Chapter 264: Chapter 261 : Salvaging the Food Supplies!
[A/N : Hey guys. This chapter is Sponsored by Artjokia. You can thank Artjokia for the triple release.]
Fujin spent a few hours studying the seals on one section of the wall. Due to hiding his chakra and the massive length of the wall, he wasn't detected or seen by anyone.
Finally, the Sun rose. And at the same time, a smile appeared on Fujin's face. He muttered, "It's cracked!"
He summarized, 'These seals are inscribed by a Grandmaster. However, the wall is huge. Whoever inscribed it wasn't very dedicated and did the bare minimum to ensure the safety of the city. However, even if he had been serious, I would have managed to break through. Though I would have needed a lot more time. Hmm, maybe while I return, I should swing by the Wind Capital and leave a few clones to try to break through the seals there. It would be a good test.'
Fujin entered the city and transformed into one of the people he saw in Wind Capital. Fujin didn't waste much time and directly began visiting the important locations. He thought to himself, 'Four ninjas were at the gates. There should be 28 more ninjas in the city. I wonder if they are also deployed or are resting in the city.'
Fujin's guess was accurate. The ninjas in the city were divided into 3 groups. The first group of 12 ninjas were responsible for keeping an eye on the city gates in 8-hour shifts. The next group of 12 ninjas were also responsible for protecting two crucial locations. The last group of 8 ninjas and one Elite Jounin would stay on standby in case an emergency occurred.
Of course, due to how peaceful the city was, every one of them had gotten complacent. Fujin walked towards his target. Soon, a huge fortified structure with sturdy walls that were designed to withstand not only the harsh desert conditions but also any attack by enemy ninjas became visible. This sturdy structure was one of the two Provision Depots in Sabakuetsu. It stored a vast amount of harvested food grains and other food items that could be stored. These depots served as a Lifeline for the entire Western region of the country!
Fujin didn't sense any chakra field active around him or the Provision Depot. So chakra gathered in his eyes and observed inside the depot. He observed, 'So this place has only two ninjas. I guess the other depot also has 2 ninjas overlooking them. But what exactly are these guys doing? I can feel that both of them are very tense.'
Fujin was curious, but he didn't care much. He decided, 'It doesn't matter. They are only chunins.'
His expression became serious as he observed the seals inscribed on the depot walls. He muttered to himself, 'The seals are much better than outside city walls. And I can't keep studying this one for hours. Looks like it's time for the Dynamic Entry.'
Chakra gathered around his fist. The people who were walking around him were surprised and immediately looked towards Fujin. They noticed that his right fist was glowing. One kid said, "Mom look! His hand is glowing!"
Another kid asked, "How can I do that, Mom?"
The people were just normal civilians. They hadn't seen ninjas in action. Suddenly, Fujin disappeared. Though the walls had very good protection, the same couldn't be said about the doors. Fujin punched the door and smashed it into pieces.
The two Suna ninjas inside the depot were playing a game of cards. Suddenly, they heard a loud noise and felt the entire depot shaking. The noise generated by the impact of the punch travelled hundreds of meters through the city. The people who were watching the glowing fist curiously became terrified. They immediately ran away. At the same time, the Elite Jounin and the other ninjas in the city became alert. 14 ninjas along with the Elite Jounin immediately began moving towards the depot.
The two ninjas inside the depot got up and grabbed their kunai. However, Fujin flickered next to one of them. The ninja immediately swung his kunai at Fujin, However, Fujin was much faster. A punch landed on the ninja's face and blew him up. Fujin had enhanced the punch with chakra as well.
Blood, flesh, bones and insides of the brain hit the face of the second ninja. His horror knew no bounds! One second he was playing a game of cards with his friend, and in the next second his friend's brain was blown up! Fortunately or unfortunately, his misery was short-lived. Fujin fired an Air Bullet through his throat and ended his life as well.
Fujin immediately flickered towards where the grains and other food items were stored. It was easy to find. Fujin knocked the door down and immediately spat a fireball on it. The entire room was lit on fire! However, this wasn't the only grain storage in the depot. There were 7 other such rooms. Fujin immediately began lighting them on fire as well.
