The "Prodigy" talent must be synthesized!

  With the [Student] talent's 100% focus boost, completing 100 hours of concentrated study was achievable—even if it took 100 days at one hour daily.

  "If it really takes me 100 days, I'm hopeless..."

  Setting aside the thought, Hoshita Shūichi grabbed his arm clock, set a timer, and unrolled his father's ninja scroll.

  Previously, he'd only skimmed it. Now, with [Student] active, he immersed himself completely.

  The scroll's contents were extensive—clearly added to over time. It covered:

  Chakra control

  Shurikenjutsu

  Academy three techniques

  Mission protocols

  Detailed notes on two fire-style jutsu:

  Fire Release: Fme Bullet

  Fire Release: Dragon Fme Technique

  While thorough, Shūichi quickly noticed his father's chakra exercises paled compared to Yakushi Nonō's methods.

  Not surprising—an elite medic-nin's knowledge surpasses a Chunin's.

  Still, he found valuable insights.

  4:00 PM

  The arm buzzed. Shūichi surfaced from his trance-like focus.

  One word: Bliss.

  Two words: Utter exhaustion.

  His mind was fried; his body felt drained. Stumbling to the kitchen, he devoured leftovers like a starved animal.

  "Can't sustain peak focus for long... Two hours wrecked me," he mused between bites. "My body's still too weak."

  Packing two bentos and saline bottles, he headed out to meet Might Gai for evening training.

  Tree-circuit sprints

  Handstand ps

  Push-ups

  Lateral jumps

  Strike drills

  Sparring

  Colpsing on the grass under starlight, both boys gasped for air.

  "As expected of my eternal rival!" Gai grinned.

  Shūichi internally scoffed: "That title belongs to Kakashi..."

  Outwardly, he pyed along: "Hard work never betrays you. I won't fall behind!"

  But let's be real—99% effort means nothing without that 1% talent, he thought. Hence why I need every talent I can unlock.

  How else can I compete with Kakashi's genius, outmaneuver Danzo, or face Uchiha and Otsutsuki cheaters?

  8:00 PM - Post-Training Ritual

  Scarfed down three bentos (Gai licked his clean)

  Bath + undry

  Prepped midnight snacks

  Evening study session (another 3 hours)

  By 11 PM, he staggered from his desk, wolfed down food, then paced while mentally reviewing scroll contents.

  "My memory's sharper than my past life... Time to build a Memory Pace."

  Whether from reincarnation or this world's nature, enhanced recall was vital—especially against:

  Genjutsu

  Cursed seals

  Barrier techniques

  At midnight, he fell asleep instantly.

  April 2nd - First Day of Css5:00 AM: Wake-up → jog → grocery run → breakfast prep8:00 AM: Arrived at Cssroom 1-A early

  While constructing his Memory Pace, the room gradually filled with:

  Elites: Kakashi, Ino-Shika-Chō trio

  Cn heirs: Hyūga, Uchiha (Obito arrived te, per usual)

  Future legends: Might Gai, Shizune (So Tsunade's still in Konoha...)

  Their homeroom teacher, Kōzai Murakumo (green fk jacket, stern vibe), announced: "Follow me to collect textbooks."
