The reason the Ino–Shika–Chō is a classic Ninja combination is primarily because the secret techniques of the three Families complement each other.
The Akimichi Family's Secret Technique: Partial Expansion Jutsu.
The effect of this Secret Technique is to consume a large amount of Chakra to temporarily expand part or all of the body, greatly enhancing one's strength.
The Nara Family's Secret Technique: Shadow Technique.
The main function of this Secret Technique is to restrain and control enemies. Although it seems limited in function, when combined with shadow deformation, changes in light sources, and quick thinking, the Shadow Technique can achieve myriad effects.
The Yamanaka Family's Secret Technique: Mind Transfer Jutsu.
This Secret Technique uses the Soul to focus the mind into a single point, releasing one's Mental Energy to seize and manipulate the opponent's body. Success immediately determines the victor.
However, once this Jutsu succeeds, the user's original body falls into a'sleep' state and requires protection.
The Ino–Shika–Chō combination first uses the Mind Transfer Jutsu to control the enemy, followed immediately by the Shadow Restraint Technique, and finally finishes with an attack using Partial Expansion Jutsu.
This combined attack pattern is highly effective against solitary enemies.
Since Sasuke was flying in the sky, Ino had trouble aiming due to his mobility, as the spirit released by the Mind Transfer Jutsu can only travel in a straight line.
Now that Sasuke had landed and was entangled by so many 'tool Ninja,' Ino could successfully use the Jutsu.
This was why Shikamaru felt they were guaranteed to win.
"Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
After dodging Choji's Human Bullet Tank and just as he was about to enter the group of novices to start 'mowing down enemies,' Sasuke suddenly felt he had lost control of his body.
'My consciousness is clear, but I can't control my body.'
'Is this the Yamanaka Clan's Mind Transfer Jutsu?'
Sasuke knew he had been hit, but he didn't have a good countermeasure.
The most annoying thing about this Secret Technique is that its flaws are obvious, but its advantages are also outstanding.
The flaw of the Mind Transfer Jutsu is the inability to protect the user's original body.
With so many people around, Ino could safely entrust her original body to Shikamaru and the others for protection.
She only needed to properly manipulate Sasuke's body and choose to'surrender.'
"Alright, success."
Seeing Ino's original body collapse, Shikamaru smiled slightly. Now he just needed to use the Shadow Restraint Technique on Sasuke, and the battle would be won.
However, while Shikamaru and the others knew Sasuke had been 'ambushed' by Ino, the other tool Ninja did not.
Seeing Sasuke standing foolishly still, they all began tentatively attacking him.
Ino had chosen the martial arts movement skill Flickering Shadow Step, which is suitable for small-range shifts. Initially, she was able to control Sasuke's body well enough to evade these Ninja attacks.
But after a short while, these Ninja realized that 'Sasuke' was not fighting back, so they all grew bolder and began swarming 'Sasuke.'
At this point, the effectiveness of the Flickering Shadow Step was greatly reduced. Numerous Ninja surrounded 'Sasuke,' leaving her no room to dodge.
In an instant, 'Sasuke' was repeatedly struck by these people.
As mentioned before, the advantages of the Secret Technique are outstanding, but its flaws are also obvious.
With the Mind Transfer Jutsu, besides being unable to effectively protect the user's original body, if the person possessed is attacked, the user's original body will also suffer injury.
"Stop attacking, he is already under our control."
Ino's original body being injured made Shikamaru anxious, and he quickly told the others to stop attacking.
But why would these people listen to Shikamaru?
They allowed Shikamaru to temporarily act as the 'leader' because he was a Konoha Ninja, and Sasuke was also a Konoha Ninja.
Now that 'Sasuke' was about to be defeated by them, how could they possibly listen to Shikamaru?
"Damn it, Choji, break them up."
There was nothing else he could do. Shikamaru's Shadow Restraint Technique was currently underdeveloped and could only affect one person. With so many people here, he couldn't stop them by himself.
Fortunately, the team had a 'dedicated fighter.'
"Understood, Human Bullet Tank."
Hearing Shikamaru's instruction, Choji used the Human Bullet Tank again, 'driving' toward the people surrounding 'Sasuke' to force them back.
"Don't even think about it."
Choji's Human Bullet Tank was undoubtedly a very powerful form among this group of Genin.
Most people would step aside upon seeing Choji in this state.
But Zaku, who held a grudge against Sasuke, happened not to fear Choji.
Seeing Choji 'rolling' toward him, Zaku extended his left arm, revealing the Air Tubes in his palm.
"Slicing Air Extreme Wave."
100% air pressure and 100% ultrasonic waves erupted from the Air Tubes in his hand, immediately knocking Choji unconscious.
"Choji~"
Choji's unconsciousness caused Shikamaru to lose his ability to control the overall situation, making him panic.
Not only was Shikamaru panicking, but Sakura, who was being held back nearby, was also anxious.
"Wind Curse!"
"Flame Curse!"
"Lightning Curse!"
Seeing that Shikamaru had lost control of the situation, Sakura no longer cared if this was the 'opportunity' Sasuke wanted.
Now, she was going to start killing people.
"Waaah~!"
"Help!"
These people never expected that Sakura, who had been hiding behind Sasuke yesterday and was currently being held back by them, would be so powerful when she erupted.
She used one Ninjutsu after another, recklessly, as if they cost nothing.
In the blink of an eye, some of these people were dead, and others were injured.
Sakura had gone berserk, and the situation instantly reversed.
"A rabble is just a rabble."
Shikamaru sighed.
His original intention was just to make Sasuke yield, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
Since the situation was already irreversible, there was no need to salvage it.
"Ino, return!"
Ino had wanted to return to her original body for a long time; she couldn't stand constantly being beaten, especially since she was possessing Sasuke's body.
If she hadn't been afraid of ruining Shikamaru's original plan, she would have returned to her own body ages ago.
Hearing Shikamaru tell her to return now, Ino didn't delay for a second. She relaxed her spirit and instantly returned to her original body.
At that very moment, Sasuke, who had been 'watching coldly from the sidelines,' regained control of his body.
"A bunch of trash."
"Since you seek death, I shall grant it to you."
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Sasuke looked at these people, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.
Originally, Sasuke didn't want to kill these people.
Who knew these guys would push their luck?
Especially that person named Zaku—he must die.
"Sakura, Guanyin Spell."
"Understood, Sasuke."
At this point, after killing about ten Genin, Sakura's Chakra consumption was somewhat excessive.
However, upon hearing Sasuke's call, she didn't hesitate for a moment and 'healed' Sasuke with a blast.
After being 'healed,' Sasuke immediately felt much better.
Forcing these people back with several consecutive sword strikes, Sasuke jumped out of the encirclement and immediately used his ultimate technique.
"Myriad Sword Art!"
"This is bad, Ino, let's retreat quickly."
Watching Sasuke's Flying Sword multiply—one turning into two, two into four, four into eight... Shikamaru and Ino both felt a deep sense of dread.
The three members of Ino–Shika–Chō were located behind this group. If Sasuke's Myriad Sword Art was poorly controlled and they were accidentally injured or killed, who could they complain to?
Thinking of this, the two quickly dragged the still-unconscious Choji and sprinted over to Sakura's side.
Surely Sasuke wouldn't be so insane as to attack Sakura too.
