The act of beheading Juzo imdiately gained everyone's attention. Despite working with him for over a year, Fujin's squad were still surprised to see Fujin kill off such a fearso ninja so quickly. After all, though Fujin had fought with Roshi and Kitsuchi in the past, he hadn't succeeded in killing any of them.
Of course, the one who was shocked the most was Kisa. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Impossible!"
Had Juzo managed to hold on for a few seconds, Kisa would have been able to rescue him and force Fujin to retreat. However, to Kisa's disbelief, Juzo didn't last for even a short while.
So distance away, White Zetsu said, "He is indeed scary. Poor Juzo was so helpless."
Black Zetsu agreed and added, "Yeah. He also used him as a trap to hit Kisa. Had Kisa not been careful, he would have been hit by the explosions as well. In that case, he could have tried to kill them both."
Black Zetsu's mind quickly began calculating why Juzo suffered a loss so quickly.
Despite the achievent of killing such a high-level ninja, Fujin didn't get lost in it. Instead, at the very next mont, he opened up a scroll, sealed Juzo's body and quickly moved towards his head.
However, multiple jets of water were launched at him suddenly. At the sa ti, water was moving towards him like a Tsunami. Fujin's team and his clones were already retreating. Fujin was about to seal Juzo's head when a water jet hit Juzo's head and pierced into his brain, destroying it from the inside.
Fujin frowned and retreated. He looked at Kisa. Annoyance could be seen in his eyes, but it was just an act. Though taking Juzo's head would seem like Konoha would get a lot of information and would benefit heavily, it was actually extrely counterproductive.
Itachi was a spy Hiruzen sent to Akatsuki. So he already had a lot of information about the Akatsuki without the Akatsuki, except Obito, knowing about it. As for Fujin, he was the person who was the most clear about what Akatsuki was, who their mbers were and what their goals were.
So any information that Juzo might have was borderline useless for both Fujin and Konoha. On the contrary, Akatsuki would know that Konoha had a lot of information about them. So they could be forced to make a move on Konoha and effectively change the future to a large degree.
It was sothing that Fujin didn't want to see. That is why he first sealed Juzo's body and used a storage scroll to seal his body instead of one of the many storage seals on his bracer to waste so ti without making anyone suspicious of his actions. It warned Kisa and gave him an opportunity to destroy Juzo's head.
As they retreated, the massive amount of water kept following them like a Tsunami. Fujin said softly, "Back up."
He imdiately began building up his chakra. His clones and teammates imdiately felt a massive amount of chakra from him. While his teammates would usually be very impressed, at that mont, the chakra that Fujin built up was much less than Kisa's. Regardless, everyone prepared themselves too.
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
'Wind Release: Air Bullet jutsu'
'Fire Release: Searing Migraine jutsu'
'Lightning Release: False Darkness jutsu'
Almost at the sa ti, Fujin and his team launched their attacks. Fujin led with a massive Infinite Breakthrough jutsu. Bunjiro couldn't use Water jutsus while his Wind jutsus were far weaker than Fujin's. So he just shot a few Air Bullets in his attack.
Yugao shot her Fireball on one side of the Infinite Breakthrough while Fumito launched his Lightning jutsu on the other side. They were followed up by Fujin's Wind Clones who exhausted all their remaining chakra and launched Vacuum jutsus into the combination attack.
The massive combination attack combined seamlessly and hit the incoming Tsunami that Kisa had started! The intense winds put a stop to the water's montum temporarily and even forced so of it backwards. So sharp winds pierced into the water but couldn't travel far within it.
The fire evaporated a lot of water but wasn't very effective considering the large amount of water. Only Fumito's Lightning spears managed to enter the water and electrify it. However, Kisa created layers within the water and controlled their flow to keep the electrified water away.
The Vacuum jutsus shot by Fujin's clones pierced into the water easily and moved towards Kisa. However, due to the disturbance they caused in the water, Kisa could easily see and dodge them.
