Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 279: The Difficulties in Creating an Organization



Luckily, Fujin was wearing a mask while talking with him. Otherwise, no transformation jutsu could have hidden how embarrassed he felt while answering those questions. Fortunately, he was shameless enough to maintain a straight voice.

Fujin sighed and muttered, "It doesn\'t feel good to fool a man who is in so much sorrow. Leave it, I\'ll help him get his revenge. That should be enough to clear whatever is still left of my conscience. Besides, the target is just an elder from a small village. I can assassinate him even now.\'

Fujin began walking towards the Land of Fire while thinking, \'I haven\'t thought of any details when it comes to my organization. My original motivation for creating an organization was very simple. If something unexpected happens, especially if that something isn\'t aligned with what I remember from the original series, and I need a safe place to escape to, then the organization should be my second home.

The situation after fighting Darui was a perfect example of where an organization could have helped me a lot. It would have provided me with a third alternative which would be much safer than the other two. In addition, the organization could help me collect information. It could also help in collecting rare materials like Elemental Crystals or perhaps even chakra metal.

But, this isn\'t enough. An organization needs to have a goal. If it is completely centered around me and my needs, then the organization wouldn\'t last long. It needs to have a goal to bind everyone together. And that goal also needs to complement my needs somehow.

In addition, I also need to decide on the structure of the organization, the chain of command, how much authority people would have at each level of the organization and so on. And most importantly, I need to have a method to control the people in my organization.

A human\'s dream is never-ending. Even if I rescue someone and provide them with a good life, he or she would only be grateful for a certain period of time. After that, they will begin wanting more. It\'ll be fine if I am at the helm of the organization. I could consistently brainwash them to keep following me. Unfortunately, I can\'t monitor them actively as I will be in Konoha. I\'ll need another method.

Orochimaru controls his subordinates through the curse seal. Danzo uses the cursed tongue eradication seal. As for Akatsuki, Pain is just too strong while Zetsu is the best scout. So no one will dare to oppose them. That said, despite their strength and skills, Orochimaru still betrayed them and Itachi stayed as an undercover agent.

I doubt I could be a bigger deterrent than someone with Rinnegan. So I will need to create a curse seal to put some restrictions on the members of my organization. Otherwise, I\'m better off without an organization. And I can\'t copy a seal from the Konoha library. There is no way Hiruzen and Danzo wouldn\'t be able to negate every seal in there. Sigh, so much work. That is why I have been so reluctant to actually implement this idea.\'

Fujin continued on his way as he muttered to himself, \'And this is just a basic problem. After all, I could resolve these issues by myself. The most critical issue is recruitment! Who should I recruit in the organization? I stay in Konoha. So I can\'t just recruit little kids like Orochimaru did and train them personally.

I need some Jounin level members to look after the organization while I am not there. It\'d be best if that person is at Elite Jounin level so that they can handle any unexpected events while I\'m not there. Unfortunately, I don\'t know anyone like that who I could recruit. Almost all of them are loyal to their village or too volatile to be trusted.

There might have been some suitable ones shown in Naruto. Unfortunately, I can\'t recall anyone. Apart from the important events and some resources, my memory from my previous life is just too vague. Sigh, I guess I will have to just wait for events like today. If Shigeki trains seriously, then perhaps he could reach the Elite Jounin level. That\'d probably be the best.

Anyways, I\'ll leave this issue for the future. Regardless of whether I build a good organization or not, it won\'t be much use during the 4th Great Ninja War. So I don\'t need to waste much time or effort on it until then. I can wait till I learn the Flying Thunder God and then begin considering this matter seriously. With teleportation, controlling an organization will become much easier.\'

As he kept thinking deeply about this matter, Fujin entered the Land of Fire and reached Konoha the next evening. He went directly to Hiruzen\'s office and knocked on the door.

Hiruzen was about to wrap up his work and leave when he heard the knock. He said, "Come in."

Fujin entered. Hiruzen was surprised. He asked, "You are back so early?"

Hiruzen thought, \'The news regarding the burning of the Provision Depot came just a few days ago. I expected him to create more chaos. Even if he didn\'t, the deserts would have been heavily monitored. How did he return so quickly?\'

Fujin nodded and said, "Yeah, the place got very messy. It\'ll probably be better to call Commander Shikaku here. I have a lot of critical information to report."

Hiruzen got the hint and looked at the Anbu ninjas hidden in the room. They nodded and immediately left. 3 stayed outside the room and kept watch while the last one went to call Shikaku.

Hiruzen took a look at Fujin again and thought, \'Now that I think about it, he had said that his summon could fly. I almost forgot about them. If he flew over, then it would make sense why he returned so quickly.\'

Hiruzen asked, "So, how was your trip?"

Fujin replied, "Not bad. I mostly stayed in Wind Capital. The city is much better looking than Fire Capital."

Hiruzen nodded and said, "Yeah. In terms of beauty, it ranks second after Lightning Capital. Do you wanna visit it next?"

Fujin thought, \'This old fox! It hasn\'t even been 5 minutes since I entered the village and he already wants me out?\'

Meanwhile, Hiruzen also looked at Fujin meaningfully and thought, \'Ever since he left, the consumption rate of the Wind Crystals dropped several times. Though there were quite a few Anbu who left around that time, he is the most suspicious one!\'

Fujin immediately shook his head and said, "Such missions don\'t suit me, Grandpa. It\'s the first time since I joined the academy that I haven\'t trained for over 2 months! My body feels so out of tune and unresponsive. I\'ll stick to elimination missions."

Hiruzen let out a chuckle and thought, \'If he is indeed the one who uses them so much, then it\'s no surprise that he has no will to leave the village.\'

Hiruzen casually inquired about random stuff until Shikaku arrived and closed the door.

Shikaku looked at Fujin and recalled the reports he received a few days ago. His expression became very peculiar. Hiruzen made a hand seal and activated the seals in the room. No one could eavesdrop on them anymore. He looked at Fujin and said, "You can report now."

Fujin nodded and became serious. He asked, "Did Kakashi-senpai report the mission to eliminate the bounty hunters?"

Shikaku nodded and said, "He did. Just report about your activities in the Land of Wind."

Fujin nodded and began reporting, "Alright. I infiltrated the country and found a Trading Caravan. It was from the Land of Bird and protected by 4 ninjas from a mercenary group called Kurogane no Sensen. I eliminated them and infiltrated the Wind Capital City using their disguises.

Under that disguise, I eliminated 10 Nobles on the list of Nobles that were very loyal to Sunagakure. All of them were eliminated using Wind Sword jutsu. I also killed a few Samurais and left a couple injured so that all suspicions will fall on Suna.

I followed it up by killing family members of 12 other Nobles who had good relations with Sunagakure a couple of weeks later. This was done while using the disguises of the Suna ninjas who came along with the Elite Jounin Baki to investigate the previous killings. And I let the Nobles see me and threatened them.

Both these acts increased the resentment towards Suna among the Nobles considerably. Though you\'ll have to check the degree of resentment with the use of other spies.

Unfortunately, that forced the fourth Kazekage to come to the Wind Capital city. He had a long meeting with the Wind Daimyo. I am not sure what deal they reached. So I decided that it won\'t be a good idea to act once again as it might have destroyed the situation I created."

Shikaku and Hiruzen nodded. They were aware of these developments. Though they didn\'t know the exact information, they had guessed Fujin\'s actions quite accurately. Unfortunately, they didn\'t have much clue about other events apart from the incident about Provision Depots. Neither was prepared for what Fujin was about to report!
