Chapter 852 : Returning to the Training Grounds!
Added 2025-01-17 22:47:54 +0000 UTC“Actually, I had another request.”
Tsunade, who was about to open the door, stopped. In order to help Fujin increase his cellular activity and learn how to control it, she had been with him since 7 in the morning. Even before that, she was making sure the room was still usable. She spent over 16 hours continuously helping Fujin. Yet, instead of letting her leave and rest for the night, Fujin mentioned that he had another request.
Tsunade turned around and asked, “What request?”
Fujin said, “I tried learning the Wild Lion's Mane jutsu some time ago. Unfortunately, I failed at the very first step. I couldn't grow my hair out. The scroll sadly didn't have any information on this, but I analyzed that it doesn't have much to do with how I knead my chakra. Rather, the growth has to be stimulated externally somehow. Do you know how to do it?”
Tsunade replied, “Oh, the Lion's Mane jutsu… Yeah, you analyzed it correctly. Simply using chakra won't allow you to grow your hair, though you could control its movement. Your body naturally limits hair growth through hormonal regulations.
To grow your hair, you need to first gain control of these regulations and then use your chakra to mimic the natural hormonal signals that stimulate hair growth. This process is temporary and your hair will revert back to your original state once the jutsu ends.
Under normal circumstances, this is quite a difficult jutsu to learn. However, it should be quite easy for you now that you have learnt how to control your cellular activity.”
A frown appeared on Tsunade's face as she asked, “Actually, even without learning how to control cellular activity, this isn't too difficult for a medical ninja. You should have figured it out yourself. When did you try to learn the jutsu?”
Fujin answered, “Around 5 years ago.”
A deadpan expression appeared on Tsunade's face as she stared at Fujin. Fujin chuckled, “I hadn't learnt Medical Ninjutsu back then. As such, I could only give up. To be honest, I completely forgot about it. I only remembered it today while learning how to control my cellular activity.”
Internally, Fujin thought, ‘Actually, I had thought about it while learning from Yoshi and the rest. It's just that I've never seen anyone other than Jiraiya use this technique. I guessed they wouldn't be able to help me with it and didn't bother asking… I would have still asked, but they looked like they would drop dead just by teaching me Medical Ninjutsu!’
Tsunade sighed, “Alright. Though it's easy, hormones can be tricky to mess with too. Let's meet here tomorrow at the same time. I'll teach you how to control them.”
Fujin smiled and said, “Thank you once again.”
Tsunade yawned and muttered, “Due to the sudden increase in your cellular activity, you won't feel sleepy today. Use this time to accustom yourself to the changes in your body. Don't train until your body calms down and you feel as comfortable with it as you did today morning. You don't want to accidentally overexert yourself due to carelessness.”
Fujin nodded at Tsunade and Shizune. Once they were some distance away, Shizune asked, “Lady Tsunade, you just became the Hokage. Is it alright to spend so much time away from the office?”
Tsunade seriously said, “Shizune, always remember this. The duties of the Hokage extend far beyond the office. Some things are far more important than handling official duties.”
Shizune was surprised. She thought, ‘I know Fujin is very important for the village, but I didn't think Lady Tsunade would give his requests such a high priority. She left all her duties behind to help him!’
Unknown to Shizune, Tsunade scoffed internally, ‘He is definitely beyond shameless! I'm afraid even Sensei loses out to him in this regard. That said, I can't say no to 2 days without paperwork. Doing this is far more enjoyable than being stuck with those endless piles of white paper!’
As she walked to the Senju compounds with Shizune, Tsunade decided, ‘I should increase Kakashi's cellular activity too. His chakra reserves are quite low for a ninja of his caliber. By comparison, Fujin…’
When she helped increase Fujin's cellular activity, Tsunade got a clear understanding of Fujin's physique and chakra reserves. To say she was surprised was an understatement. The fact she didn't react showed how professional she was as a Medical ninja.
Tsunade thought, ‘His chakra reserves were on par with mine when I was his age. After today, it's even higher. His current reserves are almost on par with Jiraiya's. And, he's only 17. He should surpass even me in the next 5 years or so.
If Sensei hadn't said Fujin's reserves were rather ordinary during his earlier years in the academy, I might have suspected him to have a connection with my or the Uzumaki clan… I didn't think it was possible for chakra reserves to grow so much merely from constant training. And, it isn't simply physical or ninjutsu training. He must have meditated for long hours to improve his spiritual strength.’
Yet again, Tsunade was amazed by Fujin's discipline and dedication. She couldn't help but think, ‘Maybe we should run a pilot project where young talented ninjas are made to train as hard as Fujin did. However, how can we ensure they stay motivated even after a decade of grueling training?’
Tsunade didn't have an answer to her question. Though there was another example of Might Guy, he wasn't exactly normal either. On the contrary, his training regimen was even more extreme than Fujin's regimen due to Guy focusing on a singular aspect.
While Tsunade pondered over that issue, Fujin returned to his house and entered the meditation room. He sat in a meditative posture and thought, ‘A 32% increase… not bad at all. However, the bigger gain today was understanding and gaining control over cellular activity. This will be very helpful once I start using my Myriad Tetragram Seal. I can now monitor and understand the entire process, which will allow me to detect any hidden dangers immediately.’
Fujin was very pleased. His gains were substantial. He closed his eyes and began circulating his chakra.
Fujin spent the entire night getting accustomed to the changes in his body. The next day, Tsunade taught Fujin everything related to growing and controlling his hair as she promised. Needless to say, Shikaku had to cover for her on both days of her absence.
Fujin spent the following day adjusting to his higher cellular activity until he was completely comfortable with it. The following day, Fujin returned to his training ground. He looked around and thought, ‘It's been quite a while since I trained here. Ever since the attack on the village, I have been busy running around. Fortunately, the last few days made up for all the training I missed.’
Fujin weaved the snake seal and concentrated chakra on his head, or more specifically, on his hair follicles. His pitch black hair slowly started growing, first making his spikes even longer before growing along his back.
Fujin thought, ‘The tough part is finally done. Ironically, it now feels the easiest. That said, I need to practice until my hair can grow at a faster speed. At much current speed, my opponent might fall asleep, not like that'd be a bad thing but still… In addition, I also need to remove the snake seal.
Neither is difficult to do. They just need some time. However, there is no emergency to master this jutsu right now. I can work on it later. For now, I'll simply learn this jutsu.’
Fujin's chakra suddenly flared before it began flowing through his hair. His hair continue growing while becoming harder at the same time. Every strand of his hair became like a steel wire. His hair circled around his body, protecting him from all sides.’
A smile appeared on Fujin's face as he analyzed, ‘Not bad, this jutsu is quite strong and very convenient. If my mid-range defensive jutsus fail, I can use this jutsu to protect myself while launching a counter attack at the same time.
It can potentially disrupt follow-up attacks while adding another layer of defense before I have to depend on my clothes and the Iron Skin jutsu. Hehe, I wonder who will make me show all the layers of my defense!’
Fujin already had a four layered defensive tactic for extreme situations. The first layer would be the Earth Wall jutsu or the Rashomon Gates, which could be multi-layered in itself. The second layer was made up by the winds of his Wind Domain.
If both these layers failed and the attack landed on his body, the defensive seals inscribed on his clothes would come into play. And, the Iron Skin jutsu formed the final layer of his defense. Now, he learnt a jutsu that formed another layer between his second and third defensive layers.
Fujin was about to experiment further when he suddenly stopped and turned his head. His eyes locked on Monkey, who was rushing towards him. Fujin's hair gradually retracted, reaching their original shape before Monkey arrived and reported, “Fujin-sama, there's a shocking news from the Hokage's office.”

