Feng Zheng woke up at 4:30 AM. After washing up, he adjusted the pressure of his Sealing Jutsu training to 60% and headed to the designated Training Grounds.
He started with the physical training Renjiro used to put them through. He trained diligently until 9:00 AM.
After a short break and some food, he began practicing the Air Bullet Technique. His goal was to reduce the required Hand Seals to zero!
He trained for several hours, then took a break for lunch. After lunch, he trained for a few more hours until his Chakra began to drop to very low levels.
He sighed, thinking.
"This is foolish... I didn't account for my Chakra running out! Especially when practicing a Rank B Ninjutsu. Hmm, what to do now...?"
"I can increase my stamina by taking soldier pills. But that's not healthy in the long run. I should spend my time on other activities."
"When my Chakra is about to run out, I should go to the Library to read Sealing Technique scrolls. But first, I'll go to Ichiraku Ramen. And once my Chakra has recovered, I can do something less Chakra-intensive. So, I can practice Taijutsu or Kenjutsu."
"Hmm, I'll do that. I'll practice Kenjutsu with a Shadow Clone."
Feng Zheng headed to Ichiraku Ramen. He ate a few bowls of ramen to fill his stomach, then went to the Library. He thought.
"I've already finished reading the Sealing Jutsu scrolls in Section E and Section D during my time at the academy. Now, I'll go see what's in the scrolls in Section C."
He entered Section C of the Library. He searched around and found the scrolls he was looking for.
He grabbed the scrolls and walked to a table, sitting down. The title of the scroll was — "Intermediate Sealing Technique Guide."
He opened the scroll and began to read.
He read the entire scroll in one sitting, concluding.
"So, the Finger Engraving Sealing Jutsu is already intermediate level. The Five Elements Seal is also intermediate... Considering this barrier once stopped a Jinchuriki, a Medical Ninja second only to Tsunade, an S-Rank Ninja, and a former S-Rank Ninja, I thought its rank would be higher... Nevertheless, it is very complex. Learning it will be difficult."
"The Binding Cloth Technique is also here. This is what's used to seal the Edo Tensei. However, the Sealing Tag isn't here. Without that Sealing Tag, the Binding Cloth Technique is somewhat useless.
"Finally, there's detailed information on how to make Exploding Tags."
"Alas, the content of these scrolls is disappointing. I hope the scrolls in Section B have more and better Sealing Jutsu."
He closed the scroll, put it back in its place, and headed to Section B.
The number of scrolls in Section B was very small. However, when he found what he was looking for, he was greatly surprised!
Feng Zheng thought.
"What is going on? Section C had almost nothing related to Sealing Jutsu. And this section has 6 scrolls?"
He began to read out the name of each scroll. Their titles were —
"Advanced Sealing Technique Theory."
"Miscellaneous Sealing Jutsu I."
"Miscellaneous Sealing Jutsu II."
"Miscellaneous Sealing Jutsu III."
"Battlefield Sealing Jutsu."
"Sealing Tag."
Feng Zheng picked up the "Advanced Sealing Theory" scroll and began to read. This scroll contained a lot of advanced theory about Sealing Jutsu.
It introduced some special characters needed to create more Sealing Jutsu and described information from other scrolls.
After Feng Zheng finished reading, he analyzed.
"There's too much extra theory, but many of them haven't been successfully implemented yet."
"In short, the Miscellaneous Sealing Jutsu scrolls clearly contain many Sealing Jutsu that can make daily life more convenient. They are for the benefit of ordinary people and promote safer trade and transportation. It seems this was a project initiated by the Whirlpool Hidden Village, but it was left unfinished due to its destruction."
"The Battlefield Sealing Jutsu scroll contains some Sealing Jutsu that can be used on the battlefield. Although they are not useful in actual combat, they can be used for other purposes."
"Finally, there's the Sealing Tag scroll. This is what I wanted most!"
"And, the scroll also says that if I can learn all the Sealing Jutsu in these five scrolls, I can become a Sealing Master!"
