Chapter 579: Great Breakthrough jutsu
Kakashi and Naruto moved around a hundred meters deeper into the woods before Kakashi stopped moving. Naruto asked curiously, "What are we doing here, Kakashi-sensei?"
Kakashi said, "I'll be teaching you a special jutsu."
Naruto immediately became excited and exclaimed while jumping in joy, "Really? Yahoo!!! Which special jutsu will you teach me, sensei?"
Kakashi sighed at Naruto's antics and said, "Calm down, Naruto. Before I teach you, run your chakra through this piece of paper."
Kakashi handed Naruto a chakra paper. Naruto was confused but followed his instructions. As soon as his chakra flowed through the paper, the paper split into two, surprising Naruto. Kakashi thought, 'It looks like Fujin's decision wasn't entirely random.'
Naruto asked in surprise, "How did that happen?"
Kakashi explained, "This is the chakra paper. It is used to find out your nature affinity."
Naruto asked in a confused tone, "Nature affinity? What's that?"
Kakashi slowly explained to Naruto the basics of nature manipulation and how chakra paper reacts to each affinity. It took a few tries and a huge portion of Kakashi's patience, but Naruto finally understood.
He said, "So my affinity is Wind Manipulation. That's why the paper split. Does that mean the paper will begin burning if Sasuke tries it?"
Kakashi answered, "Not necessarily."
Naruto became confused once again and asked, "What do you mean? Doesn't he have an affinity for Fire Manipulation?"
Kakashi said, "You don't need to have an affinity to be able to perform the jutsus of that particular nature. Even though you have an affinity for Wind Manipulation, you can learn jutsus of other natures as well. It's just that you'll have a harder time doing so.
The Chakra paper only shows your strongest affinity. For you, it is Wind. For Sasuke, it might not be Fire."
Kakashi thought, 'From his chakra, I have a feeling that Sasuke is the same type as me. Even though he didn't say so, I guess Fujin had the same feeling with Naruto, which is probably why he decided to teach Naruto Wind jutsus.'
Naruto spoke with a confused expression, "I don't understand. But whatever. Can you teach me the jutsu now, sensei?"
Not waiting for anyone's response, Fujin disappeared from the room, leaving the two old men alone. With a few flickers, Fujin arrived at his house and muttered to himself, 'Creating a mission report for a negotiation mission is a pain in the ass. It takes several days to complete even with the help of the diplomats. Though I can have my clones work on it, why should I waste them on such a pointless task when there is someone more experienced to take care of it?'
Back in the office, both Hiruzen and Homura were left speechless. Given their experience, both could see the lack of sincerity in Fujin's gratitude. He had just dumped the work on Homura and escaped. As someone who had gotten used to dumping his work on others, Homura felt that he had returned half a century into the past!
Hiruzen was the one to gather his thoughts first. He said with a smile on his face, "In that case, I'll be waiting for your report, old friend."
Homura immediately cursed, "Old friend my ass! Why didn't you tell me that this boy is such a lunatic? He is even worse than Danzo! Danzo would have ensured that Kusagakure was surrounded by a thousand Root ninjas before even thinking about making such a threat!
Instead, I nearly suffered a heart attack due to this boy! What would have happened if they didn't stay calm and attacked us instead? Do you think these old bones could have endured such an attack?"
Hiruzen knew that there was no point in debating with Homura as there wasn't any way he'd win. He instead chuckled and said, "But everything worked out well, didn't it? I have to admit that even I underestimated how much he is feared though. When he was active in the Anbu, all the minor villages were terrified of him. I didn't imagine that that terror would still exist to such a degree."
Hearing Hiruzen's words made Homura think about the reactions of the Kusagakure leaders. He said, "I didn't know that his reputation was so fearsome back when he was active either. You should have seen their reaction when Fujin mentioned their third choice. Even Hiroshi's eyes showed fear. It was as if he was certain that he would die if a battle broke out.
Which missions was Fujin exactly a part of when he was in the Anbu? And how many of the rumors regarding him are true?"
Hiruzen replied, "Most of his missions were assassination and elimination missions. With how efficient he was, he gained a reputation very quickly. That said, there is no record of his mission reports. We burned it a long time ago. It'll create a lot of diplomatic issues if they ever come out. As for the rumors, there is not much point in paying attention to them. They are exaggerated as always."
