Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Naruto looked at Fujin and excitedly asked, "Which is the second jutsu?"

Fujin had promised Naruto four jutsus. So, Naruto was very excited about knowing which other jutsus he had planned.

Fujin smiled and said, "Calm down for now. I have some things to say and ask."

Naruto stopped speaking and acted calm. Fujin said, "Though you have learnt the jutsu, there is a lot for you to improve. Perform the jutsu again and use it to attack me."

Naruto asked, "Wouldn't you get hurt?"

Fujin waved his arm dismissively and said, "With your current skills, no. Just do it."

Naruto nodded and weaved hand signs. He aimed his palm at Fujin and shouted, "Gale jutsu!"

Immediately, a gentle wind flow was released from Naruto's palm and moved towards Fujin. Fujin's shirt fluttered and some leaves around him moved, but Fujin was unmoved. The gentle breeze had no effect on him.

Fujin said, "See, nothing. Now stand in one place."

Fujin raised his right arm towards Naruto. Naruto stood still and looked at Fujin's palm. A second later, a strong wind current was released from Fujin's palm. Naruto's eyes widened as he felt the intense winds coming towards him. In a moment, the winds sent him flying backwards, completely surprising Naruto who yelled in shock. He flipped in the air and landed around 20 meters behind. However, he still lost his footing and ended up stumbling backwards.

He quickly got up and rushed towards Fujin and exclaimed, "That was so cool! Can I do this as well?"

Despite getting hurled backwards, Naruto wasn't hurt and didn't have any hard feelings as Fujin had only done that to prove a point. Fujin smiled and said, "You can, but you will need to keep practicing. If you never practice this jutsu again, then it won't keep improving. Of course, spending all time on one jutsu isn't a good thing. So you should learn other jutsus as well, but keep practicing this jutsu occasionally so that you can improve and do something like this as well."

Naruto immediately nodded and shouted, "I will keep practicing, believe it!"

Fujin smiled and asked, "What is your progress with Leaf Concentration and Leaf Cutting?"

Naruto answered, "I can stick the leaf to my forehead for 25 minutes. As for Leaf-cutting, it is still very difficult. I am only able to create a tiny cut in the leaf."

Fujin thought for a bit and said, "Leaf cutting takes time. So the slow progress is understandable. I think you'll be able to complete it in around 3 or 4 more months. However, your progress in Leaf Concentration is very slow. Focus more on it. Once you reach the 2-hour mark, I will teach you two things that are very cool."

Naruto's eyes sparkled. He immediately asked, "Which techniques?"

Fujin grinned and replied, "That will be a secret. I can only say that they are very cool and you would love them. So reach it quickly if you want to learn them."

Naruto replied, "I will stick the leaf for 2 hours, believe it!"

Fujin smiled and said, "I believe you, Naruto. Now, it is time for you to learn your second Wind Release jutsu."

Fujin grabbed a couple of shurikens and said, "Your second jutsu will be Projectile Control jutsu. Here, take this."

Fujin handed Naruto a shuriken. Naruto accepted it with a confused look. He asked, "Projectile Control jutsu? That sounds boring..."

Fujin ignored his complaint. He pointed at a nearby tree and said, "Throw the shuriken at that tree."

Naruto aimed and threw the shuriken at the tree. The shuriken hit the tree, confusing Naruto even more. Fujin handed him the other shuriken and said, "Do it again."

Naruto replied, "Alright."

He aimed and threw the shuriken once again. To his shock, the shuriken changed course mid-flight and instead hit the tree next to his target tree. He looked at Fujin and asked in shock, "Ho… How? How did that happen?"

Fujin smiled and answered, "That is the Projectile control jutsu. You use the winds to control the direction of flying objects. It is very effective in combat. If you throw a shuriken and your enemy dodges it, you can use this jutsu to change the direction of the shuriken and catch your opponents off guard. You can also use it to divert the enemy shurikens or kunai coming towards you."

Naruto heard Fujin's answer with awe on his face. To his surprise, a grin formed on Fujin's face. Fujin added, "Of course, that's just the tip of what this jutsu can do. One of the best uses of this jutsu is messing with others."

Naruto asked in confusion, "Messing with others?"

Fujin nodded and said, "Imagine someone in your classroom tosses an eraser to his or her friend. And you use this jutsu to change the direction of the eraser and hit someone else, creating a fight."

Naruto was stunned. He looked at Fujin with a stupefied expression on his face. He never imagined that the dignified Council Member would ever say such words.

Fujin continued, "You can use it on several other things. For instance, balls in the playing ground. This jutsu is only limited by your imagination. Of course, the same also applies on battlefields. So don't limit yourself to traditional use of the jutsu."

Ideas kept pouring into Naruto's mind as he comprehended Fujin's words. A mischievous grin appeared on his face as well. He exclaimed in a goofy tone, "Oh boy! I can think of so many pranks with this jutsu! Hehehehe! Iruka sensei is going to hate me."

Naruto couldn't stop grinning. Fujin gave himself an imaginary pat on his back and thought, 'Good, entertainment for the next year is secured.'

Naruto looked at Fujin and asked, "Is it fine to use this jutsu for pranking?"

Fujin nodded and said, "Enjoy. You'll be able to improve your control over this jutsu far more quickly by employing it in pranks than trying to learn it by yourself in a training ground. Your classes should start in a couple of weeks, so you won't be able to train here all the time. You can use the Gale jutsu for pranks as well. However…"

Fujin's face became strict as he said, "A few warnings. Listen seriously. If you don't follow them, then I won't teach you anything in the future."

Naruto became serious. Fujin was the only one who taught him new jutsus and he didn't want to push Fujin away. Fujin instructed, "You will never use this jutsu to control sharp objects until I allow you to do so. So no changing trajectories of shurikens, kunai, knives, needles and other such items until I permit you. For the time being, I'll make wooden shurikens for you to practice. Understood?"

Naruto nodded obediently. Fujin continued, "Good. Even after I give you permission, the same rules will apply in a few conditions. You won't use this jutsu on sharp objects while pranking. You won't use it to control shurikens you throw while sparring with your classmates either as they can be severely hurt if they don't dodge. But using it against spars with teachers or someone like me or in a battle is fine. Also, take care to not hurt anyone while using this to prank. Even harmless objects can hurt someone if you accidentally poke their eyes."

Naruto nodded and said, "I'll use it carefully, believe it."

Fujin smiled and said, "Good. I'll now teach you how to use this jutsu."

Fujin quickly taught Naruto the hand seals to the jutsu and explained to him the mechanics of the jutsu. It took an hour, but Fujin was finally done! Fujin created a set of wooden shurikens, kunais and needles for Naruto to practice.

Naruto began practicing the jutsu. Once again, the sound of the jutsu name that Naruto shouted reverberated throughout the training field. Fujin observed him and wondered, 'Should I ask him to stop yelling out jutsu names?'

He thought for a bit and shook his head. He muttered to himself, 'Leave it. It's kind of fun to see him yell the jutsu name so loudly. I'll leave this job to Kakashi.'

Fujin created a Shadow Clone to look over Naruto and disappeared from the training ground. He entered his house, shut the door and muttered, "It's time to test step two!"
