Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Mieko scoffed, "Who said they could take all three of us by himself?"

Yori was about to argue more, but Teru said, "Drop it, Yori. There\'s no point in arguing."

Yori snorted and stayed quiet.

The group discussed for some time their jutsus, battle tactics and so on. After an hour, they dispersed.

Fujin went back to his home while thinking, \'Not bad, this went much better than I thought. I never thought we would spend most of our time talking about jutsus and tactics. Was surprisingly insightful.\'

After reaching home, Fujin cleaned up the mess and waited for Genki to return. He made a shadow clone and sent it to the library. The aim was to find Kakuzu\'s skin-hardening jutsu and any other good jutsu available in the B section.

Sometime later, Genki arrived. His jaws dropped on seeing Fujin\'s house from the outside. He thought, \'What the hell? Why does he need such a huge house? And where did he get the money for this? Did he somehow convince Lord Hokage to give him another reward?\'

He knocked on the door with his mind full of questions. Fujin opened the door immediately and welcomed him in.

Genki awkwardly said, "It looks like you are doing very well, Fujin."

Fujin didn\'t understand the context. So he just nodded and said, "Yes Sensei."

Genki sighed internally. He realized that Fujin didn\'t understand him.

Fujin asked, "Would you like to have something Sensei?"

Genki was surprised. He asked, "What do you have?"

Fujin answered, "Well, I have some snacks. And can cook a few pieces of Fried Chicken quickly."

Genki said, "Sure."

Fujin made a Shadow Clone who got to work.

Genki saw the clone and thought, \'He is using clones for this? Don\'t tell me he made such a huge house to accommodate his clones!\'

Genki said, "While your clone cooks, tell me what all you have experienced after graduating Fujin."

Both sat down as Fujin began telling Genki most of the unimportant events. Genki listened carefully while asking questions or passing comments, compliments, and criticisms. They ate the fried chicken while discussing.

After they finished chatting, Genki asked, "Fujin, did Lord Hokage give this house to you as a reward?"

Fujin tilted his head and asked, "Does Lord Hokage give houses as rewards?"

He looked down and muttered softly, "Did I just get scammed? I should go and ask him!"

Genki heard that and freaked out! Given his past experiences, Genki was sure that Fujin would take his name and ask the Hokage to reimburse him. Heck, he might even ask for interest!

He quickly refused, "NO NO NO. Lord Hokage doesn\'t reward like this. I just asked because I was wondering how you could afford such a place."

Fujin understood and said, "Oh. We did back-to-back rank A missions. I killed some ninjas with a bounty during it."

Genki was surprised. He asked in disbelief, "Rank A missions?"

Fujin nodded and said, "Yup. Renjiro sensei took us with him."

Genki didn\'t say anything. He thought, \'Fujin and his squad already did rank A missions? They did rank A missions at an age when I was still in the academy. Heck, I did my first rank A mission after Fujin graduated!\'

Genki had arrived here to motivate and encourage his student and inspire him a little bit. Instead, he began questioning his life choices and achievements.

He recalled how he introduced himself as an Elite Chunin to every class he taught. He recalled how he celebrated all night when he was promoted to Jounin. And now he found out that his students undertook missions at the same level of difficulty as him in just a year\'s time! And his student seemed to be doing financially better than him too!

Genki sighed in his heart thinking, \'When I taught the class, I always thought that I will feel pride when my students surpass me and have great achievements. I never imagined that I\'d be depressed. In all those thoughts I was already old and my students were in their twenties.\'

Fujin didn\'t understand why Genki was lost in thoughts. He said, "Unfortunately, the missions were classified. So I can\'t tell you the details, Sensei."

Genki replied, "It\'s fine. Anyways, rank A missions are very dangerous. It\'s fine when someone as strong as Renjiro leads. But don\'t try it without him."

Fujin nodded. Even with Renjiro, they almost died. Though it was likely that Renjiro\'s presence attracted Kakuzu.

Fujin asked, "Are you still teaching Sensei, or are you doing missions?"

Genki answered, "I was promoted to Jounin after you guys graduated. So I have been doing rank A missions."

Fujin\'s eyes brightened. He said, "Congrats Sensei!"

Genki smiled. Some of his pride returned. Though it was fated to be crushed again.

Fujin asked, "Can you invite me on Rank A missions, Sensei?"

Genki immediately refused, "No. They are too dangerous!"

He thought, \'What the hell? I thought he admired me. Instead, he just wants to take advantage of me! His greediness hasn\'t decreased one bit!\'

Fujin said, "Come on Sensei! I can handle myself as long as I am not facing Jounins. And my Sensor skills and Wind nature manipulation provide the perfect support!"

However, Genki remained adamant, "No"

Fujin looked at Genki with a deadpan expression.

Genki thought, \'Why is he looking at me like this?\'

He became a bit uncomfortable and asked, "What?"

Fujin said, "At least give a proper argument…"

Genki sighed and said, "I am a newly promoted Jounin. I am not our team leader. So I can\'t bring you along anyways."

Fujin thought for a bit, \'That is reasonable. Still…\'

Fujin sighed and said, "Alright Sensei. But at least recommend my name if you need someone with a skillset like mine."

Genki finally nodded and said, "Alright. But don\'t keep your hopes too high."

Fujin smiled and nodded.

Genki gave Fujin some advice on how to take care of the house and left.

After he left, Fujin sighed, \'Playing host is too much work. Though it should be fine once in a while. Also, none of my guests today noticed the basement. Looks like this cover is good enough.\'

Fujin created a shadow clone. It dispelled itself almost immediately. The memories of the clone were passed to the clone in the library. It dispelled itself.

Fujin received the memories and was surprised, \'Wow! I didn\'t think there was so much good stuff that I never checked! The jutsu Kakuzu used is called the Iron Skin jutsu. In addition, many Barrier jutsus are also placed in the B section. They will be good to have alongside my Fuinjutsu.

There is also the Summoning Jutsu: Rashomon! That would be another good defense to have. Though there is no triple or more layered Rashomon jutsus. Still, even without them, this is great.

Wild Lion\'s Mane Jutsu is another good one. It is the jutsu that Jiraiya used to extend and strengthen his hair. And Needle Jizo jutsu, based on this jutsu, is also there.

Actually, I can form a new defense system with Rashomon, Iron Skin and Lion\'s Mane jutsus. Combined with my high speed and intercepting or deterring attacks at mid-range with Wind Jutsus, injuring me will become very difficult.

Tobirama\'s Bringer of Darkness Genjutsu to target the Uchiha is present in the B section as well. Hmm, so 5 B rank jutsus that I will need to master. And might need some barrier jutsus as well. I will focus on these after I am done with my Lightning release.

Once I am done with all of them, I will try the summoning jutsu! With that good defense, I should be fine even if I encounter wild and ferocious summons who won\'t reason with anyone.\'
