Fujin completed his morning training routine before taking a small break to decide how to progress further. He analyzed, 'I have a feeling that I will open the Gate of Limit very soon. I might be able to do it this week itself.
Once that is done, I'll have completed my previous training plan of training the Wind Domain, the Flying Thunder God jutsu and the Eight Inner Gates Technique simultaneously.
My Wind Domain is nearly perfect right now. The only improvement I can make is creating Vacuum jutsus using the Wind Domain. Though it is possible to improve it even more, it is very difficult. It'll depend more on any inspiration I get in the future or any improvements I experience in other fields. For instance, once I become more knowledgeable about poisons, I could try to mix poisons in the Wind Domain. That might make me more efficient than Sasori at poisoning my enemies.
I have mastered the Flying Thunder God jutsu as well. The only thing I need to work on is increasing the range. I will be able to slowly improve that over time. So, I don't need to assign any time to training it consistently.
As for the Eight Inner Gates Technique, the Gate of View is several times more difficult than opening all the first five Inner Gates. According to what Guy said, I'll need at least a couple of years to open it. And that is if I focus entirely on it. I guess the Gate of View would be the most I'll be able to open until the Fourth Great Ninja War unless I decide to push the war back by a few years.
Regardless, other than my usual morning physical workout routine and sparring with Guy, I don't need to focus more on this technique. That finally opens up my schedule after a long time!'
Ever since he had quit Anbu, Fujin had been focused on these three jutsus. It had been over a year since then. Though he did some other things as well like creating the Eight Trigrams Divination Seal, investigating Jashin, mastering the Mind Reading technique, learning the Rasenshuriken and creating the Phantom Haven Society, more than 90% of the time he spent other than sleeping was on training these three techniques.
Even for someone as disciplined and focused as Fujin, he had started to feel a sense of exhaustion. As a result, he was extremely glad to finally have reached a stage where he could stop focusing on them.
Fujin continued analyzing, 'I can finally train something else. The two obvious things that I'll start focusing on soon are Spirit Transformation jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu along with more in-depth knowledge of poisons.
I am not sure how long it'll take to master the Spirit Transformation jutsu. I just hope that it isn't as difficult as the Flying Thunder God jutsu. Hopefully, the fact that I have transmigrated might help.
As for the Medical Ninjutsu and poison, I never loved studying Biology and Chemistry in my previous life. Granted it could just be because it wasn't as interesting as in this world and I couldn't get superpowers by studying it. Regardless, even if I can generate enough interest, neither of those two things is simple to learn.
Despite being excellent academically and having the best Medical Ninja helping her, Sakura still needed 3 years to reach the level she did. It's not the kind of time I can afford to spend right now…
Fortunately, I can use the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu. Considering how much Yoshi and Isamu have pestered me to become a Medical Ninja even after my identity as the Spectral Swordsman was leaked and I became a Council Member, I will ensure that I am the last ever student they teach!
Anyway, both Medical Ninjutsu and Spirit Transformation jutsu can wait for the time being. I have been putting off improving my Fuinjutsu for a long time. It's time to raise my Fuinjutsu to the next level!'
Fujin looked at his palms. Immediately, the seal imprints that he had on his palm began glowing. Fuinjutsu was something that was very crucial to Fujin's plans. In addition, he was extremely fascinated by the kind of things it could achieve.
Fujin thought, 'Even though I am a Fuinjutsu Grandmaster, I am probably the one with the least expertise in seals among all the Grandmasters… When compared with someone like Sasori who was already making Human Puppets when he was my age, I'm lacking a lot.
Every SealMaster who becomes a Grandmaster spends a lot of time improving the existing seals and creating new ones. There is no question that even Hiruzen, Danzo and the Sannins are far superior to me in this aspect.
Danzo can add his imprint to a seal making it impossible for anyone else to remove his curse seals. Creating that arm might have needed a lot of Juinjutsu as well. Hiruzen is likely superior to Danzo in these aspects. Tsunade could create the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Orochimaru can store parts of his soul in a seal that applies on others.
By comparison, my usage of Fuinjutsu is very basic. I just nullify that weakness to an extent by using a ridiculous amount of seals, deterring anyone who intends to mess with my seals. However, if Hiruzen or Danzo decide to enter my house while I'm not in the village, the seals won't be able to stop them. They'll just need a long time to do so and they won't be able to cover up the fact that they undid my seals.
However, if I improve upon my seals, then they might not be able to do that. Unfortunately, improving seals isn't something that can be done very easily. It takes years, or rather decades to achieve that even with Shadow Clones. It's not something I can do in the short term.
Unless I can understand what those Jashin seals do, the only way to improve rapidly is by copying what other Grandmasters have already achieved, like I copied the properties of Danzo's curse seals to create the Phantom Seal.
So, I'll only focus on two things. The first is to make the seals more usable in battle. The way to do this is simple. I need to create battlefields using Seals like how Uchiha Sora did. The only change I need to make is that instead of needing half an hour to set up the battlefield, I want it to appear in an instant. These battlefields will become my hunting grounds.
Other than the battlefields, the other thing to improve upon is the Eight Trigrams Divination Seal. If I can improve it in the way I envision, my strength will improve by leaps and bounds! Unfortunately, this will be very difficult. I can just hope that I can find the perfect combination before the Chunin Exams begin…'
Fujin muttered, "Oh well, time to start creating a battlefield. Creating one at the same level as Uchiha Sora will be difficult to start with. I'll begin by creating a stealth-oriented battlefield."
Fujin entered his basement. Immediately, a hundred Shadow Clones appeared next to him. Without wasting any time, everyone got to work.
Three days passed. While Fujin became busy with his training again, Kakashi had a few eventful days. Lying in his bed, he had a peculiar expression as he wondered, 'What exactly happened with those three? They suddenly began acting suspiciously…'
In the last few days, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura had all made moves on him, or rather his book and his mask. They first tried sneaking up on him which resulted in him grabbing each one of them by the back of their necks like he was grabbing cats. When he asked what they were up to, they all made excuses.
Next, they tried distracting him and taking his book. Unsurprisingly, that failed either. Since the straightforward methods didn't work, they became innovative. They began transforming into strangers and animals and running into Kakashi while he was walking in the streets.
Unknown to them, Kakashi could perfectly smell their scents. As a result, they never succeeded in their attempts. Regardless, while their initial attempts had been amusing, Kakashi had started to get slightly irritated as they kept increasing the intensity.
After thinking for a bit, Kakashi wondered, 'Did someone put them up to it? But who could it be? Lord Hokage? Hmm, I don't see why he would do that. Eh?'
It was late at night. Most of the Konoha were asleep. Had Kakashi not been wondering about the recent events, he might have slept as well. To his surprise, someone broke into his house!
