Chapter 130 : The Interference of the Clones

The 10 Konoha and Yugakure ninjas chased after 9 rogue ninjas from Kirigakure.

Mitsuzuka noticed the enemy splitting up. He made a hand sign. 3 water clones formed around him. They dispersed in different directions.

Renjiro noticed them and made a hand sign too. 3 shadow clones appeared. They chased after the water clones.

Renjiro didn't mind this. His chakra was much larger than Mitsuzuka's chakra. And he was confident that the water clones won't be able to interfere in the fights with his students. As for the Yugakure ninjas, he didn't care much.

The first one to catch up to his prey was Fujin. Fujin was the 2nd one to flicker among the group. Only Renjiro was faster than him. In addition, Fujin's opponent was injured. He had a dozen needles stuck in his body. Fujin caught up with him with just 2 flickers.

On seeing him, he grabbed his sword and rushed at him. This rogue ninja was Imamura Seitaro. He didn't want to fight at close range due to the needles stuck in him. They limited his movements.

He made a few hand signs quickly, 'Water Release : Wild Water Wave jutsu'

A 5-meter tall and 20-meter wide wave of water appeared in front of Fujin. Fujin decided to take it head-on. Chakra flowed through Fujin's sword. He grabbed it with both his hands and swung it with a huge force.

A horizontal flying slash of wind chakra was sent. It slashed the wave and moved towards Seitaro. The accompanying winds completely dispersed his jutsu.

Seitaro was shocked! He had never seen a jutsu like this! He quickly jumped up thinking, 'What jutsu is this? I recall the Samurais sending flying slashes, but it was nothing like this!'

The slash passed from under him. It cut a lot of trees directly behind him. However, he wasn't uninjured. He was hit by the razor-sharp winds. Numerous cuts appeared on his body. Both his eyes were cut as well!

He yelled in pain and horror. In the next second, his heart was hit by an Air bullet. He fell down dead!

After the rogue ninjas escaped, the first ninja died in under 30 seconds! They would have never imagined such a result. Fujin created a shadow clone to seal and store his body. He grabbed the scroll and moved towards other targets.

While Fujin was fighting, the others were still chasing.

The three jounins successfully escaped into the sea. However, Renjiro and Tokuhei chased them into the seas.

Mieko and Hoka managed to intercept their targets before they entered the sea. They began fighting. However, they were restricted as they had to ensure that their opponent didn't escape into the sea.

All three of the chunins that Yugakure's chunins chased also entered the sea. They followed them.

The fight would have entered a deadlock, if not for two variables. The first one was Fujin, who killed his opponent in little time. The second variable was the water clones of Mitsuzuka.

Mitsuzuka had seen Renjiro stand with the 3 kids before the Yugakure ninjas arrived. He had speculated that those 3 were his students. His three water clones rushed towards Fujin, Hoka, and Mieko. Renjiro's shadow clones followed them.

Mieko's opponent was Nakane Motoyuki. He was an Elite Chunin who specialized in the Water element.

Mieko was faster than him. She and Motoyuki stepped on the beach at the same time. She threw 2 shurikens at him and another 2 shurikens to cut off his escape route to the sea.

Motoyuki easily blocked the 2 shurikens. He looked at Mieko with disdain. However, Mieko's eyes turned red. He immediately became very alert. The Sharingan was a nightmare in battle! He was about to escape to the sea when he noticed that the other 2 shurikens had wires attached. Mieko controlled those wires to redirect the shurikens at Motoyuki from the other side.

At the same time, she used Fireball jutsu.

Motoyuki moved to dodge the 2 shurikens. While moving, he used Water Wall jutsu to block the fireball.

The Fireball hit the Water Wall and steam spread through the region. Motoyuki immediately made a few hand signs. The mist began gathering in the region. Mieko frowned as she noticed the Mist getting formed.

She was about to make a move when she felt danger! She immediately moved to her right.

A water bullet passed through her previous location. If she hadn't moved, it would have hit her heart!

Mitsuzuka's water clone beat Renjiro's shadow clone in reaching this battlefield. However, it didn't accomplish anything as Mieko dodged it and Motoyuki couldn't take any advantage of the opening it provided.

Spikes formed under the Water clone. The water clone quickly moved out of the way. Renjiro's shadow clone had also appeared on this battlefield.

