Shintaro didn't continue his attack on Shikaku but instead pulled out kunai and shuriken from his ninja pouch and launched them forward.
These were two large swords.
When Shikaku dodged these two attacks and was in the middle of his evasion, Shintaro once again used thin strings to pull the kunai and shuriken, making them spin and return.
The shuriken attacked Shikaku from behind, this was [Sōshuriken no Jutsu].
This is a C-rank Ninjutsu passed down through generations by the Uchiha Clan.
By simply using basic ninja tools and special wire, it can achieve an unexpected victory.
This technique originally required the insight of the Sharingan, but Shintaro had the Six Eyes, which could substitute for the Sharingan, allowing him to master this technique proficiently.
The back of Shikaku's head was pierced by the shuriken, but then he vanished, transforming into a pile of wood.
This was [Kawarimi no Jutsu], Shikaku had already run to the nearest tree to hide.
But this didn't escape Shintaro's sight, he fired all the remaining shuriken in his ninja pouch, covering a wide area where Shikaku was hiding.
This wasn't the end, he formed seals with his hands, then spat out fireballs to engulf the shuriken.
"[Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu]."
The flames enveloped many kunai, attacking Shikaku. Not only was it very powerful, but it also obstructed his view and disrupted his movements.
This technique had the deadly Fire Element at high temperatures and the cutting power of the shuriken. It could be described as a dual effect.
This was a B-rank technique from the Uchiha Clan, mastered by Jonin-level ninjas.
However, it seemed understandable for the genius ninja Shintaro to know B-rank ninjutsu after graduation.
Yet this level was still not a threat to Shikaku, who was already a Jonin.
The seemingly overwhelming attack didn't panic him at all. He formed seals with his hands, and his shadow completely separated from his body and transformed into a physical entity.
[Kagemane no Jutsu].
The shadow stood in front of Shikaku and extended forward, blocking most of the fiery shuriken attacks.
Moreover, the shadow passed through the holes in the shuriken, throwing back the original number of shuriken to attack Kurenai and the client.
"Your move is very strong, but although the shuriken enhances the ninjutsu's power, it also adds a weakness, making the original fire entity easier to counter."
Shintaro used [Doton: Doryūheki] to form an earth wall behind him, helping Kurenai block the shuriken attack. At the same time, he paid attention to Shikaku's words and sighed: "Of course, Jonin have a better understanding of ninjutsu than I do."
He realized the gap between himself and a Jonin.
At this moment, Asuma recovered from the earlier attack, and when Shikaku wasn't paying attention, he dashed forward in an instant, infusing chakra into his short sword and punching the opponent's chest.
But at that moment, his movements suddenly halted.
Asuma's face looked fierce, and he couldn't move no matter how hard he tried to break free.
'[Kagemane no Jutsu] of the Nara Clan.' Shintaro recalled the name of this technique in his mind.
After learning that the Jonin was from the Nara Clan yesterday, Shintaro and Kurenai met with Shinku to ask for information about the Nara Clan.
Both of them learned that most of the Nara Clan's secret arts relied on shadows as a medium to control the enemy.
Therefore, Shintaro had long been wary of this move, but he didn't expect Asuma to be so impulsive and fall into the trap.
In fact, Asuma might not have disregarded the Nara Clan's [Kagemane no Jutsu], but his character was still unstable.
Seeing Shikaku talking with Shintaro, he thought the other party had a weakness, so he forgot about this ninjutsu and rushed in impulsively, only to end up being controlled.
Shikaku smiled and moved his wrist, and Asuma's wrist moved uncontrollably.
"Give up struggling. With your current strength, it's no problem for me to control you for half an hour."
Shikaku punched the air several times, and Asuma's body, also holding the chakra short sword tightly, swung it forward with powerful punches.
Shikaku then infused his chakra into his fist, and Asuma could only pour his chakra into his fist, along with the chakra short sword.
After moving a few times, he got used to Asuma's body.
At this moment, Shintaro was already in front of Asuma.
[Kagemane no Jutsu] requires hand seals to be used, and if the seals are formed, its weakness becomes apparent, so Shintaro wasn't too afraid of this technique now.
That's why he dared to approach.
Shikaku controlled Asuma to launch a fierce attack, and Shintaro didn't hold any ninja tools, so he couldn't fight back at all and could only dodge repeatedly.
However, even under Shikaku's control, Asuma's strength was superior to his own.
But he still couldn't touch a hair on Shintaro. While dodging Asuma's attacks, Shintaro extended his hand to continuously strike Asuma's body.
Shikaku initially didn't care, because the pain of someone controlled by [Kagemane no Jutsu] wouldn't return to him.
It was hard for Asuma, being controlled and beaten by his teammate.
But soon Shikaku realized something was wrong. It became increasingly difficult to control [Kagemane no Jutsu], and Asuma's movements became more uncooperative.
He was very surprised, but he already understood that it was Shintaro's actions just now.
In fact, Shintaro once again applied Gentle Fist. The earlier moves were all aimed at the points where Asuma moved his chakra.
The chakra flow in Asuma's body was blocked, and Shikaku's control over Asuma was naturally hindered.
After the fight, Shintaro fully sealed the chakra in Asuma's body, cutting off the ninjutsu effect of [Kagemane no Jutsu].
Asuma suddenly fainted. Because of the continuous blows he just received from Shintaro and the fact that the chakra in his body was completely sealed, coupled with the side effects of [Kagemane no Jutsu], he instantly became weak.
Shintaro hugged Asuma, then returned to Kurenai, laying him, who was limp, on the ground, and asked Kurenai to watch over Asuma.
Seeing her nod seriously, Shintaro continued to fight Shikaku.
Shikaku said, "You're the first person I've ever seen who broke [Kagemane no Jutsu] like this. What method did you use? Can you tell me?"
Shintaro replied, "Alright, let's talk later."
Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Shikaku didn't force him, and the two continued fighting.
[Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu]!
A high-temperature fireball shot into the air, almost as big as the entire tree canopy, and seemed to be at least four or five meters in diameter.
Such a huge fireball startled him, and Shikaku was forced to retreat to the ground to avoid disaster.
The tree crown that was just hit and the vast forest behind it were all ablaze.
[Kuro Higanbana]!
Shikaku struck the ground with his hand seal, instantly causing his shadow to spread in all directions, forming a complex pattern like a lily flower.
This pattern was a taboo not to be touched. Once touched, it would control the opponent's body.
Shintaro stepped back repeatedly, complaining in his heart: '[Gōkakyū no Jutsu] is strong enough, but it can't cause any damage. Another secret shadow technique? It seems very different from the principles of ordinary ninjutsu. The Six Eyes analysis still requires time.'
His eyes emitted a crystal blue light, and the Six Eyes were in effect.
