Chapter 834 : Mental Trauma!
🕑 Added 2024-12-27 19:51:33 +0000 UTC[A/N: Thanks for the wishes everyone. Doing much better today. Cold still hasn't gone away completely, but is under control and no more watery eyes :)]
“Hmm…”
Yoshi stared thoughtfully at Sasuke, who became a bit concerned. He asked, “Why are you looking at me like this?”
Yoshi answered, “Well, your body is alright. There are no physical injuries. However, you seem extremely tense, showing signs of several types of mental traumas…”
He thought, ‘He was subject to more intense Genjutsu torture than Kakashi. And, it was done by none other than his older brother, the person who slaughtered every ninja in the Uchiha clan along with his parents. So, this is inevitable. Even though Lady Tsunade healed him, she can't treat something like this in a short time…’
Sasuke got off the bed and said, “I told you nothing's wrong with me. I can handle myself…”
Before he could leave the room, Yoshi shook his head and said, “You're wrong. Though it is often overlooked, the mental health of a ninja is critical considering what we have to go through on a daily basis. If you aren't in the right state of mind, you may make foolish decisions which would not only hurt you but also your close ones.”
He let out a sigh and his following words stopped Sasuke in his tracks! Yoshi continued, “Unfortunately, many ninjas ignore it and end up doing something very foolish. Perhaps that may be a reason why your older brother did something as drastic as he did. If his mental state had been checked, he may not have done what he did.”
Sasuke turned around and shouted, “You don't know anything about Itachi! He’s not some victim of his own mind, but a monster! A cold-blooded murderer who slaughtered my clan without a second thought! Don’t try to make excuses for him, he’s beyond saving!”
Sasuke completely lost his cool. However, Yoshi wasn't bothered. On the contrary, he understood Sasuke. He nodded and said, “Perhaps that might be the truth. However, I can't take a risk in you doing something like what he did. While I believe you won't do anything to your remaining clanmates, I can't say for sure that you won't do something that'll harm you.”
His tone became strict as he stated, “Until I approve your discharge, you'll stay admitted to the hospital. If you try to escape, I'll make a few Anbu ninjas watch over you.”
Sasuke was stunned. He never predicted his trip to Fujin's house would somehow end up in him being admitted again. Before he could burst out again, Yoshi smiled and said, “You don't need to look at this like a chore. I can feel a burning desire from you to get stronger and get your revenge. Once you improve your state of mind and become calm, your strength will improve rapidly. Let me tell you a secret.”
He got closer to Sasuke and asked in a soft voice, “You know Konoha's Sword, Suzuki Fujin, correct?”
Confused, Sasuke nodded. Yoshi said, “He visits me every month to get a complete medical check-up, get rid of any hidden stress forming inside his body and ensure that his mental state is always at its peak.”
Sasuke was surprised and wondered, ‘Fujin also visits him?’
Yoshi chuckled internally, ‘Well, he no longer visits every month and has never talked about his state of mind, but Sasuke doesn't need to know that.’
To strike when the iron was hot, Yoshi quickly added softly, “He also has his students get a similar checkup every month. Your teammate, Naruto also comes along with them. I'm sure you must have noticed how rapidly his strength has been growing.”
Sasuke's eyes widened and he thought, ‘Naruto also comes here? Why didn't he ever mention it? And, why didn't Kakashi arrange the same for us?’
Yoshi continued, “I don't know if you know how strong Fujin's students are. I'm not entirely sure myself. However, from what I heard, despite not even being official ninjas yet, they're stronger than every Genin who participated in the Chunin exams. So, don't worry about wasting time here. It'll absolutely be worth it.”
Finally, Sasuke relented. Yoshi made the necessary arrangements for him while thinking, ‘Young ones. It's so easy to convince them. The only one who was a pain in the ass was Fujin! That brat not only fooled me but made me beg him for years. Even when he accepted my offer, he made me regret that I ever offered to teach him!’
Yoshi had no idea how strong Fujin's students were. While he knew Naruto's strength grew at an insane rate, it had nothing to do with him. In fact, he was completely amazed by his progress. He just said those things to convince Sasuke to stay voluntarily.
Fujin had no idea that his random act ended up causing Sasuke to be admitted once again. If he did, he'd be amazed at how accurate Yoshi's actions were. After all, this was the time when Sasuke was supposed to betray Konoha and go to Orochimaru, the one who had killed their leader in the original story.
While Fujin went to work with Tsunade, the entire village was talking about Flying ninjas. Unlike Naruto and the kids, who were sent flying through the outskirts of the Konoha to another training ground, Sasuke flew right through the most crowded areas. Too many people had seen him and gossip spread like wildfire.
Several ninjas had seen Sasuke flying as well. And, they weren't capable enough to connect dots like Jiraiya. So, they believed that Sasuke had the ability to fly. The news spread so much that it reached Danzo's ears too!
In the root headquarters, Danzo read a report with a puzzled expression. He thought, ‘Uchiha Sasuke learnt how to fly? And, he flew across the village to the hospital?’
Danzo recalled everything he knew about Sasuke. He couldn't remember anything related to him working on a technique to fly. So, Danzo couldn't understand how he learnt something so complicated.
Danzo analyzed, ‘The ability to fly isn't very rare. Quite a few have succeeded in doing so, most notably the Second and Third Tsuchikage. However, no one has been able to make a technique that allows hundreds of ninjas to fly, other than those buffoons. If Uchiha Sasuke's technique can be used by others, Konoha's strength will increase by a huge degree…’
Danzo was tempted to find Sasuke and get the technique from him. However, recalling Itachi's recent visit to Konoha, he dropped any ideas he had. Not to mention, Sasuke was Kakashi's student, someone who was famous for copying jutsus. If the technique could be used liberally, then Kakashi would coordinate with Tsunade to spread the technique among other Konoha ninjas. It was difficult for Danzo to make a political comeback using this matter without making some shady moves, a path cut off by Itachi.
Danzo decided, ‘I'll ignore it. Something about this feels off. There's no need to attract negative light at this time. As long as I stay patient, I'll have my chance to turn things around.’
——
Unaware of such happenings, Fujin spent the entire day with Tsunade again, improving his understanding of the soul further. Tsunade succeeded in healing the prisoner's soul to the state she wanted. She handed him to a couple of medical ninjas to be kept under observation. Fujin slashed the soul of another prisoner and she started healing it.
The next day, before he and Tsunade could start their experiments, they were called by Shikaku. A team had arrived from Sunagakure, led by Tenma Arisa and Yura. They were welcomed by a team led by none other than Hatake Kakashi, unnerving them a bit. Yura thought, ‘To send Kakashi to receive us, they must be on guard against us pulling off a strange move.’
As they walked to the Hokage Building, they attracted hateful gazes from Konoha ninjas and citizens, increasing the pressure on them further. The gazes finally stopped once they entered the Hokage Building. The remaining members stayed behind as Kakashi led Yura and Arisa to the Hokage's office.
As she followed Kakashi, Arisa thought, ‘Truly mending ties with Konoha will take a lot of time and effort. Their people still hate us due to our attack. That said, I'm not sure if the council truly is interested in it. As long as Konoha doesn't attack us until we recover our strength, it'll be good enou…’
Her thoughts froze as she stepped into the Hokage's office. In the office were the two elders of Konoha, Homura and Koharu, along with 3 Clan Leaders, Shikaku, Hiashi and Shibi. However, they weren't the ones who terrified her.
Sitting in the Hokage's seat was Tsunade, the Slug Princess, her eyes staring at the two Suna Elite Jounins. Standing behind her was Jiraiya the Gallant, with a smile on his face. And, standing on one side of the room with his back leaning against the wall was the Sand Slayer, Suzuki Fujin, his eyes watching their every move closely. If either of them made one false move, they didn't doubt that their heads would roll in the blink of an eye!

