Naruto: The Wind Calamity
Naruto: The Wind Calamity - Chapter 568: 27569

'WHAT IN THE FUCKING HELL?' Even someone as calm and composed as Kakashi was completely flabbergasted by what he witnessed. The sight was just too absurd and too horrifying!

With his Sharingan, he could clearly see the seals that Fujin had placed. The entire compound was densely covered in seals. Fujin's house was the worst. It was so densely covered in seals that Kakashi's Sharingan couldn't even see the walls of his house!

He cursed, 'What is that? Why are there so many seals? Did he put seals on the house to protect it or did he build a house there to have something to put the seals on?'

Kakashi was astonished. Every top ninja's house would be covered in seals. Even Kakashi's house had several seals. After the Root was blown up, even the Jounins from the civilian background paid SealMasters to secure their houses with seals. However, it was the first time that Kakashi had seen such a dense collection of seals. Normally, it would be rare to see a house in Konoha with more than a hundred seals.

Kakashi wondered, 'How many seals are there exactly?'

Since he had nothing better to do and had a Sharingan, Kakashi began counting the seals. His eyes kept getting wider as the number kept rising! His throat became dry as he realized, '27569 seals! And a very high number of those seals are the ones that can hide other seals. So the actual number might be double that or even more!

More importantly, that is just the number of seals on his house! The entire compound has a similar number of seals as well. What in the world is Fujin planning? His house and compound are more of a fortress than a house!

Kakashi couldn't think of any good reason for Fujin to do something like that. He thought, 'Since Third hasn't done anything, it's safe to say that there isn't any ill intention behind his actions. That said, I need to be very careful if I ever have to enter that compound. Also, I still need to ask why he made my students do something like that… If I don't, then I have a feeling that my days will become far more chaotic!'

Kakashi had seen enough for a day. He decided to leave. Fujin was unaware that Kakashi had just checked his house and left as silently as he arrived. If he knew, he would have chuckled at his reactions.

By the time Kakashi left, Fujin was done talking with Naruto. He said, "Ah, I nearly forgot. The kids who were supposed to move into the compound did so a few days ago. I'll introduce you to a few of them. If you get along, then I'll arrange for you to move into one of the buildings next to the house?"

Naruto was immediately excited. All his exhaustion due to Kakashi's training suddenly disappeared as he exclaimed, "Really? You're the best, Fujin!"

Fujin chuckled and thought, 'Guess it was more of a mental fatigue than physical fatigue.'

He sent a Shadow Clone to call his 5 students, who arrived in a few minutes and entered his house. They immediately saw Fujin sitting with a blonde kid who looked a few years older than them.

Fujin smiled and said, "Come on in, make yourselves comfortable."

They entered the circular room and sat on the sofas in the room while curiously looking at Naruto. Yuji curiously asked, "Who is he?"

Naruto immediately introduced himself, "I am Uzumaki Naruto! I'll be the Hokage! Believe it!"

The 5 kids just stared at Naruto with a deadpan expression. None of them expected to hear something so absurd. Seeing their stares, even Naruto felt embarrassed.

*Cough*

Fujin suddenly coughed, attracting everyone's attention. He said, "Naruto, they are my official students. Get along well with them."

Naruto was surprised. He asked, "You accepted students?"

Fujin nodded. He looked at his students and said, "He is Naruto. Though he isn't my student, I did guide him a bit before he graduated. So I guess, in a sense he is your senpai. Right now, he is on Hatake Kakashi's team. You can hang out with him if you want to."

The kids were surprised. For starters, they didn't know that Fujin had guided others. However, what surprised them more was Naruto was being taught by Kakashi! Sayaka exclaimed, "Your sensei is Hatake Kakashi? The Copy Ninja? That's so cool!"

Her statement immediately earned a peculiar gaze from Fujin, which was felt by her. She looked at Fujin and quickly added, "You're cool as well, sensei."

