Fujin woke at 4 AM and stretched his hands. He looked out of the window to see that it was still dark outside. He thought, 'Damn, it feels like I have been sleeping for days!'

He began freshening up while thinking, 'I am really not in the mood to train today…'

Fujin wondered if he should take another day off. In the end, he sighed and left for the training ground thinking, 'I won't get strong enough if I train only when I feel like it. I need to continue grinding. It's pretty much the only reason I have an advantage over my peers.'

He began with his intense morning workout. As he trained he thought, 'No wonder there are so few S rank ninjas. I come from a world where such powers were a dream of pretty much everyone. And yet I am getting tired of the continuous training. For those who are born in this world, to keep training like this is very unrealistic. Only the select few who choose to keep training non-stop or are blessed with godly talent would even have a chance of reaching that level.

No, even those guys eventually stop training. Though Hiruzen is as strong as he is, I doubt that he has trained seriously in years. After all, pretty much all Kage bury themselves in politics and administration. No wonder Guy surpassed them all. After all, no matter what level he was at, he kept his training at maximum intensity every single day.'

Having motivated himself, Fujin trained as hard as he could. After the morning workout, he practiced the Vacuum Cannon jutsu a few times and rested for half an hour. After catching his breath and eating a few ration bars, he went to his basement.

He decided, 'Time to learn the next set of Lightning jutsus. Rank D Burst jutsu, Rank C Lightning Transformation jutsu and Rank B Electric Skin jutsu.'

Fujin made the hand signs for the Burst jutsu. He transformed some of his chakra into Lightning and began expelling electric currents from his body. If someone saw Fujin, they would see Lightning flowing through Fujin's body.

Fujin focused his attention and analyzed, 'Another easy jutsu. Though it makes sense. After all, the only purpose of this jutsu is to teach new genins how to control Lightning chakra properly. Its only battle use is that if someone is stupid enough to touch me while I am releasing such electricity, then they would be electrocuted. However…'

Fujin tried taking a step forward but had a lot of difficulty in doing so. He sighed and released the jutsu, 'However while using this jutsu, the user can't move. The electric currents hinder my movements instead of assisting them. So anyone who uses this in battle is pretty much a sitting duck. Still, this jutsu should be quite useful to get my body used to Electric shocks and allow me to understand how to release Lightning from any part of my body..'

Fujin repeated the jutsu four more times. He didn't have any difficulty using it. He tried making the jutsu more usable by releasing lightning from just one part of his body but failed to do so. He concluded, 'Looks like this jutsu won't be helpful for that. I guess that the way to do this would be to first manage to do this jutsu without any hand signs. Once releasing Lightning becomes second nature to me, doing that will become very easy. But, I should learn the other two jutsus first as they are quite similar but better.'

Fujin decided to learn the Lightning Transformation jutsu next. He weaved the hand signs for the jutsu. Soon, Lightning appeared on his body. His entire body was covered with Lightning. He tried to take a step forward but suddenly stopped, "That fucking hurts!"

The Lightning around his body dispersed. Fujin shook his left leg while thinking, 'So embarrassing! The lighting around my body zapped my left leg. I guess it makes sense as the Lighting I released was much stronger than with the Burst jutsu.'

Fujin waited until his left leg felt normal. Though it stung him, it was only for a few seconds, so he wasn't injured. He analyzed, 'Hmm, I am not ready to use this jutsu yet. I should treat my body with the Burst jutsu continuously and slowly increase its power output. That way, my body will slowly get used to Electricity. Once I develop a sufficient degree of endurance, I can try the Lightning Transformation jutsu.

A shame really, I was kinda excited to try this and the Electric skin jutsu. Lightning Transformation will allow me to move at tremendous speeds. Though I can't change directions, I can bounce off other objects till I reach my target.

Electric Skin jutsu also works on similar principles. It conducts electricity on the skin and boosts the power of any Lightning jutsus used. And the Lightning could electrocute someone who'd try to touch me just like the other two jutsus.

After I master these two jutsus, I will be able to move at speeds comparable to body flicker and zap my enemies on touch. Though it isn't comparable to Raikage's lightning chakra mode, it will still be very handy and should help me dominate weaker ninjas. This speed will be the basis of my Lightning combat system.'

