Naruto: The Wind Calamity
chapter-616

"Hehe, you're in my hunting ground now. The only way out of here is straight to hell!"

Fujin's expression didn't change. He hadn't expected snakes to have trained in this manner. However, on thinking for a bit, he felt that it made sense. After all, a snake's ability to feel the vibrations in the ground was known to be remarkable even in his previous world.

Fujin thought, 'This truly is a terrible situation to be in. This environment is terrible for my Wind jutsus. Unless I use my Wind Domain, there isn't anything I can do to counter him.

Of course, that is unless I use my Lightning jutsus. If I do so, I can change this battle in an instant and kill those snakes with ease. I might even be able to catch Orochimaru off guard.

Unfortunately, I don't think I'd even be able to kill this body of his even if I managed to catch him by surprise, let alone the parts of his soul sealed in the numerous curse seals. So, there is no gain in exposing my Lightning jutsus. Sigh…'

At the same time, Orochimaru was thinking, 'Even though those snakes can dodge everything, his Vacuum jutsus are very lethal and unique. If he can launch the jutsu that destroyed my clones at high speed, he might be able to kill them. Not to mention, it's hard to say which other Vacuum jutsus he knows.

However, after my words, he will be less likely to try killing them. Even though those snakes won't be able to harm him, they'll apply a lot of pressure as he'll need to keep an eye on them as well. With so much pressure, it's only a matter of time before he makes a mistake.'

As he was thinking, Orochimaru was radiating a massive amount of bloodlust! He didn't bother hiding how much he wanted to kill Fujin. He didn't want to see such a strong threat during the war.

Without displaying any emotions on his face, Fujin replied, "I have to admit, your reputation is well deserved. I didn't think I'd be pushed so far. However, hehehe."

Fujin began laughing as he continued, "Don't forget where you stand. By now, your Sensei would have already heard about your presence and should be rushing here. If you don't manage to kill me within a few minutes, it'll be your head that'll be rolling, hahaha!"

Orochimaru maintained his grin and said while building up his chakra once again, "Don't worry, I'll kill you long before Sensei reaches here."

As soon as he stopped talking, Orochimaru spat out a large amount of water towards Fujin. However, this water wasn't normal water. Fujin could sense that there was a massive amount of Yin chakra mixed in that water!

Fujin looked at the incoming attack while thinking, 'Sigh, that's what I get for reminding him to escape before Hiruzen arrives! After all, I won't be able to read his memories and get everything he has collected and researched if Hiruzen kills him here…'

Fujin slammed his hands on the ground.

'Earth Release: Earth Wall jutsu'

Three layers of massive earth walls appeared in front of Fujin. Due to the environment Orochimaru created, the size and strength of the Earth Walls were much greater than normal.

Immediately after, Fujin weaved a few hand seals and slammed his right hand on the ground!

'Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld jutsu'

The ground, which had earlier been converted into mud by Orochimaru, now transformed into a swamp! Orochimaru's special snakes were all caught in the swamp as well. However, none of the snakes panicked as the swamp could neither harm them nor restrict their mobility!

Orochimaru's Water jutsu was stopped by the Earth Walls and the swamp absorbed a great amount of that water as well.

Orochimaru was surprised. He thought, 'I knew he could use the Earth Wall jutsu but when did he learn Swamp of the Underworld? Also, how is this going to help him in this situation? Does he want to reduce the density of the ground to attack them underground? But that won't work.'

Even though Akatsuki had managed to gather a lot of Fujin's information from Iwa, Kiri and Kumo, they couldn't know that Hiruzen had personally guided Fujin and taught him Fire and Earth jutsus.

Even though they weren't at the level of his Wind Release, Fujin could still use those elements effectively in battle. With two moves, Fujin had stopped Orochimaru's attack and created a set-up to butcher the 8 snakes lurking under his feet!

With the conditions set, wind chakra began flowing through Fujin's sword once again. However, it didn't sharpen its edge this time. Instead, a mini-hurricane appeared around his sword! And, on the outer part of this hurricane, Vacuum Blades were revolving at a very high speed!

Orochimaru watched carefully while thinking, 'Another application of the Wind Vacuum Technique. How many techniques has he developed?'

To Orochimaru's surprise, Fujin stabbed his sword into the swamp! The snakes, who were hiding underground patiently, suddenly felt a lot of vibrations and danger. They immediately retreated.

