Wagarashi Tomio was keeping an eye on Renjiro the whole time. The Chunin had just begun explaining the situation to him, telling him about a wind slash and how it was accompanied by winds that cut when Renjiro created a clone.
He immediately commanded, "Get ready. I'll engage that Jounin. All chunins will fight alongside me."
He looked at his second-in-command and commanded, "Masato, lead the genins and kill those three brats."
Mano Masato was standing right next to Tomio. He had a sword hanging from his waist. Since he was an Elite Chunin, his rank and power were second only to Tomio among the ninja here. Even overall, his power was only weaker than Tomio and Norio. He had worked with Tomio for a long time, and Tomio considered him his right hand. He nodded to the command given.
Team Renjiro flickered till they were 20 meters away from them. Renjiro made a hand sign, 'Water Release : Water Cannon jutsu'
Tomio too made a few hand signs while shouting, "Scatter and Dodge"
'Water Release : Water Wall jutsu'
On hearing his command, all of the enemy ninjas moved back a bit. Renjiro spat a jet of water on them. In response, Tomio created a water wall between them. The wall stopped the jet for a mere fraction of a second. However, that was enough for his ninjas to see the trajectory and dodge the attack.
The water jet penetrated the water wall with ease and then sliced it in two as Renjiro moved his head from left to right. The water jet was dodged, however, it kept traveling, hitting the trees in the still undamaged forest. The water jet cut through a few trees with ease before it ran out of energy.
The enemy ninja noticed the damage caused by just one attack. Their face became grim. They prepared themselves for a bitter battle. They regrouped into 2 groups in a few seconds. 1st with Tomio as the leader and 5 chunins and the second with Masato as the leader and 11 genins.
Renjiro noticed this and assaulted Tomio and the chunins.
The trio of Fujin, Hoka, and Mieko moved towards the genins. Renjiro's clone followed them at a distance and kept a close eye.
Konoha Genins Vs Masato and Genins -
All the 3 Konoha genins had noticed that Masato's chakra level was the 2nd highest in the whole group. While moving towards them, Mieko stated, "I want the strong guy."
However, Hoka argued, "No, I want him."
Fujin said, "He seems strong, both of you take on him. I'll eliminate the rest and join you."
Masato and the rest also ran toward the kids running towards them. The group had mixed feelings regarding the 3 kids running toward them. The ones from the 3rd wave thought, 'We need to eliminate them quickly and then aid in killing that jounin from Konoha.' While the ones from the 2nd wave hoped, 'Masato-sama should be able to handle those demon kids.'
Among the 11 genins, one had seen Mieko use Sharingan earlier. He shouted, "Don't look in her eyes, she has Sharingan!" That alerted Masato. He wasn't aware of this. He unsheathed his sword.
Mieko was faster than Hoka. She reached Masato first and instantly used 'Fire Release : Four jutsu' that she had already prepared.
Masato kept his eye on her hand and raised his Sword to block the heat ray. The attack heated his blade but didn't make the handle much hot. At that time, Hoka flanked him and attacked with Gentle Fist. He smirked, 'He is in range.'
However, Masato moved slightly so that the Four jutsu won't hit him and then slashed his hot sword at Hoka. Hoka was caught off-guard and dodged backward. Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough.
The tip of the sword touched his chest. It cut through his shirt with ease and left a thin line across his chest. Luckily, since he had moved backward, the cut was very shallow. Masato moved forward to chase him, but Mieko threw a few shurikens at him, which he blocked with his sword.
While he dodged them, Mieko flickered and stood next to Hoka. They prepared to fight him.
At the same time, the 11 genins wanted to join in the fray and aid Masato. However, Fujin flickered in between them and Masato and created 11 Wind clones. 1 kept eye on Masato, while the rest engaged 1 genin each.
One of the genins rushed toward Fujin. Fujin too took a step and moved toward him. While moving, he grabbed a sword in his right hand. His opponent had a Kunai in his hand.
On closing the distance, Fujin slashed his sword. The enemy genin saw it and smirked. He stamped hard on the debris below and jumped back. When he suddenly stepped back, Fujin's sword slashed through empty air.
The opponent kept smirking, 'Ha! These inexperienced newbies. Always fall for the simplest trick in the book.' He pulled his arm behind him and was about to throw his kunai at Fujin when something hit his body.
The hit created a cut across his body, starting from his right shoulder, to the left side of his hip. The cut kept getting deeper, and cut him into two. Fujin thought, 'Not a bad move. Unfortunately, he was out of his league.'
At the same time, all 10 of Fujin's Wind clones had engaged the enemy genins. They kept fighting at mid-range and used Wind Explosion jutsu to prevent opponents from using any jutsu.
Fujin observed around him, 'Now that I'm free, time to cut down their numbers.'
He flickered in the next instant and appeared behind a genin who was fighting his clone. The genin was surprised when he noticed someone appearing behind him. Unfortunately, before he could react, a sword pierced through his heart.
In a few seconds, Fujin cut down 4 more genins. The others noticed Fujin killing their comrades with extreme ease and panicked. They quickly disengaged from the wind clones and tried to regroup.
Masato, who was engaged in a fight with Mieko and Hoka also noticed this. He tried to help them, but he was obstructed by Mieko and Hoka.
Unfortunately for the enemy genins, regrouping wasn't going to be easy. Noticing that all the enemies have disengaged his clones, Fujin flickered again and appeared behind one of them. That genin noticed and quickly turned around and swung his kunai. In response, Fujin slashed with his sword.
Both the kunai and the sword clashed. Fujin's opponent wanted to use this clash to jump behind and get away from him.
Unfortunately, Fujin's sword cut through his kunai. It continued ahead and cut the unsuspecting genin into two. Fujin noticed the shock plastered on the enemy's face when he noticed his kunai being cut in two.
At the same time, another opponent was ganged upon by 4 of Fujin's clones. 2 of the clones used all their chakra to form Wind explosion jutsu and scored perfect hits. The other 2 beheaded him when he was very injured.
The remaining 3 genins managed to regroup. But they were instantly besieged by Fujin's 8 wind clones, while Fujin stood slightly behind his clones.
The 3 genins stood with their backs to each other. Fujin saw it and analyzed, 'I guess I can't flicker behind them now. Anyways, time to end this.' He said in a low voice, "Wind Breakthrough jutsu everyone."
Fujin's clones heard him, and all used Great Breakthrough jutsu at the same time. The 3 genins, who were at the center instantly became trapped and slammed against each other as they couldn't move due to being hit by strong winds from all sides. They began yelling loudly.
Fujin observed the wind patterns and then swung his sword. A slash flew through the strong winds and reached the trapped genins. In an instant, all 3 were beheaded.
With all 10 genins killed, Fujin turned his attention to the chunin Mieko and Hoka were fighting.