2025-01-19 01:34:41 +0000 UTCI must have missed the part where it turned out that Sasuke always had feelings for Sakura. I always thought that he just took her as a wife to continue the clan. She was the most normal candidate for him. Firstly, he knew her for a long time. Secondly, she has feelings for him. And although Karin also fits these criteria, BUT Karin is a little crazy and I can’t imagine her as a mother. In the end, Sakura is loyal to Konoha, which is also a plus for Sasuke, who plans to protect Konoha.

Information Hierarchy
2025-01-19 00:17:02 +0000 UTCWell, he's quite a hermit, the fact that the need to socialize is emphasized so many times in the beginning that Fujin mentioned his need to socialize is something. Outside of that, he didn't have much female contact in the first place, and that his main female contacts are girls, it wasn't exactly motivating XD, at least one less bullet that other fics would take advantage of. Outside of that. If I had a personal taste for something like that it would be Anko. She has the excuse of the seals, and that she's currently the only summoner of the Ryuchi cave snakes. I'd say Mei could be something, but I don't know if the dialogues she has are because of her flirtatious personality or aspire to be something more, because she is someone who does want to get married, and it's kind of sad that something like that didn't happen in canon. In fact, the issue of couples in Naruto is quite strange, in every sense (apart from my personal hatred) because at least the children of clan leaders should continue having descendants, and that Kiba, Shino, are alone is weird. Rock Lee could have perfectly been single, although he was a romantic the fact that there doesn't seem to be a wife is strange. The issue of Gaara having an adopted son, is at least raising an eyebrow and less with a rather strange justification, in the novel he had. Let's say that the one he adopted had the iron sand. They could have easily used the filler character who was a bit like Gaara's apprentice. Outside of that moment of expressing my hatred for NaruHina and SasuSaku, seriously Hinata out of nowhere ends up being Naruto's first and true love, and Sasuke always had feelings for Sakura, what a story they invent that supposedly says that they are the ones who will take the girl when, and they won. Even when it is noted that only the girls' dreams were fulfilled and in the most dubious ways.

