Chapter 4 - TIMESKIP 2

(UNKNOWN ISLAND, EAST BLUE)

It has been one and a half year, since my first kill. I had upped my training again these last few months. I started wearing weights, the whole time, in order to strengthen my body. My Taijutsu training is also going great, I had started learning two Taijutsu styles. Namely, Gentle Fist and Strong Fist both complement each other perfectly. While one deals Internal Damage the other causes External Damage. But my final goal is not only to master these two, but to combine them together to create the Ultimate Taijutsu.

Due to my strenuous training, I was also able to awaken Byakugan which combined with Gentle Fist took it whole another level. Byakugan or The All Seeing Eyes vision's can penetrate almost any object, allowing users to see through walls,peer underground, or even examine the contents of a person's body. This made it easier for me to target the opponents weak point. The X-Ray vision given to me by Byakugan also helped in mastering Medical Ninjutsu faster.

I had also gotten used to fighting with Sharingan. It allowed me two peculiar abilities the "Eye of Insight" and "Eye of Hypnotism". The Eye of Insight granted me incredible clarity of perception, enabling me to read lips or mimic something like pencil movements.In combat, this allowed me to see fast-moving objects and, once fully developed, offers some amount of predictive capabilities: I can anticipate an opponent's next move based on the slightest muscle tension in their body and act accordingly to dodge or intercept them. Though,my body also needs to be able on the level to dodge them.

The Eye of Hypnotism helps the user perform what is called Genjutsu(Illusion). While there are various manifestations and purposes of the ability, the better known one is to, through eye contact, suggest thoughts and actions to a target, coercing them to divulge information or act in a particular way, potentially without the target's awareness.In extreme cases, the Sharingan user can take complete control of the target's body, forcing them to do exactly as the controller wishes; this control is visually indicated by the Sharingan's design appearing in the target's eye.Multiple targets can be taken control of in this way, though the more divided the user's attention is, the easier it is for targets to escape this control.

This, in turn made it easier for me to master Ninjutsu, the basic ones anyway. It took me a little longer to learn C and B rank Jutsu. I didn't need to spend a lot of time to master chakra control due to Byakugan. I have reached expert level in Fuinjutsu and am on the border of Master level. I had started making my own Paralysis Seal and Part Bombs.

The hardest to learn was Wood release, at first I had to master Water and Earth style Jutsu. I still wasn't able to use any large scale techniques unlike my predecessor, who could change whole landscapes on whims. I had also made a boat for myself, in order to leave the island.Though calling it a boat will be generous, it was more of a dinghy, even with my wood style it was the best I could do.

My time on the Island was almost up. I had made a lot of progress in these last few months, finally reaching Mid-Chunin Level. Hunting different beasts on the Island had helped me progress faster. Now, I had only one prey left on the Island. A huge snake, it was the King of the Forest. I had seen it once, when I accidentally went too deep into the forest. It's green scale allowed it to camoflauge perfectly. I didn't even know of it's presence, until it's mouth was right in front of me. Even though, I wasn't actively using my chakra to sense the surroundings, it was still able to hide from the Byakugan. The only reason I didn't die, because it didn't see me as important enough to even give me a second glance. This irked me even more, reminding me of my weakness. That day I promised myself I won't leave until I defeat it. So that's where I am going for my final fight.
