Erik ten Hag's team established their position at the top of the standings with a collection of 16 points, while Fortuna, who failed to add four points, dropped to 16th.
Pressing from the start, Ajax opened their scoring in the 11th minute through Berghuis' goal using the ball from Sebastien Haller's shot which failed to be stopped by goalkeeper Yanick van Osch.
Ajax's continued dominance paid off in the 27th minute when Mazraoui fired home from distance to find Haller's cross to find the ball into the bottom right corner of the home net.
Then in the 38th minute Tadic scored Ajax's third goal which gave the visitors a convincing 3-0 lead over Fortuna at halftime.
Ajax added to their lead in the 72nd minute through Kudus's close-range strike who only had to finish Tadic's good pass.
Five minutes later, Ajax's fifth goal was born through Tagliafico's left foot, again the fruit of Tadic's pass.
Four minutes later Tadic was sent off by Ten Hag, replaced by Danilo, returning to the bench with a brilliant record of one goal and two assists while Ajax kept the score at 5-0 until the final whistle.
The two teams play again on Saturday, when Ajax host Groningen at the Johan Cruijff Arena and Fortuna travel to the GelreDome to face Vitesse Arnhem.
