Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 379: The Mole in the Anbu!

In one of the many training grounds inside Konoha, it looked like a calamity had struck. Hundreds of trees were broken. The ground had dozens of craters. In fact, the entire training ground was covered in cracks.

In this training ground, two individuals sat on broken stumps while breathing heavily. Guy said, "You are growing very rapidly. Small quantities of chakra have already started infusing into your body."

Exhaustion could be heard in Guy's tone. Fujin's breathing was even rougher. He said, "It's thanks to your training plan. I already feel much stronger. In another couple of months, this process should reach the initial completion stage."

In the last month, Fujin visited Yoshi in the Konoha hospital several times to confirm that the process wasn't harmful to his body. Though he trusted his analysis and Guy's intentions, there was no harm in being more careful. Fortunately, the process was very safe and beneficial for him.

Guy nodded and said, "Yeah. Your progress will slow down once you reach that stage. But don't be discouraged. As long as you keep training, your body will keep getting stronger."

He grinned, gave Fujin a thumbs up and said, "There is no limit to how much our bodies can improve!"

Fujin nodded and thought, 'Yeah. Who'd have imagined that this crazy guy would nearly kill Madara who was at a level far beyond what he was in his prime.'

Fujin said, "Don't worry. I'll keep working on my body."

He chuckled and added, "I'd hate it if I couldn't make you go all out in our spars."

Guy chuckled as well. Fujin continued, "But, we won't be able to spar for a few days. I'll be going on a mission."

Guy replied, "Actually, our spars will have to become less frequent."

Fujin raised his eyebrow and asked, "Why?"

Guy grinned and said, "Because I'm gonna be a sensei."

Fujin acted surprised and said, "Ah, I nearly forgot that a new batch will be passing out from the academy."

He chuckled and teased, "But I didn't think you were the sensei-type, Guy. Hahaha!"

Guy ignored the teasing tone and claimed proudly, "My squad will have a very promising youngster. In the future, he may even give you a tough time, Fujin. So don't get too comfortable with your power."

Fujin waved his arm dismissively and replied, "I'm still a few days away from my 15th birthday. So, I am still in my youth and have a lot to grow. It's you and Kakashi who are getting older and have to be worried about being surpassed."

Guy immediately stood up and exclaimed passionately, "Don't underestimate the power of my youth!"

Fujin chuckled and said, "I'll see you around, Guy. Good luck with your new students."

He disappeared from the training ground. Guy muttered in annoyance, "Did Kakashi send him to me so that I wouldn't challenge him anymore?"

He snorted and exclaimed loudly, "Kakashi! My eternal rival! We need to have another competition before we both become Sensei!"

He disappeared from the training ground as well!

Fujin returned to his home. Since it was the last day of his vacation, he decided to rest so that he would be at his full strength during the mission.

Fujin analyzed, 'This vacation was very fruitful. I created an array of new Vacuum and Wind jutsus that compensate for my previous weakness. Though a new counter can be created for my new fighting style, it will be more difficult and take a longer time. More importantly, they would have to know about these new jutsus. And I have several methods of keeping them hidden.

Beyond that, my biggest gain was becoming Fuinjutsu Grandmaster and creating Seal Imprints. My Taijutsu has also made massive improvements. And, I have made my idea of the Wind Domain a reality, though it still needs a lot of work.

After I quit Anbu, I will have to keep working on my Taijutsu and Wind Domain. Along with them, I'll have to work on learning the Flying Thunder God and creating the Eight Trigram Divination Seal.

Of these 4, the Eight Trigram Divination Seal should be the easiest. Once I'm done with it, I'll create its seal imprint and then begin working on creating a Battlefield as Uchiha Sora did. Sigh, the next year is going to be as hectic as my last 3 months. And that's without considering any outside interference.'

