Chapter 83: : 81: Fighting in a Dumb Way

While Fujin's and Minori's teams had clashed, the other teams still hadn't made contact with anyone.

Some teams chose to hide. While some decided to go on a hunt. They would end up trying to track each other for more than half a day before the first clash would happen.

Meanwhile, the 2nd team from Kiri decided to run straight to the tower and prepare a trap there. On route, they had to fight wild beasts thrice, which slowed their speed. They needed around 30 minutes before the tower was in sight.

Fujin, Hoka, and Mieko too came across wild beasts twice. One was a 5 meter tall Chimp, while the 2nd was a 3 meter tall Tiger! However, both were cut with ease by Fujin.

There were other obstructions too along the way. Such as a massive beehive that was poked by Mieko! She did end up burning them away, but not before getting stung in the face a couple of times. Hoka and Fujin laughed at her cost.

As they were moving along, Fujin wondered, 'At this rate, we will break the record by a huge difference! So why did this team not make the record in canon? Was only my addition enough to make such a huge difference?'

Fujin thought for a bit before concluding, 'It's likely that Renjiro became our Jounin Instructor due to my request of being taught Samurai Saber Technique. So whoever became the Jounin instructor of these two most probably didn't train them with the same intensity as Renjiro.

Also, without me, the team wouldn't have the Fire-Wind combo jutsus which gives us a huge advantage to start with. Oh well, doesn't matt...'

Fujin's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Hoka saying, "There's a team ahead 700 meters from us."

Fujin frowned and asked, "Which one?"

Hoka replied, "Looks like a Kiri squad."

Fujin asked, "Is it that guy who asked that question?"

Hoka shook his head and said, "The other Kiri team."

Mieko said, "Let's fight! The last one was unsatisfying."

Hoka agreed with her, "Yes, I agree."

Fujin said, "Alright. Their other team seemed very interested in killing." He grinned and said, "So we might as well kill this one!"

They moved ahead quickly. Fujin said, "These guys don't seem to have a sensor. They might die just from the surprise attack."

Hoka frowned and quickly said, "Let's not do the surprise attack! I want to fight them!"

Fujin raised his eyebrow and asked, "Why no sneak attack? It's dumb to not do it when we have the opportunity."

Satoru also created a few hand signs, 'Hidden Mist Jutsu.'

While the 3rd one opened a scroll, got a huge bandage, and placed it gently but quickly on her scalp! She was freaked out!

Fujin was surprised at how quickly they counterattacked. He moved to his left, to dodge 3 water bullets continuously, before sending another flying slash. All 3 moved away!

Hoka and Mieko attacked as soon as they dodged the slash.

Mieko launched Phoenix Fire Sage jutsu on them but was countered by Yumi's Water Wall.

Hoka tried to close in to fight, but Kohaku, who recovered surprisingly quickly, threw a kunai with an explosion tag attached to it. Hoka was forced to fall back.

Soon, mist began gathering in the area. This made all 3 Konoha genins frown. The Hidden Mist jutsu was known to obstruct both the Sharingan as well as the Byakugan.

Fujin moved behind and used 'Great Breakthrough Jutsu' after supercharging it for a couple of seconds.

Mieko and Hoka noticed Fujin supercharging his jutsu and retreated behind Fujin.

The Kiri genins had no idea. They were hit by a massive Great Breakthrough jutsu! All the mist was blown away. They were having a hard time holding on to the ground.

Yumi barely made a hand seal, 'Water Wall jutsu'

A water wall began forming, but it kept getting blown apart by the winds. Kohaku and Satoru used the few moments of respite to use defensive jutsus as well.

Satoru created another Water Wall, while Kohaku created a Rock shield.

However, at that time, both Mieko and Hoka also launched their jutsu. Mieko spat a huge Fireball into Fujin's Great Breakthrough jutsu. While Hoka used 'Stone Shuriken jutsu' to attack them from a range.

The fire and winds managed to destroy 2 water walls and heated the rock shield, but it held on. However, due to the wild nature of the winds, the fire spread all over and attacked them by moving around the rock shield.

However, this wasn't strong enough. Yumi used 'Water Shield jutsu' in time to protect them.

Hoka's Stone Shurikens were blocked by the Rock shield.

Seeing the opponents manage to defend surprised all 3 of them. Mieko grinned and said, "They are strong. This is fun!"

Hoka and Fujin had slightly different thoughts. Hoka was sad, 'Why is no one fighting with Taijutsu?' Fujin, on the other hand, wondered, 'We are just 100 meters from the tower. Should I grab these 2 and flicker?'Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
