Break - 1 Week
Added 2025-02-10 17:35:24 +0000 UTC350 chapters… Didn’t think Volume 6 would last so long, or I’d have broken it into smaller volumes. Regardless, it’s finally completed. Was planning to reminisce a bit in this post, but deleted most of what I wrote since there would have been several major spoilers for the ones who haven’t read the latest chapter 😅
Moving forward, we’ll be entering the 3-year timeskip period. As I have stated a few times, Fujin’s journey will continue during this time as well and several important events will occur during this time. Though there will be a few timeskips, they’ll be smaller ones as we had in the past.
Also, going forward, the story will be more fast-paced (or at least I’ll try to make it more fast-paced. Not sure how successful I’ll be in doing so. In the unlikely event that it becomes too fast-paced, feel free to ask me to slow down in the comments).
Anyway, I’ll be taking a week off writing for several reasons. I still have to plan the structure and timeline of the events that’ll happen during this timeskip. Though I have my initial plans, I have to make a lot of modifications to compensate for the changes I made mid-way. This will be my primary focus during this break.
The other reason is my health. Though my health has improved as compared to last week, I’m still sick. I’ll be focusing on getting back to full health this week.
Also, I have been quite exhausted from writing. To be honest, I should have taken a break much earlier, but I didn’t as I thought this volume would be completed long ago. I thought I could power through, but the exhaustion caught up in the last 2-3 weeks. That is why my schedule went all over the place once again. The break should help me rejuvenate and get back to full flow. Going forward, I'll likely take 3-4 days break between every major arc.
That said, this break won’t be like my previous ones. I’ll be posting daily, and these posts will help decide the future events to an extent. There will also be several polls, which will affect not just this, but my future books as well.
Take care and see you guys soon 🙂

2025-02-18 00:18:21 +0000 UTCHey, I was re-reading the Chunin exams and was reminded of something. In chapter 616, the following was written: { Fujin thought for a bit and said, “In that case, could you make me a sword equivalent to the Blade of the Thunder Spirit which Lord Second had created? If I can get a similar sword that helps in controlling winds, it'll be very helpful to me.” Hiruzen's left eye twitched again as he angrily thought, ‘Even 5 billion Ryo won't be sufficient for that!’ He immediately replied, “Unfortunately, that is even more impossible. Sensei had found the materials required to create the sword by himself. I'm not sure where and how he found those materials. Unless you have the materials that could create such a sword, no one can make one.” } Would it be possible for Fujin to find those materials needed during these next 3 years? I also expect that he will finally obtain Scorch Release at some point and that stories and rumors have been going around about him using it (and maybe also Magnet Release). If not about Scorch and Magnet, then at least some about his accomplishments and exploits. Maybe also some from Akuro and even from the Phantom Heaven Society. I also wonder if he will have started Senjutsu training or is about to start it after the timeskip. I just simply can’t wait and I know I won’t be disappointed.

2025-02-11 19:30:38 +0000 UTCAwesome work! Please take a long rest. Take as much as time you need! I'm a fan of your novel and writing! Was in my difficult times so I have to unfortunately cancel the Kage subscription months ago. But I'm on Webnovel, following the free version so.. while I'm not updated to the latest chapter, I think I can give you my opinion on the minor OC characters we've introduced so far, like his anbu teammates, especially that Anbu subordinate named Yamanaka Fumito. He's the only one who know Fujin eliminated Kumogakure bases (*at chapter 697) aside from Shikaku and Hiruzen (or perhaps Tsunade and Shizune from what I've seen from the names of chapters I haven't unlocked yet). Fumito admired Fujin greatly so I think he can help Fujin's Kiri orphans. I was told some minor spoilers that Fujin's buildings are similar to minor clan compound (+huge), has become an official faction at council session and got funding and resources ...so I think Fumito can be a liaison officer of Fujin's faction with the Anbu and Hokage office for procuring missions or something? I mean Anbu guards and Anbu trainers who guide and guard Kiri orphans will be absorbed into Fujin's faction. I suggest names like Kurokaze (黒風 meaning Dark/Black Wind), Fūjin-tai (which mean Wind God Unit, or could also mean Fujin's Unit, reflecting Fujin's name), or Kurobana (黒鼻 Black Flower), any names you like. Bunjiro and Tatsuya (*both are fellow orphans who lived in Fujin's compounds) is greatly indebted and feel grateful to Fujin (*chapter 596 - 597) so I guess they're the ones who manages the Fujin's faction in his absence. I mean Fujin faction will be similar to root but unlike Danzo's, it's uniquely different from it, Fujin as a leader of that official faction can independently issue missions and take missions or give with liaison from Hokage office or Anbu HQ (Just like modern intelligence community where different intelligence Agencies work together). This may make transfer possible between intelligence agencies and reasonable that characters like Hinoko ( * her Anbu name is Soku, the one who created Chakra needles jutsu and canonically already in Anbu at timeskip) because of their personalities and natures, will applied for transfer and joined Fujin faction. One from these individuals: Monkey, Bunjiro, Fumito and that Tatsuya can assume the temporary command in Fujin's absence and others can joined management together. Would be useful for Fujin, in addition to Phantom Haven Society. While Phantom Haven Society is independent and fully under the control of Fujin, that Fujin's official faction with Kirin orphans, (while not independent, but autonomous to some degrees which can be similar to Root) can be equally useful for Fujin. This can be a complementary plot device for future where he can face Danzo. Even without Fujin, the leadership of that faction (*could be them: Monkey, Fumito, Bunjiro and Tatsuya) will definitely doubt and track Danzo's action and moves like it's natural how intelligence agencies doubt each other. Looking forward to see that faction grown and of course, looking forward to see the growth of Phantom Haven Society too with Ranmaru (who is a natural genius who admired Fujin and could be an S rank Shinobi with uniquely strong dojutsu in timeskip) and Karin. I hope his students will grow up very strong and play major roles in Story too with how close they're to Naruto and are already good friends with him. Also, considering that, even before timeskip, it's evident in War, Sayaka, Takeshi, Yuji, Shoma and Hikari are all pretty skilled, intelligent, lethal and powerful even without their Kekkei Genkai. It was heartwarming to see those kids enjoying Ichiraku Ramen together with Naruto. Regardless, please have a long rest! Very excited and looking forward to your epic storytelling!

