- From below! - suddenly exclaimed kage bunshin (shadow clone) on the right and grabbed my shoulder and jumped aside.
At the same moment, thin black harnesses erupted from the ground, seeking to grab and hold us. We managed to get out of range, but the second clone was in the center of the attack and only by a huge chakra burst through all the tenketsu, avoided capture, scattering the harnesses in all directions and some of them even broke. Except that didn't help him.
- Raiton: Gain (Lightning Release: False Darkness)!
Huge bolts of lightning pierced through the fog and struck straight at him. Not designed for such strikes, despite the large amount of chakra, the clone simply dispelled.
- Katon: Karyu Endan (Fire Release: Flaming Fire Dragon Projectile).
And a huge fire dragon swept towards us. Damn it! Taking out two seals from my pocket, I threw them into the path of the technique, raising the kekkai and buying a couple seconds. The remaining clone was just finishing folding the seals at breakneck speed.
- Suiton: Suiryudan no Jutsu (Water Release: Water Dragon Projectile Technique).
The fire dragon that broke through the barrier met its water-only counterpart, and they mutually destroyed each other, showering us with scalding hot steam and scalding the exposed skin of my face and arms. But that was the least of our problems, as the wave of harnesses threatened to bury us beneath them again, and one of the chakra sources was rapidly approaching through the thinning mist, clearly eager to engage us in hand-to-hand combat. How many times can we be pressed!?
Activating the sharingan, I looked around and grabbed the copy by the shoulder and used the shunshin, ending up about three hundred meters away from the fight. Not a great distance for a strong shinobi, but it allowed me to catch my breath and leave the enemy on one side only.
- We split up and go in a semicircle, using clones," I commanded my partner, "and don't spare chakra, otherwise Kakuzu will just crush us with the number and speed of techniques.
- I agree," he nodded.
- Kage bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Cloning Technique)!
