Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 735: Unfulfilled Desires!

[A/N: A small note. Orochimaru's Edo Tensei isn't as good as what Kabuto's was during the Fourth War (The fact that old Hiruzen was able to fight Hashirama and Tobirama should say it all). While I have taken some liberties with the jutsu, this aspect isn't changed. Hashirama, Tobirama and Sakumo are still rank S, but they are barely at that rank. In addition, Sakumo is resisting Orochimaru's control to an extent. That should answer the doubts about Kakashi Vs Sakumo.]

"The rumors don't do your strength any justice, Might Guy!" Zabuza claimed after getting kicked yet again. Even though Guy didn't open any of his inner Gates, he was still strong enough to easily keep Zabuza at bay.

It didn't matter what Zabuza threw at him, Guy just brushed everything off. The thick mist proved to be utterly ineffective. His water jutsus failed to hit Guy. Any Water Clones he created would be dispelled by one punch or kick. Luckily, his body could heal automatically, or several of his bones would have been broken as well. Of course, since Guy didn't open the Inner Gates, he didn't have any means to completely destroy Zabuza's body either.

Another powerful punch landed on Zabuza's sword as Guy asked, "Oh, there are rumors about me in the Land of Water? I wonder what they say about Konoha's Blue Beast!"

Zabuza grinned and replied, "You've no idea, do you? Tell me, did you ever fight against an Elite Jounin from Kirigakure?"

Guy was surprised. He couldn't recall ever fighting against any strong ninja from Kirigakure. What Zabuza didn't know was that Guy was terrible at remembering faces.

As they battled, Zabuza thought, 'If there is one ninja who the entire Kirigakure, no matter the faction, is afraid of, it's this monster! After the end of the Third Great Ninja War, he was the highest priority target for all Kiri ninjas.

We were ordered to kill him if we came across him, even if it cost our lives. From what I heard, elaborate plans were also created to eliminate him. Kirigakure didn't want to see another ninja like Might Duy appear in Konoha.

However, before any of the plans could be implemented, the Civil War began and all plans were put on hold. By the time the Mizukage faction could focus on him again, he had already become a Jounin and all plans were shelved. Instead of killing him, all top ninjas in the village were ordered to avoid confrontation with him at all costs!'

As he got pummeled once again, Zabuza muttered to himself, 'He doesn't even need to use that forbidden technique anymore!'

"No matter what the end result was, you did your best, Father. I can now see and understand why you violated the rules to save the lives of your comrades. I'm proud to be your son." Surprise appeared on Sakumo's face as he heard Kakashi. Soon, a smile broke out on his face, displaying his relief.

Having received an opportunity to communicate nearly four years before they would have without Fujin's interference, Kakashi and Sakumo had a nice chat while battling. While Sakumo, despite not being at his strongest, was undoubtedly stronger, he was able to resist Orochimaru's control enough so that Kakashi didn't have any trouble keeping up with him.

Fujin, who was in the middle of an intense battle, glanced in their direction. He had long anticipated that they'd have such a discussion. In fact, it was what he was counting on. A major weakness of the Edo Tensei jutsu was that it'd be undone if the summoned ninja attained peace and decided to pass on. As such, he expected Sakumo to simply pass on and undo the Edo Tensei jutsu. However, a frown appeared on his face as that didn't happen.

"Brat! You dare to take your eyes off us?" Kaminari shouted as he charged towards Fujin while preparing another Lightning jutsu. Without even glancing at him, Fujin slashed his sword and released a strong wind slash. He slashed it once again at Juzo's water jutsu.

Despite being angered by Fujin's attitude, Kaminari was no longer careless. Lightning sparks always surrounded his body. Even though it didn't enhance his defenses and didn't make him as fast as the Raikage, it still allowed him to move ridiculously fast.

There were quite a few who were even more tense than Juzo and Kaminari despite not facing Fujin. They were the Suna ninjas, who were unnerved and freaking out.

"Holy Crap! Why can he still use that technique?"

"Wasn't he unable to use that technique again, which is why he didn't use it despite facing two strong ninjas?"

"NOOO! How can that technique be used repeatedly? What are we supposed to do?"

"Calm down! The fact that he didn't use that technique until now shows that it has some shortcomings. A technique of this scale must be extremely straining on his chakra reserves. Even though he used it again, this should be the last time he can use it. Hopefully, those two can exhaust it once again!"

Even the three ninjas who wanted to assassinate Fujin were disturbed. With the Wind Cloak, they didn't stand a chance. Panicked discussions broke out among the Suna ranks. However, they all quickly came to the conclusion that this would be the last time Fujin could use that technique.

Of course, several among them understood that their reasoning had several flaws. However, they had no choice but to hope that their speculations were true. After all, the alternative meant that not a single one of them would survive!
