I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 312 Impulsiveness Killed Shikamaru

"Shikamaru and Konohamaru!"

Amidst the fierce battle, Sarutobi Asuma's face darkened. Facing three opponents—Uzumaki Naruto, Temari, and Nara Shikamaru—he was truly feeling the strain.

However, when he heard Obito's voice from the masked man, Sarutobi Asuma's expression changed drastically. He snorted coldly and immediately made a decision.

The elusive masked Tobi filled Kakashi and Itachi with apprehension; his eye technique was simply too outrageous, especially since he could use it so freely.

"Hidan!"

Just then, Sarutobi Asuma shouted, and his chakra weapon, Flying Swallow, filled with sharp wind-style chakra, flew rapidly toward Hidan.

Meanwhile, facing Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, one unleashed a barrage of Rasengans with seemingly unlimited chakra, while the other attacked with superhuman strength. Although Sakura's strength was not yet at a masterful level, Shikamaru, who was constantly disrupting the situation with Shadow Jutsu from the sidelines, suddenly became enraged.

Wind Release: Vacuum Jewel

Suddenly, Sarutobi Asuma spat out a series of wind bullets like sharp arrows, and Sakura Haruno screamed in pain as she suffered several abrasions on her arms and body.

Boom!

Not to mention Naruto's shadow clones, they kept dissipating, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Asuma Sarutobi quickly created distance.

Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade

Taking advantage of your weakness, Sarutobi Asuma has long lost his conscience, constantly spewing out wind blades of bullets from his mouth, while also taking care of Shikamaru who is harassing and ambushing from all sides.

"Sakura!"

Upon seeing Sakura injured, Naruto roared angrily, and in an instant, a massive amount of chakra surged from his body.

Shadow Clone Technique

Bang bang~ Hundreds of Naruto Uzumaki were everywhere, each one making Rasengan and attacking Sarutobi Asuma.

Meanwhile, Hidan, who was fighting Kisame Hoshigaki in the distance, caught the Flying Swallow thrown by Asuma. Blood flowed from his palm, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he showed a maniacal smile.

"Haha, a sacrifice to the evil god, haha~"

As Kisame frowned, Hidan, the madman, grinned and greedily licked the swallow with his tongue, as if he wanted to lick away every trace Asuma had left on it.

Meanwhile, his feet were using the blood flowing from his body to draw a strange array of circles and triangles on the ground.

Beneath his manic smile, Hidan's body began to change, instantly transforming into a stark black and white state.

"I'm going to offer a sacrifice to the evil god!"

Amidst maniacal laughter, he struck a bizarre pose, gripping the blood-red scythe in his backhand. To Kisame's astonishment, with a soft "pfft," Kisame pierced his own abdomen.

The sharp tail of the crimson scythe pierced straight through his abdomen, and blood flowed down. At this moment, Hidan was laughing maniacally and excitedly, as if he had a masochistic constitution.

Upon seeing this, Kisame Hoshigaki's expression turned serious, and he immediately began to rapidly form hand seals. Although he didn't know if the other party was going crazy or using some kind of perverted ninjutsu, he wouldn't give him a chance.

Water Release: Water Severing Wave

Kisame Hoshigaki rapidly spat out a straight jet of water with extremely high pressure, which instantly pierced Hidan's chest. However, faced with such an injury, Hidan laughed even more monstrously.

"Haha~"

After Kisame Hoshigaki landed a fatal blow, he quickly retreated, widening the distance between them. He frowned and cautiously stared at his opponent.

Hidan, seeing the wound reappear on his chest, couldn't help but show his anger. "Damn it! Don't you know how much it hurts?!"

"Is this guy really immortal?!"

Upon seeing this, Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension; his immortality was simply too outrageous.

"Shikamaru!"

Just then, a furious roar rang out, and Hidan burst into maniacal laughter.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru, who had fallen from a large tree in the distance, suddenly developed two wounds on his abdomen and chest, from which blood continued to seep out.

Faced with the sudden change, Sakura and Naruto quickly stepped back, and Naruto even helped Shikamaru up.

"Damn it! Shikamaru, what's wrong with you?"

Naruto's loud shouts only made Shikamaru break out in a cold sweat. "Impossible! I dodged Asuma's Wind Release ninjutsu just now, it can't be!"

Since they were fighting Asuma, they naturally didn't know Hidan's methods. After all, no matter how high their IQ was, they were already fully focused on Asuma, so they didn't have any extra time to observe the battles of others.

