Chapter 80 Super Beast Imitation Drawing Chakra Acquired

"Wake up!"

"The enemy is coming."

While he was asleep, the consciousness of the shadow clone suddenly connected, and Li Yao immediately woke up, opened his eyes, and then felt a wave of dizziness.

Clearly, he had only been asleep for a short while when he was woken up by the shadow clone.

"So fast!"

After the dizziness subsided, Li Yao suddenly sat up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He sensed that ten flame-shaped swallows had entered his two-kilometer radius.

This range is the perception range of the shadow clone.

Within Li Yao's five-kilometer chakra perception range, two humanoid flames were standing on the back of the giant bird flame, entering his five-kilometer range.

Needless to say, Li Yao understood that the two people who found him were two of the members of the pursuit team.

The other two should still be on the other side of the Land of Fire and haven't arrived yet.

"How did these two guys find me?"

A hint of doubt flashed through Li Yao's mind, and then he thought, could it be that he was seen when he controlled the Black Iron Giant Eagle to fly into the sky?

If that's the case, then it's alright; Li Yao was just unlucky.

But if they tracked us down here through other means... that would be troublesome.

Because Li Yao was unaware of their tracking methods.

This means that there will always be someone following Li Yao, making it difficult for him to hide his whereabouts.

"We need to test their tracking methods."

Li Yao thought to himself, then walked out of the waterfall cave and came to a big tree by the pool. He leaned against the tree and sensed the ink swallows flying behind him.

The enemy seems to know he's at the pool.

As the swallows approached the pond, their flight slowed, and they flew among the branches of large trees that still had green leaves, using the leaves to conceal themselves.

If Li Yao didn't possess chakra perception, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to notice the small bird, Fei Yan, flitting among the green branches and leaves.

"Let me see what kind of ninjutsu chakra the Super Beast Imitation Drawing uses."

Li Yao smiled slightly. Although he was wary of the enemy's unknown tracking methods, now that he had the Black Iron Giant Eagle, escaping was no longer a problem, and he felt more confident.

It's mainly because it's a rare opportunity.

Before the enemy realizes he has sensed the approach of the Ink Flying Swallow, he can grab one of the Ink Flying Swallows and sense the changes in its chakra nature and form. This will give him an additional flying ninjutsu. Why not?

With a thought, Li Yao's black iron chain shot out from beneath his feet, passed through the ground, and arrived at a large green tree a kilometer away.

Li Yao then manipulated the black iron chain to continue passing through the tree trunk in an illusory form, quickly approaching a swallow that was perched on a branch.

"Whoosh!"

Before the ink-wash swallow could fly to the next tree, Li Yao manipulated the black iron chain to suddenly shoot out from the tree trunk, turning from ethereal to solid, and quickly wrapped around the ink-wash swallow, trapping it in a ball.

"bump!"

The solidified black iron chains suddenly flew off the ground, leaving a scratch on the ground.

"Whoosh!"

With a thought, Li Yao retrieved the black iron chains.

Three kilometers away, Sarutobi Ayase, who was slowly flying towards this place, sensed that a water swallow had suddenly been trapped, and her expression changed.

"Li Yao has spotted Fei Yan."

As Sarutobi Ayase spoke, she closed her left eye, connecting it to the ink-wash swallow that Li Yao had bound, but all she could see was darkness.

"Is it a shadow clone?" Sarutobi Tensuke asked.

"I don't know." Sarutobi Ayase shook her head and said, "The ink-wash swallow was probably bound by Li Yao's black chakra chains, and its vision was blocked, so it couldn't be seen clearly."

"Tie me up... what does that mean?" Sarutobi Tenjuro asked, puzzled.

"He's probably afraid that if he attacks Feiyan, Feiyan will turn into ink and stick to his chakra chains," Sarutobi Ayase casually remarked.

Sarutobi Tenjuchi frowned, feeling that Li Yao's actions had a deeper meaning that he was unaware of.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

"Ayase, fly up there," Sarutobi Tenshu said.

"Understood," Sarutobi Ayase replied.

Since Li Yao has already discovered them, they might as well fly high into the sky and openly stare at Li Yao, which would give them a better field of vision.

On Li Yao's side, the black iron chain quickly brought back a swallow in ink painting style.

Manipulating the black iron chain to reveal a gap, Li Yao stretched out his finger and gently touched the back of the ink-wash swallow.

In an instant, the changes in the nature and form of the chakra on the ink-wash swallow flooded into Li Yao's perception and were instantly grasped by him.

At the same time, Li Yao also easily discovered the secret of this ninjutsu.

