Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Yuya and Yuto began overseeing the task of searching for the man. They showed the sketch around the town. However, not a single person similar to the sketch was seen by anyone in the town.

Yuya went to Fujin and reported to him the state of investigation. Fujin said, "Looks like that man is a ninja. He should have used the Transformation jutsu when the servant saw him."

Yuya asked, "What do we do now?"

Fujin instructed, "It's fine. Continue the search until everyone is asked. Once it is completed, inform me. Inform me as soon as the ninjas stop the search."

Yuya was surprised by the weird command. But he nodded. His ninjas investigated until the evening before giving up. Yuya informed Fujin that the search had stopped and the ninjas would return in a couple of minutes. Fujin nodded and dismissed him.

Around 10 minutes after the ninjas returned, a chakra field covered the entire town! It was activated by Fujin, who sat at the top of the mansion.

He thought, 'I can't sense any other ninja. It looks like he is still being careful. That sucks. I was hoping that he'd drop his guard after the ninjas returned. Anyways, time to mess with him.'

In one ordinary house in the town, a man began sweating. He held his breath and didn't dare to even move a muscle. After 2 minutes, when the chakra field disappeared, he finally relaxed.

He thought, 'What a crazy bastard! Did he cover the entire town with his chakra field? Fortunately, I kept my chakra suppressed. If I had relaxed because those annoying Ninjas gave up, I'd be dead now.'

He collected himself and decided, 'It's best to not use my chakra for a while. I might not get lucky every time. But as long as I don't use my chakra, I will be safe.'

After consoling himself, he calmed down. However, his night wasn't peaceful. Throughout the night, Fujin and Fumito kept activating their chakra fields alternately. The first started to do them at an interval of 10 minutes. But then they suddenly changed the interval to 1 minute.

They followed it up by going completely random. At some point, both stopped and didn't sense any more before suddenly sensing after 3 hours! The man didn't dare to sleep in case he accidentally released some chakra during his sleep. And he didn't dare to consume a soldier pill to stay awake as that would make it difficult for him to hide his chakra.

So he had a sleepless night followed by a sleepless day and another sleepless night. However, he didn't blow up his cover. Fujin finally decided to stop as he had to leave after 6 days and the Ito family wouldn't be able to replicate such sensing skills.

During these two days, reports of missing people were sent continuously to the Ito family. However, Fujin didn't move out as those incidents took place before they arrived or just after they had arrived. So there wasn't much point in moving out. The Ito family could only send their own squads out.

After two days passed, the reports stopped coming. As they had predicted, the incidents had all stopped. For three days straight, not a single incident happened. Knowing Fujin's plan, Yuya began spreading the news that the incidents had stopped because the culprits were afraid of Konoha ninjas.

Within a day, everyone in the town and neighbouring villages knew that the Konoha ninjas were responsible for their peace. He also said that the Konoha squad will be staying in their territory until the culprits are found! That lifted the morale of the common people.

However, out of everyone's expectations, a day later, a report arrived that shocked the Ito family and everyone living in their territory! Every single person from another village had suddenly gone missing. In addition, over 25 reports of missing people were filed from all around their territory. The entire mansion was in chaos.

Fujin and his team were immediately summoned to the Meeting room. Fujin analyzed the information and said, "It looks like they have decided to confront us."

Everyone nodded. Fujin asked, "Do you have any plans?"

Yuto replied, "Our initial plan was to attack one spot with all our forces. However, the sudden attack has caused a lot of panic in the population. We will have to split up to restore calm in the public."

He pointed at the map and continued, "You guys go to the village with missing people. I have already gone to 4 of them and haven't found any clues. I will go to this village which had 5 incidents. The rest will investigate the other cases."

Fujin nodded and replied, "Alright. We will take our leave then."

Fujin didn't mind the plan. He wanted to move just with his squad in either case. The Taki ninjas would only get in their way. Yuto was the only Taki ninja with decent capabilities. The rest could barely be considered Chunins.

Yuto replied, "Good luck. I hope that you can resolve this issue in one go."

Fujin nodded and his squad left the town and began moving towards their target. Around the same time, a couple of dozen more ninjas left the town. Yuto moved in a direction opposite Fujin's squad while the others were dispersed in all directions.

Though the village where Fujin was heading wasn't close, it wasn't too far away from the town either. After 30 minutes of continuous running at the optimal speed, Fujin's squad reached the village.

The squad stayed a sufficient distance from the village and hid among the trees while observing the village. Fujin's eyes stopped glowing as he muttered, "That's strange. I'm not seeing anyone's chakra. But the village is giving me strange creeps."

Bunjiro replied, "Maybe it is because the village is empty."

Fujin replied, "No. That's not it. Be on your guard. Fumito, let's investigate the village."

Fumito nodded. Both he and Fujin activated their chakra fields. However, neither sensed anyone or anything strange. But Fujin had a frown on his face. He said, "Let's go. Everyone keep your chakra field active. Be on your guard and stay behind me. Retreat when I say so without any questions. Is that understood?"

His team nodded. They began walking towards the village. All four were actively sensing. In a minute, they appeared at the entrance of the village. Fujin stopped walking as he stared into the village with hesitation in his eyes. His team also stopped behind him and wondered whether he discovered anything.

Fujin stood for two minutes but still couldn't make sense of anything. He thought, 'My first thought is Fuinjutsu. But this doesn't feel like it. I normally understand it very well when something is hidden with the help of seals. What is th…?'

As he was thinking, his instincts warned him. Suddenly, a wide grin appeared behind his mask as he thought, 'Not bad at all. You almost had me!'

A sword appeared in his right hand and he swung it forward with all his strength as he said, "Retreat!"

In the next moment, Fujin's sword met with a hardened black fist! Yugao, Fumito and Bunjiro immediately jumped backwards. The sword cut into the fist for a few millimeters but couldn't pierce any deeper. Instead, the force of the punch overwhelmed Fujin's sword. But Fujin wasn't bothered and instead used the force of the punch to be sent flying backwards. He laughed loudly and shouted in excitement, "Very Impressive. Consider me impressed!"

Though Fujin laughed and said those words, they were only a taunt to provoke the ones hiding inside the barrier and make them come outside. He didn't want to fight on a battlefield created by the enemy. Unfortunately, no one fell for his taunt.

Fujin continued moving backwards as he built up a large amount of chakra. Hundreds of shurikens, explosion tags, kunais, spikes, earth spears and a few jutsus appeared out of thin air and came rushing at the Konoha ninjas.

'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'

Fujin released a supercharged Infinite Breakthrough jutsu at a massive speed and with dozens of wind blades and a couple of Vacuum Waves in it. The jutsu clashed with the incoming attacks!
