Renjiro was hiding nearby and watching his young students. Looking at the determined looks of Hoka and Mieko, he smiled thinking 'Excellent! With this determination, their power will increase very rapidly. Sadly, Fujin isn't looking that determined.' He thought a bit and concluded, 'Well just because there's no determined look on him doesn't mean that he's discouraged. Though he did speak about future challenges, it didn't seem like he wanted to back away. Anyways, I should get a better idea after a few more sessions. If he isn't determined, then I have a few ways to make him determined!' If Fujin knew his sensei's plans for him, he would have shuddered.

When just 5 minutes of break was left, Fujin and Hoka got up and began stretching. Mieko copied them. They weren't sure which crazy session awaited them, and decided to loosen up their muscles. Renjiro soon appeared in front of them and said, "Before we begin with the next session, let's talk about your routines first."

Renjiro then discussed everyone's routine one by one. He planned to train them from 5 am to 9 am and from 10 am to noon. For Fujin, there'd be additional 3 hours of training from 2 pm to 5 pm. He modified everyone's routines to fit his own training plans. He also recommended everyone their diets. And that involved a lot of ration bars! Renjiro recommended them to eat one at 4:15 am, 2 at 9:30 am and another one or two during lunch. He explained that ration bars were created for ninjas who'd be on very long missions away from Konoha. So they have absolutely everything necessary that a ninja must consume. Apart from that, food items rich in proteins were recommended by him.

Fujin groaned a bit at his schedule. He thought, 'No freaking way! Since when did Jounin sensei begin spending so much time to train their genins? Heck, apart from Kakashi teaching Sasuke Chidori, and Guy teaching Lee, I don't think any of the remaining 10 were taught anything significant at all by their sensei! With him practically taking my whole day, I won't have any time to keep practicing Fuinjutsu or learn any new Ninjutsu! I am not sure if the trade off is worth it.'

He thought a bit more and sighed, 'I don't really have a say here, I really hope that the trade off is worth it.'

Renjiro began the next training session. Considering how tired his students were, Renjiro decided to let them have it easy. The session focused on teamwork and team formations. Nothing fancy, just the application of what they were taught in the academy.

At noon, Renjiro stopped the training and gathered everyone. He then said, "Fujin, for today, we'll skip your sword practice. I have another assignment for you. All 3 of you will visit the library and decide what you guys want to learn over the next year. We will discuss it tomorrow. And don't forget, we'll have daily training sessions here at 5 am."

Fujin, Hoka and Mieko nodded and thanked him. Hoka and Mieko left for their home, whereas Fujin went over to Yakiniku Q for lunch. Fujin did train hard over the past 5 years. However, nothing came close to what he went through today. Despite the pain, he was actually looking forward to how much stronger this training would make him.

After lunch, he went over to the library. He entered the section C of the library and began searching for Wind release jutsus. He also wanted to look at rank C Earth release jutsus, but he thought, 'That old freak can sneak up without me even sensing. And given that he has given us this task, I wouldn't be surprised if he is keeping an eye here. I'll just check the rest sometime later.'

What surprised him was that the number of rank C Wind Release jutsus exceeded the number of rank D and Rank E Wind Release jutsus. On going through all of them, he made a list.

The list of rank C Wind Release jutsus was :

Gale Palm Jutsu

Great Breakthrough Jutsu

Spinning Shield of Wind Jutsu

Wind Gale Wolf Jutsu

Wind Dragon Jutsu

Wind Cutter Jutsu

Faithful Wind Blade Jutsu

Wind Instantaneous Body Jutsu

Air Current Wild Dance Jutsu

He had already learnt Great Breakthrough jutsu. So he read the scrolls of the remaining jutsus to get a better understanding of them.

After reading, he concluded 'So Gale Palm jutsu is basically just a more advanced form of Gale Surge jutsu. It does provide 360° coverage, but its power is still lacking. Not to mention, Spinning Shield of Wind jutsu is a much better defensive jutsu. Not only does it defend, but it also reflects back all attacks made on it.

Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu is similar to Body Flicker jutsu. The body moves along with a Gale of wind. It's an escape jutsu. And the user can move over a kilometre.

