Chapter 495: Request Denied!

[A/N: Happy Valentine's Day everyone. I hope you guys have better luck than me ]

Kaito looked at Fujin and asked, "So, what's up? Why did you want to come here?"

Fujin replied, "Well, I wanted a place where I could train alone. A place where I can cause a lot of destruction without attracting trouble. Know any?"

Kaito replied, "Sure. There are plenty of unoccupied mountain peaks nearby. Want a lift?"

Fujin answered, "Sure, but I want to meet your father first. Take me to him."

Fujin jumped on Kaito's back as Kaito took a flight. He asked, "What do you want to do with father?"

Fujin replied, "Not much. Just wondering whether he'll teach me how to harness and control nature energy. One of the jutsus I'm learning has a massive backlash. I'll probably not be able to handle it unless I can strengthen myself with nature energy."

Kaito was surprised. He asked, "Such a strong backlash? The jutsu must be impressive."

Fujin chuckled and replied, "It is. I'll show it later."

They reached Ryu's cave. Ryu opened his eyes as he saw Kaito and Fujin flying in. Kaito landed in front of his father and Fujin jumped down. Ryu observed Fujin and a surprise appeared on his gigantic face. He said in his jagged voice, "Impressive. Your body has gotten a lot stronger since the last time we met. I didn't expect you to make such quick progress."

Fujin nodded and said, "Yeah, it was one of the aspects I focused on."

There was no need to guess what caused the explosive growth. Though Fujin's main focus in the last four months was on mastering the Flying Thunder God jutsu, he also kept his training on the Eight Inner Gates. Though he struggled to open the Gate of Life, once he did, it didn't take him a long time to open the Gate of Pain. He was currently working towards opening the Gate of Limit, though he would require a lot more time to actually be able to open it.

Ryu asked, "Good. Why did you come to visit me?"

Fujin didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "I want to learn Senjutsu. My chakra has already increased beyond what you had mentioned the requirement for learning it was. My physical body is perhaps even stronger in that regard. So, can you teach it to me now?"

Fujin had thought a lot about the matter before asking. Learning how to harness Nature energy was risky. In terms of chakra, he was far lacking compared to what Naruto's chakra levels would be when he attempted it. However, he should be much better off than Jiraiya when Jiraiya began learning how to use Nature energy. It was why Fujin was being insistent for the first time. The only variable that Fujin was aware of but couldn't calculate was the Winged Sabertooths would have a different method of teaching as compared to Toads involving different risks. So, he couldn't be certain about the risk level.

Ryu's eyes widened on learning that a single group was capturing the Tailed Beasts. Fujin continued, "It is unknown what they plan on doing with the Tailed Beasts. However, I have a gut feeling that soon a huge war will break. A war that will make the previous three Great Ninja Wars look insignificant in comparison. I want to learn Senjutsu before all hell breaks loose. Otherwise, it'd be too late to learn it."

This time, Ryu fell silent. He had no interest in the Elemental ninjas or the ninjas. As such, he wasn't very aware of what was happening. However, from Fujin's tone, he could understand the severity of the matter. Though Fujin didn't provide any proof, the 'gut feeling" of someone as strong as Fujin wasn't something anyone would take lightly. After all, it wasn't as if there was any proof to show that the prophecy he believed in was true either.

Ryu asked, "What's a Great Ninja War?"

Fujin was dumbfounded by the question. However, he quickly recalled, 'Ah right. He hasn't had any summoner for a long while. Even I never summoned him due to how chakra-intensive it is to summon him.'

Before Fujin could answer, Kaito replied, "It's a war where every Ninja village on that continent fights against one another. They do it every once in a while. The last one was over a decade ago. Several strong ninjas die in each war."

Unlike Ryu, Kaito loved flying across the world. As a result, he had seen various battles play out while he stayed above the clouds.

Ryu thought for a bit and asked, "How long do you think it'll be before the start of the next Great Ninja War?"
