Kapitel 100: Chapter 99- Ishigakure clash
As Konno Tetsuo was explaining the situation to Fujioka, Renjiro picked up a disturbance on his chakra field that was active.
'Hmm..? Someone is heading to the village. It must be the shinobi belonging to the village. They must have been called back for the village due to recent attacks.'
Renjiro's chakra field had seen an explosive growth over the last few years. It had increased from a mere 120 meters to a whole 1.1 Kilometers (just a bit over half a mile).
While most of it was due to the natural growth his body was experiencing, the Magatama process added a majority of the distance. Renjior was now a walking radar.
The fact that he was in a minor village like Ishigakure, which occupied a lesser area, was just icing on the top. This was because Renjiro could sense the whole village and beyond if he put more effort.
As more and more people entered Renjiro's sensing range, the alarm bells in his Head rang. This was not because of their number, but because of their chakra signatures.
'They are definitely stronger than Konoha chunins. Some even as strong as the village. These people can't be from the village, they are the attacking force.'
Right when Renjior wanted to inform Fujioka and the village chef, his aide Tachibana barged into the room and did so, or at least tried to since Renjiro was the one who technically did so.
When the rest registered what Renjiro meant, they did not waste time and immediately got out of Konno's office. When they did so, they were met with a scene of chaos and devastation.
Over fifty shinobi moved with ruthless efficiency through the village. They seemed to strike from every direction, launching coordinated attacks on both civilians and shinobi alike.
Ishigakure was only a minor village, so they did not have better defensive measures against enemies other than the Shinobi present in the village. Even the backing of Konoha could only get them a few fuinjutsu barriers.
But with the constant attacks from this unknown group, the only thing they could count on was the Konoha shinobi previously stationed here. Unfortunately, even they needed a break which was why Fujioka's squad was brought over.
'They had barriers before all these attacks began, but the attackers got through it. They must have a fuinjutsu master on their side. If he is really experienced, then this would be a hassle.'
"They have a fuinjutsu expert with them, so be careful," Renjiro warned his squad.
As he did so, Konno recollected himself and started issuing orders to his shinobi in an attempt to rally them and set up a response against the attackers.
Fujioka also did the same and instructed, "Use Manouvre 5."
Renjiro, Tobe and Toda quickly understood the plan of action and after a brief exchange of looks and nods, they flickered in different directions leaving Fujioka, Konno and his aide Tachibana.
"We will try to mitigate the damage and handle the strong ones," Fujioka said before he too flickered in a different direction like his squad members.
'It's good that they are here. At least now we won't be spread thin. Hopefully, this time we won't lose much.' Konno Tetsuo thought as he saw the Konoha squad leader leave.
As Ishigakure's response began, the Konoha squad was following their leader's directive. The brothers, Tobe and Toda, had flickered to the South while Renjiro and Fujioka went to the North and East respectively.
This was the whole concept under Manoeuvre 5. They had to mitigate the damage and since a majority of Ishigakure shinobi were stationed in the west of the village, they chose other areas that were left unchecked.
'Hmm, some chunins. Seven huh, just enough. But they are attacking Ishigakure shinobi, so I need to be careful.'
Drawing eight kunais, four on both hands, Renjiro threw them at the enemy chunins before following them with wind bullets.
The enemy chunins were on high alert and since they were skilled fighters, they either dodged the incoming projectiles or deflected them using their bladed weapons.
But Renjiro's next attack, the wind bullets, gave him enough time to address the Ishigakure shinobis, "Go!"
'What? Is he planning on taking them on alone?' One Ishigakure shinobi wondered.
"Clang!" Metal clashing with metal reverberated.
While he was still standing there in his thoughts, something brought him out of his trance.
"I said Go!" The shinobi heard Renjiro shouting at him again.
'What just happened?' The shinobi thought as he joined his fellow shinobi in leaving.
While he had been standing there, one of the enemy chunin had thrown a Kunai at him, but Renjiro was quick on his feet and used a kunai of his own to change the projectile's trajectory.
As the shinobi left, Renjiro turned his focus on the seven enemy chunin. While still planning his next move, one of them lunged forward at him.
Renjiro reacted instinctively as he leaned to the side to dodge and launched a kick at the guy. The attack connected and the guy was thrown a couple of meters, but the enemy chunin landed on his feet.
Unfortunately for Renjiro, he did not get much time to breathe as three more chunin came at him and launched their moves. Good thing his fast reflexes helped him see through their attacks and Renjiro even launched a few jabs at them.
In the corner of his eyes, Renjiro saw three out of the seven chunins heading somewhere else.
He had to keep them occupied, so Renjiro got his own version of explosive tags and used kunais to throw them right in front of the three.
"Boom!"
The tags were activated at the blast of the explosion threw the three chunin back.
"Where are you going? Aren't we having fun?" Renjiro taunted as he stabbed the throat of one of the four remaining chuunins who were engaging him in close combat with a Kunai. They were also surprised by the explosion tags going off.
