The two Jounins were killed by the four Anbu ninjas who were hiding. Their transformation jutsu was also dispelled. Half of the intruders were dead within a minute of beginning the clash!
Kaname gritted his teeth as he looked at Hideyoshi with pure hatred. He had led them all to their deaths! However, he had no time to curse him. A dozen air bullets were heading at him. He immediately dodged while looking at Fujin who appeared in front of him and swung his sword at him.
He thought, 'He must be using Wind nature chakra flow. Otherwise, Naomasa wouldn't have lost so easily.'
He grabbed a kunai and ducked down to avoid the sword. The sword passed harmlessly from over his head. At the same time, he jabbed the kunai towards Fujin's chest.
However, Fujin's cheeks suddenly puffed out. Kaname's eyes widened and he stopped attacking and instead rolled to the side. At the very moment he moved to the left, Fujin shot a Vacuum bullet at point-blank range. The bullet passed by Kaname's left ear and ripped it out completely! But, he still managed to survive and rolled away. However, such damage caused his transformation jutsu to be dispelled.
Fujin watched his real face with some respect in his eyes. He thought, 'He is good. If instead of ducking, he had moved away, he would have been dead. And if he continued that attack, he'd be dead again. But he survived on both occasions.'
At the same time, Kaname was in shock as he observed Fujin. He thought, 'Who is this kid? His attacks are relentless and uses Wind Vacuum jutsus without any hand seal. I don't even have any time to create a jutsu!'
Fujin was about to attack when he noticed someone moving extremely quickly. Kaname sensed that someone had appeared behind him and immediately swung his kunai backwards. However, his arm was blocked by a palm. At the same time, two fingers jabbed into his back and hit just behind where his heart was.
Chakra poured from the fingers into Kaname's chakra point and blocked it. At the same time, several other chakra points in his body were blocked. Kaname suddenly felt a wave of weakness. He fell to the ground.
Knowing that his life was no longer in his hands, he turned his head to see who the attacker was. His eyes widened in terror as he muttered, "Lo… Lord H… Hok… Hokage?"
Hiruzen didn't reply and jabbed two fingers into his neck. Kaname instantly lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground.
Fujin was surprised. He thought, 'The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga? He can replicate the effects of that as well? Did he memorize the locations of some important chakra points?'
While Fujin was dealing with Kaname, the other Jounin was also killed by the four Anbu ninjas. Only Hideyoshi was still alive. However, he looked at Hiruzen with horror in his eyes. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that he wouldn't last even a minute against a Kage!
He stopped fighting with Choza and asked fearfully, "Why is the Hokage here? Don't tell me he was the civilian that Naomasa detected!"
He immediately regretted his decision to attack this camp and thought bitterly, 'Why did I decide to attack this camp?'
Hiruzen looked at him and said, "I am more curious as to what Sunagakure ninjas are doing in the Land of Fire and why you are attacking Konoha's Patrol camp."
Hiruzen was aware of the strength of the ninjas in the camp. If he had not stopped there, those ninjas would have died tonight. And considering the strength of the attackers, Konoha would have a very difficult time finding them.
Hideyoshi's eyes widened. He didn't expect Hiruzen to recognize them. He had no intention of facing Hiruzen or leaving his life and death to the Konoha ninjas. He immediately began running away. However, Choza immediately moved in his path and swung his Bo staff at him. Hideyoshi was surprised. He exclaimed, 'So fast!'
Hideyoshi didn't expect Choza to be as quick as him. He raised his arms in a defensive position to block the attack. He managed to block it, but Choza's physical strength was much higher. He was hurled backwards. Hideyoshi's expression became grim as he realized, 'He sent me flying towards the Hokage!'
Hideyoshi flipped in the air and landed on his two feet as he slid backwards while weaving hand signs. He turned around and continued his way towards Hiruzen as he screamed, "Don't underestimate me!"
'Wind Release: Blade of Wind jutsu'
He extended his index and middle fingers on both his hands as Wind flew rapidly around them. Fujin grabbed his sword and was about to intervene when he noticed Hiruzen's actions.
