Chapter 880 : Impact of Fujin's Interference!
🕑 Added 2025-03-01 23:40:37 +0000 UTCDarui thought, ‘So, that's what he meant! I need to help Yugito!’
His figure disappeared once again. Aided by Lightning, his speed was immense. He moved around Akuro to get to Yugito. Unfortunately, before he could do so, Akuro appeared next to him, moving at the same speed and swung his blade at Darui. Darui quickly raised his broadsword to block the attack. He succeeded in intercepting the blade, but, to his surprise, he felt a massive force. At the next second, Darui was launched like a cannonball through the dense forest!
Samui and C quickly moved, flickering in front of Yugito to buy her some time. Sadly, they weren't in the same league as Yugito or Darui. No sooner that they appeared, they sensed a Lightning charge next to them. Their eyes moved, only to see Akuro standing between them. Their bodies instinctively moved, raising their weapons to block Akuro's attacks.
Samui barely got her tanto up in time to block Akuro's slash, but the difference in strength was huge. Samui knew that and tried to flicker backwards preemptively to avoid getting injured. Her plan was to use Akuro's strength to help her get away from him. Unfortunately, she underestimated his speed. Even though her lightning-enhanced tanto blocked Akuro's sword, it continued on by pushing her tanto behind. The sword nicked her, leaving a 5 inch cut on the side of her abdomen. Fortunately, due to her earlier actions, she wasn't cut any further and was sent flying through the forest just like Darui.
As for C, his blade was kicked by Akuro. Even though Fujin hadn't mastered the Lightning Chakra Mode, his strength was still increased considerably due to it. The blade failed to stop his kick and it landed on C's left arm. He grunted in pain as his elbow was dislocated before he was sent flying just like his remaining two teammates.
Though neither bought much time, their screams helped Yugito get a hold of herself. Even when she was barely conscious, Matatabi's chakra was continuously healing the horrendous injuries inflicted by the lightning strike. So, she was no longer in danger.
Her eyes snapped open and Matatabi's chakra flared through her body once again! A small blue cloak formed around her, similar to Naruto's cloak before he unleashed the fourth tail and a crazed look appeared in her eyes. However, her eyes widened as they were filled with just one scene. Before she could completely unleash Matatabi's chakra, Akuro's kick landed straight on her face, sending her flying backwards. The impact once again made Yugito blank out for a few seconds. Luckily, Matatabi's chakra continued healing her.
Akuro looked at her and thought, ‘First the incomplete Tailed Beast Bomb and now the continuous healing… There's no doubt. She has become a perfect Jinchuriki. Though, there may still be some flaws. Her crazed look earlier could imply that Matatabi still has some afterthoughts. However, they should be soothed soon. Regardless, she'll be considered the 3rd Perfect Jinchuriki. Sigh, what an improvement…’
Instead of continuing his attack, Akuro moved continuously as black lightning rained down on him. Darui, despite being sent flying for nearly half a kilometer, returned in no time. As the two repeatedly clashed, Akuro analyzed, ‘C improved his jutsus, creating a hybrid jutsu containing aspects of both Genjutsu and Ninjutsu. His sensing abilities have also improved. Samui's chakra flow has refined further and she is learning barrier techniques. Yugito became a perfect Jinchuriki.
Darui learnt the Lightning Chakra Mode and has even incorporated his black lightning into the technique. Though his control over it is worse than mine, he's improving by leaps and bounds. I can't say if he'll get as strong as Ay, but he'll be a powerhouse in rank S very soon.
All four have improved vastly since my first encounter with them. As I expected… Repeated encounters with me forced them to push themselves further. Leaving them alive in my first encounter was the right decision, hehe. They were the perfect team to practice my Lightning Ninjutsus on.
Anyway, these four aren't the only ones who improved. I'm not sure how strong Naruto and Sasuke have gotten by now, but there's another who has grown scarily in recent times. He might be an even better sparring partner than Darui, but how do I force him to battle this identity of mine…?’
