Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 561: Categorizing Kekkei Genkai

[A/N : Hey guys. This chapter is Sponsored by Zero1995. You can thank him for the double release.]

As Fujin had expected, there were kids from the Yuki clan among the orphans. In fact, more than half of the ones whose bloodlines had been identified were from the Yuki clan. 3 of the 5 kids with Kekkei Genkai were from the Yuki clan as well and had Ice Release. It was the other two Kekkei Genkai that surprised Fujin.

Neither were native to the Land of Water. One had the Storm Release while the other had the Scorch Release, the Kekkei Genkai Fujin felt that he was most likely to learn.

Fujin thought, 'Weird Why did these two Kekkei Genkai appear in the Land of Water? On second thought, it isn't too strange. After all, no matter how much a clan tries to keep their bloodline in their clan, there will always be a few in every generation who'd sleep around. Actually, it is a surprise that the genes aren't that well spread despite existing for centuries.

Regardless, Danzo is undoubtedly extremely lucky to get his hands on these two. Or rather, was lucky. Guess I should be glad for his luck. It might just give me the inspiration I need. Anyway, there aren't any kids from the Sakai or the Terumi clan as I expected. After all, both their clans are still quite strong and are actively fighting against the Mizukage faction.

There aren't any from the Kaguya clan either. Though there are 3 from the Hozuki clan, that clan doesn't have a Kekkei Genkai. Their clan is famous for their secret technique, but these 3 kids don't know that secret technique. So that makes them no different from any other kid'

While Fujin and Hiruzen were conversing, all the kids were assigned their rooms. Two kids were placed in each room. As a part of Root's training, Danzo had ensured that each kid had a 'best friend'. Hiruzen naturally knew what Danzo would have eventually done. However, even though the kids were no longer in Root, Hiruzen didn't see any harm in letting the friendships continue and become stronger. If anything, it was beneficial.

Seeing that everyone had settled, Hiruzen said, "Fujin, I'll leave the rest to you. If you have any doubts or require assistance, you can contact Homura and Koharu. Both have more experience than me in handling such matters."

Fujin looked at Hiruzen skeptically. While he didn't doubt their skills, there was no way Hiruzen would lose to either of them in these matters. Fortunately for Hiruzen, Fujin didn't mind bothering them as well. He nodded and asked, "What about Naruto?"

Hiruzen answered, "I talked with the clan leaders and the elders. They don't have an issue with him moving in here. However, as you said, only do so if he gets along with these kids."

Hiruzen sighed internally as he recalled, 'To think that after so many years of unsuccessfully trying to put Naruto in a better place, the answer was so simple. Without Danzo's influence, it is much easier to get things done. Though Fujin was a huge factor as well.'

Even though most clan leaders sympathized with Naruto's situation, no clan wanted to see any other clan get a huge advantage by gaining control of the Jinchuriki. Under such circumstances, he would have normally been placed with the Hokage.

However, the Sarutobi clan already had a very large influence in Konoha and the Land of Fire. Hiruzen occupied the Hokage seat, his elder son was the leader of Anbu and his younger son was one of the twelve guardians of the Daimyo. In addition, due to the consistent wars, the Anbu forces Hiruzen controlled had grown stronger than most clans. Not to mention, Hiruzen had a deep influence inside other clans as well due to leading the village for so long.

Even in such a case, they would have come up with some arrangement for Naruto. Unfortunately, with Danzo working in the background and fanning the flames, that became impossible. Without a strong ninja, like Jiraiya or Tsunade stepping in to break the impass and taking the responsibility, the situation stayed the same despite none of the involved parties being satisfied.

Hiruzen continued thinking, 'Unlike me, Fujin doesn't have much influence. Even though he has these kids under him now and represents the highest number of ninjas in the council, his real influence isn't that high. After all, he isn't their leader and there is no blood relation between him and the others.

Where his actual influence lies is his strength and abilities. Combined with the fact that the clan leaders were sympathetic about Naruto's situation, there was surprisingly no opposition from them.'

Hiruzen was happy with how easily this matter was resolved. He was expecting Fujin to be happy as well, but Fujin just plainly replied, "That's good. I'll introduce Naruto to them the next time he shows up."

Hiruzen was a bit surprised but what he didn't know was that Fujin was sighing internally. Fujin thought, 'What a bummer. I was hoping that someone would oppose it. I could have got some entertainment in making them change their decision in a 'non-violent' way.

Sigh, I need a good fight soon. Raiga, though decent, wasn't good enough. He couldn't even force me to use my Wind jutsus It's a shame that it is so difficult to get a fair fight with any rank S ninja'

Seeing that Fujin wasn't saying anything, Hiruzen said farewell and left. Fujin returned to his house as well. There wasn't much for him to do. Instead, his mind began thinking about Kekkei Genkai. Fujin had been thinking about creating a Kekkei Genkai for a long time.

As he grew increasingly stronger, he no longer felt a very strong desire towards them. However, it was still something he would love to have. Getting access to kids who knew these Kekkei Genkai was a good opportunity for him.

He analyzed, 'Scorch Release, Storm Release and Ice Release

It's a shame that my talent in Water manipulation is too low. Both Ice and Storm Release require water manipulation. Even though I have great control over Wind and Lightning, these two will be extremely difficult to create, though I still have some hope towards the Storm Release.

On the contrary, Scorch Release fits me perfectly. My talent in Wind manipulation is exceptional while my Fire manipulation ain't bad either. What's more, it is also one of the simpler Kekkei Genkai.'

When he was studying about Kekkei Genkai, Fujin had categorized them according to their complexity and how easy or difficult they would be for a normal ninja to master.

The first category was the simple Kekkei Genkai. Fujin had put Scorch, Storm, Lava and Steam Release. All these Kekkei Genkai were very straightforward. In fact, Fujin already had a small degree of success in two of these Kekkei Genkai.

Scorch Release just involved using fire and winds to amplify each other. Considering how compatible the two elements were, Fujin felt that it was probably the easiest Kekkei Genkai. Fujin could heat up winds within his Wind Domain using Fire. Even without Wind Domain, he could create Wind Explosion spheres that were made of extremely hot winds. It was his attempt at copying Pakura's technique. Unfortunately, he fell short in a very important aspect.

On the other hand, Steam and Lava Release worked by using Fire to evaporate the water and melt the rocks respectively. As for Storm Release, it involved manipulating Lightning like it was Water. With his control and with the help of the Blade of the Thunder Spirit, Fujin could control his Lightning to an extent, though it wasn't as flexible as what Darui could achieve.

The second category had the slightly more sophisticated Kekkei Genkai. It included Ice, Explosion, Wood and Magnet Release. Fujin understood the basic concepts of these Kekkei Genkai and knew their properties. However, what he couldn't understand was how exactly the elements would mix to create the Kekkei Genkai.

For instance, Ice Release was a combination of water and wind. However, unlike Lava Release, where he could clearly explain the functions and interactions of the two elements, Fujin couldn't understand how exactly Water and Wind would need to interact to create Ice.

Similarly, it was difficult to calculate how Wind and Earth together could replicate the Magnetic effect or how Water and Earth together could create Wood. How Earth and Lightning, two very incompatible elements worked together to create Explosion Release was also something he couldn't figure out.

For these reasons, Fujin considered these 4 Kekkei Genkai as more sophisticated as he had no idea how to begin working on them. While he did have some help in studying Ice Release due to that book, all it did was help Fujin eliminate some guesses as none of the methods mentioned in the book ever worked!