Hiruzen had extended the same two fingers on his right hand. Wind began moving around them as well. Hideyoshi's eyes widened. He immediately launched dozens of wind blades at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen merely responded by launching an equal number of wind blades. Fujin watched with widened eyes as Hiruzen's wind blades neutralized each and every wind blade launched by Hideyoshi perfectly. He muttered, "What the hell?"
However, the one who was most shocked was Hideyoshi. He thought, 'How can this be? This is my most skilled jutsu. I have trained it for over two decades! How can he be more skilled at it than me?'
Unfortunately, he wouldn't receive any answers. As soon as his jutsu ran out, Hiruzen disappeared and appeared in front of him and tapped his forehead with the same two fingers. A seal appeared on his forehead.
Hideyoshi was horrified! He tried using his chakra but he felt that his body had no chakra. He tried moving but he couldn't move a muscle. He wanted to speak but not a word left his mouth!
Fujin's eyes twitched as he saw this scene. He thought, 'What the fuck? Wind jutsus is what I excel in. But his control and preciseness far exceed mine. Even I wouldn't have been able to neutralize that attack this way. At the most, I'd have overwhelmed it by pouring more chakra into the jutsu.
I can understand his Taijutsu being better than mine. But despite all my training, his speed still exceeds mine. And by such a huge degree. I won't be able to keep up with him in a head-on fight. And that Juinjutsu… What a freak!
Sigh, the last mission increased my confidence a lot. I thought I'd be able to at least run away from S ranked ninjas. But now… Luckily I didn't challenge Rasa. If I didn't manage to get reverse summoned in time, I'd probably be buried deep within the desert had I challenged him. Looks like there is still a considerable distance between my level and the S rank despite my high chakra.'
Hiruzen's little display gave Fujin a reality check. Though he relied a lot on his skill with Wind jutsus, his biggest reliance was his speed. The ability to keep up and run away from any opponent was what he felt was the most important skill for a ninja. However, Hiruzen's speed shook Fujin's confidence in his speed.
While Fujin was comparing himself with what Hiruzen showed, Hideyoshi's life flashed in his eyes multiple times. Hiruzen noticed the range of emotions in his eyes and said, "Don't worry. You won't be able to move."
He placed his right hand on his head. Chakra flowed from his palm into Hideyoshi's brain! Hideyoshi felt immense pain as Hiruzen began reading his memories. He wanted to scream in pain but the seal didn't allow him to make any sound.
In the next seven minutes, Hiruzen read most of Hideyoshi's memories. He let go of his head as he analyzed, 'I see. Sunagakure has already started creating plans to target the Nobles from our country. This was their first squad.
Unfortunately for Suna, they decided to attack this camp to do more damage to Konoha. Furthermore, their plans have a lot of inefficiencies.'
Hiruzen walked away from him and instructed, "Kill him and get rid of all the bodies."
The four Anbu Guards nodded and got to work. They knew that Hiruzen meant that there should be no proof of these bodies ever being here.
Fujin, Homura and Choza immediately realized the reason for this. If Hideyoshi was left alive, then Suna would demand him back. And it would be difficult for Konoha to refuse that request. Though Konoha could inform about these matters to the Wind Daimyo, it would deteriorate the relationship between the two countries.
Konoha wanted to maintain the alliance with Suna, even if it was just on paper. So keeping Hideyoshi, whether dead or alive, was disadvantageous for Konoha.
However, Fujin couldn't help but think, 'I killed one Elite Jounin and several Jounins from Suna during my promotion mission. And now another one of the Elite Jounins has died along with 4 Jounins. Their losses just keep piling up. At this rate, will they even have the necessary forces to launch the Konoha Crush?'
Fujin suddenly became worried. He thought, 'Shit, if the Konoha Crush doesn't happen, then a lot of future events will change. I might not have much advantage of knowing the future if that happens. Sigh, I hope Rasa doesn't get too intimidated.'
Hiruzen read Kaname's memories as well to gain any information that he could. He was disposed of the same way as well. Hiruzen analyzed the information and concluded, 'These two don't have all the information. I'll have to arrange strong patrol squads in the country. In addition, the security of Fire Capital has to be increased.'