Fujin began training his body to endure Lightning with the help of the Burst jutsu. He increased the power of the jutsu gradually such that he would be able to endure but his body would feel pain.

The jutsu used very little chakra, so Fujin kept at it for hours until he realized something, 'Shit! While it ached initially, now this pain feels good!'

He was left speechless by the development and a bit worried as he muttered in a sigh, "I hope I don't develop any weird fetishes. I have no interest in becoming another perverted ninja!"

Fujin kept training until he was interrupted when he heard his bell ringing. Fujin wondered, 'Who'd come to see me at this time?'

He stopped training and spread his chakra field.

Outside Fujin's door, a man was standing. He had a very peculiar expression on his face. He muttered, "When did this brat learn Fuinjutsu? And why the hell is his house covered in hundreds of seals? Even I can't be sure that I have identified all the seals!"

Fujin was surprised by who he sensed. He muttered, "He is back? I wonder where he was for so long."

Fujin left the basement and made a hand sign. The entrance to the basement was sealed and disguised. Fujin walked to the door wondering, 'Will he be able to sense the basement?'

Fujin opened the door and said very respectfully, "Hello Sensei. Welcome to my humble house."

Renjiro's eyes twitched once again. He thought, 'Your home is anything but humble!'

Knowing his student's antics, he sighed and said, "I see that you haven't changed one bit."

Fujin tilted his head and asked, "Why would I change Sensei?"

Renjiro ignored his question and entered the house. He said, "I have a lot of questions to ask you. Let me start with this."

He looked into Fujin's eyes and asked, "Why did you get such a huge house and that too so far away from the center of the village?"

Fujin replied, "Houses are expensive. And since I had the money, I decided to spend a lot just one time instead of worrying about switching houses later. Also, there isn't really anything else that I would like to spend my money on. I would have liked to buy the elemental stones, but I don't know where to buy them."

Renjiro replied, "Makes sense. You wouldn't be able to buy the elemental stones in the market. Lord Hokage has some facilities that allow Anbu to use elemental stones. So if you get an offer to join Anbu in the future, take it."

Fujin thought, 'Anbu… Unless the level of a rank B mission gets elevated to rank A, almost all rank B missions are quite boring and not so useful. Looks like joining Anbu would be the way to get exposure to better fights. Though I would prefer to join after the Root is disbanded.'

Fujin asked, "Sensei, how can I join the Anbu?"

Renjiro answered, "It isn't in your hands. If Lord Hokage thinks that you are worthy of being included in Anbu, he will call you and ask you."

Fujin said, "Oh. Alright, I'll wait then."

Renjiro chuckled on hearing his reply. Fujin's words showed that he had no doubts about his capabilities.

Renjiro asked, "So, when did you become an expert with Fuinjutsu?"

Fujin looked at Renjiro thinking, 'As expected, he discovered them.'

Fujin replied, "I learnt it sometime after our squad was disbanded."

Renjiro stared at Fujin but Fujin didn't say anything. Renjiro asked, "Fuinjutsu is extremely complicated. I have seen extremely talented ninjas slam their foreheads on failing to learn Fuinjutsu. You want to tell me that you learnt Fuinjutsu in slightly more than half a year?"

Fujin replied, "Complicated? I found it pretty fun and easy to learn. Though it has a lot of theory and symbols, I sped up the learning process with shadow clones."

Renjiro was surprised. He asked, "You spammed shadow clones to learn Fuinjutsu faster? You do know that it can be dangerous, right?"

Fujin nodded, "Yeah, it gives headaches. So I was careful with the number of clones and what they were learning."

While speaking, he looked up at Renjiro. Renjiro identified the look in Fujin's eyes. He had seen it numerous times.

Fujin continued, "But my biggest headache was to use the Shadow clone jutsu a dozen times every single time. Sensei, could you teach me the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu?"

Renjiro was left speechless. He thought, 'I have just returned from a 3-month long mission. And this brat doesn't even take 3 minutes to ask me for a jutsu! And he does it so naturally too!'
