Naruto: The Wind Calamity

In a corner of the library, a small kid was staring at a scroll he had opened in front of him. However, unknown to anyone who watched him, his mind was working on something else entirely.

Fujin thought, 'Alright, let's first start with what I can do right now. My chakra control is pretty decent thanks to daily leaf concentration exercise. I should attempt something along the lines of tree climbing soon.

My chakra reserve also has been developing consistently thanks to a combination of physical exercises and meditation and also due to consistently straining my chakra to its limits.

My chakra shape manipulation is going well too. Once my chakra level increases more, I should be able to proceed further. So my plans for chakra control, chakra shape manipulation and increasing chakra reserves should be good enough. Though there's no harm in getting more means of increasing my chakra reserves.

The most important thing I have in my arsenal is my wind nature manipulation training. I have already completed leaf cutting months back, and though I didn't attempt waterfall cutting, I have progressed further as I can now cut branches with rather ease. This much should be more than enough to perform many wind style jutsus. And since my own affinity is also wind, it becomes all the more important. That said, I do wonder if I can make my wind nature more potent by trying to cut tougher materials, maybe like a stone next followed by metal. Oh well, I'll experiment later.

Anyways one thing I definitely need to do is learn a bunch of wind style jutsus. I should read up every rank E and D wind style jutsus in this library, and try to learn the useful ones over the next year or two. Preferably try to find wind jutsus that would allow me to form a good combat system that can allow me to defend, attack and evade.

Apart from this, I also need to learn an additional element. Hmm, fire, lightning, earth and water… Which one should I focus on?'

On analyzing for a few minutes, he thought, 'Alright, Lightning and Wind isn't really the best combo, so lightning's out for the time being. Fire and water can combine very well with wind, especially fire. But I'll need a shadow clone to use it effectively. And anyways, this is the land of fire, so my teammates are very likely to have this element anyways. That leaves earth. I don't think wind and earth combine, however I can stick to using wind style for offense and earth style for defense. I hope this library has that jutsu which Kakuzu used to harden his body. With that jutsu for defense along with Wind style for offense should be a very effective and annoying combination.

Alright, I'll choose Earth as my second element. And I'll keep working on it for the next few years to master these 2 elements. Other elements can wait till I'm able to pull off multiple shadow clones successfully.

Apart from that, basic justus should be learned as well. Normal clones don't provide much help in combat, but they should at least serve as a base for shadow clones and elemental clones. Transformation has a lot of uses though, from disguise to transforming into weapons. Substitution is the most useful of the 3, and something I'll keep using even if I became as strong as the Kages.

So I've to give special focus to substitution jutsu. Alongside this, I'll also have to learn and master Shunshin (Body Flicker) jutsu. Those two techniques will be vital for evasion and running away. Perhaps more than wind style jutsus, these two will be more critical to master first.

Yeah, this should become a good combat system. Wind style jutsus to attack, earth style jutsus to defend and substitution and body flicker to evade.

The next to work on would be Taijutsu. My daily morning workout has ensured that my physical capabilities are top tier among the current students. Sadly I can't grant any more time for it, so I guess I'll have to increase the difficulty of the workout somehow. Perhaps weights or some seals. As for Taijutsu, the academy teaches its own Taijutsu style. I should check that out before planning further.

As for Genjutsu, I can't work much on it right now. Let's leave it for the future.

That leaves me with Kenjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Sensing capabilities and fuinjutsu.

Medical Ninjutsu can wait. Kenjutsu is important for me. I will need to learn how to channel my chakra through weapons and charge it with wind nature. That would make my offense very lethal. However, this can wait for the time being too as I won't have to fight anything soon.

Fuinjutsu is something I can work on now. With the books for basics available, I should see whether it is suited for me or not.

Sensing is pretty essential too. I'll probably need the assistance of academy teachers to understand how to become a good sensor. While I haven't tried it yet for safety issues, I believe focusing chakra in the eyes, nose or ears should heighten those senses a lot. However, what I'm more interested in is sensing chakras. That ability should be very helpful when I'm out of the village.

So let's see. The Academy is open from Monday to Friday, with holidays on Saturday and Sunday. And it runs from morning 8 am to afternoon 3 pm.

Mornings are assigned to physical workouts. I get two and half hours for it. In the future, practice of Taijutsu forms will have to be included here as well.

During academy lectures, most training can't really happen. But I wonder if nature transformation can be worked upon. Something like leaf cutting can easily be hidden under the desk, I need to check what's the initial training method for earth nature and see whether it can be done in class. Though I hope that Genki ain't a sensor, otherwise he'll catch me and forbid me from doing it.

From 3 to 10 pm, I have time to train. I can eliminate one hour from there for travelling and eating and other miscellaneous stuff.

That leaves me six hours to work on basic jutsus, wind jutsus, weapon throwing, Fuinjutsu, sensing chakra and meditation. Clearly not enough time. So what to do?'

And he fell into deep analysis again. After calculating for some time, he came to the conclusion, 'Alright, of all these things, meditation is compulsory to do daily. For others, there are basically two options. One is to do these things on different days, and the second is to only focus on a few of these. While the first option sounds tempting, the issue is that with me trying to learn so many different things, would cause me to be less focused on everything and might be detrimental for me. For instance, with me practicing so many things, trying to learn 8 inner gates from Guy might be impossible as it requires strict dedication to Taijutsu.

Fuinjutsu is also a major issue. It should be a very vast concept with a lot of theories to focus on which will take a lot of time to learn. It's probably for the best to only learn it after I can make Shadow clones. Sadly, this would mean I can't make some easy money by making and selling Explosion tags or storage scrolls.

Among basic jutsus and wind jutsus, for the time being, let's put focus on basic jutsus. Once I have got those down, I'll start to focus on wind style jutsus.

So for the next few months, the time after academy should be spent on mastering those basic jutsus, shuriken and Kunai throwing, sensing chakra and meditation.

I currently have no idea as to how to sense chakra. I'll have to dig up theories in the library and consult Genki. That'll also allow me to know whether he is a sensor or not.

For weapon throwing, let's just wait up until that class is conducted. That way I won't increase any wrong habits I have and correct the form required while throwing them quicker.

As for those basic jutsus, I can get them easily from this library, I just have to understand the theories behind hand signs and how to perform them properly. It should be covered in the academy soon, so hopefully it won't be an issue for long.'

With that he stopped thinking for a bit and summarised everything he planned. He then thought, 'Alright, this plan seems to be good enough for now. I should get the required knowledge from the academy soon and can always bug all the senseis if I have any queries. I wonder how strong I'll become after a couple of years of this training.'

He chuckled, finally starting to read the scroll he had taken.
