Naruto: The Wind Calamity - Chapter 182: Fierce Clash in the Grasslands!

The two Priests weaved hand signs quickly.

'Water Release: Waterfall Jutsu'

'Lightning Release: False Darkness Jutsu'

One of the Priests expelled a huge amount of water at the Konoha ninjas. It formed a huge wave and headed towards the Konoha ninjas. The other fired his Lightning jutsu into the Water, electrifying it.

A smile formed on Fujin's face, 'This isn't like that Noodle Thief. These guys are strong.'

Fujin gathered a huge amount of chakra. For the first time in a long while, he showed off his entire chakra. The sudden spike in his chakra gained the attention of the Uchihas around him. They were about to do multiple flickers when they felt Fujin's chakra spiking.

Mieko looked at him and wondered, 'When did his chakra grow so much? It is almost as high as some of the Jounins in my clan.'

Akihiko and Masaru were shocked as well. They both thought, 'What chakra! It's almost as if he is from the Senju or Uzumaki clan!'

Akihiko thought, 'If he doesn't get involved in the coup, then his future will be very bright.'

While Masaru thought, 'Shit, his chakra level isn't far away from my own level!'

Fujin rapidly converted his chakra into the wind element.

'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough Jutsu'

He exhaled a huge wind. It hit the incoming electrocuted water wave. The high-speed winds halted the water wave. It pierced into the wave and neutralized the electric charges within it. However, the water wave also absorbed the winds and didn't allow them to move towards the Jashinists.

Both jutsus neutralized each other. The water fell down on the ground and spread slowly in all directions. Fujin's jutsu also raised a huge dust cover over the battlefield.

Seeing the opportunity, Fujin began forming a couple of Vacuum Bullets. He could sense their positions accurately. He was about to shoot out the Vacuum bullets when his eyes widened! He and the Uchihas immediately flickered away.

A fraction of a second after they flickered, dozens of blood drops passed through their previous location at a very fast speed! Fujin frowned, 'Shit! That bastard used the same tactic! And was faster than me too!'

Zankoku had the same idea as Fujin. He too used the chaos created by the two wide-range jutsus to sneak attack. Unfortunately, all the Konoha ninjas had very good senses. So his sneak attack didn't have any effect.

After flickering, Masaru weaved hand signs and slammed his hands on the ground.

'Earth Release: Ground Splitting Jutsu'

The ground in between them began cracking. As a result, all the water due to the earlier jutsu began draining into the ground. Fujin observed it and thought, 'Nice. Fighting a Lightning user over water would have been annoying.'

As soon as the water began draining, Akihiko weaved hand signs.

'Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears Jutsu'

Masaru's jutsu had loosened up the ground. Akihiko took advantage of it. Hundreds of stone spears began appearing on the ground. In an instant, they were launched at the Jashinists.

The faces of the Jashinists became grim. They realized, 'First that massive Wind Jutsu. Now back to back large-scale Earth jutsus. These guys aren't weak!'

Blood immediately began gathering around Zankoku.

At the same time, one of the Priests weaved hand signs and extended his arms forward.

'Lightning Release: Static Wave Jutsu'

A lightning current was released from his palms in all directions forming a net. The incoming stone spears hit it. Almost all the stone spears crumbled. The rest slowed down. The Priest smirked, 'Earth jutsus are very weak against Lightning.'

However, the debris was still headed towards the Jashinists. But, a blood dome formed around the Jashinists. The stones and pebbles were about to hit the dome when hundreds of needle-shaped blood drops were launched in all directions from the dome. They pierced through the stones spears and debris, reducing or halting their momentum as well as attacking the Konoha ninjas.

The Konoha ninjas dodged once again. Fujin, who had to stop creating Vacuum Bullets once again, frowned. He thought, 'Shit! This bastard keeps attacking even while defending. It restricts my ability to use sneak attacks successfully!'

Mieko noticed Fujin's frown and commented with a smirk, "Now you know how I and Hoka feel while fighting you."

Fujin replied, "Pass smart comments later. Any idea how to deal with them? I'm afraid we will run out of chakra faster than that bloody priest!"