Mieko observed both with her Sharingans and realized that they were clones. Renjiro's clone made a few hand signs, 'Great Breakthrough jutsu.'

The jutsu cleared out all the mist and steam. While the jutsu was harmless, the water clone was vulnerable. He immediately used Water Wall jutsu to protect himself.

Renjiro's clone appeared next to Mieko. Mieko grinned. She hadn't had the opportunity to fight alongside Renjiro as an equal yet. Neither did Fujin or Hoka. She was sure that she was the first among her teammates.

Renjiro said, "While I am still here, we can fight even in water. I'll take care of it."

Mieko nodded and said, "Alright sensei!"

The 1v1 turned into 2v2. Both sides would be stuck in a deadlock.

The situation with Hoka was similar. He tried dominating with his Taijutsu, but his opponent managed to keep his distance. However, Vacuum Palm proved to be a huge challenge for him.

They were in a deadlock until Renjiro and Mitsuzuka's clones entered the battlefield. Due to Hoka's Byakugan, no sneak attack was possible. It just turned into a 2v2.

In the same way as Hoka and Mieko got attacked, the last water clone of Mitsuzuka went towards Fujin. Unfortunately for him, Fujin's fight was already over. He immediately sensed two chakra signatures moving towards him.

Fujin frowned, 'One chakra signature belongs to Renjiro. But it is much weaker. Should be a clone. Who is the other guy? Is it a clone too? Or a new enemy?'

Mitsuzuka's water clone frowned as well. He felt that he was sensed. He thought, 'His students are so fucking bothersome! All 3 have some sort of sensory abilities. How the fuck should I sneak attack them?'

The aspect that made Mitsuzuka a terrible enemy was his ability to make perfect sneak attacks. Unfortunately, that ability was almost made useless. He frowned thinking, 'I made the wrong choice. I should have gone after the fucking Yugakure ninjas.'

Not knowing who was coming, Fujin prepared the Air bullet jutsu. Knowing that a sneak attack would be useless, Mitsuzuka's water clone increased his speed to attack Fujin with full power. Renjiro's shadow clone increased his speed as well.

Renjiro's clones couldn't catch Mitsuzuka's clones as they moved in a random way to avoid Renjiro's clones. With Mitsuzuka's clone traveling in a straight line, Renjiro's clone was able to close the distance.

As soon as he appeared in view, Fujin recognized him. Seeing that it was an enemy, Fujin attacked with the Air Bullet jutsu. 7 air bullets were shot at and around Mitsuzuka's water clone.

Renjiro's shadow clone noticed the attack and moved out of the way. Mitsuzuka's clone also moved out of the way quickly. The jutsu barely missed him! Had it hit, the clone would have been dispelled.

Mitsuzuka's clone was confused. He thought, 'Why isn't anyone fighting with him? Did he stop chasing?'

However, the clone didn't think for long. He immediately made a few hand signs.

'Water Release : Waterfall Jutsu!'

A huge column of water crashed down towards Fujin. Fujin was annoyed, 'I can understand if his main body tried attacking me head-on. But a mere clone wants to take on me in Ninjutsu?'

A huge amount of chakra gathered on Fujin. Renjiro's clone smirked on noticing it. He made a few hand signs. Mitsuzuka's clone's eyes widened on sensing Fujin's huge chakra. Fujin supercharged his jutsu and launched it without making any hand signs.

'Wind Release : Great Breakthrough jutsu'

Fujin's supercharged Great Breakthrough jutsu hit Mitsuzuka's Waterfall jutsu. Though the Waterfall jutsu was two ranks higher, the amount of chakra the Water clone had was very limited. After all, Mitsuzuka made it to sneak attack and not to attack head-on.

The Great Breakthrough jutsu tore into the Waterfall jutsu and dispersed the water. The Water clone immediately used another jutsu.

'Water Release : Water Prison jutsu'

The Great Breakthrough jutsu hit the water prison. It was sent flying, but it held firm. Even so, the water clone had a grim expression. His chakra was almost over.

While the Great Breakthrough jutsu was dying down, an Earth spear appeared under the Water Prison. It pierced through it. The Water clone saw the Earth spear. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chakra to do anything about it.

He avoided it, but the Water Prison jutsu was dispelled. He looked at the winds of the Great Breakthrough jutsu and shouted, "Fucking hell!"

The Great Breakthrough jutsu hit and dispelled him.
