Naruto: The Wind Calamity

The people surprised by this bounty weren't limited to just Village Leaders.

Akimichi Choza saw Fujin's bounty while looking through the new Bingo book. A thought, 'Such a high bounty. No wonder Lord Hokage wants to nurture him. But, I still don't understand why he wants to make someone this talented a negotiator.

Yamanaka Inoichi thought while looking at Fujin's information, 'So this is the boy that has been giving Shikaku sleepless nights. Fumito is on his squad. I'll ask him to improve his relationship.'

Hyuga Hiashi analyzed, 'So this is the boy pushing Hoka to continuously become stronger. I hadn't paid much attention to him earlier. But if someone like him is pushing Hoka, then it'll be very beneficial for Hoka.'

A look of surprise appeared on Inuzuka Tsume's face as she thought, 'I remember how dedicated he was to training during the Chunin exam. I knew he'd become strong. But I never imagined he'd reach such a level so quickly.'

The other clan leaders had similar reactions. However, because they hadn't been in direct contact with Fujin, they had to look up for more information on him.

Since not everyone checked the Bingo book regularly, the ones other than the clan leaders didn't get to know about Fujin's bounty immediately. But as the word about this matter, almost everyone in Konoha became aware of another talented youngster rising through their ranks.

Of course, the one who was the most proud was Renjiro. A smile formed on his face as he muttered, "It looks like I might not be able to keep up with him anymore."

He looked at the sky and wondered, 'Is this a sign for me to retire and leave active duty?'

Fujin was unaware of the fame he was gaining in his village. However, even if he had known, he wasn't in a state to think about it. The effect of the soldier pill had run out and he was in a deep sleep as his body and mind were completely exhausted.

He rested for a couple of days before continuing his morning routine. To push himself to his limits, he started to use his training seal at 100% capacity for the duration of the training.

After the training, he sat with his back against a tree while breathing heavily. He thought, '100% capacity is too much to handle with that intense workout. I should go at 92% from tomorrow and slowly increase it to 100% in a month.'

Fujin took a while to catch his breath. On recovering, he analyzed, 'In the last 3 days before the pill ran out of energy, I managed to create imprints for all the seals that I decided on. And my clones managed to learn both, the Five Elements Seal and Five Elements Unseal.

I will next create imprints for these two. Their complexity level is much higher than the other seals I imprinted. Once I manage to create imprints for them, I'll begin working on the Four Symbols Seal's imprint.

My Vacuum Gatling is also at a usable level now. Its speed is around 71% of my Vacuum Bullet. And I can fire them at an angle of up to 45°. In terms of firing rate, I can fire 4 rounds in a second and 10 in 3 seconds.

Spending more time on improving any of these aspects would be pointless. Over the next few months, as I become more used to this jutsu, its speed should increase to around 90% of the Vacuum Bullet and the angle should increase to 60°. The firing rate should also increase to 5 rounds in a second.

I only need to train one more thing with the Vacuum Gatling. After I'm done with it, I'll begin working on an AoE Vacuum jutsu. But, these can wait for some time. I need to do something more important today.'

Fujin kept resting until he had completely recovered and then got up and began moving towards another Training Ground. He thought, 'I hope this goes well. If possible, I would love to explore this route further as well. Maybe not to the limit, but close to that point.'

Fujin disappeared from his spot and moved at a rapid speed using Body Flicker.

In one of the many training grounds in Konoha, a voice could be heard reverberating among the trees.

"894"

"895"

"896"

"897"

"898"

"899"

Suddenly, the person stopped and looked up. After a moment, he continued doing his pushups and asked enthusiastically, "Fujin! How have you been?"

Fujin replied, "Doing well, Guy-san. How about you?"

Guy replied with the same enthusiasm, "Never been better. Why are you here? Also, just call me Guy."

Fujin, "Sure. I need your help. My Taijutsu skills are growing rusty and I was wondering whether you'd be up for some sparring."

Guy said, "So you want to spar? Alright!! Just give me a few minutes."

"932"

"933"

"934"

"935"

"936"

"937"

Fujin watched with a deadpan expression as Guy doubled his speed of doing push-ups. He sighed internally, 'As expected...'

Fujin moved away and began stretching his muscles until Guy was done. In less than a minute, Guy shouted, "1000!"

He got up and said, "Alright, let's fight now."

Fujin nodded and took his stance. A smile appeared on his face as he felt a sudden surge of excitement. He thought, 'Might Guy… Though I have fought a lot of exciting battles, be it against Kakuzu, Darui, Roshi or Kitsuchi and have seen someone like Hiruzen in action, no one comes close to this beast in terms of real strength.'

Despite it being over a decade, Fujin couldn't help but recall the scene of Uchiha Madara declaring Guy as the strongest in Taijutsu!

Guy shouted, "Here I come! Let the power of youth explode!"

Without further ado, Guy burst forward like a whirlwind at an incredible speed. At the same time, Fujin moved forward as well and unleashed a punch. Their fists clashed, producing a loud sound and a minute shockwave!

A look of surprise appeared on Guy's face. It soon turned into a grin as he exclaimed, "Good! I can feel the power of youth coursing through your body!"

A grin appeared on Fujin's face as well while he said, "Might Guy… I have heard that you are the greatest Taijutsu master in our village. A shame that I couldn't spar with you until now. I really hope you live up to your reputation because I haven't felt so excited about a fight in a long time."

Fujin immediately unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks relentlessly, forcing Guy on a backfoot. Guy blocked and dodged his attacks and in a few seconds, began counterattacking. The two exchanged blows without a break.

As the fight continued, Fujin slowly started getting overwhelmed. He parried Guy's kick while thinking, 'Such crazy raw power and speed! His experience in Taijutsu is far superior to mine as well. I haven't seen anyone apart from Hiruzen move this fast. And we aren't yet using Chakra to enhance our power and speed.'

Though Guy was better and was overwhelming Fujin, Fujin could still hold on. Since he was the one to request a Taijutsu spar, Fujin refrained from using Chakra to enhance himself to get an advantage.

If someone were to see this fight, they would be shocked. Both Fujin and Guy moved at such a tremendous speed that neither could be seen by an untrained eye. Only the sounds of their fists and legs clashing could be heard. Occasionally, some part of the ground would blow up or a tree or two would be broken.

After 5 minutes of such intense combat, both fighters finally stopped and stood around 10 meters apart while facing each other. Fujin's breathing was slightly rough. A few bruises could be seen on his arms and legs. However, none were serious. In comparison, Guy didn't have any injuries on his body. His breathing, though slightly heavier, seemed normal as well.

Guy praised, "Excellent, Fujin! You truly embody the spirit of youth!"

Fujin replied, "Thanks, Guy. Your reputation doesn't do you justice."

A grin appeared on his face as chakra began flowing around his body. He asked, "I wonder if you'd like to get serious now."

Guy observed Fujin and said, "The Senju Taijutsu style. Good. Other than Lady Tsunade, I haven't seen any other ninja from the Senju clan exerting more chakra than you."

Guy took his fighting stance. Fujin immediately became extremely serious. He immediately concentrated chakra in his eyes. He could sense an intense chakra being radiated from Guy. It wasn't as strong as his chakra in quantity, but it felt far more intense.

Sweat dripped down Fujin's forehead as he observed Guy's application of chakra. He could only think, 'This guy…'
