Naruto: The Wind Calamity
chapter-308

Fujin landed on Goro's back and shouted, "Goro, there is no time. Return and reverse summon me!"

For the first time, Fujin saw Goro nod obediently. Fujin used Goro's body to jump even higher in the sky. Immediately after Goro disappeared into a cloud of smoke.

Gin, who was underground, had sensed Son Goku's chakra. Instead of running away, he decided to move deeper into the ground. The massive explosion rocked the land. Despite being over 50 meters underground, he felt the ground around him vibrating! He quickly escaped deeper while thinking, 'Don't tell me Roshi used Tailed Beast Bomb! Shit, we are in another country!'

At the same time, the people in Mizukoshi town were all hidden in underground bunkers. Though the Ide family wasn't as generous as the Kagawa family, they had spent a lot of effort on building good bunkers as their town was very close to the border. So the people were feeling safe.

However, they suddenly heard an extremely loud explosion sound. The people were confused and scared. A few seconds later, they began feeling a vibration under their feet. Soon after, the entire bunker began shaking!

The people were horrified by the sound of the explosions and didn't want to move out. However, they were worried that they might be buried in the bunkers. So they quickly began leaving the bunkers. Fortunately, none of the bunkers crumbled due to which no deaths happened.

Unlike Gin and the people in Mizukoshi, Roshi was directly attacked by the tags. The explosions covered him in dust and smoke. However, soon, a massive amount of chakra began surging into the dust cover. As the Tailed Beast Bomb was being formed, winds began moving rapidly. The dust was blown apart and revealed his figure.

Fujin's face became solemn as he noticed, 'The explosions didn't harm him even a bit. I was hoping that the explosion from the 1st two waves destabilizes him and the explosion from the 1200 tags pushes the incomplete Tailed Beast Bomb onto him. I guess it was too much to expect.'

In a few seconds, the Tailed Beast Bomb reached its full potential and stopped growing any further. The noise generated due to the formation of the bomb disappeared. Fujin concentrated on the tailed beast bomb completely. The momentum due to jumping from Goro's body was completely lost and his body had begun falling down slowly.

Roshi looked at Fujin and muttered, "Rest in Peace."

He launched the massive Tailed Beast Bomb at Fujin.

As soon as the Tailed Bomb was launched, Fujin's bracer began glowing again. 100 Explosive tags appeared and moved towards the bomb. These were the last tags stored in his bracer. At the same time, he twisted his body in the air to face East. A large amount of Wind was blasted from his back making him fly out of the path of the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Roshi noticed Fujin's efforts but wasn't bothered by them. He shook his head and thought, 'Looks like he is still too young. Against a Tailed Beast Bomb, such efforts are pointless.'

In a moment, the Tailed Beast Bomb hit the explosive tags. Though the tags all exploded, they couldn't even slow down the bomb. The Tailed Beast Bomb reached the same altitude as Fujin and exploded!

Fujin turned his head and looked behind him. Fear coursed through his veins causing his pupils to constrict in terror as he noticed the massive explosion behind him. He thought, 'So fast! Hurry up Goro or I'll be dead!'

The Tailed Beast Bomb didn't even need a second to reach his previous location. He focused all his chakra on his back causing more intense winds to be blasted behind him. At the same time, his body was covered in the Iron Skin jutsu.

A powerful blast wave rippled through the air. It reached Fujin in the blink of an eye. It broke through the intense winds behind Fujin as if they were nonexistent and hit him. Fujin gritted his teeth as he felt an intense pain in his back. Fortunately, he suddenly disappeared from his position.

The blastwave continued expanding for kilometers in the air. The sound of the explosion was heard for several miles. The people in Mizukoshi hadn't even reached the doors of the bunkers and were still feeling the effects of the previous explosion when they heard the loud sound! They covered their ears in pain and were horrified. However, they had no other option but to leave the bunkers. No one wanted to be buried alive.

A frown formed on Roshi's face. He looked above and thought, 'That's weird. His chakra just disappeared in an instant instead of decreasing progressively. Considering his strength and that he wasn't hit directly, he shouldn't die in a moment.

Did Konoha gain a successor for the Flying Thunder God technique? But why did he take so much effort to dodge in that case?'

Due to the explosion tags and the chakra disturbance by the Tailed Beast Bomb, Roshi hadn't sensed Goro. So he wasn't aware of Fujin's plan to reverse summon himself.

