Chapter 619: A Shocking News!
That said, Hiruzen will be the one facing him next. Even though he is no longer at his peak, Hiruzen is much stronger than what I remember from the original story. I won\'t be surprised if he\'s able to kill Orochimaru and seal the Senju brothers without having to resort to the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
Anyway, irrespective of whether Hiruzen kills or cripples him, Orochimaru wouldn\'t be a match for me even if I tell him all my secrets. So, there is no need to worry about him. The only issue is if he leaks my abilities to Akatsuki. Thankfully, I still have several hidden cards in my arsenal!\'
Back when Fujin created his Wind Domain, he had decided to use it as his go-to jutsu. It\'d be his equivalent of the Tsuchikage\'s Dust Release or the Raikage\'s Lightning Chakra Mode. He didn\'t intend to keep it secret. The technique was strong enough to be impactful even if everyone knew about it.
"Hmm?" Fujin turned his head and looked to his right. He had sensed someone looking at him very carefully. His eyes glowed as he observed, \'Eh? Kabuto is here as well? I wonder if Orochimaru planned to meet him here. Oh well, it\'s good that he didn\'t come to heal Orochimaru. Else things might have gotten complicated.\'
Seeing Fujin looking at him, Kabuto immediately returned to acting as an ordinary Genin and looked respectfully at Fujin. However, his thoughts were anything but ordinary, \'His chakra level should be very low after his fight with Orochimaru-sama. Should I try to assassinate him using my disguise?\'
Kabuto thought for a few seconds before deciding, \'It\'s too risky. He won\'t drop his guard after facing Orochimaru-sama. Not to mention, the Hokage should be on his way here as well. I\'ll keep my focus on Sasuke for now.\'
Fujin ignored Kabuto and glanced at the Ino-Shika-Cho trio before disappearing. The trio were holding their breath as they couldn\'t believe what had happened earlier. As soon as Fujin disappeared, they released their breath and sat on the branches.
Choji muttered, "That was scary! Who knew our proctor would be this powerful!"Ino nodded and said, "Yeah, but that was so cool! Did you see that dragon? It ate that disgusting creep in the blink of an eye! And the way he suddenly appeared there out of thin air was so cool too! Also…"
She looked towards the canal left by the Wind Dragon and said, "I can\'t see where it starts and where it ends! How long do you guys think this trench is?"
She looked at her two teammates before noticing something off. She quickly and quietly asked, "Shikamaru, is everything alright?"
Shikamaru snapped out of his thoughts and said, "Suzuki Fujin… A few months ago, I heard my father saying that he is a fearsome ninja. I didn\'t think he\'d be this strong. To be honest, I don\'t think my father knows that he\'s this strong either. The ninja we saw earlier was Orochimaru, one of the three Legendary Sannins! The massive fight we noticed earlier should have been between the two of them."
Ino and Choji were surprised. Both were aware of Konoha\'s Legendary Sannins. Ino asked in surprise, "That was the rogue Sannin? What was he doing in the Chunin Exams? Also, does it mean that our Proctor killed one of the Legendary Sannin?"
Shikamaru shook his head and said, "No. From what my father said, it is extremely difficult to kill Orochimaru. He should have escaped somehow. Irrespective of whether he\'s dead or escaped, it means that he was defeated by Suzuki Fujin. This is huge! I\'m afraid that something big is about to happen soon."
Ino and Choji were surprised by Shikamaru\'s words. Ino, in particular, was very impressed by Fujin.
A few kilometers away, Kiba looked at the canal left behind by the Wind Dragon and asked fearfully, "What was that? First that massive Fire Dragon and its explosion and then that massive Wind Dragon! What the hell is happening in this absurd forest?"
Shino said, "I\'m not sure, but we better get to the tower soon."
Hinata nodded in agreement.
Some distance from them, two figures crawled out of the soil. Their faces and clothes were completely covered in dust and soil. Gaara stood next to them without a single speck of dust on him.
Kankuro cursed, "Which fucking bastard shot that Wind Dragon? If it was directly targeted at us, we might have died!"
