'What now? Don't tell me he is going to ask for the 120 million Ryo I was able to save!' Hiruzen wondered fearfully.
Raising his guard to the highest level, he said, "I'm glad you learnt something. In the future, when you lead more negotiation missions for the village, I expect you to save or earn a lot of money for the village as well."
Fujin replied, "Yeah, I understand. Though to be entirely honest, it's not the money I'm worried about. I can't shake off the feeling that there will be a battle in the future…"
Hiruzen was surprised by his words and looked carefully at him. On one hand, he was relieved that Fujin wasn't asking for anything and was instead thinking about the village. On the other hand, Fujin's words raised his concerns as well. He had been feeling that something was about to happen even before the Chunin exams started.
A frown formed on Fujin's face as he continued speaking, "Do we really have no counter for Orochimaru's skin-shedding technique? How are we supposed to fight him if he always recovers to perfect health?
The only possible counter I could come up with was fighting him till he ran out of chakra. However, he is very good at using the Reverse Summoning jutsu. He'll escape long before he reaches that stage. He can just wait until he recovers and attack again. If he intends to cause harm to the village, then it is only a matter of time before we suffer."
Fujin's words made Hiruzen sigh in fatigue. He had been considering how to deal with Orochimaru ever since Orochimaru and Fujin fought in the Forest of Death. Fujin observed his reactions while thinking, 'I've already asked for all the jutsus I could from him. The only ones left that I know of are Edo Tensei and Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
However, I know that he won't give either of the techniques to me. One is too dark and deadly while the other is suicidal. That said, who knows what sort of technique he and others have created in the dark and kept a secret from everyone else? If I can get any more strong jutsus from him, then it would be a nice bonus.'
Unfortunately for Fujin, Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Sadly, there is no counter. Even seals wouldn't work against him. The jutsu had the drawback of requiring too much chakra and exhausting him physically, but he seems to have improved upon those limitations.
The only way to stop him would be to kill him in one blow and hence not allow him to use this technique."
Fujin said, "That is extremely difficult as well. His physique is much stronger than ours. Had he been normal, he wouldn't have survived my Shadow Clone Explosion jutsu. My final attack should have killed him as well."
Hiruzen replied, "He is a rank S ninja after all. And perhaps the most peculiar one out of them all. Killing a rank S ninja is never easy. That has always been the norm…"
Hiruzen left the next part unsaid, 'Well, at least that's the norm since Lord First passed away…'
Fujin sighed and said, "Oh well, I guess I'll just have to create a jutsu strong enough to kill him in one shot. I'll see you later, Grandpa."
Fujin disappeared, leaving Hiruzen alone. Hiruzen sadly thought, 'Even for me, killing him in one shot is probably no longer possible. 10 years ago I wouldn't have any issue in doing it. However, my strength has decreased considerably since then. The only guaranteed way to kill him now is Dead Demon Consuming Seal. However, if I use it, I'll die…
But if I don't do it, then I might not be able to kill him even with this technique in the future. Should I correct the mistake I made a decade ago at the cost of my life? Or should I trust the future generation to take care of him?'
Fujin's words 'I'll just have to create a jutsu strong enough to kill him in one shot' echoed in Hiruzen's ears. Hiruzen thought for quite some time before letting out a long sigh. He decided, 'Oh well, at least let me first see what scheme my traitorous student has been brewing. I'll take a call depending on what the situation is.'
While Hiruzen pondered what to do about his rebellious student, his perverted student was sitting behind a mud wall, anticipating Fujin's next move. Jiraiya expected the winds to cut through his mud wall and had prepared his next move. However, to his surprise, the intense winds didn't target the mud wall protecting him at all!
Confused, Jiraiya wondered, 'What exactly is he aimin…'
Jiraiya's body suddenly froze! He felt a massive killing intent right behind him! In an instant, he realized who was radiating the killing intent. He slowly turned his neck to see half a dozen girls looking angrily at him. If looks could kill, Jiraiya would have long been dead.
Jiraiya dumbfoundedly realized, 'His target wasn't my mud wall! It was the bushes that were keeping me hidden! Shit!'
Jiraiya didn't have any time to think as several dozen kunai with explosive tags attached to them were thrown at him by the kunoichis he was spying on! Seconds later, the spot where Jiraiya was standing blew up with a massive explosion!
The kunoichis quickly grabbed whatever clothes they could and appeared on the bank.
"Where is that pervert?"
"Is he dead?"
"No, there are no signs of blood! He must've escaped!"
"Shit! I want to kill that fucking bastard! How dare he peep on us! Look around, he might still be hiding nearby!"
"What was that strange wind earlier? Without it, we wouldn't have realized that someone was spying on us!"
"For him to dodge all our attacks, who was he?"
The kunoichis discussed among themselves while looking for Jiraiya. They quickly began looking around.
Some distance away, Naruto shivered and muttered, "They are scary! They are even scarier than Sakura!"
Fujin's clone nodded and replied, "Yeah. That's why you should never spy on bathing ladies. You wouldn't know what hit you."
Naruto obediently nodded and asked, "Do you think that man is still alive?"
Fujin's clone replied, "Tough to say. He did seem to have some skill. Regardless, that's none of our business, is it?"
Naruto shook his head and replied, "It isn't. But why are we hiding as well? Shouldn't we be the heroes for exposing the pervert?"
Fujin's clone and Naruto were no longer in their initial position. Instead, Fujin's clone had grabbed Naruto and the two hid right at the very moment the bushes were cut down.
Fujin's clone chuckled and said, "Sure we are. Would you like to go and tell them that?"
Naruto shivered at that thought and immediately shook his head. Fujin looked at the spot of the explosion and thought, 'I sensed that those girls were ninjas, I didn't expect them to be from the Anbu.
Sucks to be you, Jiraiya. Even though he is unharmed, this might give him some trauma… Hmm, on second thought, probably not. He might trump his sensei when it comes to shamelessness.'
Fujin was on his way towards his house when his clone sent him the memories. He spontaneously broke out into laughter. So did all his other clones. Fujin thought, 'Not bad, that went better than I thought. I picked the right spot to train Naruto, hehehe.'
On returning to his house, Fujin entered his basement and thought, 'Suna and Orochimaru should be quiet for some time now though I should still keep some chakra with me in case something unexpected happens. It's time to get back to training…'
Inside his basement, 50 Shadow Clones appeared! They immediately divided themselves into two groups. 10 Shadow Clones continued working on his original seal while the remaining 40 began working on making Kabuto's medical capabilities his own.
As for Fujin's main body, he had around 30% of his chakra still remaining. However, instead of doing any training himself, he sat down while reading a scroll. The scroll contained information on Yoroi and Misumi's abilities that Fujin had obtained from Kabuto's memories.
Fujin went through the information once again and thought, 'Sigh, why are all of Orochimaru's followers so strange…'
Fujin was intrigued by both of their abilities. Yoroi could absorb chakra from his opponents while Misumi could manipulate his body as if it was made of rubber. Even though neither was strong, their abilities were quite unique and useful.'
