"What is the second drawback?"
Fujin's students and Naruto thought for a bit. While they did so, the commotion created by Fujin's jutsu finally settled down. Sayaka glanced at it and her eyes widened. She said, "I understand. The scale and the power of the jutsu is a drawback in itself!
We can target a normal jutsu at our enemies but a supercharged jutsu might hit our allies or any other bystanders. There will be a lot of collateral damage."
Fujin replied, "That's right. Due to the increased power, the supercharged jutsus will hit everything in its path. If your teammates or allies are nearby or your enemies have hostages who you want to rescue, then you'll have to be very careful while using this technique."
Everyone nodded. They imagined themselves getting hit by Fujin's supercharged Great Breakthrough jutsu and shivered. None of them wanted to be in the way of such an attack or see their friends get hit by it.
Fujin continued, "Of course, you'll be able to control even supercharged jutsus perfectly with training. However, that takes several years to master and your chakra control will have to be far better than your current levels. So, remember these drawbacks for now.
Anyway, we've talked plenty. It's time to learn it. Who all… who all want to master this technique?"
As Fujin was speaking, his eyes widened momentarily before going back to their normal size. None of the kids noticed it and they shouted that they wanted to learn it.
Fujin thought, 'I was sensed… Someone sensed me. However, it wasn't a chakra field nor was it that pervert ball…'
Fujin's gaze fell on Naruto as he realized, 'I guess Jiraiya is finally in the village to look for Naruto. That was probably a Senjutsu-based sensing technique. Well, if he's here, then I have to pull that off, hehe!'
Fujin barely took a second to analyze who sensed him. He chuckled at the reactions of the six kids in front of him and said, "Due to the nature of this technique, all of you can't train at the same place. This training ground is a bit too small for all six of you to practice at the same time…"
The six of them immediately looked at the training ground. Yuji muttered, "More than small, it is too sad."
Hikari agreed with him, "Yeah. Other than trees on the outskirts of the training ground, it is almost completely barren!"
Naruto looked around and said, "The training ground has become like this once again. Doesn't grandpa Hokage say anything? Also, how do the trees recover every time?"
Fujin chuckled and said, "On the contrary, he promotes using training grounds to their full extent so that we can train and become stronger. Besides, such things are very common when you train. If he begins nitpicking, then no one would use training grounds and the strength of our ninjas will decrease."
A bewildered expression appeared on Naruto's face as he wondered, 'Is it really so common? Our training ground never once suffered so much even though we trained for so long…'
Fujin replied, "Anyway, no need to bother with this. I'll ask him to 'transplant' trees here once again. He won't mind."
Naruto and the rest nodded. They had frequently experienced the phenomenon of the training ground transforming from a barren wasteland to a lush green place filled with dense trees! Of course, they didn't know that a certain someone would be completely spent due to having to undertake such an arduous task.
Fujin created 5 Shadow Clones and left them with his students to oversee their training in the training ground. Meanwhile, Fujin took Naruto to the river bank to train in the open space present there.
Fujin thought, 'In the original story, he was perving around the hot springs. However, it's safe to say that it wasn't a coincidence. He must have sensed Naruto in the same way but Ebisu couldn't detect it for obvious reasons. Oh well, I wonder if he'll approach me openly or whether he'll still perv around…'
Fujin's thought process was broken by Naruto, who asked, "How do I supercharge my jutsu?"
Fujin looked at him and said, "Well, before I teach you that, I'll teach you a new jutsu. It's a rank B jutsu called Infinite Breakthrough jutsu. It's the more advanced version of Great Breakthrough jutsu and the jutsu I use most frequently. In the future, use this one instead."
Naruto became puzzled and asked, "Didn't you just say that the rank of the jutsu doesn't matter? Why are you teaching me a higher rank jutsus then?"
Fujin raised an eyebrow and asked, "When did I say that? I just said that both have their advantages and disadvantages. A higher-ranked jutsu is generally more refined and doesn't have the shortcomings that lower-ranked jutsu does. In return, they consume a higher amount of chakra.