Temari wasn\'t angry about being covered in soil. Instead, she wondered aloud, "How could a Wind Dragon be so strong? How much chakra was poured into it? I haven\'t seen anyone in our village creating something like this."
Kankuro immediately said, "We can wonder about that later. Let\'s go to the tower. I don\'t want to spend another minute in this fucked up forest!"
Just like Kurenai\'s squad, they began moving towards the tower as well.
Closer to where the battle had happened, Tenten asked in surprise, "Neji! What was that? Why did two dragons appear out of nowhere? What happened in the fight?"
Lee was curious as well because all the two could see was Neji\'s shocked expression. Neji finally took a deep breath and said, "The fight is over. Orochimaru escaped! Both those Dragons were used by Fujin. He won the fight!"
Both Lee and Tenten were shocked. While they were aware that Fujin was strong, neither expected him to defeat a Sannin! Especially Tenten who wanted to be a Legendary Kunoichi like Tsunade.
Neji wasn\'t the only one who witnessed the battle. Hiruzen had deployed a few Hyuga Elite Jounins to keep an eye on the training grounds during the exam. They saw the same thing as Neji and looked at each other with shocked expressions.
Back in the tower, Hoka asked, "What happened in the battle? And what were those two Dragons and that Fire Dome?"
Fujin\'s clone shrugged and said, "I didn\'t receive any memories from any clones. Wait for my main body to arrive here."
Hoka and Renjiro could only wait helplessly. Anko and the Anbu ninjas were waiting helplessly as well. They all wanted to know what was happening. Apart from a few who were with the Hyugas, the rest were clueless. Though they would have risked their lives to find out what was happening and help Fujin if he needed their help, none of them wanted to do so since Fujin had explicitly asked everyone to stay away.
Suddenly, winds began moving strangely around all the observers, except the Genins. The winds quickly took Fujin\'s form. Anko looked at him with curiosity. She and the rest were about to ask the status of the battle when Fujin\'s wind clones said, "The battle is over. Orochimaru has escaped. Stop the fire from spreading and extinguish it. You can return to your duties after doing so."
The eyes of Anko and the Anbu ninjas widened in shock. None of them had expected such an outcome! Before they could ask anything, Fujin\'s clones dispersed.
Anko muttered in disbelief, "Did Fujin defeat Orochimaru? How? Is he that strong?"
Anko couldn\'t believe it. As someone who was trained by Orochimaru, she knew how insanely strong Orochimaru was. She knew that he had too many tricks under his sleeve. For him to be defeated by a 16-year-old ninja was too outrageous to believe!
However, she couldn\'t deny the facts in front of her. She quickly moved towards the area where the battle had happened to investigate.
As for the Anbu and other ninjas, they quickly began controlling the fire. Unfortunately, the fire was too large and was spreading too rapidly for them to even control. On realizing that, they sent a ninja out to ask for ninjas who could use Water jutsus to reinforce them. The remaining ones tried their best to slow down the speed at which the flames were spreading.
Except for a few, most of the Genins stayed on guard and didn\'t make any moves as they weren\'t sure what was happening in the forest. None of them wished to be caught amid such an intense battle and lose their lives pointlessly.
Meanwhile, Fujin returned to the tower and stepped onto the balcony where Hoka and Renjiro were standing. He dispelled his clone, getting all of his memories. Renjiro and Hoka looked at him in surprise. Neither expected him to return there so quickly considering who his opponent was.
They could see that Fujin\'s breathing was rough. In addition, his clothes were torn in a few spots. However, there were no injuries on him! There was some blood on his clothes, but the two experienced Ninjas could easily see that it didn\'t belong to him.
Renjiro asked, "Well? What happened there?"
[A/N: I guess that was the longest fight I wrote. Though to be fair, this is one of the fights that I had been planning for a long time and played the battle in my head more than a few dozen times
I\'m glad that everyone enjoyed it! Several interesting developments will happen soon as a consequence of this battle. They will be covered in the upcoming chapters. Have a fun weekend :)]
