"You've gotten hooked on studying, haven't you?!"

Chapter 4 I really don't have a single drop left...

During the ten-minute break between classes, Naruto's chakra level increased by a full 3 points!

Furthermore, the proficiency of the Chakra Extraction Technique itself has also improved, currently reaching 58 points. In future training, the efficiency of chakra extraction will also increase significantly.

Naruto finally breathed a sigh of relief when class finally started, though he was drenched in sweat.

However, seeing Mizuki-sensei stride into the classroom, Naruto felt nothing but despair.

"Today we continue our study of chemistry..."

Naruto: "...Aaaaaaah!"

"Why do ninjas need to study chemistry?!"

Despite his inner rage, Naruto had no choice but to widen his eyes again and force himself into a state of complete concentration...

Fortunately, having learned from the previous lesson, Naruto got into the zone much faster.

But the problem is, my mental and physical endurance are gradually reaching their limits...

If the last class was hell on earth...

This lesson was truly hell.

but……

In order to escape the baptism of lightning, Naruto still managed to hold on with all his might.

[Your initial focused attention during the lecture has improved your understanding of the [Chemistry] course; proficiency +3, current proficiency level 19!]

Naruto: "...Only 19 points improved?"

"It was only 16 points?!"

"It's even worse than physics class..."

With such clear data, Naruto became increasingly aware of his status as a loser.

……

Naruto's astonishing transformation finally drew everyone's attention.

In fact, even though he was at the bottom of the class, Naruto's "presence" in the class was still overwhelming.

Both those at the bottom and those at the top of their class are noteworthy.

The players who score 60 points are always the ones who lack presence.

Not to mention, Naruto also has the special identity of the demon fox.

Even though these children were unaware of it, they were subtly influenced by the special attitude the adults had towards Naruto.

However, being distant and indifferent towards Naruto doesn't mean she can't see him...

On the contrary, whether it was the original Naruto who was lazy, irresponsible, and skipped classes to play pranks every day, or the Naruto who suddenly listened attentively in class and even seized every opportunity to train during breaks, he has firmly captured everyone's attention.

"What's wrong with Naruto?"

"You seem like a completely different person all of a sudden?"

"Could it be that it's been possessed by a demon?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. I got scolded by Dad last time I said something like that..."

"Has that kid suffered some kind of shock?"

"Could it be that he broke up with his girlfriend?!"

"It's possible. He's always liked Sakura, but Sakura only has eyes for Sasuke..."

"Given Sakura's rough attitude, it's not surprising that she got provoked..."

"I see……"

Sakura Haruno naturally noticed Naruto's change as well.

As she listened to the murmurs of the crowd, she couldn't help but frown.

"That Naruto guy, could it really be because of me...?"

"Should we go and comfort him?"

"Hmph, forget it. That guy will definitely misunderstand. I don't want him to think I have a chance..."

Thinking of this, Sakura Haruno once again surrounded Sasuke.

but……

In fact, the person who cared most about Naruto was Sasuke Uchiha.

His stern, indifferent face remained completely expressionless.

But my heart was already filled with mixed emotions.

"What is that bastard Naruto up to?"

"You think you can turn your life around, being a mere bottom-of-the-class student?"

"Damn it... I won't lose to that kind of guy..."

"I also want to... kill that man!"

"How can you be lazy and slack off here?!"

In Uchiha Sasuke's mind, a figure hidden deep in blood and darkness appeared. As he turned around suddenly, a pair of blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan eyes shot out a ferocious and terrifying light!

His body trembled instantly, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Shut up!"

Sasuke Uchiha finally lost his temper and yelled fiercely at Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, and the other girls.

"Sasuke-kun..."

Sakura Haruno and the others were startled. Seeing the terrifying expression on his face, they didn't dare to ask any further questions and could only retreat dejectedly.

"Sakura, what happened to Sasuke...?"

Yamanaka Ino, her face pale, asked with concern.

"How would I know? Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Don't forget we're rivals now!"

Yamanaka Ino made a face at her.

"You're doomed! Broad forehead!"

"Well Boar!"

Sasuke Uchiha glared at these people with some annoyance, and then...

He himself immediately began cultivating.

"Huh? Sasuke-kun has started training too!"

"Why does someone who's clearly a genius need to work so hard?"

"Or is it because of Naruto...?"

"No, no way. Sasuke is so strong, how could he be affected by someone like Naruto?"

"Exactly! The two are worlds apart!"

Uchiha Sasuke ignored these people and immediately immersed himself in his training.

Naruto, hearing the commotion, couldn't help but glance over. Seeing Sasuke's actions, he widened his eyes in surprise…

"That bastard Sasuke has started training too?"

"Ha, could it be that seeing how hard I'm working, they're afraid I'll catch up to them?!"

"That must be it!"

[Warning, countdown to the Lightning Release baptism: 5...4...3...]

"Ahhh! You don't need to remind me! If that bastard Sasuke is working this hard, I definitely have to work ten times, no, a hundred times harder than him!"

Naruto immediately entered training mode again.

The two men faced each other from a distance, not uttering a single word, yet their competition was fierce...

In an instant, the entire classroom felt this inexplicably oppressive yet fervent atmosphere.

It was as if intense, scorching electricity shot out from Naruto and Sasuke, violently intertwining and colliding...

……

I endured eight classes a day, plus every break between classes, feeling like an eternity.

Naruto finally got to leave school.

But he did not get a rest.

[Host detected is on their way home. The journey provides an opportunity to train your physical strength. Please return home using weighted frog jumps!]

Naruto: "...Frog, frog jump?"

"Still weighted frog jumps?!"

"forgive me!"

"I really can't go on anymore..."

[Lightning Release baptism, countdown 5...4...3...]

"Aaaaaah, I'll jump! I'll jump, okay?!"

Naruto had no choice but to stuff his textbooks and practice tools into his backpack, sling them over his back, in a posture of heroic sacrifice and dying a martyr's death...

He squatted down!

"Ok?"

Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and all the other teachers and students of the Ninja Academy stared in disbelief at Naruto's direction...

So, what exactly is going on with that guy?

Has he completely gone mad?

What the hell are you talking about...?

Only Teacher Iruka, watching this scene, wore a smile of immense satisfaction.

"Naruto... it's good to work hard, but don't overdo it..."

the other side.

Watching Naruto's weighted frog jumps gradually disappear into the distance, a boy with a watermelon-shaped haircut and thick eyebrows in front of the classroom a year ahead of them couldn't help but have his eyes light up and clench his fists tightly!

at the same time.

A short-haired girl with white eyes is silently gazing at Naruto's back, her hands clasped in prayer for him.

"Naruto-kun... go for it..."

Chapter 5: Top-Tier Combat Power! Naruto, who grew up drinking healthy milk!

"501, 502, 503..."

Naruto carried his backpack, struggling to move forward as if he were squeezing out the last bit of strength from his body.

He was already drenched in sweat, and his legs felt completely numb.

Exhausted from the ninja academy, suffering both mental and physical torment, he now has to carry heavy loads and do frog jumps home after finally getting out of school!

I, Naruto, am truly bearing a burden far beyond my years!

He cursed inwardly, but still dared not slack off in the slightest.

That "baptism of lightning" was just too exciting...

Once you've experienced it, you'll never want to go through it again...
