Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 23 Cooperation

"Looks like it really is a big one!"

The three of them, Lu Nie and Lu Nie, looked at the mess of fallen trees and scattered branches in front of them and whispered to each other.

"This is at least the destructive power of a large summoning beast." Uchiha Shisui was also very vigilant. Even some Chunin would retreat at the sight of a beast of this size.

The three exchanged the intelligence they had observed, viewing this mission as a chance to get to know each other and begin cooperating, while also learning from and digesting the knowledge taught at the Ninja Academy.

"Did you hear that?" Suddenly, Hongdou lifted her hand from the ground and looked in one direction.

Whoosh whoosh!

A muffled, thunderous sound approached from afar, accompanied by a tremor in the ground, causing Lu Nie and the other two to tense up instantly.

"Scatter!" Uchiha Shisui shouted instinctively.

Just as the three of them used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leap into the air, a giant beast more than ten meters tall rampaged through the air, uprooting trees along its path and coming into their view.

This is a giant beast that looks like an enlarged version of a wild boar, with exposed tusks and four legs that are like four round, fleshy pillars, pounding the ground with a thud.

Seemingly regarding this area as its playground, the boar-like behemoth shook its head, fixed its gaze on another intact grove of trees, and panted heavily, adjusting its pace as if preparing to charge.

"I'll go first!" After standing firmly on a tree, Hongdou, who regarded herself as the leader, immediately began to form hand seals.

Start with the signature Dragonfire Technique.

The same technique, but the power that Red Bean is unleashing now is much greater than the power she displayed when she participated in the Bell Trial Battle.

The blazing fire transformed into a pillar of flame, striking the boar's massive body directly. The raging flames instantly spread, covering most of the boar's body.

The wild boar let out a mournful howl, its massive body instantly rolling on the ground. The surrounding ground trembled for a moment.

At the same time, it also drew the attention of the giant boar to the three people, whom it saw as insects.

"Damn! Is its defense really that strong?"

Seeing the giant beast that was still alive and kicking after consuming the complete Dragonfire Technique, only the parts hit by the technique were charred black, revealing flesh and blood beneath its fur, emanating a meaty aroma, Hongdou exclaimed in surprise.

However, Lu Nie and Zhi Shui had no intention of replying, because at that moment the enraged giant boar had already started to charge forward with a thunderous roar.

In mid-air, Shisui pulled four kunai with explosive tags attached from his back pocket and hurled them towards the giant boar. The four kunai clanged and clattered in mid-air before changing angle and piercing the area where the boar had been injured by the Dragon Fire Technique.

This single move revealed Shisui's excellent dynamic observation skills, kunai manipulation abilities, and ability to seize opportunities.

Four kunai, each bound with an explosive tag, pierced the cooked wound, then exploded in a burst of fire.

The giant beast, already severely damaged, staggered from the force of the explosion and let out an even angrier and more mournful howl.

good chance!

Having dodged the boar's charge, Anko immediately realized she was facing the injured beast. Almost instinctively, she threw two kunai with explosive tags attached to them, one in the left and one in the right, trying to replicate Shisui's attack.

But the wild boar, in pain, rolled and rubbed itself on the ground to extinguish the flames on its body. Red Bean's kunai landed on it, but was knocked away by its armor-like shell, exploding into two balls of fire in mid-air.

"Watch out, it's about to go berserk!" Shisui shouted a warning. A wounded wild animal, especially a wild boar, is almost always a fight to the death.

"Damn it, it's so big and has such high defense. My ninjutsu isn't very effective against it!" Anko yelled as she dodged the wild boar that regarded her as its enemy.

Spiritual communication!

Lu Nie, who hadn't made a move from beginning to end, bit his finger and used his blood-stained palm to form a summoning hand seal.

A giant yellow snake, accompanied by a cloud of smoke, suddenly appeared on the field, slithering rapidly towards the wild boar. The two beasts, controlled and pulled by the three, collided violently.

The giant snake coiled around the wild boar's body, while the wild boar held tightly to the snake's neck.

Just as the giant snake was about to turn into smoke and disappear, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared in the eyes of the wild boar that was being entangled and controlled by the giant snake.

The wild boar's bloodshot and angry eyes suddenly lost focus, and its strength rapidly vanished, leaving it as still as if in a deep sleep.

With a thud, the giant snake vanished, and the wild boar's enormous body collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Huff huff"

Standing atop the boar's massive body, Hongdou, who had been chased and looked utterly disheveled, took a few heavy breaths and stared at Lu Nie with a strange expression.

"How could you summon such a huge snake? I remember the Nara clan isn't known for its chakra." Anko looked at Shikagure with suspicion.

Summoning Jutsu is a technique that dynamically measures chakra consumption based on the size and power of the summoned creature. The fact that Lu Nie was able to summon such a large snake indicates that, at least in terms of chakra reserves, it surpasses her current level.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Lu Nie ignored Hong Dou, who was lost in her own thoughts and ramblings, and reached out her hand to Shi Shui, who had landed beside her.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Shisui, whose Sharingan was still activated, looked at the hand that Shino was offering, paused slightly, but shook it without hesitation.

"You two!"

"Senior sister is amazing too. She held this beast back for so long, giving us time and an opportunity."

Just as Anko was about to explode with anger, Shisui turned around and said sincerely. Anko, comforted by Shisui's sudden words, immediately beamed with joy.

"Well done."

A hoarse voice suddenly came from below.

The three of them quickly jumped off the giant beast and watched Orochimaru slowly emerge from the ground.

"Orochimaru-sensei! Look, we've taken down this giant beast together!" The impatient Anko immediately rushed over, pointing at the fallen beast beside Orochimaru with an excited expression.

"I saw it all." Orochimaru patted Anko's head, ignoring her infatuated expression, and glanced at Shisui and Shinobu. When he saw Shisui's blood-red eyes, he paused for a moment.

"Have you been observing from the shadows all this time, Lord Orochimaru?" Shisui asked, raising his hand.

"It's a dangerous mission after all. My main body is busy, so I can only use shadow clones to handle it," Orochimaru replied somewhat coldly. The incident with Nawaki only needs to happen once.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a feast." Orochimaru killed the wild boar that was still immersed in the genjutsu, sealed it in a storage scroll, and said to the three people beside him.
