A Fei is very strong. If Shui Mu confronts him head-on, he has no chance of winning. However, the other clones of White Zetsu, apart from the advantage of strong vitality, actually don't have many good attack methods. Of course, White Zetsu clones are still much stronger than most ninjas. The huge advantage of the first generation cells makes them much stronger than most ninjas in terms of overall quality.
In fact, what Shuimu couldn't handle was the absolute power of Ah Fei's wooden man technique. If he didn't use this, Shuimu could still hold on. Number advantage? Cutting technique? Although this kind of thing is troublesome, it happens not to be the type that Shuimu fears. It is better to say that as long as Shuimu is prepared and his strength is not at the level of crushing, Shuimu is not that afraid.
"At present, it seems that the members of the Akatsuki organization are wary of high-power, large-scale attack ninjutsu. As long as I prevent A Fei from using the wooden man technique and wait for others to arrive, my mission will be completed."
That being said, the degree is really hard to grasp. One has to make A Fei feel that he can win without revealing his trump card, and at the same time, he has to delay time as much as possible. The difficulty of this operation depends on Shuimu's on-the-spot performance.
"Teacher Mizuki, there are so many people. What should we do?" Uchiha Sasuke asked nervously as he looked at the figure that suddenly appeared.
"Don't worry..." Mizuki took out a kunai and threw it, shooting through the head of the White Zetsu clone pretending to be Iruka, then said to Sasuke and Naruto, "Do as I told you just now, especially Naruto, don't be distracted..."
Don't worry too much before A Fei uses all his strength. How to maintain the advantage in the battle without forcing the opponent to take risks and use big moves is the most important thing. The goal of the Akatsuki organization is to capture the Nine-Tails. If the Jinchūriki is killed and the Nine-Tails is dragged to death, and the nine tailed beasts cannot be gathered within a few years, then the blow to the Akatsuki organization is too great. Although they can wait for three years, it will be much more difficult to take action three years later if part of the organization's intelligence is exposed.
After instructing Naruto and Sasuke on what to do, Mizuki began to face the attacks of a bunch of White Zetsu clones. With Uzumaki Naruto as a huge chakra source, many wartime methods that previously required a large amount of chakra to use can now be tried. Although there is indeed a disadvantage in absolute strength, he is fighting at home, with the help of barriers and sealing techniques, and the opponent does not even have the strength to break through cleverness with force unless he uses the Woodman Technique. Therefore, Mizuki is not without any chance at all. It is better to say that this is a good opportunity to test his conventional combat power...
"You need to control your body's condition and avoid getting hurt too badly. Your chakra is sufficient and your body is fine. Very good..."
This time, Shui Mutou did not take out his "cleaver" and fight like he did in the previous battles. This kind of "one against ten" battle, to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, without Naruto's monster-like physical strength, is simply courting death.
The change of tactics stems from the difference in enemies, and more importantly, depends on the improvement of strength. If Mizuki faced the scene in Wave Country with his current strength, he would never be seriously injured and unconscious, and then recuperate for nearly a month. But the enemies he faced were indeed more terrifying than each other. The "guidance battle" to teach Sakura was not worth mentioning, and the "practice battle" with Sasuke and Naruto in the Forest of Death was just a joke. Among others, Kabuto Yakushi was already a relatively normal enemy he had encountered, and Mizuki had to cheat to barely draw. How should the others be compared? Orochimaru scared his own fake Jinchūriki clone in the Forest of Death, so much so that he threw away his ultimate move and ran away, for fear of leaking information.
As for the Chunin Exam, Orochimaru, who was at the end of his strength, was so scared that he became a turtle. What enemy would he face next? Scorpion? Deidara? Uchiha Itachi? Hoshigaki Kisame? How could he not even encounter a leveling minion, and directly come to the elite monster? Less than three years later, the combat power had climbed to a level that Mizuki's growth rate could not keep up with.
Fortunately, this time facing the White Zetsu clone team, except for Ah Fei, everyone else could barely deal with it. Although the existence of the White Zetsu clone was very strange, its combat power was indeed within the range that could be handled.
