Chapter 57 : Analysis and a Weird Situation

Tossing the stone away, Fujin put his hand in his bag and tossed 12 shurikens one after another in the air.

'Projectile Control Jutsu'

Fujin used the jutsu to control the Shurikens and had them move through the forest while avoiding all the trees. The shuriken moved continuously through the forest and all of them hit the same tree around 500 meters away from Fujin.

At the next moment, Fujin appeared next to that tree using Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu.

He retrieved the Shurikens while concluding, 'Wow, I didn't think that 2 months of Senju Taijutsu training would end up boosting my Ninjutsu so much.

In the Great Breakthrough jutsu, I could pour up to 15% of my Chakra. While it took a minute, the result was very good.

The Spinning shield of wind could only take up to 2.5% of my chakra. I just couldn't add more to it. It was similar to the Wind Gale Wolf jutsu. I could just pour 2% of my chakra into each of the Wolves.

The Wind Dragon jutsu on the other hand could take 20% of my jutsu. And using Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu to my current limit of 500 meters requires 1.5% of my chakra.

Wind Projectile jutsu requires a negligible amount of my chakra now. While each Wind Explosion jutsu needs less than 0.1% of my chakra.

Wind Levitation jutsu doesn't have much battle use for now. Wind Retrieval jutsu can be used to create some chaos though.

Anyways, just this short show of my jutsus cost me almost 50% of my chakra. I wonder if Renjiro has more means to increase my chakra levels. Though it shouldn't be an issue for now as I can't really supercharge any jutsu in combat.'

Fujin began gathering chakra again and slammed his hands on the ground. A Rock shield appeared in front of him.

Seeing the shield, Fujin sighed, 'No wonder it is just a rank E jutsu. It has already long reached the limit for me. There's no scope to improve it any more.' The size of the Rock shield was no bigger than what Fujin could do 2 months ago.

'That said, I need to discuss with Renjiro and see if he could have any method to release the jutsu by stepping on the ground rather than slamming hands down. Oh well, I'll ask when he restarts Ninjutsu training.'

After concluding, Fujin made a hand sign and disappeared underground. While underground, he sighed, 'I've been so busy with everything, that I never really practiced this jutsu after graduation.'

He kept moving underground for a bit, before suppressing his chakra signal and making another couple of hand signs. In an instant, he disappeared and reappeared around 150 meters in the direction he was facing.

'Hmm, Earth Instantaneous Body jutsu and Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu are perfect for escaping without leaving any trail. Earth Instantaneous Body jutsu would actually be perfect for infiltrating enemy territory. I wonder what counter has been developed against this jutsu.'

He then rose up from the ground, made another hand sign, and placed his hand on the ground. The ground ahead of him transformed into a moat of mud. The size of the moat was 6 meters in radius and 10 meters in depth.

He moved to a different spot, made a few hand signs, and slammed his hands again on the ground. This time, the ground rose slowly, as if trying to trap someone.

Fujin analyzed, 'Earth Holding jutsu is just too slow. Kinda a similar situation with Mud Moat jutsu. Then again, these 2 are the only jutsus that I can use to trap enemies. Should be sufficient for now.'

Having tried and analyzed the current status of most of his jutsus, Fujin decided to return home to rest.

While leaving, he muttered to himself while looking at the ground, "My jutsus should be good enough for now. But I do need the Earth Wall jutsu. That'll improve my ability to defend further. And my current chakra should be plenty for it. Though I guess Renjiro won't allow it.

Anyways, I hope that we get to participate in the next Chunin exam. I really want to test myself in combat. It should be fun.' He grinned and looked up.

What he saw made him feel a bit awkward. A good chunk of the forest was utterly destroyed by Fujin testing his jutsus. He wondered, 'If someone were to come here and see this, I wonder what they'll think.

Luckily, this area is kinda remote and people shouldn't be coming here. But in any case, I should hide my tracks in case someone did come here. Also, it would probably be best if I don't return here in the near future.'

Fujin jumped onto a branch of one of the trees that still had branches.

'Gale Jutsu'

A gentle breeze blew through the forest, covering up every footprint in it and also dispersing the scent slightly. Once this task was done, Fujin made a hand sign and disappeared from his spot, and appeared on another branch around 500 meters away.

He used Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu a few more times before getting out of the forest. After leaving the forest he flickered away toward his house while wondering if anyone would ever see the havoc there.

A couple of months later, 2 special Jounins from the Hyuga clan happened to pass through this forest, when they unwittingly entered the area where Fujin had caused the devastation. Seeing the number of uprooted and sliced-off trees left them dumbfounded.

Coincidentally, a squad of Anbu too happened to cross through the same area at that time. Seeing the two Hyuga present, they instantly began asking them for the reason why they destroyed the forest and enquired whether there was any battle there.

The Hyugas denied the charge and said that the forest was already wrecked. The Anbus looked around carefully and realized that it had been a long time since the destruction had happened.

They investigated around and asked the Hyugas to help them, but found no clue. They wondered if someone was training here, but couldn't understand why anyone would train here when there are so many training grounds available around Konoha.

The unusual nature of this destruction made them report the situation to the Hokage. Hiruzen too was confused similarly. He sent out an anbu squad specializing in investigation and tracking to check. Unfortunately, Gale jutsu, 2 months of time, and a few showers of rain had removed anything that could have been used to find a clue.

The Anbus would return empty-handed, and Hiruzen dropped the case as there were no clues and it wasn't worth allocating more resources to.

Of course, Fujin would forever remain ignorant about such an incident happening.