Unfortunately, before they could get away, the hurricane spread through the entire swamp and engulfed the snakes! The high-speed winds created several deep cuts on their bodies but were unable to kill them. However, the Vacuum Blades that would appear occasionally could cut through their huge bodies with extreme ease!

In just a couple of seconds, the swamp under Fujin's feet was filled with the blood of the snakes! Slowly their bodies would float to the top of the swamp. However, Fujin didn't have the luxury of waiting till then as Orochimaru made his next move exactly when he was trying to kill the snakes!

Even though Orochimaru was surprised by the tactic Fujin used, he wasn't fazed by the death of his pets. He thought, 'Impressive. However, my summons have already accomplished their task!'

Suddenly, 8 Mud Clones of Orochimaru appeared very close to Fujin, surrounding him on all sides. Appearing in Orochimaru's snake form, all 8 of them slithered towards him at a high speed!

Fujin was surprised as he hadn't detected any movements. He quickly analyzed, 'Did he create those Mud Clones so close to me? How? I thought that the snakes would play a crucial role, but it looks like he just wanted them to distract me for a few seconds…'

Half of Orochimaru's Mud Clones shot Air Bullets at Fujin. Two began creating spikes under his feet. The last two threw multiple shurikens with explosive tags attached to them and used Shuriken Shadow Clone jutsu to increase their number to hundreds!

The attack happened too quickly. Fujin was still using the Sword Hurricane jutsu when Orochimaru's Mud Clones appeared. He had to terminate the jutsu and pull out his swords.

By then, the Air Bullets had already reached him! Fujin showed excellent dexterity and dodged all the Air Bullets. Unfortunately, a few Air Bullets hit his sword, a couple of them hitting right where it was cracked. With a loud cracking sound, Fujin's sword snapped into two!

It was one of the two swords that Fujin had asked Hiruzen as a reward for ranking first in the Academy! Though it took nearly two years for him to actually get the swords, it had stayed with him since then.

Even though it was nowhere near the level of the Sword of Kusanagi or the Seven Swords of the Mist, it was no less infamous as it was one of the twin swords with which Fujin had gained his nickname - The Spectral Swordsman! Almost every ninja outside Konoha was aware of how it looked!

Despite losing a sword that had been with him for years, Fujin had no time to take a second look at it. The reason for it was that the attacks by Orochimaru's clones had cut off all escape routes! The only way Fujin could dodge every attack and leave unharmed was by escaping with the Flying Thunder God jutsu. And, the speed of the attacks meant that Fujin had almost no time to put up a defense!

Fujin looked at the incoming attacks with a cold look and muttered to himself, 'I guess it's time to make this technique public! From today onwards, this will be the technique I'll be known for.'

While he was thinking, Fujin released a massive amount of Chakra from his body! Orochimaru, who was looking for a way to enter the battle with his main body, was surprised by the sudden change and wondered, 'What is he up to this time?'

As soon as the chakra exited his body, it transformed into winds! The sudden winds knocked all the shurikens off course and hit the explosive tags, making them explode prematurely. They also stopped any force from the explosions from reaching Fujin!

The winds also penetrated into the ground, dismantling every mud spike created by Orochimaru's mud clones. The Air Bullets dissipated as well and mixed with the winds!

All this took place within a second of Fujin releasing his chakra into the air! In the next second, sharp wind blades appeared out of thin air around Orochimaru's Mud Clones and chopped them up! All of Orochimaru's clones were dispelled.

The brand-new technique piqued Orochimaru's interest. He wondered, 'What technique is this? How can he control winds in such an elegant and fearsome manner?'

In the next few seconds, the winds took the shape of a domain, covering everything within a 50-meter radius! As for Orochimaru's main body, he immediately retreated a safe distance after seeing what happened to his clones.

He observed Fujin's technique carefully before laughing, "Not bad! Not bad at all! However, with so much wind, aren't you afraid of getting burnt?"

Just like Fujin, Orochimaru built up a massive amount of his chakra. He poured nearly 5% of his chakra to supercharge his jutsu. Against the dome of Wind protecting Fujin, Orochimaru exhaled his Majestic Destroyer Flame jutsu! Just like earlier, it had a massive amount of Yang chakra along with Fire chakra!

The flames entered into Fujin's Wind Domain and were further strengthened by the Winds! In the blink of an eye, the entire Wind Domain was lit on fire! Standing in the center, all Fujin could see were flames! Even though Orochimaru couldn't see Fujin's face, he could imagine the shock on Fujin's face!
