Naruto - The Wind Calamity (2)

Chapter 203 : Counterattack

Fujin hadn't been with this group for long. Even though he didn't like to lose a teammate here, his focus was still on escaping. His mind was rapidly calculating ways to escape from his horrible situation. However, the other 3 had been with Tadashi for years. Their eyes grew red in rage!

Tamotsu yelled while weaving hand signs, "Since you want to kill us, I'll take as many of you with me as I can!"

'Fire Release: Burning Ash'

He spewed a stream of chakra-infused ash from his mouth. It spread in all directions but had a small space at the center where the four Konoha ninjas stood.

The Kumo ninjas tried approaching but moved away immediately on seeing the flammable ash spreading in the area. A few launched Lightning and Water jutsus into it. However, in the next second, Tamotsu lit a fire in the ash and the entire smokescreen blew up!

The explosion cancelled out every jutsu aimed at them. Two Kumo ninjas were just outside the range of the explosion. They were hit with stones and sticks, causing some injuries.

The Kumo ninjas were preparing for another round of attack when suddenly, the fire caused by the explosion increased threefold in size and intensity and began spreading out at a rapid speed! Fujin had released an Infinite Breakthrough jutsu in all directions causing the Fire to spread rapidly.

The Kumo ninjas weren't expecting that. All 20 ninjas were too close to perform any jutsu or run away. They were hit by the fire. The ones who were hiding in the forest quickly retreated or used defensive jutsus.

Kumogakure advisor Hari, who was hidden in the forest, muttered, "They have a strong Wind user. Be careful of him."

The three who were with him nodded. They didn't expect the Konoha ninjas to hit back so fiercely.

At the center, where there was no fire, Tamotsu said, "We will use the chaos caused by this Fire to escape."

Ryota opposed, "But Tadashi..."

Tamotsu cut him off, "Tadashi wouldn't want us to follow him so soon. We will live and take our revenge another day. Hokage-sama will surely create a unit to take back the mine."

Ryota unwillingly nodded.

Fujin said, "It won't be easy. There are at least 30 more ninjas out there. And I can feel that a few more are hiding in my chakra field."

Tamotsu said, "We will give them another Fire-Wind combination jutsu. Hopefully, that will deter them."

Fujin nodded. He thought, 'I hope that will work. Unfortunately, I have a bad feeling about this. Some of the chakras I sensed are much stronger than any of us.'

Screams of pain could be heard as the fire burned their flesh. 8 Kumo ninjas couldn't endure and collapsed. They would soon be cooked inside out and meet their death. The other 12 quickly escaped from the fire and began dousing the fire burning them. Though they survived and weren't fatally injured, they wouldn't be able to fight properly anymore. They were in terrible pain from having their flesh burnt. Many of their delicate organs like eyes and ears were damaged as well.

The other Kumo ninjas were disturbed by seeing this sight. The situation changed too abruptly. One second they had a complete advantage, while in the next second their whole 20-man unit was defeated!

Finding the exact moment, Tamotsu said, "Now!"

All four flickered instantly. They were planning to use this chaos to escape. Once they managed to get out of the encirclement, the Kumo ninjas wouldn't want to chase them through the lands of another country.
