It had been two long days since Hizashi and Jiryoku met, but there had been no contact between them since then. Jiryoku continued with his rigorous training schedule, dedicating himself to improving his skills and becoming stronger. However, as he walked towards the Ichiraku Ramen shop that evening like always, he couldn't help but overhear people discussing Hizashi's sacrifice for the village. The exact reasons behind his sacrifice were still a mystery to the people, but they were all aware that he had given up his life for the sake of the village.
Jiryoku was not surprised by this news; after all, it was unlikely that anyone from the higher echelons of Konoha would reveal the true reason behind Hizashi's sacrifice. Doing so could tarnish the reputation of Hokage and other elders, so it was better to keep it under wraps. The Hyuga clan, too, had kept their lips sealed about the matter.
After finishing his bowl of delicious ramen at the Ichiraku Ramen shop, Jiryoku made his way back to his house. As he walked through the bustling streets of Konoha, his thoughts drifted back to Hizashi and his sacrifice. But then he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
.....
Jiryoku was currently sitting in his room, lost in thought as he reminisced about his past. As a transmigrator, he had lived a whole life before being born again in this world of Ninja, which meant that he had an advantage over others. He had been smart from the very beginning, and to avoid any suspicion, he used to talk less and observe more. One unique ability that came with him to this world was his photographic memory. Whatever he saw, heard, or listened to, he would remember it for a long time, even without revising it.
One day, when Jiryoku was just 9 months old, his father came to him and taught him the training method of wind style Chakra mode. This wasn't the first time his father had done something like this, as he used to teach Jiryoku all sorts of ninjutsu to entertain him. Jiryoku's father didn't know how to take care of a child, so he would explain all the ninjutsu with proper signs, hoping that it would keep Jiryoku amused.
Little did his father know that Jiryoku was a quick learner and had already memorized all the ninjutsu that his father had taught him. From that day forward, Jiryoku continued to learn all sorts of ninjutsu, and his photographic memory helped him to retain all the knowledge he gained along the way.
Jiryoku isn't content to simply follow his father's path. Instead, he aims to create a brand-new type of Chakra mode known as the Storm Chakra mode. When he tested his Chakra nature, he discovered that he had two types of Chakra: thunder and wind. By skillfully combining these two elements, he believes he can develop the Storm Chakra mode. With his sharp intellect and exceptional memory, Jiryoku is confident that he can successfully achieve his ambitious goal.
With this thought in mind, Jiryoku continued his life as before, training during the day to increase template progress and going to the Ichiraku Ramen shop in the evening. After refining his Chakra at night, he slept.
Time flew by like a horse, and two years passed in this manner.
Jiryoku, now six years old, was practicing with his sword in the open space outside his house.
At that moment, a ninja wearing a Chunin vest approached. He observed Jiryoku, whose height was no less than that of an eight-year-old. The ninja had come to meet Jiryoku because it was a rule of the Ninja Academy that every orphan with Chakra refining talent should join. He asked Jiryoku if he would like to join the Ninja Academy as a special case.
This Chunin teacher was aware of Jiryoku's condition and as a result, he shook his head, believing that a blind person would be unable to achieve anything significant in their life. He anticipated that Jiryoku would reject the offer to join the Ninja academy, fully expecting to hear a refusal when Jiryoku arrived.
As the Ninja was preparing to speak, he abruptly halted his train of thought and decided to test Jiryoku's abilities. He sought out some stones nearby, picked them up, and flung them towards Jiryoku, mimicking the motion of throwing shuriken. However, Jiryoku had already vanished from his original position before the stones could even make contact with him. The Chunin teacher was taken aback by Jiryoku's swift and agile movements.
The Chunin teacher was just about to begin searching for Jiryoku when he suddenly felt a sharp object pressing against his neck. Jiryoku had emerged out of nowhere and was now standing behind the stunned Chunin teacher, holding his sword against Chunins neck. The Chunin teacher was astonished at Jiryoku's speed and prowess, realizing that his initial assumptions about Jiryoku's abilities were entirely unfounded.
Jiryoku's voice remained flat and emotionless as he spoke his words of warning to the Chunin, "If you had harbored any hostile intentions towards me, I would have swiftly separated your head from your body." He then calmly withdrew his sword from the startled Chunin's neck and proceeded to ask, "Now, tell me, what is your purpose for coming here?"
