Naruto: The Wind Calamity
chapter-207

Right when Fujin flickered, the black lightning python also changed direction and chased after Fujin. Unfortunately, it was much faster than Fujin. Fujin thought, 'Running would be pointless.'

He concentrated chakra into his left palm and quickly charged it with Wind chakra. He stopped moving and raised his left palm. The black lightning python quickly reached him and hit his palm. Fujin was pushed behind along the ground but the chakra on his hand stopped most of the jutsu. However, some lightning still hit his palm and electrocuted him. Fortunately, Fujin had already trained in the Lightning element. He could endure those shocks without affecting his ability to fight.

Darui was surprised by Fujin's action. He thought, 'This kid is impressive. We didn't plan on participating in this fight. Unfortunately, they killed 8 and injured 12 more ninjas. Boss will be very pissed at us if we let any more die.'

After a few seconds, the lightning python ran out of chakra and lightning and collapsed. Fujin clenched his fist to crush the lighting python in his palm.

At that instant, two more Kumo ninjas arrived around Fujin. Fujin could sense a dozen more getting close. One of the two ninjas appeared in front of Fujin. He swung his sword vertically, wanting to hack Fujin into two. The other ninja appeared behind Fujin, on his right side and attacked Fujin with a sword as well.

Fujin immediately punched the sword in front of him with his left fist. The chakra he had concentrated in his palm to block the Lightning Python still existed. And due to being zapped, his fist was charged with Darui's black lightning!

At the same time, he swung the sword in his right hand to clash with the enemy's sword. Both Kumo ninjas timed their attacks perfectly. They clashed with Fujin at the same time.

Fujin's left fist hit the sword's edge. The Kumo ninja grinned expecting Fujin's fist to be split open. However, his eyes widened as he heard a cracking noise. His steel sword had cracked! In front of his eyes, he saw his sword being broken into pieces.

Fujin's fist continued moving forward and punched the ninja in his stomach. The ninja's eyes popped out as he felt the full impact of a chakra and lightning-enhanced punch. The punch wrecked his internal organs and sent him flying. He spat out a lot of blood as he flew backwards and lost consciousness.

At the same time when Fujin's fist met the sword, his sword clashed with the enemy's sword behind him. Fujin's sword cut through the enemy's sword like a hot knife cuts through butter.

At the same time that Fujin punched the enemy in front of him, his sword cut the enemy behind him in two!

A frown formed on Darui's face as he saw another one of his subordinates die. He was waving hand signs when Fujin countered his opponents.

'Lightning Release: Black Panther'

He released black lightning in the form of a Panther which reached Fujin almost instantly. Fujin had sensed Darui building up his chakra. He saw the black panther rush towards him. Having experienced the black python, Fujin didn't bother dodging. Instead, he gathered chakra in his mouth and throat.

Right when the black panther was only a few meters away from him, Fujin opened his mouth and launched his strongest jutsu.

'Wind Release: Vacuum Cannon jutsu'

The Vacuum Cannon hit the black panther head-on. Darui's eyes widened as he saw his jutsu being pierced through with utmost ease! The black panther began dissipating. Though some of it still continued towards Fujin, he dodged easily.

Darui immediately moved out of the way while observing the jutsu. The Vacuum Cannon reached his position and continued forward destroying every tree in its path!

Darui instantly recognized, 'Wind Vacuum Technique! Someone other than Danzo learnt this technique in Konoha? And it's a strong jutsu as well. No wonder my jutsu was overpowered so easily.'

Six ninjas were running towards Fujin and planning to attack him together. However, they saw the trail of destruction Fujin's jutsu left in its path and were left tongue-tied by it! They immediately stopped approaching Fujin and looked at Darui for instructions. They didn't want to be at the receiving end of such a jutsu.

Darui became very serious. He said, "Leave him to me."

He grabbed his giant sword and moved towards Fujin. Fujin moved as well such that Darui and the other Kumo ninjas were in a straight line.

'Wind Release: Air Bullet jutsu'

He fired a dozen air bullets at Darui. Darui dodged them with ease and attacked Fujin with his sword. Lightning could be seen flowing along his sword. Fujin attacked back with his sword. The metal swords produce a loud sound.

At the same time, the Kumo ninjas who were behind Darui were caught off guard. They saw a dozen air bullets heading their way and scurried out of the way! However, some were still hit. Many of them had small cuts due to the bullets. The unluckiest one had a hole in his right arm.

Fujin and Darui both flowed chakra through their swords. However, Fujin was surprised. He expected to have an advantage due to the Wind element. However, Darui had poured a lot more chakra into his sword as compared to Fujin. So his sword stayed intact. He applied force.

Though Fujin's physique was very good, Darui was much stronger than him. He was pushed back. His face became grim on realizing how outmatched he was.

