Chapter 887 : Fujin's Annoyance!
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 13:42:13 +0000 UTC“Good to see you as well, Grandpa.”
As soon as Hiruzen heard ‘Grandpa’, he instinctively raised his guard. Though Fujin was still very young, he was no longer an innocent academy student whose nature Hiruzen was ignorant about. On the contrary, Hiruzen had been burned way too many times right after Fujin called him ‘Grandpa’.
Before Fujin could request something absurd, Hiruzen struck first and said, “When you explained passionately about why you need to journey outside, I didn't expect to keep seeing you this often, Fujin. But, I can't really blame Tsunade. Why did you provoke Iwa? Onoki may have a high restraint, but if we push him too much, he'll retaliate stronger than any other great village.”
Fujin raised an eyebrow and replied, “Come on now, Grandpa. Don't believe the words of our enemies so easily. You know me very well. What would I gain by creating such a mess there?”
A deadpan expression appeared on Hiruzen's face as he thought, ‘Hundreds of elemental crystals and several jutsus… Who else in this world can display such greed openly? Besides, why does he even need more elemental crystals? They should have become more or less ineffective on him by now. Does he eat those stones? Or has he become addicted to hoarding them?’
Knowing Fujin, Hiruzen strongly suspected the latter. Before he could say anything, Fujin said, “Anyway, Lady Tsunade and Shikaku-san should handle that issue. Let's talk about the good news.”
Fujin smiled, looking at the destruction left behind by Hiruzen's deadly jutsu. Hiruzen sighed internally, ‘There he goes, changing the subject again. Oh well, knowing him, he must have covered his tracks perfectly. Without any solid proof, Onoki won't start a war. Though it'll worsen our relationship with Iwa, it wasn't particularly good in the first place.
Besides, there are a few advantage for us. His move would also force Iwa to devote significant resources to improving their morale and eliminating the rumors and doubts, indirectly slowing the rate at which they create more elite ninjas. And, Onoki will be forced to retaliate in the dark, which will become the perfect training ground for the new Anbu recruits.’
Hiruzen smiled and said, “My chakra control has almost returned to my previous levels after another healing session with Tsunade. Unfortunately, I can't return to my peak unless my soul is completely healed. Worse, my chakra reserves are still just a third of what they were. I doubt that'll increase anymore…”
Hiruzen sighed. The cost of slashing his soul was too heavy. Despite his skill, he no longer possessed the strength to safeguard Konoha like he did for nearly half a century.
Fujin said in a comforting tone, “It's fine. Just you being alive after using that forbidden technique is enough. Take it easy and let the next generation handle the responsibility of protecting the village.”
Hiruzen's heart was relieved to hear Fujin's words. However, before he could rest easy, he felt a sudden unease. His eyes moved towards Fujin, as Fujin asked, “When will you teach me how to merge Yang and Fire perfectly? I'll burn our enemies to the ground just like you did in the past!”
Hiruzen sighed internally, ‘I should have known! Why are you beating around the bush? Just ask what you truly want…’
He replied, “Your Yin and Yang manipulation is still not good enough. If I teach you now, you may have some limited success, but you'll need to retrain again later to truly master it. Since Fire isn't your main nature, you shouldn't waste time unnecessary. How has your Wind Release progressed?”
Fujin sighed, “It's still at a bottleneck. I haven't managed to improve it much since the war. Merging Yin and Yang into it is also extremely difficult… I had no success so far with it…”
Fujin's words weren't entirely true. When he absorbed Shukaku's chakra and made it a part of himself, his afffinity to Wind Manipulation had increased along with his Earth affinity. As such, he had an even easier time using and controlling Wind jutsus. In addition, the massive increase in his chakra reserves along with the availability of artificial chakra lake made using Wind Domain far easier.
However, his improvements stopped at that point. Fujin's attempts to create Vacuum jutsus inside the Wind Domain had failed so far. His experiments with merging Yin & Yang chakra with his Wind chakra also failed to yield much results, despite his success in merging Yin chakra with Lightning chakra.
