Uzumaki Naruto continued to practice the Chakra Refining Technique, enduring until midnight before finally hearing the system's prompt...
"Today's Chakra Refining Technique practice for eight hours is complete."
"Today's Chakra increase: 9 points. Current total Chakra: 23 points."
Whoosh—
Naruto collapsed onto the bed, too exhausted to even complain.
"Only 23 points?"
Hearing the system's prompt, Naruto said with a look of despair.
"The host is just a Ninja Academy student; 23 points of Chakra is already quite excellent."
"Ordinary Ninja Academy students only have around 10 points of Chakra."
"A Genin at most has 100 points."
"A Chunin has hundreds to a thousand points."
"Only a Jonin can break above a thousand points."
"Of course, this is just the most common state; exceptionally talented individuals are not included in this category."
Naruto's heart stirred.
So that's how it is... My 23 points of Chakra already surpass most Ninja Academy students!
This could be considered my talent, right?!
"Today's host practice has concluded successfully."

...This data, even a dog would shake its head at.
"Hmm..."
"Besides my Chakra being a bit higher than others, only Chakra Refining Technique passed..."
"And that was only because the system forced me to improve it today."
"It seems I really am a Diao Che Wei!"
Just then.
"Good sleep is the foundation of everything. Host, please enter sleep mode immediately, otherwise, you will receive the baptism of Lightning Release!"
Naruto: "..."
"Ahhh! How can I possibly sleep when I keep thinking I'm going to get electrocuted!"
"At least be reasonable!"
"Host, please at least enter a state of preparing for sleep, stop overthinking, and clear your mind..."
Well, this was at least more reasonable than being directly forced to sleep... Naruto immediately closed his eyes, forcing himself to think of nothing.
And indeed, after a day of exhaustion, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Naruto slept more soundly than ever before.
However, he would occasionally shiver violently, as if he was dreaming of the baptism of Lightning Release... The next morning.
Exactly six o'clock.
The system's voice, comparable to an alarm clock, rang out precisely in Naruto's mind.
"Sleep has reached six hours. Host, please get up immediately and prepare to begin today's training!"
Naruto: "...Ah, only six o'clock?"
"I beg you, just let me sleep a little longer..."
"Warning! Countdown to the baptism of Lightning Release..."
"...I'm awake, I'm awake!"
Naruto could only helplessly rub his sleepy eyes, stretch a big yawn, throw back his covers, and get out of bed.
"Host, please wash up immediately, prepare a nutritious and balanced breakfast, and finish eating it within half an hour!"
Naruto: "..."
He had already learned his lesson and no longer dared to challenge Tong Zi Ge, immediately complying obediently.
Fortunately, he had prepared everything last night and had some experience, so he wasn't as flustered.
After a hurried meal, he finally completed everything within half an hour.
Naruto was also ready to head to the Ninja Academy to start a new day of learning.
"A new day, a new beginning."
"Today is also a day full of hope."
"Host, please continue to work hard and persevere. After the first day's assessment, a small goal has been set for the host..."
"Please achieve a top ten ranking among fifty people in the class assessment one month from now."
"If you fail, you will face a small punishment!"
Naruto almost choked to death.
"Top... top ten?!"
"You might as well just electrocute me to death!"
"How is that even possible, you idiot!"
Chapter 8: A Girl's Blush is Better Than Everything
It was no wonder Naruto burst out.
To go from the Diao Che Wei of the class to a top ten ranking in one month... it was simply a pipe dream!
But the system remained as cold as ever.
"Detected that it is time for the host to go to school. Please proceed to the Ninja Academy immediately, by walking on your hands!"
Naruto: "..."
"Frog jumps with weights after school, walking on hands to school, right?"
"You're quite gentle, aren't you? Afraid my legs can't take it, so you're tormenting my arms instead, right?!"
Although he was complaining wildly in his heart, he had no choice but to obey.
He suddenly did a headstand, walking on his hands, gritting his teeth as he headed towards the Ninja Academy.
"Hmph, isn't it just walking on my hands?"
"What's the big deal!"
"This level of difficulty is nothing to me, who wants to become Hokage!"
"Host's method of walking on hands is incorrect. Please immediately switch to walking on one hand!"
Naruto: "...Huh?!"
"Warning! Countdown to the baptism of Lightning Release..."
"...I'll switch, I'll switch right away!"
Naruto gritted his teeth, painstakingly shifting his body's center of gravity to one side, then cautiously lifting one hand, wobbling and trembling...
Although he could barely maintain balance, wanting to walk on one hand all the way to the Ninja Academy was another matter entirely...
Bang—
Bang!
Such strange behavior naturally once again drew widespread discussion. Pedestrians couldn't help but point and retreat three paces.
"That kid really is crazy..."
"What is he doing? Trying to attract attention this way?"
"Hmph, he really is a strange fellow!"
Naruto had no mind to pay attention to the passersby's chatter at this moment.
His face was flushed crimson, his teeth bared, as he concentrated all his mental and physical energy on his right arm, exerting all his strength to keep from falling.
Sweat continuously dripped down.
Falling onto the soil of Konoha Village...
Whoosh—
He finally reached the Ninja Academy.
Naruto no longer cared about the strange looks from the crowd.
He stood up again, feeling as if his entire right arm no longer belonged to him.
"Host has completed the one-handed handstand walk to the Ninja Academy training for the first time. Stamina +1."
