Naruto : The Wind Calamity

Chapter 606 - 600 : Cold Winds...



Chapter 606: Chapter 600 : Cold Winds...

"How long are you going to keep playing?" Anko asked in annoyance. She had been pestering Fujin to accompany her to the academy since the morning. However, Fujin had shown no signs of getting up. Instead, he just made a move.

Renjiro made his move as well and asked with a chuckle, "What's the rush, Anko-chan? There's still a couple of hours before the first round will be done."

Sitting next to him, Hoka added, "Yeah. Calm down, Anko. You have been restless since the morning."

Since Fujin had nothing to do, he had asked Renjiro and Hoka to accompany him to the tower in the Forest of Death. He just mentioned Hiruzen's worries and since neither of them had anything to do, they agreed.

As a result, Anko was outnumbered three to one, making her feel frustrated! She said with a flustered expression, "You! Alright, keep playing! Hmph!"

She began walking away when Fujin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Anko. I have already made the arrangements."

Anko was surprised. She wondered, 'He has been sitting here for the last few hours. What arrangements did he make?'

Unable to figure it out, she asked, "What arrangements?"

Fujin smirked and said, "Pretty cool ones."

The other three in the room stared at him with a deadpan expression. However, Fujin showed no intention of explaining anything. Finally, Anko's shoulders drooped as she slumped into a chair and exclaimed tiredly, "I give up!"

Fujin chuckled once again and continued focusing on the game while chatting with Renjiro and Hoka.

Over at the academy, things changed slightly due to Fujin's influence. Luckily, they weren't too drastic. The largest change he had caused was undoubtedly to Team 7.

Naruto was considerably stronger by this time than in the original story. He knew several Wind jutsus and had better control over his chakra. His confidence was higher as well. In addition, Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke were all considerably stronger physically as Kakashi had made their training significantly more difficult.

Due to his increased confidence, Naruto didn't challenge Lee when Lee challenged Sasuke. Sasuke fared better in his fight but still got defeated humiliatingly and would have been thrashed if Guy's summon didn't stop the fight. The trio met Might Guy for the first time as well and were shocked due to his eyebrows and speed.

Their interactions after entering the exam hall were more or less the same. They caught up with their old classmates before meeting Kabuto who gave them some information about the Chunin Exams. He also gave them details on a few strong participants like Rock Lee and Gaara. Eventually, he was attacked by the squad from Hidden Sound before Ibiki appeared in the room and began the exam.

Ibiki's exam was the same. The first part required the participants to copy smartly. Even though Naruto had become slightly more intelligent, he still couldn't figure out the meaning behind the test and refused to copy Hinata's answers due to fear of being caught and eliminated from the exam.

While the exam was underway, Fujin looked towards the clock and muttered, "It's almost time."

Anko's ears perked up hearing his words. She got up and asked, "Finally! If we leave now, we might still be able to make it to the academy in time."

Fujin nodded and said, "Hmm... Why don't you move ahead, Anko? I'll meet you outside the Forest of Death."

Fujin's words confused her. Having interacted with Fujin for the past few days, Anko had realized that Fujin was quite eccentric. She suspiciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Fujin chuckled and replied, "Just what I said. Why are you hesitating?"

She continued looking at Fujin suspiciously, but he didn't give her any hints. She began walking while cursing under her breath, "If you don't come soon, I swear that I'll make Hokage sama change the proctor in the middle of the exam!"

Her words were just loud enough so that the three of them could hear. She left quickly. Renjiro and Hoka looked at Fujin, who nonchalantly continued playing the game.

Neither understood what he was up to and Fujin didn't bother explaining. Finally, Hoka couldn't take it and asked, "What game are you playing?"

Fujin looked at him curiously, pointed towards the board and answered, "Shogi. Is there an issue with your eyes?"

Hoka snorted in annoyance and asked, "Do you want to annoy everyone? You know what I mean. Why aren't you following her?"

Renjiro added, "I know it is only a temporary appointment, but you shouldn't take it so lightly. The old man must have a reason to make you the proctor. It wouldn't be good if something happens and you aren't present."

Fujin looked at Hoka and replied, "I don't know. It's kinda fun to annoy others, haha."