Fujin rested for the remaining day. The next day, he returned to the underground Anbu Headquarters after 3 months. As usual, the Anbu headquarters had several Anbu moving around it. A few glanced at Fujin before continuing with their work. Fujin noticed their glances and didn't mind them. He just entered his assigned room.

Unknown to him, one Anbu ninja became serious about seeing Fujin. However, he didn't glance at Fujin for more than a second, due to which Fujin didn't notice anything odd. He thought, 'That's Suzuki Fujin, the Spectral Swordsman. Though he is wearing a mask, I can easily identify him.

Danzo-sama said that he had taken a 3 month-long vacation. Since he is back, he should be taking a mission today.'

He immediately moved towards Eagle's office.

Inside his room, Fujin met up with his team. He looked at all 3 and asked, "So, did you enjoy the vacation?"

Bunjiro grinned and answered, "Of course. I was afraid that my sensei would have broken his ties with me had the vacation been any longer."

Hearing his words, Yugao's expression also became weird. She had made Hayate teach her so much that he had fallen sick. Fortunately, she was wearing her mask. She and Fumito nodded.

Fujin said, "I would have loved to spar with you guys once again. But we will be hitting the ground running. Our next mission will be completed by you three. I will be just observing you three and will only interfere if you can't handle the mission."

Yugao replied, "You can leave it to us, Captain."

Fumito nodded and added, "I have been wanting to test my skills for some time as well."

Fujin nodded and said, "Good. I'll go take a mission from Eagle. You three wait here. By the time I return, decide on which disguise you want to use during the mission. We will be completing the mission under disguise."

After the last mission, Fujin didn't want laziness to be the reason for getting caught in another trap. Though maintaining transformation jutsu all the time strained chakra reserves and concentration, it wasn't unbearable.

The trio nodded. Fujin left his room.

While Fujin was talking with his team, Danzo's subordinate entered Eagle's office and approached him. Eagle looked up and asked, "Tiger, does your team want to go on a mission again?"

Tiger nodded. He was an Anbu Captain just like Fujin. Of course, he was much weaker. Eagle quickly handed him a mission.

Tiger read the mission information and asked, "Can I look into the other missions as well, in case there is one that suits my team more?"

Eagle nodded. Anbu ninjas picking out missions for themselves during peacetime wasn't strange. Pretty much everyone did it regularly unless there were special instructions from the Hokage or a mission required a particular set of abilities.

Tiger quickly looked into all the available missions. After a couple of minutes, he shortlisted two. He analyzed, 'A diplomatic mission to the Land of Grass. Danzo-sama said that Fujin was frequently given diplomatic missions in the last year. So he could be given this mission. But…'

Tiger looked at the second mission and analyzed, 'But the situation in the Land of Waterfall is more important. We have to eliminate an entire Noble family because they are planning for a deep cooperation with Iwa. They will have a few Jounins protecting them and Iwa ninjas could also be involved. With his past record, Fujin would likely be sent here.'

Tiger said, "I want to take this mission to the Land of Grass."

Eagle replied, "Alright. Your team can take it."

Tiger nodded and left. As soon as he left, he created two Shadow Clones. One Shadow Clone went out to inform his teammates while the other Shadow Clone snuck into the Root facilities hidden underground. He himself kept waiting in the hall.

His Shadow Clone reached Danzo's office in a minute. Danzo noticed him and asked, "Did Suzuki Fujin appear?"

Tiger nodded and said, "He and his team have appeared in the Anbu Headquarters. I believe they will take a mission today. I checked up on all the missions. There were two that I thought he would be given. I have taken one of them. So he should be dispatched to the Land of Waterfall to eliminate the Yanagi family."

Danzo nodded and analyzed, 'The Yanagi family. They are trying to enter into an alliance with Iwagakure due to the previous events. A good mission. The presence of Iwagakure ninjas wouldn't be seen as suspicious.'

He said, "Good work. Return to your duties. Send me a confirmation when you see him leaving. After that, just complete your mission properly."
