Chapter 484: Phantom Will

Chapter 484: Phantom Will

Shigeki nodded. He agreed with the steps Fujin had taken. He asked, "Alright. What should I do right now? How will I manage this branch?"

Fujin said, "Though the goal of Phantom Haven Society is good, we can't do good just by wishing for it. Otherwise, this world would have long achieved peace. To help progress towards our goal, we need to do three things. They'll be your main activities.

One, we need to recruit more people. I can't stay here all the time. And you won't be able to handle everything by yourself. For starters, you'll be responsible for recruiting other ninjas like you. Ninjas who you trust, are good-natured and will be willing to work with dedication towards such a goal.

Of course, considering the risky nature of the job, you should only recruit ninjas who don't have anything to lose and don't have anyone dependent on them."

Shigeki understood the reason behind Fujin's words. Once someone joins such a secret organization with such an outrageous goal, they will have a difficult time returning to live with their loved ones. Not to mention, they could be hunted down once their past is exposed. Even if they escape, their families will suffer.

Fujin continued, "Once you have recruited a few capable ninjas, you can start operating. To start with, we will be focusing on two things. Our goal is to help unfortunate people who face calamities.

But, in order to help such people, we need to know that they are suffering and need to know that quickly enough. Otherwise, we won't be able to help them all. To do so, you will need to build an information network.

The third thing will apply when we get into action and rescue an affected village or community. We will help them resettle, either in the same place by eliminating the danger if we can or in a nearby village if we can't and they are willing to move.

During such rescues, we will also recruit young kids who have the passion to join an organization like ours and the talent to become a ninja. Unlike the hidden villages, we will never send the kids to war. Instead, they will stay safe in this hideout until they are trained enough to be considered Chunins. This will be your most important task.

Though we are decently strong, there isn't much two people can do by themselves. In fact, even with help, we can't be sure if this goal will be achieved during our lifetime. We will need strong and passionate youngsters with the drive to see that our goal will be achieved even if we pass on."

Fujin looked into Shigeki's eyes and asked in a serious tone, "Kasai Shigeki, are you willing to take over this role?"

Shigeki replied respectfully, "I am willing."

Fujin nodded and said, "Good."

Memories resurfaced as he thought of his own experiences. He recalled how he observed the unfairness in the world several times. However, he never did anything to reduce it despite wanting to and having a few opportunities.

He was also at the receiving end during the previous Great Ninja Wars when the Land of Rivers was completely at the mercy of Konoha and Suna ninjas. He felt helpless but didn't have the strength to do anything about it. The ones who did have the strength were engaged in a deadly war instead of helping others.

Within a few minutes, Shigeki had convinced himself and become the greatest follower of the Phantom Will. It was a strange situation where his belief in the Phantom Will was infinitely greater than the one who could be considered its founder!

Shigeki looked at Fujin and asked, "Shiden, can you tell me how strong you are? Are you a Grandmaster in Fuinjutsu? Also, what are your other specialities?"

The sudden question surprised Fujin. He wondered, 'Exactly what conclusion did he reach to suddenly ask me such a question?'

To maintain the flow and ensure that Shigeki stayed loyal to him, Fujin had no choice but to satisfy his query. For a moment, Fujin felt just like how Hiruzen feels while dealing with him.
