If it were not for the assistance of the Water Escape Scroll, and if both the ground and the air were filled with strong water elements, just one move of the Snake Mouth Technique could consume half of the chakra in the female ninja Otsu's body. But sometimes being more powerful does not mean it is more lethal. The seemingly sharp snake fangs hit the tree trunk and only picked off a few pieces of sawdust before scattering into rushing water waves. However, the torrent carried silt, gravel, and broken wood, causing even greater damage. Ino and Shikamaru hid in a thick tree, looking at the peak at their feet, and felt something strange at the same time. Having just withdrawn from the northern battlefield and having experienced several battles with Kumogakure ninjas, Ino and Shikamaru were no longer young chickens who had never been on the battlefield. Although he still had no special sense of murderous intent, the opponent seemed to only show some murderous intent at the beginning. Neither of the two ninjutsu launched were particularly lethal. Neither the water fan bullet nor the snake mouth jutsu is a fatal ninjutsu, and its practicality in battle is far inferior to the original water iron cannon. In a life-and-death battle, such a waste of chakra made Shikamaru suspect that there was fraud, and he did not dare to act rashly. Shikamaru clearly remembered that besides this woman, there was another water escape ninja, but he never showed up after the war started. If the opponent counterattacks them, there will be an oriole behind, Shikamaru and Ino alone, Shikamaru has no confidence that they can do everything. Using scrolls to pave the home ground and create a favorable environment is a very advanced strategy for water ninjas to fight. There should be very few wandering ninjas who master this level of warfare, but some ninja villages like to do this when fighting in densely distributed water sources. Shikamaru even constructed a complete conspiracy theory in his mind: Amegakure or Kirigakure had a secret agreement with Kumogakure, pretending to be wandering ninjas, attacking Konoha's border defenses, and preparing to eat most of the northern part of the Land of Fire in one fell swoop. The two villages that were good at water escape both implemented a secluded isolation policy, and a team of four wandering ninjas happened to have two ninjas who were good at water escape. It was hard not to make Shikamaru think of it. According to the records within the clan, it is extremely difficult to pass on the inheritance of wandering ninjas. The control of ninjutsu in both large and small ninja villages is extremely strict. Obtaining new ninjutsu basically depends on chance. Wandering ninjas who can skillfully use two or three offensive ninjutsu are already very rare. Although the five major countries look down on the power of a few wandering ninjas, many small ninja villages actually have the habit of recruiting famous wandering ninjas. Kirigakure no Jutsu, Water Wave, Water Barrier, Water Iron Cannon, Water Fang Bullet, Shekou Jutsu, the other party was just like showing off his water escape. Could a wandering ninja who has mastered six different water escape ninjutsus and refused to be recruited really exist? Shikamaru didn't believe there would be such a coincidence. But this profile is very consistent with the social psychology of a person who is good at water escape, but has never had the opportunity to show it in battle, and subconsciously wants to show off. The fact that Kirigakure Village ranks among the top five ninja villages is not self-proclaimed. The Mizukage of all generations have been quite powerful, and they also have quite a few blood successor families. The Oniden clan, the Taketori clan, the Inogaki clan, and the Minazuki clan, in terms of combat power, the Kirigakure village is definitely one of the five great ninja villages. In addition, the Kingdom of Water is isolated overseas, and the defensive pressure is much smaller than that of the "Four War Lands" like the Kingdom of Fire. On the frontal battlefield, the combat power that Kirigakure Village can produce may not be worse than that of Konoha. If they were Kirigakure's ninjas and were part of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they would have the right to look down on these Konoha brats. The same goes for Amegakure Village. The leader of Amegakure Village, Sansho Hanzo, was once known as the demigod of the ninja world at his peak. That is a being whose combat power is comparable to that of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and may even be superior. It's a pity that the foundation of Amegakure Village is too weak after all. Under the deliberate suppression of Kumogakure, Iwagakure and Konoha, Sanshouyu Hanzo can't support himself alone. In the Second Ninja World War, Amegakure was exhausted by the three major countries. the country’s national power. After being forced to sign an alliance agreement with Konoha, the Rain Country announced that it had closed its borders and began to recuperate. It's not a glorious thing to say. At the beginning of the Third Ninja War, Konoha wanted to set the battlefield in the direction of Rain Country, so as to force the ally Rain Country to send troops to assist. If it were a ninja from the Amegakure Village, under the aura of Sansho Hanzo, the Amegakure ninjas who hated Konoha and were eager to prove themselves would also have the motive to do this. "Shikamaru" Just when Shikamaru was feeling heavy and uneasy, and thinking crazy thoughts, Ino's voice brought back Shikamaru's consciousness. "Ino, can you find Choji?" Shikamaru said subconsciously. "Shikamaru" Ino interrupted Shikamaru with a slightly surprised expression. Shikamaru then remembered that Chouji's arms were injured. Under normal circumstances, Shikamaru would never have made such a stupid mistake, but in a very short period of time, Shikamaru had filled up his mind with so many things that he was overwhelmed. I ignored a lot of things that I would never ignore at ordinary times. For example, all his current conjectures are just based on one conjecture after another. Ino didn't know why Shikamaru would be distracted at this time. Maybe Choji was not around and she was not the only one who was uneasy. Ino wasn't going to get into it, but she needed a normal Shikamaru right now. "Do you want to go?" Ino formed a half-seed gesture with one hand. The three words "Inarakacho" not only represent the three major secret arts families in Konoha, but also represent the team model with tacit cooperation and complete tactics. What is called tactical integrity? Various combinations of the three cores are called complete when they have their own responses to various situations. There are also many tactics in the three-person team where two pairs of them cooperate with each other. The half Indian style in Ino's hand represents one of these formations. Shikamaru understood what Ino meant with just one look. It is too arrogant to wait for the enemy to take the initiative to reveal flaws. If they continue to let the opponent do what they do, the environment will only become more and more unfavorable for them. In this case, it's better to give it a try. Even if you can't achieve success with one blow, you can at least explore more things. With the plan settled, Shikamaru's thinking suddenly became clear. Putting aside the heavy tension, Shikamaru even took the time to take a deep breath. "Change to e formation." Shikamaru suggested. Ino hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded. The number of times they have run into the e-formation is still relatively small. Although the success rate is not bad, in Ino's impression, there are still a few formations with a higher success rate. But since Shikamaru made this suggestion, it meant that Shikamaru had a plan in mind. Now was not the time to discuss tactics, Ino chose to trust Shikamaru's judgment. Immediately, Ino closed her eyes, formed seals with her hands, and began to condense chakra.
