Chapter 285: Ambition!

Fujin stretched his body casually as he wondered, 'Should I increase the intensity of the training seal? Though I didn't train my body for almost 3 months, I did eat healthy and ran a lot. Alright, I'll increase it from 40 to 45%.'

Fujin had long reached the maximum limit on the training seal that Hiruzen had created for him during his academy days. During his time in the Anbu, he had replaced it with a new training seal that he created. This one could apply four times the max pressure and resistance as the previous seal.

Forgetting about all the turmoil he created a few days ago, he began training with maximum intensity once again and continued for four hours straight before going to Ichiraku for breakfast.

As he ate the ramen, a smile could be seen on his face. He thought, 'Now this is a good life. Sleep long, train hard, eat delicious food and don't worry about anything else. If I can't break through the limits to reach the top and events progress just as they did in the original story, then perhaps I'll retire after the 4th War and recreate all the famous fast food chains from my previous world here.'

Ayame noticed Fujin's good mood and asked, "What's the good news, Fujin?"

Fujin shook his head and replied, "No good news. Just missed the ramen for the past few months."

Teuchi smiled and said, "It's good to have you back again, Fujin."

Fujin nodded. He lifted the bowl and drank the soup and said, "Thank You for the meal. I'll see you tomorrow."

Ayame replied, "Take care, Fujin. Don't train too much."

Fujin nodded and left. As he walked back to the training ground, he thought, 'Though a retired life enjoying all the delicacies sounds pleasant, it'd be a pity if that's all I manage to do after working so hard.

My current strength is pretty much at the Elite Jounin level. S rank is still quite far, but I feel that it is just a matter of time before I reach it as long as I keep training hard. I should reach it before Akatsuki starts collecting the tailed beasts.

And, if I can learn Senjutsu or Flying Thunder God, I'll be able to rise all the way to the peak of S rank reaching a similar level as Jiraiya or Minato. Perhaps only Nagato and Obito would be able to keep up with me then.

However, once I reach that stage, getting any stronger will be difficult. If I ignore the Otsutsuki, only four ninjas are known to surpass that level. They are Hashirama, Madara, Naruto and Sasuke. But, Madara and Sasuke were able to do it due to Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Naruto did it due to Kurama. As for Hashirama, he is just ridiculous. No point in thinking about him.

The only way I could potentially keep up with them is if I capture and seal a Tailed Beast in me or through the Eight Inner Gates. But even these have limits and dangers and aren't sure-fire.'

The Wind Explosion Clone immediately got out of the way. At the same time, two spheres of Wind began forming in his hands. However, instead of forming proper spheres, the jutsu collapsed! The Wind Explosion Clone was surprised and looked at his hand while thinking, 'What the hell? I can't use a simple D rank jutsu?'

The Wind Clone immediately took advantage of the opening and built up his chakra.

'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'

The Wind Explosion Clone immediately noticed the incoming attack and flickered out of range. He tried making Wind Explosion Spheres again but failed.

Fujin observed the fight and realized, 'I see. Since the balance is so off, the Wind Explosion Clone can't use normal jutsus. More likely, it can only use jutsus that require more Yang Chakra. I guess the only way to use this clone is to flicker and explode.

But, despite this, distinguishing between this and a normal wind clone is quite tough. Once I am able to make this clone without any hand signs, I can confuse my opponents with ease. So the effect would be quite similar to if the clone could use jutsus.'

As Fujin analyzed, the Wind Explosion Clone couldn't form any jutsu at all. So he gave up and flickered towards the Wind Clone to self-destruct and make the fight a draw. However, the Wind Clone immediately flickered away and the two began a game of tag.

Fujin watched with a deadpan expression as he thought, 'I created you two to test out the differences. Why the hell are you two playing tag?'

He immediately dispelled both the clones and analyzed, 'Making this clone without seals shouldn't be difficult. But I'll leave it for later after I become used to using it. It'll save time.'

Fujin began weaving hand seals again. Anticipation could be seen in his eyes. Of the jutsus he found, he was the most excited about this jutsu.

'Wind Release: Assassin's Rush jutsu'

Immediately, a high amount of chakra began flowing around Fujin. The chakra was rapidly converted into Wind and in an instant, a vast amount of wind was forced behind him. The wind blasted multiple trees behind him and uprooted them. At the same time, Fujin disappeared and travelled in a straight line at a speed far exceeding the speed of Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu!

In the blink of an eye, Fujin appeared in front of a boulder. Chakra concentrated in his fist as he punched the boulder. The boulder was instantly blown apart! And a wide grin could be seen on Fujin's face.

He analyzed, 'Great speed! Though it uses a lot more chakra than flickering, it will be very domineering in a battle. With practice, I'll be able to sustain the wind longer and even change my direction freely.

Combined with my swordplay or Senju Taijutsu Style, it will be extremely lethal. Not to mention, it also prevents any attacks on my back. Alright, I'll master this jutsu right away!'
