I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Relying solely on the Body Flicker Technique is obviously not enough to escape. Although the Escape Technique is very fast, it is actually no different from the Body Flicker Technique.

However, the Instantaneous Movement Technique is simply about speed; it cannot evade attacks.

Shigure's Instantaneous Movement allows him to easily dodge attacks.

And now!

Suddenly, Shi Yu took a step and leaped into the air.

Cloud Release: Somersault Cloud!

The next second, a cloud of white mist instantly appeared beneath Shigure's feet.

The white clouds were as soft and fluffy as cotton candy. Shigure stepped on the Flying Cloud and accelerated, soaring hundreds of meters into the air, heading straight towards Shukaku.

Seeing this, Mei Teru 603, who had just caught up, also stopped and looked up at Shigure in the sky.

'What kind of ninjutsu is this?'

遁？

No! It's not an escape!

Is it also an ice-style ninjutsu? But it doesn't seem like it!

What kind of strange ninjutsu is that called "Time Rain"?

After her initial surprise, Mei Terumi smiled. "This is getting more and more interesting, kid!"

Even though Shigure had flown away, Mei Terumi did not intend to give up and continued to use Body Flicker to chase after Shigure.

Their battle took place south of Konoha Village, while Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, was located to the north.

Exactly the opposite!

Shigure swept across the sky above the Chunin Exams.

Few of the ninjas below noticed it.

However, Naruto and Sasuke, Ao and Chojuro all noticed that something was wrong.

A white cloud streaked across the sky; it was hard not to notice it.

Qing: "What is that?"

Chojuro: "Why are the clouds flying back so fast?"

Although Sasuke and Naruto didn't say anything, their first thought was of Shigure.

Only Shigure possesses such unique ninjutsu.

Sasuke: 'Manipulating clouds? How did you do that? Shigure, you're becoming more and more unpredictable!'

Naruto: 'That's a really cool move. I wish I could learn it.'

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was staring solemnly at Orochimaru from within the four purple flame array on the rooftop, suddenly saw white clouds on the rooftop flash by like a flash of light.

Hiruzen looked up at the sky.

A look of confusion appeared on his face, but then Hiruzen smiled as he watched the direction the white clouds had gone.

'That kid Shigure, he really does surprise you all the time!'

Orochimaru noticed it too.

I have never seen such a technique before.

As they looked at Shigure, Shigure was also looking down.

'The battle between Orochimaru and Hiruzen hasn't even fully begun yet. If we can take down the One-Tailed Beast quickly, we might still be able to return in time to analyze the Wood Release ninjutsu!'

Swish! !

Shigure accelerated again, hurtling straight toward the distant Shukaku.

At this moment, there were already quite a few ninjas around Shukaku, and they also wanted to stop Shukaku from causing destruction.

But this is a tailed beast; a casual wave of its hand can easily destroy a large area of ​​buildings around it.

He slapped more than a dozen ninjas away.

Hearing their screams, Shigure in the air watched the ninjas being blown away. If he let them fall to the ground like that, he would be in trouble.

Even if they weren't killed by the fall, the terrifying impact would likely shatter their internal organs, leading to immediate death.

Shi Yu quickly raised her hand, as if she had thrown out several wads of cotton.

Cloud Escape - The Technique of Solidifying Clouds and Mist.

This technique allows the clouds and mist created by Shigure to appear in a physical form, but Shigure can control their hardness at will.

Several clouds descended, landing directly beneath a group of ninjas who had initially thought they were about to die.

But when I actually fell, I felt like I was completely fine; something soft behind me completely absorbed the impact.

Looking back, they found that something white had protected them.

"what is this?"

A genin gently pinched Shigure's cloud, feeling the strange sensation.

Before he could figure out what was going on...

The sound of rain began.

"Get back! I'll handle this guy!"

As she spoke, the clouds disappeared, and Shiyu fell from the clouds and jumped to the ground.

At this moment, Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, also noticed Shigure. "Damn human, you and this group of people think you can stop me!"

"I will bury everything here completely."

Wind Release: Practice Air Bullet!

Crack!

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted as the air inside Shukaku's mouth was compressed and blasted straight towards Shigure.

Although it's just an air cannon, getting hit by it is definitely not an easy task.

However, the next second, clouds automatically generated in front of Shigure, and together they formed a cloud wall.

Buzzing!

A deafening roar erupted, and the seemingly harmless cloud wall actually blocked Shukaku's attack.

And it remained completely still throughout the entire process.

The surrounding genin who rushed over were all stunned.

"What kind of technique is this?"

"The tailed beast's attack is completely ineffective!"

"Isn't that Gekko Shigure, who's taking the Chunin Exams right now?!"

Shukaku: "You've got some skill, managing to block my attack!"

As he spoke, Shukaku's eyes gleamed. "Damn humans, let's see how many you can stop!"

suck! ! !

Shukaku began to inhale frantically.

Shigure smiled; it seemed the power of Cloud Release was stronger than he had imagined.

The Cloud Release technique Shigure had only maintained 80% of its power just now, yet Shukaku's Wind Release couldn't break through it.

It seems that Cloud Escape not only has strength, but also incredible resilience.

In that case, Shigure felt even more confident.

The next second, Shigure also took a deep breath and then exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.

Cloud Escape - Cloud and Mist Cage!

The next second, the mist in Shiyu's mouth began to spread, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a huge cloud storm.

The fog and storm enveloped Shigure and Shukaku.

It looked like a giant birdcage, but with clouds and mist surrounding it, you couldn't see what was going on inside from the outside.

All the genin were kept outside the cage, which was shrouded in mist.

Even sunlight seemed unable to penetrate...

Chapter 160 Tailed Beast Analysis: Gluttony Activates

Shortly after the cloud cage formed, Mei Terumi, who had arrived from behind, looked at the enormous cloud cage before her.

'What's this? ’

Many Konoha ninjas had gathered around, and some were even trying to attack the clouds of mist.

However, no matter whether they used kunai, shuriken, or even ninjutsu, it had no effect on these clouds and mist.
