But, Before Going back to the training grounds he stopped by the library and picked up a book and two scrolls respectively.
The title of the book was "intermediate fuinjutsu applications and principles" it was the second volume of the previous book he finished not long ago on fuinjutsu and he was going to start it today.
As for the scrolls, they were two important things that will be very helpful to him now as they covered two of his weaknesses.
On the first scroll was a defensive jutsu that he picked that is very versatile and that'll come in handy in most situations, Earth style: earth wall jutsu.
As for the second one that covered the second weakness that he had, it was a scroll about Genjutsu.
Taking those three items with him he left the library and immediately headed towards the training grounds, reaching there he sat down crosse legged beside the river, in the same spot that he used for his Rasengan training and started reading the book on fuinjutsu, but, it didn't take long for him to close it and put it aside, just reading the first page gave him a headache, "I'll leave it for later." he said and took a scroll from beside him.
As he opened the first scroll and looked through it he saw that it was the genjutsu one, but as he read further his wish to quickly add Genjutsu to his arsenal and cover that shortcoming of his completely shattered.
Looking at the first lines on the scroll they said the following:
Apparently, This line is written at the beginning of every Genjutsu scroll so that people without enough chakra control don't waste their time on it.
And although his chakra control wasn't the worst he also wasn't that arrogant to believe that it was enough.
"I am not worried about the intelligence part, but, the chakra control will definitely be a problem, sigh, there goes my hope to cover this weakness as soon as possible, I guess I can wait for a little bit longer till I have enough control over my chakra before trying to learn it again." he said sighting but he still wasn't disheartened.
Coming to terms with the fact that he can't learn Genjutsu for now he took the second scroll and opened it, first he read a basic description about the jutsu and its uses before moving on to what he really wanted, the required hand signs, which were seven in total and memorising them.
As he started practising a little to get familiar with them he could feel the chakra moving in his body in a specific way with each hand sign, but, he didn't let it out, he just kept repeating the hand signs again and again till he felt comfortable with them.
But, while he was practising the hand signs he suddenly had a crazy thought, 'If I can create a fuinjutsu seal on my body that can move my chakra in a specific way similar to the way it moves when I use hand signs then won't I be able to use jutsus without any hand signs when I trigger the seal?.' he thought.
'Technically speaking one doesn't even need hand signs to perform a jutsu, Indra was the one that created them to make performing jutsu a lot easier and to allow normal people who possess chakra to use jutsu, before that hand signs were never used,'
'Following that line of thought, if I can have enough control of my chakra won't I be able to do the same as Indra naturally? but how terrifying is the level of chakra control required for that
!?.' he couldn't help but shudder as he thought about it.
Not long ago he experienced the benefits of having good chakra control and he wasn't even that good at it, 'A person like that who can cast jutsu without hand signs, can probably create thousands of fireballs with the same amount of chakra I currently use to create just one, they most likely can recover chakra faster then they can use it, and to think that me, who was previously just a normal person now have a chance to reach that level' he couldn't help but get excited as he thought about it, about when he could get that strong and about how lucky he was to end up here.
Getting a new surge of motivation he pulled himself from his daydreaming and went back to the signs for the earth wall that he was still practising all along, seeing that he got the hang of them he got up and ran towards the forest before stopping.
As for the reason why he ran all the way to the forest and to test it and didn't just test it where he was is that he doesn't want an earth wall facing him every time he went down here as where he was previously was close to the entrance and the forest is far enough for him not to notice.
Taking a deep breath and exhaling his eyes hardened and he quickly went through the required hand signs, as he finished he placed both his hands on the floor and yelled, "Earth Style: Earth wall jutsu."Of course, the jutsu would've worked just fine without him yelling its name but he just felt like doing it this time for some reason.
Immediately after a 3-meter (9.8ft) tall rock wall came out from the ground in front of him blocking his view.
Inspecting the wall he couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction while commenting, "this will do for now but with enough practice, I'll be able to execute it faster and use even fewer hand signs, plus this will work perfectly in sync with hiding like a mole jutsu it's like they were made for each other, cover yourself with the wall and hide underground to sneak on the enemy, the perfect strategy, well against non-sensors of course."
Next, he checked his chakra reserves and noticed that the jutsu had taken about 5% of his total chakra," it's not a lot to be honest considering my small chakra pool due to my age and s*ity chakra control, but I guess it's mostly because am not creating something from chakra, like the fire style jutsu, am just raising already existing earth." he thought analyzing the jutsu.
Feeling satisfied with his new defensive jutsu he spent the next hours till the sun went down (not that he'll know) practising, from sign weaving speed, shurikenjutsu to Kenjutsu(sword style) but this time on the wooden targets, he also practised tree and water walking exercises trying to make it second nature for him as it'll improve his chakra control.
Finishing his practice for the day he picked up the book and the scrolls and headed towards the library, putting the scrolls back into their place, although he kept the book with him, from today onward he'll read it before going to bed and after waking up, he plans to make it a habit so he'll learn it faster and never miss a day of fuinjutsu learning.
Leaving the library he went to the kitchen and prepared the fish he caught before and ate to his heart's content since a long while.
When he was done with his meal he washed the dishes, took a shower and went to bed, not forgetting to read the intermediate fuinjutsu book and try to comprehend its mysteries for a couple of hours before sleeping he finally called it a day.
