NOVEL NEXT Chapter 36: chapter 36
Make sure to follow this training plan lee-san, although it would be hard at first since your body isn't strong, with time you will be able to adapt"
Yumiko said after handing him his training plan that she had written in a paper
It wasn't that complicated since it only consisted of exercises with some advice
He took the paper while narrowing his eyes at it, Yumiko had explained everything to him and even bothered to write it down to make sure he remembered.
Lee looked back at Yumiko, nodding at her with determination
"I am sure it will benefit you a lot. With hard work you'll be a strong ninja in no time" Yumiko said before giving him a thumb up, smiling at him in encouragement
Lee averted his gaze away, hesitation was clear on his face. He was glad for her efforts to help him but still, he needed something else other than a training plan
"about that... I forgot to tell you... I can't perform any ninjutsu or genjutsu" his head dropped low, shoulders trembling
Not a moment later, tears started escaping his eyes, hitting the ground in the process.
Yumiko was startled at his sudden outburst, she didn't think he would tell her his life problems so quickly!
She hurriedly put her hands on his shoulder before saying firmly, "Lee-san, don't be discouraged; I am sure with your hard work on Taijutsu, you'll be able to be strong enough!"
Lee inhaled then exhaled, trying to compose himself
His head suddenly snapped up, looking at Yumiko with determination
"I'll try my best to prove that I can be a splendid ninja with only taijutsu!
Yumiko-chan, next time we meet you'll see me as a new person! Someone worthy of you and strong like you!"
Turning around he started running without looking back, Yumiko's face was engraved in his memory
'I didn't think she would be so kind to nobody like me... whatever the case is, I shouldn't disappoint her; she believed in me when no one did, so I shall aim to be stronger!' he thought firmly.
Unfortunately, Rock Lee didn't know the real reason behind Yumiko's kindness and will never know.
If he was just a normal academy student she would've brushed him off since she has more interesting things to do other than play the sensei role.
After all, that's the purpose of the academy
And so, Yumiko only did that based on her knowledge of his bright future
Speaking about Yumiko, she was standing there bewildered
A weird sound escaped her mouth as she thought 'Did he just say worthy of me? Did I just replace Sakura?... how troublesome'
Yumiko sighed, but the smile didn't leave her face as she thought 'With this, I'll be able to see the impact of my existence, if nothing changed that would only mean the fate crap is real''
She took her copybook on the ground alongside her pencil before flickering away.
Again, Yumiko went to a random restaurant, ordering something to eat since it was past midday
She didn't care about the stomachache she would get later upon eating junk food, that's if she got it in the first place.
Being an Uzumaki sure is helpful
✦•┈๑⋅⋯ ⋯⋅๑┈•✦
After eating lunch and doing some errands, Yumiko got back home putting her convenience food in their respective places
After that, she took out her copybook and wrote the fuinjutsu symbols and kanji she learned today while sitting on her table
She was aiming to learn how to do a paper bomb, but unfortunately, she doesn't have the required tools to start with
Yumiko sighed tiredly while thinking
'it seems like fuinjutsu isn't about writing on papers only... I should go out again and buy some ink and fuinjutsu papers'
Unfortunately, Yumiko did not know fuinjutsu till today as she only focused on offensive ninjutsu and taijutsu and also iryo-no-jutsu for support although she didn't need it much
'Oh well, no more lazing around for me
My training plan will start from now on and I will especially focus on Fuinjutsu and use shadow clones to fasten my learning process...'
While thinking casually, a thought suddenly came to Yumiko's mind
'I have been thinking about it since I started my Gunbai training, the technique Madara used against Naruto in the fourth ninja war with his Gunbai' A glint appeared in Yumiko's eyes while thinking, 'The Uchiha reflection, a technique that absorbs chakra from any jutsu and reflects it...
If I learn that technique my power will grow considerably
However, it would be hard to learn it. I only know how to absorb my chakra to heal myself, but I've never absorbed a foreign chakra...'
