Naruto: The Wind Calamity

Chapter 596: Headaches

Sitting in his office inside Konoha's hospital, Yoshi grumbled, "Where is that insensitive kid? He came to me to ask for guidance but hasn't shown up for a week!"

Isamu sighed and said, "I told you that you shouldn't have started by giving the books. That bores anyone who wants to learn Medical Ninjutsu and they become reluctant to continue learning."

However, Yoshi argued back, "And I already said that if someone can't read 6 books, then they have no business in being a Medical Ninja! They'll need to read dozens of books and thousands of papers to be an acceptable Medical Ninja."

Isamu sighed again and said, "It's about generating interest, Yoshi sensei. Once we generate enough interest, they can read even a hundred books to satisfy their curiosity. If not…"

"What curiosity?"

Isamu was stunned and immediately turned around. He hadn't sensed anyone approaching him from the back. Fortunately for Yoshi, he was looking at Isamu and hence noticed Fujin suddenly appearing behind Isamu.

Isamu relaxed slightly seeing that Fujin was the one behind him. Yet, he couldn't help but curse, 'This brat! How the hell does he keep sneaking on me?'

It was important to remember that even though they were Medical Ninjas, both Yoshi and Isamu were Jounins. They weren't Special Jounins like many other Medical Ninjas who could get that rank due to their expertise in Medical Ninjutsu, but proper Jounins who could compete equally against Jounins who fight on the frontlines.

In addition, both had lived through two wars. So, they weren't lacking in experience or survival instincts. Yet, Fujin kept sneaking behind them successfully.

Isamu grumbled, "Fujin, one of these days you are going to give me a heart attack."

Fujin chuckled and replied, "Don't worry, you're still very young and healthy. If something does happen, I'll quickly bring you to Yoshi sensei."

'...' Isamu was left speechless. Yoshi ignored their interaction and asked in annoyance, "What next step? You didn't show up for over a week after I gave you the books!"

Fujin tilted his head and asked, "Didn't you ask me to read and understand those books? It took me some time. Is a week too slow to understand them?"

Yoshi and Isamu's eyes widened. Yoshi said, "You were just supposed to read them. I would have taught the contents inside it to you. Also, did you go through the six books and understand them in a week?"

Neither Isamu nor Yoshi believed Fujin's words. Each of the six books he was given had over 2000 pages! It wasn't something that could be read in a week, let alone understood. Yoshi had planned to teach everything inside those books to Fujin in 4 to 5 months!

To their shock, Fujin nodded and said, "Yup, I just kept the books back in the library. What's next?"

Yoshi and Isamu were left speechless by his reply. Needless to say, they still didn't believe it. Yoshi quickly asked Fujin a few questions, which Fujin answered promptly. The more he asked, the more he was stunned. Isamu joined in and asked a couple of questions as well, but Fujin answered those as well. Yoshi and Isamu glanced at each other, shock visible in their eyes.

Fujin chuckled internally at their expressions while thinking, 'Shadow Clone rocks as usual. With 42 Shadow Clones, I have effectively spent 42 weeks reading those books. Of course, it won't be as effective as one person spending 42 weeks reading the books as 7 clones had to read the same books, causing an overlap.

However, it is still probably equivalent to one person studying the books for around 15 to 20 weeks. No wonder they are so shocked. Oh well, they will learn about it very soon. Luckily for me, both are Jounins with a decent amount of chakra.'

With no option but to believe Fujin, Yoshi said, "Alright, let's move to the next step. The six books you have gone through have given you a basic understanding of human physiology. Your next topic will be learning human anatomy. We will dissect a dead body and study what you have read practically."

Fujin nodded. In his previous life, he would have been extremely reluctant and nauseated to try something like this. However, in this life, Fujin had already done a few experiments on dead bodies. He had even studied the heads of Root ninjas to learn Danzo's seals. Not to mention, the number of bodies he cut open during his missions had long exceeded a thousand!

The two of them led Fujin to the anatomy lab, where they generally taught other trainees. However, since it was an odd hour, there weren't any trainees in the lab. The trio entered the room and just saw a middle-aged Medical Ninja who was responsible for supervising the lab.

Yoshi looked at him and said, "Hideaki, meet Fujin. He is the one I was talking about."

Hideaki looked at Fujin and thought, 'So he is the genius Yoshi sensei kept bragging about… Sigh, I thought he was kidding when he said that he was bringing a Council Member to teach. Then again, he did pass a brilliant proposal. I'm looking forward to the Guidance Hall's construction.'

Hideaki approached them and chuckled, "I was sure you were joking. Good to meet you, Council Member Fujin."

Fujin smiled and said, "I'm just a student here. No need for any formalities."

Hideaki nodded and thought, 'Not bad. I always thought that he'd be far more arrogant.'

He looked at Yoshi and asked, "Are you planning to give him an introduction to human anatomy?"

Yoshi shook his head and answered, "No, we are beginning anatomy studies."

A weird expression appeared on Hideaki's face as he wondered, 'Didn't he start teaching him just a week ago? It's too early to start with anatomy…'

Despite his reservations, he didn't say anything as Yoshi was far more experienced than him. He thought that Yoshi would have his reasons for doing so. The anatomy lab had 30 tables. Each table had a dead body on it along with a few tools to study the body.

Yoshi led Fujin towards one and began explaining. After an hour-long explanation, he displayed how to dissect the body and said, "Now, you try."

Suddenly, Fujin asked, "You can use the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu, right?"

Yoshi and the other two were confused. Yoshi nodded and said, "Yes, why are you asking?"

Fujin smiled and said, "Learning just by myself will take a lot of time."

He looked at Hideaki and asked, "The lab doesn't lack dead bodies, right?"

Hideaki nodded, still confused about Fujin's intentions. Regardless, they didn't lack any dead bodies. After all, too many missions involved killing. Several missions involved bringing back the dead bodies, which would be donated to the hospital. In addition, storing dead bodies was extremely easy in this world. As a result, the hospital had several hundred dead bodies stored in scrolls.

Fujin continued, "That's great. In that case, let's work on all 30 bodies at the same time. It'll help speed up the learning process considerably."

In the blink of an eye, smoke covered the entire room. As it faded away, 30 Fujins could be seen in the lab, one standing at each desk. In an instant, Yoshi and Isamu understood how Fujin managed to go through the books within 7 days!

Isamu muttered in disbelief, "Did you use Shadow Clones to study the Physiology books within 7 days."

Hideaki, who was hearing it for the first time, looked at Fujin with a shocked expression and thought, 'What the hell? He completed the introductory books in a week? Even with Shadow Clones, that should be extremely difficult. Not to mention...'

Fujin nonchalantly replied, "More or less. Anyway, let's continue."

Yoshi ignored his words and said with a solemn expression, "Fujin, using Shadow Clones for training is a bad idea. The memories that are transferred back to you create a strain on your brain. You must have felt the headaches. Even if you want to use Shadow Clones to help you, you should have all clones work on the same thing. Otherwise, it can cause trauma."

Fujin nodded. Having been using the Shadow Clone technique since the academy, he had long gotten used to the headaches. Even though he was worried about any side effects it might cause initially, the worries disappeared when no medical ninja said that there was anything wrong with him. He just needed to have adequate rest and sleep for the headaches to go away.

With time, Fujin stopped making his clones work on just one thing and allowed different clones to work on different tasks. While getting several kinds of memories would cause even more headaches, Fujin's brain had become used to handling such chaotic memories as well. That said, he still dispelled the clones working on the same tasks at a time to reduce the headaches. So, Fujin wasn't as concerned as Yoshi regarding this drawback of Multi Shadow Clone jutsu.