Looking at the White Zetsu clones that were surrounding him, Shuimu activated the barrier, and then saw several of Shuimu's clones gradually appearing from nothing. These clones quickly took shape, and then approached the nearest White Zetsu clone and began to fight with each other.
"Eh, this kind of barrier effect?" An expressionless clone of Shuimu appeared in front of Ah Fei. While dealing with the attacks of these puppet clones, he identified the type of barrier. "This can't be achieved by an illusion effect, and it doesn't look like an ordinary physical clone. What on earth is this?"
"Feel it with your own body and death, and maybe you will understand..."
Without the advantage in numbers, the White Zetsu clone's advantage was mostly eliminated, and then delaying the battle was actually beneficial to Mizuki.
The White Zetsu clones were often able to crush Mizuki's clones head-on with their physical advantages, but Mizuki's clones behaved like illusions. Even if they were hit in the vitals, they could recover quickly in some way and continue fighting. This method was similar to the physical clones, and even to a certain extent, the clones were immortal, so the White Zetsu clones could not break through the defense at all.
Shuimu watched the first trap go smoothly and nodded with satisfaction. This was a result of research to deal with small-scale, low-intensity human wave tactics. In fact, it was a trap set for possible team conflicts when the number of people was at a disadvantage. However, he did not expect that he had always been facing masters with superior individual strength, so he had never used it. But today he could try its effect.
The original inspiration for this trap came from the Mirror Raider Technique, which was the technique in which Might Guy's team fought against clones that looked exactly like themselves when they rescued Gaara. Of course, Mizuki didn't find a way to make clones that looked exactly like the enemy, but if he couldn't make clones of the enemy, he could make his own. The biggest advantage of using the barrier technique to make such a trap is that you can use your own or even other people's chakra collected in the barrier, which greatly saves the consumption of chakra in battle.
If this is just a barrier version similar to the Shadow Clone Technique, it is not worth Mizuki's time to study it. The key is the limited immortality of the clone. The principle of realization comes from the simulation of the water transformation secret technique of Hozuki Suigetsu. As for how to turn the body into water and then restore it to flesh and blood, Mizuki has no idea yet. But if we make a barrier version of the Shadow Clone Technique, using the concept that the shadow clone is a collection of chakra, and transform the shadow clone into chakra, and then restore it to part of the clone, is it possible?
After Mizuki's research, the conclusion is that it is completely possible. Although Mizuki is not sure for the time being why the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama created the magical ninjutsu of Shadow Clone Technique, and what principle it uses to achieve such a magical effect of transferring memories and experience. However, it does not prevent Mizuki from studying the functions that this technique can produce. You may not understand the principle for the time being, but being able to use it flexibly is also good.
Just like Mizuki can flexibly configure the amount of chakra in the shadow clone, instead of automatically distributing it evenly. He even created a miraculous clone of the fake Jinchūriki based on the characteristics of the shadow clone, combining sealing techniques and the body of the self-clone.
In Mizuki's opinion, the value of the magical treasure trove of Shadow Clone is far from being fully explored. Maybe it's not as intuitive as the power of other techniques invented by the second generation, not as magical as the Impure World Reincarnation, nor as famous as the Flying Thunder God Technique, but there are still many things worth exploring.
Just like the problem of the immortality of the clone, it is not difficult to solve. It depends on the conditions and difficulty of implementation. Why does the shadow clone disappear when attacked? The clone simulated by the chakra aggregate has no external or internal support and is in an extremely unstable state. In addition, the natural dissipation of chakra means that the shadow clone technique, even if it is not broken up by an attack, will not last long.
In principle, it is impossible to avoid disappearing when attacked, but it is possible to make it impossible for the enemy to attack. Just like the Scorpion of the Red Sand, isn't it hiding in the Scarlet Flow Amber? Even if the puppet outside is destroyed, just replace it with another one.
