Naruto - The Wind Calamity (2)

Chapter 221 : Gahyou Murasaki

Fujin observed Mount Muteki carefully. He could feel that the chakra around the mountain felt different as compared to Konoha and other villages.

Ryu asked, "So, how are you feeling?"

Fujin replied, "I am feeling great. I have never felt better!"

Ryu said, "Of course. What you just experienced was a special state. And the chakra you feel is nature's chakra. I believe you humans also refer to it as Senjutsu."

Fujin was surprised. He thought, 'That was nature's chakra?'

He fell into a thought as he realized, 'No wonder I felt so comfortable and my mood was so tranquil.'

Ryu noticed that Fujin was in thought and said, "You only sensed Nature's chakra and didn't absorb it. In the future, don't try to absorb nature's chakra or even try to feel it yourself. It can be very dangerous. Especially as you aren't ready to handle it yet."

Fujin nodded. He knew how dangerous nature's chakra was. He replied, "Thanks for the warning. I won't try it without guidance."

Fujin wanted to ask a few questions but something caught his eye. He looked ahead to see 4 sabertooths flying in the sky while playing around. However, compared to Ryu, they were much smaller with heights in the range of 3-4 meters.

They noticed Ryu and quickly flew towards him. However, their attention soon fell on Fujin as this was the first time they ever saw a human. Fujin too was observing them.

They were about to land on Ryu, when he said, "Run along kiddos. I'll be busy."

The four sabertooths immediately flew away.

Ryu said, "Don't mind them. You are the first human they saw. So expect a lot of curiosity-filled gazes if you manage to sign the contract."

Fujin chuckled, "Alright."

Ryu flew to the very top of the peak. However, instead of a pointy peak, there was a shallow crater surrounded by the rocks. It looked quite similar to the opening of a volcano, except that the crater wasn't very deep and instead of lava, it was covered in snow.

Ryu landed in the crater in front of another sabertooth. This one wasn't as big as Ryu but was still about three-fourths of his size. And it looked a bit older.

The Sabertooth noticed Fujin and asked in a gentle voice, "Which guest have you brought here, Ryu?"

Fujin was surprised by her voice. Unlike Ryu, it was much more gentle and pleasing to the ears.

Ryu said, "This is Fujin. He came here to sign a summoning contract. Fujin, get off and introduce yourself."

Fujin nodded and jumped down from his head. He landed between the two Sabertooths. He bowed slightly and respectfully said, "I am Suzuki Fujin from Konohagakure. I used the summoning jutsu to find a summon and appeared in front of Ryu."

The sabertooth observed Fujin carefully. Ryu said, "Fujin, she is the leader of our pride. And the Sage of Mount Muteki and all Winged Sabertooths!"

Fujin had already expected it to be so. The sage looked into Ryu's eyes before looking at Fujin and said, "Ryu has a habit of being too dramatic. I am Gahyou Murasaki. Everyone in this pride is my descendent."

Fujin memorized her name. She continued, "Did Ryu inform you about the conditions of signing a summoning contract with us?"

Fujin replied, "He informed me about needing a strong affinity to Wind nature. But I don't know about other criteria."

Murasaki said, "Alright. Before I inform you about the criteria, do you have any questions you want answered?"

Fujin replied, "Yes, quite a few. Is it fine to ask them all?"