Fujin continued thinking while fighting with Darui. Aided by the Lightning Chakra Mode, the two moved at high speeds. Understanding the difference in their strength, Darui avoided direct physical clashes with Akuro and instead resorted to Lightning jutsus.
Fujin, who knew there wasn't much to experiment with his speed and physical prowess, was happy to play along and engaged in a Ninjutsu showdown with Darui. Their battle completely destroyed whatever remained of the beautiful terrain. It also gave time to Darui's teammates to catch their breaths and heal their injuries.
C healed his and Samui's injuries while Matatabi's chakra healed Yugito. Samui muttered, “He's far stronger than the last time we fought against him!”
Yugito nodded, “He didn't use the Lightning Chakra Mode in our previous fights. He only used it today because Darui used it first. Was he only toying with us earlier?”
C gritted his teeth and replied, “He's still toying with us! Earlier, his speed was far higher than Darui's, but now they are evenly matched. He's treating us less like enemies and more like children!”
Samui said, “He does claim that he is from an ancient era. What's the plan now?”
C answered, “We have to stall until Raikage-sama reaches here. Darui is keeping him entertained for now, but he can't maintain this mode for a long time. We'll need to take turns to keep him occupied. Yugito, when Darui retreats, you take the lead. Samui and I will assist you from the back.”
Samui and Yugito nodded. C continued monitoring the battle with his chakra field while the three of them caught their breath.
As Fujin and Darui clashed, Fujin thought, ‘It's complicated. Creating a legitimate reason is more or less impossible. That said, I have never bothered creating legitimate reasons for Akuro's actions. I could simply run into him ‘accidentally’ and fight him for looking at me the wrong way.
I guess that'll cause even more confusion about Akuro's intentions, but whatever. It's not like it matters. All that matters is my identity remains a secret. Though, that could be a challenge too due to his abilities. Oh well, I'll think about it later. I'll settle this battle for now.
As much as I'd love to fight against Ay, I still can't take him on with only my Lightning jutsus. Once I improve my Lightning Chakra Mode, I can target him. Besides, if he arrives, I won't be able to do that…’
Fujin saw as 12 black lightning panthers closed in on him from various directions. He immediately moved while building up his chakra and appeared at a spot where all the 12 black lightning panthers were between him and Darui.
‘Lightning Release: Chaotic Lightning Assault’
Fujin extended his arms and a large spinning tube of Lightning formed in front of him. Without wasting any time, Fujin launched it straight at Darui at a very high speed. Yet, the large distance between them meant that Darui, who's speed was boosted by the Lightning Chakra Mode, had little problem in moving out of the way.
Darui stepped to his left as he wondered, ‘What is Akuro planning? Even though that jutsu is fast, it won't hit me. And, due to its form, it won't neutralize my black panthers either… What in the…???’
The speed of the lightning tube was so high that the tube itself became highly unstable and began falling apart as it travelled towards Darui. As a result, powerful Lightning bolts were randomly hurled outwards due to the massive centrifugal force the Lightning was subjected to.
As a result, the black panthers that Darui had moved out of the way were all hit by those powerful lightning bolts. Not a single one survived and all exploded, damaging the terrain further. The unstable lightning tube continued moving ahead at the same high speed and reached Darui's location when he had barely moved 5 meters to his left.
However, instead of continuing forward, the tube collapsed entirely and all lightning contained in it was hurled around in a spiral manner. Most of the Lightning bolts hit the ground, flew into the sky or moved on the other side, but around 20% of it moved towards Darui.
Even though Darui was ridiculously fast, this change caught him off guard. He had prepared himself to dodge a dozen lightning bolts, but seeing hundreds of bolts shocked him. He did his best and dodged nearly half of them, but the other half hit him!
Had it been Ay, such a jutsu wouldn't hurt him. Unfortunately, Darui's lightning cloak lacked heavily compared to him. It blocked the first few bolts, but every single one after that caused him grave pain. The right half of his body was badly burnt by the lightning bolts!
