Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 497: The 'Broken' Sword!

Fujin inserted his chakra into the vajra-shaped hilt. Immediately, a sword made of pure electricity appeared in front of him. Fujin observed it for some time while thinking, 'The most basic use of the sword is to shock enemies. While it won't shock the wielder, that can still be arranged if the wielder wants to do so.'

Fujin poked the blade with one finger. As expected, an electric current passed through his body. Fujin analyzed, 'Though it can shock, this feature is more or less useless against any Elite Jounin. For a rank S ninja like me, this is only a child's play.'

Fujin stopped touching the sword and swung the blade at the rock next to him. The sword entered into the rock and travelled through it as Fujin's arm moved before exiting the rock.

Fujin's eyes glowed as he observed the damage to the rock. He noticed, 'I see. As expected of an elemental sword. It doesn't cut like a normal sword. Instead, it just passes through the rock like an electric current would. Instead of cutting the rock, it actually burnt where it passed through.

So it makes the sword kinda useless to cut like with normal blades. Of course, it isn't entirely bad. Normal weapons won't be able to stop the blade. It'll shock the opponent on contact and continue attacking. Depending on their resistance to lightning, they'll be hurt. Now, let's see how it works against chakra flow'

Fujin was about to create a Shadow Clone when he suddenly had a thought. He wondered, 'Now that I think about it, can this sword be replicated with the help of Shadow Clone jutsu? When I create Shadow Clones, they also get a copy of all weapons that work just as efficiently. However, this blade is extremely unique. So, will it still be replicated?'

Fujin couldn't be sure. However, he was extremely intrigued by the idea. He immediately created a Shadow Clone. A grin appeared on his face as the Shadow Clone was also holding a Blade of the Thunder Spirit!

Fujin thought in excitement, 'Holy Shit! This sword is freaking broken! If my clones have access to this sword as well, then I can spam Lightning jutsus from every direction! It'll be even more lethal against armies of ninjas! Such a broken combination!

That damn Tobirama. What exactly was he thinking while creating so many broken things? Was he planning on finding ways to defeat Madara by himself?'

Fujin couldn't be sure. However, he felt that was a possibility. Though there were several ninjas throughout history who created new techniques, Tobirama stood out by a huge margin. Shadow Clone, Flying Thunder God and Edo Tensei were all jutsus that defied logic. To invent so many techniques, one needed to have a very high motivation. And what could be a greater motivation than having the Ghost of the Uchiha as your enemy?

While the Blade of the Thunder Spirit was a good weapon, it wasn't something that could disturb the balance of power. However, in combination with the Shadow Clone jutsu, the blade became a menace!

Fujin couldn't help but think, 'Would Shadow Clone jutsu also replicate Kisame's sword? Hmm, it might be possible. I don't recall if his Water Clones had the sword, but the advanced clone technique he used to intercept Guy's team when they were on their way to rescue Gaara could replicate the sword. So, it is very likely that it can be done.

If I can get the Samehada as well and if I can create a terrifying combination I can create an army of Shadow Clones wielding both blades. They will use Samehada to absorb the enemy's chakra. Thanks to Blade of the Thunder Spirit's amplification, it'd be like stealing 10 times the enemy's chakra. Once the Shadow Clone is dispelled, I'll receive all the chakra. I can create more clones or spam powerful jutsus without the worry of running out of chakra!'

Fujin was very tempted. The combination was just too good. Unfortunately, he couldn't get the Samehada so easily. He muttered to himself, 'I'll have to find a way to kill Kisame I am not strong enough to kill him right now. However, it's just a matter of time before I get even stronger.

Though he is always with Itachi, I can separate them easily once my range of Flying Thunder God increases. That said, there are many risks. I'll need to calculate the effect of Kisame's disappearance on Akatsuki's activities. Also, it'll leak the information about me knowing the Flying Thunder God jutsu

Though that might not be a huge loss if my strength increases a lot in the near future, it'll still be best to keep it a secret. I'll need to be careful. I'll need to find the right opportunity to make my move. And, I should do it only when I'm sure I can kill Kisame quickly. If he has any methods to call Zetsu or Obito to help him, then killing him will become very difficult.'

Fujin decided to stop thinking about it. He'll plan his scheme once he is strong enough to pull one off flawlessly. He focused back on his clone and said, "Let's begin testing the sword."

Fujin's clone nodded. He stored the Blade of the Thunder Spirit. Instead, he grabbed his usual sword and said, "Here I come."

Chakra began flowing through his sword. He attacked Fujin with the sword while Fujin attacked back. As the two swords clashed, Fujin's eyes widened as he saw the Blade of the Thunder Spirit cut through the chakra flow! It hit the clone's sword, sending an electric current through it, zapping the clone. Of course, it wasn't enough to actually stop the clone.

Fujin's sword moved through the sword towards the clone. At the same time, the clone's sword also moved towards Fujin, but it was slightly slower due to the electric shock. Fujin stopped his blade at the last second. The clone stopped as well and moved back.

Fujin thought, 'I knew that this sword could cut through chakra, but I didn't expect it to do it so easily. It was as if my clone's chakra flow was nothing but air. Now this is a good ability. I wonder if it can work against Sussano...'

The clone said, "Once the two swords meet, the electric current should flinch the opponent for a few moments. We can use that moment to attack the enemy first. However, it is too risky. If our enemy has high lightning resistance, then we will be hit by his sword as well."

Fujin nodded. Though the effect was quite unique, the flaw was pretty obvious. He replied, "Yeah, but it will be very good for Shadow Clones. Anyway, it looks like I will need a few more swords. I might need to raid the Land of Iron at some point in the future. Anyways, charge your chakra flow with Lightning."

The clone nodded. He once again flowed chakra through the sword. This time, he charged it with Lightning. The two swords clashed once again. This time, Fujin's blade was stopped! The clone wasn't zapped either. Instead, the Blade of the Thunder Spirit was forced back as it couldn't phase through the Lightning-charged sword.

Fujin moved back and thought, 'As I thought, this sword is at a disadvantage against Lightning Chakra Flow.'

The clone changed Lightning into Wind and attacked again. This time, his sword cut straight through the Blade of the Thunder Spirit forcing Fujin to retreat once again.

Fujin muttered, "It looks like this blade is completely useless against Wind Chakra Flow Not really a surprise. Fortunately, this sword can't break due to its elemental form. Otherwise, it would have been a great loss. Oh well, let's try Fire."

The clone nodded. He stopped providing Wind chakra and instead converted his chakra into fire. In an instant, his blade was covered in fire. Fire chakra flow wasn't a commonly used technique as it wasn't as lethal as Lightning or Wind chakra flows. However, Fujin wanted to test out the Blade of the Thunder Spirit.

The clone attacked Fujin and the two swords clashed once again. This time, the clash was similar to how it was against normal chakra flow. Fujin's blade cut through the chakra flow, zapped the clone and moved towards him. He stopped at the last moment and dispelled his clone.

Fujin analyzed, 'Looks like using this sword in a head-on confrontation is a strict no. I'll be better off using a normal chakra metal sword. This blade will be used at long and medium ranges. The only way I could use it in close combat is if I wield two swords at the same time. After all, thanks to the elemental nature of the sword, this sword has a few interesting properties.'

Fujin pointed the tip of his blade at the same rock he had attacked a few minutes ago and increased the amount of chakra he inserted into the blade. Under his control, the blade suddenly began getting longer and pierced through the rock. It was around 5 meters long!
