Chapter 191 - – 188 Vs Uchiha Elites
Homusubi leaped backward and landed on a tree, he noticed that a large part of the Kunai blade was missing and several cracks on the metal extended up to the handle.
Turning his head to look in the opponent\'s direction, Homusubi noticed that the short knife in Fugaku\'s hand was undamaged, meaning that the sword is of a high grade, which is not strange considering that Uchiha Fugaku is the patriarch of the Uchiha Clan.
At this time, Fugaku who was holding the short knife looked up as his eyes turned red with three black tomoe spinning in them.
The brief confrontation just now was a loss of Homusubi, but Homusubi didn\'t suffer any damage because of the timely retreat.
All the Uchiha Clan members who have awakened the fully matured Sharingan are generally masters of Taijutsu, good with almost all kinds of weapon, as Sharingan allows the user to easily replicate any kind of technique with perfection as long as the physique of the user is up to it.
At this time, Suijin printed the hand seals and pressed his hands on the flowing water waves, and shouted, "Ice Release: Freezing Wave!"
Whiiish…
Instantly under the influence of cold Ice nature Chakra, the water of the Great Waterfall previously used by him instantly froze turning the surrounding forest into a cold field.
Suijin can obviously create such an effect by directly using the Ice Release, but he has found that by first using the Water Style to create a large source of water and then use Ice Style to freeze the said water consumes less Chakra than the direct use of Ice Release with the similar effect, which is why using a Water Technique to fill the surrounding battlefield in water has become a sort of habit for him.
The Uchiha shinobi all leaped away from the incasing cold ice, and looking at the giant field of ice, not only were they not afraid or shocked but more excited and more zealous to fight.
"Patriarch, you don\'t have to action, let us be the ones to deal with these two!"
"Yes, just two bounty ninjas, this would be a perfect exercise!"
"Sandaime has really started to get old, he couldn\'t even solve two bounty ninjas!"
The geared-up elites of the Konoha Police Force, either had one hand over their waists or crossed over their chest, each one more confident than the other.
The Patriarch Uchiha Fugaku had a frowned expression.
He clearly felt signs of Uchiha\'s fighting skills in the short clash just now with Homusubi.
Although the other party tried his best to cover it, Fugaku was able to see through courtesy of his experience.
Listening to the unscrupulous taunting and teasing from the elites of the Konoha Police Force, Suijin sneered, "Ne, Homusubi, we have a lot of Uchiha here, it\'s a good opportunity to gouge out some of their Sharingan, don\'t you think?"
The best method of offending the Uchiha is by trampling over their pride, the Sharingan is the pride of the Uchiha Clan, so speaking about gauging out their Sharingan is the most effective.
Homusubi knew that Suijin was deliberately angering the Uchiha clansmen but still felt a bit uncomfortable by the straight-off approach. Sighing lightly at his helplessness, he nodded nonetheless.
On the opposite side, the faces of the Uchiha elites changed as if they had been cursed.
In normal times, Uchiha may have not been so offended as they are now, but with how they are being treated in the village, their anger was instantly raging and fuming.
"You want to die so badly!?"
"Scumbags, you dare eying the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan!"
"That\'s it, you both will die here, even Sandaime will not say anything!"
Fugaku ignored the clansmen\'s shout, stepping forward to look at Homusubi, he questioned, "Who are you, people?"
"Hooh, might it be that the Uchiha Patriarch is interested in who two meager bounty-nin are? I think we should be proud of such an achievement and as a sign of gratefulness I would definitely like to introduce, I am Suijin, and he is Homusubi of the Amatsukami, we are what you may refer to as bounty-nins/mercenary, as long as it is for money, we are willing to do anything, would you like to give us some task?" – replied Suijin.
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment and asked tentatively from Homusubi, "Are you Shinichi?"
Homusubi was a bit surprised that Fugaku mistook him for Shinichi but shook his head.
Suijin said, "I am afraid that you are mistaking us for someone else Uchiha patriarch, no one with the name Uchiha Shinichi is part of our organization."