Wind Cutter jutsu and Faithful Wind Blade jutsu are offense oriented jutsus. Wind Cutter basically just uses wind to cut through the enemies. And Faithful Wind Blade needs a sword or kunai or any blade as a base. Using that, it creates a 10 feet long blade of wind. Since it is made of wind, it is almost weightless, and is very sharp and difficult to block. I guess the jutsu that Baki used was a more advanced form of this jutsu.

Air Current Wild Dance jutsu is a battlefield control jutsu and can be used to restrict enemies. Wind Gale Wolf jutsu and Wind Dragon jutsu sound incredibly fun. A wind sphere has to be made, and then the caster has to make a wolf or a dragon from that sphere. But both jutsus take different routes ahead. In Wind Gale Wolf jutsu, I can make more wolves as I get stronger. Whereas, in Wind Dragon jutsu, the dragon can shoot out Wind Explosion jutsu!'

He began analyzing, 'Once again, these jutsus are very interesting. Most of these jutsus aren't restricted by their ranks, and can perform even as good as an rank S jutsu if the caster is strong enough and has mastered these jutsus to their limits. In fact, Spinning Shield of Wind jutsu, Wind Gale Wolf jutsu and Wind Dragon jutsu are classified as rank C-S, depending on how strong their user is. At rank C, Spinning Shield of Wind can only deflect weapons back. But as it is made stronger, it can reflect low level Ninjutsu back, and at its peak, it is said to be able to reflect even rank A jutsus back. For Wind Gale Wolf jutsu, it's about the number of Wolves that can be formed. At rank C, only one can be formed. But at rank S, the caster can make hundreds of these wolves. Something that'll be incredibly useful against an army. For Wind Dragon jutsu, it's about the size of the dragon and the number of Wind Explosion jutsus it can spit out. According to the scroll, someone with large amounts of chakra and excellent chakra control could make a Dragon that is over a kilometre long and can shoot out hundreds of Wind Explosion jutsus.

Even though the other jutsus aren't stated to be able to reach such a level, I can imagine them to be much stronger. For instance, for Faithful Wind Blade jutsu, the size of the wind blade could be extended even further. Or it could be made much sharper. Similarly, Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu could probably be used to move tens of kilometres away.'

He then calmed himself and thought, 'The only issue is, why haven't I heard about anyone using these jutsus? Even if these jutsus have that potential, if no one can reach it, then there must be some issue.' He analyzed for a few minutes and concluded, 'I guess using my memories about Naruto is very unreliable. Also, it is very likely that wind affinity ninjas in Konoha do practice these jutsus, just that I'm not aware of them. Not surprising. But I do wanna know if there was even one character in the past who used these jutsus to their full potential!'

He noticed, 'I lost my focus. Let me first decide which jutsus to learn.'

After analysing, he decided, 'I will learn Spinning Shield of Wind jutsu, Wind Gale Wolf jutsu, Wind Dragon jutsu, Faithful Wind Blade jutsu and Wind Instantaneous Body jutsu. I don't need the battlefield control that Air Current Wild Dance jutsu provides currently. And for defense, escaping into the ground and Spinning Shield of Wind jutsu are better options than Gale Palm jutsu. Wind Cutter jutsu could have been useful, but I have another idea.'

While analyzing the jutsus, Fujin noticed 2 peculiarities. His thoughts were, 'Wouldn't Faithful Wind Blade jutsu be a better option than chakra flow? It makes me wonder if instead of sending a slash of chakra, I could use this to send a slash of wind in Samurai Saber Techniques. Also, can this be used in conjunction with chakra flow?

The others are Wind Dragon jutsu and Wind Gale Wolf jutsu. The starting point of both of these jutsus is the same. So can I create wolves that shoot out Wind Explosion jutsu or can I create multiple dragons?'

These ideas intrigued him a lot. He decided to experiment with them when he was strong enough to do so. After deciding the jutsus to learn, Fujin thought, 'Alright, decision made. Now I'll dig up this entire library to see if anyone ever used these jutsus to their limits or not!'

He got up to keep the scrolls back. On getting up he noticed, 'Eh, Mieko's here? I didn't even notice.' He then tried to sense and noticed, 'Oh, Hoka is here too. And he is in section D.'
