Sorry guys, won't be able to finish the chapter today. Would have loved to do a double tomorrow, but I'll be busy due to the painting work happening at my house. So, it's unlikely I'll be able to do so. So, I'll take a break today. Apologies once again 🙏
2024-12-16 22:52:32 +0000 UTC View PostNaruto shivered as he noticed Fujin's smile. He didn't doubt Fujin's words one bit! While he knew Fujin wouldn't harm him directly, he understood that what awaited him would be a training session more hellish than any he endured so far.
As he thought of what troubled him and how to say it, Naruto's energy unusually subdued and he slumped on the table. After a minute of silence, he final...
“In his absence, only the two of you can handle such an important responsibility,” Shikaku said to the elders.
Needless to say, if the number of children who applied for the Academy's Entrance Exam skyrocketed, the workload would skyrocket too. They would need to recruit more teachers, expand the infrastructure, and implement the new schemes that Fujin had proposed earlier.

[A/N: Sorry guys. For some reason, took a lot longer to write. Won't be able to do a double today, but I'll write tomorrow too since I technically had a break yesterday.]
As soon as he reached his house, Fujin entered the basement. Despite his returning to his home after nearly a month, a Shadow Clone was sitting at the center of the basement with a pot placed in front of him.
O...
“A Genjutsu cast on himself…” Shikaku muttered. He felt another headache as he thought, ‘Akatsuki… Everything about them is troublesome.’
He said, “That sounds like the forbidden Izanagi jutsu of the Uchiha clan?”
Fujin raised an eyebrow and asked, “Izanagi? What does it do?”
Even though Fujin knew very well what that jutsu did, he hadn't encountered ...
Shikaku was experiencing a tornado of emotions. For a moment, he didn't understand which of those emotions he should focus on.
Without a shred of doubt, Shikaku was extremely annoyed and frustrated. For two days in a row, his sleep was interrupted when there wasn't a need to disturb him. Jiraiya and Tsunade could have learnt from the Anbu ninja they sent to wake him that Konoha and Suna...
“Aaaaaaaargh!”
In the dead of the night, a blood-curdling scream escaped a locked room. Outside, two Konoha ninjas looked at each other, horror visible on their faces. Neither dared to utter a word but both had the same thought, ‘We were wrong. Ibiki-sama is a saint compared to these monsters.’
In front of them were 7 Genin-level ninjas. All were handcuffed and had sever...
Outside the Hokage's office, Naruto became increasingly agitated. Once again, he lost his cool and shouted, “It's been two hours! How long will they take? Sasuke needs to be treated immediately!”
Shizune muttered internally, ‘Here we go again.’
She tried to soothe Naruto once again, “It'll be over soon, Naru…”
Suddenly, the door opened and Tsunade and Jiraiya w...
For over a month, Ay tried every method available in Kumogakure to remove the pink color sprayed on his body. Unfortunately, nothing worked. Though the shade became slightly lighter, it was still very visible. He had to maintain Transformation jutsu every time he met others.
Of course, there were several instances when he wanted to rip his skin off. Unfortunately, something important wo...
Homura, Koharu, Hiromasa and Tsume had strange expressions as they thought about what Inoichi said. Sunagakure never learned what happened with their Third Kazekage. Even though they understood that the Fourth Kazekage was killed by Orochimaru, they didn't know how that happened either. They just knew the final result.
On the other hand, Fujin discovered clues about the Third Kazekage's ...
Arisa and several others understood they had no choice but to accept Hiromasa's terms. Even though the cost had truly surpassed what the Sunagakure Council had agreed upon, they would have to accept it considering the circumstances. It was just that it was humiliating how badly they were being manipulated, making them reluctant.
Hiromasa easily read their feelings as he glanced at the S...
“What is the information?” The Sunagakure ninja looked at Hiromasa attentively. They had a feeling that the information would be very important.
Hiromasa replied, “It is related to the mysterious disappearance of the Third Kazekage.”
The Sunagakure ninjas were surprised, though there were several reasons for that. For starters, they hadn't expected Hiromasa to mention th...
The Konoha side prepared themselves. As they expected, Sunagakure would fight tooth and nail to ensure that Konoha wouldn't have a say in who became their Kazekage.
Arisa said, “We can't give you a say in who becomes our leader. It's a strict no for us. However, we understand the points Suzuki Fujin made yesterday. As such, we want to offer you something that will be even more benefic...
Shikaku, who finally found a moment of peace, was suddenly disturbed. He glanced at Eagle and muttered, “I thought I said not to entertain any weird ideas from him.”
Eagle replied, “You did, but Renjiro said that Fujin will most likely attack Sunagakure if you don't get in contact. I thought talking with him now would be less troublesome.”
Shikaku's eyes twitched as he mu...
A few minutes earlier, a figure rushed through the vast deserts in the Land of Wind while Sunagakure dispatched several Anbu squads towards Aramachi town. Surprisingly, despite running for a long time, he didn't run into a single Sunagakure ninja. As he ran, he glanced behind and thought, ‘My Clone ran out of chakra nearly an hour ago. By now, Sunagakure should have realized something is off....