Seeing their comrade die, the three enemy chunins were angered and after exchanging a few glances, they jumped a couple of meters behind and quickly made some hand signs.
After they did so, they took a deep breath and exhaled elemental attacks towards Renjiro. They all exhaled water, fire and wind separately towards Renjiro whom they had surrounded.
Renjiro saw the attacks coming, but instead of flickering away since there was no way he could dodge them, he jumped up trying to do a backflip and used the jutsu fire style; Dragon's Breathe at the chunins below him.
"Boom!"
The jutsu hit the three chunins at point-blank range. With the force generated and the high temperatures, Renjiro knew that it would be hard, even for him, to escape that attack.
The jutsu Renjiro had just used also provided enough force for Renjiro to correct his posture and land gracefully on the ground.
'At least that did some damage.' Renjiro thought as he witnessed the aftermath of the jutsu.
'I was waiting for the Ishigakure shinobi to get out of range before using any destructive jutsus. How many survived? Only two were caught up in the blast? They are more durable than I thought.'
Seeing four chunins coming out of the ground, where they entered to protect themselves from the fire jutsu, Renjiro decided to end this thing once and for all as he activated his Sharingan.
Since they were already worn out and laden with injuries, the four chunins did not resist and were immediately caught in Renjiro's genjutsu.
'What should I make them do?' Renjiro wondered before mentally willing a command at them.
The four chunins each drew a Kunai at both of their hands before attempting to strike their necks with them. Renjiro wanted them to kill themselves!
However, this was not to come to fruition as just as the Kunai were inches from their necks, a figure appeared and knocked the four chunin out.
From his dressing, which was similar to the enemy chunins, Renjiro already concluded that the new arrival was their superior.
The figure then turned to Renjiro and scoffed, "Neat trick, Uchiha."

Kapitel 101: Chapter 100-Thanks For Your Help
[We have reached our 100th Chapter. While I already had the story planned out, I wasn't sure we would ever reach this far.]
Tobe and Toda came to a stop. They were both heaving and they needed time to catch their breath.
"Toda, can you still go on?" Tobe's voice cut through the din of battle, his tone laced with a hint of challenge.
Tobe met his brother's gaze and a confident smirk, formed on his face "This is just a warmup, Tobe," he replied, his voice steady despite the situation currently were in.
In another part of the battlefield, Tobe and Toda were facing a problem of their own.
Together, they had dealt with more than ten chunins, but their progress faced an obstacle in the form of three jounin-level shinobis.
Although they were just chunins, their resolve was reaffirmed and the brothers moved as one towards the trio of Jounin-level opponents, their movements fluid and coordinated.
Tobe's hands danced through a series of signs as he summoned forth an array of deadly weapons such as kunais, shurikens, and more. He intended to guide them with expert precision using intricate strings of chakra.
As the projectiles closed in on their targets, Tobe infused them with crackling lightning, increasing their speed to lethality levels. The weapons streaked through the air like bolts of lightning, honing in on their targets with ungodly accuracy.
Not to be outdone, Toda unleashed his own barrage of shurikens, each one imbued with the blazing fury of fire chakra.
With practised ease, he threw two shurikens before employing the Clone Shurikens jutsu, multiplying the projectiles almost a hundredfold in a dazzling display.
The air crackled with energy as the fiery shurikens soared through the sky, heading to the trio of jounins.
As the deadly barrage of projectiles hurtled towards them, the enemy Jounin remained steadfast, their expressions cool and composed despite the impending onslaught.
With practised precision, one of the Jounin swiftly formed a series of hand signs. With a resounding slam of his hands upon the ground, the Jounin unleashed his jutsu, causing a massive earthen wall to erupt from the ground in front of them.
The wall took on a convex shape, curving outward to cover them from the projectiles hurtling towards them from the front and above.
"Clang!!"
The kunais and shurikens slammed into the earthen barrier with explosive force, embedding themselves in the hardened surface with a series of dull thuds.
Some managed to penetrate the outer layers of the wall, but the majority were deflected or stopped entirely by the formidable defence erected by the Jounin.
Seeing that a majority of the Konoha Ninja's projectiles had been neutralized, the two other enemy Jounins prepared to retaliate, their concentration focused on conjuring their own jutsu.
However, they were caught off guard by the sudden shift in the trajectory of the projectiles hurtling towards them from above.
In a burst of smoke and chakra, Tobe and Toda swiftly appeared in place of the incoming projectiles, appearing directly above the enemy Jounin in a well-coordinated manoeuvre.
Before the Jounin could react, the Uchiha brothers unleashed their combined fire and lightning jutsu.
However, the enemy Jounins were quick to react, and two of the Jounins flickered away from the point of impact in a blur of movement.
The scorching flames and crackling lightning erupted harmlessly in the empty space where they had stood moments before only hitting the one who was holding the erected earth wall in place.
'One down.'
Tobe thought as the Uchiha brothers landed gracefully on the ground. But they couldn't rest as they immediately found themselves confronted by the two enemy Jounins who had now completed their jutsus.
