Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Hiruzen was surprised by the question. He thought for a few seconds before answering, "Not that I know of. Why do you want such a seal?"

Fujin answered, "I could inscribe such seals in a room and use it to train at a much faster speed."

Hiruzen's eyes immediately widened as he understood what Fujin was thinking of. He couldn't help but think, 'From where did he get such a crazy idea? If such a seal exists, it will completely break the power balance in the world! A large number of Jounins and even a handful of rank S ninjas could be raised in a few years.

In fact, this method could be the perfect way to raise the young kids we rescued. No one will be able to point any fingers as their ages won't match up. Unfortunately…'

Hiruzen said, "It's a good idea. Unfortunately, such a seal doesn't exist. Even if it did, you should be very careful of it. You wouldn't want to spend your entire youth in a room."

Though the idea was good, it was more effective for an organization like the Root. It wouldn't be very effective in raising a future Kage as they will lack qualities other than strength.

Fujin sighed and thought, 'I thought as much. Guess trying to reverse that seal is the only way. Of course, it's easier said than done. Fortunately, I don't need it desperately as I still have more than 4 years.

If I had to forcefully create it, I guess my best bet would be to revive Tobirama and have him work on it. Unfortunately, I don't know Edo Tensei nor can I control him to do something like this…'

He said, "Alright, Grandpa. I'll continue training the same way."

Fujin got up to leave but before he could disappear, Hiruzen said, "Oh, I almost forgot to mention. Some of the kids have Kekkei Genkai. One of your tasks will be giving them some attention and guiding them. I want them to become Elite Jounins in the future. And, another task you'll have is ensuring that this stays a secret. Only clan leaders and Anbu can know of it, but you don't need to take the initiative to inform them."

Without waiting for Fujin's reply, Hiruzen disappeared from the room. Fujin cursed, 'This old fox, he keeps giving me more tasks! He even ran away before I could ask for anything in return…

Still, this isn't bad. I wanted to create a Kekkei Genkai with Wind and Lightning or Wind and Fire elements. In fact, that is my next goal after my current training is complete. Unfortunately, I never had any inspiration in this direction. Perhaps watching those kids might be helpful. I guess there is some benefit in watching over those kids…'

Fujin disappeared from the Council Room as well. He returned home and thought, 'Before I get that responsibility, I need to create the Eight Trigrams Divination Seal. I have been putting it off for a long time.'

Konoha became busy very quickly. The clan leaders were busy making arrangements to ensure that their clans didn't fall prey to such attacks. On the other hand, Hiruzen was increasing the security of the entire village and was activating the spies he had placed in other villages. At the same time, he sent a message to Jiraiya, informing him about the recent events and asking him to dig out information on anyone who could launch such a strong Lightning jutsu.

Meanwhile, Danzo was busy increasing his influence on the Root ninjas he was planning to let go of. He wanted to ensure that he could recruit them back as soon as he got an opportunity and didn't lose them forever like the previous Root ninjas who joined the Anbu.

At noon, the Root ninjas left the labs and met with Hiruzen leaving the Root officially. From this day onwards, Danzo would have only 10 subordinates. Or rather 11, since Hiruzen wasn't aware that one of his Anbu reported to Danzo.

While everyone was busy and tense, Fujin was in his basement, working with a hundred clones to create the Eight Trigrams Divination Seal by placing two Four Symbols Seals on top of each other. Since he knew the basic idea, it wasn't very difficult. He just had to get it right once.

A couple of days later, a couple of Anbu appeared at Fujin's house and informed him about the development plan to develop his land and the nearby plots.

Fujin checked it once and was slightly surprised. He thought, 'Hmm, not bad at all. It looks like Hiruzen wants to keep my house at the center and develop houses on the plots next to mine. The remaining area on my land will be used to construct a training facility for the kids and some space will be left for other community buildings that I might need in the future. He has also left a lot of land for future expansions… I wonder if he plans on diverting more kids here…

Oh well, once it is done, it would almost be like a clan compound. Though it'll be smaller than any clan compound. Not surprising considering that the clan compounds were built when each of the clans was at its peak. After three wars, their numbers have dropped a lot. So comparing with them wouldn't be fair.

Oh well, whatever. Let them work, I'll just set up the seals later on. I doubt anyone would dare mess with me once the seals are up.'

While not many were aware of it, the ones who were didn't need to think much about how many seals Fujin would inscribe in the territory under his control. It was one of the reasons why Hiruzen wanted to put the 'rescued' kids under him. The chances of anyone spying on them and sending information to enemy villages were almost null. It made him the best option once Root was out of the picture.

The work around Fujin's house continued while he continued training unbothered. He focused more on creating the seal while training his body and working on Flying Thunder God jutsu on the side. The Wind Domain training was stopped for the time being. Around 8 days later, a smile appeared on Fujin's face as he received the memories of one of his clones. He muttered, "Eight Trigrams Divination Seal is learnt!"

Fujin thought, 'Now, I need to make a seal imprint and test this seal out on someone else before trying it myself. Sadly, the village is still tense. I won't be able to leave right now. Oh well, I can just continue training the other 3 techniques…

My Flying Thunder God's teleportation range is increasing rapidly. I can now teleport up to 50 meters away. Unfortunately, I still need to resist the pressure from the Void. Still, that is improving rapidly as well. I guess in around a month, Flying Thunder God jutsu can be considered as mastered.

Then I will only need to keep working on increasing its range. I have a feeling that even that will become easier once I pass a certain threshold. Otherwise, reaching Minato's level might take centuries. Oh well, issue for later. Time to train Wind Domain again. I haven't trained that ever since I left the village to meet Shigeki.'

Fujin left his house and entered the Training ground. As he had expected, he ran into Naruto who was training as well. On seeing Fujin, Naruto excitedly said, "Fujin! Are you finally done with your work?"

Fujin didn't want much distraction while he was working on the seal. So he had asked Naruto to not disturb him unless it was very important. Seeing Fujin finally leave his house, Naruto was a bit excited. Fujin nodded and said, "Done for now. Anyway, what's up with you? And why is your right wrist bandaged?"

Naruto laughed nervously and said, "There were several ninjas moving around the village for the last few days. I decided to prank them. Hehehe, you should have seen them panic. One of them got startled and accidentally hurt me."

A frown appeared on Fujin's face. While he didn't care that much for Naruto, he didn't want to see him getting bullied, especially by grown-up ninjas. The poor guy already had a rather miserable childhood. He asked, "Who did it? And how exactly did he hurt you?"

Seeing Fujin serious, Naruto immediately explained, "No no, it's fine. That person was wearing a mask, so I don't know who he was. He only appeared next to me suddenly and grabbed my hand very tightly. But when he saw me, he quickly apologized and took me to the hospital to heal me. He also paid all the expenses and just told me to not do that again."

A weird expression appeared on Naruto's face as he said, "Actually, he was very polite and apologized several times and ensured that I was fine. I don't think anyone has been that polite with me. But he didn't tell me what his name was."

Fujin was slightly surprised. He thought, 'I see. I guess Naruto just startled them. Since they were tense, they assumed it to be one of the culprits and took action rapidly. Anyway, being able to startle Anbu is good. It looks like Naruto has made some progress recently.'
