Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 304: Attacking Indiscriminately?

Seeing Fujin attacking him again, Gin retreated. Fujin was about to give chase when the loud explosion sound was heard attracting everyone's attention! Seconds later, dust and smoke covered the entire area. Some debris also fell.

The Iwa ninjas took the chance to retreat and regroup as the sensors on Fujin's side were shocked. Fujin looked towards the spot of the explosion and thought, 'The chakra of all 5 of them disappeared. And what's with that massive chakra? Even Hiruzen's chakra wasn't as high as this!'

Though Fujin's first mission as the Anbu Captain had failed, he had no time to think about it. He was more concerned about the chakra that the ambusher was emitting.

Gin looked at the destruction and sighed, 'We had to resort to this. Now everyone will know that it was Iwagakure who did the attack. This will be a diplomatic disaster.'

He turned his attention towards his bleeding arm. His expression became determined as he thought, 'But that's fine. Though we will lose our influence in the Land of Grass, we found out about this fearsome Anbu from Konoha. I don't recall any powerhouse in Konoha having such skills. So he should be someone who they raised after the last Great War ended. Killing him will be far more beneficial!'

Suddenly, Gin's eyes widened and he looked in front only to see a sword heading straight at him. He instinctively moved backwards but knew that he had no chance of avoiding the attack. Having sensed a formidable foe, Fujin didn't want to leave any other trouble behind him.

Fujin's blade was just a few inches away from Gin's neck when he sensed molten rocks headed towards him. Fujin flickered backwards and fired a few Vacuum Bullets at Gin. Gin barely managed to dodge them. They created a few cuts on his body causing him to lose even more blood but none were fatal.

However, Fujin had no time to look at him. A figure rushed towards him at rapid speed. Fujin shot a few Vacuum Bullets, but he dodged them all. His fist began glowing red as he punched Fujin. Chakra began flowing along Fujin's sword as he slashed at the incoming punch.

The sword and the fist clashed creating a slight shockwave. Fujin's expression behind his mask became serious as his sword couldn't cut into the fist. The punch sent him flying backwards. He flipped in the air and landed back on the ground but was still dragged behind for a few minutes.

His eyes landed on the ninja who attacked him. He had red hair, mustache and beard. Unlike the other Iwa ninjas, he didn't bother hiding his identity. He wore a large headpiece that proudly displayed the symbol of Iwagakure.

On seeing his face, Ryoichi and the other Kusa ninjas were horrified. Even Fujin's team raised their guard to the max. Ryoichi asked in disbelief and horror, "Roshi! Why did Iwagakure send someone like you?"

Roshi ignored his question and looked at Fujin. He said, "Youngsters these days are getting even more ferocious. You forced me to take action."

Fujin cursed in his mind, 'Shit. If I knew someone like him was hiding here, I wouldn't have wasted time dealing with the rest. Though if I did that, he might have jumped in sooner. But…

Why the hell is Onoki sending his Jinchurki on a mission? It's an absolute taboo during peacetime. Even their own citizens don't trust them. Let alone citizens of other countries.'

Fujin roared, "Iwagakure! You dare send your Jinchuriki to the Land of Grass? Do you intend to start a war?"

Fujin used his chakra to amplify his voice. It was so loud that everyone in Mizukoshi heard it clearly. Though most didn't know what a 'Jinchuriki' was, knowing that the ambushers weren't rogue ninjas and instead were from Iwagakure terrified them. As for the ones who knew what a 'Jinchuriki' was, their fear knew no bounds.

Panic spread through the city. Some hid in underground safe houses in the city. A few began escaping from the city. Some officials sent messenger birds to Kusagakure without consulting or even informing Ide Tomoki.

Roshi realized Fujin's intention and said, "I'm surprised that you are still thinking about diplomacy at this point."

Fujin ignored him and instructed, "Slaughter the rest. I'll deal with Roshi."

His earlier rampage had killed 4 more Iwa ninjas including Chiharu who was the second most powerful in that group and could restrict Ryoichi. More importantly, he had gravely injured Gin. Iwagakure only had 6 ninjas along with an injured Gin. So the Anbu and Kusa ninjas shouldn't have any issue in dealing with them.

