Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Yumi quickly analyzed, "All three of them retreated when Rentaro's squad got in range. And they only sent a clone to check us out. But, how did they get away so quickly? My eyes can look at chakras up to 520 meters!"

Rentaro said, "If they escaped, it means that they were afraid of us."

Yumi shook her head and said, "They have a Hyuga. His range should be greater than mine. I suspect that the guy we were fighting is a sensor too. And all 3 of them are experts at flickering. So they can continuously ambush us for the next 5 days. The worst will be if they ambush us when we are fighting. We will be at a huge disadvantage!"

The expressions of the Kiri genins became grim. It was never a good feeling to be hunted. Especially considering how relentless their opponents were.

Yumi looked at Rentaro and said, "Let's team up. Otherwise, we may be attacked one by one by them."

Rentaro unwillingly agreed, "Alright. But who gets the scroll?"

Yumi asked, "Which scroll do you guys have?"

He replied, "Earth scroll."

Yumi said, "We have a Heaven scroll. If we find a Heaven scroll, you guys take it. If we find an Earth scroll, we will take it. If we don't manage to get any, then you can take our Heaven scroll and advance to the 3rd round."

On hearing that, Satoru and Kohaku complained. But Yumi said, "If Rentaro's squad didn't appear, then we may have died to that Leaf squad. So we owe them one."

Rentaro's squad agreed to that condition, and they began treating their wounds. Once healed, they moved together until they found the required scrolls. The entire time they were in the Forest of Death, they were highly alert to any ambushes. But they were never attacked by Fujin's team. After all, they had already passed the exam even before Fujin's clones fought against the six of them!

Tower -

Inside the tower, Fujin, Mieko, and Hoka had opened both scrolls. It summoned Adachi Genki. He was quite happy to see Fujin and Hoka. And was shocked at how quickly the exam was cleared!

He said, "Fujin, Hoka, good to see you two again. Mieko as well. I didn't expect you guys would take the chunin exams so soon. But how did you manage to clear the exam so quickly? It hasn't even been an hour."

Mieko looked begrudgingly at Fujin and said, "We shouldn't have finished it so quickly!"

Fujin shrugged once again and said, "We came across a team that had the scroll we needed and beat them easily. They handed over their scroll quickly and we moved towards the tower. We did fight a Kiri team afterwards, but they escaped and we entered the tower."

Genki was surprised. He asked, "That much in less than an hour?" All 3 nodded as none of them felt it was difficult.

Genki sighed seeing how none of them thought it was a challenge. He said, "Well, congratulations then. The previous record was 5 hours 30 minutes. It was made by Uchiha Itachi . You guys broke his record by a huge difference."

That surprised Mieko and Hoka. Fujin too acted surprised. Mieko quickly exclaimed, "We beat Itachi's record?? Really?" She was super excited. "And that too by more than 4 and half hours?" Fujin wondered, 'I never saw her talk about Itachi, but she is so excited about beating his record? Is she trying to compete with him? Poor girl.'

Fujin chuckled and teased her, "If you had listened to me, we would have broken it by over 5 hours. But you still insisted on wasting time."

This made her give Fujin the stink eye. She was still annoyed at how he brought her to the tower. She unwillingly admitted, "If I knew that the record was held by Itachi, I would have agreed."

Fujin chuckled and then suddenly sighed, "If we had completed it in half an hour, I don't think anyone would have ever broken our record. Now it's still breakable due to you two."

Hoka and Mieko both looked at Fujin with deadpan expressions. While Genki was shocked, "You guys could have finished it faster?"

Hoka said, "Alright. You win. Now stop gloating!" Mieko snorted and said, "If you want to create a record, then fail this exam and give it again next year."

Now Fujin had a deadpan look. He replied, "You know, the 3rd phase is one on one fights. You better hope that you don't face me in the first round. Or you'll end up being defeated by my clones once again."

Fujin smirked on saying that. And Mieko was very annoyed, "You…" However, before the argument could get any further, Genki interrupted them, "Alright, argue later. You have done an excellent job creating the record for the 2nd phase of the exam. Now I'll explain to you the meaning of the writing on the wall behind me."

On hearing that, the genins gave a closer look at the wall behind Genki. Fujin remembered, 'Oh yeah. I completely forgot about this.'

Genki then began explaining the same thing Iruka explained to Team 7 after they passed. Fujin, Hoka, and Mieko heard it, but none were much interested in it.

While Genki was explaining, Fujin received the memories of his shadow clone. His mind wandered, 'Oh, Ice Kekkei Genkai? Also the likelihood of them having participated in actual war. The finals should be fun. That said, she proposed a truce. Meaning that, like my clone, she couldn't sense us inside the tower. So until they pass the 2nd round, they will forever be paranoid of a sneak attack, haha.'

As Genki was explaining to the genins, a chunin instructor ran to the room where Inuzuka Tsume was. Tsume looked at him and asked, "Why are you running?" He said, "Tsume-sama, one team already passed the exam!"

Tsume was shocked, "What? So soon?" Even Kuromaru was shocked. The chunin nodded while still stunned, "Yes. They entered the tower after only 47 minutes!"

Tsume was stunned. The record was broken by almost 5 hours! She asked, "Which team was it?" The chunin replied, "It was Senju Renjiro's Genin team."

She thought for a bit and said, "I had heard rumors that Renjiro was training his team very hard. It seems that the rumors are true. I guess the beasts from the forests weren't an issue for them at all. Still, to beat Itachi's record is some feat. They can be proud of it."

She looked at the chunin and said, "Go and give them the instructions for the next 5 days." He nodded and left.

Genki was soon done with his boring explanations. His eye twitched when he noticed that none of the 3 genins were interested. After he was done, he asked, "Do any of you have any questions?"

Mieko asked, "Do we have to wait in the tower for the other teams?"

Genki nodded and replied, "Yes. I think they will send someone to explain the details."

Hoka didn't have any questions. Fujin thought for a bit and had a thought. He suddenly asked, "Sensei, you said we broke the record, right?" Genki nodded, "Yes."

Fujin asked, "So do we get any rewards?"

Sweat immediately appeared on Genki's forehead! He recalled the scene of Fujin asking the 3rd Hokage for swords made of chakra metal. He quickly said, "No, there's no reward for this. It might help you be promoted to chunin though."

Fujin frowned and muttered lightly, "The village is so stingy!" Genki heard it and thought, 'I don't think Lord 3rd will ever ask you to choose a reward again.'

Fujin, however, was thinking, 'At the end of this phase, Hiruzen will visit and give another speech. Should I ask for a reward then?'

While he was thinking, Genki said, "Well, that's all from me. I'll see you later." And he disappeared in smoke.

Fujin kept analyzing, 'If he says no then, it'll be embarrassing for him. To say no to promising youngsters who are working hard for their village, will hit his prestige. Though, he is thick-skinned enough to say no even then.'

As he was thinking, his eyes moved towards Mieko. He thought, 'Right! The elders and Uchiha have bad blood. He might give a reward to show that he is rewarding young Uchiha and is impartial to them. He might even hope that this reduces the bad blood a bit.

That said, if Genki is also present, should I still ask?' He thought and then shook his head, 'It doesn't matter if he's there or not. The dao of shamelessness should live on! Especially considering how freaking shameless they are. If he still says no, I will put on a sad face and act depressed.

After I become a chunin, I'll ask for those wind chakra metal swords that he promised me earlier.'

Mieko and Hoka noticed that Fujin was in deep thought. Hoka asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Fujin replied, "Oh, nothing important. What do we do now?"
