2 Preparing for worse
It's been 4 days since Ryuma started his training and using shadow clones was truly effective for him. He completed the tree walking exercise in just 2 days and right now he was practicing walking up on the waterfall which was the hardest part of water walking. Meanwhile, his shadow clone was practicing stage 1 of Rasengan with a water balloon.
As Ryuma walked towards the academy training ground Yuno caught up with him and started walking side by side.
" How were your tasks proceeding Ryuma? Did you complete tree walking?" Yuno asked curiously.
.
"Yeah, I completed it 2 days ago and now I am focusing on water walking. How's it going for you ?"
.
" *Sigh* I think you had good chakra control Ryuma. I just completed tomorrow but dude it was really tough " Yuno spoke with anguish in his voice.
.
"Nah, I think it's average and it's just you who sucks at chakra control. After all, you're weird. You mainly focus on taijutsu but you also focus on strategy and bookish things" Ryuma said.
.
"Well take it as a compliment. Yeah, I like both taijutsu and knowledge so what can I do about it? But you know what you suck at taijutsu. You should improve it, after all, only 3 years left before we become genin" Yuno replied.
.
" Yeah I know that's why I decided to pick a sword as a weapon. Also I am thinking of improving my taijutsu skills and starting some weight training too".
.
" Ohh, you are thinking of starting weight training, that's very good. It's been a year since I started my weight training".
.
Ryuma looked shocked. He checked Yuno from top to bottom. He was a brown hair brown eyes guy with a little longer height than him. His clothes were very simple shorts and a t-shirt with his hands and legs and hands covered with bandages wrapped around them.
After checking thoroughly Ryuma said, "But you're not carrying any weight now ?"
.
Yuno laughed a little at Ryuma's words and then replied, "Do you live in caves? Didn't I tell you my mother is a special jounin and her specialization is in Fuinjutsu. Here look inside my bandages this cloth has a gravity seal on it".
.
Ryuma didn't know about Yuno's mom or he had forgotten because earlier it was not important news for him but now this is very important. After all, Fuinjutsu is one of the strongest things in the Naruto verse.
After thinking something in mind Ryuma spoke, " Yuno can you ask your mom to teach me Fuinjutsu also please ask her for a gravity seal containing the weight for me ".
.
" Yeah that's right you should learn Fuinjutsu. Ryuma my friend, I think you should become a Fuinjutsu specialist. Don't worry I will tell Mom about it and we will not. You will soon start learning it from my mother" Yuno replied instantly with a joyful smile.
Unknown to Ryuma Yuno was preparing him for a sacrificial pawn to his mother so that he can escape the Fuinjutsu learning training that his mother started giving him.
******
It's been a week since Ryuma completed his task and showed it to his father. At first glance, he didn't believe his son completed the tasks he gave him in just a week. The fact that he still has 3 years to graduate means that he has great potential. Collecting his thoughts and starting dreaming of his son becoming a jounin, Ryujin immediately started teaching him the body flicker technique and gave him the scroll to change his chakra to lightning.
On the other hand, comparing his speed of completing tree walking exercises with Naruto and Sasuke with using shadow clones made Ryuma a little sad with his talent but he decided not to take it to heart. After all, if he practices hard enough like Rock Lee he knows he will surely surpass both of those god's reincarnated children.
Even though it's been a week since he started learning both Fuinjutsu and body flicker technique he still only got the basics of both. The source surely didn't do justice by showing how hard both of these are.
The body flicker technique was very hard. Because when you launch yourself by collecting and releasing chakra with a burst through your legs it gives you tunnel vision with only a straight line movement. Now by experiencing it by himself Ryuma finally understood how great Shisui would be at his body flicker technique to get the name 'Shisui the teleporter' or 'Shisui of the body flicker'.
And similarly, the fuinjutsu was similar to coding in his past life. Even though right now he was a novice and just learning kanji and calligraphy which are basically the alphabets of fuinjutsu, Ryuma started questioning his decision. He knew his supposedly best friend had long betrayed him by exchanging his classes with him.

( 7 months later )
"Here Ryuma-kun takes these. I heard from Yuno that you wanted them but because I was busy with some work at the Hokage office I wasn't able to make them earlier. So this is your reward for completing the basics of fuinjutsu.