The reason was rather simple. Fujin had no references for merging Wind chakra with Yin & Yang chakra. The only reason why he succeeded with Lightning was the detailed explanation and demonstration provided by Sakumo. But with Wind, he was all on his own.
Seeing Fujin's troubles, Hiruzen chuckled, “As I said, you shouldn't be so hasty. Your strength is already far beyond what mine was at your age. Yin & Yang manipulation is far more difficult to master than any nature manipulation. Not to mention, you have spent far less time on it than your remaining nature manipulation. Just give it 2 to 3 years and everything will work out perfectly.”
His eyes moved back to his black flames as he continued, “Once you do, the power of your Wind Domain will increase exponentially.”
Fujin sighed, “Alright, I'll keep training. Anyway, did you have a breakthrough with the Edo Tensei jutsu?”
Hiruzen thought, ‘Finally he asks this…’
He shook his head and answered, “Unfortunately no. Modifying it is as difficult as I imagined. It'll take a long time.”
Fujin sighed, “That's a shame…”
He paused for a bit, before continuing, “Let me help you with the research…”
However, Hiruzen immediately shook his head, “Fujin, you don't specialize in this area. It'll be pointless and you'll waste your time needlessly. Continue your training and improve yourself further. This is the best time for you to rapidly increase your strength. Let me handle this one last matter.”
Fujin frowned and thought, ‘It's been slightly over a year since I left. During this time, I was called back to the village four times, with this being the fifth time. Every single time, I asked for the Edo Tensei jutsu, but Hiruzen has adamantly refused me every single time.’
He immediately said, “It'll be fine, Grandpa. I need to expand my horizons and helping you research this might just give me the inspiration I require. If it becomes a deadend, I'll stop working on it and focus back on my training.”
Unfortunately, his words didn't move Hiruzen, who replied with full seriousness, “Fujin, forbidden techniques aren't like the usual Ninjutsu. Especially a jutsu like the Edo Tensei. Once you look into it, you'll be drawn towards it and it'll impact your all-round development. Trust me when I say it, this is for your own good.
Don't get too caught up in forbidden techniques. You're still very young and have plenty of room for growth. Make use of this time and become the strongest you can. Eventually, you will hit a bottleneck over every aspect of your strength and find it difficult to continue progressing. That will be the time for you to venture into forbidden techniques. So, please don't stay hung up on this matter.”
Hiruzen's words left no room for negotiation. Even though his expression didn't change, Fujin's mood darkened. He thought, ‘He didn't even bother giving me any excuse this time… He has made up his mind on this matter. I can't get the Edo Tensei jutsu from him… Getting it from Tsunade is out of the question too…’
Unlike Tsunade and Hiruzen, who thought in terms of decades, Fujin's eyes were on the near future. It wouldn't be too long before Akatsuki became active. Though the world had changed a lot due to his interference, Fujin needed to be prepared for any variations. He didn't want to go into such a huge event without possessing such a powerful and convenient jutsu under his belt.
Fujin decided, ‘There's no choice. I can no longer depend on him for this jutsu. I have to get it on my own!’
To change the subject, Hiruzen smiled and said, “Let's leave this matter behind. How was your journey this time? And, how long will you be staying here this time?”
Fujin answered, “It was the same as last time. This world is much bigger than I imagined. I won't be staying long. I'll likely leave in a day or two unless something comes up.”
Hiruzen said, “That's soon. If you don't have any destination in mind, you should go to the Land of Water.”
“Hmm, why so?” Fujin asked curiously.
Hiruzen answered, “A major development happened there a few weeks ago, far bigger than the incident in Iwagakure. The Fourth Mizukage died on the battlefield.”

Happened to me and I personally messaged hex myself, it's a glitch
Jack Nathaniel Mikhail
Many thanks for the chapter DH sama 😁

:)
David Rafael Tamir
Ill check again later Ty!
Devil Hex
Hmm, shouldn't have... Might be an issue on patreon's side. Refresh and check. If it doesn't show, check in a few hours..
David Rafael Tamir
Not really related to the chapter but is it just me or did all the posts disappear and got stacked up in volumes?
