Chapter 847 : Personalities!
🕑 Added 2025-01-10 19:40:44 +0000 UTCFujin's words caught Hiruzen and his students by surprise. Unlike Hiruzen, who expected Fujin to extort something in exchange for this favor, Jiraiya and Tsunade weren't familiar with this side of Fujin.
They didn't expect anyone from the younger generation to reject a request made by Hiruzen. While the two of them did the same several times, it was different as they only did so after following Hiruzen obediently for decades. Not to mention, it wasn't the request of only Hiruzen. It was the combined request of Hiruzen, the former Hokage, Tsunade, the new Hokage and Jiraiya, the Toad Sage.
Yet, Fujin not only rejected their request without a second's hesitation, but also made fun of it by asking whether he should take the entire Uchiha clan under his wing. Jiraiya and Tsunade didn't know how to respond to Fujin since they couldn't exactly force Fujin to accept it.
Hiruzen was unsure how to respond, when he suddenly had an absurd thought. He wondered, ‘Is Fujin serious? Or, has his technique of making me pay improved to such an extent that he wants me to offer him top tier jutsus or something invaluable to convince him to guide Sasuke?’
Hiruzen wasn't sure what was the case, though his instincts warned him to guard against the second possibility. With Fujin's current strength, there wasn't much he could offer Fujin. And, everything that he could, he didn't want to so early.
Fortunately or unfortunately, his hunch was incorrect. While the three of them were lost in thoughts, Fujin thought, ‘Teaching Sasuke… I had thought about this extensively after I quit the Anbu. Not just him, but Sakura as well. After all, Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra. His strength will be on par with Naruto. Even though Sakura won't reach their level, she will become a splendid rank S ninja.
As such, ensuring these two owed me and looked up to me should have had nothing but advantages. Unfortunately…’
There was a major difference between Naruto and his two teammates. A difference that made Fujin against guiding the two of them. It was nothing else but loyalty!
Fujin continued thinking, ‘Naruto may be foolish compared to other kids his age, but he is rock-solid in his principles. He is loyal to the ones who did him a favor, no matter how small it is. Any investment I made on him will have multibagger returns.
The same isn't true for Sasuke and Sakura. Sasuke betrayed his village, his Sensei, the comrades he trained with, and went to Orochimaru, a man who killed Hiruzen, the Third Hokage. He didn't know he'd become strong enough to do what he eventually did and yet he did so despite the risk of Orochimaru gaining the strength to destroy Konoha and killing everyone who helped him.
Eventually, he killed Orochimaru, the person who trained him. Though it was called for, it's another red flag. After Obito manipulated him, he was also willing to kill Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi, the three people who were closest to him. Eventually, when Itachi manipulated Sasuke again, he turned around and fought against Obito, the very person who implanted Itachi's eyes on him and helped him gain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
So, even if I train him, he wouldn't hesitate for a second to turn on me. Why should I bother to waste my efforts on him? There is no practical advantage for me.
While I can manipulate him, the problem is that it is too easy to manipulate Sasuke. Someone else can easily manipulate him again and make him turn on me. This is something I don't need to worry about with Naruto.
Sakura, even though not as extreme as Sasuke, is still the same. Her love of Sasuke triumphs over all her other loyalties. In the original story, she was willing to leave Konoha and follow him to Orochimaru despite everything he had done.’
Since Fujin wasn't sure he'd have their loyalty, he didn't want to waste his efforts and, more importantly, his priceless time on Sakura and Sasuke.
Of course, he was aware that he was more than a bit hypocritical. After all, he wasn't particularly loyal to Konoha. Despite possessing a technique as deadly as Flying Thunder God, he didn't use it during the deadly assault and only decided to use it when he was given a scare by ‘fate’.
However, Fujin didn't care how hypocritical he was. All he cared about was ensuring his own benefits, something he couldn't guarantee with Sasuke and Sakura.