Sweat gathered behind Fujin and his team's masks. Despite the four of them attacking together, they were only evenly matched with Kisa. In fact, so water had already begun moving towards them through the intense winds!
Fujin analyzed, 'This guy is nuts! Kiri was crazy to use him rely to kill his teammates. He is already in a whole different league as compared to soone like Juzo.'
Though Fujin was already aware of how strong Kisa would be by the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War, he was interested in checking how strong he already was. His observation made him very unwilling to fight Kisa so far away from Konoha.
Fujin decided, 'It's ti to retreat. But running away from him will be difficult if he doesn't intend to let us off. Even though I'm faster at escaping, the other 3 won't be able to shake him off. Sigh, I'll have to expose my summons as well.'
Fujin was about to summon Kaito when he suddenly sensed sothing. A look of surprise appeared behind his mask as he wondered, 'What are they doing here?'
He suddenly put over 10% of his chakra into the Infinite Breakthrough jutsu. The sudden infusion of chakra into the jutsu powered it up considerably, causing it to force its way through the water Kisa was controlling.
His actions surprised Kisa and his teammates. Kisa retreated backwards while wondering, 'What is he intending? Though he forced back, such a chakra expenditure will be very disadvantageous for him.'
Suddenly, 3 Shadow Clones, each with 10% of his maximum chakra appeared around Fujin. At the sa ti, a seal lit up on his bracer and 600 Explosive Tags appeared in front of him. He said, "Retreat!"
Fujin's teammates, who weren't able to understand the reason behind his actions, imdiately flickered in the opposite direction along with Fujin. They finally guessed the reason behind Fujin's actions and wondered, 'Does he intend to delay Kisa long enough that we escape his detection range? But why is he still keeping his chakra field active? And why did we fight first if he wanted to withdraw?'
Unlike Fujin, his teammates weren't aware of Zetsu's existence and his abilities. Due to Zetsu, Fujin knew that escaping like usual wasn't possible. The only way to escape was by either deterring Kisa from chasing them or flying away.
Unfortunately for them, Fujin didn't bother clearing their doubts. He consud a soldier pill and said, "We will keep running until we reach Konoha. No breaks. And at least one of us will keep chakra fields active at any given ti. If any more strong enemies appear, we will avoid them."
His teammates nodded and kept moving at a fast speed.
Back on the battlefield, Fujin's Shadow Clones controlled the explosive tags and rained them down towards Kisa in waves. Kisa imdiately spat out more water to douse those explosions.
As he did, he realized, 'Despite having so many tags, he is only using a few in every wave. He wants to delay until he can get out of the range. It looks like he doesn't know about Zetsu's abilities.'
Kisa didn't mind wasting so ti to defeat the Shadow Clones. He could find Fujin easily with Zetsu's aid. He blocked all the waves of the explosive tags and then rode a water wave to move closer to Fujin's clones.
Fujin's clones analyzed, 'This might be a good ti to test so of Kisa's abilities. For instance, would contact with the sword imdiately pop up a Shadow Clone due to its ability to suck chakra?'
One of the clones flickered and appeared on top of Kisa. Chakra concentrated on his fist as he punched Kisa. Kisa imdiately raised his sword to block the punch. The chakra gathered around the clone's fist was easily absorbed by the sword.
Despite that, when the clone's punch landed on the sword, Kisa felt an intense force. Had he been weaker, he would have been forced under the water.
As soon as his fist landed on the sword, the sword began absorbing his chakra. The clone analyzed, 'Hmm, so the clone won't be dispelled in an instant. I guess it will only happen after it sucks away enough energy.'
As he was analyzing, sharp scales broke through the bandages and hit the clone's hand. Fujin's clone imdiately used Iron Skin jutsu to harden his fist, however, the chakra the sword absorbed caused his jutsu to fade away instantly and created deep cuts in his arm, dispelling him.
