Naruto: The Wind Calamity

[A/N: Double Release, either today or tomorrow.]

[A/N: Thought I'd clear this up right now, as it caused quite some confusion on pat reon later on (though I guess I share the blame too as I could have shown the events in the last couple of chapters later in the story).

Anyway, the battle currently happening is quite a complex one and there are several different confrontations happening at the same time. To be more precise, Hiruzen Vs Orochimaru & Senju Brothers, Fujin Vs Juzo & Kaminari, Renjiro Vs Shirogane, Kakashi Vs Sakumo, Guy Vs Zabuza, Hoka Vs Haku, Fujin's Compound Vs the unfortunate group, Jiraiya Vs other groups are all happening at the same time.

Unfortunately, I can't show them at the same time and it'll feel like the events in the last chapter happened a long time ago when they are happening concurrently to the other fights. The picture will be more clear once all the fights end as I'll add more details (especially about the previous fight) about their timing as events occur. So, keep that in mind when you don't see a particular individual not appearing in another battlefield 🙏]

'That lazyass definitely took it easy because my house is in this direction!'

While Fujin's clone understood Shikaku's thinking, he wasn't happy that some of the defenses of his compound were leaked. Now, everyone would know the existence of a strong barrier that activated once the compound was attacked.

In addition, the smart people would also realize that the attackers would somehow be covered in explosive seals. As such, the effectiveness of his defenses would reduce a bit.

Fujin's clone thought, 'While normal people won't understand the workings of the barrier, any Fuinjutsu Grandmaster can analyze it with rather ease. They'll realize that there are thousands of dormant explosive seals on the barrier that move on to the bodies of whoever comes in physical contact with it.

Of course, they won't be able to replicate it. The principles behind this mechanism are based on the Flying Thunder God mark's ability to move and my Fuin Battlefields. However, they'll be able to create counters to avoid falling into the same trap as these unlucky ninjas and snakes.

Fortunately, this is just my outermost defenses. The barrier followed by the dormant explosive seals are the two crudest defenses around my compound. My main arrangements are still a secret. However, I can't let this go so easily. Otherwise, that bastard will continue exploiting my house!'

Fujin's clone turned his gaze towards an Anbu ninja and said, "Pass a message to Shikaku immediately. Tell him that one of the snakes canceled his summoning, returned to the Ryuchi cave and exploded there, likely killing hundreds of other snakes."

The eyes of the surrounding ninjas popped out as Fujin continued, "The Ryuchi cave might take offense and retaliate against us, either now or when our ninjas go out for missions. The losses could be catastrophic. Ask him to take countermeasures quickly."

The Anbu ninja nodded and flickered in an instant. Considering how serious the matter was, he didn't dare to be tardy.

Fujin glanced at the spot from where the snake disappeared and thought, 'I didn't think a summon would be careless enough to endanger their sacred land. I'd have marked him if I knew… Well, I suppose I can always mark Anko's snakes to gain access there.'

A smile appeared on his face as he thought, 'A place as ancient and mystical as the Ryuchi Cave should be loaded with a lot of good stuff. Considering how strong the snakes are and the sages that exist there, ransacking that place will be fun.'

He broke out of his thoughts as he heard Tatsuya ask, "Fujin, what about the ninjas stuck in the training ground?"

Fujin's clone answered, "They'll be dead soon. No need to worry about them. Instead, keep an eye out for any other bunch that might rush here. The village's defenses in this direction are lacking."

Everyone nodded. Though no one said anything, they couldn't help but be in awe of what Fujin's clone had accomplished. Without leaving the compound, he had killed 3 gigantic snakes and eliminated 26 enemy ninjas! Instead of experiencing a brutal battle, they just had to watch the enemies explode without even stepping a foot into the compound.

Even the experienced Anbu ninjas were excited by what had happened. Needless to say, the morale of the young trainees was off the roof!

"That was exciting! Did you see how those snakes exploded?"

"Even if Fujin sensei isn't here, no one can attack this compound. Whoever attacks gets blown up!"

"Is this what a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster can do? I want to become one too!"

Without any exception, everyone understood how well-protected the compound was and felt fortunate to be living in such a safe space. A few also wondered why Fujin had made such arrangements, but on recalling what they just faced, they stopped guessing and were just thankful that Fujin had the foresight to do this.

