Chapter 37 - the attack pt. 7: fuya vs the shadow army

~fuya~

im crouched behind a building in the mist village, i have to find a way to lure the shadows out and group them together, i know that jeiku and ibuki survived because if they didnt ill kill them myself. i was on a team with yori, its a miracle i managed to get away with minor injuries. i was able to block her attack with a wall of flames but unfortunately that drained a lot of chakra, now im in hiding. if i can round up all of the shadows then i can take them out with one big flame ball. the only surefire way i can surround all of the shadows is by making a barrier of flames around this part of the village but that wont work because one i dont have enough chakra to even get that started and two i cant risk hurting any survivors. so i have to do this the hard way, running in circles, literally. i use my flames to propel me up to the top of the building im behind, i spot a few big groups of shadows roaming, the one closest should be good.

"here goes nothing" i mutter as i hop off of the building. i run towards the first group of shadows "hey over here!" i wave my arms in the air and they spot me, they start coming towards me, shit theyre faster than i thought. at this rate they'll catch up to me in a few seconds. i cant waste any chakra so i come to a screeching halt, some of the shadows run past me and the rest stop, im completely surrounded.

"flame scythe!" i make a scythe out of flames and in one fell swoop i spin around 360 degrees, then another 360, the flames dance higher with each spin until it looks like a tornado, the shadows continue to pile up around me, this is it, if i run out of chakra im dead. i estimate ive killed several hundred shadows now, i can feel the slightest slowdown whenever the scythe makes contact with one but i lose track of how many i killed, now i would estimate around a thousand, this is it, my final attack to finish this, i hope it looks cool. the flame scythe explodes sending flames shooting out from every angle, i fall to my knees panting, that was the last of my chakra. i look around and im surrounded by hundreds of thousands of corpses, not a single shadow remains standing that i can see, i hope i didnt hurt any survivors. then i pass out
