After Feng Zheng left, he went straight home. On the way, he thought,
“What an exciting mission. I didn't expect to encounter Kakuzu so early. I’m not ready to face the Akatsuki Organization yet. It’s hard to say when I will be ready. Sigh, this world is truly dangerous. I need to increase my training intensity and find better escape methods. I wonder if Wind Body Flicker Technique is enough.”
Upon arriving home, Feng Zheng collapsed onto his bed. He was mentally exhausted from the encounter and physically drained from hundreds of kilometers of non-stop running. He quickly fell asleep.
He slept until the afternoon. When he woke up, he thought,
“What should I do now?”
He pondered for a moment and said,
“I have a lot to plan, but first, I need to fill my stomach.”
He went out for lunch and didn't return until evening. Before coming back, he went to the Hokage Building and booked Training Grounds #23 for himself for the next few months.
Back home, he grabbed a book and a pen, then sat on his bed. He assumed a Meditation posture and began to analyze.
After a while, he opened his eyes. He summarized,
“Konoha is known for its strict Jonin promotion process. It’s safe to say I won’t become a Jonin for at least three years, possibly even longer. So, for a long time, I won’t have access to any A-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu. And I’ve already learned some good B-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu. So once I master these B-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu, I should start expanding my skill set.”
“The problem is I want to learn too many things. The most important thing now is to master Air Bullet and Vacuum Bullet Technique. I need to be able to cast them without any Hand Seals. I also need to learn how to fire multiple Vacuum Bullet. However, according to Hiruzen, it will take me quite a while to do that. He said it would come naturally after I’ve cast Vacuum Bullet Technique a lot.”
“But he didn’t say how many times I need to practice. I’ll decide after I’ve practiced casting Vacuum Bullet Technique without Hand Seals. Next, I’ll learn those B-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu and also cast them without Hand Seals.”
“The next two important aspects are learning Lightning Release and Sealing Jutsu. I don’t know how easy or difficult Lightning Release element will be, especially since I have to keep it a secret.”
“As for Sealing Jutsu, that should be relatively simple. I can use Shadow Clone to learn Sealing Jutsu. But I can't train in Sealing Jutsu and Ninjutsu simultaneously. The best time to learn Sealing Jutsu is when I’m learning Lightning Release. However, when I start learning Lightning Release Ninjutsu, I’ll have to stop learning Sealing Jutsu. Hmm, I’ll decide then.”
“After Lightning Release and Sealing Jutsu, I also need to try out those ideas related to Wind Release Ninjutsu. But I’m worried that if I can’t perfectly control Wind Chakra, some of these applications might hurt myself. So before that, I need to learn Mystical Palm Technique. My Chakra control is very good, so learning Mystical Palm Technique shouldn’t be a problem.”
“The skills I’m currently most satisfied with are Senju Taijutsu and Samurai Swordsmanship. My Taijutsu and Swordsmanship are both excellent, especially when combined with long-range Wind Release Ninjutsu. I previously wanted to elevate my Senju Taijutsu to Tsunade’s level. However, that’s not easy. I tried it while training with Renjiro, but there were no signs of success.”
“Also, before learning more Ninjutsu, I must first organize my current Ninjutsu. I’ve already learned a lot of Ninjutsu, but some of them haven't been used much. First, I need to decide which Ninjutsu to continue using, and then I must perfect them.”
“Now, only Genjutsu remains... I don't pay much attention to Genjutsu; my focus is entirely on Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Swordsmanship. I should learn the Genjutsu Tobirama created to deal with the Uchiha Clan. But for the rest of Genjutsu, it’s best not to try. After all, no matter how skilled I am, it’s impossible to rival the Sharingan in Genjutsu. It’s better to focus on countering Genjutsu.”
“I also want to learn Cursed Seal Technique, but that should be after Sealing Jutsu. I’ll save that for later too.”
“These are all my thoughts for now. The only idea left is...”
Feng Zheng extended his right forearm forward and clenched his palm.
Chakra appeared on his palm, spinning at high speed, and began to take on a spherical shape. It was unstable at first but quickly maintained a normal spherical form.
Feng Zheng thought,
“I haven't practiced Rasengan in over a year. I couldn't even form it before graduation. Now, I need to master this Ninjutsu properly. Since graduation, my Chakra reserves and control have improved many times over, so practicing Rasengan now shouldn’t be too strenuous. I need to practice until I can use it in combat.”
He returned to his bed and began to list all the techniques he had currently learned!
Transformation Technique.
Clone Technique
Substitution Technique
Body Flicker Technique
Shadow Clone Technique
Rasengan
Shadow Clone Great Explosion Technique

Genjutsu:
Dual Vision Technique
Hell Vision Technique
When Feng Zheng saw this list, he had only one thought.
“When did I learn thirty-seven Ninjutsu???”
He sighed, lamenting,
“No wonder I felt the need to organize my Ninjutsu! Ugh, this is so much work!”
He began to analyze all of his Ninjutsu and their uses. As if a century had passed, Feng Zheng finally finished!
He concluded,
“Of the thirty-seven Ninjutsu, only three are completely useless to me! Clone Technique, Wind Torpedo Technique, and Earth Prison Technique. Compared to Clone Technique, Wind Clone is a better choice. Vacuum Bullet Technique is also much more effective than Wind Torpedo Technique. As for Earth Prison Technique, I cast it too slowly, making it useless.”
“There are also some redundancies. Breakthrough Technique, Great Breakthrough Technique, and Infinite Breakthrough Technique are just advanced forms of each other. In reality, Infinite Breakthrough Technique covers all aspects of these two Ninjutsu. So, once I master Infinite Breakthrough Technique, I can increase its power by overcharging it, or reduce its power to the level of Great Breakthrough Technique or even Breakthrough Technique by controlling my Chakra.”
“The same goes for Rock Shield Technique, Earth Flow Wall Technique, Earth Army Movement Technique, and Earth Body Flicker Technique.”
“Then, there are some very basic Ninjutsu: Gale Technique, Wind Stealing Technique, Projectile Control Technique, Wind Levitation Technique, Wind Push Technique, and Dust Cloud Technique. While these Ninjutsu seem good, they don’t work well in fast-paced combat. However, I’ve already mastered them, and I have a good idea for them. So, I’ll set them aside for now.”