2025-01-18 22:42:06 +0000 UTCWith the possibility of controlling hormones it would be interesting to see him controlling his testosterone and other hormones to improve his strength, recovery and much more but will probably take to much time to invent himself, but I’d assume Tsunade have experimented with that and could teach him

2025-01-18 22:04:33 +0000 UTC@Dracule Newtgate I can see it already lmao. The opponent will be like, "what's the purpose of such a wide range jutsu...Oh Shit. BOOM"
kash_kxng
2025-01-18 21:25:28 +0000 UTCWould be really cool with some kind of barrier completely surrounding his body
Kelevra
2025-01-18 20:54:04 +0000 UTCId assume with some application of Fire chakra he could make the hair explode on contact with the needle jutsu. And with his supreme control of wind he could enhance the needle jutsu even more. I imagine him just landing in a crowd of people and just blowing hair all around him. Also I wonder if he can repurpose the Iron skin jutsu to make his hair even stronger. Also it would be cool if he could grow his body hair and not just the ones on his head that would give him one layer more between his skin and clothes. Maybe he could even control the hair on his hands and make spikes. It would give him surprise killing ability since strong enough Shinobi will sense his super strength technique.

Slade
2025-01-18 12:29:23 +0000 UTCI believe he can deflect a bijuudama with the rashamon gates, however if it comes past that, then no way his, Hair, Clothes and iron skin jutsu will be strong enough
Kelevra
2025-01-18 12:17:09 +0000 UTCIf Fujin has all his defense layers activated, can he take a bijuudama?
Thariaus
2025-01-18 11:51:16 +0000 UTCBro, imagine if each of his hairs was like paper bomb 😂 that would probably be more dangerous for him than for his enemies.
Dracule Newgate
2025-01-18 04:55:37 +0000 UTCOf course not, but I want him to at least comment on it, you know. Like "she's pretty, but I can't right now." Otherwise his next moniker will be 'Konoha's Love-proof Blade' or 'Konoha's monk' though I'm sure Kakashi and Guy would welcome him into their ranks. 🤣
Dracule Newgate
2025-01-18 04:51:02 +0000 UTCHe didn't tank it he made it disappear with space-time jutsu..fujin is not on that level yet

2025-01-18 04:20:22 +0000 UTCHexxx, seals in the hair, seals in the hair!! Maybe repurpose cloth binding seal technique to be compatible with hair and then just store a bunch in his follicles. Perfect hiding spot
kash_kxng
2025-01-18 04:12:42 +0000 UTCIt should've been after she and the other sanin faced off against Hanzo that they were relative to S-rank. By this time Tsunade was probably early if not mid 20's
kash_kxng
2025-01-18 04:10:15 +0000 UTCWell tbf, the main cast is 4 years younger than him and although I'm sure there are other beauties around, do you really think a mostly pragmatic guy like him would go out of his to interact with them for no reason? 😂
kash_kxng
2025-01-18 04:06:41 +0000 UTCI'm surprised Fujin has any hormones to control in the first place, given the fact that not a single Naruto waifu has been able to grab his attention in the slightest, I assumed he had no hormones. Either that or puberty hasn't hit him yet. 😅
Dracule Newgate
2025-01-18 01:15:06 +0000 UTCIn cannon she should have been under Under S rank. Not too sure about this fic tho. Also she's a senju, they lots of vitality and chakra, plus having chakra isn't enough to be S Rank, they also need the skills and experience
Slade
2025-01-18 01:13:27 +0000 UTCShould let Fujin put a modified seal on Kakashi's eye so he can turn the sharingan on & off. It'll help kakashi train better and get stronger for Shippuden. He can finally make use of his own talents and potential, expand his lightning attacks, make some new ones too. It'll help Sasuke too cause he'll see kakashi get stronger without relying soley on the eye, he'll see Kakashi the genius and drop his cocky attitude, He'll be more receptive to kakashi's training and will listen to him properly. Plus Sasuke would be reminded of his own brother when he See's just how much of a genius kakashi is. You can do the whole brotherly figure route and have him be a support system for Sasuke especially for Shippuden when Itachi dies somehow. blah blah blah
Slade
2025-01-18 01:08:10 +0000 UTCIf Tsunade had as much Chakra as Fujin when she was his age, does that mean she became S rank as a teenager as well?
Dracule Newgate
2025-01-18 00:56:33 +0000 UTCIs he going to go the Bayonetta route with his hair🤣 🤣 🤣

2025-01-17 23:39:55 +0000 UTCerwin araya, The news of the elders leaving the council would be shocking for ordinary villagers or newcomers, but for such high-ranking and experienced ninjas as Fujin, Kakashi, Sanin and others, it would be a slight surprise at most. But the truth about the Uchiha massacre and Itachi's return or something like that (a small group of survivors from the Uzumaki clan was found, or Shisui was alive and hiding all this time). That's what I would call truly shocking news. (This is my subjective opinion and it may not coincide with yours)

Yamir
2025-01-17 23:15:43 +0000 UTCFujin could add an extra layer of defense by making a seal that activates the "Four Violet Flame Formation" barrier or something similar upon contact with his skin. This barrier could be powered by the chakra stored in his Myriad Tetragram Seal. In case the barrier is broken, it could trigger a teleportation to his home.
