Fujin woke up at 4:30 AM. After freshening up, he turned up his training seal's power to 60% and left for the training ground he had booked.
He began the physical training that Renjiro used to put them under. He trained hard till 9 AM.
After a short break to rest and eat, he began practicing the Air Bullet Jutsu. His aim was to reduce its required hand signs to zero!
He trained for a couple of hours, before taking a break for lunch. He trained another couple of hours after lunch, till his chakra started to drop low.
He sighed, 'So stupid… I didn't consider the fact that I will run out of chakra! Especially while practicing B rank jutsus. Anyways, what to do…
I could increase my stamina by consuming soldier pills. But it won't be healthy in the long run. I guess I should just devote time to other activities.
When I am close to running out of chakra, I should go to the library and read Fuinjutsu scrolls. Though Ichiraku comes first. And once my chakra has regenerated, I can do something less chakra intensive. So I suppose Taijutsu or Kenjutsu.
Alright, let's do that. I'll practice sword fighting with a shadow clone.'
Fujin left for Ichiraku. He filled his stomach with a few bowls of ramen and went to the library.
He thought, 'I have completed the Fuinjutsu scrolls from Sections E and D during the academy days. Let's see what the scroll in Section C has.'
He entered the C section of the library. He searched for a bit and found the scroll he was looking for.
He grabbed the scroll and went to a desk and sat down. The title of the scroll was - 'Intermediate Fuinjutsu Guide'
He opened it and began reading it.
He read the entire scroll in one go and summarized, 'So Finger Carving Seal is at Intermediate level. And so is the Five Seal Barrier… Considering that this Barrier stopped a Jinchuriki, a medical ninja surpassed only by Tsunade, an S rank ninja and a former S rank ninja, I thought that it would be much higher in rank… Still, it is very complicated. Learning it will be tough.
Binding Cloth is also here. It was what was used to seal the edo tensei. But, the seal tag isn't here. Binding cloth without that sealing tag is kinda useless.
And lastly, there are details about making Explosion Tags.
Sigh, there isn't much in this scroll. It was disappointing. I hope that the scroll in the B section has better and more Fuinjutsu.'
He closed the scroll, put it back where it was and went to the B section.
The number of scrolls in the B section was very low. But, when he found what he was looking for, he was surprised!
Fujin thought, 'What the hell? The C section barely had anything related to Fuinjutsu. And this section has 6 scrolls?'
He began reading the names of each scroll. They were titled -
Advanced Fuinjutsu Theory
Miscellaneous Seals I
Miscellaneous Seals II
Miscellaneous Seals III
Battlefield Seals
Sealing Tags
Fujin grabbed the Advanced Fuinjutsu Theory scroll and began reading. This scroll had a lot of advanced-level theories about Fuinjutsu. It introduced a few more special characters that were needed to make more seals. And it described the information about other scrolls.
After reading, Fujin analyzed, 'So many additional theories. But many of them haven't been implemented successfully yet.
Anyways, the Miscellaneous Seals scrolls apparently have a lot of seals to make daily life easier. They were made for the benefit of the common people and to promote safer trade and transport. Looks like it was a project undertaken by Uzushiogakure. But left incomplete due to its destruction.
The Battlefield Seals scroll has seals that can be used on the battlefield. Though they aren't useful in an actual battle, they can be used for other purposes.
And lastly, the Sealing Tag scroll. This is what I am looking forward to the most!
Additionally, the scroll also says that if I manage to learn all the seals in these 5 scrolls, I will be considered a Seal Master!'
He put back the scroll and grabbed the Sealing Tag scroll and began reading it. His excitement dropped a bit.
He analyzed, 'There are only 3 seals here. The Sealing Tag, which can be used to seal Edo Tensei. It can also be used to stop summons and has quite a few applications. Then there is the Chakra Suppression Seal that Renjiro used. And lastly, the Barrier tag. It can be used to form barriers. Though it needs maintenance. So I can't use this and leave.
Anyways, though not plenty, they are good. Kinda wished that the Four Symbols Seal or Five Elements Seal was here. But looks like they will be in the A section. Or at least I hope so. It would suck if it isn't available in the library at all.'
He changed the scroll for Battlefield seals and began reading. This scroll had a lot of seals. After reading them all, Fujin analyzed, 'Wow! I didn't think this would be so useful! There are seals for all sorts of battlefield applications!'
Fujin's surprise wasn't unwarranted. The scroll had seals to isolate sound. It even had seals to absorb light and make a place or object very difficult to see. In addition, there were seals to prevent being seen by the Byakugan or the Sharingan or even by sensors.
Fujin guessed that these were the seals used by those Kiri squads who they eliminated inside the Land of Fire.
There were a lot more useful seals in the scroll. Fujin was very impressed. He thought, 'No wonder Uzushiogakure was eliminated! These seals are very potent. If an entire army learnt these seals, they would become a nightmare to face. Especially in the midst of battle.'
Finally, he began reading the Miscellaneous scrolls. While reading, Fujin's eyes lit up! The seals that were in the meditation room in the central tower of the Forest of Death in these scrolls! Even the seals on his Training seal were in these scrolls.
After reading all three scrolls, he concluded, 'These seals are good too. If the 5 big villages had cooperated and focused on these, then this world might have been a much better place. These seals are very good to develop this world quickly.
Anyways the most useful seals for me would be the ones used in that meditation room. In addition, there are also storage seals that can store living things safely. These too could be useful.'
After reading all the scrolls, Fujin put them back and sat in the library. He analyzed, 'There is a heck of a lot to learn in fuinjutsu. Actually, much of the stuff in the B Section should have been placed in the C Section. But I guess the Village wanted to restrict their access to Elite Chunins and above.
I'll need a lot of time to master these. Fortunately, I do have a lot of time. Additionally, I should check all the scrolls in the B section. It would be good if I find any good jutsus. More importantly, I want to see if there are any Barrier jutsus.
But, I guess they can wait. Let me complete my current plans.'
He left the library and returned back to the training ground. He made a hand sign and created a shadow clone. The Shadow clone appeared in front of him.
Fujin summoned a couple of normal swords from his scroll. Both grabbed one sword each. They began fighting without exchanging any words. The main focus of the spar was swordsmanship. Neither used chakra flow.
After a couple of hours, Fujin and his clone were standing in front of each other. Both were breathing hard. The clone stabbed the sword into the ground and said, "My chakra is exhausted."
It dispelled. Fujin received all his memories and experiences. Fujin thought, 'This is good. Getting experience from both sides provides me with both perspectives.'
He sealed the sword back and left for Yakiniku. He needed a lot of meat to keep up with his planned routine!
From the next day onwards, Fujin settled into this routine. In the morning, he would do physical training. That would be followed up by practicing and trying to master the Air Bullet jutsu. Once he ran low on chakra, he would either go to the library and read the seals or meditate. And he would end his training with Kenjutsu practice.
