Chapter 3 Flames and Gale
The Third Shinobi World War, a war between Konoha and Iwagakure, lasted for more than a year.
Having been through the brutal baptism of war, both sides were very familiar with each other's methods, and could be said to know each other inside and out.
Seeing the enemy hide behind the tree, Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing composure and confidence.
He clasped his hands together, forming the "Ren" seal, and instantly an Earth Release: Earth Clone appeared above the giant serpent's head.
Then, this earthen clone, like a bolt of lightning, sped toward the large tree at an astonishing speed.
However, before the earth clone could get close to its target, a rustling sound of branches and leaves suddenly came from the top of the tree.
A strange figure with two heads and four arms leaped out like a ghost, drawing an arc in the air before appearing in everyone's sight.
"What...what is this...does the Uchiha clan have this kind of ninjutsu?" A Chunin standing behind the Iwagakure Jonin had his mouth slightly open, his face full of disbelief.
Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, frowned and said, "Idiot, don't look into his eyes, or you'll fall for a Sharingan genjutsu!"
From mid-air, Uchiha Mitsunaga looked down at the three's astonished expressions, a wicked smile playing on his lips. The three-tomoe Sharingan in his two heads began to spin rapidly, their eyes gleaming: "Sharingan: Genjutsu!"
An invisible force spread out quietly like ripples, like an invisible net, enveloping the people of Iwagakure.
Upon seeing this, Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, felt a sudden alarm bell ring in his mind. His years of combat experience, which had allowed him to hover on the edge of life and death, enabled his body to react faster than his brain.
His body instinctively shifted to the left, and he pushed off the ground with both feet, dodging the attack from behind like a nimble cheetah.
At the same time, he quickly turned around and saw that the two disciples had blank stares and their bodies were out of control, clearly having fallen under the Sharingan genjutsu.
He hurriedly gathered chakra in his palms and struck the two disciples. The powerful chakra surged into their bodies through his palms, instantly waking them from the control of the genjutsu.
When the Iwagakure chunin on the left came to his senses, he saw that he was holding a blood-stained kunai in his right hand.
Meanwhile, Yamagata, a Chunin from Iwagakure standing in the middle, also felt a sharp pain in his back. He reached down and touched it, finding his hand covered in blood. His face instantly turned ashen, his eyes filled with anger and resentment: "Am I going to die?"
"I'm sorry, Mountain Fox, I didn't mean to!"
Yamagaki, a Chunin from Iwagakure, swayed slightly and gritted his teeth as he cursed, "Oishi, this isn't your fault! I know you fell for their genjutsu!"
The Iwagakure chunin, Oishi, was not good at expressing himself. He could only support Yamagata and curse, "Evil Uchiha!"
During their conversation, flames of anger and resentment burned in their eyes.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Sanfeng, suspended in mid-air, wasn't about to give them a chance to catch their breath. He let out a maniacal laugh: "Hahaha, you think you can fight me with this little bit of skill? Prepare to die!"
As he spoke, his four arms moved like the nimble tentacles of an octopus, his hands shifting rapidly, chakra flowing between his fingers.
As the hand seals were completed, both heads operated simultaneously. The right head suddenly opened its mouth wide and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball carrying a rolling heat wave shot out from its mouth. The scorching temperature distorted and deformed the surrounding air, making a crackling sound.
At the same time, the head on the left side also opened its mouth wide and shouted, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Several gusts of wind howled out of its mouth, the wind like sharp blades, pushing the fireball forward and changing its shape.
In the blink of an eye, the fireball, aided by the gale, transformed into a surging, monstrous wave of fire that swept towards the four members of Iwagakure.
Seeing the situation was dire, Earth Release: Earth Clone immediately stopped, crouched down, and rapidly formed hand seals like a phantom before slamming its hand into the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
A thick earthen wall suddenly rose from the ground and appeared in front of the four members of the Iwagakure group.
This earthen wall is over 7 meters high and about 8 meters wide, enough to completely conceal four people.
However, the blazing fireball and the raging wind came fiercely, crashing violently against the earthen wall.
In an instant, a deafening roar resounded, as if the entire mountain forest trembled.
"Boom... Boom... Boom boom...!" The scorching flames and howling winds crashed against the earthen wall, causing it to tremble violently under the dual attack of wind and fire, cracks appearing and earthen debris constantly falling off.
It held up for just over two seconds before the earthen wall could no longer withstand the powerful force and collapsed with a loud crash.
The shattered earthen wall, turning into countless fragments of stone, accompanied by a violent combination of wind and fire ninjutsu, attacked the four Iwagakure members behind the wall.
Fujino, a Jonin from Iwagakure, acted decisively, quickly forming hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Submersion Technique!"
Chakra formed a vortex beneath his feet, and with a slight tremor, he and his three disciples sank rapidly into the ground, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the four Iwagakure members fleeing in disarray underground, Uchiha Mitsunori smiled with satisfaction: "The power of this combination ninjutsu is indeed formidable!"
If you simply use Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, the attack range is only about ten meters. But when you add Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, it becomes a combination of wind and fire ninjutsu, which expands the attack range to more than thirty meters and increases the destructive power by a level.
Currently, there are not many ninjas in the ninja world who can perform combination ninjutsu solo. The most famous among them is the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who could perform combination ninjutsu using all five elements: fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water. Another is Kakuzu, the bounty hunter from the Akatsuki organization.
Just as Uchiha Mitsunori was basking in the joy of victory and admiring the power of his ninjutsu, Iwagakure Jonin Fujino's Earth Release: Earth Clone, left outside, did not give up his counterattack.
It rushed forward swiftly, its hands forming a hand seal: "Earth Release: Rock Cannon!"
Then, it spat out stones from its mouth. These stones began to grow larger the moment they left its mouth, and then shot towards the Uchiha Mitsurugi in mid-air.
Uchiha Mitsunori frowned slightly, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes. He drew out two kunai with explosive tags attached, swung his arms, and threw them accurately, one in front and one behind.
Two deafening explosions rang out, and the powerful shockwave created a storm in the air, shaking the surrounding trees and causing leaves to fall.
Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Mitsumine clasped his four arms together, flapping them like wings to forcefully increase the drag on his body, avoiding the flying stones, and his body began to fall from the sky.
Although Earth Release: Earth Clone has a physical clone, it is not very resistant to damage. The shockwaves and flying debris from the two explosions have already destroyed this earth clone.
After landing, Uchiha Mitsunori became alert again and carefully observed his surroundings.
Currently, he is in the Land of Earth, where Iwagakure ninjas may come after him at any time, so he must leave this place as soon as possible.
Before leaving, he checked his attributes: Chakra: 81/996, Eye Power: 72/958...
Looking at his dwindling chakra and ocular power, he sighed helplessly, turned around, and sped off in the southwest...
