Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Danzo asked, "What about his house?"

Torune answered, "Whenever Suzuki Fujin leaves his house, he puts a Five Seal Barrier tag on the door. I managed to find two more tags within a day. But despite searching for a long time, my bugs couldn't find the two remaining tags around his house.

I can't say for sure, but I think that there are a lot more seals on and around his house. I got a feeling that if I had gone to inspect myself instead of sending bugs, I would have been discovered even if Fujin wasn't there."

Danzo was stunned. He began analyzing, 'Such carefulness while training and such protection for his house. Even the Uchiha clan wasn't so much on guard despite knowing that we could attack preemptively. What is he up to?'

Danzo became very suspicious of Fujin. No other Konoha ninja took so much effort to protect their secrets. The only one who did was Danzo himself.

Danzo analyzed, 'There shouldn't be anything fishy in what he does in the training grounds. Hiruzen can inspect them anytime he wants to. However, his house might contain a lot of secrets. But, why didn't Hiruzen look into it?

Such behavior is even more brazen than what Orochimaru did. At the very least, he didn't do anything in his own house and created secret bases around the village. So why didn't Hiruzen look into it? Or could it be that he has given the boy his approval?'

Danzo analyzed for a few more minutes before concluding, 'I forgot that Suzuki Fujin is only 14 years old. What secrets can he hide? Apart from some sessions to learn Mystical Palm, he has no record of any expertise in Medical Ninjutsu.

Hiruzen is likely using that boy to bait me. The seals should have been placed when Hiruzen understood that it was inevitable for his identity to be leaked. Once I make a move, he will get a reason to take the orphans I just recruited.'

Danzo looked at Torune and instructed, "Don't spy on him continuously for now. Instead, you will spy on him for two days once every fortnight. Select the days randomly."

Torune replied, "I will, Danzo-sama."

Torune left his office. Danzo watched him leave and thought, 'Though this might be a trap, I can't stop spying on him. There is a lot about this boy that doesn't add up. To recruit him, I will need information about his personality, values, ideology and his abilities. I can then find a way to drive a wedge between Hiruzen and him.'

A frown formed on Danzo's face as Hiruzen's face appeared in his mind. He thought, 'Hiruzen is up to something. He is hiding a lot about this boy. Despite pushing him so much in the last meeting, he refused to tell us anything about the boy's abilities that wasn't already mentioned in the Bingo book. Seeing how secretive he is, there should be a lot more to this boy.'

Unfortunately, Danzo had no way to know what was being hidden. He could only stay patient and wait for Torune to find something.

Though Fujin had an idea that Danzo's subordinates were likely spying on him, he didn't know who was doing the job. After the 1st mistake, Torune was extremely careful. He stayed long away and only sent scouting bugs to check on him. He avoided doing anything that could expose him. He didn't send his bugs when Fujin was inside the training ground and stopped planting bugs in the training ground during the night after Fujin got rid of them thrice.

As a result, Torune managed to stay hidden. But as a consequence of such carefulness, he wasn't able to get any information about Fujin's abilities other than his Taijutsu. He did collect some other data like the restaurants Fujin preferred to visit, his schedule and similar miscellaneous information, which was important as well.

However, Fujin was aware that there was no way of hiding such basic information about himself. So he didn't bother trying to hide them. Instead, he just raised his guard against any attempts to poison him.

Since Torune didn't expose himself again, Fujin stopped caring about him and continued his training. His progress with the Wind Domain was slow but he made rapid improvements in Taijutsu after Guy returned from his mission. However, his biggest gain was something else entirely.

Fujin was sitting in his basement, his mind completely focused. His eyes were glued to his left arm, which was entirely covered in various symbols. Under Fujin's control, the symbols began rearranging themselves, forming a seal on his left arm.

Fujin let out a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "Four Symbols Seal imprint is done!"

He focused once again. The seal on his arm began moving to a point on his left palm. Within minutes, it completely disappeared.

Fujin observed his hand and thought, 'Finally I have a reliable method to deal with Jinchurikis. However, for it to be successful, I'll need to use the seal before they transform into their Tailed Beast mode. Otherwise, it might be very risky. However, I can't say for sure until I experiment.

Experimenting on Tailed Beasts right now isn't possible. But I should try to experiment on other stronger beasts. Though the Four Symbols Seal is mostly used for Tailed Beasts, there is no reason why it can't be used to seal other beings.'

The scene of the gigantic whirlpool appeared in Fujin's mind. He shook his head and analyzed, 'But, unlike the Tailed Beasts, the other beasts can probably not be used as a Chakra Battery. The best way to use them would be a summoning contract. If they disagree or lack intelligence, then I can seal them with this seal and release them for rampaging around. They would serve as a good distraction.

I also need to create the Eight Trigram Divination Seal. That would require some experimentation as well. Once that is done, I can begin working towards an original seal. I will have my clones working towards this after the remaining seals are learnt. Shouldn't be too long now. I should be done with this in the next round of training.'

Fujin left his house and went to the training ground to continue with the Wind Domain training. Fujin walked to the center of the training ground while inspecting the training ground with his chakra field and stood facing a tree.

After confirming that there was no one spying, he began emitting chakra into the air. Soon, the entire surrounding was filled with his chakra. Fujin concentrated on the chakra in front of him.

Winds formed and began moving towards the tree. However, instead of moving normally, the wind moved in a unique pattern. A large amount of wind concentrated together as if it was forming something. Soon, it took the form of a human hand. Its size was as large as a normal person and instead of fingers, it had sharp-looking claws.

Fujin controlled it and used it to grab a branch of the tree. Immediately, around a quarter of the leaves on the branch were pulled off. The branch itself was assaulted by the winds several times.

Fujin observed the attack and thought, 'Though I haven't made any groundbreaking progress in the Wind Domain, I am progressing steadily. This attack is a result of 3 weeks of training. I will call it the Ghost Palm.

Once I master it, I can use it to grab or just slash my opponent. If I grab it, then I can use it to either immobilize him or to shred him.'

Fujin controlled the Ghost Palm and pulled all the leaves that were broken off towards him. The Ghost Palm slowly dissipated while a few hundred leaves moved towards Fujin. The branch stopped swaying. Some of its bark was peeled off but the branch itself was largely unharmed.

Fujin analyzed, 'Its power is still lacking but I still have more than a month of vacation left. By the time it's over, this attack will be ready.

Regardless, the Wind Domain has a lot more applications than I thought. Due to my chakra getting mixed with the wind, I get a lot of control over it. I can use it to concentrate the wind in one spot and decrease its density in the remaining places.

It's this ability that I used to form the Ghost Palm. And by doubling down on this, I can use the Ghost Palm to create an immobilizing effect. Even without the Ghost Palm, if I just increase the concentration of air around and above an opponent, he will feel immense pressure.

And, once the Wind Domain is properly developed, I'll be able to do the vice versa as well. Every ninja, barring Obito, Pain's six bodies, and maybe the likes of Kakuzu, Hidan and Sasori, needs air to survive.

Though this technique wouldn't be effective by itself as even an Academy student can move out of the range, if I combine it with a Fuinjutsu Battlefield, this will be an easy killing move! If my opponent doesn't have a space-time movement jutsu like Reverse Summoning to escape, they'll die helplessly!
