Chapter 525: Chapter 519 : Learning from the Master!
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Fujin's face. His expression and words displayed that he had full confidence and trust in Hiruzen. While Hiruzen's clone thought of a few arguments, seeing Fujin's expression, he understood that no matter how he argued, he would eventually have to agree to train Fujin.
He sighed internally accepting his fate of performing another thankless task!
The reason why Hiruzen's clone relented so easily is that he understood that Fujin had a point. One ninja had limited time and energy. Mastering several elements to the extreme was an impossible task. Hiruzen, despite having trained for over 6 decades, wouldn't claim to be the best in every element.
He specialized more in Fire and Earth Release as compared to the other three elements. Even if a ninja learnt how to use all 5 elements, they would still gravitate towards one or two elements that they would master to the limit.
One good example of this was Kakashi. Kakashi was one of the few ninjas who could use all 5 elements. However, he specialized only in Lightning. In addition, he was very good at Water and Earth as well even though they weren't at the same level as his Lightning. But he only used 2 or 3 jutsus while using the Fire element and barely ever used any Wind jutsus.
In Hiruzen's eyes, Fujin's decision to rely on him to directly increase his Fire and Earth mastery to a high level was a smart decision. The only issue was that Fujin was asking him to put in the hard work! Had he bothered someone else, Hiruzen would have been as supportive as he could be!
Hiruzen's clone asked, "What can you do currently with Fire and Earth?"
Fujin answered, "For fire, my main attacking jutsu is the Searing Migraine jutsu which I use along with the Infinite Breakthrough jutsu to create a combination jutsu. I haven't used any other jutsu for a while even though I know Great Fireball, Fire Release: Five, Fireproof, and Fire Dragon Flame Bullet jutsus as well.
For Earth, my main focus is on defense and evasion. The jutsus I generally use are Earth Wall, Iron Skin, and Earth Instantaneous Body jutsus. In addition, I also know Rampart of Flowing Soil jutsu and can create camps."
Hiruzen's clone thought, 'Hmm, not bad. These jutsus complement Wind Release extremely well. It also gives him a good base to start with.'
He asked, "I know you didn't plan it, but do you have any specific ideas in mind or should I teach you what I think will be appropriate for you?"
Fujin thought for a bit and replied, "I haven't thought of anything particular in Fire. So I'll depend on you. As for Earth, I haven't thought of much either. The only thing that intrigued me was Tsuchikage's ability to fly by controlling or changing weights. If I can learn that, then it'll be very helpful."
The ability to fly at will was something Fujin wanted for a long time. While he could use Assassin's Rush jutsu to stay in the air for some time, it exhausted his chakra at a terrifying speed! If he could fly like Onoki, then very few ninjas would be able to resist his Wind or Fire-Wind combination jutsus.
As a result, Katsuhiro was on his own. Of course, he still believed himself to be a better option than Fujin and completed the proposal and reached Fujin's office. He entered the office and saw Yasushi and Haruma, who immediately recalled the bad memories related to him.
However, this time Katsuhiro restrained himself. Fujin's status in the past couple of months had undergone a massive change. While he still desired Fujin's seat, he no longer dared to openly offend him. He handed a few files and said, "This is the proposal. Hand it to Fujin and ask him to contact me as soon as he can."
Yasushi accepted the files and said, "We will get it to him as soon as we can, Katsuhiro-sama."
Katsuhiro nodded and left. Once he had gone a long distance away, Haruma chuckled and said, "He is no longer arrogant while talking to us. Last time he pressured us so much!"
Yasushi chuckled as well and said, "Of course. Fujin is a Grandmaster at Fuinjutsu and is probably a rank S ninja as well. I still recall his clones scouting through the village. Even though Katsuhiro is strong, he will no longer dare to show any hostility towards Fujin."
Haruma nodded and added, "Not to mention, he is already old, while Fujin is still in his teens. He will continue growing stronger. Anyway..."
A grin formed on his face as he asked, "How long do you think Fujin will make Katsuhiro wait this time?"
Yasushi glanced at Haruma. The two immediately broke into laughter. Ever since Fujin sent a Shadow Clone to meet Katsuhiro after making him wait for over a month and a half, it had become something that Yasushi and Haruma joked about frequently. If it wasn't for the fact that they were still a bit fearful of him, the two would have spread the news of their meeting all over the village!
