Chapter 87: Tenten’s First Battle Against Ino-Shika-Cho
"Maintain formation! Choji, main defense! Ino, sneak attack! I’ll support!" Shikamaru quickly laid out the strategy, and Ino and Choji followed his lead, charging straight at Tenten.
"Hmm, interesting. Looks like these kids can take a beating!" Tenten cracked her knuckles before dashing forward to meet them.
"Take this—Meat Tank Impact!"
Choji spread his arms wide and rushed to tackle Tenten.
Hearing his shout, Tenten hesitated for a moment, but when she saw he was just going for a body slam, she smirked. When it came to taijutsu, she was leagues ahead.
"Soft Fist Style: Slapping Barrage!" Tenten, playing along, gave her attack a name.
Her hands struck Choji’s body in rapid succession—one hit, two hits, three hits, four hits...
Each iron-hard slap left bright red handprints on his skin, and soon his arms trembled uncontrollably, robbed of strength.
"What a vicious woman!" Shikamaru muttered under his breath—only to freeze as Tenten turned and flashed him a sweet smile.
’Oh no!’
Alarms blared in his mind, but it was too late. Tenten’s palms were already upon him, mercilessly battering him until he joined Choji on the ground.
