Chapter 61: Chapter 60 : Spar - Hoka Vs Mieko
Mieko and Hoka both cursed him and his annoying Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu. Hoka activated his Byakugan and noticed him appearing 600 meters away.
But he disappeared soon, and this time went out of the Byakugan's range.
Mieko cursed, "Fujin is as cowardly as usual."
Hoka and Mieko looked at each other deciding what decision to take.
Around a kilometer away from the initial location, Fujin kept sensing the location of the other 2. They were still in the same position. He smiled thinking, 'The duration of the fight is 13 hours. I guess Renjiro analyzed that we won't be able to decide the winner in a few fights.
So the winner will depend on who has the most amount of chakra. The best way for me would be to force multiple rounds so that all of us lose an equal amount of chakra. And I'll be able to win easily due to my larger reserves. Especially considering that Byakugan and Sharingan use a decent amount of chakra while being activated.
But knowing these 2, I have no doubt that they'll fight intensely, hehe.'
Back at the starting position, Mieko and Hoka were observing each other. Hoka was analyzing, 'So what do I do? Do I hide too until Fujin comes out? Or do we track Fujin first before fighting? Or should I try to beat her first and then beat Fujin?
No, that'll be tough. Not to mention, Fujin loves to sneak attack. He won't miss the chance to attack when we are fighting.'
On the other hand, Mieko too was having similar doubts. But compared to Hoka, she was a lot more arrogant. She dumped all the questions she had while deciding, 'I'll just defeat Hoka quickly before Fujin can act. In a 1v1 fight, I'll be able to defeat both of them with ease.'
Having made her decision, Mieko activated her Sharingan and rushed toward Hoka. This broke Hoka out of his thoughts, and he prepared to fight.
He cautioned himself, 'I have to avoid looking into her eyes. While I can break her Genjutsu easily, it'll be tough to do so quickly enough.'
Mieko flickered a few meters ahead of Hoka and rapidly made a few hand signs and launched a Fireball jutsu on him.
Hoka quickly moved out of the way, and then ran towards Mieko with the intention of using Gentle Fist to close her chakra points. Mieko quickly flickered out of range and launched shurikens on Hoka.
Knowing that she uses strings on her Shuriken, Hoka too threw his own shuriken, which collided with hers and deflected them.
Mieko used this opportunity to close the distance, and used Fire Release : Four jutsu on Hoka.
Hoka barely managed to dodge, but it razed past his shirt, burning it. A bit of the skin on the side of his abdomen was also burnt.
He bore the pain and closed the distance. This time, Mieko didn't back off and engaged him with her Uchiha Taijutsu style.
Using her Sharingan, she ensured that she never got hit by his Gentle fist.
Instead, she tried to use her Fire Release : Four jutsu on Hoka. However, Hoka noticed it every time and kept dodging it.
All this time, Mieko kept trying to put Hoka under Genjutsu, but it never worked on Hoka. Hoka's Byakugan can determine when Mieko is about to cast a Genjutsu.
So, whenever she prepares her Genjutsu, Hoka avoided looking into her eyes and disrupted his own chakra slightly. This ensured that Mieko never managed to cast a Genjutsu on him.
But this also distracted him, which allowed Mieko to fight him equally in close combat.
After a few minutes, however, Mieko ended up having a lot of close calls, with Hoka almost hitting her several times.
So she flickered backward. Hoka followed her, but she flickered again, starting a tag game. Mieko's control over and skill with Body Flicker jutsu was much higher than Hoka's though. So she regained her advantage.
Not able to keep up with Mieko's flickers, Hoka gave up chasing her and stood his ground, 'Knowing her arrogance, she'll come close to fight me anyways. So I don't need to chase her.'
Seeing that Hoka had stopped chasing her, she came close to him instead while weaving hand signs. However, unlike what Hoka predicted, she stayed at mid-range and uses Fire Dragon jutsu!
Not having anything to counter, he flickered away from the line of Fire Dragon. Finally sick of trying to engage her in close combat, Hoka used Stone Shuriken jutsu.
The jutsu surprised Mieko, but thanks to her Sharingan, she was able to dodge or block all of them.
Unfortunately for her, she overlooked Hoka, who using this time, appeared right in front of her and stabbed 2 fingers toward her.
Seeing that, Mieko freaked out a little, 'Damn, I have to block!' In a hurry, she put her arm in between, and Hoka hit a chakra point on her arm.
As soon as her arm gets hit, she flickered away. Hoka expected her to return, but instead, she just ran away, surprising Hoka, 'Never thought she'll run away.'
He waited there for a few seconds thinking, 'Both my opponents ran away. So shouldn't I be the winner?'
He then sighed, 'Unfortunately, the next step will depend on Fujin. I and Mieko are finally far away from each other, and tired from a battle. Even injured. So the question is who will he attack?'
Around a kilometer from where the fighting was happening, Fujin kept sensing their chakras throughout their clash. When they kept fighting, he really wished that he had some popcorn and a tv to watch the fight.
Unfortunately, he had to stay hidden long away. The fight continued for over 7 minutes, before he sensed Mieko's chakra signature going far away from Hoka.
