Chapter 273: Chapter 270 : The Trap Springs!
The man was none other than the Elite Jounin, Odaka. He was hanging around the mansion under the disguise of an old man when he felt some chakra being used by Fujin. So he decided to check him out. However, Fujin gave him the answer spontaneously.
Odaka looked at another young man around him and asked once again, "Young man. I want to buy flowers for my wife. It's our anniversary. Can you tell me where the flower shop is?"
The boy politely answered, "Just enter this street. The 5th shop on the right is a flower shop."
Odaka raised his eyebrows. It wasn't the same location that Fujin mentioned. He pointed at a street a bit farther from his location and asked, "Young man, I was told that the flower shop is in that street after taking the second left."
The boy followed his finger. After hearing his words, a look of disgust appeared on his face. He looked at Odaka and said with disgust, "Scums like you deserve to burn in hell!"
He quickly left, leaving Odaka dumbfounded. He wondered, 'What the hell did that young man point me to?'
He looked back at where he saw Fujin, but Fujin was nowhere to be seen. He looked in another direction and his eyes met with one of the Anbu who was hiding. Odaka pointed towards where he had met up with Fujin.
The Anbu nodded and left. Meanwhile, Odaka was interested in where Fujin had pointed him. So he quickly moved towards it. As soon as he did, his face turned red and he became angry. He let out a laugh and said loudly, "Good one boy! You got me!"
The people around were startled by the loud voice. They looked at him like he was a crazy pervert and maintained a safe distance from him. Odaka was staring at a brothel. In fact, there were multiple brothels and sex toy shops on that street.
He immediately left. Fujin, of course, had no idea what was here. He just gave random directions so that no one would think he is new in the city and get suspicious. Even if there was no flower shop there, the person would just assume that they were pranked and curse him without suspecting anything.
However, Odaka was not just some person. And he didn't approach Fujin due to coincidence. He immediately turned around and began moving to see what the Anbu could have discovered.
However, when he reached the mansion again, an explosion happened inside it! Odaka quickly turned his attention towards the mansion as he heard the sound of the explosion. He wondered, 'Did the assassin attack?'
He quickly entered the mansion. So did a dozen other Jounin-level ninjas!
When he was observing the mansion, Fujin had already noticed how many ninjas were inside the mansion. He spotted 9 ninjas among which 3 were at Chunin level and 6 were merely Genins. Just like in the previous city, the Noble was hiding in one room with 2 ninjas protecting him while his family was hiding underground. He decided to take the same approach.
In the central room in the mansion, the decoy was sitting dressed as the Noble. 2 Chunins stood next to him facing opposite directions in case there was a sneak attack. This room had a lot of artifacts. Large animals made of wood were placed in the room.
The decoy was very nervous. He didn't have the same conviction as Tetsuo. Even the ninjas were very nervous. They were already informed that an attack was just a matter of time. They had heard about the invincible record of the assassin and didn't want to end up dead too. So they resolutely followed all the instructions given by Yura.
As they were waiting, a head popped out from the ground. The decoy was spooked and immediately shouted in terror, "He's here! He's here!"
The other ninja turned around while the one facing Fujin immediately threw the kunai he was holding at Fujin and jumped back. So did the other ninja. Fujin's entire body left the ground. He observed the kunai closely as it had an explosion tag attached to it. He immediately shot an air bullet at it. However, before the air bullet could hit the kunai, the explosion tag exploded!
Fujin instantly jumped back and refined his chakra into wind while wondering, 'What the hell? Why did it explode so far away from me?'
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
The amount of chakra used for performing the jutsu was very low as he didn't want to blow up the mansion. The winds generated by the jutsu instantly blew away the smoke. In addition, a few wind blades were also fired. They hit the decoy and killed him on the spot. However, the two Suna ninjas had moved sufficiently away to dodge the wind blades.
As the smoke cleared, Fujin noticed that the Suna ninjas had backed to the wall while the Noble was dead. A frown formed on his face as he saw the two Suna Chunins. They were both wearing a gas mask to cover their nose and mouth. Fujin frowned and asked, "The explosion tag contained poison?"
The Suna ninjas began laughing. One said, "That's right! Did you think that no one could stop you?"
The other said, "This is a newly created poison. Your antidotes won't help you. Hahaha. If you want to live, surrender now!"
