Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 503: Lightning Release

It was late at night in Konoha. Most people had already gone to sleep. Only a few Anbu and some ninjas on Patrol duties and similar jobs were awake. In a rather inconspicuous spot in between two remote training fields, a hidden base existed around a couple of dozen meters underground. The base wasn't very big like some of the other bases in Konoha. It only had 7 rooms and 2 paths to enter and exit the base.

Under normal circumstances, this base was never disturbed. However, on this day, every Root ninja sensed a Chakra field aggressively detecting everyone in the base. It stunned the Root ninjas momentarily. Ever since they joined the Root, they had never experienced someone barging into a Root base with so little restraint. Even the Hokage wouldn't do so.

Another important factor to remember was that the base was covered in numerous seals. It was perfectly hidden. Even a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster would have trouble spotting the base. Yet, someone had barged in.

In less than a second, all 9 Root ninjas got into the act. They began moving towards the source of the chakra field. Unfortunately, the intruder was much faster.

Having sensed that there were no chakra signatures that he was familiar with, Fujin's clone didn't have any reason to hesitate. He moved forward and broke through the door blocking his path. Inside the room, the eyes of the two Root ninjas who were moving rapidly as well widened. There was indeed someone who was barging into the Root base!

The Root ninjas immediately grabbed their weapons. There was no need to exchange words with someone who'd do that. They only needed to kill or capture him. Both threw several shurikens and kunai at Fujin's clone.

Seeing the incoming attack, Fujin's clone flickered and appeared to their right. At the same time, 3 senbon appeared in Fujin's right hand and Lightning began flowing through them. In a flash, Fujin threw the three senbon at the Root ninja next to him.

The Root ninja immediately grabbed his kunai to block the senbon. However, even before he could move his arm, the senbon moved at lightning speed and pierced through his eyes and forehead!

Due to Fujin's position, the two Root ninjas were in a straight line. As a result, the Root ninja behind the one Fujin targeted wasn't spared either. Two senbon pierced through his head while the third one pierced through his neck.

Both the Root ninjas dropped dead in an instant. Their brains were damaged as well, making it impossible for anyone to read their memories. As for the Senbon, they continued piercing through several walls before they stopped.

At the same time, the remaining Root ninjas entered the room from opposite directions. They were horrified to see that two of their comrades had already fallen!

The Root ninjas were extremely efficient while working in the dark. Among the ninja villages, there wasn't any other force that came anywhere close to Root in this aspect. However, in terms of frontal assault, the Root ninjas were no better than a normal ninjas. In fact, due to the lack of practice in fighting openly, they could be even considered weaker.

Not to mention, the Root ninjas in the base were only at Elite Chunin and Jounin levels in terms of strength. Even though Fujin wasn't using Wind jutsus and his Lightning combat system wasn't as mature as his Wind combat system, it wasn't an issue for Fujin to face a bunch of Jounins.

Even if Fujin didn't use any Elemental Ninjutsu, strong jutsus like Rasengan or the Flying Thunder God, forbidden techniques like the Eight Inner Gates and his sword, Fujin's speed and physique made him far stronger than a Jounin. It would take an Elite Jounin to stop Fujin even if he didn't use the techniques listed above.

With his Lightning jutsus, a normal Elite Jounin wouldn't stand much of a chance against him either. It would take someone like Juzo or Zabuza to stop him. Of course, against rank S ninjas, Fujin didn't stand any chance with merely Lightning jutsus for the time being.

Unfortunately for the Root ninjas, they didn't have someone like that. They were about to attack when something happened that horrified them! Lightning suddenly appeared on the right hand of Fujin's clone. It released a distinct sound of birds chirping!

One Root ninja exclaimed, "Chidori!"

Another shouted, "Hatake Kakashi! What are you doing?"

Unfortunately, they didn't receive any answer. Fujin's clone flickered once again and appeared moved towards the four Root ninjas who were together.

Suddenly, one Root ninja felt pain in his chest and looked below. His eyes widened as he saw a hand poking through his chest! He vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.

The Root ninjas next to him immediately became on guard. Their expressions behind their masks were grim as they realized how far outmatched they were in terms of speed.

