Chapter 688: Wild u0026 Unpredictable!

[A/N: Once again, thanks for all your love and support guys. My family and I are doing much better now. The rituals are more or less done as well, and most of the relatives have left too, though a few may come to visit in the coming days. So, the release schedule could be inconsistent for a week, but I shouldn’t miss any chapters hopefully. Anyway, let’s get back to the story. Stay safe and healthy!]

When he left Kumogakure, Darui led an army of 500 ninjas along with C, Samui, Yugito and Jin. Due to Fujin’s trap and the battle, 119 ninjas had already died. The remaining 381 gathered together and hid behind a dome-shaped barrier.

Needless to say, the barrier was very strong. It could even stop Yugito. C sighed in relief and muttered, “Luckily your speculations were on point. He didn’t kill anyone. We can finally take him on without any worry.”

What Darui and the rest couldn’t calculate was that Fujin was almost tempted to kill all 381 ninjas within the barrier! Since he had been waiting here for Darui and his army, he had long left countless Flying Thunder God marks around.

While Fuinjutsu Grandmasters could sense his other seals, they couldn’t spot the Flying Thunder God marks. If they could, then Hiruzen and Danzo would have long suffered a deadly heart attack and rested in peace and left poor Orochimaru without any targets. So, Fujin wasn’t conservative in marking the area.

Needless to say, there were several marks within the barrier. Fujin could just teleport inside and kill everyone with his Wind Domain before the Kumo ninjas could even deactivate the barrier! Due to how close they were standing to each other, doing so was considerably easier than killing everyone in the bases.

Fujin muttered to himself, ‘They’re lucky that killing others doesn’t increase a person’s strength in any way. Otherwise, Ay might have had a mental breakdown. Anyway, with all of them sealed within the barrier, I won’t face any sneak attacks while fighting them.

However, taking on both Darui and Yugito with just Lightning Release is still too tough for me. I guess I’ll have a final round before leaving my name behind and setting up conditions for more such battles in the future…’

With the army safe, Darui’s group quickly moved towards Fujin. They promptly reached Fujin, who was casually standing while resting his back against a burning tree patiently waiting for them.

Darui said, “I didn’t expect you to be waiting for us.”

Fujin sighed and muttered, “Well, chasing and killing those weaklings is rather boring. Sigh, did you really have to disturb my meal?”

The Kumo ninjas were left speechless by his casual disregard for the lives of their comrades. At the same time, they felt anger. Before they could respond, Fujin said, “Oh well, the two of you did provide me with some entertainment. State your names. If you manage to make it out alive, then perhaps I’d pay this country more visits.”

Fujin casually ignored Samui, C and Jin and asked Darui and Yugito. Needless to say, it sent their anger through the roof. Yugito once again transformed into Matatabi and shouted while swinging her massive paw down at him, “Now that I no longer have to worry about others, prepare to pay with your life!”

Fujin just chuckled. He released several Lightning rays through the tip of the fingers of his right hand into the ground in front of him. The Kumo ninjas became alert for an underground Lightning attack.

However, no Lightning bolts moved towards them. Instead, Fujin moved his hand as if he were digging his hand into the ground and taking out some soil. Matatabi’s massive paw was just a dozen meters above Fujin’s head when the entire ground under their feet moved!

The Lightning underground turned the entire ground upside down, forming an intense soil current sending even Yugito in her Matatabi form backwards. The rest of the Kumo ninjas struggled as well. Matatabi’s paw fell a dozen meters in front of Fujin but hit nothing but soft soil as she slid backwards.

A sword appeared in Fujin’s hand as he flickered and appeared in front of Darui. Due to the large amount of soil, Darui couldn’t open his eyes properly. He sensed Fujin’s movement and swung his sword in front of him with his full strength.

However, Fujin’s sword hit his sword before he could completely swing it and gain momentum, putting Darui at a disadvantage. Before Fujin could push his sword further and injure him, Darui said, “Alright, my name is Darui! What’s yours?”

Fujin was surprised by his sudden enthusiasm but immediately realized what he was up to as Samui, C and Jin were moving towards him through the soil current. He chuckled and said, “I used to go by the name of Akuro,” before applying enough strength to send Darui skidding backwards in the soil.