Before he could gather himself, he heard, “It's a shame you haven't mastered this technique yet…”
Darui suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and blacked out, collapsing in the destroyed forest!

Nah DH will definitely be blessed with lots of cheats and golden fingers.
Veileihi
Yeah... nah for real though I'm getting worried :|
Aetherist
What a dark thought you have there... but can you imagine if it were true? I would feel sorry for him, because the Naruto universe is a shitty place to be...
Dailoo
Let us take all take a moment of silence. 🙏😭
Veileihi
Bro has actually died at his desk; perhaps isekaied into his own novel...

REST IN PEAECE Devil Hex
kiwwy
Ok officially this is worrying, someone go see him at his house XD
runneng hu
our author went to an isekai? hahaha
Muzika Migochi
This is how tsunade felt when fujin was busy extracting shukaku's chakra
Muzika Migochi
🤣 scary hours
Yamir

The longest of slumbers
Devine
For 3 days?
Dailoo
Guys it’s not looking good👀
rain

Mohammed Sheekh
I very well hope so
Mohammed Sheekh
Hex you good? First time you went silent this long without an update on yourself or if anything is happening
Jai Behl
ETA?
Ren
After all these years… I doubt it.😢
Devine
Are you alive DH?
Book Warm
Maybe DH want to surprise us with something, like maybe a chapter of his new fanfic or new novel xD
Book Warm
I feel like he not sure of his ultimate achievement, I kinda feel like fujin think he have a shot to become really strong, live really long, he not sure start any deep connection would hurt him if he really could live really long
Greedsmith
Hey DH, is everything alright? Just wondering, no need to rush or anything. Just make sure you eat, drink and sleep enough and stuff like that.
Jack Nathaniel Mikhail
I feel that Fujin does not have a sense of connection/belonging with Konoha or even this world. Everything he does basically seems to be a means to empower himself. Just the kind of MC I like, though I wonder if he feels lonely 🤔
Yamir
💀💀💀
runneng hu
Tomorrow we will have 3 chapters? Haha
cory hawks
Been rereading through the story, and I am curious about Fujin's personality. Does Fujin view Konoha as his home? If not, why? He does realize that Konoha isn't some city in an anime, that it's the place he grew up in, and anyone in this world that actually cares about him all live there?
Muzika Migochi
No lie what I'm most excited about the most is how hex is gonna write the five kage summit 🫠 although its far sigh
Ren
They probably trying to finish two chapters in one go right now or they got writers block or they passed out… they probably fine
kiwwy
Is Hex okay?
Ren
They locked in mhm mhm
Devine
No. Nobody in konoha knows that he knows Lightning jutsu. Also if he discloses it they will maybe discover that he is akuro and was the one who attacked Root.
cory hawks
If Fujin is thinking about wanting to spar with Kakashi and how he can get it to happen, can't he as Fujin just walk up to him and ask him to spar?
QanonMinority
I highly doubt it
Dark Koro
ETA ? Will it be a double release?
Kwabena Kumi
Anbu is a special unit some are weaker and some are way stronger than kakashi(itachi)...look at the time he killed his whole village...was all of them weak? his abilities were jus stronger...and how old was he when he did it?...after that he didnt get weaker but stronger...so it didnt matter if he didn't cuz itachi told kakashi that because those are not his eyes he doesnt have the strength to use them the same way as him....so he'll still be weaker even if he wasn't depressed(in my opinion)
Yamir
Well, it's debatable maybe the correct word is not "potential", instead of "potential," it should be "talent." My argument for this is that Kakashi was promoted to jonin at age 12, and Itachi attained his Anbu rank at the age 11. In the anime, the Anbu rank was hyped up, and Kakashi even mentioned that there were kids stronger than him. In retrospect, it's very obvious that he was referring to Itachi. This would suggest that Itachi was superior to Kakashi in every way. However, you also have to consider that it's very likely Kakashi stopped training after Rin's death due to depression. Additionally, this novel is an AU, and the Anbu rank is not better than the jonin rank for consistency reasons.