Mount Muteki -

Fujin disappeared from the battlefield and appeared on Mount Muteki. A look of relief appeared on Goro's face as Fujin appeared in front of him. He was about to boast when his eyes widened.

Fujin's hardened body slammed into his face with tremendous force! Both of them slammed into the mountain creating a small cave inside the cave they were in. The sound immediately attracted the attention of other Winged Sabertooths. Ryu frowned and began flying towards the cave.

Land of Grass -

Roshi observed the skies properly to see whether he had missed anything. He maintained his form.

While he was paying attention to the sky, a slight movement was happening under the ground. Around 10 seconds later, a head popped out of the ground and observed the situation. He looked above with fear in his eyes and thought, 'So scary! I was worried for my main body. But since I am fine, my main body should have retreated safely.'

He was a Shadow Clone Fujin created and hidden underground when he was sneak attacking Roshi under the cover of steam. However, the battlefield changed very rapidly forcing the clone to hide deeper into the ground leaving him without any means to provide aid to Fujin.

He thought, 'Since my main body didn't dispel me, he should have a reason to keep me here. It's either to kill that Elite Jounin hiding underground or to test Roshi. If I try to sense the Elite Jounin, Roshi will sense me and defeat me.

After all, I'm no match for him and I doubt that Elite Jounin will die easily. Not to mention, he is hiding deep underground. Though my Vacuum jutsus have good piercing power, they can't pierce through tens of meters of ground. So there is just one option.'

Against a ninja who could use the Wind-Vacuum Technique, hiding underground was very risky. It would severely restrict mobility and the attacks could easily pierce into the ground. But by moving so deep, Gin had unknowingly got into the best defensive position.

So Fujin's clone decided to completely ignore him. He focused over 80% of his chakra into his throat. The sudden chakra build-up attracted Roshi's attention. He quickly turned his head and looked at where the clone was.

'Wind Release: Vacuum Cannon jutsu'

In an instant, Fujin's clone shot the vacuum cannon at Roshi. Roshi's eyes widened. He instinctively moved within the chakra construct. The jutsu travelled at a very high speed and hit the head of the chakra shaped like Son Goku.

The cannon easily pierced into the chakra and broke through the other side leaving a massive hole in the head! However, Roshi had moved out of the path of the attack. He controlled the chakra to refill the hole with Son Goku's chakra in a second. Though he wasn't hurt, his expression was dark. Despite being in his strongest state, he was still in danger.

Despite not doing any damage, the clone had a smile on his face as he analyzed, 'Though the chakra cloak of a tailed beast provides decent defense, it is much weaker than that of a Sussano. As long as I have a way to dodge the Tailed Beast Bomb safely consistently, I can threaten even a Jinchuriki.

But winning should be impossible for now. Their bodies are just too big and their attacks are too strong. They can easily maneuver their position and dodge my attacks while counterattacking.'

Roshi began moving towards the clone and said, "Impressive. To deceive me and make me attack your clone while you stayed hidden safely. No wonder your chakra disappeared so suddenly. But you should have stayed hidden instead of trying to kill me."

Roshi was about to attack him again when the Clone raised his palm and said, "Let's stop here."

Roshi was confused by Fujin's actions. He asked, "What do you mean?"

The Clone said, "Both our squads have already retreated and neither of us can kill each other. Let's call it a day. We will settle our battle on another battlefield. After all, Iwa and Konoha aren't at war."

Roshi's expression became dark at Fujin's shamelessness. He had killed so many Iwa ninjas and yet didn't have an ounce of shame in his voice while claiming that Iwa and Konoha weren't at war. Roshi did not doubt that if Fujin could finish him off, he would never speak such words.

Though Roshi could sense it, he never managed to get a hang of Fujin's chakra reserves as Fujin always masked it to show that it was very low despite being able to fight for a long time. But he was sure that after using so many high-level ninjutsu in intense combat, Fujin's reserves should be very low.

He said, "You killed so many of our ninjas and you think that I will just let you go? Besides, how much chakra do you still have left after fighting for so long?"

He was about to attack when the Clone snorted and replied, "Chakra? I have got more than you and Han combined! If Lord Hokage didn't permit me to kill you, then do you think you would still be alive? Heck, I would have gone to Iwagakure and killed your old Tsuhikage with one hand tied behind my back!"
