On waking up the next morning, Fujin looked out of the window, to notice that the sky was still dark. He thought, 'Whoa, I woke up really early. Seems like it's just 5 am yet. Oh well, I basically slept the whole day yesterday, little wonder I woke up so soon. Anyways, I suppose I'll have to make a habit of it if I really intend to get strong. On the plus side, the damned headache has finally gone away!'
He got out of his bed, to notice that Eichi and Daisuke are still fast asleep. Not expecting little kids to wake up anytime soon, he freshened up and got out of his room. He then walked out of the orphanage building. The orphanage had a decent size playground for the kids towards the north side. Whereas, on the east and south sides it had a lot of trees which looked sort of like a mini forest. It seems that Konoha has a lot of such mini-forests throughout the village. And many such areas were used as training grounds for ninjas. Luckily or unluckily, there wasn't any such training ground in the vicinity of the orphanage. The western side had residential areas, and had a market a few hundred meters away. Fujin thought, 'The forest could potentially provide me some cover and privacy. While it's probably not the best place, it does provide me with an option to do some secret training. Other than that, I'd also need to see if and when I could have my orphanage room all to myself. Anyways, I suppose I should start with some warm up and see how much this body can be pushed.'Ñøv€l-B1n was the first platform to present this chapter.
Finally ending his train of thoughts, Fujin started to stretch his body in order to loosen up the muscles. After around 10 minutes of stretching, he started to run around the playground. In his estimate, the circumference of the playground was around a hundred metres. He was able to complete the initial few rounds with ease, but soon started getting tired. After pushing himself to the limit, he was able to complete 28 rounds around the playground. Taking deep breaths, he thought, 'Wow, I ran nearly 3 kilometres! There's no way I could have ran even a kilometre at 5 years old in my previous life. And I don't recall this guy doing any exercises before I took over his body. I wonder if it's due to the bodies of the people in this world being much stronger, or if me unlocking Chakra made the body stronger somehow. I'm guessing it's the former as I just unlocked Chakra yesterday. Alright, I'll take a short break and get back to it.'
Either way, there's not much of an option right now. Of all the 5 natures, I only know the proper training method for wind nature as it was covered properly. The training for remaining natures will just be a wild guess for me. So probably best to delay their training till academy starts. Until then, I'll master the wind nature, irrespective of whether it is my affinity or not.' Fujin then channeled his chakra, and tried to cut the leaf into two.
The training continued without any success for half an hour, when a bell rang throughout the orphanage. The bell signified that breakfast was available. Eichi and Daisuke woke up as soon as the bell rang. Looking at Fujin sitting on the bed, Daisuke said, "Morning, you woke up early?". Fujin replied, "Morning, I had slept too early, probably that's why." Eichi then said, "Good morning, it's nice to see you ain't screaming today." Following which, both Daisuke and Eichi laughed at Fujin's expense. Fujin showed an embarrassed expression and replied, "Yeah whatever, I'll head down for breakfast. Make sure you two sleepyheads come down before it's all over." On hearing this, both Eichi and Daisuke ran to grab their toothbrush.
Over the next week, the same pattern followed. Fujin woke up early, did morning exercises, and noticed his two roommates seem to only wake up when the bell rang. And whenever he had the opportunity, he tried to cut the leaf. He also added practicing punching and kicking in his morning exercises. He noticed that Eichi and Daisuke were mostly out playing with everyone else. So the room was empty most of the time. This was especially true after morning breakfast (around 10am-noon) and a few hours before dinner (around 4-6pm).
With that information, he finally started practicing the leaf concentration exercise in order to improve his chakra control in that period. Here, a leaf was placed on the forehead, and all his chakra is directed onto the leaf, using it as the focal point. Along with improving chakra control, it also aided in improving concentration. Fujin recalled Naruto remembering its importance while mastering Rasengan. Fujin not participating in playing with other kids was suspicious, but thanks to the fact that the orphanage was already overcrowded, no one paid much attention to him. The screaming and falling unconscious event was long forgotten. Only his 2 friends were upset that he didn't play with them much any longer. In order to prevent any more suspicion on him, while doing the leaf concentration exercise, Fujin used to sit on the bed in such a manner that his back faced the door. If anyone abruptly entered the room, he'd instantly stop the exercise and make the leaf isn't visible to anyone entering the room. Luckily for him, there wasn't much interference.
