Chapter 688: Wild u0026 Unpredictable!
[A/N: Once again, thanks for all your love and support guys. My family and I are doing much better now. The rituals are more or less done as well, and most of the relatives have left too, though a few may come to visit in the coming days. So, the release schedule could be inconsistent for a week, but I shouldn't miss any chapters hopefully. Anyway, let's get back to the story. Stay safe and healthy!]
When he left Kumogakure, Darui led an army of 500 ninjas along with C, Samui, Yugito and Jin. Due to Fujin's trap and the battle, 119 ninjas had already died. The remaining 381 gathered together and hid behind a dome-shaped barrier.
Needless to say, the barrier was very strong. It could even stop Yugito. C sighed in relief and muttered, "Luckily your speculations were on point. He didn't kill anyone. We can finally take him on without any worry."
What Darui and the rest couldn't calculate was that Fujin was almost tempted to kill all 381 ninjas within the barrier! Since he had been waiting here for Darui and his army, he had long left countless Flying Thunder God marks around.
While Fuinjutsu Grandmasters could sense his other seals, they couldn't spot the Flying Thunder God marks. If they could, then Hiruzen and Danzo would have long suffered a deadly heart attack and rested in peace and left poor Orochimaru without any targets. So, Fujin wasn't conservative in marking the area.
Needless to say, there were several marks within the barrier. Fujin could just teleport inside and kill everyone with his Wind Domain before the Kumo ninjas could even deactivate the barrier! Due to how close they were standing to each other, doing so was considerably easier than killing everyone in the bases.
Fujin muttered to himself, 'They're lucky that killing others doesn't increase a person's strength in any way. Otherwise, Ay might have had a mental breakdown. Anyway, with all of them sealed within the barrier, I won't face any sneak attacks while fighting them.
However, taking on both Darui and Yugito with just Lightning Release is still too tough for me. I guess I'll have a final round before leaving my name behind and setting up conditions for more such battles in the future…'
With the army safe, Darui's group quickly moved towards Fujin. They promptly reached Fujin, who was casually standing while resting his back against a burning tree patiently waiting for them.
