my final year in the academy

I had come first at the end of my fifth year and this further increased sasuke's hatred of me and that was without even knowing what I was really capable of as I only demonstrated enough to get me the top spot and nothing more. Hinata and Ino had reached level nine of their resistance seals and had completed the first manipulation exercise of water and fire which were their elemental affinities respectively. Ino had learnt the mind body switch jutsu, the fireball jutsu and the great fireball jutsuand Hinata had advanced to the gentle fist thirty two strikes and had also learnt vacuum palm and I had also taught her the water clone jutsu and the water bullet jutsu and both their chakra reserves had reched the chunin level while mine had reached kage level and I had finally managed to master the final chakra control exercise mentioned in Tsunade's texts and achieved perfect chakra control but I still had to practise chakra control everyday to maintain that level of chakra control as my reserves were still growing and according to my estimation would stop at about my sixteenth birthday and would be equal to Hashirama Senju in his prime. I had also taught both hinata and Ino the shunshin. I had also taught them how to enhance their speed and strength with chakra .

I had reached level thirty of my resistance seals and without the seals my speed was equal to Gai without opening the gates and with the seals I was equal to a special jounin in speed. I had mastered the basics of tsunade's super strength technique but it would take me another three years to master it to her level as I my body would have matured completely by then. I had created a seal and placed a seal on my body which siphoned off all the Kyuubi's chakra leaking from the seal and purified it and used it to heal me and this increased my healing factor drastically and I could heal from any injury except critical blows and dismemberment within seconds or minutes depending on the severity of the injury but constant use of the seal fatigued the body greatly. And to protect myself from Genjutsu masters like Itachi after completing level 7 and learning how to use seals based on emotional triggers I placed a seal of my creation between my shoulder blades which constantly sent small pulses of chakra throughout my system so that I could never be caught in a Genjutsu and I also started practising fighting with my eyes closed as Mangekyo sharingan users like Itachi could still trap me in Tsukuyomi and Kotomatsukami. I basically created a field of wind around me and used my wind chakra manipulation and minds eye of kagura technique to sense my opponent's movements. I practised this in a secluded field in the forest of death where I would blindfold my eyes and practise in dodging the projectiles thrown at full speed by my clones and also practised Taijutsu and kenjutsu with my eyes closed with my eyes closed with my new training partner anko who had found me practising in the forest of death and started tossing kunai at me when I was blindfolded and as I dodged them all easily she decided to spar with me and I thrashed her after releasing all my resistance seals and since then she sparred with me whenever I was practising in the forest of death and she was free and she became a friend of mine as she knew that I didn't judge her for being Orochimaru's apprentice like most of the village did and I promised myself to research ways to get rid of the cursed seal on her shoulder. During sparring with her I realized that despite my vast power I was relatively inexperienced in true combat that was life and death and also that I had never killed anyone and I didn't want to freeze on a mission after killing someone so after learning how to make the seals to create a blood clone which were present in volume 8 of the Fuinjutsu series I regularly switched out with my blood clone to hunt bandits and low ranking rogue nins near konoha to get some first hand experience and also some cash.

I had mastered the first two exercise for earth chakra manipulation and learned the earth style : earth dragon bullets jutsu, the earth dragon jutsu, stone spikes jutsu. Hiruzen taught me the earth style: headhunter jutsu, earth wall jutsu and the earth armor jutsu and the stone fist jutsu. The earth armor jutsu decreased my mobility and at first but slowly I got used to it and could eventually move at my top speed with the earth armor activated and though it reduced my mobility it was very useful in fighting pure Taijutsu users like Hyuugas. Hiruzen taught me the basics of how to do combination jutsu. It would take me another year to complete the third stage elemental manipulation of fire and earth which were melting a big rock by breathing fire onto it continuously and increaing and decreasing the weight of boulders as I was busy with other things and my clones were also busy making seals to sell to the ninja of konoha under an assumed name of Arashi kazama after Hiruzen had observed my seals and saw them to be of far greater quality than what they currently had and suggested the above course of action and so far I had earned a lot of money by selling my higher quality of storage and explosive tags with various degree of explosive power and also prisoner transport seals, paralysis seals , chakra restraining seals. I also sold a personal creation of mine which made after being inspired by concussion grenades which I only sold to anbu.