Fujin frowned. His eyes widened as he suddenly sensed 13 strong chakras approaching the room. He looked at the Suna Chunins and said, "Good trap!"
He immediately disappeared from their line of sight. The Suna ninjas were surprised. One exclaimed, "Where did h..."
His question was cut short as a punch pierced through his chest! His partner turned his head and saw in horror as a punch came straight at his face. He was too slow to even react. His last thought was, 'So fast!'
The punch landed on his face and killed him as well. Immediately, the door was smashed as 3 Jounins entered the room. Soon after, the walls were knocked out and even more Jounins entered. Odaka was the last one to enter. They surrounded Fujin from all directions. All of them had consumed the antidote and hence weren't concerned about the poison in the air. However, their expressions became ugly on seeing the dead Chunins.
Fujin observed them and thought, '13 Jounins... No, 12 Jounins and an Elite Jounin. Now that's a good trap.'
A smile formed on his face.
The Suna ninjas were surprised by his smile. It was as if he had caught them in a trap instead of what the actual situation was.
Odaka stepped forward and said, "I never expected that you would smile in this situation. Though, I guess it isn't strange considering what you achieved. I really admire how many headaches you gave to Lord Kazekage. I saw a few of his hair turn grey within a month. Hahaha."
Fujin was puzzled by his attitude. Odaka spoke casually as if he was meeting an old friend instead of an enemy. However, his eyes widened as he sensed dozens of ninjas heading towards them. He realized, 'I see. He is just wasting time. As expected of someone so old.'
Odaka chuckled and said, "You sensed them, huh? It doesn't matter. With the poison you inhaled, you will die the most painful and gruesome death. To be honest, I am very interested in knowing who you are. I wonder if you can satisfy this old man's request now or if I will have to wait until you die."
Fujin let out a chuckle and said, "We will have to see who will die and who will live."
He took a step forward and suddenly disappeared. Odaka's eyes widened. He shouted, "Be careful! He is fast!"
Fujin appeared in front of a Jounin. He was holding a kunai in each hand. He immediately stabbed towards the Jounin's heart. The Jounin immediately jumped backwards. The ones next to him immediately attacked Fujin. Fujin stopped his attack and used his two kunais to block their attacks. However, the ninjas in front of him weaved hand signs.
'Wind Release: Air Bullet jutsu'
Fujin immediately pushed the attackers away and got out of the way. The bullets passed harmlessly and pierced through the walls. The Jounin frowned as those rogue bullets could hit some of their reinforcements.
Odaka observed Fujin and analyzed with a frown on his face, 'Hmm, he is faster and stronger than an average Jounin. Even among Elite Jounins, his speed and physical strength might be at the very top. But, why is the poison not slowing him down? Is this his capability after being slowed or does the poison not affect him for some reason?'
Odaka was taking Fujin lightly as his death was certain. But now he became doubtful. He immediately became very serious.
As soon as Fujin landed in another spot, he was once again attacked by 3 Jounins. Fujin blocked their attacks and tried attacking back, but they dodged him with perfect teamwork. Suddenly, all 3 backed away.
Fujin's eyes widened as he noticed two ninjas building up their chakra while weaving hand signs. He wondered, 'Do they not care about the mansion?'
He instantly backed off and concentrated his chakra as well.
'Wind Release: Wind Dragon Jutsu'
Two massive Wind Dragons formed and dived at Fujin. However, Fujin wasn't much concerned. He had already deduced the jutsu by looking at their hand signs.
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough Jutsu'
He poured 20% of his chakra into the jutsu. Extremely strong winds were breathed by Fujin. It hit the two Wind Dragons and dispersed it. The Suna Jounins had grim expressions. They had the same thought, 'Is he from the Land of Wind or are we?'
They all used their respective defensive moves. The walls of the mansion began collapsing. Fujin was about to pour even more chakra into the jutsu and cause maximum damage to the Suna ninjas by dismantling their defensive jutsus when he suddenly jumped towards his right and looked behind.
His eyes widened as he saw the wooden horse behind him open its mouth wide and shoot hundreds of needles at him! Fujin continued blowing the Infinite Breakthrough, but this time, he used it towards his left so that his body would be pushed to his right. However, it was too late. A few needles grazed his left hand and two needles pierced his left arm and stayed stuck in it. Fujin cursed, 'Shit!'
