Chapter 282: 58 Scrolls!
Fujin entered Section A of the library and looked around. The size of this section was much larger than other sections. However, the number of scrolls in this section was the least.
Fujin immediately began looking for Wind jutsus. As he searched and collected the scrolls, he analyzed, 'I wonder if any rank A Wind jutsu will be of any aid to me. After all, most of my rank B and C jutsus are as strong as rank A jutsus due to supercharging them and Yin & Yang control.'
In a few minutes, he grabbed all the Wind scrolls and sat on a table. He analyzed, 'Not bad. I wasn't expecting many Wind jutsus considering how few were there in Section B.'
Fujin had found 6 scrolls. They were :
Blade of Wind jutsu
Severing Pressure jutsu
Wind Explosion Clone jutsu
Assassin's Rush jutsu
Geyser Creation jutsu
Summoning: Giant Windmill jutsu
Fujin decided to start with the one with which he was the most familiar. He opened the Blade of Wind jutsu scroll and began reading. In a minute, he thought, 'This jutsu is almost entirely similar to the Wind Sword jutsu. Just that the power, sharpness and speed have been increased slightly and it also provides some defensive uses. Still, it should be very easy to learn.'
Fujin extended two Fingers on his right hand. Immediately, the wind began flowing around them. A small 1-inch blade of wind appeared on top of them. Soon, that blade began increasing in size and reached 1 foot in size. Fujin analyzed it and nodded, 'This jutsu is down. I didn't even need to use the hand seals. I'll begin using this instead of Wind Sword jutsu.'
Fujin kept the scroll back and turned his attention to the next jutsu. He analyzed as he read, 'The Wind Explosion Clone jutsu. I tried creating this jutsu by myself by referencing the Shadow Clone Explosion jutsu. I succeeded, but the damage output was very low. It was just barely higher than an Explosion tag unless I put in too much chakra. Unfortunately, I didn't get much free time after the Anbu training phase was over to work on this jutsu.'
Fujin read the entire scroll carefully and realized, 'Oh, I see. I was going about this in the wrong direction. I was first creating a normal Wind Clone and then using its chakra to explode and generate sharp winds. But according to the scroll, the clone itself is created for the sole purpose of exploding. So it can explode faster and generate more powerful explosions. This is different from Shadow Clone Explosion. I wonder if I could modify Shadow Clones using these methods as well.'
Fujin kept the scroll and began reading the rest. He read the Severing pressure scroll and shook his head, 'This scroll requires a fan to be used. Not suitable for me. Its lethality doesn't exceed my sword slashes and its range doesn't exceed Infinite Breakthrough. I don't need it.'
Fujin opened the Assassin's Rush jutsu scroll and began reading. His eyes immediately sparkled as he thought, 'Nice! This is a great and very practical jutsu. I'll learn this after mastering the Wind Explosion Clone jutsu.'
Fujin checked the last two jutsu scrolls as well and had mixed feelings. He analyzed, 'These jutsus are a bit difficult and have limited use. But they are quite strong. Summoning: Giant Windmill is a jutsu similar to Rashomon summoning. This jutsu was created by the 2nd Kazekage as well.
The jutsu summons a giant Windmill that is around 3 storeys tall from the ground similar to Rashomon Gates. However, instead of defense, this jutsu is for attacking. The blades of the Windmill will spin rapidly and will form a strong wind flow that will pull everything towards the blades. If anyone gets caught in it, they will be chopped in pieces, a certain death.
Unfortunately, even the user isn't spared from this wind flow. Though it isn't an issue as I can hide underground. But, I can't use this jutsu when I'm with allies. In addition, it is also heavy on chakra. And though the damage potential is high, it won't be effective against veteran ninjas. They will just hide underground or find something for support.
So the only use of this jutsu is to clear cannon fodder when I'm fighting solo. Not very useful as I already have too many means of doing that. Other than running away, this is what I excel the most at.
