Chapter 99: Chapter 97 : Wind Vs Water
Immediately, Fujin threw a Wind Explosion jutsu at Rentaro. Rentaro muttered, "So predictable." He threw a kunai with an explosion tag attached.
Both Rentaro and Fujin retreated. The explosion tag exploded, dispersing the Wind Explosion jutsu. While retreating, Rentaro released a massive amount of chakra. He made a few hand signs, 'Water Dragon jutsu'
He expected Fujin to attack, but there was no attack. He wondered, 'What is he doing?'
The Water Dragon formed while the smokescreen by the explosion dispersed.
However, Rentaro could no longer see Fujin. He got worried, 'Did this bastard escape into the ground?' He immediately looked in the waiting room at Yumi.
As soon as Yumi noticed him looking at her, she looked at the woods. Rentaro followed her eyes and looked at the woods. He noticed Fujin standing casually on one of the branches. Before the match began, Rentaro had requested Yumi to communicate to him where Fujin was if he hid underground or created a lot of clones. Yumi had agreed.
Rentaro scowled, 'When did this bastard run over there? It's fucking 100 meters away! I thought I was the one who needed to keep my distance from his sword. So why is he the one creating distance instead?'
As soon as Fujin sensed Rentaro building up his chakra, Fujin flickered into the woods behind him. He looked at the Water Dragon, 'Hoh, 10 meters long Water Dragon. Pretty impressive size for a Water Dragon jutsu. Looks like he poured 5% of his chakra into it. I kinda hoped he put more due to being riled up.'
Rentaro controlled the Water Dragon to fly towards Fujin. Its size began shrinking due to having to move such a long distance. Fujin raised his right hand and began making a giant Wind Explosion sphere. He smirked, 'Oh well, time to rile him even more. Hopefully, he'll use an even bigger jutsu.'
He threw the giant Wind Explosion sphere at the Water Dragon's mouth. It exploded on impact, and the winds generated were enough to neutralize the jutsu.
Ibiki smiled on seeing this, "Impressive. Neutralizing a rank B jutsu with a rank D jutsu, while disturbing his opponent's mental state."
As Ibiki said, Rentaro looked very annoyed. Immediately, a massive chakra could be sensed from him by even ordinary people. Hoka and Mieko activated their doujutsus to watch Rentaro. Fujin smirked, 'Hehe. Just as I thought.'
However, unlike what Fujin and most others thought, Rentaro hadn't lost his reasoning. He analyzed, 'I practiced the whole month on how to engage you from a distance. Since you have voluntarily created distance, I don't have to worry about your sword.'
Rentaro made a few hand signs. 'Water Release : Raging River Flood jutsu!'
A massive amount of water appeared in front of him, rising to 20 meters in the air! All the Konoha ninjas were shocked! Genma commented, "That's a rank A jutsus! Is he just a genin?"
Fujin was surprised as well. He wondered, 'Who exactly is this guy? Did Kisame have a son?'
The water moved towards Fujin at a rapid speed. Anyone who saw it would feel like a Tsunami is approaching. The wave was around 15 meters in height, and it was wide enough to cover all the trees inside the arena.
Four kunai appeared in Fujin's hands. At the same time, he began building up chakra. He threw the four kunai at equal distances from each other. They hit the wave 5 meters from the ground and exploded.
The explosions broke the momentum of the wave. But it still kept approaching Fujin.
Fujin made a hand sign while pretending that he needed to make a hand sign.
'Wind Release : Great Breakthrough jutsu'
Fujin supercharged his jutsu with 3% of his maximum chakra. It created massive and incredibly strong winds. They halted the wave and even reversed its flow to an extent. The winds also carried some water into the stands, providing most of the audience with a free cold water bath. Some of the audience got very annoyed and began yelling. While the rest were yelling in excitement about seeing such huge jutsus.
Most of the chunins and jounins from Konoha were left tongue-tied at how such a massive jutsu was used and how easily it was defended against. Renjiro smiled on seeing Fujin's performance.
Rentaro, who was moving through the water intending to catch Fujin by surprise suddenly stopped. He was shocked, 'I expected that the jutsu wouldn't harm him, but I never even considered that he would put a stop to it! The water didn't make it into those trees at all!'
Rentaro stayed in the water until the winds died down. He was frowning and calculating how to attack further. He had used up over a third of his chakra but didn't manage to even touch his opponent. While thinking, he was on high alert in case Fujin tried any sneak attack.
Fujin noticed Rentaro moving ahead through the water. His chakra was very easy to notice. He focused on his location thinking, 'Attacking him with all the water around him will be difficult. But his momentum has been destroyed. Should I attack and build my momentum? Or should I just waste time and wait for his chakra to run out?'
Fujin thought while he waited for his attack to die down. Perhaps, if it was before he spent the month doing combat drills with Renjiro, Fujin would have chosen the latter without giving it much thought. However, Renjiro had successfully managed to change the way Fujin thought and fought over the month. He couldn't change his careful nature but Fujin now had learnt many ways to attack while still ensuring safety. More importantly, his confidence was built by fighting against an Elite Jounin for a month!
Fujin made a hand sign and began supercharging his jutsu. As soon as the winds began dying down, Fujin flickered! He appeared ten meters above Rentaro. Water in this area was up to 4 meters above the ground level. Rentaro was in the center of it. Renjiro smiled when he saw Fujin pressing on his attack.
As soon as Fujin flickered over his head, Rentaro noticed. He also saw the hand sign Fujin had made. He yelled, "CRAP!!!" Fujin instantly breathed out an even stronger Great Breakthrough jutsu.
Rentaro waved his arms. The water around him gathered on top of him acting as a shield. His thoughts ran as quickly as Lightning, 'I can't dodge this! If I leave the protection of water, I'll be taking the full force of this attack!'
The winds easily broke into the water. The majority of the water began flying away. Inoichi, who was observing, suddenly got alert. He yelled, "Fujin, hold back!"
He made hand signs while moving ahead. However, he was too slow!
The supercharged great breakthrough jutsu hit Rentaro head-on! He quickly made a hand sign just before the jutsu hit him.
The crowd watched in horror as Rentaro was split into many small pieces! Many yelled in terror! Some vomited, while a few even lost consciousness. Fujin's eyes widened as well.
