Chapter 221: Bad Luck
Chapter 221: Bad Luck
Fujin finally gave up on the wolves. He made a hand sign and ended his jutsu. In the next second, he appeared back in the training ground. Exhausted, he went home and took a long rest.
A few days later, Fujin once again tried his luck.
'Summoning Jutsu'
Fujin disappeared from his basement. He looked around and the scene made his skin crawl! He couldn't help but curse, 'First that never-ending Wolf tide! And now this? No wonder so few have the summoning jutsu. It's fucking dangerous!'
As soon as Fujin appeared, he saw innumerable Mosquitoes around him! He couldn't even estimate their number.
He nervously asked, "Do you have a leader who would be willing to discuss a summoning contract?"
Fujin thought, 'Though I don't like mosquitoes, they have a lot of potential. If I can summon millions of mosquitos, I can have similar skills as the Aburame clan without having to host insects in my body. However, I first need to see the effectiveness of these mosquitoes.
For starters, how much chakra would it require to summon a sufficient number of mosquitoes? And, do they have poisons like the bugs? Or do they have other means of attack?'
Unfortunately for Fujin, the mosquitoes just dived at him without exchanging any words. Fujin sighed expecting such a response. Winds began flowing all around him. A dome of wind formed around Fujin which spun at a high speed.
The mosquitoes attacked the dome and were ripped into small pieces as soon as they entered it. Their remains were tossed outside right away. Hundreds of mosquitoes died every second. Fujin sighed once again, 'Another suicidal bunch.'
Fujin lost all interest in the group. He made a hand sign and cancelled the summoning jutsu and returned to his basement.
He muttered, "No wonder so few ninjas have summons. If most of the summons are like them, it will be waste of time and risky at the same time."
He hadn't wasted much chakra against the Mosquitoes. He used the Summoning jutsu once again and disappeared.
This time, he landed in a rocky area. There were huge boulders around Fujin. And on top of those boulders were Hyenas! Fujin was standing in the center and there were 8 hyenas surrounding him.
Fujin looked at them and wondered, 'So will these guys talk?'
This time, Fujin didn't have to wait for long to know the answer.
All 8 hyenas stood up and stared at Fujin. One of them exclaimed, "A human popped up out of thin air!"
Another hyena licked his lips and said, "Yeah, we didn't even have to go hunting for him!"
Another said, "Since this is a free meal, he should be delicious, right?"
Fujin was relieved to hear them speak. But soon his left eye twitched. He said, "I was trying to sign a summoning contract. Who is your leader?"
The first hyena that had spoken asked excitedly, "Do you mean that we can summon humans like you and not have to hunt for a meal ever?"
Fujin's left eye twitched again. He sighed and said, "Just take me to your leader."
The hyena said, "Sure."
However, at the next second, he pounced on Fujin. Having dealt with two annoying groups, Fujin was high on alert and low on patience. He dodged and kicked the hyena away.
Surprisingly, the hyena flipped in the air and landed on his legs on a boulder. He exclaimed, "This one fights well! Brothers, we will have a good hunt tonight!"
Fujin muttered, "Great, another group of battle maniacs."
He spread his chakra field. Surprisingly, there were only 16 hyenas in a 1.3-kilometer radius. Fujin wondered, 'Is this a small pack? Or is the territory of these hyenas so huge that only 16 live in such a large area?'
As soon as the hyena yelled, the remaining 8 arrived and encircled Fujin. However, none of them attacked Fujin.
Fujin prepared himself for another fight. However, his eyes widened. Lightning began appearing on the bodies of every hyena. It flowed on their bodies. Fujin thought, 'What the hell? They can use Lightning?'
In the very next second, Fujin flickered. A paw pierced into the back of the afterimage he left. Fujin's face became grim, 'They are too fast!'
All 16 hyenas ran towards him at a very high speed. Their speed wasn't any lower than the speed at which Fujin flickered.
Fujin kept flickering to prevent himself from being surrounded. At the same time, one sword appeared in his left hand. Without looking, he slashed it at the hyena on his left.
The hyena didn't bother dodging as the sword was quite far from him. However, his eyes widened as he saw a sword slash coming at him. He immediately got out of the way and barely dodged the sword slash. Unfortunately, that wasn't all.
The sword slash was surrounded by sharp winds that hit the hyena. The winds cut into his flesh, making him bleed all over. The hyena was enraged and began chasing Fujin once again. He shouted, "Be careful of his sword slashes!"
The other hyenas made a note of it mentally and kept attacking. Fujin also observed the hyena as he was on a run, 'So the lightning just increases their speed and perhaps their attack too. Their defenses aren't enhanced. However, his hide is too tough for a hyena. Normal attacks won't have much effect on it.'
