Chapter 723 : One Jutsu to Suppress Them All!

Sakumo unleashed over a hundred rays of lightning which approached Fujin's group from different directions as he warned loudly, "Be careful. I can feel that my body is programmed to focus on killing you, Fujin. If you fall, my blade will turn towards other Konoha ninjas. Anyone who gets in my way will be attacked as well. I will try to resist as much as I can, but prepare yourself."

Fujin's Wind Cloak transformed into winds and intercepted the lightning rays. At the same time, it recreated the Wind Domain around him. The remaining reanimated ninjas, who were charging towards Fujin's group, immediately stopped and retreated before the winds could engulf them.

Kaminari questioned, "What are those winds?"

Haku wondered aloud, "Can he control the winds in that dome? That's incredible. I have never seen anyone use Wind Release in this manner."

Zabuza, Juzo, Shirogane and Sakumo looked in surprise as well. Despite spending years on the battlefield fighting all kinds of ninjas, none of them had seen anything like that.

At the center of the Wind Domain, Guy asked, "What do we do now? Should I use…"

He was cut off by Renjiro, who replied, "The Eight Inner Gates technique is too risky against the Edo Tensei. Even if their bodies are destroyed, they will reform. It'll depend on whether they can be sealed before they reform. Fujin, you should be able to seal them, right?"

Once they were destroyed, sealing a reanimated ninja wasn't a difficult job. Even SealMasters could do so if they had learnt the appropriate sealing methods. As a Grandmaster, Fujin obviously could do it as well. In fact, he had several methods to do so.

Fujin nodded and replied, "Sealing them wouldn't be an issue. However, it'll be better to save your technique for later in case Orochimaru has other arrangements. At the very least, don't open the latter gates which would slow you down."

Guy nodded. While their enemy was strong, the situation wasn't bad enough to take huge risks. Considering Orochimaru's methods, Fujin's words seemed appropriate. Hoka, the last person in their group, activated his Byakugan and asked, "So, how do we deal with them?"

Kakashi replied, "Fighting them together will be troublesome. Due to their bodies, they won't be concerned with friendly fire. We won't have that luxury and could be put in a difficult situation."

Renjiro added, "That is correct. The best way to deal with them would be to split them up."

Fujin agreed as well and said, "Alright, I'll use winds to split them up. Which opponents do you guys want?"

Kakashi was the first one to reply, "I'll take on my father…"

Without missing a beat, Fujin questioned, "You sure? We won't be able to back you up if things go wrong…"

Needless to say, Fujin wanted to take Sakumo on. As per his initial calculation, Guy, Kakashi, Renjiro and Hoka would take on Shirogane, Kaminari, Juzo and Zabuza respectively while a Jounin restricted Haku. Once he sealed Sakumo, Fujin could team up with others to seal everyone up one by one.

However, Kakashi replied resolutely, "I am. Father isn't as strong as he was when he was alive. In addition, he is resisting Orochimaru's control. I can restrain him."

Even though Kakashi spent the month training Sasuke, he also started to take his own training more seriously after his encounter with Kabuto. At the same time, he wanted to take this chance to talk with his father.

Everyone understood it and hence no one opposed Kakashi. Fujin glanced at others and asked, "Well, what about you guys?"

Guy was about to answer when his eyes widened and he shouted, "Careful!"

Even though the appearance of the Wind Domain surprised them, it didn't intimidate them enough to stop them from making a move. In fact, with their immortal bodies, they didn't particularly fear Wind jutsus as much as the living.

Seeing the Konoha ninjas planning, all six reanimated ninjas riled their chakra and attacked.

'Lightning Release: False Darkness jutsu'

'Water Release: Great Waterfall jutsu'

'Water Release: Exploding Water Wave jutsu'

'Lightning Release: Lightning Storm jutsu'

Kaminari, Juzo, Zabuza and Sakumo attacked with supercharged long-range jutsus to see what the Wind Domain could do. Haku attacked at the same time and launched hundreds of ice needles into the domain. As for Shirogane, he directly rushed into the domain without any regard for the domain.

Kakashi and others were about to act when Fujin said, "It's fine, they can't break my technique this easily. Which ones will you take on?"

