Chapter 62: Fujin's Decision

Fujin concluded, 'Oh, so Mieko lost and ran away? Who's the coward now? Anyways, whom to attack?

Since Mieko ran away, it's safe to assume that she's injured. Most likely Hoka managed to block some of her chakra points. Maybe one or two. Any more, and Hoka wouldn't have given her any chance to run away.'

Hoka too was thinking at the same time, 'Fujin will most probably target Mieko, as she's the one who ran away. I should be ready to hit him after he fights her for some time.

Mieko sat while resting against a tree after retreating to the opposite end of the training ground. She was very annoyed with herself, 'I put my guard down, that's why I got hit. Otherwise, I could have beaten him as I was suppressing him throughout the fight.'

She looked at her left arm. It was swollen, 'He blocked the chakra point on my left arm. I won't be able to create hand signs. Even moving this arm is very painful.'

She began applying first aid on her left arm. She didn't bother hiding, as she knew that both Fujin and Hoka wouldn't have any issue tracking her.

While applying first-aid, she thought, 'Fujin will most likely attack me soon, I need to be ready.'

Hoka kept his Byakugan activated. He kept an eye on Mieko while waiting for Fujin to make a move. Soon, he noticed something moving at a very rapid speed.

In the next second, he noticed Fujin approaching him, 'So fast! Why is he moving towards me? He's already here.'

Hoka looked straight ahead, Fujin was already standing on a branch. He took his fighting stance.

Unfortunately for him, as soon as he reached there, Fujin released a supercharged (5%) Great Breakthrough jutsu toward Hoka.

Hoka quickly erected a Rock shield to protect himself. He was shocked by the power of the Great Breakthrough jutsu, 'Why is this so strong? Did he learn any rank B jutsus? Damn! Not good!'



Later, even despite the protection of the rock shields, his left ankle got injured, rather badly. Finally, the tremors died down and Hoka managed to get above the ground.

That's exactly where Fujin was, but unfortunately, he didn't have a choice.

As soon as he got out of the ground, a Kunai was placed at the back of his neck. He saw Fujin standing in front of him. He said, "Give up. You've lost."

Hoka unwillingly accepted his loss, "I give up."

As soon as he said that, Fujin's wind clone dispersed himself.

The fight only took 2 attacks. 1 Great Breakthrough jutsu and 1 punch.

Mieko noticed the winds blowing and heard a big noise when Fujin punched the ground. Unfortunately, she was too far away to understand what was happening. She wondered, 'Are Fujin and Hoka fighting? Should I go and check? No, I'm injured, let me wait for a bit. The chakra point will open up soon.'

As soon as Hoka gave up, Fujin flickered away toward Mieko. He noticed that Mieko was now standing in a spot with no trees around, 'Not bad. She knows that hiding is pointless. So she stayed in open ground to not give any chance to sneak attack.

Actually, I can still sneak up on her from behind. But, I'm pretty sure that she has deliberately left this opening. The area around her should be full of traps.

Having figured out her tactic, Fujin began making wind clones. 20 Wind clones appeared around Fujin. Fujin then suppressed his chakra and hid behind a tree.

His wind clones dispersed through the forest, surrounding Mieko from all sides while still hiding.

One clone moved to a path that allowed him to sneak up on her. On route, the clone noticed that there were a lot of strings on the ground. He smirked, having guessed right.
