Chapter 682: Weather Report - Hurricanes!

'I need to change my tactics... Hmm?'

Fujin glanced towards his left and saw dozens of kunai with explosive tags flying towards him. A couple of dozen Kumo ninjas from the army's vanguard had moved around the battlefield to sneak up on Fujin. In addition, Fujin sensed a couple of dozen ninjas quickly moving towards his right as well.

Lightning appeared in his left hand again as Fujin flung it towards the incoming kunai. The Lightning transformed into a net, deflecting every kunai and disabling all the explosive tags.

A moment later, he jumped and appeared on a branch behind him as the ground under him turned into spikes. His new position was immediately bombarded by Water and Lightning combination jutsus as more Kumo ninjas jumped into the battle.

Finally getting a breather, Darui said, "That guy is intense. Are you guys alright?"

Everyone nodded. Even though the fight was intense, no one was injured. Well, no one but one. Darui looked at Yugito and asked, "Yugito, how's your leg?" Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Yugito replied, "I think his punch cracked some of my bones. However, Two Tails' chakra has healed most of it. I can fight normally. That said, be careful in a frontal battle against him. His strength is phenomenal."

Darui said, "Yeah, there's no doubt about it. He was able to stop my blade with just his fist."

Suddenly, Jin said, "Darui, all his clothes are densely inscribed in seals. That is why your blade was stopped so easily. You guys need to be more careful in close combat. Those seals raise his defenses by several levels. Your attacks might not have as much effect on him as you think. In addition, I'm not sure whether those seals have any offensive features."

While Darui and the rest were having a quick discussion, Fujin was standing in the forest surrounded by electrified water. However, he wasn't worried. On the contrary, it made it difficult for the Kumo ninjas to make any follow-up attacks.

Fujin analyzed, 'A frontal assault against the 7 of them will only result in a loss. The only real way I can change the tide of the battle is by using Kirin. However...'

A helpless smile appeared on Fujin's face. As good as Kirin was, it was just too strong. He didn't want to risk killing either Darui or Yugito. That would have far-reaching repercussions.

Darui was Ay's right hand. Among everyone in Kumo, he was the only acceptable successor to Ay. Losing someone like him could force Ay to take drastic measures, such as targeting the young ninjas of Konoha and perhaps even other villages. While Fujin wasn't afraid of him and could take him on, the future would change drastically if Kumogakure killed any of Naruto's batchmates.

On the other hand, Yugito was a Jinchuriki. If she died, Matatabi would die as well and revive somewhere a few years later. Even though Fujin had created the Phantom Haven, his ability to gather information was still nowhere near Zetsu's level. And unlike the Three Tails, Fujin didn't have a clue about where it would resurrect. Hence, Fujin didn't want to kill her for the time being.

Fujin analyzed, 'I guess there is just one option then... The most basic tactic... Let's see how they respond.'

'Storm Release: Laser Circus!'

A halo of bright light spread around Darui's hands and encircled them. Dozens of Lightning beams fired from it towards Fujin. Unlike his previous attack, Darui had taken time to supercharge this attack properly. He had poured almost 10% of his chakra into a single attack! Sensing the immense chakra, the other Kumo ninjas retreated.

Fujin looked at the incoming beams and thought, 'Storm release is quite fascinating... It would go perfectly with this identity. A shame that my talent in Water manipulation is beyond terrible...'

Fujin knew that there was no point in dodging those beams. He stood at his spot and released a large amount of Lightning charges. They began spinning at a rapid speed and formed a Lightning vortex.

Darui frowned and thought, 'He didn't try to dodge... He must know about Storm Release.'

Darui immediately controlled his beams to spread them apart and attack Fujin from every direction. However, to his surprise, he began losing control over his beams! Instead, the beams all moved towards the Lightning Vortex as if it were a black hole! The Kumo ninjas were shocked. No one had ever seen Darui lose control of his Lightning!

C, who had observed everything clearly, muttered in disbelief, "That's incredible. I have never seen Lightning being used in this manner. That vortex he created naturally attracts electricity around it. The closer Lightning gets to the vortex, the stronger the force of attraction is. Since he waited until your attack was very close to him, you couldn't control your own attack."

Fujin looked at the Lightning vortex and thought, 'It'll be inappropriate to not return the gift, won't it?'