"Haha~ The taste of fresh blood!"

Amidst Hidan's maniacal laughter in the distance, Sarutobi Asuma seized the opportunity to aid Hidan, and with a single strike from his Flying Swallow, he directly clashed with Kisame Hoshigaki.

With a loud bang, Kisame's terrifying strength clearly gave him the upper hand, and he almost managed to cut his opponent in one blow.

However, Asuma Sarutobi's next action caused Kisame Hoshigaki's small eyes to shrink, and he hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, don't get hurt!"

Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning

In an instant, flames shot into the sky from beneath the smoke, and the target of the attack was none other than his own comrade, Hidan. Just then, Kisame's loud shout drew everyone's attention.

"Cough cough, damn Asuma, your cigarette stench is unbearable."

As the fire subsided, Hidan, who had been protected by the fire jutsu, seemed completely unaffected. He even waved his hand and coughed in disgust, as if trying to dispel the smoky smell from his breath.

"Shikamaru!"

However, with Naruto's roar, everyone showed shock and fear. At this moment, Shikamaru stared blankly at his own body in disbelief.

With extensive burns all over his body, he could no longer speak, as his trachea had been burned.

Wind Release: Rasengan

Just then, three Narutos suddenly jumped out from the forest. With an angry roar, they gathered a huge amount of chakra in their hands, accompanied by a piercing booming sound.

Their target is Sarutobi Asuma.

"This ninjutsu! I can't get hit!"

When everyone felt the terror of this ninjutsu, they were all shocked, and at the same time, a thought arose in their minds: they absolutely could not be hit.

"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

With a roar, Naruto Uzumaki unleashed his Wind Release: Rasengan, an S-rank ninjutsu, directly at Asuma.

Naruto's sneak attack was too sudden. At this moment, Asuma Sarutobi had almost no room to dodge. His pupils shrank, revealing his fear of death.

However, the next moment, a blood-red scythe flew over, and the rope at its tail dragged Sarutobi Asuma over. When Naruto saw this, his pupils showed even more anger, and he hurled the giant Wind Release: Rasengan in his hand at the opponent.

As Hidan pulled Asuma to his side, he saw the ninjutsu coming and slapped Asuma away. Hidan then spread his arms and revealed an excited and perverted smile.

Rumble~

With a deafening roar, the immense power of this ninjutsu caused everyone to show signs of fear.

The swirling hurricane shattered the surrounding earth, and the few people present who possessed kaleidoscopes showed expressions of fear.

Their Sharingan can see billions of wind-style steel needles spinning wildly, a form of cellular destruction.

Rumble~

It wasn't until much later that the terrifying power of this ninjutsu gradually dissipated, and Hidan, who had been standing there, was already lying motionless on the ground.

After activating this ninjutsu, Naruto Uzumaki, who had been thrown back, landed on the ground, clutching his arm with a pained expression on his face.

"Naruto!"

However, at this moment, Sakura Haruno's scream resounded through the sky, and Naruto's shadow clone beside him was filled with disbelief.

"Idiot! Who gave you the right to launch an attack so casually!"

At this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki angrily shouted, "Be careful of this person! He possesses the ability to take someone's blood and perform some kind of ritual to synchronize the damage he receives with the damage he inflicts!"

"What?!"

Instantly, everyone turned to look in shock, and only then did they realize why Kisame had said they couldn't get hurt.

"Shikamaru!"

As soon as the shadow clone dissipated, Naruto instantly learned everything. His pupils trembled, and he stood in front of Shikamaru in disbelief.

"Shikamaru... Shikamaru..."

Naruto stared in disbelief at Shikamaru, who was completely limp. Shikamaru's eyes were fixed on him, as if blaming him for his impulsiveness.

Sakura, standing to the side, had tears welling up in her eyes, her hands radiating green medical chakra, but there was nothing she could do.

"Naruto! Shikamaru's cells died off en masse in an instant! Now! Now!"

Tears streamed down her cheeks. Sakura didn't finish her sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"

Hidan, who was lying in the pit in the distance, raised his head in pain. Although he was immortal, almost all the cells in his body had been destroyed, so it was impossible for him not to feel pain.

"Damn it!"

Rumble~

However, at that moment, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted in the distance, and a sea of ​​fire swept across the land, causing the earth to collapse.

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation

A vast, white sea of ​​fire swept across the land, melting the earth and creating streams of fiery red lava.

