It had been one year since i got the letter and my life has changed a lot till now . Academy was within the third year and we only had two years remaining.
During this time i had a great increase in my strength and i believe myself to be atleast at high chunin level.My taijutsu was high chunin level along with my kenjutsu being low chunin .My water and wind release were trained to the second stages perfectly and i have started my earth manipulation training.My biggest leap was in my fuinjutsu practice as i had touched the beginning of fourth level fuinjutsu making me a pseudo seal master according to normal standards.
With snooping around the library i also learned two jutsus ,the shuriken kage bunshin no jutsu and the kunai kage bunshin no jutsu which were pretty much aligned to my fighting style.
Inside konoha i had gained possession of more than five apartment complexes along with three restaurants and two hotels making my monthly earning a whopping 16 lakhs ryo per month. I sold my contracted exploding tags and flash tags to few of the weapon shops in konoha and a merchant caravan which visited last summer giving me a profit of 183 lakhs ryo in total.
During this year with the help of my capital I bought 28 taverns all around the Fire nation nations which worked as a source of my spy network. Setting up the spy network was a difficult task . With the help of my shadow clones and reinforcement seal and my sealing knowledge i developed a complex circuit of mechanism which connected all the taverns together and filtered the information where a permanent shadow clone was stationed. The shadow clone acted as a filter and drew chakra from nature developing a cycle which never ceased.
This year was a crucial year for me as the uchiha massacre would soon commence. I had also developed a detailed plan regarding it making me quite proud of it.
During the second year exams my ranking jumped to the tenth place making me quite popular within my class. My chakra control excercises were pretty much over as last month I had completed the waterfall walking excercise.
The only challenge i needed to overcome was to make a chakra scalpel which will soar my combat and taijutsu capablity to the next level.
With these accomplishments in mind I also read the journal of my grandfather which opened my eyes to the world . I could see glimpses of his attitude through me at certain times as he had unknowingly became an inspirational model to me on whose footsteps i wanted to follow on my journey.
