Chapter 891 : Copying their Sensei!
🕑 Added 2025-03-19 11:19:54 +0000 UTC[A/N: Sorry guys. Was travelling yesterday and had issues logging into Patreon. So, I couldn't upload the chapter even though I had written it 🥲. Just got access to it again. There should be another chapter later tonight. Will try to do a double tomorrow as well. If not, there will be a chapter on Saturday.]
‘Ice Release: Silent Winter jutsu’
As soon as Shoma completed his hand seals, the temperature in the training ground suddenly dropped drastically! The temperature, which was around 25°C at the start of the battle, went to sub zero degrees.
It was so cold that the sweat on Hoka's body began crystallizing. Fujin wasn't spared either. Even though he noticed the oddity and flew upwards, his popcorns and the bucket holding them were more or less frozen.
Ignoring the battle below, Fujin focused on his snack. The bucket fell to the ground while the popcorns floated in the wind. The winds supporting the popcorn suddenly grew hot, almost turning into an open furnace. Once the popcorn were heated again, he put one in his mouth and thought, 'Perfect! I was worried I'll have to watch the climax without my popcorn! That would have been depressing…'
After saving his popcorn, Fujin turned his attention to the entertainment below. He immediately noticed something odd. Even though Hoka was bearing the full brunt of the temperature, Fujin's other students seemed fine.
Fujin's eyes glowed as he observed, 'As I expected. They have seals on their clothes to protect them from extreme cold. However, that alone wouldn't be enough. Shoma is maintaining an excellent control over his jutsu. The temperature around Yuji and Takeshi isn't as low as elsewhere. As for Hikari and Sayaka, the cold aids them instead of slowing them down.'
Hoka received no time to adjust to the freezing temperature. Sayaka, Yuji and Takeshi immediately moved towards Hoka from 3 different sides. Hoka took his gentle fist stance and released chakra from every chakra point on his body, getting a temporary respite from the cold. He analyzed, 'An impressive maneuver, but this isn't enough to defeat me. They should know it as well. Do they plan on using the same tactic as before to force me to make a mistake. Or, do they have another stratagem up their sleeves? Hmm?'
Instead of attacking Hoka, all 3 kids moved out of the way. Despite being the strongest, they weren't the main attack. Hoka's eyes locked on Hikari, who was standing next to Shoma. At the next moment, an Ice Dragon appeared formed out of thin air infront of Hoka.
Hoka immediately attacked it with Vacuum Palm. The ice dragon shattered but Hoka suddenly felt a grave danger. Though the shards of ice flew away, Hoka's extended right arm began freezing! He immediately unleashed chakra from all the chakra points on his arm and flickered away.
Unfortunately, he immediately came under a three-pronge assault from Sayaka, Yuji and Takeshi. Sayaka's Ice jutsus were especially fierce while Takeshi and Yuji didn't lose their precision.
As they attacked, Sayaka thought, 'Shoma's talent in controlling temperature is beyond belief. He can even freeze the entire waterfall! Even though I'm the strongest in the group and have a good command over Ice Release, I can't compare with him in this aspect.
This creates the perfect environment for us. Especially for Hikari, who is extremely talented in creating shapes out of ice. She isn't that enthusiastic about fighting but loves to create ice sculptures. And, the environment created by Shoma allows Hikari to create as she pleases.
Hehe, we took a page out of Sensei's book. Shoma creates an Ice Field just like Sensei's Wind Domain, Hikari can create ice attacks spontaneously just like how Sensei creates his Wind jutsus and I go for the kill!
Of course, we can't compare to Sensei. His Wind Domain is an absolute kill zone. However, this is just our start. Even Monkey-sensei couldn't endure this combination attack. Hoka-sensei is far stronger, but even he'll be on thin ice, both literally and figuratively.'
Observing from the skies, a smile appeared on Fujin's face. He may not have devoted much time to training them, but they were his students. He thought, 'Fufufu, they are creating an Ice Domain by taking inspiration from my Wind Domain. Marvellous! Hoka, you better get serious soon. Otherwise, the result would be quite humiliating.'
Having known Hoka for so long, Fujin understood his thoughts. Even though Hoka never displayed any jealousy, he regretted not being able to keep up with Fujin. The difference of strengths between the two was the reason why Hoka trained as hard as he did. If Fujin was the one who trained the most in his generation, Hoka was a close second. The rest didn't come anywhere close. So, if Hoka were to actually be defeated by Fujin's students, his pride would take a major hit.
As the kids planned, Hoka fell in a difficult situation. Sayaka led their forces once again, going on an all out offense against Hoka. She was aided by Yuji and Takeshi, who not only intercepted Hoka's counterattacks, but also exploited every opening created by Sayaka.
Despite her Ice jutsus being boosted, just the three of them wouldn't cause Hoka a headache. The major threat came from Hikari. Just in a couple of mins, one of Hoka's limbs froze 6 times. He even took a couple of her hits.
While dealing with their innumerable combination attacks, Hoka analyzed, 'If this continues, I'll lose long before their chakra runs out. To think these kids would force me to this extent. Sigh, this is gonna hurt...'
