The Ninja Academy's curriculum is 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.
In this regard, it was quite humane and showed consideration for the students.
Two months had passed since Seiryū became a student at the Ninja Academy. This period was neither particularly long nor particularly short.
During these two months, Seiryū did not waste any time.
With his outstanding talent, he ranked first in every subject.
His reputation as a genius had already spread throughout the Ninja Academy.
Even senior students knew about this new student.
Of course, it was not only because of Seiryū's genius. There was another reason as well.
In short, Seiryū's existence was well known throughout the entire Ninja Academy.
Early in the morning.
In the Yūhi family backyard.
Seiryū and Kurenai were practicing basic taijutsu together.
After nearly a month of training, Seiryū had completely mastered basic taijutsu.
His punches were powerful, and his movements were smooth and fluid, making them pleasing to watch.
Judging purely by proficiency in basic taijutsu, he might not even be inferior to Yuhi Shinku, a Jōnin.
As for Kurenai, although her movements were not as fluid as Seiryū's, they were precise and effective.
"Hoo…"
After completing a round of basic taijutsu practice, Kurenai sat down on the ground.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her small hand and sighed like a little adult. "So tired."
She looked at Seiryū, who was still practicing seriously beside her, and pouted. "Seiryū, aren't you going to stop? Don't end up being late again."
Over the past month, she had tried to compete with Seiryū in diligence, but she could not keep up at all.
His talent was stronger than hers, and he worked harder than her.
How could someone like this exist?
She was exhausted.
No more competing. No more competing.
She admitted defeat in every aspect.
Anyway, Seiryū was her older brother. It was normal for an older brother to be stronger than his younger sister.
As long as she was not left too far behind, that was enough.
Seiryū did not stop moving and spoke while continuing his practice. "I'm just finishing the last set. You go take a shower first. You smell sweaty."
Kurenai sniffed herself and pouted. "I don't smell. I smell nice."
She did not continue arguing and instead trotted off to take a shower.
After smoothly completing his set of "military taijutsu," Seiryū drew his fists back, stood still, and slowly exhaled a long breath.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and felt refreshed. "This feeling of sweating freely is really refreshing."
The sense of comfort after exercise was excellent, and Seiryū had grown fond of it.
His recovery ability was extremely strong. No matter how much he trained, all fatigue disappeared after a night's sleep.
This was the foundation that allowed him to train so hard.
Effort naturally brought results.
Seiryū had already perfected the Monster Strength Fist technique.
As he had expected, the issue was indeed related to physical fitness and taijutsu.
Meeting the physical requirements, mastering the timing of striking at the moment of impact, and unleashing chakra explosively. Combining these three allowed him to fully grasp the Monster Strength Fist.
However, it could not be used repeatedly, as the burden on his body was still quite heavy.
His young age and undeveloped body meant this could not be resolved in a short time.
"Today should be a practical combat class. I should complete the task. The Kidō involving elemental nature still makes me curious."
Muttering to himself, Seiryū ended his training and returned indoors.
He took a shower.
During breakfast.
At the dining table, Shinku spoke seriously to Seiryū. "The Ninja Academy seems to have a practical combat class today. Seiryū, be careful when you strike. Don't injure your classmates."
He had never seen talent like Seiryū's.
Only two months had passed.
Seiryū had gone from someone who did not even have chakra to his current level.
Through his own exploration and training, he had perfected a chakra application technique similar to Lady Tsunade's Monster Strength Fist.
He had even saved on the tuition fees of learning directly from Lady Tsunade.
Of course, Seiryū was not lacking money now.
In Shinku's opinion, even a Genin who had graduated from the Ninja Academy probably could not withstand one punch from Seiryū.
Was having Uzumaki clan blood really that amazing?
It seemed that it truly was.
Seiryū ate his breakfast and nodded casually. "Don't worry. I know my limits. I won't give their parents a reason to come knocking and say I bullied their kids."
"That's not what I meant…" Shinku's mouth twitched.
Was that really what he meant?
In the end, he could only say helplessly, "Never mind. As long as you know what you're doing."
As long as Seiryū did not act recklessly, he was reliable.
At that moment, Kurenai glanced at Seiryū and said cautiously, "Seiryū, Seiryū, if I get picked by lottery, remember to go easy on me. I don't want to cry in front of my classmates."
Seiryū waved his hand. "Relax. Relax. How likely is it to draw you? There are dozens of students in the class."
Kurenai said unhappily, "What if I really do get picked? I don't care. You're not allowed to make me cry. I'm your cute little sister."
Seiryū replied perfunctorily, "Alright, you're the cutest. Truly my sister."
"Hmph."
Kurenai let out a small huff, clearly dissatisfied with his attitude.
She thought to herself that if she really were matched against Seiryū, she would immediately surrender, just like that previous bet.
She would not give him the chance to make her cry.
After breakfast, the two of them put on their small backpacks and headed to the Ninja Academy.
They arrived right on time.
As soon as they entered the classroom, countless gazes instantly turned toward Seiryū and Kurenai.
Those looks were filled with resentment, indignation, displeasure, grief, and other emotions.
Seiryū was already used to it, but Kurenai was not yet accustomed and could only force a smile.
"Yo, everyone's doing practice problems?" Seiryū waved with a bright smile, completely unfazed. "You're all working hard. Keep it up. I have high hopes for you."
Why were the students looking at Seiryū like this?
That went back to a written exam from more than ten days ago.
Uchiha Obito, who was always at the bottom, was no longer last. Rin, whose grades had been average to above average, had also improved noticeably.
Why had they improved so quickly?
Because of practice problems.
It was a crushing blow.
Many students in the class became curious and bought problem sets from Seiryū, hoping to improve their grades through practice.
Then came the suffering.
They could barely handle the initial questions, but the later ones were completely beyond their ability.
The key point was that it was not just them. Even their parents could not solve them.
Only Seiryū knew the solutions, but after the two free after sales explanations, he actually started charging.
Everyone felt like they had fallen into Seiryū's trap.
Sarutobi Asuma, who had also bought a set, refused to accept this quietly. He consulted his private tutor about the unsolved problems.
The tutor was just as confused, wearing the same pained expression.
Left with no choice, Asuma went to his knowledgeable father.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The result was shocking.
Even the Hokage could not solve those problems.
Asuma was stunned.
The news that even the Hokage could not solve them spread rapidly.
Driven by curiosity, even students from other grades and classes came to Seiryū to buy problem sets.
Naturally, they all ended up suffering as well.
Eventually, the situation grew so widespread that it alarmed the Ninja Academy's leadership.
After discussion, the Academy decided to purchase the rights to Seiryū's problem sets and solution methods, printing them as textbooks for all Ninja Academy students.
From first years to sixth years, no one was spared.
Everyone suffered under the torment of practice problems.
The source of all this suffering was Seiryū.
If he had not created those problem sets, why would they have to endure this?
Some people wished they could tear Seiryū apart with their eyes alone.