Meanwhile, Naruto wondered, 'Copy Ninja?'

Fujin waved his palm dismissively as he said, "I don't care. I'll be busy for the rest of the day. So, we won't be having our afternoon training session today. You can enjoy the remaining day. Naruto, if you want to teach them your pranks, that's fine. Just don't go overboard. Now shoo shoo."

By the time Fujin was done speaking, all the 6 kids in his room suddenly felt a breeze. In the blink of an eye, the breeze suddenly became very strong, the doors automatically opened and all 6 were tossed out of his house. The doors shut tightly right after they were out.

Naruto fell to the ground and muttered, "That was new!"

Naruto was one of the few who had gotten a taste of Fujin's Wind Domain. Fujin's students had got it as well since Fujin used it to make their training considerably tougher at times.

Takeshi sighed and added, "Sensei's control over the wind is super scary!"

Sayaka muttered, "I still don't understand how someone can have such good control over an element."

When they saw it for the first time, the 5 of them wondered whether Fujin had a Kekkei Genkai. However, none of the existing Kekkei Genkai had such a feature.

Naruto didn't care about the winds and instead asked, "By the way, why did you call Kakashi sensei 'The Copy Ninja'?"

That earned another glare from the 5 kids. Yuji asked, "Is Hatake Kakashi really your teacher?"

Naruto nodded. Yuji looked at him like he was an idiot and asked, "So how do you not know that? It's like the most basic information available about him."

Naruto ignored his look and said, "Well I don't know. Would you guys tell me?"

Hikari giggled and answered, "He can copy any jutsu after looking at it once. Everyone says that he has copied more than a thousand jutsus in this manner. That is why he is called as the Copy Ninja Kakashi by enemy villages."

Naruto's eyes widened. He said, "I knew that he knows over a thousand jutsus. I didn't know he copied them. Still, that's a cool title! I want one too!"

Sayaka added, "Well, you're just a Genin. Generally, only Jounins get such titles. Sensei has a cool title as well."

Naruto was surprised again. He asked, "Big brother Fujin also has a title?"

Yuji teased him once again, "Dude, do you live under a rock?"

While training in the Root, they had been made to memorize the entire Bingo book. They expected that other ninjas would have done so as well. To their surprise, they were wrong.

Sayaka said, "Yuji, don't be mean. And yes. Sensei's title might be even cooler. He is called the Spectral Swordsman!"

Naruto exclaimed, "Damn! That's a cool title! What did big bro do to get such a cool title?"

Yuji grinned and answered, "No one knows for sure. Sensei's mission record is a top secret. I guess only Lord Hokage knows. Everyone else only knows some rumors."

Naruto asked, "What are the rumors?"

Yuji grinned even more and added, "They say that he appears and disappears like a spectre while harvesting the lives of his targets. He is so scary that the person doesn't realize that he is dead until sensei is long gone.

Some rumors say that there were two people who were walking and talking together and sensei killed one of them. The other person didn't realize that the one who he had been talking to was dead for several minutes!"

The way Yuji said it, made Naruto feel chills. He nervously said, "I knew Fujin was scary, but I didn't know that he was this scary..."

Sayaka nodded and added, "Apparently, he has killed a few hundred ninjas in this manner. It was why he was given that title. That said, until this day, no one knows whether he really is the Spectral Swordsman as there is no proof against him. As Yuji said, these are just rumors. The only thing that is true for sure is that those guys are dead!"

Naruto's face became slightly blue as he said, "That just makes him even more terrifying!"

The kids nodded. Yuji had gotten bored of teasing Naruto. He asked, "Anyway, Sensei has given us the rest of the day off. Do you know anything fun, Naruto? Sensei said something about pranks."

Immediately, a mischievous grin appeared on Naruto's face. That day, several people in Konoha had an extremely annoying day! A particular old man, who was peeping into a crystal ball, was experiencing a terrible headache. Once again, he was cursing his past self for the choices he made.
