After the first biju hunt was successful, I started my training with new vigor.
I cannot afford to lag behind.
So, once again my training begun, this time perfecting all the ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu I had under my belt.
I even secretly transplanted Obito's mangekyo sharingan on myself to assist me in genjutsu while I disguised it with ordinary blue colored eye lens.
Endless hours of taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu training to it's perfection resulted in a lot of time passing, once again but I didn't care.
In front of my goal, all the worldly matter don't hold a candle.
The training was making me stronger everyday.
I mastered wind nature and water nature completely, being able to generate tornadoes and floods with a few hand seals, I mastered eight gates technique up to sixth gate, I mastered the usage of sharingan completely, making me extremely good at genjutsu.
The biggest leap was in my senjutsu arts.
I was able to instantly enter into sage mode without any troubles and was able to extract Kyuubi's chakra against it's will to make tailed beast bombs with ease.
But I still wasn't the best of the best.
I still lacked experience.
So I took a lot of missions under my belt to test whatever I learnt, in the battlefield.
Nearly 10 months passed during this time.
A lot happened during this time.
Hidan and Kakuzu were able to capture Yugito Nii and killed Asuma as well as Chiruku.
Shikamaru hunted Hidan down.
Kakuzu was killed by Gai and me.
Jiraiya was killed by Pain.
Itachi succumbed to his illness and his brother got his eyes.
Several Akatsuki members tried to hunt me because of increase in strength and not letting me grow stronger but I was able to escape every single time because only my shadow clones went on missions and my real body was always somewhere else, training.
Slowly but surely the day was arriving...
The day pain attacks Konoha...
The day everything I did will finally bear fruit.

(A/N: Another chapter.
I can't write too much about Naruto canon as it's just some copy paste stuff.
Don't like it? Then go watch Naruto Shippuden before the pain arc. Just some events are gone and totally different set of jutsus are used by some ninjas because of butterfly effect.
(Sasuke and team Kakashi didn't meet, Sasuke didn't learn Chidori etc.)
This is mainly a foreshadowing chapter as I plan to write about MC is going to deal with Hagoromo and other Otsutsukis as well as the 'Gods' that possess the same system MC does.
If you want to read about Shippuden stuff in detail then let me know.
Opinion and questions here.
Gimme powerstones and sweet reviews.
Thanks for reading!)
