Chapter 762: Pursuit of Strength!
As such, Fujin's mind became very clear. There were only a few things he truly wanted. One of them was to explore. Fujin wanted to explore this world. His trips with Kaito ignited this desire in him long back. He wanted to see everything that was hidden in this world. And, he wanted to explore further beyond this world! Now that he had abilities that he could only dream of in his previous life, Fujin would regret it if he couldn't do it.
His second ambition was his strength. Fujin wanted to be truly strong. He wanted to surpass the likes of Hashirama and Madara before reaching the level of Hagoromo and the Otsutsuki clan and surpassing them as well.
Weirdly enough, there wasn't any strong motivation behind this particular ambition. He didn't seek revenge nor did he have any noble goal which needed such strength. It was no longer about necessity either as Fujin already had the strength to ensure his safety.
While there was no doubt that having such strength would help him in several ways, like exploring beyond this world and combating the new threats he would face among other things, it wasn't the reason for this particular ambition of Fujin. It was a simple, unadulterated and passionate pursuit of strength! Fujin wanted to see how strong a mere human could get. He wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole went. He wanted to see what bottlenecks he'd face and he wanted to break through them.
In a war-torn world, where people frequently had to grieve the loss of their loved ones which fueled their desire to gain strength, such a pure pursuit was extremely rare.
That said, Fujin had another goal, for which having strength was extremely necessary. The power he needed to accomplish that goal was so high that Fujin couldn't even imagine it. Fujin wanted to understand the circumstances of his transmigration and the secrets behind it.
If there was something that Fujin felt strongly about, it was this. Unfortunately, he knew how difficult that was and understood that he may never reach a level where he could understand this. Even if he died before understanding the secrets, he wouldn't care much as long as he enjoyed his journey up to that point.
Regardless, those were his long-term goals. The successful creation of the Myriad Tetragram Seal was a small but critical step in realization of those goals. Fujin gazed away from the transparent sphere and glanced at the center of the empty lake.
Unlike a minute ago, it was no longer empty. Though extremely faint, a blue glow was visible. Fujin thought, 'While the main purpose of Myriad Tetragram Seal is to absorb a Tailed Beasts chakra, it also has a secondary function. Though not as groundbreaking as the main purpose, it is still very handy. I can use this seal to store my chakra just like how Tsunade can with the help of her Strength of a Hundred Seal!'