Book Warm
Half of kurama yin type chakra already in reaper death seal? If fujin could somehow get it back, that might help with his yin affinity , maybe take a potion of kurama yin chakra. Give the rest to Naruto, that would make Naruto stronger than original xD
Nick
Would also be interesting to see what happens if you open the 7th gate with a tailed beast regenerating you constantly . Or any of the gates seeing as the 7th gate is probably unrealistic for him.
Yamir
Maybe absorbing Kurama will increase his yang affinity.
Book Warm
Is there any tail beasts that help fujin with his yin or yang release?
Book Warm
It would be nice to see fujin in sage mode form picture xD
Book Warm
Yeah hunt down orochimaru would be a pretty interesting xD
Mohammed Sheekh
It's ok, we don't want you burning yourself out physically and mentally
Devil Hex
He does consider Hoka a good friend. So, depends on the situation really. Unless it's something too crazy which he wants but can't get normally, he won't do it.
Devil Hex
Sorry guys, too sleepy to continue 😵💫 I'll take a nap and continue in the morning. Expect it in around 10-12 hours.
Devil Hex
Thanks

Dm’d devil that it’s not locked so lets see if he see’s it
Tristan Cercado
This chapter isn’t locked
Yamir
If he reveals ftg all the Shinobi world would make an alliance against him xdd.
Devine
Yeah and I also want him to finally learn senjutsu.
Burntliquid
Fighting Kakashi as Akuro is one thing, that’s fine but still kind of pushing it for me. But attacking Konoha is so unnecessary and wouldn’t feel good at all
Evrit hansn
Fujin is saving it until he is forced to use it to save his life. Others think he does not have the space affinity, same with lightning.
Evrit hansn
True, what I really want is for Fujin to finally get his water affinity but the 3 tails is in the process of coming back so I can see it being 3 years before Fujin gets his water affinity.
Devine
Hopefully not. I'd prefer if he stayed single and only had one-night stands. That's most in line with his personality.
Devine
ETA?
Burntliquid
When are you going to have fujin reveal flying raijin? One year should have been more than enough for him to have learned it in the eyes of others
Dip
Attacking Konoba would be interesting and he would be able to fight Kakashi as well
Burntliquid
Hex please don't make Akuro attack Konoha, I feel like that's going way too far
Kelevra
Should take 3 years for it to come back I think unless that was only Kurama
Kelevra
Agree and probably lead to some kind of stagnation for most shinobi
Kelevra
I would say it depends, I don’t think he would do it just to get stronger, maybe for an advantage that near guarantee victory of some kind against Madara I think he might kill them if they get in the way of his ambitions but I think Fujin would have other ways of removing them from the equation maybe by tricking them into getting branded with his “slave” seal
Kelevra
Seeing as he will need to get Edo tensei on his own, does that mean he will target Orochimaru or Use his Akuro persona to attack Konoha?
Qweku_v
Thanks
Kaito
I had a question regarding Fujin. If he got the opportunity to sacrifice someone like Hoka or his students in order to get stronger without any negative side effects, would he do it since he doesn't really have any attachment to them or the village and only cares about himself?
Luco
Completely sealing Isobu would also obviously bring a major shift to the plot. Mainly "Obito can not make the 10 Tails happen". Also, we might see Isobu vs. the giant whirlpool kraken thingy.
Nyd. Studio
Hiruzen is kinda right on forbidden techniques. Unless you're a marie sue honest guy like minato, everyone who get to see the magnanimity of forbidden techniques would 100% become addicted, especially geniuses. Some of thoses jutsus are even more impressive than 6 paths abilities. It's an eye-opener for any shinobi that could lead them on a different or unknown path
Nick
Isobu is the perfect tailed beast for him too. Has water release affinity something he doesn't have yet and space-time ninjutsu . It's also known for being timid and works with its jinchūriki easily.
Nick
Looks like Akuro will need to temporarily befriend Orochimaru and learn some forbidden techniques
Grim Reaoer
I think everyone can see this chapter am a chunin so I should not have it I have not read it since it would not make since to me
Evrit hansn
Is terumi mei the love interest?
Ren
Huzzah
Luco
Oooooh, that means Isobu is up for grabs now or at least soon.