He put the scroll back in its place, picked up the Sealing Tag scroll, and began to read. His excitement immediately dropped a bit.
He analyzed.
"There are only three types of Sealing Jutsu here. The Sealing Tag, which can be used to seal Edo Tensei, and also to prevent summons, has quite a few uses. Then there's the Chakra Suppression Seal that Renjiro used. Finally, there's the Barrier Tag. It can be used to form a barrier, but it requires maintenance."
"Anyway, although the quantity isn't large, it's not bad. I was hoping the Four Symbols Seal or the Five Elements Seal would be here. But it looks like they'll be in Section A. At least I hope they can be found in the Library. It would be terrible if these scrolls weren't in the Library at all."
He swapped for the Battlefield Sealing Jutsu scroll and began to read. This scroll introduced many Sealing Jutsu. After Feng Zheng finished reading, he analyzed.
"Wow! I didn't expect this to be so useful! There are Sealing Jutsu suitable for various battlefield applications!"
Feng Zheng's surprise was not without reason.
The scroll contained soundproofing Sealing Jutsu. There were even Sealing Jutsu that absorbed light, making a place or object difficult to see. In addition, there were Sealing Jutsu to prevent detection by Byakugan, Sharingan, and even Sensor Ninja.
Feng Zheng guessed these were the Sealing Jutsu those Hidden Mist squads used when they were eliminated by them in the Land of Fire.
There were many other useful Sealing Jutsu in the scroll. Feng Zheng was very impressed. He thought.
"No wonder the Whirlpool Hidden Village was destroyed! These Sealing Jutsu are incredibly powerful. If an entire army learned these Sealing Jutsu, they would be a nightmare. Especially in combat."
Finally, he began to read the Miscellaneous Sealing Jutsu scrolls. As he read, Feng Zheng's eyes lit up!
The Sealing Jutsu in the Meditation Room of the central tower in the Forest of Death during the Chunin Exams were in these scrolls! Even the Sealing Jutsu on his training Sealing Jutsu were in these scrolls.
After reading the three scrolls, he concluded.
"These Sealing Jutsu are also good. If the five great Villages could cooperate and focus on these Sealing Jutsu, this world might become even better. These Sealing Jutsu are very beneficial for the rapid development of this world."
"Anyway, the most useful Sealing Jutsu for me is the one used in that Meditation Room. In addition, there are storage Sealing Jutsu that can safely store living beings. These might also be useful."
Feng Zheng finished reading all the scrolls and put them back in their places. He analyzed.
"There's really too much to learn about Sealing Technique. Actually, many things in Section B should be in Section C. But I guess the Village wants to restrict their access, only giving them to Elite Chunin and above."
"I'll need a lot of time to master these. Fortunately, I do have a lot of time. Also, I should check all the scrolls in Section B. It would be great if I could find some good Ninjutsu. More importantly, I want to see if there are any barrier-type Ninjutsu."
"However, these can wait. First, I'll complete my current plan."
He left the Library and returned to the Training Grounds.
He made a Hand Seals gesture, creating a Shadow Clone. The Shadow Clone appeared before him.
Feng Zheng summoned several ordinary swords from a scroll. Both of them took a sword.
They began to fight without any verbal communication. The focus of the fight was Kenjutsu. Neither of them used Chakra flow.
A few hours later, Feng Zheng and his Shadow Clone stood before each other. Both were breathing heavily. The Shadow Clone plunged his sword into the ground and said.
"My Chakra is about to run out."
So he was dispelled. Feng Zheng received all his memories and experiences. Feng Zheng thought.
"This is good. The experience gained from both sides provides a dual perspective."
He sealed the swords back and headed to the barbecue restaurant. He needed a lot of meat to keep up with his planned training activities!
From the next day, Feng Zheng established this routine.
In the morning, he would do physical training. This would be followed by practicing and trying to master the Air Bullet Technique.
When his Chakra was insufficient, he would either go to the Library to read Sealing Jutsu or Meditate. Then he would end his training with Kenjutsu practice.