In the Hokage's Building, Shikaku was looking outside the window. He was looking at the smoke around Fujin's compound due to the explosions. A Hyuga ninja reported, "Orochimaru's summons exploded and the remaining ninjas in the 7th group are trapped in some sort of barrier in the 23rd Training Ground. I'm unable to see what is happening inside."

Shikaku nodded and thought, 'As I expected. His house is undoubtedly the most protected building in the entire world. I didn't need to send anyone there. Still, I'm curious about the arrangements he made…'

Shikaku instructed, "Tell me everything that you saw happening."

Before the Hyuga ninja could speak, an Anbu ninja flickered in and reported, "Shikaku-sama, I have urgent news from Suzuki Fujin! We may have a big problem!"

Shikaku's eyes widened in shock and a stunned expression appeared on his face as the Anbu ninja passed Fujin's message. He thought, 'An attack on the Ryuchi cave? And hundreds of snakes might be dead? What the hell?'

Shikaku immediately realized how troublesome the matter would be. If snakes sneak attacked Konoha ninjas during the missions, then the losses would be catastrophic. While stronger ninjas like Chunins and Jounins could protect themselves against such sneak attacks, if stronger snakes like Manda moved, even Elite Jounins could fall. In addition, the Ryuchi Cave's Sage would be even stronger and wouldn't have any trouble in going up against rank S ninjas.

Even though Ryuchi Cave's strength wasn't greater than Konoha's, it was a conflict Shikaku would want to avoid at all costs due to how much work it would be for him.

He cursed, 'Shit! I should have known! That brat will never make my work easy! To think he'd retaliate against me so quickly and increase my workload once again! Did the snake really cancel the jutsu or did that demon forcefully cancel the summoning to make life harder?'

Shikaku wanted to cry. He could see how troublesome the future weeks would be for him. He immediately regretted trying to take advantage of Fujin's compound. If he had known that it could cause such complications, he'd have made stopping the 7th group a priority instead! Unfortunately, it was too late for him to do anything about it.

Just then, the Yamanaka ninja in the room reported, "Shikaku-sama, all the snake summons returned at the same time. We don't know how that happened!"

Shikaku immediately realized, 'This should be a result of that snake exploding in the Ryuchi Cave. There is no doubt about it, they are definitely angry. The only question is, who will they take their anger out on? Will it be Orochimaru or us?'

Since Orochimaru was the summoner, he was the main person to be blamed for this mishap. As a summoner, he should have been more responsible. However, it was Konoha who performed the attack, even though they couldn't be blamed. So, Shikaku wasn't entirely sure. He just hoped they focused their rage on Orochimaru so that his life would be more peaceful.

Shikaku let out a sigh and muttered, "One problem at a time. Without the snake summons, the Suna and Oto ninja aren't our match. Pass a message to Lord Jiraiya to go to the arena and help out Lord Hokage. It's time to put an end to their misadventure!"

While Konoha dealt with the 8 groups Orochimaru sent as a distraction, the battles in the arena hadn't stopped. On the contrary, they became far more intense. With the Edo Tensei summons keeping the strongest ninjas busy, the Suna ninja breathed a sigh of relief.

Without Fujin attacking them, their numbers finally stopped dropping drastically. Even though Fujin's assault had dropped their numbers drastically giving Konoha a numerical advantage, the four hundred Suna and a few Oto ninjas, who were still alive, gave their all to hold them back. The only thing that still bothered the Suna ninjas was their Kage's absence.

Intense battles broke throughout the stadium and arena. Since there wasn't enough space for everyone to fight, the battles spilled outside the arena as well. Needless to say, the most intense battles were happening inside the barrier and in the arena. No other ninja dared to step anywhere close to them.

A part of the arena was now covered in ice. Another part looked like a submerged skeleton of an enormous animal. The ground in one part of the arena looked burnt. However, the burns were caused by Lightning instead of fire. A huge chunk of walls around the arena were missing. Instead, huge scars filled with water could be seen on the ground.

"Renjiro! I forced your entire army to retreat a dozen kilometers the last time we met! Even though I have been dead for a while, the result of our battle wouldn't be any different!" Kaguya Shirogane said in an annoyed tone.

For the past few minutes, he had been doing everything he could to go past Renjiro. However, Renjiro used Earth and Water jutsus artfully to keep him restrained and nullify his Kekkei Genkai. Not only did he prevent Shirogane from interfering in other battles, but he did so without getting injured.
