Naruto: The Wind Calamity

The crowds cheered loudly. The semifinals were thrilling. They expected even more from the finals.

The ninjas however didn't expect much. They expected both the genins to have less than half chakra. It would be unlikely for Yumi to surprise them anymore, while Fujin hadn't used anything fancy.

Renjiro and Hiruzen, who knew Fujin's abilities, knew that there wouldn't be any suspense in this fight.

Fujin and Yumi looked at each other. Yumi's eyes were blue and glowing, while Fujin's eyes were as black as the darkest night!

Inoichi announced, "The final starts now, BEGIN!"

Expecting Fujin to start with Wind Explosion jutsu, Yumi moved backwards while making a few hand signs. However, Fujin didn't start with it. He flickered while making a hand sign!

Yumi was surprised. Fujin appeared behind her.

'Great Breakthrough jutsu'

'Water Wall jutsu'

Mieko recognized the seal and quickly created her water wall. Unfortunately, at such a close distance, it had no chance against it. The water did reduce its speed, but Yumi was hit by the jutsu.

She was hurled backwards flying. While landing, she dug a kunai into the ground to stabilize herself. Just when she had managed to stabilize, a kunai appeared in front of her. Yumi's eyes widened when she noticed the explosion tag attached to the kunai. She immediately jumped to her left.

Fujin noticed her dodge and flickered into his jutsu. Yumi didn't expect Fujin to enter into the dangerous winds that he had created. She was distracted by the explosion tag and had her eye off Fujin for a few seconds. Fujin used those few seconds to attack!

He suddenly flickered in front of her and attacked her with his kunai. Yumi was taken by surprise. She had no time to perform a jutsu. She raised her kunai to block him while trying to move away.

Their kunais clashed. And Fujin's kunai cut through hers with ease. Yumi had expected it and was already moving backwards. However, Fujin took a step forward as well and placed the kunai on her neck. The wind chakra around the kunai created a small cut on her neck.

He looked into her eyes and said, "Give up."

Unlike Mieko, Yumi had no confidence that Fujin wouldn't kill her. The fight had just begun and she was completely dominated. She didn't even have a chance to use any jutsu other than one barely formed Water Wall jutsu.

Fujin noticed that Yumi was thinking hard and pushed his kunai forward slightly. Yumi gritted her teeth and said, "I give up!"

Fujin stopped flowing chakra through his kunai and withdrew it and walked away.contemporary romance

Inoichi was surprised at how quickly the fight ended. It didn't even last a couple of minutes! He announced loudly, "The winner of the Chunin exam is Suzuki Fujin!"

Renjiro chuckled at the announcement.

The civilian audience was dumbfounded! As soon as Inoichi had announced the start of the fight, a strong wind flew through the arena! Inside the winds, they heard an explosion. And that was it! Even before the winds died down, Inoichi had announced the result! They didn't even get to see any fight! They felt cheated.

[A/N : Apologies for the chapter name. Couldn't resist, lol]

The ninjas too were surprised at how quickly the fight ended. And how one-sided it was!

Genma commented, "Well, that was quick!"

Ibiki nodded, "Yes. That was quick and efficient. If this was an actual battlefield, he would have killed her with ease."

Fujin noticed the crowd's discontent. He thought, 'If this was my previous world, I have no doubt that they would have thrown plastic bottles and trash into the arena.'

Hiruzen sighed, noticing the crowd's discontent.

An announcement was made by the announcer, declaring Fujin to be the winner of the final round of the Chunin exam.

Soon after, Hiruzen stood up and announced, "Last year, the record for the second phase of the Chunin Exam was broken. A squad from Konoha managed to pass it in 5 hours and 30 minutes.

However, that record was broken by the Genin squad consisting of Suzuki Fujin, Uchiha Mieko, and Hyuga Hoka. They completed the second exam in just 47 minutes!"

The crowd was surprised to learn that and cheered loudly. The Daimyos also paid attention to this announcement. After all, it signified that the younger generation of Konoha held promise.

Hiruzen continued, "As a reward for such an amazing performance, Fujin, Mieko, and Hoka will be taught one jutsu each by me!"

That announcement shocked a lot of the ninjas for multiple reasons. For one, Hiruzen hadn't taught anyone for a long time. Secondly, he was known as The Professor. It signified the tremendous amount of knowledge he possessed on jutsu.

And lastly, his dominance in the first and second ninja wars earned him the moniker of 'God of Shinobi!' To be taught by him would be a great honor for any ninja.

However, unlike the shocked ninjas, Fujin's eyebrows involuntarily twitched. He scoffed, 'What a cheapskate! This way he doesn't have to spend anything at all! And he gets to take a break from his boring paperwork under the pretense of teaching us!'

Fujin bowed as a sign of gratitude. However, while bowing, he realized yet another aspect, 'Wait! It's not just that. He just announced our achievements. And he announced Itachi's as well. This wasn't aimed at the crowds, rather was aimed at the Daimyos. This way, he will get more money and missions from them!

Damn! I thought I'd swindle a good reward from him. Instead, he has exploited us while giving token rewards!'

Fujin was shocked at how well Hiruzen had played! He got money, better missions, a break from paperwork and improved his reputation without making any efforts at all!

Hiruzen smiled as he looked at the shocked and amazed expressions of the crowd. The effect was exactly as he imagined. However, he would never know that the 11 year old genin bowing to him had analyzed all details of his small scheme!

Though, even if he did, Hiruzen would not react much and would give the boy to Shikaku to further improve his analyzing skills. A ninja who could see through schemes was always very handy to have. A ninja who could see through schemes and set up counter schemes to gain the advantage of the schemes cooked up by others is even more valuable!

After Hiruzen's speech, an announcement was made, bringing an end to the Chunin exams. The crowd began dispersing.
