Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 723: The Terror of the Wind Domain!

However, Orochimaru continued spitting out more water and retreating until his back was to the barrier! By the time the fire could reach him, the water had absorbed all the heat and doused the fire. Orochimaru only felt a heat wave hitting his body.

He laughed and said, "The Hellfire Clap jutsu, brings back memories. You have grown old, sensei. In the old days, your fire would have made it through the wat…"

Orochimaru suddenly stopped talking and glanced outside the barrier. Hiruzen glanced in the same direction at the same time. Despite not having their chakra fields active, both instinctively felt that a large number of chakra signatures suddenly disappeared. Their eyes widened seeing the headless bodies around Fujin.

Soon after, a smile appeared on Hiruzen\'s face as he thought, \'So this technique has reached this level? Haha, not bad, not bad at all! A technique of this scale, I won\'t be able to replicate it entirely.\'

Meanwhile, Orochimaru thought, \'It\'s that wind dome… So, not only can he control winds inside the dome but also spontaneously create wind jutsus inside the dome. It was a good thing that I attacked with a Fire jutsu instead of entering it. Otherwise, things would have been far worse…\'

After their clash, Orochimaru rated Fujin extremely highly and considered him a great threat that needed to be eliminated if he wanted to destroy Konoha. However, Fujin\'s impression became even deeper in Orochimaru\'s mind after seeing what the Wind Domain could achieve. For a moment, he became unsure about whether the arrangements he made for Fujin were enough to deal with him.

Hiruzen chuckled, attracting Orochimaru\'s attention, and said, "It\'s true. My powers have waned considerably. However, there will always be a new leaf to replace the old leaves. If you want to destroy Konoha, I\'m afraid that killing me won\'t suffice."

Orochimaru built up his chakra while replying, "Don\'t worry. I\'ll rip out both old and new leaves by the time I\'m done!"

\'What in the world? Is that a Wind jutsu? However, how can Wind jutsus be used in such a manner?\' Baki wondered in disbelief. He couldn\'t fathom Wind jutsus being used in such a manner. Seeing the winds in the Wind Domain being completely under Fujin\'s control terrified him.

His expression became grim as he realized, \'Not good! He cut down two divisions in no time. We lost two hundred of our finest ninjas. This is far beyond the acceptable level we decided in the council. If he continues, we may be wiped out!

Where is Kazekage-sama? Why hasn\'t he appeared yet? What arrangements did he and Orochimaru make to stop this monster?\'

Unlike Baki, who could still keep his calm and analyze the situation, the remaining Suna ninjas were downright terrified!

"What in the hell?"

"How did so many of our comrades die so suddenly? Who cut their heads?"

"Was it all the Spectral Swordsman doing?"

"Don\'t joke around! He is just one person! How can he kill two divisions so rapidly?"

Some of them were still in disbelief and didn\'t accept the simple truth in front of them. It wasn\'t due to arrogance or stupidity, but rather the absurdity of the situation that forced their minds to deny it. Just a minute ago, they were rushing to attack and destroy Konoha with great momentum. And yet, a third of their comrades had been wiped out by a single person before they killed even a single Konoha ninja!

Fujin stood at the same spot, reshaping the Wind Domain into a Wind Cloak. The Suna ninjas noticed the change and realized that all the Wind around Fujin was under his control! Panic immediately spread through their ranks!

"Holy crap! What is that Wind jutsu?"

"Fuck! Does he control all the Wind around him? How can anyone fight that?"

"How is his control of winds better than anyone in the Land of Wind?"

"Shit! We are sitting ducks for him!"

"Did Kazekage-sama abandon us?"

"Where are Kazekage-sama and Orochimaru? We can\'t fight him by ourselves!"

As the winds moved towards him, Fujin glanced at the Suna and Oto ninjas. No matter whether they believed or denied the situation in front of them, every single one felt the terror in their hearts. Not a single ninja dared to meet his gaze. For the first time, they understood why the minor villages feared Fujin so much!

