Chapter 479: Phantom Haven Society
Chapter 479: Phantom Haven Society
Fujin desperately needed a better way of getting information. Konoha was obviously very good at it, however, Fujin had no control over it. Jiraiya\'s information network was the most famous, but all his findings would only be reported to Hiruzen. Hiruzen would only share the information with Fujin if saw any need to. Otherwise, Fujin wouldn\'t be able to access any information at all.
Danzo had his spy network as well, but he didn\'t even share his findings with Hiruzen unless he had something to gain from it. Fujin had no chance of getting access to it.
The only information network Fujin had access to was Anbu\'s information network. Even though he wasn\'t a part of the Anbu anymore, Fujin could still access it and did so every once in a while. However, once again, the information was filtered by the Anbu Commander. Information could still be hidden from Fujin.
Not to mention, there were limitations. If Fujin discovered some important information and decided to do something about it, it would be child\'s play for Hiruzen to link the related events to Fujin. If Fujin did something that harmed Konoha\'s interests, it would strain his relationship with Hiruzen and Hiruzen could restrict his access to intelligence.
As a result, having his own organization that gathered information would be very helpful to Fujin.
Another aspect was gaining some capable subordinates. While Fujin wasn\'t very interested in this aspect initially as he preferred to rely on his own strength, he realized the importance of having capable subordinates when he was trying to study Zankoku\'s dead body. If he had a subordinate like Kabuto, he could leave the task to him.
Even without someone as capable as Kabuto, having a few ninjas who specialized in Medical Ninjutsu could have helped Fujin a lot. As a result, if Fujin could raise some capable subordinates in each field through such an organization, it could make his life quite easier.
Though it was unlikely that Fujin could raise rank S ninjas before the start of the Fourth Great War, especially considering the fact that Fujin would be spending most of his time in Konoha, the organization had the potential to flourish once a power vacuum was created after Akatsuki\'s destruction and death of the majority of the ninjas in the next Great Ninja War.
Though Fujin hadn\'t completely planned out what he would do after the war, having this option would give him a lot of options and flexibility.
Unfortunately, all these reasons were extremely selfish. Who would like to be a part of an organization if these reasons were listed? So, Fujin needed a noble purpose and a dream. A purpose that people would be passionate to follow. A dream that people would be willing to give their lives up to achieve.
Thankfully, in the current world, it wasn\'t difficult to come up with a good reason. After all, the world was a complete mess. Only the major and the minor villages enjoyed long periods of peace in between wars. The people who didn\'t live there had an extremely difficult life. It would only take one unfortunate event for them to die or lose their family members and fall into misery.
In addition, Fujin knew the reason behind Akatsuki\'s formation. He knew what Orochimaru did. He knew how Konoha depended on the Will of Fire to rile everyone. He knew how Danzo trained the Root ninjas. So, he wasn\'t lacking in knowledge. The only question was whether Fujin could utilize the knowledge properly and implement the right plans.
Fuhin muttered, "I finalized almost every detail I could think of. I hope I didn\'t forget anything and what I thought of is sufficient to start it."
Though Fujin planned a lot, he was still not sure about whether he would succeed. After all, he had never tried anything like that. He decided to stop being worried about it and focused on his training once again. Four days later, Fujin accepted a bunch of elimination missions and began heading towards the Land of Grass.
Unlike the last time, Fujin didn\'t intend to use the bandits as test subjects for practicing memory reading. As a result, he moved very quickly while eliminating every bandit camp in his path. He continued the slaughter until he ran into a trio of rogue ninjas who were on his hit list as well.
In the middle of the forest, three middle-aged rogue ninjas were facing Fujin. All three looked quite similar to each other in terms of facial features. Their headbands showed that they were formerly from the Land of Rain.
One of them said, "Big brother. It looks like Konoha is now sending kids against us."
Another added, "Konoha has been trying to hunt us for 3 years. It\'s about time that we make them regret, hahaha!"
Fujin looked at the three of them like they were retards and thought, \'They are from Hidden Rain I wonder whether Nagato has already killed Hanzo. Oh well, time to see how it goes.\'
The three grabbed their kunais. The oldest one among them walked forward towards Fujin and asked, "Are you scared br"
Before he could complete his question, Fujin disappeared in front of his eyes. At the same time, the rogue ninja\'s arms also disappeared! It happened so quickly that he didn\'t even feel pain and just saw a red line. When he looked at his arms, he was horrified to see both of them sliced clean.
A horrifying scream escaped his throat! It scared away some of the animals and birds around that place. The remaining two rogue ninjas were just as shocked. Before they could react, both were in the same state. In fact, Fujin went a step further and cut off their legs as well to prevent them from trying to run away. They began screaming in horror as well.
Neither of them expected such a result. They looked up to see Fujin standing next to the first guy he attacked. This time, Fujin no longer seemed like a youngster in their eyes. Instead, he seemed like a terrifying and bloodthirsty demon! Their screams began desperate as they apologized and begged for mercy.
However, Fujin ignored them. He had already sensed the area and there was no ninja in the vicinity. He didn\'t care how loudly they shouted. Fujin thought, \'It\'s not bad to be ignorant, but people should at least stay aware of the reality. Don\'t go around threatening someone if you don\'t know who that person is. Though they would have still died, perhaps it would have been a little less dreadful.\'
The first rogue ninja looked at Fujin and asked in terror, "Who are you? What do you want?"
Fujin didn\'t say anything and instead placed his palm on his chest. In an instant, the rogue ninja disappeared from the Land of Fire and appeared in the Void Dimension! However, a moment later, he was ejected and appeared in front of Fujin once again.
A frown formed on Fujin\'s face as he analyzed, \'His chakra didn\'t decrease at all. On second thought, he barely stayed in that dimension for even a moment. I didn\'t seal his chakra because I wanted to experiment with this idea.
But why did nothing happen? Though he is barely at the Chunin level, his chakra is still higher than some of my Shadow Clones when they tried entering the Void Dimension. So, it shouldn\'t be a matter of strength. Is he so terrified that he can\'t resist, or is he incapable of resisting for some reason?\'
Fujin couldn\'t be sure. He sent the rogue ninja into the Void Dimension several times, but the result was still the same. Finally, he applied the Self-Cursing Seal on the rogue ninja and began reading his memories.
He realized, \'I see. It\'s not that he didn\'t try to resist. Rather, he did it and was still expelled from that Dimension. Even with his chakra, he couldn\'t resist the pressure at all. That said, it isn\'t the issue with the amount of chakra. I guess only the ones who have some level of mastery of the Space-Time technique can resist the pressure. I guess using this to drain chakra of enemies isn\'t possible either. A shame.\'
Fujin read his remaining memories before knocking him out. He tried sending the second rogue ninja to the Void Dimension as well, but the result was the same. He knocked him out as well after reading his memories. The third one was ejected as well. However, Fujin wanted to do one more experiment.