He turned his gaze towards Renjiro and said, "Don't worry, I have truly made the arrangements. If anyone intends to create trouble, then he or she will be very sorry. Unless it is a rank S ninja of course."

Seeing Fujin's confidence, Renjiro said, "It's fine as long as you have the confidence."

The two of them continued playing. Meanwhile, Hoka wondered, 'What arrangements did he make?'

He activated his Byakugan, but couldn't find anything in the tower or the forest. Anko travelled through the Forest of Death while still cursing Fujin. She muttered, "This brat! Why do I feel that he still hasn't left the tower?

Why did Lord Hokage appoint such a brat as the proctor? Did he even pass the Guidance Hall proposal or did he just get the credit? I can't make any sense of his actions!"

She exited the Forest of Death and landed in the area where they would later distribute the scrolls to the participants. Not even a second had passed when she heard, "You should train more seriously, Anko. I have been waiting here for you forever."

Anko was surprised. She turned around and saw Fujin sitting in a chair with a book in his hands as if he were on vacation. She exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here before me? I didn't sense anyone passing by me!"

Fujin raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "That's all the more reason for you to train more seriously."

Anko was dumbfounded by his response. Seconds later, she became irritated and cursed internally, 'What the fuck? I can swear that no one passed by me! I don't care what reputation he has as the Spectral Swordsman, no one can sneak past me so easily.

Also, if he ran past me, why doesn't he look tired? There isn't even a drop of sweat on his body!'

The more she thought, the more irritated she became. Knowing she'd be teased by Fujin if she asked about it, she changed the subject and said, "Whatever, let's go to the academy."

Fujin raised his eyebrow again and asked, "Why?"

Growing increasingly irritated, Anko asked aggressively, "What do you mean why? Who'll inform them to come here?"

Fujin waved his hand dismissively and replied, "Eh, I'm not running to them. It's more fun to see them come running here. Hmm?"

Fujin suddenly disappeared from the chair and appeared very close to Anko who was growing increasingly annoyed. Anko was surprised as she noticed Fujin observing her very carefully. She asked, "Wha..."

Before she could complete her question, Fujin asked with 'worry' on his face, "Are you fine, Anko? I didn't notice it earlier, but you have been looking flustered and agitated all day. Even your cheeks are slightly red. Should I examine you? I'm a trainee Medical Ninja."

Fujin's fake worry once again annoyed Anko. She cursed, 'This fucking brat! I want to beat him up so damn much!'

She snorted and turned around, moving away from Fujin who just chuckled in response and went back to his chair.

Back in the academy, Ibiki put forth the rules of the last question. Hearing that they would never be allowed to take the Chunin exam if they failed to get the answer right, many quit. Only 78 Genins were left when Naruto had his little outburst, which raised the confidence of the remaining participants.

Ibiki looked at the remaining participants and announced, "Good call. So, everyone who is still here... You've just passed the first exam!"

Ibiki's announcement shocked every participant still in the room. They quickly asked their queries as Ibiki patiently explained the reasoning behind the test and gave them valuable lessons. With a smile on his face, Ibiki ended by saying, "Part one of the chunin selection exam is now concluded. I'll pray you fight the good fight."

Needless to say, everyone was pleased to hear Ibiki's explanation, none more so than Naruto. A smile was present on the faces of all 78 participants when they suddenly felt a chill. Even the examiners keeping an eye on the Genins felt a chill.

Except for Ibiki, who guessed accurately, every one of them became alert. Naruto muttered, "How did it get so cold all of a sudden and what's this wind?"

Next to him, Hinata shivered slightly due to the cold.

Sasuke had a frown on his face as he wondered, 'What is this chakra I am feeling?'

Even Gaara was surprised as he wondered, 'What is this chakra? Why am I getting such a dangerous feeling from it?'

Temari, Kankuro, Lee and others in the room wondered the same thing and prepared themselves. No one in the room had ever experienced such a chakra. Even the Chunin examiners got up.

'Byakugan!' Neji activated his Byakugan and was immediately shocked. He wondered, 'What the hell? This chakra has invaded the entire room!'

A ninja wearing the Hidden Grass headband became amused and looked at the front of the room as he thought, 'Such a high-quality Yin and Wind chakra. Interesting...'

At the place where he was looking, the winds began flowing and taking a form!