Fugaku had a thoughtful expression upon hearing the reply, although, he is still not sure whether both of them are speaking the truth or not.
The Konoha Policemen couldn\'t hold back anymore because of the constant disrespectful tone of the other side, said, "Patriarch since that person is not Shinichi, then there is no further need for hesitation, after mocking the great Uchiha Clan, they can never be forgiven and must be dealt with the appropriate measure!"
Uchiha Fugaku suppressed his doubt as his eyes turned cold and he nodded silently.
That was the signal the Uchiha Elites needed and suddenly took action one after another.
"Fire Release: Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
The three leading Uchiha elites were divided into three sides, the one in the middle used the Fire Ball Technique, the one on the left used the Dragon Fire Technique, while the one on the right used the Phoenix Fire Technique.
The three-fire-style Jutsus were released instantly rushing towards Suijin.
Suijin obviously didn\'t dare to be careless and immediately sealed,
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A tall wall of water immediately rose from the grounds that covered Suijin and Homusubi, protecting the two from the three fire Jutsu.
Boom… Boom… Boom…
The three fire ninjutsu collided with the water wall creating the roaring sound of water vapors that enveloped the field.
The thick layer of mist again covered the battlefield.
With the Byakugan activated, Suijin warned Homusubi, "Be ready, they are coming!"
Homusubi nodded he knew better than anyone that these elites are nothing to be taken lightly!
Whiiish… Whiiish… Whiiish…
Both of them were ready, suddenly the sound of Shuriken cutting through the wind reached Suijin\'s ears.
Suijin did a backflip and caught six of the shuriken with extremely perfect ease while still in mid-air and shot them back the moment he landed back on the ground.
Almost the same moment Suijin landed on the ground, two figures jumped out of the mist and rushed towards him, one with a large broad sword while the other that wrapped thin metal chains over his knuckles.
Suijin had already noticed their arrival and tapped his foot on the ground as an ice wall rose to momentarily block the incoming Uchiha with the chains, Suijin then created an ice Adamantine Staff which wasn\'t as strong as the real Adamantine Staff but was useful nonetheless and used it to block the incoming sword slash from the sword carried by the other Uchiha.
Blocking him midway, the two started a battle of Kenjutsu vs Bokijutsu.
The opponent is a proficient Kenjutsu user and Suijin was able to keep up with his movements courtesy to the Byakugan, which allowed him to see the flow of chakra of the other party.
At this time, there was a red light that flashed a glimmer of scorching heat coming from the side and the rising mist, Suijin understood that the enemy\'s plan.
With the fireball coming to his side, the Kenjutsu user increased the intensity of his strikes, intent on not giving any opportunities for him to dodge and the great fireball swallowed the both of them.
The three Uchiha standing nearby glanced at each other, when one of them, the one in the middle asked the one on the right, "Did it work…?"
Before he could answer, a figure appeared out of the mist and punched him in the gut sending him across.
The two Uchiha didn\'t need to be signaled as they pounced on him with their respective weapons.
On the other side, Homusubi led the battle deeper into the forest as the Uchiha also chased after him.
Not far away Uchiha Fugaku along with the other Uchiha elites stood on the canopy of a tall tree with his hands crossed over his chest looking at the two battlefields with deep concentration.
The resounding symphony of the metal collision, fist, and feet collision from time to time, the scorching heat of the Fire Jutsu, the chilling cold of the Ice Techniques, thundering Lighting, and splattering mud made the battlefield extremely chaotic, and he could judge that the battle was indeed quite fierce.
"It seems that the two of them are indeed good!"
The elite Force that Fugaku brought with him consists of 17 Jonin Class Shinobi, with an absolute advantage in numbers besieging the opposite team, Fugaku wasn\'t worried, but the result was still a bit unexpected.
"Humph, even if they are somewhat good, but they still won\'t be able to defeat all the elites!" – muttered Fugaku.
Although the strength that the other party displayed surprised him, Fugaku still wasn\'t worried, besides it\'s not like the Fog is the \'Hidden Mist Jutsu\' therefore, the Uchiha are perfectly capable of seeing through it.
