Chapter 830 : Staring impolitely for three hours...
🕑 Added 2024-12-22 16:31:18 +0000 UTCTsunade wore a deadpan expression while Fujin awkwardly looked at the dissipating soul and thought, ‘Jeez, that's embarrassing. I didn't think it'd be so brittle…’
He sighed, “The soul was too weak. I didn't expect it to crumble from such a gentle nudge…”
Not wanting to embarrass Fujin, Tsunade said, “It's alright. We still have enough prisoners.”
Fujin nodded. Another prisoner was unwillingly dragged into the gates of hell and had his soul extracted and sliced by two of Konoha's top ninjas. This time, Fujin was extremely careful. Instead of using his Yin chakra directly, Fujin created chakra threads of Yin chakra to manipulate the injured soul and pushed it back into the prisoner's body.
Tsunade was surprised. She thought, ‘These are chakra threads from Suna's puppeteering techniques. That's another technique that needs a lot of time and excellent chakra control... How much did he abuse the Multi Shadow Clone technique? And, why didn't anyone stop him? It isn’t safe to use that jutsu without any constraint.’
Before Tsunade could ask Fujin about it, the prisoner woke up for a moment. In that instant, he felt pain like never before. He lost consciousness even before he could open his mouth to scream. Even though he gained consciousness for only a fraction of a second, Fujin and Tsunade noticed it. Complicated expressions appeared on their faces. Fujin thought, ‘He smiled while feeling such pain? Sigh…’
Even though Fujin and Hiruzen had a very close relationship on the surface, Fujin didn't entirely trust him. He didn't agree with several of his policies and some of his past actions among other things. However, as a ninja, Fujin had no choice but to pay the highest respect to Hiruzen.
Tsunade said, “You've done a good job, Fujin. Leave the rest to me.”
She took a couple of steps and stood next to the unconscious prisoner. Extending her palm towards him, she thought, ‘I can't treat him as a test subject. I have to assume that I'm treating Sensei. There is no scope for being complacent.’
She immediately pushed herself into a state of absolute focus, her mind shutting out everything but the task at hand. A moment later, she began healing him.
Fujin's eyes glowed as he concentrated chakra in them and thought, ‘Healing souls that are harmed to this extent… Even Orochimaru can't do it. I doubt any other ninja can do this either. If I have to improve my understanding of souls, I need to know how to heal them.’
Just like Tsunade, Fujin entered his highest state of concentration. Though he didn't have Sharingan in his eyes, it didn't matter. Tsunade's technique was so advanced that seeing it with a Sharingan was pointless. The only way to learn it was to have incredible healing capabilities and a deep understanding of Yin manipulation, Yang manipulation, the human body and the soul. Luckily, Fujin was one of the very few individuals who barely qualified across all aspects.
——
Danzo glanced at his former teammates, who had gone silent and were wrecking their brains to calculate the implications of Fujin and Akuro working together and what they should or should not do. It went beyond just their interests or safety. If Fujin could make Akuro target Konoha ninjas to resolve his issues, he would be a major threat to the village.
Of course, it was a big ‘if’. They had no proof apart from Danzo's hunch and there was extremely limited information on Akuro to calculate and analyze properly. Not to mention, Hiruzen still showed a lot of trust in Fujin, which was another factor that played against Danzo's speculation.
Danzo said, “If my speculation is true, then Fujin is a big threat to our village. We need to…”
Koharu interrupted him, “Don't even think of doing what you did with Shisui with Fujin. The fact that Hiruzen hasn't shared any details about Fujin with us must have to do with your independent actions against him. He doesn't want Konoha to lose another promising ninja due to your misconceptions.”
Danzo frowned and said, “Shisui's ability was a threat…”
He was interrupted again, this time by Homura, who said, “Perhaps it was. But Fujin's situation is different. He doesn't have the ability to control us or the Hokage. And, unlike Shisui, he's already the village's hero. If you take action against him without any proof, we won't be able to handle the backlash. The Clan Leaders have seen us as an eyesore for long, they won't give up this opportunity. You may be tried for treason while we'll lose our seats.
Besides, Hiruzen may be soft, but he isn't foolish. Nor will he make the same mistake he did with Orochimaru. His trust in Fujin is more reliable than your speculation. We should wait until Hiruzen regains consciousness and discuss this matter with him. He is the best person to make a judgement.”
Danzo's frown deepened. He realized, ‘These two have no intention of supporting me… At least not until I can get some proof. However…’
Danzo was in a difficult spot as well. His forces were extremely limited. He couldn't find anything on Fujin even when the Root hadn't been restricted and had all their members. Doing so now was impossible. The only way was to plant evidence, something Danzo excelled in. Unfortunately, that wasn't easy either.
