Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 340: Butterfly Transformation

The difficulty of rescuing someone from the vast Sand Village and then fighting their way out was not small.

She spoke a few more words to Temari alone. Of course, Temari wanted to save her brother. Even if she gained the reputation of a village traitor for it, she didn't care. What's more, it might not have reached the point of treason yet; she also had a Sand elder on her side.

"Alright, let's save Kankurō first, then leave the Sand Village together," Ino made the final decision.

Shikamaru stepped forward and said, "This was my idea. I'll go with you."

Ino shook her head. "Your abilities are not suitable for charging into the fray. Let Temari lead the way, and Choji and I will go save him."

Hearing that he had a task in this, Choji's expression turned serious. He pursed his lips and nodded heavily.

Shikamaru was such a smart person. He immediately realized that he had been neglecting his best friend's feelings lately. It was clearly a three-person operation, but many times he had been excluding Choji. He had really been overwhelmed lately.

He immediately tried to make amends. "...When it comes to charging into battle, Choji is indeed more suitable than me. My combat ability is just a drag. In that case, I'll…"

Ino gestured with her chin towards "Gaara's harem" behind him, meaning that these half-grown lolis were his mission.

Looking at the group of girls with various expressions and charms, Shikamaru was dumbfounded.

Choji also chuckled and patted his friend's shoulder. Afraid of trouble? Afraid of trouble with women? All the women here are your responsibility! Not many, just a hundred or so!

Shikamaru alone certainly couldn't command these girls. Miss Maki appeared at the right time. Her sealing jutsu was unique in the Sand Village, but her personal combat ability was average.

A Jounin in the Sand Village was not the same as a Jounin in Konoha. Their Jounin were more like Konoha's Tokubetsu Jōnin.

Temari asked Miss Maki to assist Shikamaru in escorting these supporters and Elder Ryūsa, who had fallen into a deep sleep after being detoxified, out of the village.

Miss Maki accepted the mission.

As Pakura's disciple, she was twenty-six years old this year and had enough prestige to keep those half-grown lolis in line.

Shikamaru and Miss Maki left first with the main group.

Ino, Choji, and Temari escorted them for a while, then turned around to find Kankurō.

At this time, the Sand Village was ablaze, and screams rose and fell. From time to time, Sand ninjas could be seen throwing kunai and explosive tags at the "madmen," but lacking command, their counterattacks seemed very weak.

The "madmen's" intelligence was improving rapidly. Apart from the taijutsu that had become muscle memory, two "madmen" had already begun to clumsily form hand seals and release ninjutsu.

Not long after Ino and the others left the stone house, they were surrounded by a dense crowd of "madmen."

They forcefully fought their way into the village, quickly carving out a bloody path.

Kankurō was trapped in the Puppet Brigade by Elder Kōsa. They needed to cross the entire Sand Village.

Normally, they could get by with the Transformation Jutsu, but now the village was full of "madmen," so they had to charge through.

"All of you stand behind me! I will protect you!" Choji said with great determination.

And who are you?

Temari really didn't think much of Choji's strength. In her opinion, Ino might be a tiny bit stronger than her, she admitted that, but the fat boy? You should just go wherever it's cool.

"Don't try to be a hero, let's hurry…" Her words were cut short as Ino pulled her back.

"Watch Choji. Today is the day he becomes a butterfly."

Becomes what? Temari was at a loss, but then she saw a strange scene.

She saw Choji taking deep breaths in and out, his chest vibrating wildly. With each breath, his body became a bit thinner. His eyes, which had been squeezed into a line by the fat on his face, now revealed a sharp glint. A vast and dense chakra transformed into light blue wings, dancing on his back, looking like a giant colorful butterfly.

Although Temari wasn't a "face-con," she liked handsome guys. At this moment, she was stunned!

Without that layer of fat, the current Choji looked… looked very handsome! In terms of handsomeness alone, the slimmed-down Choji was not much worse than Sasuke.

Is this the mascot-like fat pig from before?

"I'm going in! Stay close to me!" Without the fat on his neck, the slimmed-down Choji's voice even became clearer.

After knowing him for so many years, this was the first time Ino had seen Choji "transform." Shira's breathing method indeed had its unique points. By vibrating the chakra pathways and maintaining a level of about "three breaths," it actually produced an effect similar to the chili pepper pill. Moreover, compared to the chili pepper pill, this breathing method's enhancement effect was greater, and its duration was longer.

Choji charged ahead, breaking through all obstacles. The obstructions along the way, whether living or dead, could not withstand a single blow from him.

"Die!" Two Sand ninjas jumped out from the shadows. The kunai in their hands were like two poisonous snakes, one stabbing at Choji's throat, the other at his heart.

Their ruthless moves were like slow motion in Choji's eyes.

He grabbed one Sand ninja's leg and, like a human weapon, smashed him into the other ninja's chest. The two spat out blood and fainted without a sound.

Those fearless "madmen" also surrounded them from all directions.

A tall, thin man stood in the shadows. This was another of Sasori's subordinates in the Sand Village besides Yūra, the Jounin Mukade.

This Jounin had now changed drastically.

He had an extra head with suture marks next to his neck, his chest showed signs of becoming a human puppet, and where his heart should have been, there were three hearts. Under his left and right ribs were two puppetized arms.

As he let out a series of whistles, the "madmen" began to charge forward one after another.

Choji shattered a "madman's" face with an elbow, then grabbed the "madman's" shoulders with both hands and, like using a sledgehammer, turned the person around, head down, and smashed him hard onto the ground. The huge vibration caused all the "madmen" within a ten-meter radius to fall. He rushed over, punching and kicking, to finish off these enemies, then, while maintaining his breathing method, he punched at the watching Mukade.

Ino and Temari followed behind.

"Jounin Mukade?!" Seeing the greatly changed Mukade, Temari finally understood what the moderate elder Ryūsa meant by "all gone mad." This wasn't just mad; this was no longer human, right? If Mukade had become this monstrous, then what about Yūra?

Choji wanted to quickly finish off Mukade, but facing a Sand Village Jounin, and a Jounin who had been recklessly modified by Sasori, he also needed time.

The butterfly mode was not invincible.

"You guys go first! I'll deal with this guy!" he roared, attracting more "madmen" to besiege him.

There was no way Ino could let him stay here to cover the rear. Whether Kankurō was saved or not was not important; Choji absolutely could not fall here.

"Cut the crap, let's go together!"
