บท 60: Chapter 59 : Rank A jutsu
Renjiro trained the trio for another month. This month, Fujin practiced supercharging his jutsus a lot.
He could now infuse 20% of his chakra into the Great Breakthrough jutsu in under 15 seconds. More importantly, he could infuse 5% of chakra into the jutsu in just over 2 seconds. This was usable in battle as long as he maintained some distance.
He also mastered Wind Gale Wolf and Wind Dragon jutsus and could now perform them without any hand signs. The ease with which he became capable of using these jutsus without any hand seals shocked Renjiro.
Fujin's Kenjutsu also improved a lot. All the basics regarding Samurai Saber techniques were taught to him. He could freely control chakra flow through his Samurai swords. He even managed to properly infuse his wind chakra through the normal chakra flow.
Renjiro couldn't help him much in this regard as he himself never added a Nature chakra to chakra flow. He specialized in Earth and Water elements, and neither were suitable to be added to chakra flow. Nonetheless, it was learnt with rather ease by Fujin. In fact, while learning it, he also learnt a technique that he had dreamed about performing for over a decade!
The team was given a day's break once again, which all 3 used to rest well.
The next day, in the morning, the team met up once again.
Hoka saw Fujin coming to the ground and asked, "Hey, how's the training progressing?" Fujin replied, "It's progressing rather smoothly, what about you guys?"
Hoka smirked and replied, "It's going very well. I want to spar with you once again."
Fujin smirked back and replied, "Well let's hope that you can touch me this time."
That annoyed Hoka, who begrudgingly replied, "Due to you, Sensei drilled me with Ninjutsu training for 3 months straight!"
Hearing that, Fujin laughed.
Mieko, annoyed at being left out of the conversation, butted in by snorting, "Hmph, I'll beat both of you at the same time in a spar."
Hoka and Fujin turned to her. Fujin replied, "Well, let's hope that you have some energy to spar after the morning workout then."
Hearing that, her shoulders immediately dropped, while Fujin and Hoka laughed at her expense.
The poor girl complained about the unfairness to herself, 'It's not as if I'm slacking on those workout sessions. It's just that every time I am about to reach Sensei's target, Sensei just makes it even more difficult!'
While Mieko was depressed, Renjiro appeared.
He announced, "We have trained continuously for the past 3 months. Next, we will be taking continuous rank C missions."
That instantly perked up Mieko. After all, missions would mean no more rigorous training! Hoka and Fujin also sighed in relief, as their bodies needed a break badly. Unlike Mieko who'd drop out early rather regularly, Hoka and Fujin gritted through the entire workout daily.
Renjiro continued, "Today we won't do any workout or training. Instead, you guys will spar."
This immediately gained the attention of the 3 genins.
Renjiro continued, "You three will fight out against each other in a three-way battle. You are not allowed to team up with each other unless the circumstances force you to. But I can disqualify you if you purposefully cooperate to defeat the 3rd.
The battlefield will be this entire training field. You guys have time from now till 6 PM to decide on a winner. You can defeat others by knocking them unconscious or making them give up. Obviously, I can interfere and declare someone to have been lost. And of course, you guys aren't allowed to seriously injure anyone. No soldier pills. And Fujin, no swords."
Mieko suddenly asked, "Why no swords for Fujin? Isn't that his goto weapon?" Hoka also nodded, as he had the same query. Neither of them wanted to win against someone who was handicapped.
Renjiro shook his head and said, "Fujin's way of using his swords is solely to kill. If he were to win by using his swords, you guys would be injured badly. Regardless, he is forbidden to use his swords in any spar with his colleagues."
They understood the reasoning but were still a bit unconvinced. Fujin butted in, "Aren't you two looking down on me too much? Sword or no sword, neither of you will even be able to touch me." And he smirked on saying that.
Hoka and Mieko looked at him irritatingly. Among the three of them, Fujin had the highest speed and excelled in fighting at long range. In the few spars that they had, they never managed to actually reach him.
Renjiro interrupted before they entered into an argument, "No more questions. My rules are final. Anyways, you guys didn't hear the exciting part. The winner will get a reward."
That once again attracted the attention of all 3. Mieko asked, "What reward?"
Renjiro replied, "The winner will be awarded a rank A jutsu by me."
That shocked the trio. They all had the same thought, 'Will he really allow us to learn a jutsu higher than rank C?'
Renjiro understood what his students were thinking. He smiled innocently and said, "Of course, I'll only give it to you when you are promoted to chunin."
Hearing that, all 3 genins gave him a deadpanned look.
Not wanting to hear any complaints from them, he shouted, "BEGIN"
Even before he completed the word, all 3 Genins flickered away in different directions without making any hand seals. Now, at more than 100 meters away from each other, they observed the other 2, while wondering how they should approach this.
The best way would have been to team up with one of the other 2, eliminate the 3rd, and then decide the winner. Unfortunately, that option was not available.
Suddenly, Hoka and Mieko noticed Fujin smirking. At the very next moment, he disappeared.
