As the group proceeded ahead, they were attacked again on two occasions. However, in both instances, all enemies were killed without Fujin getting any chance to fight.
Fujin wondered, 'Are there so many rogue ninjas in this country? Or is Orochimaru trying to influence the environment here? After all, he shouldn't be able to create a hidden village while the Daimyo still exists. Then again, for him to kill off a Daimyo in secret shouldn't be much of an issue.'
Fujin wasn't able to arrive at any conclusion. So he dropped the thought.
On the day after, they reached the location and completed the mission. Without waiting, the Konoha team left back for Konoha.
As they were running on branches, Tamotsu asked, "So Fujin, how did you feel this mission was?"
Fujin answered, "Well… It was kinda boring."
Tamotsu laughed at that answer. He said, "Yeah. Most missions are boring. If we have exciting missions all the time, then we won't live for long."
Fujin thought, 'Yeah. That's true. Still, this is very boring.'
Ryota said, "Most rank B missions are like these. Our missions get interfered with by rogue Genins and Chunins. They are very easy to kill off."
Tamotsu added, "If the missions involve rogue Jounins or ninjas from another major village, then it'll be categorized as rank A or S. Or the Anbu will handle them."
Fujin nodded and said, "Yeah, that makes sense."
Tamotsu said, "Don't worry. I'll give you a more active role in future missions."
Fujin smiled and thanked him. However, internally he sighed, 'What's the use of having an active role against such enemies? They will die without even seeing me! It's fine for now, but I will need to find a way to get better missions after I'm done with my training plans.'
The team returned to Konoha without any issues and divided the rewards equally. They had a group dinner before leaving for home. Tamotsu asked the group to meet again in the Mission center after a week.
Fujin began meditating after reaching home when he heard a knock on his door. He wondered, 'Who'd come to visit at this time?'
He opened the door to see a familiar face. That person worked in Eiji's shop. He said, "Fujin-kun, the work on your house is completed. Eiji-sama wants to show it to you tomorrow at 9 AM."
Fujin replied, "Oh, that's great. I'll be there. Thank You."
The messenger nodded and left. Fujin thought, 'Kinda convenient that it got completed today. Right after my mission was completed.'
The next day, Fujin headed to the land he bought after completing his morning workout. When Fujin reached, he saw his new house.
Fujin thought, 'Wow! This looks great!'
The house in front of him was 3 storeys high. It was circular in shape and was quite huge. A circular fence was built around the house. The rest of his land still had trees making the surrounding of the house look great.
While Fujin was admiring his house, Eiji arrived. He asked, "Are you lost in its beauty?"
Fujin chuckled and said, "You have done a great job old man!"
Eiji chuckled and handed him a key and said, "I finished constructing it 3 days ago. But it seems like you were out on a mission."
Fujin thought, 'Oh. Was that guy checking my old house every night then?'
He nodded and said, "Yes, I returned yesterday evening."
Eiji said, "Let me show you the house from the inside."
Fujin took the key and entered the house. The ground floor was huge. After entering the house, there was a circular room on the left. It had a big round table at the center along with multiple sofas between the table and the wall. In addition, this floor had a kitchen and a couple of washrooms. At the center of the floor, there was a circular staircase.
The remaining space on this floor was open. Eiji had placed a dining table, a few seats, and a few flower pots in proper positions to add to the aesthetics.
After checking the ground floor, Fujin decided to check the floors above. The area of the floors above decreased successively. The first floor had 5 rooms while the second had 3. On top was an open terrace.
On both the first and the 2nd floor, one room each had proper furniture to be considered a bedroom. The remaining rooms were empty.
Fujin saw his house and commented, 'Now that's money well spent. That said, I have no use for most of these rooms for now. But, it's good to have some extra space in case I need it for some reason in the future. Anyways, I should check the important stuff now.'
Fujin and Eiji moved down the stairs to the basement. The basement had two floors too. If these 2 floors were included as well, then Fujin's house was a 5 storey house!
The first basement floor had very little space around the staircase. There was a 2 feet wide circular passage around the staircase. On the other side of this circular passage were 8 rooms. Fujin checked the rooms and all were built very well. All the rooms were completely empty other than having a few lights and some wire extensions in case Fujin decided to add some electronics in the rooms.
Lastly, they moved to the bottom floor of the basement. In complete contrast to the floor above, this basement floor was completely open! There were only a few pillars on this floor to support the house above, but other than the pillars, nothing existed on this floor.
Eiji said, "As you had asked, this floor is completely open. And everything here is extremely sturdy and strengthened even further by the Sealmaster."
Fujin nodded and built his chakra up.
'Wind Release : Breakthrough Jutsu'
Fujin suddenly exhaled a strong stream of wind from his mouth. The wind moved rapidly and hit all the pillars and the walls. Not a scratch appeared.
Eiji, who was standing next to Fujin, was surprised. The high-speed winds crashed into the walls and some part of it was reflected back at them. He found it very difficult to stand steady. He said loudly, "What are you doing?"
Fujin chuckled and waved his hand. He used Gale Palm jutsu to quiet down the winds. He said, "Great work. Though that was one of my weaker jutsus, this room is very sturdy. Thanks again."
Eiji grudgingly said, "Alright. But don't try to kill me again."
Fujin chuckled.
Eiji said, "I have made the house according to our plan and even placed furniture as you asked. If you need anything in the future or want furniture for the remaining rooms, you can come to my shop."
Fujin nodded. Eiji left the house leaving Fujin alone in his new house. Fujin saw Eiji out and then checked his house once again. This time, he concentrated chakra in his eyes and inspected everything.
After half an hour, he concluded, 'Alright. I know I am being overly cautious, but there doesn't seem to be anything wrong in the house. And, all the walls are as sturdy as Eiji promised them to be. Anyways, now that I have my house, I can finally start my plans. But, first I need to clean the house.'
As Fujin thought that, the wind began gathering around him. The Wind gently flew through his entire house. It gathered most of the dust and soil and left his house. Then, Fujin created as many Shadow Clones as he could and they all cooperated to clean the home properly.
When his house became very clean, Fujin closed the door and began inscribing seals on his new house.
During the last 3 months, Fujin had debated a lot on whether or not to cover his house in seals. After a lot of analysis, he concluded the pros and cons of it.
He concluded, 'If I don't inscribe my new house with seals, then my Fuinjutsu capabilities can stay a secret for long. That's the only plus point. On the flip side, my house could be checked by any passing Hyuga. If my luck is bad or someone decides to spy on me, then my training of Lightning release and other stuff that I plan to keep a secret could be exposed.
On the other hand, if I inscribe seals in my house, then my skills at Fuinjutsu will be exposed very easily. I could lie that I had hired a Sealmaster while building the house, but I can't be sure how long that lie would last. Furthermore, others might think that I have something to hide and might get more interested in my house.
As for the positives, seals would secure my house and I can do all the shit I want without worrying about the n number of sensory abilities in this world.'
After analyzing both scenarios, Fujin decided, 'I'll cover my house in as many seals as I can! I'll eventually have to expose my ability in Fuinjutsu anyways. So might as well do it now. If Hiruzen or Renjiro ask me, I'll tell them that I used the shadow clone trick and instead pass hints to them that I need the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu. As for the rest, I'll just give some lame excuses.'
