It was obvious to everyone that dueling at a distance with bottomless chakra barrels would not be good for us at all, and it was best to use close combat, despite the obvious danger of such a move with a pseudo jinchuriki.
- The biju's chakra cover will be a nuisance," the sannin frowned, "I'm still not proficient in Kongo Fusa: Goriate no Kouchikubutsu (Adamant Sealing Chains: Goliath Construct) at a sufficient level to go for a direct clash in taijutsu.
I clucked my tongue annoyingly - apparently Orochimaru hadn't yet found his sword to confidently pierce the biju's cover of power as indicated in my notes - and unsealed the katana's scabbard, tossing it to my colleague.
- Uzumaki's work, tested against a real jinchuriki," he explained to the shinobi's questioning eyebrows, "and I have a Samehada that can eat a couple of loose tails in a few blows.
- Thank you," the sannin nodded briefly, checking the weapon as it came out of its sheath, "that won't be unnecessary at all.
- Hyuga-san, stay here and in case the situation changes, immediately inform my clones," I turned to the kunoichi, creating three kage bunshins with a supply of chunin, "also you will be alerted to retreat if the situation becomes too dangerous and we are tried to be squeezed.
Clearly, fighting a team of two S-ranks, we won't have time for tight control of our surroundings.
- Will do, Nara-dono," the jonin bowed slightly.
Nodding in response, I pulled out the four necessary fuin from my belt pouch and gave half to Orochimaru. We quickly slapped the pieces of paper onto our clothes and clasped the others in our hands, activating them with a pulse of chakra.
At the same moment, I began to sense the surrounding area even more clearly - the seal wasn't just duplicating the work, but increasing the sensitivity of the natural talent. Also, the sensory fuin did not conflict with the barrier that had formed around our bodies.
Having clarified in Hyuga on what trajectory we should follow to intercept the enemies, at the current speed, we in a couple of jumps left behind the kunoichi and rushed forward. I gradually increased my keirakukei circulation speed and chakra saturation, so that when the battle started, I would be at the peak of my abilities - given the brothers' bijudame throwing, they were already at that level.