The Elite Jounin appeared in front of the depot and was horrified to see smoke coming out of the depot! Fujin had set fire to 3 food storage facilities. Another ninja appeared next to him and asked, "Captain Hitoshi! What are your orders?"
Hitoshi quickly commanded, "There should be an intruder inside. I will douse the fire. You guys stop him. Don't let him set fire to every storage facility."
He immediately jumped in the smoke. 5 ninjas followed him in. The remaining Sunagakure ninjas in the city kept arriving every few seconds and went into the burning depot.
Fujin had set fire to 5 storage facilities when the Suna ninjas spotted him.
Hitoshi immediately made hand signs. 4 water clones appeared next to him. He and the water clones headed towards the 5 rooms from where smoke was appearing. The other ninja immediately ran towards Fujin.
One of the Jounins screamed hatefully, "How dare you burn the only source of food for the hundreds of thousands of people living here?"
Another ninja shouted in rage, "I will skin you alive!"
Two threw shurikens at Fujin while the other three weaved hand signs. Fujin dodged the shurikens, but the assault had just started.
'Wind Release: Air Bullet jutsu'
'Wind Release: Wind Gale Wolf jutsu'
'Wind Release: Wind Sword jutsu'
Eight Air Bullets, three Wind Wolves and multiple blades of wind moved one after another towards Fujin.
Chakra gathered in Fujin's eyes. He immediately flickered out of the way and dodged every air bullet.
He gathered chakra in his mouth.
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
He exhaled a wind current from his mouth. However, instead of the destructive attack, he exhaled an extremely gentle wind current.
The blades of winds entered the wind current and were redirected. They moved towards the doors of the remaining storage facilities and cut through them. Seeing their attack destroy portions of their food supply made their hearts ache in pain. At the same time, their hatred towards Fujin increased even more.
Lastly, the 3 Wolves entered the wind flow. However, the wind flow was too strong for them to continue. 1 dispersed directly while the remaining 2 were sent crashing into the walls and finally dispersed.
However, Fujin's position didn't improve much as 3 more Suna ninjas had arrived. Half of the eight ninjas were Jounins. Fujin's odds kept getting worse.
One of the Suna ninjas slammed his hands on the ground. Immediately the ground rose and interrupted the Wind flow he had created. Immediately, the remaining 7 ninjas pounced on Fujin. Dozens of shurikens and multiple wind jutsus were launched at Fujin. Fujin dodged while counterattacking, but the Suna ninjas kept attacking without carrying about their chakra reserves.
Fujin kept dodging as he sensed 4 more ninjas entering the depot. He frowned, 'Killing them in a short time isn't possible without using Vacuum jutsus. I need a distraction.'
He weaved a hand sign as he continued dodging the attacks.
'Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet jutsu'
At the same time, one of the Suna jounins too completed his hand signs.
'Wind Release: Wind Dragon jutsu'
Two massive 30 meters long dragons appeared in the depot. However, seeing the fire dragon made the Suna ninjas very nervous. The Wind Dragon collided with the Fire Dragon who didn't make any move.
The impact of the collision destroyed the fire dragon. The Suna ninjas were surprised at how quickly it was defeated. However, their eyes widened in horror as the Winds generated by the Wind Dragon carried the flames everywhere inside the depot. The doors to the storage facilities that were destroyed earlier let all the fire enter inside. The last remaining food grains that were safe inside the depot began burning!
The ninjas attacked while cursing Fujin with every foul word and curse they knew. However, Fujin kept dodging and counter-attacking without responding.
At the same time, Hitoshi and his clones doused the fire in all 5 rooms. However, their expressions weren't good. Hitoshi muttered, "Even though I doused the fire, all the food items have gotten wet. I am not sure how long it will last."
He and his clones left the rooms. Fujin noticed that the smoke coming from those 5 rooms had turned into water vapour. A smile appeared on Fujin's face as he decided, 'It's time.'