The Anbu watched the Root Headquarters at all times, just like they watched the Uchiha clan earlier. They documented all the visitors and when the Root ninjas left and returned. Hiruzen ensured that there weren't any blind spots, and Shikaku maintained the surveillance in Hiruzen's absence.
So, planting evidence was very difficult as well since the attention could be diverted to him and the Root. Not to mention, he didn't have enough information about Fujin and what he had done as compared to Hiruzen and Shikaku, which introduced another element of risk.
That was why Danzo needed the assistance of his two former teammates. Unfortunately, despite their differences, they weren't convinced enough to make a move against Fujin.
Seeing the futility of continuing to talk, Danzo got up and said, “He may not have an ability like Shisui, but his partnership with Akuro is an equally great threat. Though he cannot control Konoha's leadership, he can eliminate it entirely with Akuro's help. Don't let your guard down just because he hasn't directly harmed you yet.”
Danzo's words lingered in the air as he walked out of the room. Though Danzo's words were grave and Homura and Koharu didn't take them lightly, they didn't take them completely seriously either.
As the door closed, Homura sighed, “Danzo… He hasn't changed a bit. Instead, his paranoia has increased further. He has also become impatient.”
Koharu agreed, “His words would hold a lot more weight if Akuro had killed any of our important ninjas. However, other than the attack on Root, he hasn't interfered with our village. Even in Kumogakure, he didn't kill anyone in a leadership position. It is too soon to say what sort of relationship he has with Fujin, assuming there's one in the first place.”
Homura nodded and added, “True. However, we need to be careful. With Fujin's tendency to hide his strength and his shrewd mind, it might be too late if we don't keep this in mind, especially if we plan on making him the next Hokage. We have to discuss it with Hiruzen as soon as he wakes up.
Though I don't think he'll betray Konoha, the bad feeling I had earlier was too intense. Irrespective of what it is, something about Fujin is off. I just hope it won't be bad for the village.”
——
For nearly three hours, Tsunade worked continuously to heal the prisoner's soul. For the entire duration, Fujin focused entirely on observing how she healed the soul. Finally, Tsunade stopped radiating her chakra into the prisoner's body and let out a shaky breath.
Her shoulders sagged as she straightened up, the strain of the prolonged effort evident in the slight tremor of her hands. Sweat clung to her brow, and her eyes were dulled with exhaustion. She wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and turned her gaze towards Fujin. Squinting her eyes, she asked, “Didn't find anything else to look at?”
Needless to say, Fujin's actions were considered impolite. Most ninjas didn't like it when someone else observed their techniques so carefully with the intention of copying them. It was a different thing if it was an old man secretly peeping through a crystal ball, but others weren't usually provided the same courtesy. This was another reason why other ninjas didn't like the ninjas from the Uchiha clan.
Fujin's eyes stopped glowing. He shrugged and replied, “What else could I look at? The only other option was looking at you.”
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and said, “You say as if it's an unpleasant thing.”
Without missing a beat, Fujin raised an eyebrow and replied, “Of course not. However, doing that for three hours would have been beyond impolite, don't you think so?”

Shameless Fujin is back in the house. Thanks for the chapter ☺️

😂😂😂😂😂

That's a very interesting perspective...I think itll work actually
Nyd. Studio
See? Hex? Now you are clarifying it and now i get it. But these guys here didn't care about whether fujin staring for 3h was problematic or not and were doing mental gymnastics to defend him. That is what i'm pointing out. They are fujin cultists
Nyd. Studio
Well you got a point Hex.
Nyd. Studio
You all should start creating a cult for fujin. He can't do no wrong
Earth General
In some ways the only reason Naruto got so strong by the end of the series is because he had the motivation to bring sasuke back if fujin was forced to leave the village because of a confrontation with danzo I could see fujin capitalize on the situation by making canon take place and taking over orchimaru’s roll in the story.
Earth General
I meant they would have that in common since they both lost someone to the uchiha massacre something he didn’t have with orochimaru maybe it could convince sasuke to want to want to tag team Itachi after he’s trained up instead of going at it alone 🤷
Devine Satanus
You are the one who is obsessed with tsunades body. Fujin doesn't care about her while he learns something new. He really only watched how she heals the prisoner. and do you really think that she would only talk to him if he really had peeped at her? I don't thinks so. Also the kids have kekkai genkai and he needed to feel how it feels to join 2 elements together and they probably couldn't explain how it works. Nobody said that he would learn how to heal a soul by only watching her. He can guess how it works and what the process is like but until he can heal a soul alone its a long way to go. Although tsunade "only" uses a special technique it's complicated and Fujin can ask her if he have any questions to how it works and she can guide him.
Devil Hex
Yup
Devil Hex
What Kelevra said. That 'guy' is Hiruzen 😅
Devil Hex
Interesting theory. Could be the case. Would make sense for her to learn how to heal souls after growing closer to Dan (be it for healing him, or the fact that she'd get a lot more test subjects due to his fighting style).
