Hiruzen asked, "Tell me Fujin, do you know what a vacuum is and its properties?"

Fujin fell into thought, 'Did the academy ever teach about the vacuum? Probably not, though the library might have some information regarding it.'

Fujin answered, "Vacuum basically is a space where nothing exists. Not even air. As for its properties, I don't know for sure. But I have a few guesses."

Hiruzen said, "That's right. Tell me about your guesses."

Fujin replied, "Since nothing exists in a vacuum, the pressure inside the vacuum should be very low, or perhaps non-existent. So if something came close to the vacuum, it would rapidly be sucked inside the vacuum. Though, in that case, the vacuum will no longer be a vacuum."

Hiruzen was impressed by that answer. He nodded, "Very good Fujin. You are right. That is how the vacuum works. The Wind Vacuum jutsus are based on the same principle."

Fujin paid close attention as Hiruzen explained, "Wind Vacuum jutsus are the same as normal Wind jutsus. The only difference is that they have a vacuum core. So, you first have to learn how to create a vacuum core. Observe properly."

Hiruzen extended his arm ahead. Wind formed in his hand, similar to a Wind Explosion jutsu. Fujin observed with all his focus.

A wind sphere formed in Hiruzen's hand. But soon, the winds began moving away from the core. Fujin saw a vacuum sphere forming at the center of the wind sphere. It had a radius of 2 cm.

Hiruzen explained, "To create a vacuum, you just have to remove all air from the space where you decide to create the vacuum."

Fujin nodded. The basic principles were similar to those on earth. Only chakra was used instead of technology.

Hiruzen dispersed the jutsu. Fujin noticed as winds rushed back into the vacuum core. Hiruzen said, "Now you try Fujin."

Fujin extended his hand forward. A wind sphere immediately formed in his hand. He focused on the center of the sphere and tried moving air away from it.

He quickly managed to move the air to one side of the center. However, soon air from other directions entered. Hiruzen observed him carefully.

Fujin struggled for a couple of minutes before making progress. He managed to push the air out from the center in all directions! Slowly, a 1 mm vacuum sphere was formed. Hiruzen noticed. His eyes widened!

Fujin didn't see Hiruzen's expression. His entire focus was on the vacuum core. He kept trying to expand its size. He managed to expand it, but multiple times it collapsed. He kept at it.

Hiruzen watched with shock on his face. He exclaimed in his mind, 'What talent! Danzo needed a week before he could make a stable core. The way Fujin is going, he'll manage to do it today itself!'

After overcoming the shock, Hiruzen analyzed the youth in front of him, 'This kid was talented in the academy, but didn't show any signs of being special. Apart from his higher chakra, all his progress was just a product of dedication. According to Genki, even his higher chakra was a product of hard training.

Even his talent in Wind jutsu wasn't that great. Could he be like those ninjas, whose talent in a particular nature shows at a later stage?'

Hiruzen analyzed more, 'Yeah, there were a lot of ninjas in Kiri and Kumo whose talent in water or lightning elements showed when working on Rank B or higher jutsus. Though the number of similar cases in Fire, Earth or Wind is very low.'
