Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 4 Brain: I'm Fast! (Please vote and give me your monthly tickets to continue reading)

Ninja Academy, Class 1, Grade 1.

Kimura Koya was giving a long explanation of the key points of chakra extraction, while more than half of the students in the seats were doing their own thing.

Kimura Koya didn't care about this, because he knew that most of the students who came from ninja clans or whose parents were ninjas were already able to refine chakra before entering the school.

Hoshita Shuichi, who was sitting in his seat, was not listening to the lesson either. His chakra refining was taught by Yakushi Nonou, and he had no problems at all.

Right now, he is memorizing the text, filling the textbook content word for word into the memory palace he has built.

Of course, many of the lessons learned by ninjas cannot be simply memorized.

For example, handprints are only the first step.

The second step is to be able to complete the task skillfully and accurately with both hands.

The third step is to be able to generate chakra while forming hand seals, since the purpose of hand seals is to guide chakra in order to better release ninjutsu.

It takes three steps to complete the hand seals and perform ninjutsu. As for the speed of the hand seals, it requires long-term training to develop muscle memory.

Of course, while filling in the memory palace, Hoshino Shuichi was also taking notes, making annotations, and leaving behind a series of questions.

This can be considered a preview.

Next to Hoshino Shuichi, Shizune was also not listening to the lesson.

Having the same background, most of her attention was drawn to the earnest Hoshino Shuuichi.

Although Hoshino Shuichi doesn't have Kakashi's aloofness, he has a clean and handsome appearance, a gentle and warm smile, and most importantly, his serious expression at this moment makes Shizune feel especially good.

……

At noon, the bell rang, and the last class of the morning ended.

After the teacher left, the students in the classroom dispersed in a flurry.

Students who lived close to the school went home, while those who lived far away stayed at school and ate packed lunches. Hoshino Shuichi and Might Guy were among the latter.

However, just as the two were fighting, a voice interrupted them.

"Shuichi-kun, I have some spinach here, would you like to try some?"

Hoshino Shuichi and Might Guy both looked up.

Looking at the slightly shy Shizune, Hoshino Hideichi was a tiny bit surprised, then smiled and didn't refuse: "Thank you, then I won't be polite!"

So what should have been a meal for two became a meal for three, with Matt Kay fighting alone.

Shizune offered Hoshino Shuichi some of her dishes, and Hoshino Shuichi reciprocated, saying, "Shizune, this is some beef slices I made myself, please try some!"

"Huh?"

"sharp!"

Shizune was shocked. She hadn't expected Hoshino Shuichi to be so amazing. She hadn't even learned his skills yet!

I reached out and picked up a slice, and surprisingly, it tasted pretty good.

But soon, Shizune looked at Hoshino Shuichi, who was enjoying his meal, and felt a pang of pity: "Shuichi-kun, it must be very hard for you all by yourself..."

The meal only lasted 15 minutes, and in the end, even the half of the brown rice that Shizune left was devoured by Hoshino Shuichi.

The period from then until 2 PM was lunch break, but Hoshino Shuichi didn't do that; he continued his pre-study and memorization of textbooks.

Might Guy was fast asleep next to him, while Shizune was watching the serious Hoshino Shuichi gradually drift off to sleep.

The course continued at 2 PM, consisting of kunai throwing and practical lessons.

At this point, noticeable differences begin to emerge among the students in the class.

Students like Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, and Shizune, who were taught by their fathers or came from ninja clans, showed remarkable performance in both kunai throwing and practical combat.

There is a clear difference between him and ordinary students like Hoshino Shuichi and Might Guy.

Hoshino Shuichi happened to be paired with Shizune, and in their duel, he was completely defeated!

Kakashi faced off against Obito Uchiha, and to Shuichi Hoshino's surprise, Obito Uchiha actually fought Kakashi to a standstill in the first half of the match, with the two exchanging blows in a very methodical manner.

Is this the kind of strength a bottom-ranked team should have?

Shuichi Hoshino felt he should re-examine the people he knew.

And among all the students in Class 1, the most dazzling one, admired by many girls, was undoubtedly Kakashi.

Obito Uchiha felt envy and jealousy, and his resentment was even felt by Shuichi Hoshita, who was far away.

Once upon a time, Obito Uchiha was also popular with girls, but now Kakashi has stolen his thunder!

"hateful!"

Seeing Kakashi being cheered on by the girls, and especially seeing Nohara Rin's eyes filled with Kakashi, Uchiha Obito couldn't help but clench his fists.

Next time, next time I'll definitely beat this guy to a pulp!

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth.

……

At 5 p.m., the day's classes ended.

Hoshino Shuichi and Might Guy went to the woods together to continue training until they were completely exhausted before going home.

Wash up, do laundry, cook, eat.

At eight o'clock, Hoshino Hideichi continued studying.

Whether for his own sake or for Yakushi Nonou's, he cannot afford to be complacent.

The term tree offered him endless possibilities, but he still needed to put in his utmost effort to fill them.

At midnight, Hoshino Hideichi went to bed on time, ending his busy and fulfilling day.

From that day on, Hoshino Shuichi's life began to become incredibly regular.

She attends classes on weekdays and helps out at the orphanage on weekends, where she also seeks advice from Pharmacist Nonou.

But whether it's a school day or a weekend, he never misses training with Might Guy.

However, from that day on, in the daily practical lessons, Hoshino Shuichi began a period of constant beatings.

Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, Shizune, Obito Uchiha... Apart from Guy and a few other commoner students, Hoshino Shuichi was unable to defeat them.

The gap is obvious.

But in the eyes of his teacher, Hiroya Kimura, he saw Shuichi Hoshino's rapid progress.

Hoshino Shuichi asked him many questions every day, and his eagerness to learn gave him a great sense of accomplishment and made him very happy.

……

A month has passed in the blink of an eye.

April 1rd, 9 PM.

"100 hours of focused learning is finally complete!"

Despite feeling somewhat exhausted, Hoshino Shuichi was very excited and looking forward to it.

Focusing his attention on the word tree in his mind, he immediately chose to combine the words "student" and "self-discipline".

And so, a new entry appeared, a leaf-shaped entry enveloped in green fluorescent light.

Straight A student!

Entry effect: The king of learning machines, 10 times more focus, 100% faster thinking speed. The original entry effect will not disappear.

When the effect of the entry took effect, Hoshino Shuichi immediately felt the difference.

A mosquito flew past him, and he felt as if its movement had been slowed down.

"Sure enough, doubling the speed of thought means that the brain processes information faster, thus forming 'dynamic vision'."

"But it's not just about dynamic vision; it's about a comprehensive improvement in the speed of thought processes, not just the speed of image processing."

"And the brain's neural response capabilities..."

Hoshino Hideichi immediately raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

It's even faster!

However, Hoshino Shuichi immediately frowned: "Although it increases the speed of hand seal formation a little, it makes my hands and brain uncoordinated."

"My brain works fast, but my hands can't keep up."

Brain: I'm fast!

Hand: I can't keep up.