Even before Fujin completed his statement, both Akihiko and Masaru flickered towards the blood dome. While moving, they tapped a scroll holding pocket on their jacket and retrieved a scroll each. At the same moment, both weaved the same hand signs.

'Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation'

They opened the scroll. The scroll transformed into hundreds of Explosive Tags with Fire Release Technique which were launched at the Blood Dome in the blink of an eye. The explosive tags began exploding as soon as they hit the dome. The explosions released a huge amount of fire that wrecked the dome and allowed the remaining explosive tags to enter the dome.

Fujin saw the damage and wondered, 'Is this a variation of Tobirama's jutsu? I wonder what Tobirama would think if Uchihas are so good with a Jutsu he created. That said, he did have an Uchiha student.'

The Jashnists immediately moved backwards. However, Akihiko and Masaru controlled the explosive tags and aimed at them. They aimed the explosive tags such that they would have to separate from each other. The explosions forced them even further from each other.

Fujin and Mieko were watching them carefully. As soon as their target was separated from the other two Jashinists, Fujin flickered in front of him. The Priest was surprised to see him. He was about to attack when Fujin blew very strong winds straight at him. Facing such a wide-range jutsu at such a close range meant that the Priest couldn't dodge the attack.

The winds hit him head-on and sent him flying and rolling backwards for more than a hundred meters! Multiple cuts appeared on the body of the Priest. In addition, getting dragged along the ground caused him even more minor wounds. Despite the wounds, the Priest got in a fighting stance right away!

However, his opponent wasn't just Fujin. As soon as he got up his position was showered by Shurikens. The Priest immediately moved, but Mieko flickered in front of him.

'Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu'

The Priest saw a giant Fireball heading towards him. He frowned, 'These kids are relentless. I need to take the initiative back!'

He quickly made hand signs.

'Lightning Release: False Darkness Jutsu'

He fired a Lightning Spear at the incoming Fireball. The Lightning Spear pierced through the center of the Fireball and dispersed it. However, the Priest had no time to celebrate. Mieko was no longer behind the Fireball and Fujin had appeared right next to him and was swinging his sword at him.

The Priest stepped behind and pulled out a black colored retractable spear. It was a spear he used during rituals. As he moved it to block Fujin's sword, Lightning began flowing through it. The Sword and the spear clashed!

The Priest was expecting Fujin to be electrocuted. However, his eyes widened as he saw Fujin's sword cut through his spear. Realizing the danger, the Priest leaned backwards. Displaying excellent flexibility, the Priest almost leaned parallel to the ground by bending at his knees and leaning backwards completely. Fujin's sword slash went from above him. Even the winds alongside the slash didn't hit the Priest due to how well the Priest moved! A sword slash cut through the grass for over a hundred meters without hurting anyone.

As soon as the sword slash passed, the Priest kicked at Fujin. Fujin, who was planning to bring his sword down, kicked his leg. Not wanting to face his sword in close range, the Priest used the force of Fujin's kick to fly backwards. Fujin followed his kick with a vertical slash with his sword at his opponent who was still in the air.

Seeing the attack, the Priest dug the half-cut spear into the ground and used it as a base to move out of the line of attack. Mieko, who was watching his every movement with her Sharingans, realized the direction where he would be dodging. She launched multiple kunais with explosive tags at the place where he would land.

However, the Priest noticed the attack and extended his arms at them. Lightning sparks were released from his palms. They hit the explosive tags and disarmed them. They also slowed down the kunais and just side-stepped them.

Fujin and Mieko were about to press on the attack once again but they halted after seeing their enemy's actions. Lightning had once again gathered in the palms of the Priest without any hand signs. He slammed his hands on the ground. Lightning was discharged in a radius of 25 meters around him!

Mieko immediately flickered behind Fujin who casually swung his sword and sent out a wind wave that neutralized the Lightning discharge heading around him.

The Priest looked at his two opponents and took a deep breath. At last, he had broken their initiative! He said, "This one never expected that he would be pushed so much by little kids like you. Lord Jashin would be very pleased when this one sacrifices you to him."

Fujin and Mieko's eyes twitched as they thought, 'This one? Who the hell speaks like that?'

However, without replying, both Fujin and Mieko pressed on the attack once again. The Priest, who had just found some respite, was once again in a tough situation!
