Do remember that the four remaining ninja were very close to Yumiko while Chieko was much further ahead and near Fūrin. At this distance and after Chieko teleported, the wind blade would have to cover a moderately long distance to reach. Keep in mind, the ninja are Yumiko so he would be able to react by stepping in the path of the attack. Plus, as you said, the smoke blew away seconds after which would mean that Fūrin would still be in the motion of releasing the attack. This would alert the ninja. Even if the attack was invisible, the trajectory and the fact that the smoke was disrupted means that something was headed towards both Chieko and Yumiko.
