Chapter 7
Naruto continued to practice 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."
Phew—
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 typically have around 10 points of Chakra."
"Genin typically have a maximum of 100 points."
"Chunin range from several hundred to a thousand points."
"Only Jonin can break above a thousand points."
"Of course, this is only the most common state; those with exceptional talent are not included in this category."
Naruto's heart stirred.
So that's how it is... Then his 23 points of Chakraalready surpassed most Ninja Academy students!
This could be considered his talent, right?!
"Today's host's training has successfully concluded."
"Current attributes are as follows..."

...Even a dog would shake its head at these stats.
"Hmm..."
"Aside from having more Chakra than others, only Chakra Refining Technique is passing..."
"And that was only because the system forced me to improve it today."
"It seems I really am a Loser!"
Just then.
"Good sleep is the foundation of everything. Please enter sleep state immediately, or you will be subjected to the baptism of Lightning Release!"
Naruto: "..."
"Ah ah ah! How can I possibly sleep when I keep thinking about getting electrocuted!"
"At least be reasonable!"
"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 forced to sleep directly... Naruto immediately closed his eyes, forcing himself not to think about anything.
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 give a sudden shiver, as if he was still 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 in Naruto's mind precisely on time.
"Sleep has reached six hours. 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 rub his sleepy eyes helplessly, stretch a big yawn, throw back the covers, and get out of bed.
"Please immediately wash up, prepare and eat a nutritious and balanced breakfast, with a time limit of half an hour!"
Naruto: "..."
He had already learned his lesson and dared not challenge Tong Zi Ge again, so he immediately complied obediently.
Fortunately, he had prepared everything last night and had some experience, so he was at least not as flustered.
After a quick gulping down, he finally completed everything within half an hour.
Naruto was also ready to head to the Ninja Academy to begin a new day of learning.
"A new day, a new beginning."
"Today is also a day full of hope."
"Please continue to work hard and persevere. After the first day's assessment, a first small goal has been set for the host..."
"Please achieve a top ten ranking out of 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 Outshines Everything
It was no wonder Naruto exploded.
To go from being the Loser of the class to a top ten student in just one month... it was simply a pipe dream!
But the system remained as cold as ever.
"Detected that the host's school time has arrived. Please proceed to the Ninja Academy immediately, by walking on your hands!"
Naruto: "..."
"Weighted frog jumps after school, walking on hands to school, right?"
"You're quite gentle, aren't you? Afraid my legs can't take it, so you've switched to tormenting my arms, right?!"
Although he was complaining wildly in his heart, he had no choice but to obey.
With a sudden headstand, he walked on his hands, gritting his teeth as he headed towards the Ninja Academy.
"Hmph, isn't it just walking on my hands?"
"What's so great about it!"
"This level is nothing to me, who wants to become Hokage!"
"The 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 center of gravity to one side, then cautiously lifting one hand, wobbling and trembling...
Although he could barely maintain balance, walking on one hand all the way to the Ninja Academy was another matter entirely...
Bang—
Bang!
Such strange behavior naturally once again sparked discussion among everyone; passersby 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 comments of others at this moment.
His face was flushed crimson, grimacing, as he focused all his mental and physical energy on his right arm, exerting all his strength just to keep from falling.
Sweat poured down incessantly.
Dripping onto the soil of Konoha Village... Phew—
He finally arrived at 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.
"The host has completed the training of walking on one hand to the Ninja Academy for the first time. Stamina +1."
