Chapter 63: Chapter 62 : Fire Release - Aerial Explosion Jutsu
Fujin's wind clone tried flickering behind her quickly while avoiding all traps, but Mieko realized it and quickly turned around. When she did, Fujin's clone noticed that Mieko was holding 2 strings in her right hand.
Seeing Fujin heading toward her, Mieko smirked, 'I knew it.'
She flickered behind while releasing the strings. As soon as those strings went slack, a couple of dozen Shurikens rained toward Fujin's clone.
At the same time, Mieko activated her Sharingan and observed Fujin. She frowned on noticing that Fujin's chakra amount was very low, 'A Wind clone. This guy never fights head-on!'
Fujin's clone dodged the shurikens with ease and chased after Mieko while forming Wind Explosion jutsu and launching them at her.
He consecutively launched 7 Wind Explosions at her. Mieko dodged each time. But she was getting increasingly worried, 'I need to keep a watch on any sneak attacks. It's very likely that he has more Wind clones hiding nearby.'
Renjiro observed this clash, 'His control over Wind nature is really impressive. Wind clones are the weakest elemental clones. Any capable sensor can easily differentiate between a wind clone and the main body in a moment due to how unstable the clone is.
However, the weak nature of the Wind clone allows anyone to create a lot of them. And the instability of the Wind clone's chakra makes it immune to Genjutsu. And due to being made of wind, they are usually even more mobile than the user.'
He then looked at Fujin who was hiding and smiled, 'He really is carefree and thinks that he has already won. While he will win, he's in for a surprise if he thinks the win will be this easy. After all, both Hoka and Mieko too have made huge progress in the last 3 months.'
The wind clone finally begins getting low on chakra. Fujin analyzed, 'Hmm... I need to pour more chakra into 2-3 wind clones so that they can last longer. Others I can make with the minimum requirements as I'll need the numbers.'
Since he was about to disperse, the clone poured most of its chakra into another Wind Explosion jutsu. He then flickered towards Mieko. Mieko flickered away, but the clone followed her with another flicker and threw the Wind Explosion jutsu right at her. On doing that, the clone dispersed.
In a hurry, Mieko threw a kunai, that had an Explosion tag attached to it, toward the incoming wind sphere.
The blast created by the explosion tag easily overpowered the jutsu and dispersed it, however, Mieko had to jump back to avoid getting hit by the explosion.
The explosion, alongside the earlier Wind Explosion jutsus, however, activated or destroyed most of the traps that she painfully placed.
Unfortunately for her, as soon as she jumped backward, another 2 Wind clones appeared behind her and launched the Wind Explosion jutsu on her.
Since she was airborne, she couldn't flicker away! In a panic, she threw a shuriken, with a string attached to it, to the tree next to her, and used it to pull herself away. But some winds created by the explosions still hit her, creating many small cuts on her that immediately began bleeding.
The 2 clones immediately pressed on the attack, without giving Mieko any time to think. While she engaged them, another 3 clones appeared and tried to sneak attack her. Though none were successful, they added even more injuries to her.
Fujin still kept observing the fight while hiding, 'Not bad, she's grown much stronger. My wind clones are rather annoying to deal with. But, is this all? The fight is kinda too easy.'
Over at the battlefield, Mieko was bleeding a lot. And she was incredibly annoyed, 'Why can't he fight with some honor? I'll show him!'
She gritted her teeth and endured the pain and made a couple of hand signs. Trying to weave hand signs while having a chakra point half-blocked was incredibly painful. Fujin could see her wincing in pain. And he could sense her chakra building up!
One of the clones used all his chakra, to use a Great Breakthrough jutsu. Since he didn't have enough chakra, it wasn't strong enough. But it still made Mieko lose her balance and be dragged across the ground. The clone got dispersed as well due to running out of chakra.
Seeing her being unable to fight back, another clone appeared and launches a Wind Explosion jutsu at her.
However, before the jutsu could reach her, she managed to get up on her feet and jump above and landed on a branch.
She said, "Fire Release : Aerial Explosion jutsu"
Hearing the word 'Explosion', Fujin's clones got on guard. However, no explosion occurred, 'Hmm, where's the explosion?' Only a breeze passed through the area once.
Realizing that something was off, they immediately begin sensing Mieko. Soon the clones, as well as Fujin, notice that some sort of gas seems to have been released by Mieko. And it was spreading throughout the forest at a very fast speed.
Fujin's clones didn't discover the Gas earlier, as it was both colorless and odourless.
Fujin wondered, 'What jutsu is this?' However, he had no idea. 'Oh well, whatever. I'll get to know soon enough.' And he disappeared underground.
In around 10 seconds, the gas spread in a 60 meter radius around Mieko. All of Fujin's clones were in this area. Not knowing what to aspect, the 5-6 clones who have already exposed themselves continue their attack.
Seeing the clones running towards her, Mieko smirked and stated, "Let's see where your main body is hiding now!"
As soon as she said that, she spit out a small fire. That fire ignited the gas, causing it to rapidly expand and generate strong outward winds!
The winds carried the gas up to 100 meters around Mieko and soon the whole area exploded!
The ignition flame destroyed all 18 of Fujin's Wind clones. It set fire to each and every tree in that area! And the fire seemed to be spreading further!
Both Fujin and Hoka were left dumbfounded by the destruction!
