The curriculum at the Ninja Academy was divided into three semesters:
Early April to Late June, Early August to Late October, and Early December to Late February.
Three months of classes followed by one month of vacation.
That was actually quite humane; they knew how to take care of the students…
It had been two months since Asahi became a student at the Ninja Academy.
Time hadn’t been long, but it certainly wasn’t short either.
During these two months, Asahi never wasted a moment.
With his outstanding talent, he ranked first in every subject.
His reputation as a genius had already spread throughout the academy.
Even older students knew there was someone special in the new intake.
Well, it wasn’t just because he was a genius…
there was another reason…
Either way, Asahi’s existence was now known to everyone at the Ninja Academy…
Morning.
Backyard of the Yūhi household.
Asahi and Kurenai were both practicing basic taijutsu.
After nearly a month of training, Asahi had completely mastered the basics.
His punches were powerful and swift, his movements smooth and fluid.
It was a pleasure to watch.
In terms of pure fundamentals and proficiency, he was arguably no worse than Shinku Yūhi, a Jōnin.
As for Kurenai, while her movements weren’t as effortless as Asahi’s, they were precise and error-free, showing clear progress.
“Huff…” After finishing a set, Kurenai plopped down on the ground.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a sigh, looking like a little adult.
“So tired!”
She looked at Asahi, who was still going at it, and pouted.
“Asahi, aren’t you going to stop?
We’ll be late again!”
Over the past month, she had tried to keep up with his intensity, but she just couldn’t compete.
Someone who was more talented than her and worked harder than her?
It was exhausting just thinking about it.
She gave up.
She gave up!
She admitted defeat in everything.
Anyway, Asahi was her older brother.
It was only natural for an older brother to be stronger than his little sister.
“What kind of genius is this anyway?!”
“So what if he has Uzumaki clan blood?
Big deal!”
Asahi ate his breakfast, nodding casually at Shinku Yūhi’s warning.
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.
I’ll make sure their parents have no excuse to come complaining that I’m bullying their kids…”
“That’s not what I meant…” Shinku’s mouth twitched.
Was that really what he was worried about?
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.
“Fine.
Just…
be careful.”
As long as Asahi wasn’t having one of his weird episodes, he was usually reliable…
Just then, Kurenai glanced at Asahi and asked cautiously, “Asahi, Asahi!
If we get paired up, promise you’ll go easy on me, okay?
I really don’t want to cry in front of everyone…”
Asahi waved his hand dismissively.
“Relax, relax.
What are the odds?
There are dozens of students in class.”
“But what if we do?” Kurenai insisted, puffing out her cheeks.
“I don’t care!
You can’t make me cry!
I’m your cute little sister, remember?”
“Sure, sure, you’re the cutest.
Definitely my sister.” Asahi replied perfunctorily.
“Hmph!” Kurenai pouted and let out a small huff of dissatisfaction.
She didn’t like his attitude.
She made up her mind: If I draw Asahi, I’ll just do what we did last time and admit defeat immediately!
No way am I giving him the chance to beat me up!
After breakfast, the two slung their backpacks over their shoulders and headed for the Ninja Academy.
They arrived right on time, not late at all.
The moment they walked into the classroom…
Swish, swish, swish!
Countless eyes turned to look at Asahi and Kurenai…
Glares filled with resentment, anger, annoyance, and despair…
Asahi was used to these looks by now, but Kurenai wasn’t.
She could only force an awkward smile…
“Yo, everyone’s hard at work drilling, huh?” Asahi didn’t mind at all.
He waved cheerfully with a friendly smile.
“So diligent!
Keep it up, I believe in you guys!” Find the original chapter at g.com.
Why did everyone look at Asahi like that?
Well, you have to go back about two weeks to the last written exam.
Obito Uchiha, usually at the very bottom of the class, wasn’t last anymore.
Rin Nohara, who was average-good, had also improved significantly.
How did they improve so fast?
Because of “Study Drills”!
The word spread like wildfire—it was the best advertisement possible!
Many students in the class got curious and bought the exercise books from Asahi, hoping to boost their grades…
And then…
they put on the “Mask of Pain.” And they had brought this suffering upon themselves!
They could barely solve the first few questions, but the ones further on were completely beyond them.
It wasn’t just them; even their parents couldn’t solve them…
Only Asahi knew the answers.
But once you used up your two free “after-sales service” sessions, the bastard actually started charging money?!
They all felt like they had walked right into a trap…
Asuma Sarutobi, who had also bought a copy, refused to be ripped off.
When he couldn’t solve the problems, he asked his private tutor.
But the tutor was just as confused, putting on his own Mask of Pain…
Desperate, Asuma turned to his father, who was known for his vast knowledge.
None other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
And the result was…
Even the Hokage couldn’t solve those problems!!
Asuma was completely stunned…
The news that “Not even the Hokage can solve these questions” spread like wildfire.
Driven by curiosity, students from other grades and other classes came to buy the books from Asahi…
And naturally, they all ended up wearing the Mask of Pain.
Eventually, the matter got so big that it caught the attention of the Academy administration.
After some discussion, the Academy decided to buy the “copyright” for the books and the solution methods from Asahi.
They printed them into official textbooks for every student to study…
Now, from first graders all the way up to sixth graders, no one was spared.
Everyone suffered under the tyranny of “Study Drills”…
And it was all Asahi’s fault.
If he hadn’t created these stupid books, they wouldn’t be going through this torture!
Some of them looked at him like they wanted to tear him apart with their bare eyes…
