Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 3: The Memory Palace! (Please vote and read on!)

The "academic superstar" entry must be combined!

With the support of the term "student," 100 hours of focused study is not a problem. Even if it's just one hour a day, it would only take a maximum of 100 days.

"If it really takes 100 days, then it's hopeless..."

Refocusing his gaze on the desk, Hoshino Hideichi picked up the alarm clock beside him, set the time, and then unfolded the scroll left by his father.

He had only skimmed through it before, but now he was going to study it carefully.

With the help of the "student" entry, Hoshino Shizuka quickly immersed herself in her studies, completely focused.

The scroll contains a lot of content, and it's clear that much of it was added later, rather than being completed all at once.

From the extraction of chakra and the throwing of shuriken, to the Three Body Technique, to the many things a ninja needs to pay attention to during a mission, and then to the explanation of two fire-style ninjutsu.

Very detailed.

However, judging solely from the aspect of chakra extraction, Hoshishita Shuichi quickly realized that his father was far inferior to Yakushi Nonou in this regard.

This is not surprising, after all, Yakushi Nonou is a medical ninja, and now she is at the Jonin level, which is much higher than Chunin.

However, Hoshino Shuichi still made some progress on the subject of chakra refinement.

Time passed slowly, and with the ringing of the alarm clock, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

As Xingxia Xiu looked up, her thoughts slowly detached from the scroll.

One word: awesome!

Two words: I'm exhausted!

It wasn't just mental exhaustion, but also physical weakness; I felt completely drained.

Weakly pressing the alarm clock, Hoshino Hideichi scrambled off to eat.

Fortunately, we had plenty of food left over from lunch, so we weren't short of food or drink.

After a hearty meal, Hoshino Hideichi felt revitalized and couldn't help but sigh, "High-intensity concentration can't be maintained for long. I can't even last two hours. My body is still too weak."

After packing two more bento boxes and two bottles of saline solution, Hoshino Shuichi leisurely went out to walk and digest his food before meeting up with Might Guy.

After meeting up with Might Guy in the Konoha grove, the two began their afternoon training.

Running laps around the woods, running laps upside down, push-ups, side jumps, straight punches, kicks, and finally sparring.

After exhausting all their strength, the two lay on the grass, gazing at the stars in the sky and panting heavily.

"As expected of my eternal rival, Shuichi!"

Matt Kai suddenly grinned.

Previously, whether in training or sparring, Hoshino Shuichi had never fallen behind.

Hearing Kai's words, Hoshino Shuichi wanted to retort, "Kakashi is your eternal rival..."

However, he said, "Effort will not be in vain, Kai. I haven't fallen behind you in terms of hard work!"

He's a master at giving inspirational speeches and such.

Of course, Hoshino Shuichi understood even better that while 99 percent effort was important, that 1 percent talent was what determined one's potential.

Therefore, he wanted to get his hands on both the "academic genius" and "physically strong" entries.

Not only that, he needs to trigger even more keywords.

Otherwise, how could someone as ordinary as him compare to a genius like Kakashi, how could he fight Danzo, or how could he compare to the overpowered Uchiha and Otsutsuki clans?

Once their strength had recovered slightly, the two got up, took out their lunchboxes, and began to eat and drink heartily.

The three bento boxes were devoured, and Might Guy even licked them clean.

A half-grown boy, already eating his father's bread.

The inheritance left by his parents, plus the village subsidies, was more than enough for Hoshino Shuichi to live comfortably.

But no more than that.

How can I make money?

Too young!

Hoshino Shuichi's thoughts were racing as he chatted with Might Guy all the way home, his laughter occasionally startling a few birds.

It was almost eight o'clock when I got home. After washing the bento box, I took a long shower and washed my clothes as well.

And it was already 8:30.

Having prepared a late-night snack in advance, Hoshino Shuichi sat down at his desk, set his alarm, and once again focused intently on his studies.

At 11 o'clock, the alarm clock rang.

Hoshino weakly turned off the alarm clock and then quickly devoured the late-night snack he had prepared.

After eating and drinking his fill, he would take a walk around the house while mentally reviewing the contents of the scroll to reinforce his memory.

"My memory is much better than in my previous life, so perhaps I can try the memory palace training I had in my previous life."

Whether it's due to time travel or because the Naruto himself has a memory far exceeding his previous life, Hoshino Shuichi feels it's necessary to try the memory palace.

In particular, Naruto has genjutsu, cursed seals that seal the brain, and sealing techniques.

By the time we had finished digesting our food, it was exactly 12 o'clock.

Turn off the lights and get into bed.

Less than a minute later, Hoshino Shizuka quietly fell asleep.

……

On April 2nd, at 5 a.m., Hoshino Hideichi woke up on time.

I washed up, went out for a run, and bought groceries and breakfast on the way.

After preparing his lunchbox and having breakfast, Hoshino Hideichi entered the school at 8 o'clock and went to the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1.

Half an hour before 8:30, the classroom was empty. Hoshino Shuichi didn't care. He found a seat, sat down, and began to try to build his memory palace.

As time went by, the classroom became lively.

Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nohara, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi who was always clinging to Kurenai, Aoba Yamashiro, Ebisu, and people from various ninja clans, including the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Shimura clan, the Uchiha clan, and the Hyuga clan.

Clearly, this Class 1 is an "elite class".

When Might Guy arrived at the classroom, Hoshino Shuichi opened his eyes and saw Shizune sitting next to him.

"Hello, my name is Shizune!"

Jingyin, who still had a bit of baby fat, took the initiative to greet everyone.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Hoshita Shuichi!"

It seems Tsunade hasn't left Konoha yet!

After chatting with Kai and Jingyin for a while, the bell rang, and a young man wearing a green vest walked into the classroom.

The classroom gradually quieted down. The young man glanced at the little girls in the classroom and smiled, "Hello everyone, I'm Kimura Hiroya, and I'll be your homeroom teacher from today onwards."

"Alright, everyone, let's go get our textbooks together!"

A group of people followed Kimura Hiroya out of the classroom to collect their textbooks, and only then did Uchiha Obito arrive in a hurry.

Kakashi Hatake's sharp tongue strikes: "We almost ran out of textbooks!"

Obito Uchiha was furious and didn't have time to argue, but Rin Nohara quickly said, "Obito, hurry up and catch up!"

snort!

With a soft hum, Obito Uchiha followed Rin Nohara.

……

After receiving the textbooks, Hoshino Shuichi realized that the ninja academy had quite a few courses.

Chakra Analysis, Hand Seals and Chakra, Secrecy and Codes, Traps and Tracking, Introduction to Genjutsu, Three Body Techniques, Will of Fire, Ninja Way, Konoha Chronicles, Ninja World, Introduction to Talismans, Mathematics, Mechanics, Biology and Poison...

There were as many as twenty courses, which, although it covered the entire six-year ninja academy experience, was still quite a lot.

"The Will of Fire" and "The Way of the Ninja" are political and ideological courses, while "Konoha Chronicle" and "The Ninja World" can be considered history courses.

Apart from these, they are all professional courses.

Courses such as "Mathematics" and "Mechanics" were things that Hoshino Shuichi had never imagined before.

Will I need it?

Hoshino Shuichi thought about it carefully. Courses like mathematics and mechanics were indeed useful for a versatile mercenary ninja.

Whether it's fighting, assassination, or becoming a spy.

Holding a large stack of textbooks, Hoshino Shuichi felt he needed to re-evaluate the profession of ninja.
