Naruto - The Wind Calamity (2)

Chapter 239 : Timeskip!

The 5 Taki ninjas stared at the Spectral Swordsman in front of them and gulped. His information began running through their mind. It was around 6 months ago when murmurs of a swordsman were being heard. It was said that he appeared and disappeared at will. It was said that his victims wouldn't even know when they were dead until they saw their headless bodies with their detached heads. According to the rumors, there were two features that were identified with the Spectral Swordsman. They were the Hawk mask he wore and two exquisite swords hanging on the right side of his waist.

The swordsman was soon called the 'Spectral Swordsman'. Among the minor villages, he was a menace! There were no records of anyone stopping him. Even against the major villages, his record was very good. He would eliminate his target and escape long before any reinforcements could arrive.

He was so efficient, that it took over 6 months for someone to actually see him in action! As soon as he was seen, rumors of his appearance spread quickly throughout the ninja world.

The ape-masked Anbu shouted, "Don't be shocked by his reputation! He is just one guy! Stay and fight together! Keep an eye out for his sneak attacks."

His words snapped everyone from their shock. They prepared themselves for an intense fight. Chakra flowed through the sword of the Spectral Swordsman as he swung it towards the 7 ninjas. A windstorm consisting of hundreds of sword slashes immediately engulfed the group.

The two Iwa Anbu ninjas immediately slammed their hands on the ground.

'Earth Release: Multiple Earth Walls Jutsu'

Immediately, dozens of walls of varying sizes appeared from the ground. They surrounded them from multiple sides. Having experienced the Vacuum Bullets, they didn't want to lock themselves in without any room for escaping.

The Windstorm hit the walls and left multiple slashes in the walls. But once again, the walls stood. Behind the wall, the Ape-masked Anbu shouted, "Keep an eye out for those wind bullets! And counterattack once these winds die down!"

Even without his warning, everyone was as alert as they could be.

The Spectral Swordsman noticed their defense. He opened his mouth and exhaled a horizontal wind wave. However, the core of this wind wave was made of vacuum!

The Vacuum Wave hit the walls and cut through them with ease. The enemy ninjas saw the wave and immediately jumped high up to dodge the wave. The wave safely passed from under them and cut off a bunch of trees before leaving a deep scar on the ground!

However, their troubles weren't over. As soon as they jumped to dodge the attack, the swordsman flickered next to them. They watched in horror as he swung his sword once again.

The one closest to him had no chance of dodging. His neck was sent flying in the air. Worse, the sword also sent a flying slash towards the rest of them. Three more Taki ninjas couldn't dodge or use any defensive jutsus and died to the slash. Only the Taki captain and the two Iwa Anbu were able to move out of the way.

The Iwa ninjas quickly got back on the ground while weaving hand signs. Elephant-masked Anbu slammed his hands on the ground.

'Earth Release: Mud River jutsu'

The ground in front of him turned into mud and flowed towards the Swordsman at a high speed. At the same time, the ape-masked Anbu completed his jutsu.

'Fire Release: Fire Dragon Jutsu'

He spat a fire dragon into the mud river. Both jutsus combined seamlessly and moved towards the swordsman ferociously. However, the swordsman just flickered out of the way and once again moved to their rear and attacked with his sword.
