Chapter 597: Chapter 591 : What the hell happened?

To the surprise of the experienced Medical Ninjas, Fujin said, "I'm aware of the drawbacks. Don't worry, I do take proper precautions."

For some reason, all 3 Medical Ninjas doubted Fujin's words. However, they understood that it wasn't their role to instruct Fujin. After all, even though he was a junior, he was ranked higher than them as an Elite Jounin. Not to mention, he was a Council Member as well.

Yoshi said, "As long as you are aware, it's fine. However, do take care of yourself. This jutsu is forbidden for a reason. If you take it lightly, the jutsu will burn you in more than one way."

Fujin nodded and replied, "I will."

Yoshi said, "Good. You can dispel two-thirds of your clones. Unlike you, I'm not young enough to maintain 30 Shadow Clones for a long time."

Fujin immediately looked at Isamu and Hideaki and asked, "You two can maintain 9 clones each, right?"

The three of them were left speechless once again. There was no hesitation or doubt in Fujin's voice. He didn't even take a second to think after Yoshi asked him to dispel 20 Shadow Clones. Instead, he acted as if it was the most natural thing! Both Isamu and Hideaki nodded involuntarily.

Fujin smiled and said, "That's great, let's start!"

Lost for words, the three of them created Shadow Clones and began guiding Fujin and his clones after discussing among themselves what each one of them would teach Fujin. Despite having been teaching Medical Ninjutsu to young trainees for decades, it was their first time doing something like this.

For the next 8 hours, they continued teaching Fujin without a break, before finally calling it a day. Fujin thanked the three of them and left the lab after confirming that they would meet again the next morning.

As soon as Fujin left, the three of them collapsed into chairs and their breathing became rough. Hideaki asked, "What the hell happened today?"

Isamu echoed his question and asked, "Why exactly did we create Shadow Clones to teach Fujin? I don't think I have ever created 9 Shadow Clones at the same time, let alone maintain them for 8 hours!"

Yoshi scoffed, "You two are still a decade younger than me. What would you know about how many headaches I'm getting?"

He paused for a minute, thinking about what exactly happened in the last 8 hours. Finally, he grumbled, "I was too enthusiastic to teach him. We got sucked into that kid's pace. We didn't even realize what he was asking from us. Not to mention, we already promised to keep teaching him in this manner..."

The three senior Medical Ninjas looked at each other helplessly. While they had been hot-blooded and enthusiastic during their younger years, they had long passed that phase. In the peaceful time, they had gotten used to playing with the trainees to have fun.

Hideaki, in particular, enjoyed seeing the reactions of the young trainees when they had to dissect dead bodies. He would actively try to put the trainees out of their comfort zone. Meanwhile, Yoshi and Isamu partook in pranks like making young trainees think of happy thoughts while learning Mystical Palm jutsu along with other things.

However, there was never an instance where the trainees turned the tables around and made them feel helpless apart from Fujin reverse pranking Yoshi.

Isamu sighed and said, "We underestimated him."

Hideaki sighed as well and said, "I'll have to keep this lab off limits for the trainees for the next few days as we'll be guiding Fujin all the time. Still, he is quite ridiculous. Didn't you two notice something strange?"

Yoshi and Isamu were too tired to think of anything. Yoshi asked, "What are you talking about? We taught everything as we had planned. In fact, we taught more than we had initially discussed. What was strange?"

Hideaki answered with a serious expression, "The fact that we could teach everything as planned and more is extremely strange. When did we ever manage to teach everything we wanted to with the trainees learning everything properly?"

Yoshi and Isamu's eyes widened. Everything else that had happened made them overlook that aspect. Hideaki continued, "Not to mention, Fujin and his 29 Shadow Clones all never lost their focus. Even when he dispelled them, he didn't seem to be under any strain despite having more than thrice the number of Shadow Clones as us. It means..."

Yoshi completed his sentence, "It means that he has used this tactic so many times that he has long gotten used to its side effects..."

Shock and disbelief appeared on their faces. Isamu muttered, "No wonder he has achieved so much at such a young age... No wonder Lord Hokage looks at him so favorably and gave him a seat on the Council... With such a hard-working nature and ability to stay focused for hours, there is no telling how much stronger he'll become..."