For instance, the winds generated by the Infinite Breakthrough jutsu are a lot sharper and more intense as compared to the Great Breakthrough jutsu. When you are facing too many enemies or an enemy who is quick on his feet, this jutsu will be much better. There is another thing you need to remember."
Naruto paid attention as Fujin asked, "Did you notice that you're able to last much longer than others during training or fighting?"
Naruto immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I can train much longer than Sakura and even Sasuke!"
Fujin said, "That's because your chakra reserves are huge. Despite your young age, your chakra reserves are one of the highest in the village. That's the reason why I decided to teach you this technique.
Unlike others, you can infuse a high amount of chakra into the jutsu and increase its power beyond what should normally be possible. In addition, you won't run out of chakra as easily as others would."
Naruto's eyes widened. He exclaimed, "No way! How much chakra reserves do I have? How much higher is it than Sasuke's?"
Fujin smiled and answered, "Forget Sasuke, your chakra reserves are slightly larger than even mine. There aren't many ninjas with larger chakra reserves than mine in the village. And, you're only 12. By the time you become 16, your chakra reserves will surpass everyone else in the village by a substantial level."
Naruto immediately exclaimed in shock and happiness, "Holy crap! I'm awesome!"
Fujin chuckled and said, "Yeah. Even though your talent in other aspects is quite bad, you beat others in terms of chakra by a large margin."
Naruto's happiness decreased slightly as he dejectedly asked, "Did you have to put it in such a way?"
Fujin chuckled and replied, "Well, I have to ensure that you stay grounded. Besides, having a large amount of chakra isn't that useful if you don't know how to take advantage of it. So practice earnestly. The technique of supercharging jutsus will allow you to stand apart from your peers. Pay attention, I'll show you the hand seals of Infinite Breakthrough jutsu. It's quite similar to the Great Breakthrough jutsu. So, you have to master it by the end of the day. Tomorrow, we will practice supercharging."
Naruto nodded and observed Fujin carefully. Fujin explained to him the workings of the jutsu, displayed the hand seals and showed how to perform them. Naruto immediately began practicing it.
While Naruto began training, Jiraiya reached Fujin's compound while thinking, 'So this is the house of the boy Sensei told me so much about. Why does he live on the outskirts? There is nothing interesting here. Hmm?'
A frown appeared on Jiraiya's face as he muttered, "Something feels weird…"
He concentrated Chakra in his eyes as he focused on Fujin's house. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. The book he was holding fell to the ground as his hands forgot to hold on to it! He shouted, "Which lunatic did this???"
The light coming from the seals was so intense that Jiraiya could see nothing but the seals! Forget Fujin's house, even the compound walls weren't visible! Jiraiya's throat became dry as he muttered in disbelief, "This… How many seals are here? Thousands? Tens of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands? And, Naruto lives here?"
Jiraiya gathered his thoughts and wondered, 'Did sensei order this or was it that boy? So many seals… Did they want to hold the Nine Tails here in case he ever broke out of Naruto? Or does sensei want to imprison all 9 Tailed Beasts here?'
No matter how Jiraiya tried to analyze, he couldn't make any sense of the sight in front of him. He thought, 'I'll have to discuss it with sensei.'
Even though there weren't any passersby near Fujin's compounds, Jiraiya's outburst attracted the attention of a few Anbu ninjas who flickered on the walls to see who it was. On realizing that it was Jiraiya, they respectfully greeted him before continuing their duties. Seeing that one of their Sannins returned to the village, their morale increased.
Jiraiya thought to himself, 'I need to meet with Naruto.'
He turned his head away from Fujin's compounds and looked towards the training ground on the opposite side of his house. He was about to take a step when his feet suddenly froze. He muttered, "Why does the training ground feel odd as well?"
His eyes glowed once again as he observed the training ground. The book that he had just picked fell down again as disbelief appeared on his face yet again!
