YM778.TV Chapter 737: The Momentum of a Kage!
Even though Fujin had the realization before the finals began, he still clung to the hope that some events, especially the ones related to Akatsuki, might still play out similarly up to a certain point. However, Kakashi\'s determination buried that last hope in him.
Fujin\'s clone stopped thinking about the depressing stuff and analyzed the good stuff, \'That said, I never expected that Sakumo\'s main attacking method would be a near-perfect fusion of Yin and Lightning natures. As expected, every powerhouse\'s main method of attacking is peculiar…\'
Fujin\'s clone had observed their clash very carefully. The reason why Kakashi\'s Chidori lost wasn\'t due to the strength of their Lightning but their forms. A typical Lightning jutsu would have the form of a bolt or a current. However, Sakumo\'s White Lightning was akin to a bombardment of tiny needles.
When Kakashi jabbed towards Sakumo, his hand was bombarded with thousands of small independent lightning sparks in an instant. It made Fujin recall the Rasenshuriken, though Sakumo\'s attack wasn\'t that dense. The bombardment pierced through the Lightning covering Kakashi\'s hand before hitting it. Had Sakumo been at his full strength, he could have easily won the battle with this one exchange.
Fujin\'s clone concluded, \'That technique is at the same level as the black flame Hiruzen exhaled. In terms of destructiveness, it even surpasses the black flame. To think Yin chakra could affect Lightning in this manner…
Darui\'s Black Lightning was nowhere near this level. Otherwise, I would have been injured in Kumogakure… Hmm, no. I\'d have died five years ago. Back then I had caught his Black Lightning with my palm. Had it been Sakumo\'s attack, that\'d be no different than committing suicide.
Other than my Wind Domain and the Raikage\'s body, I doubt any defenses can stop this attack. Even Rashomon would collapse due to the constant bombardment. I guess a barrier might have a chance. Regardless, this opens up a whole new door of possibilities for me.\'
He took a deep breath and thought, \'Several years ago, I had used Yin-Yang manipulation to enhance my jutsus to the next level. However, during our battle, Orochimaru displayed phenomenal skill in fusing Yang chakra into elemental jutsus that went far beyond what I had done. Just when I started getting a hang of it, Hiruzen and Sakumo displayed jutsus that are far superior to even that. To think that it had so much potential...Hehehe, it looks like my Wind still has a lot of scope to improve!\'
Fujin\'s clone continued watching their battle while calculating how he could infuse more Yang and Yin chakra in his Wind jutsus. Of course, he also thought of doing so with Lightning jutsus. He had a feeling that if he succeeded, he could take on Ay for some time with his Akuro identity without having to resort to the Flying Thunder God jutsu.
While Sakumo passed his jutsus to Kakashi, Fujin finally decided to end the battle. Juzo, Kaminari and hundreds of Suna ninjas became tense on seeing the Wind Cloak reappear around Fujin. Along with his previous Wind Domain and his battle against Juzo and Kaminari, Fujin\'s chakra reserves finally dropped below half.
Kaminari snorted and said, "Impressive. I didn\'t think you could use it again. However, I wonder if you can sustain it for as long as you did earlier. Unlike us, your chakra is limited."
A smirk appeared on his face as he taunted Fujin. Juzo grabbed his sword as well and became completely serious. While he wasn\'t a fan of being controlled in this manner, Fujin\'s display had riled him up. He wanted to see how strong the person who killed him truly was.
Fujin didn\'t reply and directly made his move. Seeing his figure disappear, Kaminari immediately unleashed a deadly Lightning jutsu! Lightning snakes appeared from his fingertips and moved forward to intercept Fujin who was moving towards them at blinding speed.
Fujin merely slashed his sword forward, releasing a wind slash that easily cut through all the Lightning snakes and moved towards Kaminari. However, Juzo intervened once again, spitting out a vast amount of water to intercept his wind slash. The water absorbed the destroyed lightning snakes and became electrified, before rushing towards Fujin.
