Capítulo 2: Chapter 2 : Orphanage

After getting up, he could see that it was already evening. The clock showed that it was 6:30 pm. He also noticed that he was incredibly hungry. He thought, 'I haven't eaten anything all day, no wonder I'm so hungry. I need to grab something to eat. I also need to act as a kid. I hope no one notices any changes in me' He walked to the door and heard a couple of noises outside. On opening it, he saw those 2 kids playing with each other. He recalled that their names were Sakai Eichi and Aoki Daisuke. Both were good friends with Fujin and also shared the room. Eichi had lost his parents in the Kurama assault too, whereas Daisuke had lost his during the 3rd great ninja war. Looking at Fujin, their faces showed concern and quickly ran to him. Daisuke asked, "Fujin, what happened, are you fine now?" Nodding his head, Fujin confirmed, "Yeah, I'm fine now. Sorry about before. Had a terrible headache." Eichi said, "Oh, that's a relief. We were worried about you." Right at that moment, a growling sound was heard, and all 3 kids looked towards Fujin's stomach. Fujin looked embarrassed and said while rubbing the back of his head, "Guess I'm very hungry" and Eichi remarked, "Figures, you've been sleeping all day". Daisuke then put his arm around Fujin and said, "Well let's go to the mess and see if there's anything there."

All three kids started to make their way to the mess. On the way, quite a few kids gave Fujin a curious look. A couple of them also asked how he is doing now. Fujin analyzed, 'I guess they all heard about me screaming and falling unconscious'. Fujin recalled from his memories that there are over 250 orphans in this orphanage. Fujin wondered 'I wonder if Naruto is in this orphanage too'. On reaching the mess, we saw the caretaker. Her name was Saya. She was a middle-aged woman, and also very friendly. Upon seeing Fujin she quickly approached him and inquired about his health. Upon hearing that he was alright, she felt relieved. She informed Fujin, "We were very worried about you. We called a doctor to check on you. But he didn't understand what was wrong with you, I'm glad you are fine, but you still have to get checked up once again." Fujin nodded and replied, "Thank You. But right now I am very hungry, is there anything I could eat?" She nodded, and replied, "Yes, the dinner has been prepared. Though there's still some time for dinner to be arranged for everyone, I'll arrange the food for you". Then Saya prepared a plate for Fujin, while Daisuke and Eichi went away to play.

Fujin started to eat thinking, "The food's okay. Not very tasty, but it's alright considering that it is an orphanage. It seems that we are given 3 meals here - morning breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also lots of fruits are available to eat. Sadly meat isn't provided here. Still though, nutrition provided here should be alright. So I could probably get some training done without having to worry about food. Anyways, I should fill myself up". After finishing the food, Fujin retired to his room.

Falling back into his bed he started thinking, 'Well what a day. Though it's rather tough to act as a kid, luckily no one noticed any difference in me. It's good that there aren't any ninjas in the orphanage. Guess I need to think what to do now. Now that I'm here, I don't wanna be a no-name cannon fodder. And my knowledge about future events also gives me a great edge. So how exactly should I proceed forward?' With that Fujin started to think about all the possibilities for him and what all he should do.

Upon analysing for half an hour, he finally came to the conclusion, 'Alright, though I know the future events, without having enough power, all that knowledge is worthless. Not to mention, there's no guarantee that things will progress exactly as it did in the manga. It had too many plotholes anyways. And providing someone else with this information is a strict no. They'll just throw me to T&I department or in an even worse case to Danzo! It will also change all future events depriving me of my advantage. So I suppose planning for the future events can be left to the future, and will depend on how much power I have then. Right now the main focus should be on improving my own power. So how to go about it…

Well for now, normal jutsus are out of the question. Normal civilians don't get access to jutsus, so jutsus could only be taken from the academy. And I can only attempt to join the ninja academy next year. Even though I know about many jutsus and know what they can do, I don't really remember the hand signs for them. The only jutsu who's hand signs I remember is the shadow clone technique. Sadly it's a Jounin level technique and dangerous enough to be classified as forbidden. Not to mention, knowing those hand signs itself won't be enough. I guess the hand signs made the chakra move in a particular manner or display some properties which allow those jutsus to be completed. Until I gain that knowledge, attempting hand signs would be rather pointless. That said, I could try jutsus and training that don't require hand signs. Rasengan, elements and chakra control can be trained. Since I have unlocked my chakra, chakra control exercises would be crucial to do. Only issue is that I don't want anyone else to watch me doing them. I guess I can try to do Leaf concentration over the next year. Tree climbing could attract a lot of attention. And with a village full of ninjas, it's impossible to ensure full privacy. Luckily, the first and second stages of Rasengan training can be done in privacy, so can the first stage of elemental training.

Apart from that, I should try to improve my body. Heck, this is probably the most critical. While my physical condition ain't bad, It's not very good either. So I should start with light exercise to build up stamina and power. I wonder if I could do something similar to Master Roshi's training, and it would be incredibly helpful if I can catch Guy's attention. Oh well, let's see what happens tomorrow. Hopefully at least this headache will be gone by tomorrow'. With that, Fujin finally went back to sleep.