Roshi asked, "You think you can de…"

His words were cut short as Fujin flickered next to him and shot Air bullets from a close range. Roshi immediately dodged and counterattacked.

'Lava Release: Scorching Rocks Jutsu'

Roshi expelled a large amount of Lava that solidified into molten rocks. They travelled towards Fujin with tremendous force. Fujin ran straight towards the incoming molten rocks. Displaying blinding speed, he avoided all molten rocks. The molten rocks hit his afterimages and exploded on contacting the ground.

Roshi's eyes widened. He muttered, "So fast."

He slammed his hand on the ground.

'Lava Release: Volcanic Swamp jutsu'

The ground around him began turning into a swamp that had lava mixed within it. He severely restricted Fujin's movements if he wanted to close the distance.

However, instead of approaching him, Fujin jumped a long distance in the sky while building a large amount of chakra and inhaling a large amount of air.

'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'

Roshi began preparing a Fire jutsu to take advantage of the Wind jutsu but stopped mid-way as his eyes widened in surprise. He thought, 'What is he doing?'

Ryoichi had just begun fighting Gin when they both stopped and looked above. Ryoichi's eyes widened. Even Yugao, Fumito and Bunjiro were surprised and scared.

A second later, a strong wind current engulfed the entire battlefield. Enemies and allies both felt the tremendous wind flow. Even the Ide family ninjas on the opposite bank felt the massive wind current. The winds caused the river water to flood the opposite bank. They immediately retreated back into Mizukoshi and activated their protective seals.

Layers of Lava walls formed around Roshi protecting him from the winds. Several wind blades hit it every second causing it to crumble. But it reformed itself at an even faster pace.

He thought, 'Though my Fire nature should have an advantage, the Winds are so strong that everything will be reflected back to me. But, what is he planning? Does he want to kill his own allies as well? Since when did Konoha become so ruthless?'

At the same time, Gin was horrified. He thought, 'This bastard is definitely Danzo's successor. He'd kill his allies as well rather than letting any of us escape!'

A similar fear ran through the minds of the Kusa ninjas. After all, they had no idea who Fujin was and what his intentions were. Even Yugao, Fumito and Bunjiro had solemn expressions. Even though they were his subordinates, none of them had worked with him earlier or knew what missions he undertook.

Suddenly, the Iwa ninjas in front of them were attacked by wind blades. Long cuts appeared on their bodies. The Iwa ninjas dodged while the Kusa and Konoha ninjas were afraid that they too would suffer the same fate. But they soon noticed something odd.

They realized, 'The wind blades are only attacking the Iwa ninjas. Though we are facing the extreme winds as well, they don't pose much threat to us.'

Roshi noticed it as well. His eyes widened and pupils dilated. He realized, 'This level of control… His control over Yin-Yang should be excellent. This isn't a blind attack. He can perfectly control his jutsu. He wants to kill all Iwa ninjas so that they won't interfere with our fight.'

Realizing that they were safe, the Kusa and Konoha ninjas began attacking Iwa ninjas. The Iwa ninjas immediately fell into peril.

A red coating of chakra appeared around Roshi as he rapidly weaved hand signs. Chakra and lava gathered on his right fist as he punched the ground with full force.

Immediately, the lava and chakra were released into the swamps he created earlier. The ground around him raised 10 meters in height forming a miniature Volcano. The lava began gathering towards its mouth.

'Lava Release: Flower-Fruit Mountain jutsu'

The miniature volcano exploded with a loud sound! It sent a shockwave in the surrounding area nullifying the winds Fujin had created. Following the shockwave, a large amount of molten rocks was launched into the air. However, since the Iwa ninjas were also in the vicinity, Roshi controlled it to fall far away from the battlefield.

One of the molten rocks fell on Mizukoshi town. It hit the protective barrier and broke it with ease. Fortunately, it hit the wall and didn't fall in the town. The wall crumbled in an instant. The people who still hadn't hidden underground were horrified by the sight.
