Chapter 337: A Creepy Feeling!

Yuya and Yuto began overseeing the task of searching for the man. They showed the sketch around the town. However, not a single person similar to the sketch was seen by anyone in the town.

Yuya went to Fujin and reported to him the state of investigation. Fujin said, "Looks like that man is a ninja. He should have used the Transformation jutsu when the servant saw him."

Yuya asked, "What do we do now?"

Fujin instructed, "It's fine. Continue the search until everyone is asked. Once it is completed, inform me. Inform me as soon as the ninjas stop the search."

Yuya was surprised by the weird command. But he nodded. His ninjas investigated until the evening before giving up. Yuya informed Fujin that the search had stopped and the ninjas would return in a couple of minutes. Fujin nodded and dismissed him.

Around 10 minutes after the ninjas returned, a chakra field covered the entire town! It was activated by Fujin, who sat at the top of the mansion.

He thought, 'I can't sense any other ninja. It looks like he is still being careful. That sucks. I was hoping that he'd drop his guard after the ninjas returned. Anyways, time to mess with him.'

In one ordinary house in the town, a man began sweating. He held his breath and didn't dare to even move a muscle. After 2 minutes, when the chakra field disappeared, he finally relaxed.

He thought, 'What a crazy bastard! Did he cover the entire town with his chakra field? Fortunately, I kept my chakra suppressed. If I had relaxed because those annoying Ninjas gave up, I'd be dead now.'

He collected himself and decided, 'It's best to not use my chakra for a while. I might not get lucky every time. But as long as I don't use my chakra, I will be safe.'

After consoling himself, he calmed down. However, his night wasn't peaceful. Throughout the night, Fujin and Fumito kept activating their chakra fields alternately. The first started to do them at an interval of 10 minutes. But then they suddenly changed the interval to 1 minute.

They followed it up by going completely random. At some point, both stopped and didn't sense any more before suddenly sensing after 3 hours! The man didn't dare to sleep in case he accidentally released some chakra during his sleep. And he didn't dare to consume a soldier pill to stay awake as that would make it difficult for him to hide his chakra.

So he had a sleepless night followed by a sleepless day and another sleepless night. However, he didn't blow up his cover. Fujin finally decided to stop as he had to leave after 6 days and the Ito family wouldn't be able to replicate such sensing skills.

The squad stayed a sufficient distance from the village and hid among the trees while observing the village. Fujin's eyes stopped glowing as he muttered, "That's strange. I'm not seeing anyone's chakra. But the village is giving me strange creeps."

Bunjiro replied, "Maybe it is because the village is empty."

Fujin replied, "No. That's not it. Be on your guard. Fumito, let's investigate the village."

Fumito nodded. Both he and Fujin activated their chakra fields. However, neither sensed anyone or anything strange. But Fujin had a frown on his face. He said, "Let's go. Everyone keep your chakra field active. Be on your guard and stay behind me. Retreat when I say so without any questions. Is that understood?"

His team nodded. They began walking towards the village. All four were actively sensing. In a minute, they appeared at the entrance of the village. Fujin stopped walking as he stared into the village with hesitation in his eyes. His team also stopped behind him and wondered whether he discovered anything.

Fujin stood for two minutes but still couldn't make sense of anything. He thought, 'My first thought is Fuinjutsu. But this doesn't feel like it. I normally understand it very well when something is hidden with the help of seals. What is th...?'

As he was thinking, his instincts warned him. Suddenly, a wide grin appeared behind his mask as he thought, 'Not bad at all. You almost had me!'

A sword appeared in his right hand and he swung it forward with all his strength as he said, "Retreat!"

In the next moment, Fujin's sword met with a hardened black fist! Yugao, Fumito and Bunjiro immediately jumped backwards. The sword cut into the fist for a few millimeters but couldn't pierce any deeper. Instead, the force of the punch overwhelmed Fujin's sword. But Fujin wasn't bothered and instead used the force of the punch to be sent flying backwards. He laughed loudly and shouted in excitement, "Very Impressive. Consider me impressed!"

Though Fujin laughed and said those words, they were only a taunt to provoke the ones hiding inside the barrier and make them come outside. He didn't want to fight on a battlefield created by the enemy. Unfortunately, no one fell for his taunt.

Fujin continued moving backwards as he built up a large amount of chakra. Hundreds of shurikens, explosion tags, kunais, spikes, earth spears and a few jutsus appeared out of thin air and came rushing at the Konoha ninjas.

'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'

Fujin released a supercharged Infinite Breakthrough jutsu at a massive speed and with dozens of wind blades and a couple of Vacuum Waves in it. The jutsu clashed with the incoming attacks!
