Naruto: The Wind Calamity

After explaining all the details regarding how to raise the kids, Fujin added, "The two places I said that you shouldn't try to modify are this library and the meditation center. I have inscribed several seals in the meditation center, making meditation much more effective than normal. You will have them practice the Leaf Concentration exercise in the meditation room. You guys can use it for meditation as well.

As for this library, I have stored hundreds of scrolls in here to help the kids. They cover almost every field that a student needs. There will also be some stuff that you might find useful."

Once again, everyone was surprised. To build a library that covers every aspect and could even help the veteran ninjas… It implied that either the person who built the library was incredibly knowledgeable or that he had stolen the scrolls from the library of a hidden village!

Needless to say, Fujin had copied most of the information from Konoha's library. That said, he was extremely careful about it. He had only copied a very small amount of scrolls and he focused on the jutsus that were commonly used in every major village to ensure that no suspicions would be cast on him and no members would be able to guess where he came from. He didn't copy any jutsus that were only used by Konoha ninjas.

The place where Fujin and the rest were sitting was just the lobby. There were several doors surrounding it. In addition, there was a staircase going to the underground floors. Fujin pointed at the doors one by one and said, "This room has a range of rank E jutsu scrolls in it. It covers all elements.

This room has rank D jutsus. This room has basic information on other fields, such as Fuinjutsu, Sensor, Medical Ninjutsu and some other basic stuff. That said, I couldn't get a lot of scrolls on medical ninjutsu. Hayato, since you are a healer, you will be tasked with going through the available information and adding more if you can."

Hayato nodded and said, "Leave it to me."

Fujin continued, "As for the last room, it is empty for now. Everyone, including the students you recruit, can access any scrolls on this floor. However, the underground floors will be restricted as per ranks.

The first underground floor has several rank C jutsus and can be accessed by Field Agents. The second underground floor has several rank B jutsus and can be accessed by Captains. Above the Captain ranks are Commanders and above them are Special Elites. Commanders can access the third underground floor which currently has very few rank A jutsus. Special Elites can access the last underground floor which is supposed to have rank S and forbidden techniques but is empty as of now.

While I won't be here to monitor the library, I have inscribed several seals that will keep track of who uses which floors. I hope that none of you or the ones who you recruit break these rules.

That said, there is no need to be extremely strict with this. For instance, if a captain feels that a particular rank B jutsu will be extremely useful for a field agent, then he can teach the jutsu to him or ask Shigeki to allow him to read that scroll.

Similarly, students who show excellent talent can either be rewarded with a visit to the first underground floor to select one jutsu or the teachers could directly give them the jutsus that could help them become much stronger. The same applies to all ranks.

Another important aspect is that I alone can't completely fill up this library. So, if any of you know a jutsu that isn't in this library, then you can create proper scrolls for them and add them to the library. For example, I'm sure that the number of water jutsus in this library will be far inferior to what you had access to in Tanigakure. So, you could add those water jutsus in the library. This would help us slowly improve the library and make it as good as the ones in the major ninja villages."

Everyone pondered on Fujin's words. After some time, everyone nodded in satisfaction one by one. Even though Fujin had restricted access depending on the ranks, he still provided everyone access to several jutsus. They just needed to see if there were any jutsus that would be helpful to them. Not to mention, Fujin still had left a way for them to get access to higher-level jutsus.

In a manner of speaking, all of them were getting a lot of benefits from Fujin without having contributed anything. Fujin knew about it. His initial plan was to introduce a contribution point system and only give the benefits once a member has contributed towards the growth of Phantom Haven Society.

Unfortunately, creating such a system was an extremely difficult task. Even more difficult was ensuring that the system was implemented properly. Without him personally looking over it, the system wouldn't have functioned properly and could have created discord among the members. As a result, Fujin decided to scrap the idea and directly gave the benefits.

Of course, it wasn't without its positives. It would help the members get stronger at a faster speed. And, it could even make them more loyal to Fujin considering how selfless he had been with them. On the other hand, there was a risk of them getting more greedy and trying to demand more from Fujin later on. It was why Fujin didn't entertain any demands of getting revenge.

After some time, Mitsuo asked, "How can we be promoted up the ranks?"

Fujin explained, "Just become stronger. Shigeki will be responsible for Field Agent and Captain promotions. Commander and Special Elites promotions will be handed just by me. Shigeki can explain the details later on."

Mitsuo nodded. The others asked a few more queries which were resolved by Fujin. Once all the queries were resolved, Fujin became busy in explaining how they could utilize the seals and barriers he had left in the bases.

He first showed them how to provide their chakra to the barrier to strengthen it in case there was an attack on the base. He taught Shigeki how to activate and deactivate the barrier for the main base. He spent the remaining day explaining to them about other arrangements he had left in the main base.

The next day, he did the same for the four mini-bases. He also provided Shigeki with several scrolls with instructions in case they forgot any details.

Finally, it was time to leave. Fujin had spent 12 days in the Land of Rivers. Adding the two days he had spent completing his missions, he had been away from Konoha for two weeks.

Fujin said, "I'll take my leave now. Shigeki, I'll leave this base in your capable hands. Once again, if you rescue or recruit someone, remember to only show them one of the mini bases. They will only be allowed in the main base after the Phantom Seal is applied."

Shigeki nodded and said, "Don't worry, I remember. Could I know when you'll return?"

The last time Fujin had asked him to wait, he had to wait for close to 3 years. He was hoping that Fujin didn't repeat the same thing. Fujin could see his concern and answered, "I can't say for sure. If luck is good, then within 2 months. In the worst case scenario, I'll come to visit in around 4 months."

Shigeki nodded and said, "Alright. I'll take good care of this base until then."

Fujin nodded. He said, "Unlike last time, I won't leave you without any means of communication. Here, take these."

Fujin handed Shigeki several tags with different colors and said, "These tags can be used to convey certain messages to me. You just need to insert your chakra into them. The green one will convey that you have recruited a group and brought them to one of the mini bases. The blue one will convey that one of the mini bases has reached full capacity and you start using a second mini base. The golden one will convey that you are facing financial issues. The purple one will convey that there is an argument among the members of the Phantom Haven Society that you can't resolve. The orange one will convey that the Phantom Haven Society is facing danger while operating outside. The red one will convey that the mini bases are under assault. And, the black one will convey that the main base itself is under attack."

Shigeki immediately understood the importance of the tags. He didn't understand how Fujin created them, but he didn't dwell upon it much. After all, Fujin was the only Grandmaster he had ever interacted with. The tags were made on a similar principle to the tag Fujin had created earlier which sent a message by bursting into flames. Only this time, instead of burning the correlated tag, it would just release some energy for Fujin to detect and form a symbol on it to indicate that the corresponding tag had been activated.

Fujin was satisfied with his response. He said, "Good luck."

In front of the 12 members of the Phantom Haven Society, Fujin disappeared. A look of surprise appeared on their faces. Mitsuo asked, "Was that Fuinjutsu as well?"

Shigeki shook his head and said, "No. His speed is otherworldly. I have never seen anyone move as fast as him."

The others were surprised that it was just pure speed. It made Fujin's impression even stronger. They decided to rest for a bit before starting what would be a rather arduous task.

As for Fujin, he turned around and glanced at the valley as he left. A thought appeared in his mind, 'Though I had initially just planned on creating a base here, this valley is perhaps my best killing zone! The number of Flying Thunder God Marks I left there is probably greater than the number of seals on my house. Once my teleporting range increases to around 15 kilometers, I can solo any army that dares to step inside here. Of course, that might also give away my identity. Oh well… I wonder if I'd ever use this killing zone…'