Fujin thought, ‘Besides, this was my analysis 2 years ago, when I had just quit the Anbu. A lot has changed since then. Back then, I was barely a rank S ninja. If I had ran into someone like Ay or Onoki, escaping would have been extremely difficult. Without any gifts or special bloodline, I wasn't sure how strong I would become.
However, today I can stand against the best of the ninjas. With my Wind Domain, I have the capability to confront the likes of Onoki and Ay. It also heavily restricts someone as troublesome as Obito. Thanks to Danzo, my Vacuum jutsus are in a whole different league as well. In these 2 years, I have grown tremendously in every aspect!
So, I already have the ability to stand tall during the Fourth Great Ninja War. In a year or two, I'll make Ryu teach me Senjutsu and my Wind Domain's weakness against the Rinnegan will be dealt with as well.
And, all this is without considering Flying Thunder God jutsu. Once I start using it openly, only reanimated Madara can stop me, apart from the ones having access to Sage of Six Paths’ powers. However, once my Myriad Tetragram Seal starts showing its effect, I may gain the power to even confront them, though winning would likely be impossible unless I gain similar powers.
Regardless, I no longer have any reason to gain Sasuke's or Sakura's favor, even if their personalities were different. Having Naruto owe me is more than sufficient. Right now, I have to devote all my energy to increasing my strength rapidly. Everything else is secondary!’
With all four engrossed in their thoughts, the office became silent. Tsunade and Jiraiya expected Fujin to say something, but he didn't. Hiruzen became even more sure that this was Fujin's new strategy. Left with no choice, he sighed and muttered, “Just tell what you want, Fujin. I'm too tired to bargain with you…”
His words left Tsunade and Jiraiya speechless. Both exchanged eye glances, as if asking each other, ‘What sort of relationship do these two have?’
Unlike them, Fujin was amused. He thought, ‘Interesting. I never thought of using this tactic to force Hiruzen to cough up some forbidden jutsus. A shame I didn't think of it earlier. Right now, it's more or less useless for me.’
To Hiruzen's surprise, Fujin sighed and replied, “You're forgetting that I'm only a few years older than Sasuke. Unlike you three, my powers haven't peaked yet nor have I learnt everything I want to learn. I need to devote all my energy to learning them. I truly have no time to accept a new student.”
Jiraiya's eyes twitched as he thought, ‘You forced Orochimaru to retreat twice, burned his entire country, killed an Akatsuki member while facing four… Are you still not satisfied with your strength?’
While Hiruzen and Tsunade were aware of how much Fujin trained earlier, neither expected Fujin to continue such a training schedule given what he accomplished in the last two months. Everyone who reached such a stage decreased their training time considerably and instead accepted more responsibilities or worked on increasing their influence. As such, they didn't even consider this point while discussing earlier.
Before any of them could say anything, Fujin added, “Even if I did, I'm not sure what you expect me to teach Sasuke. I don't specialize in Lightning, nor do I have any experience in using the Sharingan. I don't see how I could do any better job than Kakashi in guiding him. If he just wants to change his Sensei, I'd recommend one of you to guide him. Any of you would be better than me.”
Naturally, they couldn't argue with Fujin on this as this was a reservation they shared. They just never expected Fujin to own up to it instead of seeing it as a challenge. Hiruzen sighed internally, ‘I didn't expect this… He's serious. It's impossible to convince him…’
Seeing that none of them had anything to say, Fujin asked, “Anything else, Grandpa?”
Hiruzen shook his head, “No, that's all we wanted to talk about.”
Fujin smiled and said, “Alright, I had some things to discuss with you, or rather you and Lady Tsunade.”
He turned his gaze to Tsunade and politely said, “I want your help to increase my cellular activity and by extension, my chakra reserves. Grandpa had said you were the only one who could help me do it. Now that he's healed, can you help me with that, assuming you aren't too busy of course?”
Hiruzen's eyes twitched while Jiraiya and Tsunade stared at Fujin strangely. Not only had Fujin declined their request, but he shamelessly asked for their help without any hesitation or embarrassment in his voice!