However, even before they could react, the clone's lightning-covered palm slashed through the neck of another Root ninja, beheading him. The remaining two Root ninjas immediately attacked Fujin's clone with Shurikens and began weaving hand seals.

However, 3 Senbon appeared in the clone's left hand. They charged with Lightning as Fujin's clone threw them at the Root ninja on his left. At the same time, the remaining lightning on the clone's right hand concentrated on his palm as he unleashed a Lightning Beam at the fourth Root ninja.

The Lightning Beam knocked out every shuriken that the Root Ninja had thrown and hit the Root Ninja. His entire body was electrocuted. Though he hadn't died, he was in no shape to fight. The other Root ninja wasn't as lucky. His forehead and eyes were pierced by the Senbon before he could even react. Fujin's clone caught the shurikens heading towards him from the other direction.

While Fujin's clone was dealing with these four Root ninjas, the other three Root ninjas immediately realized the disparity in their ability. Two weaved hand signs as one of them said, "You are the fastest among us. Quickly go and inform Lord Danzo."

The third Root ninja began escaping without any hesitation. However, he was a bit confused. He thought, 'Something is weird. I worked with Hatake Kakashi in the past. He wasn't this bloodthirsty. Also, that Chidori he used Though it looked similar, it was much weaker than Kakashi's Chidori. The sound of birds chirping was softer as well. Is it really Kakashi?'

He didn't know that his guess was accurate. Regardless, he had no choice but to continue escaping!

'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough jutsu'contemporary romance

'Fire Release: Searing Migraine jutsu'

The two Root ninjas weaving hand seals unleashed two powerful jutsus. Due to the small size of the base, it covered the entire space and moved towards Fujin's clone leaving him no way of dodging. The two of them didn't care about the remaining Root ninjas that Fujin's clone had just dealt with.

Fujin's clone immediately saw the combination jutsu and noticed the third Root ninja escaping. He charged the Shurikens in his left hand with Lightning and threw them at the two Root ninjas. At the same time, he escaped underground.

'Earth Release: Earth Instantaneous Body jutsu'

Due to the considerable distance between them and the fact that Lightning-charged Shurikens were much slower than the Lightning-charged Senbon, the two Root ninjas were barely able to react and get out of the way of the Shurikens. Only a cut appeared on their bodies.

However, Fujin's target wasn't them. The Root ninja who was running away felt something coming at him. He was about to flicker away, but he wouldn't be able to do so before being hit by the shurikens. Hence, he stopped weaving hand seals and stepped out of the way. Unfortunately for him, this small pause would prove to be fatal.

As soon as he stepped out of the way, he felt a hand grabbing his leg.

'Earth Release: Headhunter jutsu'

Immediately, his entire body was buried underground while Fujin's clone appeared in front of him. Before he could understand what was happening, a finger, which was covered in Lightning, jabbed into his forehead. The Lightning released from the finger completely destroyed his brain, killing him directly.

The remaining two Root ninjas turned around to see that their comrade who was supposed to pass the message had already died! It didn't take a genius to know what fate awaited them. Their attacker was in an entirely different league!

However, that wasn't entirely a bad thing. Once your death was inevitable, the ninja had no reason to be afraid. One of them weaved hand signs while the other grabbed a tag while shouting, "Hatake Kakashi! Don't think that you can kill us and leave scot-free! Lord Danzo will deliver justice!"

The clone's eyes widened as he noticed the hand seals and the tag. Immediately, senbon appeared in both his hands and he threw them at two Root ninjas. Having seen how fast the senbon was a few times, both the Root ninjas acted Immediately and began moving as soon as the senbon left the clone's hands. As a result, the senbon didn't hit any critical part. Though two small holes were drilled through their bodies, the injury wasn't critical.

However, that was enough time for Fujin's clone to attack again. He flickered behind the one holding a tag and beheaded him in a flash. At the same time, he shot another senbon at the other Root ninja.

From a short distance and without seeing the clone's attack clearly, he had no chance of dodging. The senbon pierced through his forehead. However, he was still smiling as his hand seals had completed!

'Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags'

In an instant, the ground around Fujin's clone began transforming into explosive tags! He was surrounded by thousands of explosive tags in mere moments!
