Plans for powering up

Since the second great ninja war has ended, the peace that everyone wanted has come back. Although I could hear some people still mourning for deaths, it literally was time to move on.

Due to my good performances in the last battle of the second great ninja war, I got more well-known. Also, lots of shinobi recognized me as a proper Jounin despite my age.

After the second great ninja war ended, I didn't do anything for one month. I thought to myself, I needed to give myself reward and rest for surviving that hectic war.

During the war, I had to battle against enemies literally 8 hours a day. I almost died while fighting during the Uzushiogakure invasion, had to deal with patriotic but also an idiot and delusional Kento(ex-Iwa invasion force commander) and battled with Rasa.

Not only that, I fought and killed Dan and fought against a bunch of elite geniuses of Konoha. I ran away from the whole bunch of Konoha Anbu and clan members while carrying three innocent kids and Hizashi. I successfully escaped from Hanzo, answering the stupid Eagle test, fought with both Tsunade and Sakumo, tricked Jiraiya into retreating, and contributed heavily to Iwa force retreatment.

'God, now that I think about it, I freaking almost died shit tons of times. If I didn't have a system, I might have drop-dead within the first 2 months of the war. Thanks to the various useful rewards that the System gave out, I managed to survive this chaos war safely.'

I had a bit number of scars and the wounds on my body, but the biggest one was the big blade scar on the chest, which I received on the day of the first battle. But I never tried to hide it, because it looked way cool.

Currently, I am reviewing what I should do first in order to get stronger. I asked the System what A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu scrolls I had in its database now. Since my sword got broken by Sakumo, so I am in search of my new partners. I decided to focus on ninjutsu until I buy new matching butterfly swords.

The System placed out the list of A-rank and S-rank jutsu from its database. Well, there were barely only two S-rank jutsu scrolls.

Lightning release: Lighting Chakra Mode armor(cloak) jutsu

Earth release: Earth Hardening jutsu

I got the Lightning chakra mode armor(cloak) jutsu as a reward for my first battle in the war. I almost forgot that I had this jutsu scroll since it was impossible for me to learn it at that time.

Earth hardening jutsu is one of those rare treasures I copied from the Iwa Shinobi library when I was just an academy student. I remember how I dreamed about being invincible in taijutsu with a combination of these two jutsu and Wing Chun style.

Since both jutsu are S-rank, it would probably take more than 5 years to master them for me, which was a bit too long. But I was sure I can beat up Sakumo if I had these two jutsus in my arsenal.

I also had to develop my signature jutsu to complete my long-ass quest and get that chakra increasing pill as a reward.

Besides those two S-rank jutsus, System has a ton of scrolls about Sealing, which most of them are likely stolen during the Uzushiogakure invasion.

Among them were the Five Elements Seal, Five Elements Unseal, Purple Blossom seal [A/N: Jinchuriki seal I made up], and many more useful seals. There were not many sealing masters in Iwagakure, and they might come in handy when dealing with Jinchurikis.

I also want to learn a few of Iryo(Medical) ninjutsu. I not too sure as to whether my mother prepared some sort of inheritance for me when I was in her belly. But I am sure any Iryo shinobi will teach a few tricks due to my mother's influence.

I can't forget about training with the Eagles. I need to get familiar with other Eagles, including Boss, and study their fighting styles. I am not too sure if I can get their sage mode within the next great ninja war. I just don't have time to learn all that.

'Oh my god, I sure have a ton of shits to learn. Becoming S-rank shinobi sure is hard. I still have a long way to go.'

After careful thinking, this was the list I decided to master in order.

Signature jutsu

Summoning training

Chidori or Raikiri

Lightning cloak

Earth Hardenin armor

Sealings

Medical jutsu

Sage mode

For now, these were my aims. I was not sure if I can master all these within the next war, but I decided to try my best.

'Since I successfully survived the 2nd great ninja war, my next object is now to lead the Iwa to victory and let the world know my name in the 3rd great ninja war.'

-----------------

After the war, the number of explosion corps members was drastically shortened. We lost about two-thirds of our members. This caused a great deal of stress to Captain Ishika. The lesser member we had, the lesser influence we have.

The previous 5 divisions of the Explosion corps are now reduced to 2 divisions, the trainee and main. Also, Gin left the explosion corps.

Gin had lost his left eye, but for some reason, Onoki decided to transplant Byakugan to him. In return, Gin had to leave the explosion corps and serve ROCK division until the end.

As for myself, I am planning to quit the explosion corps also. Since I became Jounin, I can earn a stable income and get a house myself. There was simply no reason for me to stay in the Explosion corps, where I most likely to get A-rank difficulty missions daily.

I want to have a peaceful day, so I can train nonstop. I will leave Gari and Kan to look after the explosion corps. I hope Captain Ishika let me leave without making any ruckus.
