Chapter 52: It Was Actually Onoki
The Earth Flow Spears weakened. There was a chance; he could risk a head-on clash.
Using the Water Encampment Wall to block his opponent's line of sight, Yako formed the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique.
The Iwa Jonin already knew that the Anbu known as Fox could travel underground, meaning techniques like Earth Release: Shadow Image in the Soil would hardly be effective.
Therefore, Yako prepared a pincer assault with his shadow clone.
As the Water Encampment Wall fell, the two Yakos darted left and right.
One leapt high into the air, slashing downward with his ninja sword.
The other took a wide arc, sweeping his blade horizontally at the Iwa Jonin's exposed ribs.
The Iwa Jonin glanced from the airborne figure to the runner and judged that the reckless airborne figure was a shadow clone feigning an attack, while the one on the ground was the real body.
Fox had mastered Earth Replacement, an absurdly effective evasion jutsu, but it required direct physical contact with the ground to cast.