The solution that Mizuki came up with was to make a miniature shadow clone with a small amount of chakra, and then wrap it with a layer of chakra shell. Use the miniature hidden clone inside to control the shell to fight. The shell is destroyed, that is, the surface chakra is dissipated. It is too easy to find a way to replenish it in the barrier environment. The amount of core chakra in the inner layer is tiny, and even if a lot is made, the consumption is not too large. It’s just that the chakra consumption of the barrier itself will be relatively large. However, for the human wave tactics, such consumption is also an unavoidable problem. Therefore, in maintaining the barrier to resist the human wave tactics, the importance of Uzumaki Naruto is highlighted. Mizuki uses the barrier to make miniature shadow clones, and uses a method similar to puppetry to control the hidden clone shell made of chakra provided by Naruto.
The combat method in which Mizuki focuses on the battle, but lets Naruto bear most of the chakra consumption, is more in line with the current situation.
"Sasuke, do you see that person wearing a one-eyed whirlpool mask over there?" Mizuki arranged illusions and barriers, and fine-tuned the battle situation locally. "Pay attention to that person. If that person approaches, don't hesitate, open your Sharingan, and then take Naruto and hide..."
If A Fei breaks through the defense line, it will not be of much help for Naruto to just sit there. Besides, the chakra he has stored for so long is almost enough to maintain the barrier until help arrives.
After instructing Sasuke, Mizuki said to Naruto, "If the reinforcements don't arrive and the enemy uses an unstoppable ninjutsu, summon Gamabunta quickly and control the amount of chakra. If you can't summon Gamabunta when the crisis comes..."
"What will happen?" Naruto had no intention of complaining to Mizuki who was keeping it a secret. The battle was in full swing. He just swallowed nervously and asked.
"Everyone near the hospital, except me, is probably going to die." Once the wooden man technique appears, without an equal fighting force, it will basically be a total annihilation. The one with the greatest chance of survival is of course Shuimu, who knows Ah Fei the best. No one can grasp the timing better than himself, how to avoid attacks and when to escape.
…
Jiraiya was panting as he looked at the four people opposite him. After such a long time, he still hadn't defeated his opponents. Jiraiya felt a little overwhelmed.
"Little Jiraiya, what should we do? The enemy's tactics and coordination are too tacit..." Shima asked in embarrassment. Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo has both offensive and defensive capabilities. There is no good way to deal with it. We can only fight head-on. Juede Wood Release also came to help from time to time. Uchiha Obito's space ninjutsu that was hard to defend against made Jiraiya dare not be careless at all. There was also Hoshigaki Kisame. Although he did not attack directly, the characteristic of Samehada absorbing chakra was really not to be ignored.
"Do you want to use powerful magic?" Shennin Fukasaku was quite doubtful about this.
Although Jiraiya had just used the Sage Mode, which greatly increased his strength, speed, chakra and recovery speed, he had not used many Sage Modes on the enemy because they were in Konoha Village, as they were too destructive. But now it seemed that even the Sage Mode would not be able to defeat the enemy without some effort.
"The power of the Immortal Technique - Goemon is too great and difficult to control, and the Toad Singing is a large-scale illusion, which is too easy to cause accidental injuries. These two should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary." Jiraiya shook his head, "So there are not many choices."
"Okay, then we'll cooperate with you."
"Well, let's start." Having made up his mind, Jiraiya no longer hesitated. Even though it might be a little inappropriate, he had to use it now.
"Immortal method, earth escape, underworld."
As Jiraiya used his magic, the land under Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo suddenly turned into a muddy swamp, and its range was also very large. The other three people affected quickly dodged, but the Susanoo, which was less flexible and was hit directly, was not so lucky. Its huge body sank directly into the deep mud. The Susanoo, whose movement was restricted, could no longer effectively block Gamahiro's attack. Its rapidly flying double swords kept slashing at the Susanoo who was swinging his sword in vain to resist. The originally relatively intact orange-red body of the war god was cut off by pieces of sword light, and it seemed that it could not maintain its basic shape and combat effectiveness.