No. I'm talking about a girl that Fujin killed. She was related to Orochimaru. I forgot her name. But when I'm introduced to new characters, I like to look them up. And it was the girl that Naruto saved. Fujin has the power to take out enemies without killing them. So I felt that death to be senseless
Tathagata Das
Wow, your memories are much fresher than mine. But you forgot one person, Guren, she was also killed , though I am not complaining about it.
Tathagata Das
Man, I like your ideas, and it is up to the author what he will do. BUT, when did I ever say 'openly dedicated labs in Konoha', it is supposed to be a secret to everyone except the council, please read my comments first
Rubén López
Characters saved by Naruto? Raiga in the Original had died, and Ranmaru stayed in a Spicy Curry stand, here he joined the ghost society possibly being a future S-rank ninja, and Karin was free to return to Kusagakure as well as to live with Orochimaru, the whereabouts of Sai and Suigetsu are still unknown. and Yuugo is still alive under Orochimaru's command. The Sound Five met their end faster, perhaps one on the outside is the case of Dodai who was somewhat relevant to face the third Raikage, who died in the attack on the Kumo bases. I don't know if you're referring to characters from the Fuma clan who would also be dead in the filler, perhaps only leaving alive the girl with the orange hair but it is not known how involved, maybe the sea monster girl from the land of the seas but it could still be said that she is alive, although what made her discriminated was the doctor who just died recently at the hands of Tsunade, and Kabuto's companions whose whereabouts are unknown in the manga, dead in the filler, and here early death, Outside of that I can't think of anything that could be said about Fujin. XD. Technically saving quite a few, in the land of Rivers, outside of the lands of Kumo, Iwa and Suna, although only many without names.
Alex Medvec
Doesn't he have one of sorts in his house? I personally don't like the idea of labs to the point that you need dedicated labs. It'll get more darker than it needs to. I already didn't like how some characters like some of which Naruto saved were killed by Fujin. So it's dark enough. You're pretty much asking him to create an another Orochimaru. And that will be boring. Might as well call this "Reincarnaded as Orochimaru" at that point. I much rather him obtaining some lost or ancient medical book in his adventures than reading about his human experiment. Though human experiments are good to set a vibe. It shouldn't consume alot of chapters. Maybe he can obtain some medical books from some cultists? Anyway. Fujin can easily already do it secretly with captured ninjas. And already done so. Furthermore, he has his own secret organization. It could be easily be done there without the additional dedicated labs. Not to mention, it will make everyone to suspicious as it conjure up the image of Orochimaru in the hearts of the populace. So I don't think that Fujin is the type to openly have dedicated labs in Konoha.
Tathagata Das
Ok, thanks for answering author
Devil Hex
If need be. As you said, he has been doing human experiments for quite some time now (like testing Eight Trigrams Divination Seal/Spirit Transformation jutsu on bandits/rogue ninjas). A specific lab in Konoha... Probably no. He'll just use existing ones if need be (way less work). If he has to create a new one from the ground up, will likely be a secret one.