In an instant, a vacuum bullet formed in his mouth and was launched at Darui. Darui noticed it and immediately got out of the way and attacked Fujin once again with his sword.

Fujin defended himself but was getting overpowered. He frowned, 'His chakra and strength are both stronger than mine. I can't engage him in head-on combat. I have to resort to short clashes and hope that one of my bullets injure him.'

Fujin used the force of Darui's sword to move away from him. Darui attacked even more aggressively. However, instead of countering him with his strength, Fujin began parrying his attacks and using air and vacuum bullets to attack Darui. Darui dodged them all, but Fujin had two goals with his attacks. He would not only aim the bullets at Darui but would also send a few towards the Kumo ninjas watching the fight.

One of the Kumo ninjas began cursing, "Damn kid! He is aiming to injure us all!'

Another said, "We should move away. He is trying to distract Darui. We will be sinners if Darui gets wounded because of us. We will disperse in different directions and surround him from a distance so that he won't be able to escape."

Everyone nodded and dispersed.

Darui relaxed when he saw his allies leave. He looked at Fujin and analyzed while fighting, 'This kid is good. Though he is weaker than me, a single mistake could cost me my life.'

Darui continued attacking with his sword, but he also began using Lightning jutsu. Fujin dodged or countered his jutsus with Wind jutsus and both entered into a fierce fight. The other Kumo ninjas kept an eye on the battle from a distance.

While Fujin was engaged in a fierce clash, Ryota and Katsumi were dominated by Samui. Even together, they weren't a match for her. To make matters worse, other Kumo ninjas joined the fight. Ryota and Katsumi's faces became grim.

Katsumi struggled to make a decision as he fought. In a minute, both he and Ryota had numerous injuries on their bodies. He sighed and said, "Ryota, escape."

Ryota was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Katsumi said, "Your Earth jutsus aren't of much help. I'll buy time by stalling them with my bugs and join you later."

Ryota knew that there was no way for Katsumi to return alive.

He wanted to argue, however, the Kumo ninjas pressed on the attack once more. Tens of thousands of bugs appeared from Katsumi's body. He shouted, "Leave!"

The bugs immediately went on the attack. Ryota unwillingly decided to make a run. Knowing what fate awaited Katsumi, he didn't dare to look back. Unfortunately, while he was running, he was suddenly attacked by shurikens. He dodged immediately. Two Kumo ninjas appeared and attacked him.

Ryota moved back and slammed his hands on the ground. A bunch of spears appeared from the ground and attacked the Kumo ninjas. However, the two ninjas used Lightning jutsus to counter his move. The three entered into a fierce fight with Ryota trying his best to escape.

Samui looked at the bugs and said, "They may be poisonous. Don't let them bite you. Hit him with Fire and Lightning jutsus."

The Kumo ninjas around her nodded and attacked from a distance. Katsumi tried his best. He used all sorts of bugs. Some were resistant to Lightning, some were incredibly poisonous. He defended himself with defensive bugs while trying to use the poisonous bugs to bite the Kumo ninjas.

However, the Kumo ninjas didn't let a single bug bite them. They bombarded Katsumi with Lightning and Fire jutsus along with explosive tags. Katsumi's bugs began dying by the thousands.

In a couple of minutes, most of his bugs died. Katsumi watched with a grim and sad face. Like Kenta was a partner for Tadashi, his bugs were a partner for him. He sighed, 'I tried a lot to escape. Unfortunately, there is no way out. I am completely surrounded. It looks like I'll be joining you soon Tadashi.'

A few seconds later, a flash of Lightning appeared in Katsumi's eyes. Samui appeared in front of him and cut his head off with one swing of her blade. Katsumi became the second Konoha ninja to die here!

However, despite his death, his bugs still kept attacking. Samui instructed, "Deal with the bugs. I'll help the others."

She left and moved towards Ryota. Ryota was still fighting the two Kumo ninjas. He had managed to escape a couple of times, but they caught up to him again.

During the fight, one of the Kumo ninjas landed a kick on Ryota's abdomen and sent him rolling. Ryota immediately got on his feet, however, he felt someone was behind him. He quickly turned around and was shocked to see Samui.

His throat dried up. His hands began shaking. He asked in a trembling voice, "Where is Katsumi?"

Samui replied in just one word, "Dead."

Ryota's mind was in disbelief and rage. However, before he could do anything he felt pain in his abdomen. He looked down to see a sword piercing out of his abdomen. One of the two ninjas he was fighting took the opportunity of his distraction and stabbed his sword into his back. Ryota heard a sadistic laugh as the ninja said, "Don't worry. All your friends and family will join you soon."

Suddenly, rage appeared on Ryota's face. He didn't speak a single word and just made the confrontation hand sign. Samui's eyes widened. She jumped back immediately while shouting, "Move away from him!"