Kaminari said, "Good! We just need to stall for time again until that cloak runs out of chak…"
His eyes widened as Fujin didn\'t bother dodging or attacking the electrified water. Instead, he just moved straight through it! While Juzo\'s use of Water jutsu was perfect once again, the combination jutsu wasn\'t really focused on attack. It lacked the power to harm Fujin\'s Wind Cloak.
"Shit! Be careful!" Kaminari shouted as he moved backwards. Juzo retreated as well but not before forming four Water clones to stop Fujin. Behind him, Kaminari created four Lightning clones to slow Fujin down and buy them some time.
However, several air bullets were created and fired spontaneously from the Wind Cloak. Just one hit took out the elemental clones and Fujin appeared in front of Juzo while swinging his sword down vertically on him.
Juzo didn\'t bother trying to defend and just swung his sword at Fujin\'s waist, aiming to cut Fujin into two. Since he could heal from any injuries, a double blow would be advantageous for Juzo. In fact, one of the reasons why Fujin hadn\'t been able to seal them until now was the reckless nature of their fighting due to their immortality.
However, with the Wind Cloak, Fujin was significantly faster than Juzo. Before Juzo could complete even half a swing, Fujin had cut him open vertically!
Kaminari already knew this would happen and hence, he attacked Juzo from behind by launching a supercharged False Darkness jutsu on him! Needless to say, his real target was Fujin who was in the line of attack as well.
The moment Fujin\'s blade cut through Juzo\'s body, Kaminari\'s attack arrived. Without flinching, Fujin exhaled Infinite Breakthrough jutsu at the incoming Lightning spears. The Wind jutsu blasted through the Lightning spears, hit the retreating Kaminari and sent him flying into the forest outside the arena.
The wind blades in the jutsu mutilated Kaminari, but he didn\'t mind the damage and thought, \'I barely made it. His jutsu dispersed the remains of Juzo\'s body. So, he can\'t be sealed before he reforms. However…\'
His pupils dilated as Fujin appeared right above him and swung his blade at Kaminari. Lightning sparks appeared all over Kaminari\'s body as he escaped by the thinnest of the margins.
As he flickered constantly through the forest, he wondered, \'How the hell did this brat grow this strong? Even with Juzo\'s help, I\'m barely able to keep up with him!\'
A frown appeared on his face as Fujin appeared in front of him, easily keeping up with his ridiculous speed. However, Kaminari had expected it. Several explosive tags appeared between him and Fujin and exploded in an instant.
The explosions forced Fujin to move away, while Kaminari flew backwards due to the force of the explosion. He flipped in the air to regain his balance and used the trees as footholds to constantly retreat at a high speed.
As Fujin appeared next to him once again, a face appeared in Kaminari\'s mind. Kaminari thought, \'This is just like that time. No matter what we do, we are unable to even phase him. None of our techniques can harm him, while he easily toys with us! It\'s as if we\'re nothing but pests!\'
Hatred appeared in Kaminari\'s eyes as he fiercely clashed with Fujin! Once again, he barely clung onto his body at the cost of getting trashed around. A grim expression appeared on his face as he thought, \'This is just like that accursed Raikage!\'
The face that appeared in his mind was of none other than the Third Raikage! Due to the talent he showed, Kaminari was an important part of Kumo\'s forces. As such, the Third Raikage had taken an interest in him and guided him a bit.
As any hot-blooded and ambitious youngster, Kaminari wanted to become stronger than his Kage. However, no matter what he did, he was never able to close the distance between the two of them. Even when he became an Elite Jounin who was just a step away from becoming a rank S ninja, it was still the same. Against the Third Raikage, he was always as helpless as an academy student!
The feeling Kaminari got from Fujin was the same. No matter what he and Juzo tried, nothing worked against Fujin! He just brushed off all attacks like they were nothing but dust while they were continuously trashed by him! It caused Kaminari to recall some unpleasant memories.
Kaminari hatefully muttered, "There is no doubt about it. If he\'s left alive, this brat will reach that level. He already has the momentum of a Kage!"