His eyes carefully observed the movements of Fujin's students, looking for an opening while dodging and countering their relentless assault. Once again, as innumerable times earlier, Sayaka moved within 5 meters of Hoka to increase the pressure.
Hoka Immediately moved towards her. Takeshi and Yuji acted immediately, launching Wind Blades and False Darkness jutsus to cut off his path. At the same time, an ice tentacle with a spear-like pointed tip appeared on his left.
Instead of continuing his attack, Hoka suddenly flickered. His target? It was none other than Yuji, who was the farthest away as compared to Sayaka and Takeshi. His maneuver caught all of Fujin's students by surprise. The reason behind their surprise wasn't because they were caught off guard. It was simply because targeting Yuji was far more difficult than targeting Sayaka or Takeshi. Hoka had chosen the most difficult target.
The distance between the two allowed Sayaka and Takeshi to attack Hoka. Dozens of Air Bullets and hundreds of Ice Needles flew at him as well as in the space between him and Yuji. However, Hoka didn't stop. Instead, he used Rotation.
The air bullets and ice needles bounced off, but Yuji was confused. He weaved hand seals while retreating behind and analyzing, 'What is he planning? Rotation may protect him, but it slows his speed down. He can't chase me unless he stops the jutsu. But if he stops it, he'll be hit by the air bullets and ice needles. Not to mention, I'm not exactly helpless.'
In another surprising move, Hoka stopped his rotation mid-way and continued moving towards Yuji. As he did, Hoka's entire body turned black. Sayaka and Takeshi's barrage hadn't ended yet. Hoka dodged as much as he could but was hit several times. Thanks to the Iron Skin jutsu, their attacks failed to harm Hoka much.
Yuji thought, 'Let me see what you plan on doing now!'
Yuji fired countless Lightning arcs from his fingertips. Initially, the spread over a large area, before converging on Hoka, to ensure Hoka couldn't side step the jutsu and continue coming after him.
Yuji smirked, 'The Iron Skin jutsu is vulnerable to Lightning jutsus. Once I break your armor, you'll also be vulnerable to Sayaka and Takeshi's attacks. You have no option but to retreat now, Sensei. The situation will remain the same!'
Everyone else, except Fujin, thought the same. To their surprise, Hoka released more chakra from his chakra points, but didn't bother using Rotation. Instead of retreating, he moved straight into the countless lightning arcs!
Dozens of lightning arcs landed on Hoka's body. Even though his chakra reduced the strength of the Lightning arcs, the Iron Skin jutsu crumbled and he was electrocuted multiple times every second! Even so, Hoka gritted his teeth and continued moving forward.
Without the Iron Skin jutsu, Hoka also became vulnerable to Sayaka and Takeshi's attacks. By maneuvering his body to the limit, Hoka dodged most of their attacks. Unfortunately, even with his skills and speed, dodging everything was impossible. Several bullets and needles grazed past his body, opening several small cuts and further amplified the Lightning torture.
However, he had achieved his objective. He was just a meter in front of Yuji! Chakra gathered on his right palm as he targeted Yuji's abdomen. However, before he could reach him, an ice mirror suddenly started forming between them!

Many thanks for the chapter. Exciting fight.

Hoka is nothing to itachi lol Hoka would be lucky to hit S rank before 40yrs old. Itachi was almost S rank before his MS. Sasuke and Neji are genius's but they also didn't have proper mentors or used the best training methods for them. Fujins students have zero obstacles in their growth, it's only a matter of time. Fujin with his knowledge is able to train his kekkei genkai students to reach their full potential and more. You don't have to be Itachi level genius, you just need to be raised in an environment where your talents are better nurtured and developed. These guys had roots training and then fujins, Fujin knows almost every teaching hack and has the resources to apply his teachings. These guys being elites in their generation is normal considering they have everything to be great. 5 of them vs Hoka in a practice setting? it's not crazy for Hoka to get caught slacking or come close to "losing". Fujin took his average body and made himself a top 10 living ninja in this world, you think he couldn't raise these kids to be at a very high level this young? lol

ETA? Or are you asleep?
Bernardo Cabral
splendid chapter as always!! thanks for bringing me joy in this exausting days
Dip
Man it would be really cool to see a new 5 page summit during the time skip. Like Fujins meeting ay, onkie, Darui ecc. Would be very fun to read
Nyd. Studio
It's one thing to have instant genjutsu detection. It's another to break the said genjutsu.
Loni
ETA?
Dip
Yeah thats a shame because it's seems Fujins has insane talent for space time ninjutsu.... I Hope he can improve on ftg somehow (I think he could with some training be better than even Minato)
Yamir
Hex are you gonna nerf Amaterasu from the start? Or you gonna keep the op version stay consistent?
Kelevra
Id assume Hoka due to byakugan has instant genjutsu detection. Rotation should be able to temporarily stop Amaterasu and allow him to escape it
Devil Hex
Far better. Main issue for Fujin is that he has never used ftg in an actual battle.