"Hidan, you idiot, run!"

Just then, a white bird flew across the sky, and Deidara shouted in a panic to his Akatsuki companions, "Uchiha Yoru is here! Run!"

Upon hearing the news from Uchiha Yoru, Kakuzu was instantly and cleanly tossed into the air by one of his masked figures, flying towards the large white bird in the sky. At the same time, another masked monster swiftly flew into the pit, grabbed the flying segment, and flung it violently.

"Kakuzu, damn it, don't treat me like trash."

However, Hidan, who was cursing in space, was caught by Kakuzu's outstretched arm. At this moment, Kakuzu had no mind to argue with Hidan and directly shouted, "Shut up!"

"Deidara, hurry up and leave them with just a few birds."

Kakubu, being an old relic who has lived for nearly a hundred years, possesses such rich experience that even Deidara admires his decisiveness.

"Kakuzu, you're right."

With a thud, Deidara, leaving behind several large white birds, hurriedly began to flee.

With Kakuzu, this old-timer, in command, there was absolutely no hesitation or delay.

In the original work, Kakuzu's death was due to two reasons: one was carelessness, and the other was actually a murder mystery. After all, with so many years of rich combat experience, he was killed off.

However, despite living for nearly a hundred years, he did not have much fame in the ninja world, which shows Kakuzu's usual low-key and cautious nature.

"Retreat immediately!"

The rest of the Akatsuki members also hurriedly began to flee, while a booming sound erupted in the distance.

Countless explosive tags rained down from the sky, turning the entire area into a world of explosive tags.

One second they were locked in fierce combat, the next they were all fleeing.

There's no other reason than that the fire jutsu that appeared from afar was simply too astonishing.

A B-rank fire-style ninjutsu could completely obliterate an entire forest; even S-rank rogue ninjas could understand that.

But not only was the forest destroyed, magma flowed out from under the cracked earth. Even though they were far apart, the heat wave that swept over them made everyone's nostrils burn. This fire escaping technique was too terrifying.

Uchiha Yoru's strength is even more terrifying than it was three years ago!

They are indeed extremely arrogant S-rank rogue ninjas, but apart from a very few like Hidan, who among them is not a shrewd and capable person to have reached this point?

This is no match for us on a different level. I'm not running! One hit of this Fire Release ninjutsu and there won't even be any bone fragments left.

……

"Shikamaru!"

Tears streamed down Naruto's cheeks. He was filled with regret, while Shikamaru in his arms had already lost his breath. In his gray pupils, there seemed to be a last vestige of resentment.

Shikamaru probably never imagined that after fighting with his high intelligence his whole life, he would ultimately die because of his comrade's impulsiveness.

In the end, Nara Shikamaru didn't even leave a single last word.

"Hmph, Kakashi, it seems your subordinates are quite strong, but not so smart."

When Kisame saw this tragic scene, he was filled with anger. He turned to look at Naruto and coldly snorted, "Kid, you're lucky today. Your impulsiveness only killed one person."

Kisame Hoshigaki turned and walked away into the distance without looking back, saying coldly, "I will report the truth when I get back, and I don't want to do missions with this impulsive brat anymore."

While powerful ninjas are popular, impulsive ninjas are always prone to causing trouble, especially in battle, where they can disrupt various plans.

In the original work, Naruto Uzumaki is known as the number one ninja with unexpected abilities, which can only be attributed to the protagonist's halo. Otherwise, given the brutality of ninja missions, an ordinary person would have died countless times over.

"Naruto!"

Uchiha Sasuke walked over at this moment, looking at Naruto and not knowing what to say. This time, Naruto really acted too impulsively.

And then there was Konohamaru, who was quite badly injured in the distance, his eyes filled with anger; they were just like him.

Gaara calmly crossed his arms and chose to leave, while Temari revealed a mocking expression when she saw this.

"What a harmful brat."

Temari's gaze was clearly fixed on Konohamaru in the distance. When she looked at Naruto again, she couldn't help but tease him, "Naruto, you should be grateful that you have great power and a strong background. Otherwise, someone like you would probably be a genin for life."

"Even if you manage to become a Chunin by sheer luck, I doubt anyone will team up with you, since teaming up with you requires being incredibly lucky."

Temari spoke calmly, while Sakura, seeing this, couldn't help but say, "Stop talking, Naruto is already suffering enough."

Naruto stared blankly at Shikamaru in his arms, as if he had lost his soul.

Please support me.
