Chapter 290 Awakening of Shikamaru

Although the number of White Zetsu is very terrifying, it must be that Akatsuki created a lot of White Zetsu during the period when they stopped attacking. The troops led by Tsunade this time were originally used as a reserve force. Although they were not as strong as the troops led by Jiraiya, there were also many jonin among them. In addition, Tsunade herself was very powerful and her attack method was so simple and crude that it was difficult for White Zetsu to break through Konoha's fortifications.

Just like before, in the end, they still had to rely on the strength of some elite ninjas to break through a certain point on the fortifications before they could successfully capture the fortifications. Asuma also led Shikamaru's team to stand on the fortifications to block the enemy. Asuma, who was good at fire escape, could often cause large-scale damage. Even if you get close to Asuma, the chakra knife in his hand is not easy to mess with. White Zetsu is least good at dealing with strong jonin.

Even though Kakuzu had lost his five hearts, ordinary ninjas were no match for him. He harvested the lives of the Konoha coalition while replenishing his own hearts. With his strength, he quickly gathered five hearts. Kakuzu's body squirmed and four monsters split out. These monsters were also very powerful, performing very powerful ninjutsu, causing a large number of casualties in the coalition. Asuma, a jonin, noticed it immediately and rushed over with Shikamaru and others.

Seeing that it was Asuma, Kakuzu said with some disdain: "The piece of cloth on your waist is the last one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. You were lucky to survive last time. Do you think you can defeat me? In this war, the winner will definitely be Akatsuki. You don't have a chance anymore." A shadow stretched out to Kakuzu, and Kakuzu immediately stepped back to avoid it. Shikamaru controlled the shadow and said: "What you said is only one-sided. The final winner will definitely be Konoha, which represents justice, and not your so-called Akatsuki."

In coordination with Shikamaru's Shadow Seam Technique, Choji also launched an attack. "Multiplication Technique, Meat Bomb Chariot", a large meat ball rotated and rolled over Kakuzu. The size of the two was completely disproportionate, and soon Kakuzu's figure disappeared in the splashing water. Choji recovered and released the Multiplication Technique, standing on the water surface, and Kakuzu's figure could not be seen on either side. Ino suddenly shouted: "Choji, be careful, he is under the water."

Choji quickly defended himself, and Kakuzu had already emerged from the water, punching Choji with a seemingly nonchalant punch. The punch hit Choji's hands, but it still made Choji step back involuntarily. If it weren't for Shikamaru's shadow, Choji would have been hit by Kakuzu's continuous attacks. Kakuzu dodged Shikamaru's shadow and said, "Trash is trash. What kind of students can a teacher of this level teach?" As he said that, Kakuzu looked at Asuma.

Asuma was a little nervous when facing Kakuzu again. He thought to himself, "Although he doesn't have another teammate to cooperate with him, he is already very difficult to deal with alone. If physical attacks don't work, I will try to use ninjutsu to destroy his heart one by one." Asuma began to form the "ninjutsu, ash-stolen burn" seal, and a large amount of special smoke and dust spewed out from his mouth, rushing towards Kakuzu. Shikamaru used the shadow seam technique to force Kakuzu to stay within the range of ash-stolen burn.

Kakuzu was submerged in the smoke and dust formed by the burning ash under the joint efforts of the two. Asuma nodded and prepared to light the fire. "Water Style, Water Falls" Kakuzu formed a seal in the smoke, and the water under his feet immediately surged up. Asuma's smoke was washed away by the water flow and dissipated directly. Kakuzu said: "This move is a fire-attributed technique, and it can be broken by water style. Whether it is the master or the student, they are all the same waste."

After all, Asuma's technique was indeed extremely disadvantageous when fighting Kakuzu, and Kakuzu was indeed qualified to say this. However, Shikamaru and the others found it particularly difficult to accept, as Asuma was their most respected teacher. However, Shikamaru and Ino could at least remain rational, only Choji could not stand Kakuzu's provocation the most, he yelled: "It's okay to say that about us, but you actually said that about Teacher Asuma?" Kakuzu laughed and said: "Among the few people, you are the most useless, fat guy!"

After hearing what Kakuzu said, Choji could no longer bear it, and he directly formed the "Double Transformation Technique", and his whole body became huge and rushed over. Although he looked fierce, in fact, he was full of flaws. The black tentacles on Kakuzu's body stretched out and tied him up directly, and he still tried to break free with brute force. Not far away, Choji also noticed the movement here, holding a huge stick and sweeping over. Kakuzu jumped to avoid it, but still tied Choji tightly.

Choji shouted, "Choji, cheer up, you are the 16th head of the Akimichi family, you can't lose in this place!" Choji immediately released the double transformation technique, and because of the shrinkage of his body, he was freed from Kakuzu's restraints. At this time, several monsters separated by Kakuzu also came over. One of the monsters released lightning and hit Choji. Although he activated the double transformation technique, Choji was still injured and half-knelt on the ground.

Choji said, "I have been causing trouble for everyone. I am always so useless." Asuma said, "Choji, although you are kind, you must believe in yourself. You have the greatest potential." After that, he said a lot of things in this regard. With the encouragement of Choji and Asuma, Choji's ability was finally awakened. A pair of huge chakra wings grew from his back, like a beautiful butterfly's wings.

However, both the body and the wings are much stronger than the butterfly, and the body shape of Shikamaru has also changed. Although the overall size has increased due to the effect of the multiplication technique, the body shape is much better than before. Before, he looked bloated, but now he can be described as strong. Moreover, this kind of strength is not superficial, but from the inside out, just like eating chili pills before. But now the transformation not only does not have the side effects of chili pills, but also becomes stronger.

Choji suddenly jumped up and punched Kakuzu, but Kakuzu did not dodge. One reason was that he felt that his body had hardened, and the other was that he really could not dodge. Choji's punch also came with special chakra, which directly blasted Kakuzu far away and hit him on the fortifications. Before he could react, Choji's next punch had already arrived, knocking him to the ground and making him unable to get up.

Shikamaru also rushed over immediately and used the Shadow Sealing Technique to bind him tightly, and the Sealing Squad rushed over immediately. However, the monsters that Kakuzu split out also rushed over, trying to stop the sealing of Kakuzu. Choji continued to swing his fists, and under such a wide range and fast attack, the monsters that Kakuzu split out were solved one by one, and Kakuzu was successfully sealed.