Samui, C and Jin immediately stopped moving towards him and retreated towards Darui while a massive Fireball moved towards Fujin. Not seeing the need to confront it, Fujin merely dodged it and flickered to Matatabi’s side.

The vajra-shaped hilt of the Blade of the Thunder Spirit appeared in his right hand again while being hidden under his sleeve. He pointed it at Yugito and shot a Lightning Beam at her aiming to pierce through her chakra cloak!

As Fujin expected, the supercharged and amplified attack easily tore through her chakra cloak. However, he frowned as the Lightning Beam began deviating slightly. As it moved through the chakra cloak, it slowly diverted towards its right and eventually ended up missing Yugito completely!

Yugito immediately flung her paw at Fujin who merely retreated to avoid getting hit while thinking, ‘Impressive… The way my Lightning Beam moved is quite similar to the principles of diffraction of light. To think that she could use that cloak in such a manner. If I want to injure her, I’ll need to attack her with an attack strong enough for her chakra to not be able to do that. Regardless, her control over Matatabi’s chakra is definitely above Roshi’s control over Son Goku.’

The Kumo ninjas quickly gathered themselves in that short break. C asked, “Are you alright, Darui?”

Darui replied, “Yeah. Luckily I was able to distract him just enough.”

He sighed and wondered, “What did he go through to have such a weird fighting style? It is completely wild and unpredictable!”

Despite training in Lightning manipulation all his life and being one of the strongest users of Lightning Release in the world, Darui had never seen anyone use Lightning to dig up the ground and create an intense soil current on flat lands. To make matters worse, they had to be careful of the forest fire caused by Yugito’s earlier attack while Fujin didn’t care about it due to his cloak.

Yugito said, “Be careful. His Lightning jutsus are very strong. You won’t be able to endure them if he gets a chance to supercharge them. Focus on dodging or hiding behind me.”

Darui nodded and said seriously, “I know. It’s time to go on the offensive. Samui and I will lead. Yugito, see if you can get any opportunity to kill him while we fight. C, try to cast Genjutsu on him. Elder Jin, please keep an eye in case he uses any seals.”

Everyone nodded and immediately attacked Fujin. Fujin didn’t mind their attack plan. After all, he merely wanted some combat practice. Without the interference of the two other Elite Jounins and weaker ninjas, taking on Samui and Darui at the same time became much more manageable.

Needless to say, he was the most alert against Yugito. Even though he knew that she wouldn’t sacrifice Darui or Samui, he no longer dared to bet on it. Due to his alertness, any tactics the Kumo ninjas came up with fell short. C’s attempts didn’t have any success either as Fujin’s chakra flow was too chaotic to place him under a Genjutsu with merely his skills.

For the next half an hour, the Kumo elites continued to clash fruitlessly with Fujin. Their coordinated attacks did catch Fujin off guard a few times due to the nature of the combat, but they failed to inflict any serious injury on him as Fujin always dodged at the last moment or used his cloak to absorb most of the attack.

The Kumo ninjas, except Yugito, took varying amounts of injuries as well but no one was seriously injured either. Regardless, Fujin gained some very important experience in using Lightning Release in combat. Several new ideas also popped into his head and he couldn’t wait to train them and make them a part of his combat system.

Finally, Fujin decided, ‘Good, but it’s now getting repetitive. I need to digest my gains before challenging them again. Oh well, my clone should’ve reached Kumo by now. Time to leave…’

Fujin suddenly stepped back and swung his blade at the Kumo ninjas from a distance. A lightning chain was launched, forcing Samui and Darui to retreat. Yugito launched a Fireball to counter the Lightning chain and attack Fujin, but Fujin just flickered out of the way.

To their surprise, he didn’t continue attacking them and instead said, “Impressive but not enough. From your headbands, you fellows are from the Village Hidden in the Clouds, right? Are you the strongest in your village or are there fighters stronger than you?”

The Kumo ninja was surprised by the sudden change in Fujin once again. Being totally tired and annoyed at Fujin, Samui shouted, “Of course, there are stronger ninjas in our village. If the Raikage was here, then you’d be long dead!”

To her shock, Fujin replied, “Hmm, the Raikage, huh? Alright then, I’ll pay a visit to your village.”