With swift and calculated movements, the Jounin unleashed their jutsus, intent on turning the tide of battle in their favour.
The Jounin facing Tobe unleashed the Violent Wind Jutsu, channelling their chakra to create a powerful gust of wind aimed directly at the Uchiha brother.
The wind howled fiercely as it tore through the air, carrying with it razor-sharp blades of air pressure that threatened to slice through anything in their path.
Meanwhile, the Jounin facing Toda focused their chakra to expel a torrent of water, shaping it into a formidable Water Blast Jutsu.
With a forceful surge, the pressurized water surged towards Toda, propelled by the Jounin's skilled manipulation of chakra.
The Jounins were clearly calculative as they both used chakra natures that would counter the brothers. The wind jutsu would counter any lightning attack Tobe decided to unleash while the water would do the same to Toda.
'You are using wind? Fine, thanks for the help.'
Tobe unleashed the ferocious flames of the Great Fireball Jutsu towards his opponent. The fireball did not just counter the winds, but a part of it was also amplified to a blazing inferno as it hurled towards the Jounin.
Meanwhile, the other Jounin, who had recovered from the brother's combination jutsu, seized the opportunity to join the fray once more turning the battle into a two-on-one confrontation against Tobe.
The jounin immediately used the earth wall jutsu again to counter the approaching fireball.
"Boom!"
The fireball collided with the earth wall and instantly pulverised it. Although the wall was destroyed, it mediated much of the force and even gave the jounins time to avoid the fireball.
Toda also adapted to the situation. Unable to employ earth jutsu and counter his opponents like his brother, he improvised, utilizing his lightning affinity to electrify the water created by his opponent's jutsu.
With a swift and precise hand sign, Toda infused his lightning chakra into the surrounding water, transforming it into a deadly conduit of electrical energy.
"Crack!!"
The water crackled and surged with power as the jounin, caught off guard by Toda's ingenuity, found himself ensnared in a web of electricity.
Caught in the grip of Toda's electrified onslaught, the jounin struggled to withstand the relentless barrage of lightning, his movements slowed and defences compromised by the overwhelming shock coursing through his body.
As the two jounins, the ones who used the wind and earth jutsus pressed their assault on Tobe, the young Uchiha's reflexes were put to the test.
With grace Tobe danced between the jounins' strikes, evading their attacks with fluid movements and lightning-fast reflexes. Each blow was met with a swift and precise counter, as Tobe expertly turned the jounins' aggression against them.
Meanwhile, Toda suddenly flickered from his dazed opponent and appeared behind the jounin adept in wind jutsus. His reappearance caught the jounin off guard, leaving them vulnerable to the brothers' coordinated assault.
With a seamless display of teamwork, Toda and Tobe plunged their blades deep into the jounin's heart, their weapons finding their mark with deadly accuracy. The jounin staggered, their strength faltering as the fatal blow pierced their chest, a look of shock and disbelief crossing their face as they realized the gravity of their situation.
"No!!" The other jounin, adept in earth Jutsus, roared.
The two remaining jounins closed in, their rage burning like a wildfire, they flickered with deadly intent, their movements swift and unforgiving.
In a flash, their blades found their mark, plunging deep into the chests of Tobe and Toda, their hearts pierced by the enemy's merciless assault.
However, Tobe looked at the Jounin stabbing him and said, "Hirata, what have you done?"
'Hmm? How does he know my name?' Hirata thought.
It was then that an ominous thought flashed in his mind causing him to disrupt his chakra.
In a disorienting blur of motion, the scene before him flickered and shifted, revealing a shocking truth that left him stunned.
Instead of Tobe and Toda being at the mercy of their attackers, it was Hirata himself who had struck the fatal blow, his blade piercing the heart of his remaining ally.
"They... they used a genjutsu on me? What...have I-I done?" Hirata couldn't help but mutter.
A couple of meters from him, Hirata saw his ally, the jounin who used wind jutsus lay dead. It was clear that he had suffered the fate that Hirata had seen before.
So, if that happened when did their opponents set their genjutsu?
From the very start, the enemy jounins were always wary of the brothers when they saw their sharingans and continuously disrupted their chakras so that they couldn't fall under any genjutsu.
Unfortunately, they couldn't keep doing that throughout the fight as they still needed to use ninjutsu against their opponents.
Tobe and Toda had been subtle with their genjutsu use as they started by implating suggestions in their brains as they chipped away their target's mental fortitude.
When they killed their ally, the two enemy jounins were angered and that opened the door for the Uchiha to use Genjutsu. Luckily for them, they fell for their genjutsu and used one to kill the other.
"Aaarrghhhhhhh!!!" Hirata roared.
He was beyond mad and was reeling from the fact that both his comrades were dead.
"You will pay for this!" He said as his chakra flared up and his muscles started pulsating.
Tobe immediately used a Lightning canon at Hirata as he felt something bad was about to happen, he did not know how right he was.
