Chapter 18

He kept muttering under his breath:

"Hasn't Anko and the others arrived yet?"

At this moment, the Third was praying incessantly in his heart, hoping that Gao Ta could hold out until Anko and the others arrived.

In that case, Konoha would still have room to explain things afterward.

Otherwise, the唾沫 from several nations would likely be enough to drown all of Konoha.

At this moment, within the Forest of Death.

Sweat continuously streamed down Gao Ta's forehead, and he panted heavily with wide-open mouthfuls of air.

Judging from the current situation.

He had been right earlier when he saw this statue constantly moving toward him.

Damn it, those guys just wouldn't listen to me.

Now look, you two are dead, and I nearly died too.

Now I'm trapped here, not daring to move an inch.

Gazing at the grotesque face of the Little Peanut Statue, Gao Ta's mind raced, constantly thinking of ways to cope.

However.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Ta still couldn't come up with a good solution.

According to Gao Ta's speculation.

This thing required someone's gaze fixed upon it to stop its movements.

Once no one was looking at it.

This fellow would strike and kill.

And it killed silently.

After hesitating for a while, Gao Ta finally decided to flee this place.

In Gao Ta's opinion, as long as he ran fast enough and used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to have a clone keep watching it.

While simultaneously scattering in different directions to escape, this creature wouldn't be able to catch him, allowing him to survive successfully.

Having made up his mind, Gao Ta instantly formed hand seals, and countless shadow clones appeared around him.

Seeing this scene, the people outside the light screen exclaimed in admiration.

"Impressive, impressive! Why didn't I think of that? Facing something like this, isn't it enough to just use the Shadow Clone Jutsu and have a clone watch it?"

"This ninja from the Hidden Rain Village is quite clever; he actually came up with such a method."

"It's a good method, but who knows if it will work!"

Within the Hidden Rain Village, seeing that Gao Ta had actually guessed the characteristics of the Little Peanut Statue and even used shadow clones to deal with it.

Pain nodded in satisfaction.

"It seems Gao Ta might still survive."

In Pain's view, this Little Peanut Statue only required a person's gaze to fixate on it.

Then the Shadow Clone Jutsu was the best move.

And after Gao Ta employed this technique, he would definitely be able to survive.

Inside Konoha Village, seeing that Gao Ta had actually used the Shadow Clone Jutsu, everyone present nodded one after another.

Everyone believed.

Using a clone to stare at the statue was a very correct choice.

Even the ninja from the Hidden Rain Village kneeling on the ground perked up at this moment.

He stood up, his eyes flashing with light as he gazed at the light screen.

Since two people were already dead and responsibility had been assigned.

Then bringing back one survivor would lessen his own guilt slightly.

At this moment, the Hidden Rain Village ninja silently prayed in his heart for Gao Ta, hoping he could survive.

Within the Forest of Death.

Having summoned his shadow clones, Gao Ta let out a slight sigh of relief.

Then, exerting a little force with his legs, he quickly retreated backward.

Simultaneously, over a dozen clones surrounded the statue tightly, their gazes locked firmly upon it.

The other clones simultaneously fled in different directions.

As he fled, Gao Ta turned his head to look and, seeing that the Little Peanut Statue was not chasing him, a faint smile curled the corners of his lips.

It seems this method of mine really works.