Yes but Danzo said that the stack core technique was something he came up to replace the thing that he said was impossible(extremely hard to impossible) to do since it gives similar results.
Diametric
I don't remember the specific chapter, but I can tell you what happened. Danzo had given Fujin advice on how to do the technique, I think it was by putting several vacuum cores inside one big vacuum core, which expands after launching. And then Fujin improved the technique in a few ways, including by making the interior vacuum cores thinner, like strings all tangled together, rather than balls. Does that sound familiar to you?

I think with Tsunade and Jiraiya knowing of the Uchiha massacre we might see a more proactive Danzo, especially if he smells something wrong with the elders getting dismissed from their positions, maybe he even kidnaps Sasuke and starts training him together with Orochimaru.
Tathagata Das
Indian Standard Time probably
Szymuś
In which timezone is hex?
Tathagata Das
Probably because you see that a chapter has been uploaded on Saturday but it is uploaded just after the end of Friday i.e. it is actually Friday's chapter

Any update?
Yamir
Nice but I was asking diametric the chapter when fujin use the technique 💀😅🫥
Devil Hex
Still writing. Might take another hour
Yamir
🤔Chapter?
Diametric
Didn't Fujin already get that technique, too?
Will Manrod
I don’t think that’s going to happen cause why would they even want to send him to kumo? They have killed more of their ninjas lately than they would have in a war so I don’t think they want to send him there plus there’a no way itachi would send him there. I just don’t see how it could be done with their current relationship and without it feeling forced
Devil Hex
3h
Devil Hex
Yeah. Sorry, didn't see the phone. Still writing 😅

Man i keep thinking his breaks are on Sundays idk why.

It's time to get a new little brother. Jk! 🤣
Tathagata Das
I didn't get the joke, could you please explain?
Tathagata Das
I agree completely yet it will also be interesting if the author does not do so and consequently change Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura's characters quite a bit, as Naruto is 12-13 years now and his teammates also of similar age, thus it will be a quite a time for their mindset to advance. But it is so very difficult to know each characters' changes..
Raghav S
One day you will get the motivation of 1000000 writes and give me a 50 chapter mass release that I can binge read in 20 minutes

Today my little brother told me his favorite Naruto character is Danzo 😱
T5p6
With Fujin declining the offer to train Sasuke,and therefore also with shidan and akuro,the only people who can train him are Raikage and bee. I guess there will be a modified Sasuke retrieval arc,with the sannins and the 3rd hokage make sure sasuke get to kumo safely from the shadows. Itachi wouldn’t care because he have shisui eye to make saskue loyal again to the leaf
Aldar
I wasn't here for a whole month - I was saving chapters) I forgot a bit.
Aldar
Eh, as much as I would like to see Sasuke training in Konoha, I don't see a future in it.. As for me, given the current circumstances, I would, with the help of Danzo, help Orochimaru "rescue" Sasuke from Konoha, for some big favor. The relationship between Naruto and Sasuke was the best part of the story and it was based on rescuing a friend from darkness to light, and we won't see that if he's in a greenhouse. And the very nature of the characters will change dramatically from this, perhaps for the worse for us. In any case, I'm very interested in what you'll choose and how you'll present it, Devil :)
Yamir
Hex isn't a machine so he rest on Saturdays.
Yamir
There is still the way to make bigger the vacuum core when launched. Danzo said that is extremely hard(impossible) but fujin can get his progress by reading his memory soul.
Aldar
should we expect a chapter today? And then there is silence in the hall :)
Devil Hex
He has Vacuum Blade and Vacuum Slash. He's better at it than Danzo.
Yamir
I can't wait to fujin to obliterate danzo so he can get all the techniques and secrets. Fujin still hasn't figured out the Wind Sword that Danzo uses 🤔🤔🤔.
Tathagata Das
🥺🥺yes Lord please
Jack Nathaniel Mikhail
Many thanks for the chapter DH sama 🥳 Now I just need a 100 or 1000 more chapters 🙂↕️
Slade
it's been a while since I did a re-read. might do that tomorrow
Slade
fujins originally Nigerian, The leaf is Russian