As for the Geyser Creation jutsu, it is a bit complicated as it is based on a Steam Release jutsu from the Sakai clan. The jutsu has two phases. In the first phase, cracks and holes have to be created in the ground. And then we have to make hot steam erupt from the ground and blast whatever is in the way.
However, this jutsu was modified. Instead of hot steam, I will have to make highly pressurized air erupt from the cracks in the ground. Instead of blasting and burning, it will cut the ones in the way. And since this jutsu comes from the underground, the opponent won't be able to hide underground to avoid the attack.
I'll learn this jutsu as well. Two new jutsus along with the Wind Explosion Clone jutsu, not bad. Unfortunately, it looks like Konoha's stock of Wind jutsus isn't very high. Or perhaps, the number of rank A Wind jutsus itself is quite low. Would make sense if even something as lethal as the Wind Vacuum technique is only rank B!'
Fujin kept the Wind scrolls back and began collecting the scrolls related to Fuinjutsu. There was a hint of excitement in his eyes. Even more so than when he checked the Wind jutsus. The reason for this was simple. If Fujin could learn and master every seal in this Section, he would be a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster. Very few people in Konoha could call themselves this. More importantly, it would allow Fujin to ask Hiruzen for the Flying Thunder God!
As he collected the scrolls, he realized, 'I see. Almost half of the scrolls here are for Fuinjutsu. As for the rest, the majority are Rank A Fire jutsus followed by Water and Earth jutsus. I guess this shows the foundation of this village. Fuinjutsu scrolls probably came from Mito, Earth and Water scrolls from the Senju while Fire scrolls should have come from the remaining clans.'
In all, Fujin found 58 Fuinjutsu scrolls. He created a few clones and they divided the scrolls among them. They immediately began studying.
After around half an hour, a Jounin entered Section A. He had received information that someone went into Section A of the library without authorization. However, as soon as he entered, he was left dumbfounded by the sight. 10 people with similar faces were reading the scrolls and had more scrolls with them. His eyes twitched as he thought, 'Using shadow clones to read in the Library? That's a first.'
He coughed to attract Fujin's attention. But Fujin didn't even look at him, leaving him standing alone awkwardly. He walked towards one of Fujin's clones and asked, "What are you doing?"
Fujin's clone looked up and answered, "Reading."
The man was left speechless once again. Fujin's clone was looking at him as if he was the biggest idiot in the world. He wondered, 'Do his eyes have an issue?'
He said, "I am the supervisor of the Library. Tell me why are you in Section A? It is restricted and only Jounins can enter. If you are here without any authorization, you will be arrested and punished by Lord Hokage."
Fujin's clone looked back at the scroll and began reading as he said, "I got promoted today and reported to Lord Hokage that I'll be coming here. Feel free to ask him."
The supervisor was dumbfounded. He thought, 'Such a young Jounin? I'll have to confirm with Lord Hokage though. It'll be a pain in the ass if he is lying.'
He asked, "What is your name?"
Fujin's clone answered, "Suzuki Fujin."
The supervisor nodded and left. He had no intention of talking further with Fujin. He left the Section and asked a couple of people to keep an eye on Fujin while he confirmed whether what Fujin said was true.
Fujin and his clones ignored this matter. They went through every scroll in detail. It was a few hours past midnight by the time they were done.
Fujin dispelled the clones one by one and received their memories. He let out a sigh, 'I thought that like jutsus, the number of seals in this section would also be lesser. Instead, it's many times higher. No wonder that despite there being so many SealMasters, there are so few Grandmasters in Fuinjutsu. If I don't use Shadow Clones, I'll probably need more than a decade to learn all these seals.
Even with Shadow Clones, this will be very time-consuming. I should first learn the rank A Wind jutsus. Then I will focus entirely on the seals.'
A smile formed on Fujin's face as he thought, 'Fortunately, I found the few seals I was looking for. Once I learn them, I can begin working towards that plan.'