He can condense the chakra of the Super Beast Imitation Drawing Ninjutsu whenever he wants.

Unfortunately... this ninjutsu is not just a simple chakra ninjutsu.

Even with the Super Beast Imitation Painting Ninjutsu Chakra, Li Yao was unable to conjure ink-wash animals.

It also requires ink as a carrier of the super beast imitation chakra, and in addition to painting on special scroll chakra paper and injecting personal will, in order to paint an ink animal that can have animal characteristics and instincts.

Li Yao had neither ink as a medium to infuse the super beast forgery chakra, nor scroll chakra paper capable of being infused with his personal will.

Therefore, even if he copied the Super Beast Imitation Drawing ninjutsu chakra, he could not perform the real Super Beast Imitation Drawing.

"But... I never imagined ninjutsu could be used like this!"

Li Yao was not disappointed; on the contrary, his eyes showed excitement.

The variety of ninjutsu is what makes Naruto so captivating, and Li Yao was naturally very interested in all sorts of ninjutsu.

Although it's not possible to use the Super Beast Imitation Painting right now.

However, the principle behind the Super Beast Imitation Drawing ninjutsu is also a pleasant surprise.

In just a moment, Li Yao had many ideas in his mind that could be used to develop some special ninjutsu by applying the principles of Super Beast Imitation Drawing Ninjutsu.

However, now is not the time to research and develop these ideas.

The moment Li Yao caught the ink swallow, the other ink swallows flew toward him at lightning speed.

Li Yao still needed to test the two men's tracking methods, but he couldn't let Shui Mo Fei Yan discover it.

Li Yao's mind raced.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the edge of the pool, three Li Yaos used a black iron chain on their backs to leap into the air a hundred meters high, and then a black eagle shot out from beneath their feet.

The black eagle rapidly expanded into a giant black iron eagle with a wingspan of fourteen meters, supporting Li Yao in the air.

"Walk."

With a thought, the three Li Yaos controlled the black iron giant eagles to fly in three different directions opposite to the direction from which Sarutobi Tenju and his wife were chasing them.

Li Yao, who flew to the left, stood on the back of the black iron giant eagle, glanced back, and thought to himself, "Let me see if you can actually track down my true form."

"Damn it, it's another shadow clone!"

Never before had Sarutobi Tenjuro hated the Shadow Clone Jutsu so much.

In the past, when faced with enemy pursuit, he would use this ninjutsu to leave his enemies gritting their teeth, unsure which one to chase as the true form.

Now, this feeling of gnashing teeth has shifted from the enemy to him.

His usual smugness should now be directed at Li Yao.

"What should we do?"

"Which one should you pursue?"

Sarutobi Ayase was also at a loss, not knowing which Li Yao to pursue.

Sarutobi Tenjuro frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Li Yao in the middle and said, "Follow behind him."

The three directions Li Yaofei flew in were: the right direction was directly towards Konoha, and the left direction was towards the Land of Water.

In either of these two directions, going to Konoha will naturally allow someone to identify whether Li Yao is the real person.

There is also a barrier center in the direction of the Land of Water, which can sense Li Yao. As long as Li Yao continues to fly using the giant eagle formed from chakra, he will not escape the perception of the barrier center.

Only the central direction leads south to the Land of Fire, where there are neither many Konoha ninja protecting it nor a large barrier center.

Sarutobi Tenjuro was chasing Li Yao in this direction.

This will allow us to determine, to the greatest extent possible, which of the three Li Yaos is the original.

Of course, Li Yao might mislead him with this kind of thinking, and there's a high probability that he'll change direction midway.

In short, no matter what, dealing with shadow clones is just that troublesome.

soon.

Sarutobi Tenjuro and his wife rode a giant ink-wash bird over the waterfall toward Li Yao in the middle.

A while later.

Five kilometers away from the waterfall pool, Sarutobi Tenjuro and his wife flew out of the waterfall cave and landed on the surface of the pool.

"It seems those two Konoha ninjas have very weak chakra sensing abilities."

Li Yao gazed in the direction Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife had flown off to, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He was now fairly certain that Sarutobi Tensuke and his wife had tracked him here because he had been seen controlling the Black Iron Eagle.

Clearly, the woman could see him clearly from at least five kilometers away using the eyes of the large ink-wash bird beneath her feet.

That's why he was spotted and tracked down when he flew into the sky.

Li Yao thought for a moment, then smiled, and with a thought, he turned into smoke and disappeared with a "bang".

What remained in the waterfall cave was naturally a shadow clone.

Li Yao wouldn't risk using his own body to test the enemy's perception abilities.