He kept running while attacking with flying slashes. Fujin was very impressed by the Hyenas, 'They are good. Very good. They have excellent coordination, very high speed and a strong attack. And they keep fighting despite injuries without letting them affect their speed. With the addition of their cunningness, they might just be the perfect summons!'
Fujin swung his sword towards the rock below him and sent a flying slash towards it. The slash cut the boulder and sent dust and small pieces of rocks flying towards the hyenas. Due to their high speed, the hyenas couldn't dodge and ran into the rocks and dust and were blinded momentarily due to the dust.
Fujin used this opportunity to flicker a far distance from them and stopped moving. The hyenas took a couple of seconds to get rid of the dust in their eyes and chased after Fujin once again.
Fuji stood on a boulder as he saw the hyenas come at him. They moved so fast that if a normal person saw, he wouldn't see anything except lightning flashing across the boulders.
Fujin built up around 5% of his chakra.
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
Fujin exhaled a massive and strong wind at the hyenas. Seeing their bloodlust, Fujin didn't hold back. The attack left deep cuts in the ground as it moved towards the hyenas.
The hyenas saw the strong winds heading towards them and barked loudly. However, to Fujin's ears, they sounded like cackling laughter!
Fujin was surprised as all the hyenas let out an electric wave that clashed with Fujin's attack. Fujin had the elemental advantage, however, he was facing 16 opponents by himself. Both attacks cancelled each other. The hyenas continued their hunt and moved right through the dust raised by the clash of their previous attacks.
Fujin used the smokescreen to fire air bullets at the hyenas. As soon as the hyenas exited the smokescreen, they felt air bullets heading towards them. They immediately dodged, however, they were too close to the attack.
2 Air bullets hit the legs of a couple of hyenas and left a hole through it. Another 8 air bullets left cuts on the hyenas. Only 5 hyenas were completely unharmed. They immediately went on the attack while the others took time to breathe.
A hyena appeared in front of Fujin and swung his paws at his head. At the same time, another two hyenas appeared on Fujin's side. Fujin moved backwards as defending would mean that those two hyenas would attack him.
The paw hit the boulder on which Fujin was standing and completely destroyed it! As Fujin moved back, he swung his sword at them and launched another sword slash. The hyenas immediately jumped to dodge. However, Fujin fired Air Bullets at that very instant at the hyenas who were airborne.
This time, the hyenas weren't unaware of the threat. They opened their mouths and fired small lightning balls at the incoming air bullets. The attacks cancelled each other out.
Fujin furrowed his eyebrows, 'I will run out of chakra at this rate. And they aren't allowing me any time to cancel my summoning jutsu and return back to Konoha.'
As he was thinking, one of the hyenas, who was earlier injured, appeared at Fujin's right and pounced on him. Fujin saw as his lightning-enhanced paw moved towards his body. At the same time, the 5 hyenas facing him also pressed on the attack.
Fujin extended his right arm towards the incoming paw. As his hand moved forward, chakra appeared in front of his palm. It took the shape of a ball and began rotating at a very high speed.
At the same time, chakra flowed erratically through the sword in his left hand as he swung it at the hyenas coming at him. The hyenas expected another flying slash. However, this time no slash was sent flying. Instead, strong winds were generated that were incredibly sharp and spread in all directions in front of Fujin.
The hyenas noticed the deep cuts the winds left in the ground and were terrified. They immediately ran in the opposite direction. The winds lost their power after travelling 25 meters, but that was sufficient time for Fujin.
The paw and the Rasengan clashed. The hyena expected to crush the ball and the human as well. However, the Rasengan easily overpowered the paw. The lightning around the paw dissipated as the Rasengan hit it. The hyena let out a painful howl as the Rasengan hit.
The momentum of the hyena carried it into the Rasengan. The Rasengan caused his leg to bend towards its stomach. Fujin slammed the Rasengan into his stomach and sent the hyena backwards along with the Rasengan. After moving for a couple of meters, the Rasengan exploded!
The hyena's skin was the thinnest in his belly area. The explosion ripped through the skin and blew his internal organs. Blood and flesh hit the rocks behind the hyena. When the smoke cleared, the hyena's dead body could be seen on the ground. His once-solid stomach had been ripped open, exposing the shattered remnants of its internal organs to the elements. The flesh around the stomach hung loosely like a torn and deflated bag.
The gruesome sight made the remaining hyenas shudder in revulsion. They all looked at each other. Fujin noticed it and prepared himself for an even fiercer confrontation. However, his eyes widened and a stunned expression could be seen on his face as he saw the hyena's action!
