Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Fujin looked at his new teammates and thought, 'I didn't think Yugao would be assigned under me. Shouldn't she be a part of Yamato's unit? Looks like my unit isn't made of newly selected ninjas. Makes sense I guess considering how many people Hiruzen recruited two years ago.'

He removed his mask and took a seat and said, "Take seats, make yourself comfortable and introduce yourself. I'm Suzuki Fujin. You can call me Captain or Haw… No, Turtle."

Fujin tossed his Hawk mask in the open box that contained dozens of masks while thinking, 'The Hawk mask along with my swords is just too well known. Fame is not good for Anbu missions. I need a new disguise.'

Fujin had seen a turtle mask at the top of the box. Wind suddenly began flowing in the closed room. The turtle mask soon began floating in the air and moved towards Fujin. Fujin grabbed it and said, "I specialize in Wind Release and Swordsmanship. I prefer ranged battles and using hit-and-run tactics."

Yugao and the blonde Anbu weren't surprised or impressed by Fujin's display. However, the third Anbu was quite impressed. He thought, 'That's cool!'

Yugao removed her mask and said, "I'm Uzuki Yugao. My codename is Neko. I am currently training in various Sword styles. I specialize in Wind release as well. In addition, I can also use a few Fire and Water jutsus. And I can sense up to a distance of 800 meters. As for the battle, I don't have any preference for tactics. I can adjust to any battle style."

Fujin raised his eyebrow and thought, 'Apart from Water jutsus, her skill set is almost identical to mine.'

At the same time, Yugao wondered, 'When Lord Hokage said that I could learn from my new captain, did he mean that I could improve my sword styles and wind jutsus by observing him?'

The blond ninja removed his dog mask and said, "I am Yamanaka Fumito. My codename is Inu. I specialize in Yamanaka clan secret techniques. I can sense up to 1700 meters. My affinity is Wind as well. My secondary nature is Lightning. I prefer hiding and sneak attacking the enemies."

Fujin nodded. Fumito looked to be as old as Yugao. Considering that they would have been ninjas for close to a decade, it wasn't surprising that they decided to learn more than one element.

Finally, the last ninja removed his mask. A smile was plastered on his face. Fujin felt that his face looked familiar, but he didn't recognize him at first glance. However, soon, Fujin was surprised. He thought, 'This guy became an Anbu?'

Though Fujin didn't show it, he was genuinely surprised. The ninja introduced himself, "I am Handa Bunjiro. My codename is Sparrow. My affinity is Water and I am learning Wind jutsus as my second nature. I have also learnt the basics of being a sensor. But currently, I can only sense up to 80 meters. As for combat style, I don't have any fixed style but I prefer to drown my enemies from a distance."

Fujin nodded and analyzed, 'Yugao and Fumito have Wind as their primary element whereas Bunjiro has it as his secondary element. In addition, all 3 are sensors. And Yugao also uses a sword. Looks like my team will specialize in hitting from a distance or assassinations instead of engaging in combat directly.

But, considering all the elements, the team does cover all elements. These 3 just miss the Earth element, but Hiruzen and Eagle should know that I can use Earth jutsu. The only major issue is Bunjiro. How did he go from Academy to Anbu in just 2 years?'

Though Fujin also managed to do the same, his circumstances were completely different. Fujin had learnt the basic exercises of Chakra control during his first year in the academy. He had graduated at the top of his year and could already use two elements. After graduating, he was guided seriously by an Elite Jounin and even received training from Hiruzen. As for Bunjiro, he hadn't even tried the Tree Climbing exercise until a few months before the Graduation exam.

Fujin wondered, 'Was he trained seriously by someone as well? Regardless, though this feat is impressive, his chakra is far lower than Yugao and Fumito. His strength should be weaker as well. It makes the squad unbalanced. Did Hiruzen force him into my squad just because I taught him in the past?'

