Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

The room became brighter.

The sounds of cicadas and sparrows could be heard outside the window.

It is summer.

Chapter 13 I've already received the best gift of gratitude...

Naruto's foundation goes without saying.

It can be said that they were penniless and had nothing at all.

The main focus is on something with unlimited potential.

So even if tutoring were provided, it would be an absolutely impossible task.

Fortunately, Hinata's patience seems to be endless.

Sometimes Naruto himself felt that he was too stupid, wondering why he could never understand, but Hinata still maintained her gentle and shy smile and continued to try her best to explain to Naruto.

"I'm sorry, Hinata, was I too stupid?"

Hinata shook her head.

"No, Naruto-kun, I never thought that way..."

"really?"

"Um... I, I've always really admired Naruto-kun..."

"Envious of me? What?"

Hinata blushed and thought for a moment before whispering.

"Naruto is always so optimistic, cheerful, and full of energy. No matter how others see him or what they say about him, he never gets discouraged. Even when faced with ridicule, he doesn't care. Even when facing the genius Sasuke, he never admits defeat."

Naruto looked at Hinata's small face, opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Hinata, I'm not as good as you say, and it's not that I don't care about what others think, it's just..."

"I can't really say for sure, but I just want to prove myself and let those who look down on me see it."

Hinata smiled gently: "So that's what makes Naruto-kun so amazing..."

Looking at the girl's smile, Naruto's heart stirred slightly.

"Hinata, this seems to be the first time you've said so much..."

Hinata blushed even more and lowered her head.

"Because this is what I've always wanted to say to Naruto-kun."

"You might not remember, but when I was being bullied by a bunch of bad kids, it was Naruto who stood up for me..."

Naruto stroked his chin, trying to recall the events carefully.

"Hmm...is there?"

Hinata smiled and said, "Of course! Ever since... ever since then, I've always paid close attention to Naruto-kun. Your strength, your optimism, your hard work, and your never-give-up attitude are all sources of motivation for me..."

If it were someone with a sensitive mind, Hinata's words would be tantamount to a confession.

But Naruto remained unmoved and instead crossed his arms proudly.

"Really? Heh, looks like I'm still pretty good after all!"

Hinata nodded gently: "Yes, of course..."

Naruto suddenly felt confident, and then a brilliant idea struck him.

"what!"

"I almost forgot about that!"

He suddenly remembered that he had acquired his first vocabulary ability yesterday...

[Knowledge Absorption]

Once you enter a state of complete concentration, you can significantly improve your understanding and mastery of knowledge!

Hinata tilted her head.

"what?"

Naruto patted his chest confidently.

"Hinata, I'm about to go all out!"

"Don't be scared by me!"

Hinata didn't understand what he was saying, but she still nodded.

"okay."

really.

Once Naruto enters a state of complete concentration, the [Knowledge Absorption] effect enhances his understanding of Hinata's explanations, instantly boosting his comprehension by several levels.

It's not only not as obscure, but it even allows for some generalization.

This surprised and delighted Hinata.

The morning passed quietly as the two of them were having their tutoring session.

Hinata glanced out the window.

The sun is high in the sky.

She said somewhat flusteredly, "Naruto-kun, I... I only took half a day off, it's time to go back."

"Are you taking a day off? Isn't today the weekend?"

Hinata said somewhat helplessly, "Yes, I asked my father for leave..."

"because……"

"In short, I need to complete a lot of training this afternoon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to continue tutoring Naruto-kun."

"If there's another chance, I'll let Naruto-kun know in advance."

Even if Naruto is usually careless, he can understand at this point.

He scratched his head and chuckled dryly, "You're right, you're right. We can't just think about myself; Hinata needs to train hard too!"

"But... are you just going to leave like this?"

"I haven't even said thank you yet!"

Hinata stood up, walked to the door, blushed, turned back with a smile, and waved to Naruto.

"No... no need, Naruto-kun."

"I have already received the best gift."

She said goodbye, blushed, and turned to leave. Soon, the sound of her hurrying downstairs could be heard, as if she were very embarrassed, like a little rabbit running away.

Naruto looked out the window at the girl running away downstairs, her sun hat covering her face, and was momentarily confused.

"Hinata..."

"What a strange fellow, but..."

"Besides Iruka-sensei, she's the second person who's been this kind to me..."

Although Naruto is oblivious, he is very clear about who is good to him.

"Well, I'll properly express my gratitude to Hinata when we get to school!"

[Congratulations, host! After a morning of extra lessons, your skills in all subjects have improved to some extent!]

Naruto grinned.

Even without the system saying anything, he could sense that he seemed to have learned a lot of new knowledge.

Hinata's patient explanations, coupled with the aid of her focused [knowledge absorption] ability, and of course, her own hard work...

This morning's tutoring was equivalent to half a year's worth of my own studies!

Of course, he hadn't learned much in the six months prior.

Current proficiency in academic subjects

Cultural subjects:

Physics (48/100)

Chemistry (39/100)

Mathematics (40/100)

Chinese Language (52/100)

History (46/100)

English (58/100)

Biology (52/100)

Moral character (44/100)

Ninja Tips (52/100)

Naruto checked his current attributes. All his academic subjects had improved dramatically compared to when he was only in the twenties or thirties. It was a complete transformation!

Almost all courses have added 10 to 20 points!

To be honest, even if the exam started right now, Naruto's academic performance, while unlikely to be in the top ten, would at least be below average.

It's a far cry from its previous bottom-ranked position.

Naruto stretched out a big yawn.

Fortunately, the system was reasonable enough that it didn't cause any trouble during the morning's tutoring session, nor did it unleash any lightning-based baptisms or warnings.

Clearly, he knows the necessity of his tutoring...

Naruto stretched out a big yawn.

Although he hadn't actually practiced any cultivation techniques, these academic classes were even more torturous for him than performing the Body Rejuvenation Technique three hundred times.

One is physical strength, and the other is mental strength.

As Naruto watched the sun rise high in the sky, the system immediately reminded him that it was time for lunch.

He immediately prepared a sumptuous meal for himself, wolfed it down, and thought to himself, "Next time, I should invite Hinata to dinner too..."

[Host, you had your academic classes this morning. This afternoon, please proceed immediately to the Konoha Village Ninja Training Grounds to begin your taijutsu training!]

"Physical skills?"

Naruto didn't refuse, obediently nodded, cleaned up the mess, changed into clothes suitable for training, and headed towards the Konoha ninja training grounds.

Before we even got there, we suddenly heard a terrifying sound.

bang bang bang-

Bang bang bang!

"What is this? An earthquake?!"

Naruto peeked through the bushes and saw a guy with a watermelon-shaped haircut and thick eyebrows frantically attacking a wooden stake, punching and kicking, gritting his teeth!

It was as if they were burning with passion, burning with their very lives!

"Wow, what a terrifying guy!"

"Is it necessary to work this hard?"

[The host's physical training is very simple; you only need to work a little harder than Rock Lee in front of you!]

Naruto:"???"

"So you want me dead?!"
