Chapter 578: Who is Fujin?
Kakashi got down from the tree while saying, "Suzuki Fujin He is one of the few Elite Jounins in Konoha, the same rank as me. He isn't particularly famous as most of the missions he did were undercover missions. However, there is no doubt that he is one of the strongest ninjas in the world.
Sakura, you in particular need to know about him as he is the one who represents the civilian ninjas in Konoha's Council. If you face any political issues, then he is the one you need to approach."
Sakura and Sasuke were surprised. Sakura's inner self screamed, 'What the hell is going on? First, we learn how impressive the old Hokage is. Then Zabuza said how cool Kakashi-sensei is. And now even the person Naruto always keeps talking about is so strong? Why is everyone so impressive?'
Even Naruto was surprised. He thought, 'Man, I thought that his title was cool. But I didn't know that he was one of the strongest ninjas in the world!'
Kakashi chuckled on seeing their reactions and asked, "You guys know that Zabuza is one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, right?"
All three nodded. Kakashi continued, "While there is no question about his strength, Zabuza could become a Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist only when he was given the Kubikiribocho blade. And, the only reason why he could get that blade was because Fujin killed the previous wielder of Kubikiribocho, who was as strong as Zabuza."
The three Genins were stunned once again. For a moment, Naruto didn't control his chakra properly and lost his footing. Luckily, he flipped in the air and landed on his feet. He looked at Kakashi and exclaimed, "No way! Big brother Fujin killed someone who was as strong as Zabuza!"
Meanwhile, Sasuke clenched his fists and thought, 'So Naruto has been getting the help of someone that strong? No wonder his strength has increased so rapidly. I need to get stronger faster as well.'
Kakashi noticed Sasuke's emotions and thought, 'Good. This should motivate him to work harder.'
Kakashi looked at Naruto and said, "He did. But that is a secret that very few in Konoha know. So, never speak about it."
The three Genins nodded. Kakashi said, "Anyway, that's enough chit-chat. Sasuke and Sakura, try climbing the tree. Naruto, come here."
Sakura and Sasuke immediately began trying while Naruto walked over to Kakashi. Kakashi said, "Since you have already learnt this, I'll teach you another trick. It's a more advanced application of chakra control. Instead of climbing on trees, you'll walk on water."
Naruto immediately replied, "I know that exercise too, sensei! I can walk and run on water with ease."
Kakashi wasn't very surprised. Since Fujin had taught him one exercise, it wasn't far-fetched for him to have taught the other one as well. The only reason why Kakashi was surprised at all was that Naruto's chakra control despite knowing these two exercises was lacking.
Kakashi sighed internally while thinking, 'Fujin He keeps making my job more difficult. What do I teach Naruto now?'
As he thought of Fujin, Kakashi couldn't help but think about his meeting with Fujin.
A few weeks ago, Fujin had just gone through his morning workout and was about to return to his house when he suddenly stopped and said, "Kakashi What a pleasant surprise."
A couple of trees away from Fujin, Kakashi was reading his book with his back resting against a tree. Hearing Fujin's voice, he closed his book while saying, "Your senses are sharp as always."
Fujin nodded and informed Kakashi about the same. Kakashi had already figured out most of it. The only thing that surprised him was the fact that he had made Naruto complete the Leaf Cutting exercise.
Kakashi replied, "I see. So he already has the basics down. That should make my work easier. Anyway, I'll see you around. I have to continue the training of my 'cute' students."
Fujin chuckled and said, "Enjoy."
Kakashi's figure disappeared from the training ground. A smirk appeared on Fujin's face as he thought, 'I didn't expect him to connect the dots so quickly. His instincts are quite good. Oh well, Naruto should get used to that training routine in a month or two. I'll manipulate him to create more trouble for Kakashi then. For now, he can continue teaching those 5 how to prank.'
Kakashi, who was moving towards his team, sighed and thought, 'Such a troublesome fellow. Even though he didn't show any peculiarities, I got a feeling that he wanted to see me in trouble. Did the Third put him up to this? Or is he still fond of causing trouble like he was when he asked the Third for chakra metal swords'
Even though it had been some time since Kakashi met Fujin, he still wasn't sure of the answer nor could he find Fujin's motives.
"Well, Sensei? Can you teach me some cool jutsus like Sasuke's Fireball?" Naruto grew impatient as Kakashi didn't say anything for a few seconds.
Kakashi was about to answer when they heard, "This is easier than I thought!"
The voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke all saw Sakura sitting on the branch of a tree. Sasuke frowned as it meant that he was the only one who couldn't do so. Meanwhile, Naruto thought, 'So quickly? I needed more than a week to do it properly!'
Even so, Naruto cheered for her while Kakashi praised her chakra control while teasing, "It looks like there is just one of you who can't do this exercise then."
Sasuke's frown intensified but he didn't say anything and continued training. Kakashi asked Sakura to keep training as well and said, "Naruto, follow me."