Fujin thought for a bit, but couldn't think of any other reason. He asked, "Good. Do all three of you know the rules and protocols of Anbu?"

All three nodded. Yugao and Fumito were already a part of Anbu, whereas Bunjiro was informed by Eagle.

Fujin looked at Yugao and asked, "You know where the Anbu training ground 9 is, right?"

Yugao nodded. Fujin said, "Good. Take Inu and Sparrow there. I'll come in half an hour. Use that time to discuss how to coordinate properly with each other and form decent teamwork. When I come, you three will fight me."

Yugao, Fumito and Bunjiro were surprised. Fumito thought, 'He will take all of us on at the same time? Sigh, why did I get such a young captain who is so arrogant? If it wasn't for my horrible luck, I'd have been an Anbu Captain myself!'

Bunjiro wondered, 'Does he think that I'm as weak as I was 2 years ago?'

Only Yugao looked at him meaningfully. She and Fumito walked out while Bunjiro followed them.

Fujin saw them leave. As soon as they were out of sight, he flickered and appeared in front of Eagle. Eagle wasn't surprised to see Fujin and asked, "Do you need something?"

Fujin nodded and replied, "Yeah. Give me their files. I wanna know everything I can about my team."

Eagle nodded and handed Fujin 3 files and said, "Feel free to read but leave them here. The information regarding the Anbu can't be allowed to exist anywhere else."

Fujin nodded. He opened Yugao's file and began reading. After he was done, he concluded, 'She is good. She was first part of Kakashi's squad and then Yamato's squad. And she has already begun her training under Hayate. But, if all the information here is true, then her power is already equivalent to an Anbu Captain. Why wasn't she allowed to take the promotion mission?'

Fujin began reading Fumito's file. He was surprised as he discovered, 'I see. He has already tried a promotion mission but failed to pass. His power should be at the Jounin level as well. No wonder I saw disdain in his eyes when I said that I will take on all 3 of them myself.'

Fujin placed his file down and began reading Bunjiro's file. This was the one he was most interested in reading. As he read, Fujin thought, 'Though I guided the five of them, I didn't have much expectations from any of them. At most I expected them to reach Low Chunin levels. After all, none of them had the talent or determination to get stronger. Guess I was wrong. I wonder what happened to the remaining four.'

He read all his information and analyzed, 'I see. He and Tatsuya were placed in the same squad under a Jounin who took an interest in guiding them properly. And he is quite hard-working as well. He managed to become a Chunin around 6 months ago. But he was the only one from his squad who got promoted.

Not bad. No wonder he managed to join the Anbu. But his strength doesn't compare to the other two and is probably average among Chunins. Though he is 6-7 years younger than the other two. Still…'

Fujin looked up at Eagle. Though he couldn't see his face due to the mask, he could see that Eagle's eyes were glued on him. He thought, 'I don't understand my team. One is ready to be promoted to Anbu Captain, one has failed the promotion mission and the third is a newbie. What does he aim to achieve by giving me such an imbalanced team?'

Eagle asked, "Is there any issue?"

Fujin handed over the files and said, "No. I do have a question though. Since my team is newly formed and has a new member, we will have to Police the Village for a few months, right?"

Eagle was confused by the question. He replied, "No, who told you that? You will be assigned field missions right away."

Fujin asked, "Won't that be risky with an inexperienced ninja?"

Eagle replied, "The other two of your subordinates are quite strong. And Lord Hokage believed in your strength as well. So I believe that his safety wouldn't be an issue."

Fujin replied, "Alright."

He left while thinking, 'As I expected, Hiruzen was behind such a weird team. Though Eagle's logic makes sense, it is very flawed. Knowing Hiruzen, he should have other motives. Unfortunately, I can't guess them.'

While Fujin was thinking, his new subordinates had discussed and planned for a few minutes before stopping and waiting for Fujin. Yugao and Fumito were sitting in a meditative position while Bunjiro had a frown on his face.
