Chapter 109: Senjutsu
Hiruzen smiled bitterly, 'He really does make the most of every opportunity!'
He said, "Unfortunately, you can't learn that right now."
Fujin showed a thoughtful face and asked, "Why not?"
Hiruzen answered, "To learn Flying Thunder God jutsu, you need 2 things. You need to be a Fuinjutsu master. For that, you need to learn every Fuinjutsu seal from our Library and be able to make them with ease. In our village, there are less than 10 Fuinjutsu masters.
Secondly, you need to have a talent for Space-time ninjutsu. And that talent is very rare. I am only aware of 5 ninjas from Konoha who had talent in it."
Fujin thought for a second and asked, "If I become a Fuinjutsu master, can I be allowed to learn it then?"
Hiruzen chuckled and said, "Sure. But learning Fuinjutsu is difficult. I would suggest you not waste time on it right now."
Fujin nodded.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Hiruzen asked, "Do you have anything else you want to learn?"
Fujin nodded once again. Hiruzen was surprised, 'He even thought of something else to ask if his request was denied?'
Fujin said, "I heard that one of your students, the Toad Sage Jiraiya of the Sannins, can use Senjutsu. Can you teach me Senjutsu?"
Hiruzen was shocked once again! He wondered, 'Am I getting too old to teach the new generation? Where did he even learn about Senjutsu?'
Mieko and Hoka looked at Fujin with confused faces, 'What is Senjutsu?'
Hiruzen asked, "Where did you learn about Senjutsu?"
Fujin replied, "I read it on a scroll in the library."
Hiruzen looked at the 11 year old kid with disbelief, 'I promised to teach them one jutsu! He made me promise to teach him all the Wind Vacuum jutsus. And he even thanked me so quickly...'
Hiruzen sighed internally and decided, 'Leave it. I'll teach him and get him off my back for now. Though in the future, I need to ensure that I don't promise him any rewards.'
Unfortunately for Hiruzen, he had already promised Fujin something for the future. While he didn't think that future would ever arrive, Fujin had already sealed those words in his memory!
While Fujin didn't have enough chakra to use Shadow clones for training ninjutsu, especially when he was mastering rank B jutsus or supercharging jutsus, he had plenty to abuse while learning Fuinjutsu!
As soon as he mastered all fuinjutsu available, he would ask Hiruzen to aid him in learning Flying Thunder God. By then, he would even have built a good reputation in Konoha, so Hiruzen would be more likely to agree.
Hiruzen made a couple of shadow clones. Hoka and Mieko went with one each while his main body stayed behind with Fujin.
Hiruzen looked at Fujin and said, "Fujin, before I teach you, I need you to promise me something."
Fujin asked, "What Lord Hokage?"
Hiruzen replied, "The Wind Vacuum style is very dangerous. Never use these jutsus on a colleague or an ally. In the future, you would likely spar a lot with other ninjas from Konoha. Under no circumstances are you allowed to use Wind Vacuum style against them."
Fujin nodded and answered without hesitation, "I agree, Lord Hokage. I don't even use my sword while sparring."
Hiruzen nodded. It was the main reason why he agreed. He said, "Excellent. I will now first explain the theory of the Wind Vacuum style. Once you understand, we will begin learning it."
Fujin nodded and paid attention. Hiruzen's clones also began teaching Mieko and Hoka.
Mieko had the Sharingan, so she very quickly got the basics of the jutsu. But actually performing it was much tougher as it was an A rank jutsu! She couldn't form the ring of fire around her.
Hoka too got stuck in creating a Vacuum shell. Both would need some time to overcome those obstacles. However, once they did, they would advance rapidly.
Fujin too had a tough challenge to overcome!
