480 Chapter 474 : 1 Person, 3 Identities
[A/N: A couple of points
I kinda underestimated the amount of work that would be needed to create an organization. As a result, quite a few chapters were needed to complete it. Going by the comments (not just the recent ones), I can see that there are many who don't want an organization. Unfortunately, this organization is something that I had decided on very early on while creating the plot and will be playing a very important role in the future events. So, it isn't something I could change without completely messing the plot that I have planned out. For the ones who aren't very interested in organization building, I'd recommend taking a break for a couple of weeks and just reading briefly through it (can continue from chp 486). Would honestly prefer if the comment section isn't again filled with asking me to skip past this arc as it is extremely discouraging for a writer to see that in every arc.
Secondly, my chapter length on average is 1.5k words. I do go around 1.7-1.8k in some rare cases, however it is extremely draining for me to do so regularly. Even maintaining the 1.5k words per chapter is extremely taxing to do. If such a chapter length is a turn off for you, I can only recommend reading every other day so that you can read 2 chapters in one go. If that's not cool either, then unfortunately there isn't much I can do about it. Apologies for not being able to live up to what your expectations are.]
Fujin held the ninja and entered the Void Dimension along with him. Once again, he felt the pressure. He used his chakra to resist it. At the same time, he also used his chakra to help the rogue ninja resist it. The rogue ninja was finally able to stay in the Void Dimension. He was confused as he couldn't sense anything at all for a second. It was as if all his senses had been shut down.
After verifying, Fujin stopped resisting and immediately returned back to the Land of Fire. He didn't want to exhaust a major chunk of his chakra for no reason. He analyzed, 'The scroll was right. I need to help whoever I bring into the Void Dimension resist the pressure there.
Of course, once my speed of teleporting increases, I won't need to resist pressure as I can complete the process in an instant. That said, bringing others with me will increase chakra consumption. The additional chakra I'll need will depend on the number of people I'm teleporting, their chakra levels and whether they are resisting or not. Teleporting a Tailed Beast that doesn't want to be teleported will likely be impossible for the time being. Sigh, how much chakra did Minato have to teleport a complete Kurama?'
Fujin stopped thinking about it. There was no point in comparing himself with Minato. After all, Minato was already dead while he was still alive and kicking. He looked at the three rogue ninjas in front of him. Though he was done experimenting with the Flying Thunder God jutsu, there was still another experiment he wanted to carry out.
Fujin applied the Phantom Seal on the three of them and tested it out to confirm that there was no issue with the seal. After some time, Fujin thought, 'Alright, it looks like there are no issues with the seal. Now, time to test the kill switch.'
Fujin made the confrontation hand seal and activated the three seals. In an instant, the brains of the three rogue ninjas were destroyed! Fujin nodded in satisfaction and followed up with his usual ritual of destroying and cremating the dead bodies and burying the ashes deep in the ground so that even Edo Tensei wouldn't be able to revive them.
He continued the journey. He completed the missions he had accepted within a couple of days while also testing out the Phantom Seal on the rogue ninjas he was supposed to eliminate. Needless to say, he had also left hundreds of Flying Thunder God marks between Konoha and the Land of Grass. Instead of returning to the village, he moved south and headed past the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain to move towards the Land of Rivers.
En route, Fujin changed his appearance to that of Shiden, the identity that he had used when he met Shigeki. He thought, 'I overlooked one aspect earlier. I was initially planning on using this Shiden identity to fight under disguise. However, Shiden will be the leader of the Phantom Haven Society.
If my targets link Shiden to the Phantom Haven Society, then it will be destroyed in no time wasting all the time and effort I'd be spending on it. It means that I can't use this identity for those purposes. I'll need a third identity as well. That identity will mostly fight with the Lightning element. In that case, what should I use to fight while I'm Shiden?'
Fujin fell into deep thought. While he had learnt a range of jutsus, there was only so much he could hide while still maintaining his strength.
Fujin thought for a while before sighing and deciding, 'There are very few options. I can't use my Vacuum jutsu. That is a dead giveaway. Even with Lightning, I'll have to avoid overlaps and I can't use the same fighting style. It means that I can't use my strongest jutsus and my most effective tricks.
Flying Thunder God is also out of the question. Hiruzen will link it to me. Even if he dies, I'm not sure if he told anyone about giving me this jutsu. If Shikaku knows, he can link it as well. However, once my range increases, I can pretend to be using Reverse Summoning to get away and I can do so with all 3 identities.
Without Wind and Lightning release, my swords won't be very effective either. However, using chakra flow should be fine. That said, I'll need new swords for Shiden and the third identity, especially for the third identity.
I wonder if that Noble in the Land of Frost still has that chakra metal sword. His family's book on the incomplete research about merging Wind and Water to create Ice Kekkei Genkai has been useless to me so far. Oh well, guess I'll steal it later. If he doesn't have it, then I'll have to pay a visit to the Land of Iron, either to make new swords or steal old ones.
If I had created a Kekkei Genkai, then I could have given it to this identity. After all, it is unlikely that an Elemental Kekkei Genkai will add much to my strength. If I had the Swift or Scorch Kekkei Genkai, then I could have used them to enhance Shigen's power. Unfortunately, I don't have either of them.
Anyway, without all these options, I guess the only thing that is left is Fuinjutsu. After all, my Fire and Earth elements kinda suck. Though I am known to be a Grandmaster in Fuinjutsu, not many know what my skills are.
As long as I don't use the Explosion Seals I used against Juzo and Kakuzu, it'll be hard to link it to me. I can use the Self-Cursing Seal and the Chakra Suppression Seal liberally in my fight to restrict my opponents. Those will be the main skills of Shiden.
Of course, that will be backed by my speed and strength. I'll use the Body Flicker jutsu for movement. For defense, I'll use barriers along with Iron Skin jutsu and Earth Wall jutsu. I'll use the Samurai Saber Techniques with my swords once I get new ones. Perhaps I should add a Fire jutsu for an AoE attack. I suppose Searing Migraine jutsu should be sufficient. Using some Genjutsu is fine as long as I avoid the Bringer of Darkness and Wind Style Genjutsu.
This should allow me to deal with Elite Jounins with some ease. As for stronger rank S ninjas, I can only hope to fend them off with Fuinjutsu and make the fight a stalemate. Without Assassin's Rush jutsu, I won't be able to get an advantage in speed. However, unless I'm facing the Raikage, I doubt anyone could use speed to defeat me either.
That said, with so many restrictions, it's best if I don't fight with Shiden identity. Especially against the ones I have already or will fight in the future. I'll only fight if the base is at risk. Even then, I'll hide behind a large number of seals and use them in the fight.
The only reason for me to display my strength should be if an unruly rank S was raised through the Phantom Haven Society. Though I can use the Phantom Seal to suppress such a person, I don't want to follow the Hyuga model. Though effective in maintaining control, it is terrible in terms of morale and mentality. No matter how loyal, no one would want to place their lives in the hands of others.'
Fujin understood clearly that the real effects of the Phantom Seal should never be exposed to anyone. As for suppressing a rank S that might arise in the future, Fujin wasn't concerned. After all, he was still growing as well. The Phantom Haven Society wouldn't be able to raise a rank S ninja out of thin air. By the time such a ninja appeared, Fujin believed that his own strength would be at an entirely different level.
Engrossed in his thoughts, Fujin, using Shiden's disguise, entered the Land of Rivers and moved towards the cave where he had left Shigeki. He couldn't help but wonder if Shigeki was still waiting or had already left.