Devil Hex
Issues when author creates a jutsu so strong that it breaks the power scaling. Amaterasu did absolutely nothing in the entire Naruto 😭
Yamir
In 5 kage summit random ninjas seems to knows about itachi Amaterasu. Amaterasu is very weird, in some cases is this super deadly jutsu that can one shot s rank ninjas but there is also cases when Amaterasu can't even kill a canon fodder samurai xd.
Book Warm
Author San, have hoka think of any cards to deal with itachi genjutsu? Also does hoka know about Amaterasu yet? If not I think fujin should tell a little bit about itachi abilities to hoka, otherwise getting hit by Amaterasu Is really bad
Book Warm
Minato should be better at ftg than fujin ? Like I heard minato born with innate Natural reflex?
Noosemaker
Thanks for the chapter dad
Dip
Ahh ok sry lol it's been a really long time since I watched Naruto haha thx for the info!
Devil Hex
Not stronger. He said he had almost as much chakra as him. Battle is more than just chakra. Madara lost despite having full 9 tails. I don't think Hashirama would even need that 1000 arm statue against Minato or Kakashi. Hmm, that's not how Reaper Death Seal works. Minato was pretty much empty at that point. Hiruzen also sealed First 2 Hokage + nearly sealed Orochimaru despite being so low on chakra. Minato's chakra reserves are obviously good, but it ain't that crazy. Do remember Kakashi said Naruto (during Kakuzu arc and without using Kurama's chakra) had considerably greater reserves than Minato. What makes Minato op isn't is chakra reserves, it's FTG and insane battle skills.
Dip
bro don't underestimate Minato was a crazy amount of chakra. To use the reaper death seal you need as much chakra as what you are sealing so Minato has at bare minimum chakra equal to HALF of kurama! AND you have to remember he was near death when he did that not to mention after fighting Obito and teleporting a Biju bomb as well as the ENTIRE 9 tails! so yeah he's crazy (if u can't im big Minato fan☠️)
Nyd. Studio
Well, if author said so...
Dip
yeah that's what I thought as well but in the war arc hasirama said kcm2 Naruto was stronger than him and kcm2 Minato is basically that Naruto with ftg and prime hiruzen was compared to hasirama (when both were given "the god of Shinobi' title) and I think somewhere it was said the 3rd was actually stronger but idk about that...
Devil Hex
Hmm, kinda. Minato is better at FTG and has Senjutsu. Fujin is better at other aspects. A battle between them would like be a draw (since neither can stop other party from escaping). Battle to death will likely be Fujin's win due to his chakra reserves
Devil Hex
Hmm, I think I covered this as well. People don't like to keep training all the time 😅 It'll be equivalent of say we continuously studying for 50+ years. So yeah, the ones who stop/slowdown get stuck. Hoka has decent motivation, so don't worry.
Devil Hex
Hashirama > Minato = Kakashi (if Kakashi can become intangible) > Hiruzen Except Hiruzen, the other 3 are above rank S
Nyd. Studio
Low elite jonin like Asuma & Kurenai were frozen in place, closing their eyes against Itachi, while peak elite jonin Kakashi got oneshoted by Tsukuyomi. So trust me, this isn't looking good for Hoka
Devil Hex
Hmm, Sasuke and Neji are quite different. Both are undoubtedly very talented, but their skillset was very limited. Tbh, Sasuke before the Chunin finals was quite weak. So yeah, they aren't the best examples to compare with these kids. Their training path has been entirely different. As I said earlier, Haku, Kimimaro might be better examples to compare with. If you want to compare with Sasuke or Neji, imagined a Sasuke or Neji who has been trained by Fujin for a couple of years.
Nyd. Studio
You're right... But i'm a huge Hoka fan & supporter. You're using him to showcase how strong these kids have become. To me, struggling to these kids isn't looking good for Hoka, who would soon face Itachi.
Dip
Also u guys think fujin is stronger than alive Minato (from the kurama attack)?
Dip
Guys in which order would you rank prime hasirama, Kakashi ( obito eyes+ perfect susano), prime minato (basically war acr Minato revived) and god of Shinobi hiruzen ? (Hex what do u think?)
Aldar
I don't know why you have this impression, but it's obvious to me that Hoka will win. At this point, he's used what we know, so I expect a surprise.
Devil Hex
Patience bud 💀
Nyd. Studio
It's been 1 or 2 chapters, are you really thinking about Hoka losing to these kids? They are like 9-12 yrs old, c'mon author. I dunno, they genius and shit, but so was sasuke & neiji at their age or are they itachi level genius? All 5? I can't see these kids making Shipudden Itachi even sweat, an opponent Hoka trained so hard to face. We are near shippuden right now, are you going to make Hoka defeated by Itachi glance? You've done so much with his character, are you going to sell him to Itachi???
Devil Hex
Kinda gave a glimpse of this earlier. In the first Fujin Vs Orochimaru battle.
Yamir
So an ice domain is possible by controlling the temperature, this could mean that a fire domain is possible for the same reason. Maybe fujin has a chance to make a scorch release domain.

Thanks
