Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 485 The Clever Konohamaru

"Oh hahaha ho—"

Ebisu was so burned that he jumped up and down, making a sound like Tom the cat.

Konohamaru had indeed tested the power of Fire Release: Ashes of Burning with Shadow Clones before, but he overlooked one thing.

That means he was experimenting with shadow clones.

Shadow clones explode after taking a certain amount of damage, but real people don't.

Moreover, people's physical constitutions are different from one another.

What's going on with Konohamaru?

A pure body that has not yet experienced anything.

And what about Ebisu?

An even more secretly flirtatious man than Kakashi.

An overwhelming sense of oppression.

Therefore, in the initial short period of time, Ebisu was able to withstand it.

But as the cloth burned out and the ashes and sparks crackled and popped, Ebisu couldn't take it anymore.

He originally wanted to maintain his aloof image as a mentor, but now he's rolling around on the ground.

Even more terrifying is that the Ash Burning Technique developed by Konohamaru also has an adsorption function.

The reason is that when Naruto was explaining Sage Mode, he mentioned the original version of Sage Mode used by Jiraiya.

When choosing a method to enter Sage Mode, if possible, be sure to consider entering it during battle.

Things like Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique are actually irrelevant.

This can be achieved both during and outside of combat.

As for Kakashi's Purple Lightning, if the main body uses Purple Lightning against a shadow clone, then the issues of tracking and absorption must also be considered.

Shadow clones need to dodge and escape enemy attacks; otherwise, they will be defeated by the enemy before they even touch the purple lightning, which would be a waste of chakra.

Zidian can indeed do that.

Because the precision control of the Purple Lightning is extremely high.

When it was Konohamaru's turn, he also had to ensure that his Ash Burning could follow his Shadow Clone's movements, so he added an absorption function.

Aside from the moment it's exhaled, cigarette ash and sparks will adhere to nearby objects.

Just like before, it first absorbed the cloth on Ebisu's body, and then...

"Is this teacher, Shirou, experiencing pain or joy?"

Naruto looked at Ebisu, who was lying on the ground screaming in pain, and scratched his head, unable to tell what was wrong for a moment.

"Help, help me—"

Ebisu seemed to have heard Naruto's words and managed to send out a difficult cry for help.

"Huh? Something really went wrong? You should have said so earlier, Mr. Pervert. How was I supposed to know you were in trouble if you hadn't told me?"

"Quick, quick, help me—"

"Spiritual communication!"

Naruto bit his finger, pressed it to the ground, and a yellow toad appeared in front of him. "Go, Gamabunta! Use Water Release on Pervert Teacher!"

"Frog, I can't use Water Release: Water Style, but I can spray water. Wait a minute."

The toad dragon hopped around a couple of times, jumped to the riverbank, took a deep breath of water, and turned to aim at Ebisu.

"Wait a minute!"

Kakashi quickly stepped in front of Gamabunta, "You can't use water! Water turns into steam when it comes into contact with high temperatures, and that will only burn Ebisu!"

"Is that so?"

When the toad dragon opened its mouth, the water it had just been holding spilled all over the ground.

The toad dragon tilted its head, feeling as if it had learned something new today.

"What should we do then?"

Naruto asked.

"Use the isolation method: find something that is not easily flammable and completely isolate the area covered by cigarette ash."

As Kakashi spoke, he began looking around, searching for the corresponding item.

But in this desolate wilderness, besides grass and wood, what else can provide shelter?

"Got it!"

Naruto turned his gaze to Gamabunta and was about to say that since it was useless, he should let Gamabunta return to Mount Myōboku first, when he suddenly saw several fish in the water that Gamabunta spat out.

Naruto immediately stepped forward, picked up a fish, and threw it at Ebisu.

Snapped.

Ebisu got hit.

Naruto looked somewhat embarrassed.

The accuracy of the shuriken seems a bit off.

"I understand, Naruto-nii-san, leave it to me!"

Konohamaru saw Naruto's actions, understood what Naruto meant, and also went forward, picked up a fish, and threw it at Ebisu.

"call."

Ebisu, who had been saved by the fish, finally collapsed to the ground, covered in sweat.

But the crisis was not over.

The fish simply took Ebisu's place to receive the crackling sounds.

Even after the fish is fully cooked and carbonized, Ebisu will still suffer heavy damage.

This isn't just ash from burning; it's practically Amaterasu!

Speaking of Amaterasu, there is actually another solution.

The burning of this ash is not an endless process; it only requires constantly replacing the fish. Before each fish falls off, a new fish is thrown on top to ensure Ebisu's safety.

However, as time goes on, it is inevitable that low-temperature slow baking will occur.

Fortunately, Konohamaru was indeed clever, and his battle intelligence was no less than Shikamaru's. In a short period of time, he figured out how to use the shuriken technique, hooking a steel wire onto the fish's tail.

Once it was confirmed that the ash had adhered to the fish and the grilling process began, Konohamaru pulled on the wire, and the fish, along with the ash it was sticking to, was pulled off Ebisu.

"Ah, I'm dead."

The torn-off fish was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Ebisu completely fainted.

"It's a pity that Ebisu-sensei has too little willpower and no summoning beasts, otherwise he might have mastered Sage Mode by now."

Konohamaru took a picnic blanket from his ninja tool bag and covered Ebisu with it, so that if anyone passed by later, they wouldn't really think Ebisu was a pervert.

Without Ebisu's interference, Konohamaru gave a second demonstration, which earned Kakashi's approval.

Naruto treated Konohamaru like a little brother, even teaching him Shadow Clone Jutsu and Rasengan. Naturally, he didn't forget the Toad Contract either, and generously let Konohamaru sign the contract.

In the original work, Konohamaru was one of the few ninjas, apart from those who specialized in summoning beasts, who possessed two different types of summoning beasts.

Enra of the Enma clan, and Goro of the Toad clan.

Surprisingly, the rapid growth of toads is not a common phenomenon among summoned beasts.

Yuanluo is the son of Yuanmo.

Enma is the one that Hiruzen Sarutobi had a contract with.

The ape demon whose story was taken out of context and described as "stabbing three generations to death with a sword".

As the son of Enma, Enma is not much different from Naruto's second-generation toad, even if Enma is not of the same generation.

But the result is that even though it's already the Boruto era, Enma is still a tiny, very young child.

The age of the Enma is about the same as that of the third generation.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Aruto was born after the third generation of the original series died, and Aruto retired completely and went back to stomp on people's backs, then he should be quite big.

As it turns out, Sarutobi might look a little younger than Boruto.

Of course, now that it's confirmed that Ape Luo has indeed been born, it means that the Ape Demon Clan does seem to have a different growth rate than the Toad Clan.

"Yes, that's it."

Naruto was directing Kakashi and Konohamaru.

Konohamaru was alright; on his shoulders, there was a little monkey named Sarutobi and a still-small toad named Goro.

Kakashi had eight dogs hanging directly on him.
