Naruto: The Wind Calamity

In his basement, Fujin analyzed, 'I can finally move quick enough through the void to not have to resist the pressure from the Void Dimension. However, I still need to improve the number of times I can teleport continuously.

Right now, I can do it only 4 times before needing to stop. However, Minato could probably teleport hundreds of times within a second. It's why he was called the Yellow Flash!

Another aspect I need to work on is teleporting others with me at the same speed. I need to resist the pressure if I take a Shadow Clone with me. Oh well, these aspects will improve as I practice more. It's not something I need to be worried about. For now, I should check on Naruto.

Today is his Graduation exam. The last time I met him, he still wasn't able to perform the Clone jutsu. That said, his Taijutsu has improved a lot thanks to sparring with my clones occasionally. And, he knows 4 Wind jutsus. I wonder if the academy will make an exception for him and let him pass…'

Fujin hoped that wasn't the case. Naruto would steal the Scroll of Seals after he failed. While Fujin seriously doubted that Hiruzen would let him take the real one, Fujin didn't want to give up that small chance in case Naruto really did perform a miracle. Besides, this was also the time that Naruto would be learning about Nine Tails.

Fujin created a Shadow Clone and sent him to keep an eye on Naruto after applying several stealth seals on him.

In the academy, Naruto weaved hand signs and shouted, "Clone jutsu!"

Immediately, two clones appeared next to him. Unfortunately, both were terrible and looked almost dead.

Iruka shook his head and said, "Naruto, you fail!"

Naruto's mood immediately became very depressed. At that moment, Mizuki said, "Iruka-sensei. This is his third time and he did manage to create two clones, even though they were a bit flawed. Besides, his performance in Taijutsu and remaining Ninjutsu was very good. Why don't we let him Graduate?"

Iruka refuted, "He only created two and both are terrible. He has to create three to pass. This is a basic requirement of the academy. I can't pass him."

Just like in the original story, Naruto failed to graduate. A depressed Naruto went back to his seat. He thought, 'Even after training so much and after Fujin helped me so much, I still failed! Fujin will be disappointed in me.'

Naruto was even more depressed than in the original story as this time someone had helped him. Fujin's clone appeared sometime later and noticed him sitting dejected while the other students were undergoing their tests. He thought, 'Looks like he still failed. Oh well, I guess I just need to wait."

The clone kept hiding and witnessed the events play out. It had been over a decade since he transmigrated to this world. And it had been years since he had read the entire manga even before he transmigrated. So apart from the important events, Fujin had forgotten most of the minute details. Witnessing the events play out made Fujin recall some of those memories that were hidden deep within his brain!

As he recalled, Naruto was contacted by Mizuki while he was leaving. The clone dispelled himself after seeing Naruto leave with Mizuki.

Fujin received the memories of the clone and wondered, 'That's strange… Why didn't Naruto try to find me after failing? Even while he was leaving, he wasn't moving towards my house… Is he embarrassed to approach me after he failed?'

Fujin felt that to be the case but wasn't entirely sure. While Naruto was easy to read, his childhood was extremely brutal even in this messed-up world. Fujin wouldn't say that he'd be able to understand the psychology of such a person perfectly having never gone through something like that himself.

Fujin stretched his body and thought, 'I should sleep early. If events happen just as in the original story, then Naruto will steal the scroll tonight. I need to get up early and find him so that I can 'borrow' the scroll.'

Fujin went to bed. A few hours later, Naruto snuck into Hiruzen's house and stole the Scroll of Sealing successfully.

Fujin woke up around an hour earlier than usual and activated his Space Time Sensing Technique. As he expected, he sensed someone in the Training Ground opposite his house. He chuckled and thought, 'Guess he has become quite comfortable with this training ground… Oh well, lemme see what trick that old fox is playing this time! If he was indeed beaten by this knucklehead, I might as well keep the scroll with me permanently!'

Fujin freshened up before sneaking into the Training Ground. He observed Naruto from a distance for a few minutes and thought, 'This jutsu is tailor-made for him! He is learning it at a much faster rate than even me! I wonder if Tobirama had an intention of pairing this jutsu up with a Jinchuriki when he created this jutsu. The combination is just too magical!'