Kwabena Kumi
Better than itachi???...bro I dont see it...hiruzen said it himself he was hokage level way back he was never serious in his fights..with his sharingan he didnt need to do much...but he had way more in his arsenal..obito even said he let sasuke win if he wanted sasuke dead he would be and that is after time skip and danzo
Jaimenz
That's actually ingenious. Don't know if that's true but if it is....
Jaimenz
That made sense but I was also talking about his fight with Iwa. Is he trying to learn all chakra nature's? Or is he just collecting resources?
Dip
Hex's long lost son returned!?
Yamir
Kakashi potential was crazy as fuck even crazier than itachi and he doesn't even have any genetic gift.
Devil Hex
Unsure if I can complete it today. Will try to, but can't promise. Gonna lock in again.
Zaoprimo
pain wants to get all the tail holders, so if he trains the team that rotates and protects the tail holder, it will be harder for pain to get it
Ren
6 hours mhm
Devine
ETA?
Yamir
Yeah I thought you are referring that akuro is using shadow clones to fight against kumo nins 😅
Zaoprimo
but if akuro and fujin are the same person, have you already seen fujin use the shadow clone to learn techniques faster or did i imagine it?
Yamir
Akuro is using the shadow clone jutsu?
Zypharus
Wait...What!?
Noosemaker
Thanks for the chapter dad
Yamir
Not a big boost, since Fujin's wind affinity is so high that it would only improve by a slight margin anyway. The bigger gain is the chakra, and since Fu is one of the easiest Jinchuriki to capture or mark, Fujin has no reason not to target her.
Devine Satanus
Didnt he say it? He wants to improve his lightning jutsu and he can only do it with his Akuro identity because Fujin doesnt know lightning. He only knows Wind, Fire and earth in the eyes of Konoha. But maybe he has another reason.
Jaimenz
Nice chapter as usual. Is there a reason why he's going around picking fights in alter egos? Is this just one of those Fujin-isms? Or will there be a chapter explaining his short term goals later?
Zypharus
Nice fight, and can't wait for Akuro VS Kakashi!!! That would be Peak combat!!!
Yamir
Well my source is the spanish version of naruto wiki, and a copilation of all wind style jutsus in Naruto Storm 4 Next Generations, here the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B929lnwQ6Ag 8:40
Greedsmith
It’s not, though. And it would be super logical for Chōmei to have Wind Release. Chōmei is also the only Tailed Beast which would make the tiniest bit of sense (IMO) to have Lightning Release, if you want all the affinities covered.
Greedsmith
Really? In which game? I’d have expected that to be written in the Fandom. Are you also sure that it’s Chōmei and not just Fū? Btw, I’m not saying that Chōmei shouldn’t have Wind Release, it absolutely should and DH could easily just write that in if he wanted to, no need for canonicity confirmation.
Greedsmith
He’s thinking of Kakashi, isn’t he? ————— [No sooner that they appeared] than they* [pushing her tanto behind.] tanto away.*? (Idk, it just kinda sounds weird to me, but I could totally be wrong on this one.) [Akuro looked at her and thought,] Fujin* (since it’s in his pov again)
rain
nah, leave the wind affinity just for shukaku, i dont want everything handed to fujin on a silver platter.
Yamir
Thanks for the chapter!! So he will only capture the two tails once he can no longer improve his lightning release by sparring with kumogakure ninjas? Also, i just remembered that the seven tails has a wind affinity in the games, so capturing or marking Fū should be a top priority for Fujin.
Hibrael Pereira
Thanks for the chapter
Qweku_v
Nice
Zaoprimo
the shadow clone technique continues to remain completely OP, it's the only way to fight everyone using their favorite element, what an amazing technique
Micky
Yo
