In a corner of the Library, a child stared at the scroll he had opened.
However, those observing him did not know that his mind was actually completely preoccupied with other matters.
Feng Zheng thought.
“Alright, let's start with what can be done now.”
With daily Leaf Concentration practice, his Chakra control level was already quite good.
He felt it was time to try some training similar to tree climbing.
Combining physical exercise and Meditation, and constantly pushing his Chakra to its limits, his Chakra reserves were also continuously increasing.
Feng Zheng's Chakra shape manipulation was also progressing smoothly.
As long as his Chakra level improved further, he would be able to try more Ninjutsu.
Currently, Feng Zheng's training plan included Chakra control, Chakra shape manipulation, and increasing Chakra reserves.
These were already good enough, but it would be even better if he could find more ways to increase his Chakra reserves.
The most important thing in Feng Zheng's current arsenal was his Wind Release manipulation training.
He had already completed Leaf Cutting a few months ago.
Although he hadn't yet tried cutting a waterfall, he had made great progress and could now easily cut branches.
These should be more than enough for many Wind Release Ninjutsu.
And since he himself had the Wind Release, that made it even more important.
Next, he could try cutting harder materials, such as stone, and then metal.
In any case, one thing Feng Zheng would definitely do was learn more Wind Release Ninjutsu.
He planned to look through every E-rank and D-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu in the Library.
And learn some useful Ninjutsu in the next year or two.
Ideally, Wind Release Ninjutsu that would allow him to form a good combat system for defense, offense, and evasion.
Besides that, he also needed to learn Ninjutsu of other elements.
He thought.
“Fire, Lightning, Earth, Water... which one should I focus on first?”
After a few minutes of analysis.
He felt that Lightning and Wind were not the best combination, so Lightning Release Ninjutsu would be put aside for now.
Both Fire and Water could combine well with Wind, especially Fire.
But he would need a Shadow Clone to use it effectively.
And this was the Land of Fire, so his future teammates would most likely have this attribute.
Finally, there was Earth; although Wind and Earth didn't go together very well.
He could use Wind Release for offense and Earth Release for defense.
He really hoped this Library had the kind of Ninjutsu Kakuzu used to strengthen his body.
With that defensive Ninjutsu combined with Wind Release attacks, it should be a very effective and troublesome combination.
Finally, Feng Zheng decided to choose Earth as his second attribute.
And strive to master these two attributes in the coming years.
Other elemental attributes could wait until he could successfully create multiple Shadow Clones.
Besides that, he also needed to learn Basic Ninjutsu.
Normal clones weren't much help in combat, but they were the foundation for Shadow Clones and elemental clones.
Transformation Technique had many uses, from disguise to turning into a weapon.
Substitution Technique was the most useful of the three; even Ninja as strong as the Kage would continue to use this Ninjutsu.
So, special attention must be paid to Substitution Technique.
In addition, Feng Zheng felt he must also learn and master Body Flicker Technique.
These two Ninjutsu were crucial for evasion and escape.
Perhaps mastering these two Ninjutsu was more urgent for him than Wind Release Ninjutsu.
Yes, this should be a very good combat system.
Wind Release Ninjutsu for offense, Earth Release Ninjutsu for defense, and Substitution Technique and Body Flicker Technique for evasion and escape.
The next thing to research was Taijutsu.
His daily morning exercises had put his physical fitness among the top of the current students.
Unfortunately, he couldn't dedicate any more training time to morning exercises.
So Feng Zheng thought he must change the way he did morning exercises, increasing the difficulty of the workout in some way.
Perhaps by adding weights or some Sealing Jutsu.
As for Taijutsu, the Taijutsu courses taught at the school should have their own style. He would make further plans after understanding them.
As for Genjutsu, he couldn't practice it yet. He would save it for later.
What remained were Kenjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Sensory Ninjutsu, and Sealing Technique.
Medical Ninjutsu could also wait for later.
Kenjutsu was very important to Feng Zheng.
He needed to learn how to channel his Chakra through weapons and infuse them with Wind Release.
This would make his attacks very lethal.
However, this could also be put off for now, as he didn't need to engage in any combat yet.
Sealing Technique was something he could practice now.
With basic books, Feng Zheng felt he should see if this Ninjutsu was suitable for him.
Sensory Ninjutsu was also very important.
Feng Zheng might need the help of school teachers to understand how to become a good Sensor Ninja.
Although Feng Zheng hadn't tried it yet for safety reasons, he believed that concentrating Chakra in his eyes, nose, or ears should greatly enhance these senses.
However, Feng Zheng was more interested in sensing Chakra.
This ability should be very useful when he left the Village.
He looked at the daily schedule again.
School hours were Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off.
Classes ran from 8 AM to 3 PM.
Physical exercise was scheduled in the morning. He had two and a half hours.
Future Taijutsu-style exercises would also have to be included here.
During school hours, most training was actually impossible to conduct.
But he wanted to see if he could practice elemental transformation in class.
Exercises like Leaf Cutting could easily be hidden under the desk.
Feng Zheng also wanted to check what the preliminary training methods for Earth Release were, to see if they could also be done in class.
However, Feng Zheng hoped Genshu was not a Sensor Ninja, otherwise he would find out and forbid him from doing so.
From 3 PM to 10 PM, this was his free time.
He could take an hour from here for market visits, meals, and other chores.
This left Feng Zheng with six hours for training in Basic Ninjutsu, Wind Release Ninjutsu, weapon throwing, Sealing Technique, Chakra sensing, and Meditation.
However, to do all the above training, there was clearly not enough time, so what should he do?
Feng Zheng once again fell into deep thought.
After some calculations, he came to the conclusion that...
Among all these things, Meditation was something that had to be done every day.
For other things, there were basically two options.
One was to do these things on different days, and the other was to focus on a few of them.
The first option looked tempting, but the problem was...
Learning too many things would distract him and could be detrimental to him.
For example, with him practicing so many things, it would be impossible to learn Eight Gates Formation from Teacher Guy, because that had strict requirements for Taijutsu.
Sealing Technique was also a big problem.
It was a very broad concept, with many theories to focus on, requiring a lot of time to learn.
It would be best to learn it after Feng Zheng could create Shadow Clones.
The downside was that this also meant he couldn't earn money by making and selling Exploding Tags or storage scrolls, but for now, that was the only way.
Between Basic Ninjutsu and Wind Release Ninjutsu, he would temporarily prioritize Basic Ninjutsu.
Once he had mastered all of these, he would start focusing on Wind Release Ninjutsu.
So, in the coming months, the time after school should be spent on mastering those Basic Ninjutsu, Shuriken and kunai throwing, Chakra sensing, and Meditation.
Feng Zheng currently didn't know how to sense Chakra.
He had to go to the Library to look up theories and consult Teacher Genshu.
This would also let him know if he was a Sensor Ninja.
As for weapon throwing, he would wait until classes started to learn it.
This way, Feng Zheng wouldn't pick up any wrong habits and would correct the required form, while throwing weapons faster and more accurately.
As for those Basic Ninjutsu, he could easily find them in this Library.
He only needed to understand the theory behind the Hand Seals and how to perform them correctly.
The school should cover these soon, so hopefully this wouldn't be a long-term problem.
After thinking, he paused and summarized his plan.
Then he said to himself.
“Alright, this plan seems good enough for now. I should acquire the necessary knowledge from the school as soon as possible, and if I have any questions, I can always ask all the teachers. Let's see how strong I can become after a few years of such training.”
He smiled and finally began to read the scroll he was holding.