In the Hokage\'s building, Shikaku asked, "Did you find Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya replied, "It\'s weird. The Kazekage\'s chakra signature transformed into Orochimaru\'s. It looks like he disguised as the Kazekage to attack sensei. To think that he could fool me even when I used Nature chakra to sense…

I can\'t sense the Kazekage or any other rank S ninja. 700 hundred ninjas attacked the arena, but 200 hundred of them have already been killed by Fujin. That boy is even more of a monster than I thought. You definitely gave him the most appropriate role."

Shikaku\'s eyes widened. He exclaimed, "He already killed 200 ninjas?"

Even Shikaku had a hard time believing it despite knowing what Fujin did against Kumogakure. He thought, \'I need to see which technique he uses to eliminate enemies so quickly. Anyway, now\'s not the time.\'

Shikaku said, "If it is just Orochimaru attacking Lord Hokage, then he should be able to handle it. Even if the Kazekage appears, Guy should be able to handle him while Fujin eliminates others or holds back another rank S ninja. Jiraiya-sama, you deal with the giant snakes.

Our ninjas would have been able to handle the summons, but the Suna and Oto ninjas along with them put us at a great disadvantage. Even though we will eventually win, it\'ll be a costly win."

Jiraiya replied, "Alright, I\'ll take care of the snakes immediately."

Shikaku said, "If there is any change to the situation, I\'ll burn one of the communication seals."

Jiraiya nodded and disappeared from the building while Shikaku continued monitoring the entire situation. Had it been just one group of snakes, Shikaku would have dispatched a couple of Elite Jounins along with a dozen squads to take care of it. However, he couldn\'t underestimate the losses that 8 groups would inflict upon Konoha.

Even though he wasn\'t fighting, Shikaku had to ensure that Konoha not only won, but its losses stayed minimal. After sending Jiraiya away, Shikaku dispatched half of the remaining clan ninjas towards the arena and other hot spots. The Anbu, who specialized in dealing with giant summons, were also dispatched. The remaining clan ninjas and Anbu continued to stay in reserve in case another front opened up.

In the stadium, Sakura was terrified once again as she saw the headless bodies. She wondered, \'Are all wars so terrifying? No, I can\'t lose control of myself. Sasuke is all alone in the midst of this war. I have to bring him back.\'

She quickly woke up Lee and Naruto before discovering that Shikamaru was just pretending to be asleep. Naruto asked in confusion, "What is happening? Why is everyone fighting?"

His eyes widened as he asked, "How did those trees become red all of a sudden? And why are those people sleepi…?"

Words got stuck in his mouth as he realized that the people lying on the ground were headless! Sakura replied, "Sunagakure and Otogakure ninjas attacked us. We are at war! Those people were killed by Fujin!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise, "Big brother Fujin killed so many people? No way! Where is he?"

Sakura pointed in a direction and said, "He is ther… Huh? Where is he?"

After transforming his Wind Domain into Wind Cloak, Fujin moved once again. Baki sighed in relief that the closest group to Fujin was the Oto division. He blocked Hayate\'s and Genma\'s attacks while keeping an eye on Fujin. Unfortunately, his relief didn\'t last for too long.

Using the Wind Cloak to propel himself, Fujin reached the Oto division in the blink of an eye. He was so fast that everyone, who was keeping track of him, lost sight of him for a second. Only by following the wind trail could they understand his movements.

The Oto ninjas had just engaged several Konoha ninjas when Fujin appeared on their flank and cut down four ninjas with one swing of his sword. His sudden appearance made the heads of Oto ninjas turn. They just saw Fujin waving his arm, causing the Wind Cloak to release some winds, which quickly transformed into wind blades and cut down the 16 ninjas closest to him.

Even before those ninjas were cut down, Fujin disappeared from his spot. He appeared on another side of their army. Seeing the winds suddenly become intense, the Oto ninjas understood that Fujin was approaching them. One of the Jounins shouted, "Bastard! How dare he kill our comrades! Stop holding back and kill him!"

As soon as he gave the command, tattoos appeared on the bodies of half a dozen ninjas, including the ninja who shouted. Fujin immediately noticed the change and realized, \'Huh? The curse seal? Tsk, that snake is really generous with his soul.\'
