Chapter 620: Hiruzen Arrives!
Renjiro asked, "Well? What happened there?"
A smile appeared on Fujin's face as he said, "It's over for now. Orochimaru escaped."
Shock appeared on both their faces. Neither expected such a result. Fujin continued, "The Fire Dome was due to Orochimaru trying to take advantage of my jutsu. The following two dragons were my attacks."
Fujin let out a tired sigh and added ruefully, "It's a shame that his body was far more weird than what I was told. He could heal perfectly from any injury no matter how serious it was. Otherwise, I could have killed him with that initial explosion. Anyway, he escaped using the Reverse Summoning jutsu."
Both Renjiro and Hoka sucked a cold breath simultaneously, their eyes wide with disbelief. At the same time, Hiruzen reached the Forest of Death!
Despite Fujin's words, Renjiro couldn't believe what he was hearing. Unlike Hoka, he was well aware of how terrifying Orochimaru was. Be it Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kinjutsu or any other skill, Orochimaru excelled in everything. Even the ones who specialized in any of those skills couldn't compete with him. Even in his wildest dreams, Renjiro could never imagine that someone like that would be defeated by his 16-year-old student!
He muttered to himself, 'I knew that he would surpass me but I never thought that he would surpass me so quickly and by such a large degree.'
Pride appeared in Renjiro's eyes as he looked at Fujin again. His student had defeated Orochimaru! He wanted to go out with his friends and brag about this fact. Unfortunately, the situation forced him to stay put. After all, someone like Orochimaru was dangerous even if he was defeated.
Hoka had a complicated feeling. On one hand, he was happy that Fujin had grown so strong. On the other hand, he became slightly depressed as Fujin had left him behind by such a large margin. Even though Fujin was always stronger than him, he hoped that he'd be able to reduce that gap with time. However, he understood that their gap had become so large that the chances of him bridging it were getting lesser every passing day!
Renjiro quickly controlled his emotions and looked towards the place where the fight had happened. He saw the massive fire and noticed a few Water jutsus being used. He asked, "Should I go to help control the fire?"
Fujin shook his head and returned inside the building to sit down. He said, "No need. My chakra reserves are very low. If Orochimaru has someone assisting him, I'll need you two to help me until I can recover my chakra. Thankfully, Orochimaru's chakra levels should be worse than mine. So, he is unlikely to attack again in a short while."
Renjiro understood and nodded. Compared to a forest fire, Fujin's safety was much more important.
While the three of them were talking, Hiruzen reached the Forest of Death. Fujin's clone had sent Fumito to inform him while Anko had sent a few Chunins. The Chunins sent by Anko reached earlier because she had sent them a couple of minutes earlier and they had to travel 10 km less.
Hiruzen was about to leave when Fumito reached there and informed him about Fujin's message. As a result, Hiruzen stopped and summoned a few Anbu squads which took another couple of minutes.
With 5 Anbu squads and his Anbu guards, Hiruzen reached the Forest of Death in just 4 minutes! However, when he reached, he couldn't sense any battle happening. Instead, he just saw the smoke rising from the forest fire. He looked towards it and thought, 'Why am I getting a weird feeling?'
Fumito immediately informed, "Lord Hokage, Fujin and Orochimaru were fighting around the spot where the fire is."
Hearing his words, everyone apart from his guards stopped following him and focused on the flames. Hiruzen continued moving towards the tower. He had only moved a few hundred meters when Hiruzen noticed something odd once again. His eyes widened as he noticed a massive new canal in the Forest of Death.
He stopped temporarily and wondered, 'What the hell happened here? Who created such a canal? Did Orochimaru get an even larger summon than Manda? But why would the canal be straight if it was created by a snake?'
In the tower, Hoka asked, "By the way, what was that Fire Dragon jutsu you used? It didn't feel like normal Fire jutsus. The heat it radiated was far more intense. It almost reminded me of your and Mieko's combination jutsu, but this one seemed a lot more intense."
Before Fujin could answer, Renjiro said, "It looked like the Scorch Kekkei Genkai. I didn't expect that you'd actually manage to fuse Fire and Wind chakras to create this Kekkei Genkai."
Fujin shook his head and said, "I can't use Scorch Release. I just combined Orochimaru's Fire jutsu with my Wind jutsu. His jutsu also had a lot of Yang chakra. Somehow, the merger of our jutsus created an effect that was very similar to Scorch Release.
Unfortunately, the amount of chakra we used was very high. Using it in a battle just by myself isn't feasible for the time being."
Renjiro's eyebrows twitched. He thought, 'When he was young, he used to always ask me for new jutsus. He even pestered the old man for chakra blades. However, I didn't think he'd begin using the enemy's jutsus to strengthen his attacks and send it back at the enemy!'
Suddenly, Fujin, Renjiro and Hoka looked towards the balcony. Moments later, Hiruzen and his Anbu guards arrived. Seeing that Fujin was all right, Hiruzen sighed in relief. He was worried that Orochimaru would injure Fujin seriously.
Before Hiruzen could express his relief and express his concern, Fujin looked at him, sighed tiredly, just like Hiruzen usually did, and said, "You're late, Grandpa. I had to fight that snake just by myself! It was sooo scary!"
