Fujin was shocked at what he was sensing, 'What the fuck? All my clones were destroyed. Which jutsu is this?'
Hoka too was stunned by the destruction, 'When did Mieko get so strong?'
He quickly calmed himself and analyzed more, 'But, this jutsu shouldn't work on me as my Byakugan will notice the gas being released even if it is colorless. So I can just move out of the range.'
Fujin calmed himself down as well and observed the jutsu further, 'Hmm, the heat generated from the explosion seems to have already dispersed. It's just that there were trees around which got burned. So if I were to take this hit head-on, it won't kill me. Though I'll be badly burnt.
The Wind clones are just too brittle. So they all were dispersed by the jutsu.'
While hiding underground, Fujin analyzed a bit more and sighed, 'I have never seen or heard about this jutsu. It was likely taught to her by the clan. I really shouldn't look down on any jutsu that wasn't used in the series.
This world has way more jutsus, which are extremely lethal if used properly. Especially when I have no idea about these jutsus! Though the destruction caused by this jutsu is impressive, I can easily nullify it with even just a Breakthrough jutsu by blowing the gas away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut I just didn't have any idea about this jutsu, which resulted in my clones getting wrecked. I wonder if she yelled the name of her jutsu purposefully...'
Renjiro nodded and smiled, seeing Mieko counterattack successfully even when being in such a disadvantageous position. 'This performance by her is very good. I did expect her to retaliate but didn't think it'd be this successful.
Fujin found the battle to be too easy, and hence let his guard down and played around instead of focusing entirely on defeating her quickly. This provided Mieko with a window of opportunity to use this move.'
He then looked at the spot where Fujin was hiding underground and a complicated expression appeared on his face, 'He is just way too careful. Though he did drop his guard slightly, he was always extremely safe.
While this is good and will ensure that he stays alive, he's missing out on opportunities to gain crucial experiences. After all, if he never faces a crunch situation while sparring, and if he suddenly faces one during a mission, he'll find it very difficult to stay alive.
Unfortunately, I can't get him to be more proactive during spars. I hope that this doesn't end up causing him any serious loss.'
After using the jutsu, Mieko dropped to her knees. The jutsu took a major portion of her chakra. And she had to use Fireproof jutsu to protect herself from being burned as well. So her chakra level had dropped a lot.
Fujin didn't miss this fact. So he created a shadow clone with roughly 60% of his remaining Chakra. The clone exited the ground and confirmed that the Gas had already dispersed.
The clone then made 5 Wind clones. They dispersed and approached Mieko from all sides. While the Shadow clone went back underground.
The 1st Wind clone reached where Mieko was and looked at her. Her chakra reserves had dropped very low and her whole body was covered in small wounds, many of which were bleeding. She looked back with her Sharingan and observed that it was another wind clone.
Fujin's wind clone said, "Give up. You are too injured to continue."
Mieko snorted and shouted back, "As if I'll give up against someone too scared of showing his own face."
Fujin's clone chuckled, "Even if I just hide from you, you'll end up losing consciousness due to exhaustion and perhaps even blood loss."
Mieko smirked and taunted, "I already destroyed all your clones once. I'll do it again until you are forced to fight me yourself."
Saying that she began making the hand signs again. But 4 more clones appeared around her, and all attacked her, disrupting her jutsu.
Earlier, only Fujin's wind clones saw her hand signs. So he didn't know the hand signs she does for that jutsu. But it didn't matter, as he no longer wanted to give her any more opportunities.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMieko tried her best to dodge, but was hit by winds caused by multiple winds caused by the Wind Explosion jutsu, and took a Breakthrough jutsu head-on, resulting in her flying back for dozens of meters and falling on the ground. She yelled in pain while being cut and flung away.
The forest was still burning, so Fujin's winds became very hot. Which hurt her even more despite having a high resistance to fire.
She tried getting up, 'Argh, this hurts a lot! But I finally have some distance. I'll use it.'
She was about to use up all her chakra to use another Aerial Explosion jutsu, but her Sharingan noticed a chakra signature underground. 'Is he doing another sneak attack? WAIT! His chakra is very high. Finally, he is attacking with his main body! I just need one chance, and I'll win!'
Her thoughts were cut by Fujin's arm appearing out of the ground. He grabbed her neck, while exiting the ground, and slammed her on the ground while strangling her neck with his right hand and pinning her to the ground.
He looked at her and said, "You've lost, give up."
But Mieko smirked despite being in pain. In his moment of carelessness, Fujin looked straight into her eyes!
'Sharingan Genjutsu'
At the very next moment, the scene changed for Fujin. The Mieko he was grabbing transformed into flames and escaped his grasp. The burning trees around him began moving and walking toward him.
Mieko reformed her body in mid-air while laughing arrogantly, "You looked into my eyes!" She laughed even more before saying, "It's my win Fujin. No one can match an Uchiha in a fair fight!"
