Chapter 120: Clash of rank B jutsus
Hoka smirked and replied, "My opponent never dared to get close to me."
Mieko answered, "Mine maintained distance and fought defensively as well. He was just stalling for time."
Fujin looked at them and said, "That\'s good. But your chakra level seems very low."
Both sighed and nodded. Mieko\'s chakra had dropped to just 20%! Hoka had about 45% chakra left. By comparison, Fujin had 60% chakra remaining. If Renjiro\'s clone made his enemy waste Chakra, then Fujin\'s chakra level could be higher than his.
Fujin said, "You guys don\'t use chakra much. Hoka, you fight at close distance. Mieko, you provide shuriken support. And save your chakra if we decide to use a combination jutsu. I\'ll provide ninjutsu support. Sensei\'s Clone can provide backup for us."
Hoka immediately agreed, "Alright!"
He got to fight with Taijutsu which was all that mattered to him. Mieko also reluctantly agreed. She didn\'t have much chakra left to perform ninjutsu. And in terms of Taijutsu, both Hoka and Fujin were superior to her.
The trio soon reached the place where Renjiro\'s Shadow Clone and Mimasuya Junji were fighting. They hid in the woods and observed the situation.
The entire battlefield was a mess. There were hundreds of Earth spears spread throughout the battlefield. The rock spikes and thorns seem to be countless! Multiple Rock shields and Earth walls were also on the battlefield.
Renjiro\'s clone and Mimasuya Junji were standing around 100 meters from each other.
Junji had 1 Earth wall in front of him and a couple of Rock shields to his right and left.
Junji was frowning. He analyzed, \'In the last 15 minutes, I have tried everything I could do to dispel the clone, but he managed to defend every time. I tried making Water and Earth clones to help others, but he intercepted them all.
Every single clone of mine was caught off guard and dispelled! And his clone doesn\'t seem to be running short on chakra. Do I have to wait until someone comes to help me?\'
He looked at Renjiro\'s clone and sighed, \'This is so embarrassing. I hope my lil bro isn\'t the one who comes to my aid. Anyways, 3 of the enemies were kids. They should be dealt with soon.\'
Renjiro\'s clone kept a watch thinking, \'He hasn\'t made a move for over a minute. Has he given up on creating a breakthrough and is waiting for others?\'
Renjiro\'s clone analyzed and shrugged, \'Whatever. This deadlock is in my favor. Once my main body wins, we will sweep through the battlefield!\'
The trio of Fujin, Mieko and Hoka watched stealthily. Mieko frowned, "Why aren\'t they fighting?"
Hoka said, "They seem to be in a stand-off. I guess both are trying to save chakra."
Fujin also frowned, "Sneak attacking will be tougher if he isn\'t fighting."
Hoka asked, "How will we sneak attack?"
Fujin replied, "There is no good way. Let me try."
Fujin made a few hand signs and created a Vacuum Bullet core in his mouth. Hoka and Mieko flickered and moved away from Fujin. Fujin looked at Junji, but there was no movement from him. Not having any other choice, he used his jutsu.
\'Vacuum Bullet jutsu\'
When Fujin fired his Vacuum Bullet jutsu, despite not sensing anything, Junji became very alert. He instantly moved behind a couple of steps. Unlike his brother and Danjuro, Junji was an elite! He had fought throughout the 3rd Great Ninja war and was promoted to Jounin due to his achievements. Despite not seeing Fujin\'s attack, he still dodged it.
The Vacuum bullet hit the Rock shield on his right, penetrated through it, passed a foot away from the front of Junji\'s chest and then penetrated through another Rock shield!
Fujin flickered to a different spot while frowning, \'I need to learn how to make multiple vacuum cores. He\'d have been dead if I could have created 4-5 Vacuum bullets.\'
The attack caught the attention of both Junji and Renjiro. They both looked at where the attack came from. Renjiro smiled. On the other hand, Junji\'s face was grim. The penetrative power of the attack was too high! He observed where the attack came from, but no one was there.
Mieko looked at the opponent and said, "Looks like a sneak attack won\'t work."
Hoka nodded and replied, "We will have to attack from the front."
Junji thought, \'Such a strong attack! Did Konoha\'s reinforcements arrive so quickly? I need to win quickly or others will be defeated if they have to fight multiple enemies.\'
Junji made a few hand signs. Renjiro\'s clone smiled and made hand signs as well and slammed his hands on the ground.
\'Water Release : Exploding Water Colliding Wave jutsu\'
\'Earth Release : Earth Dragon Blast jutsu\'
Junji used Exploding Water Colliding Wave jutsu on the forest to his right. A huge water wave appeared and crushed down towards the forest.
At the same time, the ground began shaking. A large, bronze Dragon head appeared out of the ground and roared. Behind the head was its long stone body. It dived down underground once again and moved towards Junji.
Mieko and Hoka, who were together, watched with grim faces as a huge water wave approached them. They both readied themselves to flicker backwards.
Fujin watched as the huge water wave approached him. Knowing that Mieko and Hoka won\'t be able to defend, he made a few hand signs as well.
\'Wind Release : Infinite Breakthrough jutsu!\'
He blew out intense winds that clashed with the huge water wave! The water wave was stopped. Water began dispersing through the strong winds and rained down harmlessly. Some water still passed through the winds, but it wasn\'t much and passed through the forest while the trio were on the trees. The clash happened on a wild scale. Both Renjiro and Kazuki noticed it.
Renjiro observed and thought, \'Is Fujin teaming up with my clone?\'
Though Renjiro could use Wind jutsus as well, he rarely used them in combat. Against a Water jutsu, he would always use Earth jutsus.
Kazuki observed with a grim face, \'Did a strong Wind affinity ninja from Konoha arrive to reinforce? Or is it that brat who used the Great Breakthrough jutsu? What the hell are Junji and others doing? How long do they need to defeat 1 clone, 3 kids and 1 Inuzuka?
Junji watched with a grim face, \'My jutsu was countered so easily.\'
Sensing the Earth Dragon approaching him, Junji immediately moved away. However, Renjiro\'s clone controlled the Earth Dragon to follow Junji.
Mieko and Hoka observed the situation with their Kekkei Genkais. Hoka sighed and said, "How will I fight in close range if they use such huge jutsus?"
Fujin concentrated Chakra in his eyes to carefully observe the Earth Dragon chasing Junji. He analyzed, \'If he defends Renjiro\'s attack, I might get another shot.\'
Fujin quickly made a few hand signs and prepared another Vacuum bullet core.
Though Junji was moving rapidly, the Earth Dragon was faster. Understanding that he can\'t dodge, he created a hand sign and slammed his hands on the ground.
\'Earth Release : Rocky Ground Barrier jutsu\'
The ground under Junji immediately began hardening. In addition, a rock dome appeared around him and surrounded him.
The Earth Dragon clashed with the hard rocky ground and was stopped. Having no way to proceed ahead, it exploded. Junji desperately poured his chakra into the ground to strengthen his defenses.
Fujin, who was observing carefully, suddenly noticed, \'An opportunity!\'
He immediately fired his Vacuum Bullet at Junji. Junji was in a very tough spot!
