Instantly, various amounts of dark figures slowly started to emerge from almost every area that surrounded the group in the forest. From the trees, to the bushes to even the grass, stepping closer each time in attempt to corner the five of them.
"Well, Naruto..? You wanted a fight.." Sasuke reminded, a small smirk on his face.
Maniko sweatdropped, feeling in zero condition to fight at this moment in time. "Wish I could say the same.." He muttered. The fight didn't look to be like an easy one at all.
"What even are they?!" Sakura asked, her tone visibly disgusted.
"Clones, by the looks of it." Kabuto answered. "And, a whole lot of them."
"Tch. Like cornered rats.." One of the clones mocked.
Naruto scowled, balling has hands up into a fist as he swung for a nearing clones stomach. The impact of the blow sent the clone stumbling backwards. However, the area of the clones body that Naruto had previously punched, dissipated into a black liquid causing the blonds hand to phase right through his body.
Naruto fell to the floor due to a lack of balance, however the hole he punched into the clone soon took the form of yet another one, completely identical to all the others that surrounded them.
"I-I just touched him and he turned to mush.." Naruto explained on his hands and knees, in disbelief.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. 'What's really going on here..?" He thought, immediately activating his Sharingan. Unbeknownst to everyone else though, his curse mark seemed to activate as well, whilst doing so.
"Naruto, watch out!" Just as Naruto was distracted and soon to be attacked, Maniko threw a kunai at one of the approaching clones, slicing its hand into a black liquified goo. Some of that same liquid splashed at Maniko's face which he immediately wiped off in disgust. "ew.."
Maniko: ..(-_-')
"These definitely are not shadow clones.. They would have disappeared after Naruto hit them." Maniko explained, deep in thought.
"We're only fighting illusions.." Sasuke mustered up. "It's Genjutsu alright.."
"Genjutsu..? But how..?!" Sakura pondered.
"Sasuke's right. It could be that the real enemy is hiding somewhere else in the forest near by, launching real attacks from behind a smokescreen of illusions. They're coordinating their own movements with the clones so that we're fooled into thinking that these Gentjutsu Shinobi are the ones attacking us.." Kabuto explained.
