7 Mystery Unravels (1/2)

Danzo looked around the library that used to be his and saw books scattered all around the place. Order long forgotten.

”You should clean up this place...”

”No, I don't. This place is perfectly chaotic. Now, what do you want?” Fuzen put his book down and leaned forward to faze Danzo with one hand resting on his chin.

”Like I said. I'd be taking control over your training, and I believe we should move on to the next part of the training and you to start learning more about that bloodline,” Danzo said unfazed by his combative attitude.

The fact that Danzo never got triggered, pissed Fuzen off. A better person might admire Danzo for possessing that quality, but Fuzen wasn't a good guy, so he hated it. He did agree with him though. It was time to begin this stage of his training.

However, when they began the next day something strange happened.

After he demonstrated the ability to move between shadows two years ago, they knew Fuzen had some kind of bloodline ability. There was no other way to explain how anyone was able to do something like that. While it was rare for someone to be born with a bloodline ability, it was another matter altogether to have one never seen before.

To find out more about Fuzen's bloodline, Danzo made him test which of the five basic nature transformation his chakra showed an affinity towards.

”Hmm, that wasn't supposed to happen,” Danzo mused after he saw it.

Surprising both, the entire chakra paper had turned pitch black and wrinkled itself until it formed a small ball that eventually disintegrated into nothing.

Fuzen took another chakra paper and tried again. The same thing happened.

”I can't,” Fuzen said.

”What do you mean, you can't? Explain.”

Fuzen tried his best to describe what he felt happen when he channelled chakra into the paper.

”I mean, it doesn't work! I keep channelling chakra into this shitty paper” – he looked at it in irritation – ”and it feels as if whatever reaches the paper is a fused product outside my control.”

”Fucking piece of shit!” he cursed his frustration at the papers hadn't used.

Danzo had never considered the possibility of the chakra paper reacting like this. However, after convincing Fuzen to continue doing the test, he theorized Fuzen's bloodline most likely combined the elemental chakra natures of earth, wind and lightning, and somehow his yin release intervened and fused them together to form a single element.