Devil Hex
Umm, he didn't stare at her body for 3h😶😶 Please read again, that would completely break his character, lol. And, I ain't even considering how weird that'd be even for a lustful character. Staring at the technique, I don't understand how that's weird. It's not like he had anything else to do there. As for testing... 1. It's not like he didn't test Hiruzen, but rather he couldn't. He was too weak. 2. He did test Orochimaru in a way, considering he battled him the first chance he got (granted it was more for the battle experience than testing). 3. Unlike Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Tsunade had a small but major change. She didn't have hemophobia. So, it's natural that Fujin was more curious about her than the other two Sannins.
Devil Hex
Sorry, another 30 mins 😅 Final this time. Editing taking a bit longer.
Antonio Fazio
15 minutes left on the eta boys, keep calm

Not to mention he needed to possess the body of the children he adopted with the spirit technique to understand how their abilities worked to begin with. What make you (or even him) think that he can visually understand an abilities so complicated the sharingan wouldn't even understand with his eyes alone?
Nyd. Studio
Tsunade didn't like it, in fact, no one would like being stared like this. In some country it's extremely rude or pervy. Not to mention at a woman. "He's obsessed with training" "he studied her techniques" wtf? You all are getting brainwashed by fujin antics. I'm a neutral bystander. If he does something weird i would call him out.
Kwabena Kumi
Why sasuke?...I dont understand why him...I can understand naruto since hes the best test subject for increasing chakra and the bijuu inside of him..but sasuke no reason comes to mind.... Hes not as arrogant as shippuden sasuke but we dont know that for a fact cuz the only interaction with him has only been his reaction to fujin showing his power..why would he have get his trust?...to take the sharingan fon him?...I dont understand
Kwabena Kumi
Ur take on this is wrong the answer was given at the end of chapter which was studying her technique...and everyone knows hes obsessed with training....it has been hinted on multiple times about that obsession with training...his whole goal for helping her was to learn more from her..maybe to steal a few techniques for himself..everything has been attempt at getting himself more powerful...the one thing he looked forward to her coming to the village was mainly because of this
Devil Hex
Maybe another half hour to complete and then 30-45 mins to edit
kiwwy
Hey any update?
Devine Satanus
And? Konohamaru is 8-9 years younger than Fujin and he is only interested in people he can use in some way. Fujin has no reason whatsoever to interact with him.
Devine Satanus
Did I miss something? What bad thing did he do? He only watched how she heals the soul of the prisoner. Nothing more and he only says that the only other option was to stare at her body instead of the healing.
Kelevra
Hiruzen is the guy feeling such pain while smiling, that’s why he starts speaking about him afterwards
Kelevra
I could see a path of Danzo eventually joining Akatsuki and becoming Sasori’s partner but probably very unlikely
Kelevra
I’d think after learning of his technique, there would be know way she wouldn’t start down the path of researching the soul. Most likely she’d study the victims of Dab as well in the off chance enemy villages had some variant of soul attacks
Kelevra
I think he saw a chance and took a risk, all knowing that Tsunade was in such a hyper focused state that she couldn’t or wouldn’t stop him
Nyd. Studio
Justifications to something bad doesn't mean he should get away. You guys are too much on the sauce
Devine Satanus
He didn't stare at her body. He stared at what she is doing to heal the soul. When he is learning new stuff he gets obsessed and hyper focused that is what Rubén probably meant.
Devil Hex
2-3h
Nyd. Studio
Not talking about his skillset or being well versed at anything. You dont get it
Rubén López
You're not talking about the same guy whose hobby was Fuinjutsu, the same guy who made the Hokage teach him vacuum jutsus by making him stay for more than a week, the same guy who made the Hokage teach him a Fire and Earth combat system, as well as having several medic-nins teach him about toxicology, anatomy and other things that gave them nightmares, and when they were done they threw a party so they wouldn't have to continue collaborating with that "monster", the same guy who made Jiraija have to run away from Anbu Ninjas who were bathing, the same guy who every time he got a promotion, he would go to the library to check what new jutsus he could learn, the same shameless guy who asked Hiruzen for a chakra sword with the letter that the Guidance Hall made the Village win a lot in addition to basically being trained in shamelessness by Hiruzen himself, as he did when seeing Danzo's teachings about vacuum jutsus.
Yamir
Yes, although this Sasuke is still not as arrogant as the one in Shippuden, let’s remember that this version of Sasuke cared little to nothing about who Madara was, even though, for the Uchiha, he was a somewhat significant historical figure. He would care even less about a girl he doesn’t know. Perhaps Fujin could mention her to gain his trust, making Sasuke see that he had a close relationship with the Uchiha clan and sympathized with them to some extent.
Devine Satanus
ETA?
