Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Fujin looked at his current clothes and decided, \'I also need to buy new clothes. The current ones now feel tighter. I\'ll probably need to keep buying new ones every year for the next few years. Speaking of clothes…\'

Fujin looked around at his house. He had been staying there for almost 7 years! He noticed quite a few cracks on the walls and even the ceiling. He thought, \'I probably need to change to a new house as well. Practicing Wall walking indoors did a number on the walls! Not to mention, it feels much smaller now. I wonder what the property prices are in this world.\'

Fujin decided to look into them later and fell asleep.

The next morning, Fujin went to the training ground and began training. He was using the training seal at 60% power! Soon Hoka followed by Mieko joined him as well.

At 6 AM, an old man knocked on the door of Hokage\'s office and entered.

Homura looked at Hiruzen and asked, "Why did you call me so early in the morning?"

Hiruzen looked at his friend and answered, "I will be training the 3 genins from today for a few days. I will leave the official work to you."

Homura\'s eyes twitched. He was annoyed and asked aggressively, "Why do I have to do the paperwork? I\'m too old for this."

Hiruzen smiled and answered, "You made a good contribution to the village by suggesting the idea to reward top performers in the academy. So this is your reward."

Homura stared at Hiruzen. Both entered a staredown! After a couple of minutes, Homura sighed. He had heard about a genin asking Hiruzen for a reward during the chunin exam. So he understood why Hiruzen was targeting him.

He replied, "Alright, but don\'t take too long." Hiruzen smiled and said, "They are just kids. I\'ll teach them one jutsu and be done in no time." Homura nodded.

Unfortunately for Homura, both he and Hiruzen overlooked one critical aspect! So he\'d be stuck doing paperwork for a much longer time than he bargained for.

Hiruzen explained some details to his friend before leaving. He wasn\'t much worried as Homura, Kohaku and even Danzo had taken over his paperwork job at times, especially during wars. So they all knew how to handle it properly.

At 7, Hiruzen arrived at the training ground and saw the 3 chunins training hard. He smiled and muttered, "They will have a good future if they maintain this dedication."

Seeing the Hokage, the kids stopped training and flickered in front of him and wished him good morning.

Hiruzen wished them back and praised them for working hard. He asked, "So, did you think about which jutsu you want to learn from me?"

Fujin\'s eyes sparkled! He was exhilarated and thought, \'We get to choose? Marvelous!\'

Mieko replied, "I don\'t want to learn any jutsu. The Uchiha library has every jutsu."

Hoka too shook his head and replied, "I also don\'t want to learn any jutsu. I want to practice Taijutsu to master the 32 palms technique."

Fujin looked at his teammates with a deadpan expression.

Hiruzen laughed. He looked at Mieko and said, "Watch this."

Hiruzen flickered around 50 meters away and made a few hand signs and said, "Fire Release : Hellfire clap jutsu!"

Fujin spread his chakra field and observed carefully. Mieko and Hoka had activated Sharingan and Byakugan respectively.

They noticed a ring of fire forming around Hiruzen. Immediately, the fire spread out in all directions! In less than a second, the fire expanded into a 40 meters radius area around Hiruzen.

There were 3 boulders in this area. All were hewn in two! Wherever the fire passed through, nothing was left on the ground. Even the soil turned black.

Although the fire was 10 meters from them, all 3 chunins felt the crazy heat! In 5 seconds, both Fujin and Hoka flickered backwards. After another 5 seconds, Mieko also flickered back.

Fujin looked at it and exclaimed, "What crazy heat!" They were still sweating.

Hoka nodded, "If I were to be hit by it, perhaps even my bones would be left."

Mieko was too stunned to say anything. The Uchiha clan prided themselves on their Fire jutsus. She had seen how strong her parents and elders were. But she had never felt fire as hot as this!

Hiruzen smiled on seeing their stunned faces. He dispersed the jutsu and flickered towards them. He said, "As you heard, this jutsu is called Fire Release : Hellfire Clap jutsu. It is both defensive and offensive in nature. It was created by me during my younger years."

He looked at Mieko and asked, "Would you like to learn this jutsu?" Mieko obediently nodded.

Hiruzen smiled and looked at Hoka. He said, "I know you don\'t like Ninjutsu. So I will teach you something that will aid your Taijutsu. Look carefully, this is a secret technique of your clan."

Chakra began pouring from the Chakra points in Hiruzen\'s right hand. He pulled his arm back and pushed it forward at great speed. While his arm was moving, a \'vacuum shell\' formed in his hand. When he pushed his arm to the max, the shell was fired towards a boulder.

The shell hit the boulder in the blink of an eye and created a hole through the entire boulder. It kept going and created a hole in 5 trees behind the boulder!

The genins were surprised once again! Hoka had seen this technique before. But he was told that he won\'t be taught it until he becomes a Jounin. However, the jutsu that he saw his elders perform was nowhere near as lethal as what Hiruzen did. At most, it created strong winds causing a few leaves to fall off a tree.

Hiruzen said, "This jutsu is Eight Trigrams : Air Palm. It was invented by the Hyuga clan to create a mid range fighting capability. It too can be used both offensively and defensively."

Fujin gulped his saliva, \'I recall reading that Hiruzen could perform every jutsu in Konoha, including the secret techniques! However, that doesn\'t do Hiruzen justice. It\'d be more appropriate to say that Hiruzen can perform all jutsu in Konoha better than anyone else in Konoha!\'

Hiruzen asked, "Do you want to learn this Hoka?" Hoka immediately nodded.

Hiruzen finally looked at Fujin and asked, "Fujin, did you think about any jutsu that you want to learn from me?"

Fujin was still surprised by Hiruzen\'s display. He gathered himself and nodded, "Yes Lord Hokage."

Hiruzen was slightly surprised. But soon he thought, \'This kid always knows what he wants. So it isn\'t surprising that he thought of something. I wonder what jutsu he wants to learn.\'

Hiruzen asked, "Which jutsu is it Fujin?"

Fujin said with a serious face, "Lord Hokage, I want to learn the Flying Thunder God jutsu that the 2nd and 4th Hokage used."

Hiruzen, who was happy about how shocked the kids were at his abilities, was now shocked himself! Even Fujin could easily notice how shocked and speechless he was!

Mieko and Hoka were shocked as well! They too looked at Fujin with stunned expressions.

Fujin however maintained his straight face and kept looking into Hiruzen\'s eyes with a hopeful expression!