I am very happy that you stayed persistent throughout the basics and it just shows that you had a thing for fuinjutsu. I hope that you shall achieve the highest level in fuinjutsu. Best of luck for your future endeavors in this field "
Yuno's mother gave Ryuma weights with gravity seals on them and told him about the completion of his basics in fuinjutsu which made Ryuma very happy. Just by learning basics Ryuma now can make explosive tags and use storage seals and it greatly baffled him. If these things were at a basic level then by thinking about the highest level Ryuma's imagination started running wild.
"Thanks, Aunty for your teaching. So when should I start intermediate-level fuinjutsu training?"
.
" Ahh, actually we aren't allowed to teach academy students more than the basic level of fuinjutsu. Once you become a genin then you can ask your teacher or come to me to learn." Yuno's mother replied.
.
" *Sigh* so I have to wait 2 years and 3 months to start at the next level. If I should have known earlier then I would have taken it easier". Ryuma replied with tiredness in his voice.
.
"Don't be so down, Ryuma-kun, if you got extra time you should practice other things. After all, it's better to be strong and I think you should learn the basics of medical ninjutsu too. You have good chakra control". Yuno's mother gave her suggestions.
.
"Okay, Aunty. Now I think I should take my leave."After having a talk with Yuno on how to use gravity seals, Ryuma took his leave from Yuno's house.
——————
Walking on the street at night with the full moon shining brightly on the sky, Ryuma started walking towards his house which was situated on the far end of Uchiha clan compounds. Even though it was not a big house, it was comfortable for both Ryuma and Ryujin.
While traveling many thoughts came to Ryuma's mind for his future planning. One such thought was about medical ninjutsu. In the past months after completing both body flicker and lightning nature training which took 1 month and 4 months respectively Ryuma already took a look at the basics of medical ninjutsu in the Konoha public library and academy's library.
After reading them completely he found out that on the basic level, they only taught students about human body structure and how to give small wound treatment with the help of bandages, etc which he already knew very well due to his past life memories as a doctor. Thus he decided to not start medical ninjutsu now and wait for graduation.
On the other hand, he started focusing on his taijutsu. Though he improved a little, he was nowhere near the level of Rock Lee from the chunin exam, Heck he was still not at the level of Yuno.
Alongside all this work going on Ryuma still didn't take a leave from his purple lightning recreation thing. After completing Rasengan which took Ryuma 6 months to master Ryuma started to add lightning chakra into it and then collapsed Rasengan on his hand while maintaining the flow of chakra around his hand in a spin.
Even though it sounded easier, it was very hard. It took a whole month of gruesome training to achieve two opposite spins of chakra in layers on the hand.
Right now Ryuma already created chidori which was far stronger than the original one. He used shape manipulation on it to make many different shapes which were also very hard. The only two shapes he was able to make were 'Chidori spear' and 'Chidori discharge'. Finding out that adding more shape manipulation to the jutsu will require more mastery over that particular Jutsu, Ryuma decided to work on upgrading chidori into purple lightning.
With Chidori comes its downsides, ' tunnel vision' because of the bright lightning Chidori blinded the user, and due to the moment created by the running makes it a straight line thrust. The only way to remove weakness was by using sharingan which was a big no for me.
Thus, he started tempering the wavelength of Chidori alongside its electric output. Now for quite a long time, he was stuck on this problem.
As Ryuma got closer to the Uchiha clan compounds he felt a nerve-wracking silence. The closer he got to the main gate the darker the surrounding was, as if darkness was trying to engulf him.
His sixth sense shouted a bad premonition but he wasn't able to leave after all his father was at home and he couldn't abandon him.
The closer he got to the clan compound the more afraid he became. The whole atmosphere was unusual if it was his previous self he surely wouldn't have sensed it but now it was different.
A long distance away from the clan compounds people become less on the road, near the main gates there were no people, and on top of that it was only 8 at night. Clearly, It was a bit unusual to have this much silence this early. As if someone had already planned this and deliberately kept people outside from getting near the clan area.
As he entered the main gate his whole body got frozen. The first sight Ryuma saw was of the 2 Uchiha police force members who were cut down from the middle and their eyeballs were gone.
Just by the scene in front Ryuma started getting nausea. He swallowed what was coming up and tried to maintain his calmness. Even though it was not his first time seeing such a gruesome scene, but it was his first time in this life.
His mind was working at its maximum capacity. He knew what was going on and he knew he messed up a big time knowing this mistake can cost his life today. The thing in front of him was none other than the 'Uchiha Massacre'.