Sorry, probably another hour to complete and 30 mins to edit... Check in around 100-105 mins.

Any update?

Exactly, but this can go, as Hiruzen or Tsunade whom he will sometimes take help off will not be careless unlike with Orochimaru. Secondly, he can just tell the council that he is stuck in improving his wind techniques, thus he wants to do this,after he has contributed so much to the village and the amount of power he already has, no one can stop him IF it's surveillienced by two Kages and the only people brought are death row criminals and not orphans and other former ninjas or normal civilians. Also, the existence of this lab or labs should only be known by the council. Otherwise, with just his own secret training I don't think he can go so far in THESE fields and may resort to just accidental breakthrough. Furthermore,power and relation speaks everything,Funin has a fine relation with some of the clan leaders and MOST importantly it is weird that because someone has done something in a vast field of research in the past which has brought devastating results, but which could have also brought very good rewards,no one will ever do that. Though,I hope that he does not face a political blacklash as the elders are now suspecting him to have a cordial relationship with Akuro.
Rubén López
Wouldn't that basically be creating an Orochimaru 2.0 which is what basically everyone with power in Konoha least wants? Which is basically the reason why despite his power, they want to avoid another Orochimaru.
Tathagata Das
Devine Satanus, that is also an interesting idea, but he can only improve so and so just by trying himself, but havi g the help of hiruzen is just impeccable. Though, he can obviously do some experiments in secret too.
Tathagata Das
Alex Medvec, I said LABS lol I clearly remember that he has done so in many cases, but from now onwards it is a different matter if he focuses heavily on these things too. Especially in naruto shippuden all of the characters have crazy,cheat powers, so rather than just showing all the means we would normally think of to make a person powerful(including edo tensej and such, but this is an exception like the other forbidden jutsus) like sage mode implanting rinnegan, improving his wind and lightning jutsus with the information and knowledge he has gained after battling Orochimaru, Sakumo, I also wanted to know if he would seriously pursue them as well, as for me removing human body limitations is very cool too. Before you say, I know that he is focusing on souls now, I wanted to convey to the author that will he let Funin have labs in Konoha after discussion with the council as that would let him experiment more freely and often and on top of that he can learn some forbidden jutsus from Hiruzen and can experiment there. Hiruzen may help him a bit too. That was the whole point of mentionong the labs.
Devine Satanus
I think what he/she means is without tsunade or the knowledge of konoha? ATM it's only with tsunade
Alex Medvec
He's already doing it. Have you not been reading?
Lucas Miranda
Any update?
Tathagata Das
Author, will you ever make Fujin do human experiments(on death row criminals )and have his own lab where he can research about souls and things related to medical ninjutsu, funinjutsu, jujutsu? It would be amazing if he becomes amazing by these unconventional or not so used methods too.

But what does a reincarnation even mean? It is not properly stated or shown in the anime, it's like fate maybe, though they have the latent ability because of their blood but they do not retain their memories or personality. It is rather mysterious.. But I do think the same that he will probably focus more on revenge than personal growth. Though please tell me if you meant it from a different angle.

Yes, some time ago the author decided to take Saturdays off. It is easier for him and the schedule of chapter releases can be stabilized.

No posts on Saturdays now?

A change in mindset would benefit Sasuke a lot, in my opinion. In Konoha, he has almost everything he needs to grow. With Guy’s training, he could improve physically, with Anko, he could gain access to snake summoning; and with Kakashi, he could work on perfecting his Chidori. The only thing left would be for him to focus on personal growth instead of revenge. But I see this as very difficult since he is the reincarnation of Indra.
