Chapter 65

[Naruto and Kiba didn't understand what the two were doing, so they were unwilling to follow Shikamaru's plan after he came up with it. Fortunately, Choji's reminder reminded them of what Shikamaru had said before, and the two of them calmed down. ]

[So everyone found the weakest point in the barrier under Neji's Byakugan observation, and then with Choji's powerful attack, they successfully broke the barrier and escaped. ]

[The five of them faced Jirobo, who looked grim. Shikamaru praised Choji beside him, "Choji, you are indeed... the best partner!"]

["Hehe!"]

["They were trapped in such a simple technique for so long. Should I praise this fat guy or criticize Naruto and the others for being too weak?"]

["As I said, as long as it is practical, simplicity is not a problem, whether it is a strategy or a ninjutsu!"]

["Should I say he is worthy of being the partner of Ino-Shika-Chou? Even though Shikamaru didn't say anything, Choji started to cooperate consciously."]

"Well done! Shikamaru, Choji! Let them see how powerful Ino-Shika-Chou is!" Ino clenched her fists excitedly.

Unaccustomed to her smug look, Kiba curled his lips and muttered, "You haven't even appeared yet, why are you so excited!"

The sharp-eared Ino heard Kiba's complaints and glanced at him with disdain: "So what if you appeared? Are you dragging us down like you and Naruto!"

"Hey! Why do you want to involve me!"

[Even though they escaped the enemy's barrier, the people who had absorbed a lot of chakra could not easily defeat Jirobo, especially after fighting with the opponent, Shikamaru confirmed this. ]

["There is no time, let's act separately, if we delay any longer, we will not be able to catch up with Sasuke." Shikamaru came to this conclusion based on the analysis of the enemy's combat power: "Ningji, you will be the vice-captain, take Kiba and Choji to continue moving forward, and let Naruto and I deal with him!"]

[Jirobo laughed at Shikamaru's ninjutsu and tactical arrangements with a nonchalant look on his face, and Choji was immediately angry when he heard him repeatedly insulting his friend. 】

【"Leave it to me!" Choji looked at Jirobo with his eyes wide open: "I'll deal with this guy!"】

["Another guy who looks down on the secret techniques of the Nara family."]

["Huh? With this development, they are not going to use a one-on-one tactic!?"]

["This fat guy's earth escape ninjutsu is of a very high level. Does Choji have a chance of winning!"]

["The Akimichi clan is a physical ninja. Because they can change their body shape, their attack power is very high. The fat guy's ability is to absorb chakra and add earth escape. There is no obvious restraint between the two sides. The outcome depends on their respective strengths."]

["In terms of hard power, Choji is weaker than his opponent. Judging from the fact that they were able to defeat two jonins before, the fat guy's strength is at least equal to 0.5 jonins?"]

["Hahaha, who taught you to convert strength like this! When did jonin become a unit of measurement!"]

【Shikamaru obviously didn't expect Choji to say this. He didn't realize Choji's plan until he handed him the Hyouryo Maru. 】

【Naruto didn't understand the interaction between the two. Even if Choji said he had a special trick, he didn't think he could defeat his opponent. However, Choji's attitude at this time was unusually firm: "Why did we gather together? If Sasuke really left the country, then we would be like he said, an idiot captain with a group of idiots!"】

【"...Choji, remember to catch up!" Feeling his determination, Shikamaru stopped trying to stop him and continued to chase the enemy with the other three. 】

["What special move can allow a Genin to fight a Jonin? Does anyone who knows the Akimichi clan know what this is about?"]

["Maybe it's the Akimichi clan's secret medicine?"]

Shikamaru looked at Choji with wide eyes: "That thing can't be taken casually!"

Choji was no longer nervous at this time, and nodded calmly: "I heard from my father that there will be great side effects, but since I am allowed to carry it, it means that there may be occasions for use."

"What are you talking about! I don't understand a word! What is Choji's special move?"

Naruto interrupted, but the few people who knew the situation did not answer. Kakashi signaled him to keep quiet and pay attention to the progress of the Tianmu story.

["Hmph! I'll kill you first, and then I'll deal with them right away!" Jirobo said with disdain, and then rushed straight to Choji. 】

[Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, Choji took out three pills from his ninja tool bag and ate the green one. 】

[Although he noticed Choji's move, Jirobo didn't pay much attention to it, but he didn't expect that his powerful attack would be intercepted by his opponent. 】

["The trick is reallyIt's this!"]

["This medicine is so powerful, it can improve a Genin's strength so much!"]

["If every Genin in Konoha carries this medicine, it won't be a problem to conquer the ninja world!"]

["Hey! Don't bring hatred to our Konoha! That thing is specially formulated according to the physique of the Akimichi clan, and other people can't use it at all! ”]

【Jirobo didn’t expect that Choji’s strength was even greater than he imagined. He was caught by his belt and thrown out.】

【The enemy was successfully intercepted, but Choji’s own condition was not very good. The side effects of the secret medicine exceeded expectations, and severe abdominal pain acted on him.】

【On the pursuit team, the other three learned the effects of the three-color pills from Shikamaru. Shikamaru, who chose not to tell them the side effects of the secret medicine, could only hide his worries in his heart and pray that Choji could quickly resolve the enemy.】

【‘If possible, I hope that only the green pill can solve it! But don’t touch the red pill anyway, Choji!’】

[“What will happen if I take the red pill? Will I die!”]

[“The side effects occur at the same time as the strengthening effect? ​​This is a bit difficult to deal with!”]

[“The strength has increased, and maybe it also has the effect of enhancing chakra? ”]

[Even though they didn’t know the side effects of the secret medicine, Kiba and Neji expressed their concerns about Choji. After all, the opponent was not an ordinary person, and Shikamaru didn’t deny this.]

[“That’s right. This mission is not a joke. We have to risk our lives to execute it. Dispersing the enemy is really the worst choice. I know this... But if we don’t do this, we won’t be able to catch up with Sasuke if we fight one person at a time.”]

[After pondering for a moment, Shikamaru’s eyes were full of trust: “Choji is very generous, but he lacks confidence in himself. He always thinks he is weaker than all of us.”]

[“We all know this! So that guy chose to stay first in order to help as much as possible!” Kiba thought he saw through Choji’s thoughts. Hearing this, Shikamaru showed an expression that he didn’t expect: “... Ha, as expected!”]

[“Inuzuka Kiba is very confident. Do you admit that you are stronger than Akimichi Choji? ”]

[“Although I know that the mission is not a joke, it is too dangerous to use a one-on-one tactic. Even if Sasuke is rescued, how many people will be left in the pursuit team? Is it worth it! ”]

[“It depends on the requirements of each village for the completion of the mission. If the mission is the top priority, the mission will not stop until the last person is dead!”]

[“...You are talking about Kirigakure, right?”]
