Chapter 238: Chapter 236 A massive fireball spewed from Obito’s mouth

A massive fireball spewed from Obito’s mouth, the orange-red flames almost obscuring half the sky, carrying the power to incinerate everything as it slammed down toward the ground from above!

"Boom!"

The moment the fireball hit the ground, the explosion was deafening. Dozens of Naruko’s Shadow Clones were instantly engulfed in flames and dissipated into white smoke.

"Ice Release: Ice Wall Jutsu!"

Shadow Haku’s reaction was extremely fast. The moment she formed the seals, a thick ice wall rose from the ground, shielding Naruko behind it. But the power of Obito’s Great Fireball was too intense; the moment the ice wall touched the flames, it hissed and melted rapidly.

Shadow Haku alone was not enough.

Kano tossed her flute into the shadows and formed seals with both hands. She took a deep breath, concentrating Chakra in her throat, and then exhaled violently—

"Water Release: Water Trumpet!"

A thick, swirling stream of water erupted, colliding violently with the Great Fireball!

The fierce collision of water and fire created a massive amount of white steam, instantly shrouding the entire training ground. The fog was as thick as milk, with visibility less than three feet.

Shadow Haku’s figure silently blended into the water mist. Her origin from the Hidden Mist Village allowed her to merge perfectly with the fog, just like a fish returning to water.

"Where are they? Where did they all run off to?"

Naruko stumbled around in the fog. Her sensory abilities were not particularly outstanding to begin with, and in such dense fog, she was practically blind. But her recklessness kicked in again. Forget direction, just charge! She knew that Kano would definitely coordinate with her from behind.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Another puff of white smoke exploded, and dozens of Naruko’s Shadow Clones scurried around in the fog, creating a huge commotion. And Naruko’s real body took the opportunity to quietly slip out of the foggy area.

But the moment she rushed out of the fog, she froze instantly.

There, standing beside Kano, was a "Naruko," looking at her with an innocent expression.

"Why is there another me over there?"

The "Naruko" beside Kano suddenly pointed at her and let out an exaggerated gasp. "That’s not my Shadow Clone! Someone is impersonating me!"

The real Naruko’s eyes widened like copper bells, and she was so angry her head was practically smoking. "I’m the real one! Kano-chan! The one beside you is the fake!"

"Don’t listen to her!" The fake Naruko put her hands on her hips, sounding righteous. "I came here first! I’m the real one!"

Two identical Narukos were arguing incessantly right in front of Kano.

Kano pretended to be conflicted, her gaze scanning back and forth between the two, but her attention had long since pierced through the water mist, locking onto the two figures moving rapidly within—Shadow Haku was locked in combat with Obito.

That person pretending to be Naruko was Kakashi, of course.

"You two look exactly the same; I really can’t tell you apart." Kano shook her head, pretending to be distressed. She jumped down from the back of the Shadow Deer and summoned her Hunting Horn. "How about this: you both close your eyes and stand with your backs to me. I’ll hit one at random. Whoever dodges, I’ll smash."

"Fine!"

"No problem!"

Both Narukos agreed almost in unison, simultaneously closing their eyes and standing in a row with their backs to Kano.

Kano carried the Hunting Horn and strolled slowly behind them. Her gaze landed on the "Naruko" disguised by Kakashi, and a sly smile curled at the corners of her lips.

The next second, the Hunting Horn whistled through the air and smashed fiercely toward the fake Naruko!

Kakashi’s pupils contracted suddenly! A premonition of danger surged through his entire body like an electric current. He didn’t even have time to think; his body had already reacted first—he jerked backward and simultaneously dispelled the Transformation Jutsu!

"Is my luck really that bad?"

Kakashi’s voice carried a hint of helplessness, while Kano put away the Hunting Horn, her eyes curving into crescents as she smiled. "I knew you weren’t Naruko a long time ago. Naruko has a special scent; I would never mistake that."

"How come I can’t smell it?"

Kakashi subconsciously sniffed toward Naruko.

It would be a miracle if you could smell it. Kano chuckled to herself. That scent was a pheromone specifically targeted at Kano; no one else could smell it.

Even though Kakashi reacted quickly, the end of the second super-strength Hunting Horn strike still grazed his shoulder. The immense force sent him flying, and the moment his body was airborne, several shuriken whistled through the air, shot from an oblique angle!

Naruko had already rushed close at some point, her Kunai flying in her hands, and the trajectory of the shuriken was incredibly tricky!

Kakashi instantly drew his Kunai to block, the crisp sound of metal clashing ringing out incessantly. But he was still a step too slow—a shuriken accurately struck the bell hanging from his waist. The thin string snapped, and the bell fell to the ground with a crisp chime.

The moment Kakashi landed, he wanted to lean down to pick it up.

But a figure was faster than him.

Obito rushed over like lightning, stepping beside the bell. He bent down to pick it up, kicked aside Naruko, who was trying to grab the bell, and deftly hung it on his own waist. Supporting Kakashi’s body, he glared fixedly at Kano and Naruko not far away, his voice carrying a hint of ruthlessness:

"You small fry, Kakashi, you’re really useless!"

"The two of them are not simple opponents." Kakashi pushed Obito’s hand away, re-inserted his earplugs, and activated his Sharingan, the scarlet three tomoe spinning in his pupils. "We can’t hold back anymore. Sharingan fully activated; we two must coordinate. We need to drag Kano into close-quarters combat first; her ranged advantage is too great!"

Obito nodded, not wasting any more words.

The next second, both of them moved simultaneously!

Kakashi’s Body Flicker Jutsu was as fast as a ghost, rapidly flanking along the edge of the training ground; Obito, relying on the Uchiha’s powerful Fire Release, forcibly tore a gap through the group of Naruko’s Shadow Clones. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, lunged straight at Kano like two unsheathed swords!

Kano’s pupils contracted suddenly! She didn’t have time to create distance, so she could only swing the Hunting Horn, relying on her limited combat experience to barely fend off their attacks.

Shadow Haku immediately returned to defend, Ice Release Chakra condensing into ice blades in her hands. Naruko also charged over with the remaining Shadow Clones.

For a moment, the shouts of battle shook the training ground!

Kano, Naruko, and Shadow Haku faced off against Kakashi and Obito.

The sounds of Taijutsu collisions, Ninjutsu explosions, and weapon clashes intertwined, playing a heated, blood-pumping musical movement of battle.

Kano and Naruko’s Taijutsu were, after all, slightly inferior. If not for the assistance of Shadow Haku’s Ice Release, the three of them would have been defeated by the joint attack of Kakashi and Obito long ago. Yet even so, they fought more fiercely the longer it went on.

Every attack of the Hunting Horn produced a sound wave; with rhythmic swinging, a battle melody would form. Furthermore, Kano’s movements while wielding the Hunting Horn were extremely graceful, like a water sprite dancing on the surface of a lake. Even though she was wielding a heavy weapon like the Hunting Horn, it still made people feel as gentle as waves.

Kakashi was certain that he was wearing earplugs and couldn’t hear Kano’s music, yet he still felt an anomaly in his Chakra.

Seeing Kakashi’s stunned expression, Kano kindly explained.

"Ara ara, has Kakashi-sensei forgotten? Besides music, the Heavenly Ninja School also teaches dancing~"