Kakashi, Guy, Renjiro and Hoka looked at Fujin in surprise. Any single attack would force them to take evasive action or use a defensive jutsu. Not to mention, the former Kaguya clan leader was running straight at them. However, Fujin didn't even give them a second glance.

Kaminari's massive Lightning spears pierced into the Wind Domain and moved towards Fujin's group from the back. In front of them, a Lightning storm had appeared and clashed with the Wind Domain.

A young Konoha Chunin exclaimed in shock, "He used a Wind and Lightning combination jutsu so effortlessly!"

Even Fujin was impressed with Sakumo's display. It was his first time seeing someone use Lightning and Wind together so flawlessly. Despite that, the ones who were surprised were Sakumo and Kaminari.

Several wind blades appeared out of thin air and bombarded the lightning spears. Not even a spark reached Fujin and the rest! As for the Lightning storm, it slowed down as soon as it clashed with the Wind Domain. The winds from the Wind Domain infiltrated into the storm and moved in the opposite direction at a rapid speed, nullifying it entirely within seconds!

A Suna ninja muttered in disbelief, "What the hell? How did that massive Lightning storm disappear so suddenly? Did White Fang stop his own jutsu?"

The ninja next to him said, "Forget that! Look at the insane number of wind blades that appeared out of thin air. I now understand how an entire division suddenly dropped dead. That region is a death zone!"

Unlike the weaker ninjas, Baki had a grave expression. He thought, 'His control over wind is ridiculous! To think that massive combination jutsu would be neutralized this easily! That wind technique is troublesome. In fact, it is stronger than every Wind jutsu in Sunagakure!'

Considering that Sunagakure was supposed to have the best users of Wind Release, Fujin's display was quite humiliating for the Sunagakure ninjas. However, most of them didn't register that as they were more concerned about whether they'd make it out alive.

While the Lightning storm was being neutralized, Juzo's and Zabuza's jutsus hit the Wind Domain. However, strong winds were suddenly unleashed in the opposite direction from the Wind Domain. The water flow was stopped before being sent back in their direction.

At the same time, hundreds of mini wind blades appeared in the wind domain and blocked every ice needle Haku launched.

Just when the 5 jutsus had been stopped, Shirogane entered the Wind Domain boldly. A bone armor appeared under his skin as he noticed the wind blades blocking other jutsus. As soon as he entered the wind domain, hundreds of cuts appeared on his body, stripping his body of nearly all his skin!

Even so, Shirogane laughed loudly and continued moving forward. Hundreds of cuts appeared on his bones but none managed to pierce through. Only some scars were left, but they couldn't slow him down. However, his laughter suddenly stopped as a giant palm, made of winds, formed around him and stopped him. In the blink of an eye, he was pinned to the ground!

While Fujin dealt with the attacks, everyone quickly began deciding their opponents.

Guy said, "I'll take the Kaguya."

However, Renjiro said, "No, I'll take on Shirogane. I had fought against him during the previous war. I won't have much difficulty in restricting him for a while. You take on Zabuza. Unlike me, you should be able to suppress him easily. Hoka, take on the Ice user."

Guy and Hoka agreed. Fujin glanced at Juzo and Kaminari and thought, 'So, time to face these two again, huh? Well, it should be interesting. It'll allow me to see how far I have come…'

Renjiro continued, "You'll have to take on those two, Fujin."

Fujin replied, "Alright."

While they planned, the onlookers were shocked. A Suna ninja dropped his kunai and questioned in disbelief, "Did he just suppress all six of them alone?"

A Konoha ninja exclaimed, "Holy crap! Fujin is cool! Look how he is holding down that Kaguya ninja!"

Another asked, "Didn't you say that he was a rank S ninja? Look how helpless he is against Councilman Fujin!"

The older Konoha ninjas were just left speechless. They recalled how they tried to warn Fujin earlier. And now, Fujin was holding him down without even glancing at him.

Baki gulped his saliva nervously as well. With a grim expression, he thought, 'Impossible! He blocked the full power attacks of a rank S ninja, 3 Elite Jounins and a Kekkei Genkai wielder and suppressed another rank S ninja with the same technique! How is this technique so powerful? How can we even counter it?'