She tapped her fingers on the table, deep in thought when suddenly her eyes widen
'I can use Fuinjutsu! Well I remember Jiraya using fuinjutsu to contain Itachi Amaterasu, so if I put some seals on my Gunbai hopefully it would work'
Yumiko glanced at her notebook before raising her pen and writing her thoughts
'Madara also planted seals on Obito so he can not betray him and ensure his loyalty
So There is a big chance of him using fuinjutsu on his Gunbai too
If not, I'll do it as my first step to learning this technique since I know nothing about it'
'This isn't the only thing I should learn tho
I also need to learn the Senju fist style and infuse it with wind
But for now, I'll focus on creating a paper bomb and other small things like sealing scrolls, then start with the more complicated ones like barriers or maybe creating my own seals in the future If I can
Hopefully my Uzumaki lineage would help me one way or another'
she sealed her copybook on a small scroll after finishing then hid it in her ninja pouch
Yumiko decided to buy the necessary items for fuinjutsu now as she started somehow feeling the urgency
She left her apartment heading towards a weaponry shop
While doing so, she thought seriously
'I am nine years old, the plot will begin after three or two years from now if my memory serves me right
Starting with the Waves mission and Suna invasion arc
Till then I need to improve myself more and maybe cause some changes.
Although I still don't know if my existence would change anything or not... without forgetting the fate bullshit, but most likely it would.
Yumiko spotted a weapon shop while walking and headed toward it
She bought the necessary items for fuinjutsu and went back to her apartment.
After arriving at her apartment, she put all the items on her table, arranging them then with a single hand sign Yumiko created five shadow clones, not caring about the headache she would get later upon using them
'I could always heal myself' she smirked
'Now then, let's start my training arc'
Each one of her clones took a piece of paper and started writing different symbols
One of the five clones had chakra more than the others
That one had a special task to do
It was tasked to go to a training ground and create other shadow clones to try doing the papers bomb since it's dangerous to experiment with them inside her apartment
While the others were tasked to do simple sealing scrolls
Yumiko sat on her bed before starting to mediate
Three hours later, memories from her special shadow clone rushed to her mind
Her eyes opened while a big smile separated on her face
'Considering my small knowledge about fuinjutsu, having me learning how to do a paper bomb and sealing scrolls this fast is sure fascinating
Even though I don't know how much time it usually takes to learn it in the first place...
That's a good improvement nevertheless'
Yumiko glanced at the shadow clones ahead of her
They finished their tasks one hour ago and they are now creating as many sealing scrolls as they can
Yumiko first thought that a sealing scroll would take much more time than a paper bomb to create, but much to her surprise, it was the complete opposite!
It took her clones two hours to create a simple sealing scroll and three hours to create a paper bomb.
She said thoughtfully ''Well most of my experiments on paper bombs were a failure, my shadow clone had to write every kanji and symbol correctly or else the paper would either emit black smoke or won't explode"
It was late afternoon when Yumiko stopped her meditation and dispelled her clones
This time, she felt a small headache come to her because, unlike last time, she didn't ask her clones to save much information, just the way to create a paper bomb and a sealing scroll.
Putting her hand on her forehead, a green glow erupts from her hand killing the small headache
Yumiko glanced at her watch on the nightstand while thinking 'time fly quickly while meditating...'
She then glanced at the window beside her bed
The sun was about to set in two hours or three and it was too soon to have her dinner, so she decided to fill her time by creating as many as she can of paper bomb since she only tasked her clones to do sealing scrolls
She got up from her bed and headed towards the table in her living room
Many scrolls were seen on her table, forming a pile. Fortunately, they were all arranged neatly.
She pushed them to the side carefully while taking a blank paper and ink alongside her brush pen writing the required symbols and kanji to do a paper bomb.
She spent the next hours creating paper bomb until she ran out of paper, she sealed all the paper bombs in one scroll as she thought 'That would be useful in case of an emergency... fifty-four paper bomb, not bad'
She wasn't concerned about the fuinjutsu papers running out since they are cheap, thus not many ninja buys them for the lack of Fuinjutsu knowledge.
What Yumiko didn't know is the Value of people who know Fuinjutsu
As there aren't many Fuinjutsu Grandmasters, while there are a few fuinjutsu masters in each major villages that can be counted with fingers
Hence, the major villages are very careful with their safety and rarely send them to do missions.
Yawning, Yumiko decided to finally have dinner
She went to her kitchen and prepared an instant ramen then went to sleep directly after the meal
