Rasa came back holding a full tray stacked with E level scrolls.
Upon checking it includes most academy level scrolls taught in the academy like muki suna kaishin (inorganic sand conversion), suna tegakari fukisesu (sand track eraser), suna kojinmari (sand compaction), suna arashi no shinto (deadly sand storm), hada no kamereon (chameleon skin), suna arashi no odekemono (trickster's sand storm), ussou kabe (impenetrable wall).
Another tray was given to him afterwards, this time however, the tray contained D level ninjutsu like suna bakudan (sand bomb), rasensunakirei (spiral sand slicer), suna shuriken (sand shuriken), suna nawa (sand rope), suna same (sand shark), suna tsume (sand claws), daisan no me (third eye), suna no yoroi (sand armor), suna hogo sochi (sand shield), suna ouchi (sand pit), tsuitou suna (tracking sand), and other genin level jutsus are mongst those that he could recognize from the anime.
'I guess I'll be busy for the time being.'
Despite the fact that learning sand techniques be it ninjutsu or genjutsu came naturally to Gaara, the sheer number of techniques will ensure that it would take time for him to learn them all.
"Father, if I may, do we have a copy of Kage bunshin in our library?"
Gaara asked with anticipation.
"That... We do have it. The previous kage managed to get it from a captured konohagakure ninja in fact it is where we derived the suna bunshin from, but this techniques is very taxing to the user especially to those with low chakra volume."
Gaara almost did a fist pump of success when he heard confirmation from his father.
'Did this psychotic father actually not considered my jinjuriki status?'
Gaara asked himself. Unable to come up with an answer he mentally shrugged and asked.
"Can I be allowed to learn it? I do have a very high chakra volume..."
Rasa pondered and again disappeared only to return a couple of seconds later with a scroll in hand. He tossed the scroll for Gaara to catch.
"This time I will give you two weeks to learn all these."
He pointed at the trays with his gaze and gave Gaara the mission impossible he is expecting for Gaara to fail this time but is also eagerly anticipating a surprise. He then turned to leave.
"Hai! I will not fail you father."
The kage is gone with a whoosh but Gaara didn't care, a wide grin decorated his face like a kid who received an early birthday present. As a jinjuriki of the ichibi, the restrictions imposed by the forbidden technique did not apply to him.
Gaara opened the copy of shadow clone technique and began to diligently study the workings of the famous forbidden yet not forbidden jutsu.
Ram, snake, tiger. It's a fairly simple jutsu like every other clone jutsus, if not for the chakra requirements then everyone who wanted can learn it pretty quickly.
It took him more time reading the content of the scroll than actually having initial success with the jutsu. Fifteen minutes later, there are enough Gaara in the training ground to study each of the scrolls while the original continued to train his body through his modified gravity enhancement and weighted seals.
Unknown to him (or is it), an eyeball made of sand is observing him from a distance.
Rasa held one of his eyes close with one hand as he secretly spied on Gaara's training. If learning kage bunshin technique in a matter of minutes wasn't enough to faze him, then creating an army of shadow clones stupefied him.
'This kid might just be the one we need to get back on konohagakure and the wind daimyo.'
Rasa began cooking his schemes 'for the sake of the village's future' he will sacrifice everything. He's had enough of losing to the other great ninja villages, the humiliation he felt told him that his status is in name only, his own people are beginning to lose faith in his administration. He had to do something, he has to do it soon.