2025-02-10 23:53:46 +0000 UTCRead reverend insanity. Couldnt bear to watch the main character because of that haha But its a difference of taste. Its ok i also can appreciate the kind of character reverend insanity brought.. just personally i view it as a downside.
David Rafael Tamir
2025-02-10 23:28:52 +0000 UTCIf you have seen reverend insanity I don't think you think as you think And I don't know if you have seen the protagonist Fang Yuan how he can live alone without a problem, he uses others for his good and has a transcendental dream that transcends everything, he doesn't need trust in anyone he only needs trust in himself because he says it himself we are solitary islands that occasionally collide what we could call love, friendship trust but in short we are always alone and only the strong not only in power but also ne mentality they can live like this and do not consider that their life has no meaning in the case of Fujin his transcendental dream is to know everything and be more powerful to discover all the mysteries that await him and Fang Yuan immortality, I think that is how the author should see it but I respect your opinion too.

2025-02-10 23:26:46 +0000 UTCEven in the ninja world living a lonely life is too sad. He doesnt have to get into romance... he is also young. But blocking out the option and pursuing only power is a totally different thing. Just taking things as they come and not putting up a wall for everyone is already a big step. The way he treats people that fully believe in him with skepticism and lies like usual is not healthy. Being vulnerable is part of being human. Same as losing people. And weve seen in the original series how those things are the same in the ninja world just far more brutal... people will still be people. He doesnt need to change his strong worldview... but being afraid of making connections because it hurts when they break... thats a life that im not sure if worth living. Ofc thats just my personal opinion and i understand people might think differently But i think people should mature. And a great show should have great principles behind it. Leading a life full of treachery and schemes without a single person who u can leave ur back to is too cruel and hopeless even for the ninja world...
David Rafael Tamir
2025-02-10 22:40:58 +0000 UTCI agree with you but because you would want him to be like humans in this real world, in that world there is power, you can be more, because he should protect something, he cannot protect only himself, and romance is not necessary, in my opinion there would be no trust, he is too famous for him to tell his secrets to someone, personally I do not like that they say that he must grow as a person, that is, growing as a person is being vulnerable, others, I think it is very good as it is, it is my opinion.

2025-02-10 20:11:28 +0000 UTCThis novel is one of my favorite ones Im not the biggest fan of naruto.. especially as i grew up and around the war time i drifted away from the series and started giving more attention to other animes and mangas Didnt have that much interest in the ninja world as i do now for around 15 16 years... The character development. The dialogue and interactions. Its amazing I personally wish for Fujin to change a bit throughout the journey... its ok to want to focus on the ninja world. Its ok to not want to open ur heart too much... Its also ok to hold secrets in this dangerous world But people r still people. He should open up a little more. Get closer to people. Maybe even trust them more... maybe think about romance.. think about protecting without ultier motives. I want to see him experiencing more emotions. Thats my recommendation for u to focus on during this journey as a small trigger for a big character development. He is a good person we can clearly see that but sometimes in this dark ninja world a small ray of light can make a big difference and its refreshing to experience it from someone as smart as him and from an author as capable and smart as u. I want to thank u for this series Take all the time u need. Balance between work and life is important - we want u for the long run both for this novel and the ones after that All we need is clarity. If u need to do 5 chapters for a few weeks just let us know. If ure in a slump - tell us about it. And if lifes too busy - take a day off. Dont be too hard on urself - trust us because we trust u Good job man. If this was printed book i'd buy all volumes and recommend to anyone i know that likes this genre
