The battle, which was in a stalemate, was disturbed thrice in a short duration!
First, mist spread throughout the battlefield. A minute after it spread, a loud yell was heard throughout the battlefield. And a few seconds after that, a heat wave spread through the battlefield!
Fujin and his clones were engaged in an intense battle! 17 Wind clones were attacking Musa and his 8 Water clones. Musa didn't provide any openings. However, Mieko's actions disturbed him twice.
He heard the loud yell, but he didn't allow himself to be disturbed. However, the heat wave that followed surprised him once again. Though it wasn't an opening, Fujin's clones all attacked at the same moment.
16 wind clones suddenly flickered around Musa and his clones. 14 used Wind Explosion jutsu, while 2 used Great Breakthrough jutsu. Musa's water clones immediately defended.
The last wind clone was the one having a lot more chakra. He waited for the defenses to be erected and used Air Bullet jutsu just when the Defenses began to collapse! Fujin watched carefully at the situation. His hand was gripping his sword!
The Wind clone blew 6 Air bullets at the same time! Musa hid behind his clones in a hurry. 5 water clones were dispelled! Fujin's remaining wind clones immediately ganged up upon them.
Musa was in a tough spot. He made a hand sign. He wanted to use a big jutsu to try and dispel all of Fujin's clones who were so close to him. However, at that instant, he noticed Fujin flickering a few meters to his right. There was no Water clone between him and Fujin.
Fujin swung his sword from that distance! A flying slash was sent at Musa. However, Musa wasn't intimidated. Fujin had attacked in this way a dozen times but never once managed to hit him.
Musa immediately moved slightly so that the flying slash will just barely miss him. While dodging he thought, 'Since he has decided to attack, I should kill him directly!'
The flying slash just barely missed him. He began making another hand sign to complete his jutsu. However, numerous cuts suddenly appeared on Musa! Musa was shocked, 'How? I dodged it!'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe cuts kept appearing until one deep cut slashed across his neck. His blood spilled out like a fountain! During his final moments, he looked at the young shinobi in front of him. There was no expression on his face. However, in his eyes, Musa could see that everything happened as he planned.
Too much blood flowed out of him from the numerous cuts on his body. Musa closed his eyes as Fujin swung his sword once again. The flying slash severed Musa's head from his body.
Fujin looked at his fallen enemy and thought, 'If I had sent wind slashes with my sword from the beginning, I'd have got more advantages. However, he would have dodged them all. However, by making him think that I can only send a normal flying chakra slash like a Samurai, I lowered his guard.
Of course, I didn't use Senju Taijutsu, Vacuum style or Shadow Clone explosion jutsu. If this guy was an Elite Chunin, then it's safe to say that my current level is barely Jounin!'
Fujin smiled. Reaching the threshold of Jounin rank at merely 11 years old was a huge achievement!
Fujin spread his chakra field and observed. He noticed that Mieko was alone and concluded, 'Looks like that heatwave was from the jutsu Hiruzen taught her.'
He kept sensing and concluded, 'I and Mieko have won. And the guy fighting that Inuzuka is the one releasing the mist. I should finish him. Also, Mieko seems to be moving towards Hoka.'
Having decided his target, Fujin flickered. Though the mist was thick, Fujin could sense both Hotaka and Doi. Fujin made a few hand signs and moved stealthily under the cover of the mist.
Doi was attacking Hotaka. He kept moving around him and kept hitting Hotaka with Water bullet and Water Pallet jutsus. Hotaka and his dog were bleeding from a lot of places.
Fujin closed the distance until he was around 25 meters from Doi. He used his jutsu.
'Vacuum Bullet jutsu'
The air bullet with a vacuum core moved rapidly. Doi didn't hear Fujin until he heard a sound of something moving rapidly. Unfortunately, before he could react, the vacuum bullet pierced through his heart! He fell with his eyes wide open. He never imagined that the Mist he set up would be the cause of his death. And even in death, he wouldn't know who killed him!
Hotaka, who was struggling, was surprised when he heard a fall. He could smell that the person who fell was Doi. He quickly moved forward and saw a small hole in his chest. He noticed Fujin's silhouette appearing to his left.
Fujin looked at him and saw that he was bleeding. He asked, "Are you alright?"
Hotaka was embarrassed at Fujin being concerned about him. He thought, 'I was so engrossed in the fight that I didn't even notice another smell approaching us."
He replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Fujin nodded and said, "Apply first aid to yourself and him. I'll go aid others."
Without waiting for his reply, Fujin flickered into the mist. Hotaka sat down on his butt and stroked his dog. He looked at his partner and said, "Well, that was embarrassing."
His dog barked in a low voice in reply.
Fujin flickered towards Mieko and Hoka. Danjuro was in a tough spot. Hoka was a tough opponent by himself. However, he was sneak attacked by Mieko's Fire Release : Four jutsu. He dodged successfully, but that didn't make his situation any easier. Now, in addition to staying away from a Hyuga, he had to avoid looking into the Sharingan of the Uchiha!
Moreover, unlike Hoka, Mieko didn't mind a mid range battle. Though her Fire Release was restricted by Danjuro's Water Release, she could still use Fire Release : Four jutsu and her Earth release effectively.
It became very difficult for Danjuro when combined with Hoka's Earth Release and Vacuum Palm. However, he still held on.
Unfortunately, his situation would worsen even further. Fujin was watching this battle from behind a tree. On seeing an opening, Fujin made a few hand signs.
'Vacuum Bullet jutsu'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnlike against Doi, Fujin didn't have any Mist cover. In addition, Danjuro was fighting two enemies and was on a very high alert! He sensed Fujin's jutsu and immediately took evasive maneuvers.
However, Vacuum Bullet was very fast. Though Danjuro dodged, it still grazed past the side of his abdomen, leaving a 1 inch deep scar! It immediately began bleeding!
Hoka immediately took advantage of this. He targeted Danjuro's heart with a Vacuum palm attack. Mieko was a split second slower, but she attacked with shurikens too.
Danjuro already had his back against the wall while fighting just Mieko and Hoka. Fujin's sneak attack was the last straw that broke the camel's back! The injury caused by Vacuum Bullet, though not life threatening by itself, distracted him. He had to divide his attention to a third hidden enemy.
Hoka and Mieko used this exact moment to attack. Hoka's attack hit first. Though Danjuro tried moving, it was very late. The attack hit on point and made Danjuro vomit blood. Immediately, Mieko's shurikens hit his throat. He fell down, slain in battle!
With the enemy finally down, Hoka and Mieko looked where Fujin was. Hoka frowned and said, "I could have killed him myself. You two didn't need to help me."
Mieko smirked and replied, "Be faster next time."
Fujin replied, "Do you want to keep fighting this guy or do you want to fight that Jounin who sensei's clone is fighting against?"
That immediately attracted their attention. Hoka replied, "Let's go and fight him!"
Mieko was excited too. But she suggested, "We should first kill that enemy who was fighting Inuzuka Hotaka. Then only the 2 Jounins would be left."
Fujin replied, "Already took care of him before helping you guys."
Mieko got mad. She asked angrily, "That means you fought three of them?"
Fujin chuckled and replied, "Do you want to argue about it or fight that Jounin?"
Mieko snorted and answered, "Let's go fight him."
