Naruto: The Wind Calamitychapter 523: wind domain

Fujin said, "Alright. Next time, don't prank a ninja when he is very busy. It's fine to prank the ones idling around though. Anyway, how many of those masked ninjas were there?"

Naruto said, "There were 8."

Fujin chuckled and said, "Being able to prank 2 squads of Anbu. Hehe, that's good progress."

Naruto asked in a confused tone, "Anbu?"

Fujin replied, "They are the ones wearing the mask. Don't prank them in the future. Their jobs are quite tense and they might not hold back."

As someone whose killing instincts were honed during his time in the Anbu, Fujin was well aware of how cold and quick Anbu could be. Pranking them was generally not a good idea.

Naruto obediently said, "Alright. I won't prank them."

He looked towards Fujin's house with some interest and asked, "What is happening with your house? Are you making it even bigger?"

Fujin chuckled and said, "Lord Hokage wants me to look after some orphan students. They'll be moving over once everything is constructed."

Suddenly, Fujin had an idea. He smiled and said, "Once they do, maybe you could make several friends."

Fujin chuckled internally while thinking, 'Root's training makes a ninja very antisocial and a bit robotic. While Hiruzen's brainwashing should have some influence, I doubt it'll compare to what Naruto can achieve. This guy literally talked Nagato into reviving the ones he killed…

Besides, I can encourage Naruto to teach them how to prank. Hehehe. I'll have an army of minions to unleash on the village. I wonder what an army of talented brats trained by Root and influenced by Naruto will do to the village.'

While Fujin was scheming to unleash a different type of hell on Konoha, Naruto was lost in his own thoughts. Involuntarily, he asked, "I am an orphan too. Can I move here as well?"

Fujin was caught off guard by the question. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he muttered, "You want to move in here?"

Naruto immediately answered, "Yes!"

Fujin thought, 'Now here's something I didn't think of…'

Fujin thought for a bit before concluding, 'There is no harm to it. As long as he gets along with them, it might create a good impact on him. The only issue is that he might pick up some of their jutsus. It might change his fighting style. But, as long as he doesn't learn and spam the Shadow Clone trick, his strength shouldn't differ by much.

The only issue is the political ramifications it might have. Others might view it as me making a move on Konoha's only Jinchuriki. Sigh, my influence is increasing too rapidly. I don't have the energy to engage in internal politics any more than I already have to. That said, I just gave Danzo a bloody nose. I doubt anyone would want to mess with me so quickly. Oh well, I'll just go with the flow.'

Naruto asked again nervously, "Can I move here?"

Fujin replied with a smile, "I'm not sure how the kids who will move in will be. Why don't you make friends with them first? If you guys get along, I'll request Lord Hokage to allow you to move."

Naruto immediately bloomed into a smile. He jumped and said, "Alright. I'll befriend them, believe it!"

Fujin chuckled. He asked Naruto about the progress he made and the two began discussing it. After some time, Fujin began his training.

A month passed. Since the houses were being constructed, Hiruzen decided to keep the rescued kids in Anbu quarters for the time being. He also used the opportunity to interact with them regularly and instill the Will of Fire in them. Considering their high numbers, this was one of the extremely rare times that Hiruzen used Shadow Clones inside the village to do something that didn't involve combat.

The situation in the village calmed down with time. However, top-level combatants like Fujin, Kakashi and Guy were asked to stay in the village just in case something else happened.

In the 23rd Training Ground, Fujin was standing with his eyes closed. To a normal eye, it might look as if he was just standing there. However, if any sensor observed him, they would notice a tremendous amount of chakra being emitted from his body.

The chakra turned into wind and mixed in the surrounding air so naturally, that it wasn't even visible. However, the tremendous amount of chakra meant that even a normal human would sense something was wrong. The few birds that still dared to live in this training ground immediately began flying away.

Within seconds, the winds Fujin released completely encapsulated everything within 50 meters of Fujin. Fujin's eyes opened. In an instant, hundreds of deadly wind blades formed in the air and cut down every tree within that range! The rocks and hills were covered in deep cuts as well.

At the very next second, the winds began flowing circularly around Fujin with him as the center. Within a few seconds, a hurricane formed in the training ground as winds flew circularly at a very high speed.

Fujin raised his right hand as if his palm was controlling the entire hurricane. He flipped his hand and pushed it forward. At that very moment, the tip of the hurricane suddenly moved forward while its base stayed around Fujin. The tip slammed into one of the massive ramparts Fujin had constructed when he was practicing AoE Vacuum jutsus.

The high-speed winds began eroding the rampart, but the rampart wasn't damaged much. Suddenly, sharp wind blades began forming in the hurricane and every single one of them bombarded the rampart. Immediately, hundreds of deep cuts began appearing in the rampart every second. Within half a minute, the hurricane drilled through the rampart, leaving a large hole at its center!

Fujin clenched his right palm before suddenly stretching all his fingers! At that very moment, the hurricane that had drilled through the rampart suddenly transformed into small wind blades and bombarded the land between the four ramparts. Thousands of small cuts appeared on the ground.

A smile appeared on Fujin's face after seeing the destruction. Very few ninjas would be able to defend against such an attack. Of course, it did have the drawback of needing a very high amount of chakra. It used up half of the chakra that he had emitted in the air. But considering the devastation, Fujin felt that it was appropriate.

He moved both his hands forward as if he was grabbing something. Immediately, 8 Ghostly Palms made of wind appeared around him. Under Fujin's control, the Ghost Palms swept away the debris within the Wind Domain and sent them flying in all directions. Soon after, they transformed into small wind blades as well before dissipating into the air.

Fujin tried a few more things until he was satisfied. A grin appeared on his face as he thought, 'Wind Domain is finally good enough to be used against rank S ninjas. However, there are still a couple of flaws I need to look out for and one improvement I still need to make.

If I go up against someone who can absorb chakra like Kisame or Pain, then I'll just be gifting them my chakra. The only way to avoid it is by turning my chakra completely into Wind blades. But, no matter how efficient I am, some chakra always gets left even in the Wind blades. Otherwise, the Wind Blades just collapse.

Forming an attack purely of wind without any chakra involved is almost impossible. The only way I can think of is to improve my physique to such a level that I can replicate Guy's air punches that he used against Madara with my sword. Something similar to what Swordsmen in One Piece did.

That said, if my Physique reaches such a level, why would I need to depend on Wind Domain? I can just pummel them to death. I guess the only way to properly counter this would be learning Senjutsu. That will make absorbing it a folly. Until then, I will just have to rely on teleporting Samehada or the chakra-absorbing Pain away. Of course, that is if I have to engage in a life-and-death battle with them. Otherwise, I can just run away.

The other flaw is the amount of chakra the Wind Domain needs. I had to pour half my chakra into creating the Wind Domain just now. In a battle, I should limit myself to 10%. I can increase it depending on the battle situation.

As for the improvement, I still haven't been able to create Vacuum cores inside the Wind Domain. Luckily, the current destruction is pretty good already. I can leave this matter for later.'

Fujin stretched his body for a bit before deciding, 'I will pause the Wind Domain training for a long time now. And, I still can't leave the village. I guess it's time to ask Hiruzen's help again. While I didn't need a reason, considering the huge responsibility he has put on my shoulders, he can't refuse, hehe.'