Devine Satanus
Why would Sasuke want to know how Mieko died? They probably didnt even know each other
Nyd. Studio
she's testing him, but he's also testing her? Why? He didn't test hiruzen, or the other sannin. He should know what tsunade is like and what her rule would be as he transmigrated. Fujin stared at her body for 3h? He has never done something like this before. Even when studying other Ninjutsu, this is just unnecessary, rude and a little out of character. Even if he trying to learn, staring for 3h? That is obsession, is fujin obsessed about tsunade skills?
Earth General
Does fujin have the uniform and ring from killing Deidara?
Earth General
If fujin leaves the village he can take sasuke with him and play up naruto’s mental progression not only his best friend/brother but also his mentor/older brother that was one of the first to believe in him and give him a better place to live left. Maybe he could get sasuke’s trust by telling him how mieko got killed in the massacre and if he implants some sharingan as well he can say he got them like kakashi did
Harry Singh
Kinda? Like if Dan’s soul got injured due to being out of his body so many times and maybe getting injured in some weird jutsu so probably yes.
Kwabena Kumi
that would be dope...agreed
Kwabena Kumi
interesting..maybe this is where the plot thickens and he is pushed out the village...the idea of there beincg a fight at the end would lead to many dead konoha ninjas since fujin has not revealed the FTG and with so many markings all over the village itll be a massacre..lets hope it never gets there..and he leaves on a lighter note....great chapter
Yamir
I was remembering, and Fujin has never had any direct interaction with Konohamaru xD.
Dracule Newgate
You think she learned how to heal souls just in case she needed to heal Dan's soul someday?
Rubén López
I would think it's because of her relationship with Dan, as well as being a high-level medical ninja.
SHIK
Just have Itachi's team do it.
Yamir
Yeah a bit weird xd
Dracule Newgate
Since tsunade knows how to heal souls, does that mean that soul attacks or soul damage were commonplace back then?
Steve414290
Danzo telling the elders to be suspicious of Fujin then at a later date mysteriously dying would be a great development. The elders being the only ones to dread Fujin while the rest of the village thinks they are paranoid
Rubén López
Is it just me or is there a weird dialogue jump, where Fujin starts praising Hiruzen, and about a guy smiling while feeling pain for his soul.
Devil Hex
16 (very close to 17)
Rubén López
Being fair, Lightning Users in Konoha are somewhat rare, a good one much less. Added to the fact that it is something that he always hid, and that he focused a lot on showing the wind, earth and fire, in addition to always not being competent with water. His Wind Nature is quite powerful, and honestly that someone of 17 years old develops a chakra nature like lightning to a high level. Like the wind is strange, especially if you take into account that he takes advantage of Acuro, the Raijin sword, and the Kiba swords, one directly disappeared and the whereabouts of the others are unknown and the only one who has a suspicion is Hiruzen but he considered that if he had had them because he knew that he is not competent with lightning he would have exchanged them, for something with Hiruzen as he did, with Sasori's puppets, which were 2 surprise encounters one real and the other artificial, although he makes both suspicious, Hiruzen makes the fat one since it does not directly affect Konoha.
Devine Satanus
Yeah you're right but they know that he had hidden some of his strenght more than once. Onoki not. How old is Fujin atm?
José Roura
Id love to see Akatsuki killing Danzo.
Devil Hex
Not sure if I can complete another today. Also, will have to stay up until very late again if I try. I think I'll focus on maintaining this release time this week. Would be cool if I can maintain it for 6 days straight again :)
Antonio Fazio
more than anything else, Danzo doesn't realize that not only did one of his agents threaten Fujin before their first meeting, but that his reputation cannot help but make the ninja nervous in his presence. if you add that he practically admitted that his actions with naruto were dangerous for the village it's normal that fujin doesn't find him nice
Devil Hex
It is too big of a leap, lol. Imagine Onoki suddenly using Lightning Chakra Mode, lol.
Antonio Fazio
Fujin had an alibi for that
Moon Rabbit
In all fairness everyone probably assumes Fujin can't use lightning release
Burntliquid
It would be hilarious if he hired akatsuki
Devine Satanus
It's absolutely hilarious that they can guess that Fujin knows Akuro but apparently it's to huge of a leap to think that they are the same person.
Mersh
Hex, give me the satisfaction to read the elders head roll. Danzo planting suspicion into others head is too good. Watch Fujin learn of Danzos actions and be super shameless to either make another personality that specializes in other jutsus to attack Danzo or just hire Akatsuki to attack Danzo 😂😂
Dark Koro
Nevermind saw your reply under another comment
Dark Koro
Hey ! As there were two breaks this week, will we have a double release today?
Rubén López
Fujin: I saw an opportunity and took it, that's what heroes do, right?
Mr Falcon
These two are going to have a fun banterous relationship 😁
