Naruto: The Wind Calamity
chapter-232

For the next couple of days, Fujin kept practicing Infinite Breakthrough jutsu with Yin & Yang amplifications until he was satisfied.

Soon, it was the day of visiting the hospital. Fujin trained his body in the morning and spent a couple of hours meditating to relax his mind and eliminate all needless thoughts and distractions.

He left his house for the hospital but suddenly he had a thought, 'Wait a minute! Yoshi said last time that we need to think about happy and pleasant thoughts. So we need to be happy. And I am happy after eating delicious food. I should stuff my stomach before going. Otherwise, if I keep thinking about eating the fish, I don't think I could heal it, haha.'

Having decided, he visited Ichiraku once again and enjoyed himself while blissfully ignoring the time for Yoshi's training session.

At noon, Yoshi entered the same room and saw 28 people in the room. He looked around and his face fell as he thought, 'Six quit already including that youngster. A shame. I had high hopes for him. But, if he doesn't have the discipline of sticking for a week, then there is no way he can become a medical ninja.'

He began by giving a short lecture and started guiding the trainees to use the Mystical Palm jutsu.

Half an hour later, Fujin knocked on the door and entered the room. Once again, he attracted everyone's attention. Yoshi squinted his eyes. He didn't know how to feel. On one hand, he was happy that Fujin wanted to continue while on the other hand, he was disappointed by his indiscipline.

He walked towards Fujin and said, "You are late."

Fujin nodded but he had a smile on his face.

Yoshi's eyes twitched. He commented in his mind, 'Did that Hatake brat spread his influence on the youngsters?'

Yoshi put up a serious face and said strictly, "I won't allow any tardy ninja to learn medical ninjutsu. So you better give me a good reason for being late. Otherwise, I won't be teaching you."

His words were loud enough to be heard by everyone in the room. They all had their attention on Fujin. For half an hour, they had been trying unsuccessfully. So seeing another person get yelled at felt refreshing. They were hoping to get some entertainment.

Fujin maintained his smile and said, "Of course, I have a reason, Sensei. I had left home on time and should have been here before noon. But then I recalled your words."

Yoshi was confused. He asked, "My words?"

Fujin nodded and asked, "Didn't you say that we should have happy and pleasant thoughts in order to be able to heal? If the fish's body perceives any threat, then it won't allow our chakra to assist it, right?"

Yoshi nodded but was still confused. He thought, 'I did say that bullshit but how is it related to him being late?'

Fujin said, "I recalled your words and realized that in the last week, when I was healing the fish, I was very hungry and was wondering how the fish would taste. It is probably why the fish's body put up a resistance. In addition, I am at my happiest after eating a delicious meal.

So I took your advice and decided to eat up first before showing up here. Otherwise, I would only fail like last time."

Yoshi and everyone in the room were stunned. They were left speechless by Fujin's excuse. Yoshi thought, 'What the fuck? How did he reach that conclusion?'

He wanted to yell but before he could say anything, Fujin bowed and said, "That's why I am late sensei. But I still apologize for the delay. It won't happen again."

Yoshi was left speechless once again. Fujin didn't even give him any chance to scold him. In the end, he could only say, "Don't be late again or I won't accept you in the class."

His words left everyone else dumbfounded. Especially Emi and Asuka. Memories of Yoshi yelling at them surfaced in their heads. They both thought, 'How did he avoid getting yelled at? Could we have just said that we wanted to eat and get away without getting yelled at for years?'

Fujin said, "Of course."

Yoshi said, "Go try to heal a fish."

Fujin nodded and quickly left and occupied an empty spot that already had a fish. He observed the fish and thought, 'There's no way there would be a happier sight than his expression. Oh well, here goes nothing.'

Fujin weaved hand signs and extended his right palm towards the fish with a smile on his face. Yang chakra appeared on his palm. He used a little bit of Yin chakra to manipulate the Yang chakra and began healing the fish. Everyone's eyes were on Fujin.

Fujin gently increased his chakra output. To his surprise, the fish began twitching and moving its fins rapidly in just 30 seconds!

Once again, shock spread throughout the room. The trainees were shocked that someone managed to heal the fish so quickly. Meanwhile, Emi and Asuka's eyes popped out! They both cursed in their mind, 'That shitty advice works?'

However, the most shocked was Yoshi. He had no idea what to make of the scene unfolding in front of his eyes!

The fish began flailing as Fujin's chakra began burning his body. Fujin quickly reduced his chakra output. The fish's body stopped burning, but it was no longer being healed at the required rate. It soon became still once again.

Fujin stopped his jutsu. He looked at Yoshi with an innocent face and said excitedly, "Your advice is great, Sensei! I didn't think I would make progress so quickly. With a few more happy thoughts, I think I can heal the fish in no time!"

Yoshi's eyes twitched. It wasn't the praise he wanted to hear. However, before he could say anything, he felt many eyes on him. He looked away from Fujin to see that all 28 Trainees were staring at him. Awe and respect could be seen in their eyes! Yoshi gulped as he noticed the reverence in their eyes for him.

One guy said, "I will think of happy thoughts too, Sensei!"

Another asked, "I too am the happiest when I eat delicious food. Can I be back in 30 minutes?"

A few more asked the same question.

Another wondered out loud, "Should I propose to Emiko-chan? I will be the happiest if she says yes."

However, the guy next to him said, "But if she says no, then I am afraid that you will never learn this jutsu."

The guy shivered and said, "You are right!"

Another guy overheard their conversation and chimed in, "We should try to get instant happiness."

A lecherous smile appeared on his face, "You understand what I mean, right?"

His statement made everyone feel awkward. They immediately moved two steps away from him.

Another looked at Yoshi and asked with a serious face, "I am the happiest when I am drunk. But how can I control my chakra properly when I am drunk?"

Similar statements began flowing through the room. Yoshi saw the chaos in the room with a dumbfounded expression. Never before had he lost control of a room while teaching trainees!

However, he couldn't keep staying quiet. He was asked too many questions. He reluctantly said, "If anyone wants to go out to relax, you can. But return within an hour. The ones who want to keep training, you can keep training. We will monitor your progress."

His words made many trainees excited. Soon, 23 trainees left the room. While leaving, one excitedly exclaimed in a loud voice, "I never knew that to become a medical ninja we have to keep ourselves happy all the time. If I did, I would have become a medical ninja right after graduating! Not to mention, with the skills of a medical ninja, I wouldn't even have to be worried about my liver. Hahaha."

Those words made Yoshi look at the ninja. He couldn't believe it and muttered in a low voice, "How did things reach this stage?"

He couldn't help but look at Fujin who still had that innocent smile on his face.