2024-11-30 18:48:17 +0000 UTC View PostSorry guys, won't be able to complete today. I'll take tomorrow's break today and continue at the same time tomorrow 😅
2024-11-29 22:36:52 +0000 UTC View Post“So this is the Land of Wind? The deserts seem to have no end…” Hoka muttered as he gazed at the Land of Wind.
Fujin asked, “Is it your first time here?”
Hoka nodded, “Yeah. I visited the Land of Rivers a few times for missions, but never the Land of Wind. What about you?”
Fujin casually replied, “A few times. It is pretty much the same throughout the country…” <...
It suddenly clicked in his mind and disbelief appeared on Orochimaru's face! A second later, he began laughing maniacally again! He said, “No wonder! It all makes sense now! I always felt that you leaving the village with such a deadly phobia and a young child was suicide. Even if you wanted to go, Sensei would never allow you to. Your clan wouldn't either. That means you should have cured yo...
2024-11-27 16:16:44 +0000 UTC View PostEagle chuckled seeing how worried Shikaku was and flickered away. Not wanting to entertain any more unconventional ideas Fujin might get and want to implement with his permission, Shikaku didn't bother communicating with Fujin by himself. He no longer wanted to discuss anything about this matter with Fujin.
Alone in his office, Shikaku thought, ‘His performance against Sunagakure and ...
“Then we have no choice. We have to count on Yura and Arisa. They are our only hope now!” Goza sighed tiredly.
Ebizo thought, ‘There is another hope. That is if Iwagakure and Kumogakure make a move right away after getting this news. Unfortunately, they won't do that. Even if they did, sending a message here would take several hours, something we don't have. Our negotiations have ...
The scroll fell from the hands of the ninja holding it. Everyone could see his hands shiver in terror. He wasn't the only one. Nearly everyone else was terrified! This was the worst-case scenario for Sunagakure! It was the situation they desperately wanted to avoid!
“Th… This… This is crazy!!! Will Konoha really attack us?”
“Shit! Has our mission failed? What will happen no...
“If you have any issues, feel free to take it up with Shikaku-san.” Fujin said dismissively. Koharu's expression became ugly. Homura's expression became dark too while the clan leaders watched in curiosity.
It wasn't the first time Fujin faced off against Koharu. On the contrary, he had done it every time the elders tried to go against him. Hiromasa analyzed, ‘As I expected, there...
“What in the fucking hell was that? First, they suddenly mellow down and start compromising on nearly everything. Just when the talks are going smoothly, that bastard just explodes and wrecks everything! Which fucking game are they playing at?” A Suna ninja let out his frustrations after they returned to their hotel.
Needless to say, the entire Sunagakure team was confused. The even...
The two sides started their negotiations just as they previously did. As Konoha predicted, Sunagakure was more resistant to their demands and slowed the talks. With Homura and Koharu easing up the pressure, the Sunagakure side gained more confidence and slowly started to test where Konoha's true limits lay.
Arisa observed, ‘Something is different. They seem far more patient and enduri...
Onoki felt Roshi and Kitsuchi's curious gazes and shook his head. He said, “You are looking too much into these proposals. An alliance between three nations can't happen within the blink of an eye. Not unless Konoha declares war against one of the villages and gives us an opportunity to attack. However, they're too smart to take such a risk. Besides…”
The two proposals on his desk...
The Wind Daimyo slowly spoke, “Since Konoha can't prove that the Fourth Kazekage wasn't controlled by Orochimaru and Sunagakure can't prove that he was, I propose we move forward under the assumption that the Fourth Kazekage was indeed controlled by Orochimaru.
In return, Sunagakure will accept responsibility for their actions. They'll accept the blame for launching an assault on Kono...
“However, you overlooked one important aspect.” The Sunagakure side tensed up as Homura and Koharu refused to accept their argument. Fujin suddenly sighed and muttered, “When I suggested we discuss civilly, I didn't mean you should lie through your teeth. Are you here to negotiate or did Sunagakure just promote two scapegoats to sacrifice?”
Yura and Arisa frowned as Fujin glanced...
[A/N: 800th chapter! Just 200 more to go to reach 1,000! Thanks for all your love and support once again guys. Couldn't have done it without you :)]
It hadn't been even a minute since the negotiations began, but the room was already tense. Homura's display unnerved most of the Sunagakure ninjas. Suddenly, Yura and Arisa riled their chakra to counter Homura's pressure.
Yura asked, “...
“Lady Arisa, Lord Yura, I checked the rooms. There aren't any seals keeping a tab on us.” The Sealmaster in Sunagakure's group reported.
After leaving the Daimyo's Palace, they were led to the second-best hotel in Fire Capital and settled there. Needless to say, they wouldn't blindly trust Konoha's arrangements and immediately inspected the place for traps and seals. While Sunagakur...
Before Sunagakure's negotiation team entered the fire capital, they were greeted with a completely unexpected sight. Though the path to the city was open, thousands of ninjas surrounded the path.
While they weren't as visible as the civilians in Fire Capital, they didn't bother hiding their presence. As such, experienced ninjas like Yura and Arisa and sensors could feel the vast amount ...
