In a moment of desperation, Mai didn't have time to think and pushed Naruto's body away.
"Rip!"
The barbs on the chain cut the girl's arm, and bright red blood splattered out.
Naruto, this idiot…it hurts!
This was the first thing Mai felt. She endured the pain of her arm being torn apart and kicked sideways, forcing Rebel Ninja, who was about to make his next move, to retreat.
"Blood…Mai! Mai, you're injured!"
It was only then that Naruto seemed to have come to his senses. When he saw Mai's bleeding arm, a hint of self-blame flashed across his eyes. He ran over to Mai's side to check on her injuries.
"I'm fine…"
Mai gritted her teeth and forced a smile as she felt a stinging pain on her arm.
She didn't expect that being cut by someone would hurt so much. It was a heart-piercing pain…In her previous life, when had she ever suffered such pain in a peaceful era? She couldn't even kill a chicken, let alone get injured in a fight. In terms of combat strength, she was only at the level of 0.5 chickens...
He really admired himself for being able to joke around at a time like this.
Mai mocked herself in her heart and curbed her thoughts. She scolded Naruto,"You idiot! What are you waiting for? Where's your Shadow Clone Technique? Do you have to wait for me to die before you use it?”
“……”
Naruto was stunned for a moment. The stubbornness and slight cowardice in his eyes gradually disappeared.
A moment later, it was replaced by a determined gaze.
"Mai…no, Sis, I won't let you die!”
He roared angrily and quickly formed a seal with his hands.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
In an instant, dozens of Naruto appeared on the spot. In addition to the dozens from before, the venue was instantly packed. Immediately after, these nearly a hundred shadow clones quickly surrounded the renegade.
"You hurt my sister. I'll make you pay the price!”
All of the Narujin stared with their blood-red eyes, like a pack of wolves looking at a surrounded sheep.
The Renjin was forced to take a step back by this aura. His face kept twitching, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. However, the psychological quality that he had trained after many years of wandering allowed him to force himself to maintain a calm posture."Hmph, if you can, try!”
Thus, all the Naruto-san did not waste any time and swarmed forward, surrounding the Renin.
"Water Evasion, Chaotic Water Waves!"
The Renin spat out a water column as thick as a water pipe, and the powerful water pressure washed away the Naruto clones in front of him, disappearing one by one.
However, Water Turbulence was only the lowest level of water escape ninjutsu, and it was a straight line attack. The Naruto-men on the sides and behind found an opportunity. Five Naruto-men instantly went up to hug the rebel ninjutsu and twisted his hands.
It was now!
Mai clutched her injured left arm as a smile finally appeared on her face.
She had been waiting for this moment. The moment Naruto restrained the renegade ninja, she moved quickly and arrived in front of the renegade ninja in the blink of an eye. Her petite but vigorous figure leaped up.
Wooden Leaf Whirlwind!
The young girl stretched out her slender legs and did a beautiful side flip. With a terrifying fire-attribute chakra aura, she ruthlessly kicked towards the head of the Renegade.
"Not good!"
Sensing the terrifying aura, the Renegade panicked.
However, it was already too late. The four or five Naruto's next to him had firmly clamped his hands, making it impossible for him to use the Substitute Technique or the Water Clone Technique.
"Boom!"
Mai's whip kick hit the Renin's body as expected, causing a loud explosion.
"Ah!"
The Renegade kept screaming. The fire-type chakra that remained on his body instantly turned into a raging fire under that attack. Starting from his clothes, it burned bit by bit, and soon, he was in a sea of fire.
A moment later, the burning Renin fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
Mai finally heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party was dead. The intense fatigue from overexerting the chakra assaulted her, and she fell to the ground with a thud. Her fair right hand subconsciously wiped the sweat from her forehead.
It was finally over. It really wasn't easy…
Mai let out a long sigh.
"That's great! Mai, we won!”Naruto said happily.
"Yes! We won!" Mai said with a smile as she wiped the sweat off her forehead.
Yes, she had planned it out just now. She had to rely on Naruto's help.
It was obvious that the other party had the strength of a chuunin or above. It would be difficult for her to kill him alone. Therefore, she could only rely on Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique to temporarily subdue the other party's body to prevent him from using ninjutsu to escape. Then, she would use the wooden leaf whirlwind with the fire attribute chakra to finally kill him.
Mai's fire-type Woodleaf Whirlwind had once been evaluated by her to be powerful enough to kill an average Chuunin, or even a portion of a Jounin.
This was because most Chuunins did not have the ability to control the chakra as precisely as she did. They were unable to attach the chakra to the body part that was about to be attacked in time. Once the fire chakra on the leg was successfully attached to the other party's body, it would cause an ultra-high temperature to burn rapidly, and then announce the other party's defeat.
It could also be considered a mental upgrade.
Mai's mind went into a trance for a moment as she looked at her charred corpse.
This was her first time killing someone…Was it disgusting? Was it uncomfortable? Maybe a little.
But so what? If she didn't kill others, others would kill her. This was the most direct and profound truth that Mai had learned from her experience this time.
And most importantly…
Mai turned to look at Naruto, who was excited about his victory.
The girl's cute and beautiful face revealed a rare gentleness that came from the bottom of her heart.
Who asked her to acknowledge a younger brother?