The three of them exchanged eye glances. This time, along with shock, there was some excitement in their eyes. Yoshi said with excitement in his voice, "Lord Third Hokage... He is still as excellent as always! He has kept such a talent hidden from everyone!

With the two Sannins refusing to take center stage, everyone believes that Hatake Kakashi will be the one to lead Konoha in the future. As the son of White Fang, the student of the Fourth Hokage and with excellent strength and leadership qualities, he ticks all the boxes.

However, no one knows that Suzuki Fujin might be his equal in strength. Even if he isn't yet, it is only a matter of time with such dedication. After all, he is 10 years younger than Kakashi. With two rank S ninjas from this generation, Konoha will continue being strong."

Having realized it, the three of them forgot their tiredness and headaches and became very excited. It was thrilling news! Isamu said, "It looks like the rumors about the Spectral Swordsman are true. His combat strength must be phenomenal.

Not to mention, his clones could inspect the entire village. So, his chakra reserves must be very high as well. In addition, he is also a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster. Even though I knew his talent, I was a bit suspicious and thought that Lord Hokage wanted to increase his reputation. It looks like we were wrong."

Hideaki nodded. Seeing their expressions, Yoshi immediately said, "While this is great news, don't tell it to anyone. Lord Third must have his reasons for not making this information public. We shouldn't spoil his plans."

Isamu and Hideaki nodded in agreement. What the three of them didn't know was that Hiruzen had long wanted to increase Fujin's reputation and had taken every opportunity he could to increase Fujin's reputation.

Unfortunately for him, most of Fujin's achievements couldn't be made public. As a result, he was far more famous in the enemy villages and organizations than in Konoha. If not for the fact that Onoki placed a bounty on him, Hiruzen put him on the council and tasked him to inspect the entire village, the majority of the Konoha would probably not even know that someone called Fujin existed.

If Hiruzen knew that the three of them had realized Fujin's potential, he would have encouraged them to spread the information instead of keeping it a secret among them.

Yoshi smiled seeing that the two of them agreed. He thought, 'Even though we shouldn't spread the information, I need to inform Inoichi. The Yamanaka clan should have good relations with him. At the very least, we shouldn't be at odds with him.'

Suddenly, a few knocks were heard on the door of the lab. Yoshi looked at it and said, "Come in."

Two girls entered the room. They were his assistants, Hyuga Emi and Kurama Asuka. They approached Yoshi and said, "You are finally free sensei."

Yoshi asked, "Did something happen?"

Emi nodded and said, "Yes, you are supposed to teach the next batch the Mystical Palm jutsu tomorrow. They want to confirm your availability."

Yoshi replied, "I'll be busy tomorrow. Ask the management to arrange someone else tomorrow."

Having realized Fujin's potential, he didn't want to focus on anything else for the time being. Asuka showed a difficult expression and explained, "Sensei, all the senior medical ninjas are busy. They can't arrange anyone else so quickly."

Yoshi waved his hand dismissively and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll be busy for a few days or weeks. So will be Isamu, Hideaki and the anatomy lab. Ask the management to handle things accordingly. They can arrange another teacher temporarily or push back the training session."

The two girls were helpless against Yoshi's stubbornness. Having worked under him for years, the two understood that they wouldn't be able to change his mind and took their leave. Even though the management of Konoha Hospital wouldn't be pleased, they knew that there wasn't anything they could do against someone like Yoshi. If anything, they were afraid that he might retire due to his old age. The management decided to ignore their antics and delayed the new batch by a few days.

However, when the situation didn't change for over a couple of weeks, they had to inform Hiruzen about their behavior. Hiruzen was about to leave when he got their report.

He read it with a confused expression while thinking, 'That's weird... Since when did Yoshi start saying no to teaching youngsters? Isn't he usually very enthusiastic about teaching them? I can't have someone as dedicated as him slack off or retire.'

From the report, Hiruzen understood that the three of them had been occupying the anatomy lab, denying others access to it. He activated his chakra field to sense whether the three of them were still there. On sensing them, Hiruzen disappeared from his office.

In a couple of seconds, he appeared outside the anatomy lab. Without knocking, he opened the door and entered. The sudden intrusion attracted the attention of the 3 senior medical ninjas. They were surprised to see Hiruzen.

However, Hiruzen was even more surprised at seeing their appearances. He couldn't help but wonder, 'What the hell happened?'