It was important to remember that Naruto, despite learning the training trick, never used it after learning the Shadow Clone jutsu. If he did, Fujin saw no reason why Naruto couldn't reach the peak of Ninjutsu! Even Kakashi, a ninja with top-tier talent and a Sharingan, might not be able to keep up with him. In fact, he was quite curious about whether Naruto would abuse this technique in the future or just take it easy like he did in the original story.

Naruto's breathing was heavy due to getting tired. He motivated himself by saying, "One more time! I'll master th…"

"What are you doing, Naruto?"

The sudden voice startled Naruto, who immediately turned around and lost his balance in panic. He fell on his ass as he saw Fujin. A look of surprise could be seen on his face as he asked, "Fujin! Why are you up so early?"

Naruto's expression looked like a thief who had been caught red-handed! He was planning to train there for another half an hour and leave before Fujin woke up. He wanted to continue training in secret until he mastered the Shadow Clone jutsu. Fujin's sudden appearance shocked him.

Fujin stared at him and asked, "Are you tracking my sleep cycle now? What are you doing training at this hour? And…"

Fujin's eyes landed on the scroll as he asked, "What's this scroll?"

Naruto answered slightly nervously, "I couldn't do the Clone jutsu in the Graduation exam and failed. But Mizuki sensei informed me that I could still pass if I learnt a jutsu from this scroll."

Fujin looked at the scroll and muttered, "The Scroll of Sealing? Where exactly did you get it?"

Naruto grinned and said, "I got it from the Hokage's house!"

Fujin raised an eyebrow and asked, "And how exactly did you manage that?"

Naruto continued grinning and said, "I defeated the Hokage with my super powerful secret jutsu! Hehehe."

Fujin chuckled and said, "Oh really? You managed to defeat Lord Hokage?"

Naruto said, "If you don't believe me, then I'll show you too!"

"Sexy jutsu!"

Naruto immediately transformed into a naked girl. A second later, a chop landed on his head and dispelled the jutsu. Naruto grabbed his head and rolled on the ground as he shouted, "Ou...ou…Ouch! That hurt! Why did you do that?"

Fujin tilted his head and said, "You said it was a secret jutsu. I was expecting it to be super powerful. I would have held back if you told me it was this weak. Is transforming into a naked girl all you do?"

Naruto argued loudly, "Hey! That isn't a weak jutsu! I knocked out Iruka Sensei and Grandpa Hokage with it! Besides, it is a hot naked girl!"

Fujin broke out into laughter and said, "You defeated Grandpa Hokage by transforming into an adolescent girl? Hahahaha! I didn't know that the respected Lord Hokage was this perverted. What an unexpected surprise. Anyway, which jutsu are you practicing?"

Naruto replied, "It is the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu."

Fujin said, "Oh, that's a powerful jutsu. Continue your training. I'll check the scroll and see if I can give you some tips to improve faster."

Naruto's face brightened up. He said, "You are the best, Fujin!"

He continued his training. Fujin grabbed the scroll and opened it while thinking, 'Stare all you want you old fox! If this is the real deal, then I'm copying it entirely while you watch from that perverted ball!'

Fujin had already felt Hiruzen's gaze. So he knew the chances of the scroll being legit were low. Regardless, there was no reason why he shouldn't mess with Hiruzen!

Sitting in his room, Hiruzen had a helpless expression as he watched through the crystal ball. He cursed, 'This brat! First, he calls me perverted despite knowing that I did it purposefully. And then he brazenly opens the Scroll of Seals despite knowing that I'm watching? He has grown too brazen! Thankfully the scroll is a fake! Otherwise, I would have had a real headache to deal with.'

Hiruzen was looking forward to Fujin's disappointed reaction. However, there was none. Fujin opened the scroll and thought, 'As I guessed… This scroll isn't the real deal. It only has Multi Shadow Clone jutsu and the Shadow Clone Explosion jutsu.

That old fox set this whole thing up to make Naruto graduate so that he could be placed under Kakashi along with Sasuke. I wonder if he knew Mizuki's intentions all along. Or did he just eavesdrop on their conversation and decide to do this? Doesn't matter I suppose. I guess I'll be giving Ibiki a gift today. Now that I think about it, I haven't given him any gift since the mission where I clashed with Kitsuchi!'
