Naruto - The Wind Calamity

Chapter 134 : The Sea is Vast

Tokuhei chased rapidly after Juichi. After travelling a bit, he encountered Juichi's clone. He immediately recognized that it was a clone.

He wanted to ignore it and move around, but the clone attacked him. After a small clash, Tokuhei managed to injure the clone and dispel it.

After reaching the place where he fought with Juichi, he found another clone. Not seeing Juichi anywhere, Tokuhei decided to take his anger out on the clone.

The water clone saw Tokuhei and immediately attacked with Water bullets. Tokuhei made a few hand signs.
'Earth Release : Mud Wall jutsu'
He spat out a mud wall in front of him to block the attack.

The Mud wall blocked all the water bullets. Tokuhei made a few more hand signs and slammed his right palm on the mud wall. The mud wall immediately began shooting out mud shurikens at the water clone.

However, the clone managed to dodge everything. The speed of the mud shurikens was slower due to the drag inside the water.

The two exchanged more attacks. As they kept fighting, Tokuhei's mood kept getting worse. Though the clone didn't manage to land any hits on him, the fact that he couldn't defeat the clone of a not-so-famous Jounin for so long hurt his pride!

After a couple of minutes, the clone's chakra was almost exhausted.
It stopped attacking and said, "There is no need to fight anymore."
Tokuhei stopped, but his face was ugly!

The clone smirked on seeing his expression. He said, "My main body has already escaped far away. You will never be able to catch him. I can tell you that my main body has no intention of returning to the Land of Hot Water. However, if you keep hunting me persistently, I will give up on a peaceful life and go back to the Land of Hot Water occasionally to kill your civilians. Convey this message to your Daimyo."

Tokuhei's face was ugly. However, he didn't reply. There was no point in talking with a Water clone. After all, the message wouldn't travel to the main body. Seeing his ugly face, the water clone laughed.

His body began dispersing. Hearing his laughter finally pushed Tokuhei off the edge. He moved forward. A Mud spear formed in his right hand. It solidified instantly and he threw it at the clone. He thought, 'At the very least, I will dispel this clone!'

Juichi's clone smiled and made a hand sign. His water body's shape began deforming. The mud spear passed through its body without harming it. The clone's body transformed into a water blade that slashed at Tokuhei's face.

At such a close distance, Tokuhei had no time to harden his skin. He immediately tried moving out of the way. The Water blade hit his right cheek and left a cut on it.

The cut wasn't serious. However, it was a big slap to his face. It was a big blow to his pride. After such a pitiful performance, with what face could he ask the Daimyo for more funds?

Not wanting to give up like that, he tried searching for Juichi fruitlessly!

After killing Mitsuzuka, Renjiro stored his body and left for where Fumimaro and his clone had clashed to check if any trails were available.

Meanwhile, Fujin, Mieko and Hoka tried to search for others. Renjiro's clone followed them silently. After searching for some time, Hoka finally saw Shusaku fighting against an enemy.

Not having any way to sneak attack in the middle of the sea, they decided to attack from the front. They immediately flickered towards them.

Shusaku and Saga Shoraku were equally matched against each other. Both had water affinity. They had just clashed with each other and were separated by a few meters when the trio flickered in and attacked without warning.