Now that I think about it, that Kekkei Genkai could be perfect for harem fics 💀
Dracule Newgate
If Fujins figures out Ranmaru's weird kekkei genkai, he could make any body extremely loyal to him.
Kwabena Kumi
Interesting take cuz I don't watch boruto and won't anytime soon but what Ive noticed is a lot of times in anime, manga or light novels sibling tend to have a weird situation never understood that tho...guess it a content filler don't know...cringe readers is a stretch tho don't know nothing bout that
Devil Hex
Good luck 🙏🤣
Devil Hex

Slade
Naruto's daughter is also weird and cringe but she makes all the creepy readers happy tho.
Antonio Fazio
Didn't Danzo went against him with a trap? And He didn't guide him by his good will. That was a trap by hiruzen
Nyd. Studio
Fujin being hypocritical again. Didn't Danzo guide him in vacuum jutsus? I'm pretty sure he would kill Danzo given the opportunity. He shouldn't talk bad about sasuke lmao
Kwabena Kumi
U right...like whole family is useless u got a kid that needs glasses??...bro ...I don't care if she gets mangekyo later that's embarrassing...now naruto family is dope..u got boruto with his own version of rasengan an and the daughter(forgot name)...with the byakugan and taijutsu...and she don't need glasses
Dracule Newgate
I know, right. Sakura sucks so much that she gave birth to a daughter that needs glasses even though she has the Sharingan. Just for that Sasuke should fall for someone else in this fic. Wait, did Sasuke even fall for Sakura or did he get with her out of pity?
Kwabena Kumi
No the hatred for sakura is so strong there's no comparison...and it's made clear here...her allegiance is only to sasuke...no matter how bad he gets....her motivation for getting stronger was always for the benefit of helping sasuke as well...without him she's nobody..and she's useless to everyone else...if she died early that'll not even affect sasuke like that on his quest for revenge but his rivalry with naruto he will care bout cuz after their fight he didn't kill naruto...but sakura...she's dead
Qweku_v
Thanks for the chapter
Kwabena Kumi
Thanks for the chapter...and it makes perfect sense for him to deny sasuke and sakura and not naruto...this makes a lot of sense considering the circumstances..if sasuke can have mental fortitude and not be easily manipulated maybe but right now...if sasuke gets very strong...he'll be used by orochimaru again or someone else to get to fujin
Yamir
Shit I never expected that!!!!! 💀💀💀💀

If I win the lottery I'll buy it just so you spend the next month living on caffeine 🤪
KAZUHA02
Yeah, Tsunade is quiting lol
Devil Hex
The entire universe speak the same language, lol. Similar story in all (or nearly all) other anime and even the cultivation novels.
Dracule Newgate
The Otsuki also speak the language of earthlings somehow, right?
Devil Hex
He received all the memories of the real Fujin. So, he's speaking their language. Up to you to decide which language is that. I didn't particularly much about it when starting the story 😅
Devil Hex
I don't have additional chapters built up 🥲 I just added that tier for fun 😅🤣
Dracule Newgate
I have a question. Did Fujin learn Japanese or has everyone been speaking English this whole time? The reason I'm asking is because the idea of Fujin creating a new persona that only speaks English or whatever language he spoke before getting transmigrated and confusing everyone has been cracking me up all day 🤣
Aetherist
Thanks for the chapter.
Devine Satanus
He learned from the best. **cough** hiruzen **cough**

One day someone will buy the $10000 tier and you will mass release 🙏
