The Masked Uchiha moved among the soldiers as if he was dancing. He displayed amazing Taijutsu as he moved through the all of them and crushed the entire force. Minazuki and Team 2 tensed as the Masked Uchiha moved towards them with a relaxed swagger."Ara, is this all it was? I was looking forward to more, I haven"t had enough fun yet, ya know. Come on!" Masked Uchiha
Taunting them like that he rushed towards them. Minazuki clenched his teeth and move towards the guy to stop him. However, he alone was not a match for him and it was proved quickly when the masked person forced him to be on defensive without any chance for counterattack.
Seeing Itachi and others about to fight the enemy, Jun decided to help them and was about to join them too. However Hinoki stopped him.
"What are you going to do?" Hinoki
"I have to save them. This guy is really dangerous yet they don"t realize that. They think he is just a slightly stronger criminal because of his att.i.tude. Itachi said he had Sharingan and I agree with that. But, has n.o.body noticed that despite having a Sharingan he has not yet launched a single jutsu? He is playing with them!" Jun
"I did notice Jun, this white hair of mine comes from experience and not old age. Now calm down and think. What do you truly need to do right now? Rush madly at the enemy like a crazy chicken, or observe the enemy and make appropriate according to his weakness?" Hinoki
"… We need a backup plan in case they lose. We need to arrange method of protection." Jun
"And how do we do that?" Hinoki asked wanting his disciple to find the answer himself. Shin.o.bi blossoms best under pressure.
"Counter. We will create a counter attack that can counter him while defending us too!" Jun
"Excellent! Now we need to figure out his strength and create that counter for it." Hinoki said smiling
After deciding their plan Hinoki and Jun joined the fight along with others.
"Itachi, you and Tenma help Minazuki sensei with close combat. Master and I will support you guys along with Inari." Jun instructed as they attacked the masked Uchiha.
Seeing Hinoki and Jun joining as well Masked Uchiha got a bit serious. Minazuki tried to take advantage of this and threw a kunai at him. However strangely the guy distorted slightly and the kunai pa.s.sed through him.
"What?!" Minazuki "An illusion? No, I don"t feel anything like it though. How … it clearly went through him!"
"Not an Illusion." Jun mumbled "illusion doesn"t work on me. This feeling… s.p.a.ce Distortion." Jun mumbled. He turned to Hinoki and said "Master, its spatial distortion. I can feel it, he is somehow making his body be there yet not using some form of s.p.a.ce release or some unique powers."
Hinoki"s expression darkened on hearing that. s.p.a.ce was one of the most difficult elements to defend or fight against, he knew Jun had unlocked it a while back but apart from Flying Thunder G.o.d no other technique was known yet by them.
While Jun and Hinoki thought about countering his technique, Itachi and Tenma tried to find anyway that would work on the guy. Their every weapon pa.s.sed through him without harming him.
"Don"t **** with me you …!" Minazuki sneak attacked kicking towards the head. The Masked Uchiha ducked, deflecting the kick upwards with elbow. At the same time he delivered a straight kick towards Itachi who was throwing a punch towards him. Tenma tried to attack between this, but the masked Uchiha jumped up and twisted his body mid-air sending a round house kick towards Tenma"s head. Tenma flew tens of meters away, spewing blood as he bounced on the ground.
"Tenma!" Inari screamed and went to check up on him. Itachi viewed Tenma lying on the ground wide eyed and turned towards masked Uchiha. Quickly forming hand seals he fired away a Ninjutsu towards him.
"Fire Style: Grand Fireball" Itachi spewed an enormous fireball towards him. Minazuki, not wanting to be left behind blew and enormous wind release, mixing up with the grand fireball it turned into a maelstrom made of fire and wind. It obscured the entire front, distorting and drying up the very air.
"Oi, that was dangerous! I guess you guys are somewhat good, aren"t you?" masked Uchiha said. He was standing far away from the blaze without a mark on him somehow. "Tobi is finally having fun now! However this much is still not enough" and he teleported behind Minazuki gave a double palm shove from behind. Itachi came to the rescue and prevented Minazuki from flying away from the strike of "Tobi".
"Ara, so weak. Can"t even handle a shove from Tobi. Being distracted is not good ya know!" "Tobi"
"I can say the same to you!" Jun said as he teleported behind "Tobi" and released a wave of plants from the surrounding twisting and covering "Tobi" and released various toxins towards "Tobi". However once more "Tobi" started to distort, but this time Jun was ready.
"s.p.a.ce release: Disturbance!" Jun clapped his hands releasing large amounts of s.p.a.ce elements, saturating the surroundings. They slowly started vibrating creating fine blacks cracks in s.p.a.ce. Additionally it interrupted "Tobi"s" teleportation and injured him slightly. "Tobi" wiped the slight trickle of blood that leaked from under his mask, apparently he had suffered some internal injuries while trying to teleport during that spatial distortion created by Jun. Jun was panting heavily , he had used a lot of chakra during this hastily invented jutsu and it wasn"t perfect yet.
"Very good boy, now it my turn" "Tobi" said while charging chakra into the chain making it glow red hot.
"I was waiting for that" said Jun as dense amount of plants rose behind him like a wave while he ran towards "Tobi".
