Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 19 Post meal exercise

Sharingan!

The veins around Yukina Hinata's eyes extended to her temples, revealing her white pupils. Hirohiko Uchiha's eyes flashed scarlet as his Sharingan activated.

"How is it?" Kiba asked from behind them.

"The chakra is completely evenly distributed. It's impossible to tell which are the shadow clones and which is the main body," Yukina said.

Hirohiko nodded in agreement. Even his Sharingan couldn't discern the difference.

Kiba nodded, as this was within his expectations. He began taking off his weights, carefully placing them on the ground to avoid making any noise.

The three of them were hiding in a lush bush. As soon as Kushina announced the start of the exercise, they had jumped into the nearby bushes and wandered around before finally stopping here.

In the open space outside the bushes, groups of three Kushinas stood back to back, forming ten teams. Each team was separated by a distance of one to five meters, creating a defensive formation that monitored all directions. No matter where they appeared or which angle they attacked from, they would be intercepted by the nearest Kushina and another from the adjacent team.

Kushina's true body was among them.

This exercise wouldn't end until they encountered the real Kushina.

"Hirohiko, Yukina, we're at our strongest now, right after eating. If this drags on, it will be bad for us. Kushina has far more chakra than us—more than even an elite Jonin. No, even more than the Third Hokage. We can't afford to drag this out; we must solve it quickly," Kiba said, patting their shoulders.

The two looked back at Kiba and nodded.

"I can feel the powerful vitality of the teacher's chakra," Hirohiko said.

Yukina nodded in agreement.

Of course, the vitality of the Uzumaki Clan's chakra can even bind the Nine-Tails, Kiba thought, secretly impressed.

There weren't many descriptions of Uzumaki Kushina's combat abilities in the original work—just a little during the battle with the Nine-Tails. But at that time, due to the weakening of the seal during childbirth, the Nine-Tails broke free, and she entered a weakened state. How powerful was she at full strength?

It seemed Uzumaki Kushina's combat power was very strong—general ninjas couldn't fight her at all!

"Do you have a battle plan?" Yukina asked.

Kiba shook his head. "I haven't figured it out yet, but this seems to be an 'after-dinner exercise' for training concealment, sneak attacks, and distinguishing shadow clones from the main body."

Hearing Kiba's words, Yukina and Hirohiko looked at Kiba, seeing the clarity in his eyes as if he understood everything.

Looking at Kushina's defensive formation, they suddenly understood. This is an exercise for training sneak attacks and distinguishing clones from the main body!

Kiba saw it right away...

Hirohiko and Yukina exchanged glances, feeling a sense of peace of mind. They nodded, and Yukina was about to speak when Kiba suddenly said, "Watch out behind you!"

At the same time, Kiba turned around with a punch. Before the punch landed, the gates in his body opened quickly, and his fists collided with another.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound as the two fists met evenly.

Hirohiko and Yukina looked closer—it was Uzumaki Kushina who had jumped mid-air for a sneak attack.

Kiba blocked the punch. The two geniuses reacted quickly, each grabbing two shurikens and throwing them.

Uzumaki Kushina was surprised by Kiba's strength. As the four shurikens hit, she reacted but was already evading. The shuriken hit her, and with a "bang," she turned into a white mist and dissipated.

"A shadow clone."

This Taki Kiba is very alert and perceptive, with great strength. Hirohiko and Yukina are also good. They reacted almost instantly and made an attack judgment. The angles of their shurikens were also very tricky, showing excellent shuriken technique!

From the information of the defeated shadow clone, Uzumaki Kushina, the main body, smiled.

By now, they should have scattered!

Uzumaki Kushina believed her three genius disciples knew instinctively that when the shadow clone found them, they must not stay exposed.

At that moment, her shadow clone left the team, walked to the hiding place, pushed aside the bushes, and searched.

They need to know they're doing the right thing, Uzumaki Kushina thought.

But she didn't expect that when her shadow clone was searching, Kiba would kick it violently. Kiba rushed out and, with incredible speed, blew up another shadow clone with a punch. Another shadow clone from the team reacted and blocked Kiba's second flying kick.

At the same time, another team's shadow clones came to support, kicking Kiba back into the bushes. The two shadow clones nodded and rushed in after him.

Kiba didn't leave? Uzumaki Kushina was slightly surprised.

As she thought this, Kiba sprang out from the bushes again, followed by two shadow clones. But Kiba ignored them and ran towards the shadow clones of other teams. Kiba's speed was so fast that the two shadow clones couldn't catch up.

Can a seven-year-old really achieve this speed?

Uzumaki Kushina's slight surprise turned into astonishment after seeing Kiba's speed.

While she was surprised, Kiba had already approached three teams of shadow clones—a total of nine shadow clones. During this period, he blew up one shadow clone and wounded another, making it lose its fighting power.

What can I do!

After being amazed, Uzumaki Kushina unconsciously admired Kiba. But... too reckless!

At this time, Kiba was surrounded by nine shadow clones. There was no way forward or backward, and shadow clones flanked him on both sides.

Where are the other two? Uzumaki Kushina wondered, slightly shifting her attention.

Now, six teams of shadow clones remained. The two shadow clones chasing Kiba had been automatically added to the team in front of Uzumaki Kushina's position, in the center of the open space.

At that moment, a flash of fire erupted from the bushes, and a large fireball shot out.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

From the bushes, a distortion shot out violently.

Fireball and Distortion rushed towards two shadow clone teams respectively.

Uchiha Hirohiko, Hyuga Yukina— had joined the fray!
