Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

The Three Demon Rakshasa appeared behind Tayuya.

As Tayuya continued to play her bone flute, the soaring flute music sounded like an iron rod slamming into Shikamaru's head.

This made it difficult for Shikamaru's brain to function.

Shikamaru bit his tongue hard, the sharp pain and the taste of blood briefly clearing his mind.

The paralyzed brain quickly began to analyze.

The angry demon brandished its enormous wooden club and charged toward Shikamaru.

Bang!

The wooden stick landed exactly where Shikamaru had predicted.

He had already dodged the weapon wielded by the angry demon.

The scene before Shikamaru's eyes suddenly changed.

The image of Choji lying in a pool of blood flashed before his eyes.

Shikamaru's pupils contracted.

Next came Kiba Inuzuka, who was nailed to a tree trunk, and Akamaru, whose body was pierced by an arrow.

Bloodshot veins appeared in Shikamaru's pupils.

Blood splattered before Shikamaru's eyes.

The smell of blood overwhelmed his numb mind, and his body lunged forward.

Where he had stood, a huge axe cleaved the floor.

Shikamaru took a deep breath; his back was almost soaked with cold sweat.

He glanced at the wound on his thigh.

If he hadn't used a kunai to pierce his thigh to regain his senses, he probably would have been cleaved in two by the giant axe.

The cursed seal climbed onto Tayuya's body, and her appearance gradually changed before Shikamaru's eyes.

Tayuya's skin and pupils turned black, and a pair of sharp horns grew on her head.

The bone flute was held to her lips, and eerie notes kept flying out from it.

Shikamaru throws kunai with both hands.

Several explosive tags were tied to the back of the kunai.

The Angry Demons blocked Tayuya's path, and the explosive tags detonated in front of the three Angry Demons.

The blast wave sent the three angry demons flying.

Their massive bodies crashed heavily to the ground.

The ground beneath Shikamaru's feet trembled continuously.

Tayuya glanced at the fallen demon behind her, her face showing anger.

The angry demon slowly rose to its feet.

Just as Tayuya was about to retreat behind the angry demons, she suddenly found herself unable to move.

Tayuya's pupils slowly moved downwards.

The black shadow bit her ankle like a snake.

Her shadow was connected to the shadow beneath Shikamaru's feet.

Tayuya gritted her teeth and forced the bone flute to her lips.

Her powerful strength made it difficult for Shikamaru to control himself. Shikamaru gritted his teeth and desperately pressed his hands down.

Veins bulged on Shikamaru's temples.

Shikamaru's body suddenly relaxed.

He was taken aback and looked at Tayuya.

The shadows beneath our feet remain connected.

But Tayuya had already stopped struggling.

More accurately, Tayuya was forced to stop struggling.

Vines that sprouted from the ground tightly wrapped around her body, binding her high in the air.

click-

Tayuya's wrist was broken by the vines.

The bone flute fell to the ground.

The three angry demons behind her, now out of Tayuya's control, stood frozen in place.

"Muzan?"

Upon seeing the familiar vines, Shikamaru's heart, which had been pounding in his chest, returned to normal.

He looked towards the woods behind him and saw a familiar figure leap down from a branch.

Why are you here?

Shikamaru asked in surprise.

He wasn't so confident as to believe that Muzan had come to save them.

"Have you seen Choji and Kiba Inuzuka?"

Shikamaru, without bothering to analyze Muzan's motives, quickly asked about the most important matter.

"I saw it."

Muzan nodded.

How are they?

Shikamaru asked nervously.

"He's dead."

Muzan smiled at Shikamaru.

Shikamaru: "..."

He panicked for only a moment before regaining his composure: "Liar."

Muzan: "...You'll see for yourself when you go back."

Shikamaru glanced at him sideways: "Although you are indeed ruthless, I have always felt that you treat us as your private property and would not let others kill us."

That's an exaggeration!

Muzan looked at Shikamaru in shock.

Shikamaru: "Is there a problem with my analysis?"

When Muzan stares at them, isn't it the same way he looks at his little pet?

Muzan: "...No, no problem."

Shikamaru is so strong, he even wanted to give him a thumbs up.

"Although I lost my dignity by being treated like a pet by you, it's still worth it to save my life."

Shikamaru nodded.

Muzan: "..."

How should he face Shikamaru, who said such a thing?

"Go back now, leave the rest to me."

Muzan swallowed hard and said to Shikamaru.

Shikamaru looked at Tayuya in front of him: "Do you want to study her?"

Muzan stared at Shikamaru expressionlessly: "Enough, stop analyzing me."

Otherwise, he would turn hostile.

At that time, it won't just be Tayuya's chakra that will be absorbed.

He intended to absorb Shikamaru's and the others' chakra after they had been fattened up, but if Shikamaru insisted on making things difficult for himself, he wouldn't mind taking action against Shikamaru's chakra now.

Shikamaru shut up, jumped onto a tree branch, and ran towards Konoha.

It wasn't that he voluntarily gave up the mission, but rather that the mission was too difficult to complete.

There's no way Sasuke could come back with them.

Just as Muzan said before, this is an impossible task.

He believed that the Hokage understood this in his heart.

More importantly, he needed to go to the hospital to check on Choji and Kiba Inuzuka.

Three hours later, Shikamaru arrived at Konoha Hospital.

He hurriedly pushed open the door to the hospital room of Choji Akimichi and Kiba Inuzuka.

Shikamaru and Choji Akimichi, who was eating potato chips in his hospital bed, made eye contact.

On the other hospital bed, Kiba Inuzuka is petting a dog.

The three people looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

Sakon and Ukon's sinister laughter echoed in Naruto's ears.

Naruto's last clone was torn apart.

Sakon and Ukon's unexpected iron fists rained down on Naruto.

Naruto was kicked away by Sakon and Ukon, his body crashing through two large trees.

Naruto collapsed to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Despite the intense pain in his back, Naruto slowly stood up.

A flash of bloodlust crossed his pupils.
