While Uchiha Yue was diligently training, Tsunade never emphasized the importance of the Chunin Ninja Exams because Tsunade to bear too much pressure. It's important to know that information about Uchiha Yue has already leaked to other ninja villages, and some even know he'll participate in the next Konoha Chunin Ninja Exams. Therefore, when Uchiha Yue holds the next Chunin Ninja Exams, other villages will definitely send their rising stars to stop Uchiha Yue, precisely to stifle such a talented young ninja from Konoha.

Moreover, the pressure that Uchiha Yue would face in the Chunin Ninja Exams wasn't just the pressure of being targeted by other ninja villages. Ninjas like Tsunade are well aware of the importance of the Chunin Ninja Exams. After all, the Chunin Ninja Exams are not only an exam to select Chunin various ninja villages, but also a stage to showcase the strength of each village to the world.

During the Chunin Ninja Exams finals, various countries send high-ranking officials to observe Chunin Ninja Exams competition and assess the potential of each village's new generation of ninja. If Uchiha Yue performs exceptionally well in the Chunin Ninja Exams finals, Konoha's reputation among the nations will rise significantly, and the Konoha may even receive more requests for assistance. However, if Uchiha Yue fails to shine in the Chunin Ninja Exams, not only will Konoha's reputation among the nations decline, but the Uchiha Clan's prestige in the Shinobi World may also suffer.

Therefore, don't underestimate Uchiha Yue just because he's only Genin at this stage; he carries a lot of responsibility.

To alleviate the pressure on Uchiha Tsukuru, Tsunade rarely emphasized the importance of the Chunin Exams whenever he was training. However, even if Tsunade didn't understand the importance of the Chunin Exams, did Uchiha Tsukuru truly not understand just how important the Chunin Exams were?

Undoubtedly, Uchiha Yue already had his own ideas in mind; he was preparing to make a name for himself in the Chunin Ninja Exams.

For Uchiha Yue, the Chunin Ninja Exams are his best stage to shine, so he has firmly resolved not to embarrass himself in Chunin Ninja Exams. Therefore, his training before the Chunin Ninja Exams is his preparation for Jonin Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue, and he must take it seriously.

Then, before the Chunin Ninja Exams officially began, Uchiha Yue completed his own training plan every day, as well as the training plans that Tsunade had made for him. Moreover, whenever Tsunade had free time, Uchiha Yue would seek her personal Tsunade in his training. During these guidance sessions, Uchiha Yue repeatedly reflected on his own shortcomings and gradually improved his strength.

Currently, Uchiha Yue's weakness lies in his flexibility. This is likely due to Tsunade's insufficient preparation during his Uchiha Yue, resulting in his current lack of flexibility. However, just as Uchiha Yue Tsunade became aware of this deficiency, Tsunade prepared Uchiha Yue programs to improve his flexibility.

However, training physical flexibility is far more difficult than training physical strength.

Therefore, it will still be somewhat difficult for Uchiha Yue to complete the training of physical flexibility in a short period of time.

However, the difficulties during training were nothing to Uchiha Yue. He believed that as long as he trained diligently, he would always find a way to overcome them.

After completing his flexibility training, Uchiha Yue was personally instructed by Tsunade. The training method was no different from before; Tsunade again instructed Uchiha Yue not to use Chakra, but only his basic Taijutsu. However, this time Uchiha Yue's flexibility had improved significantly, and because Tsunade Uchiha Yue times, developing a strong combat awareness, he managed to hold his Tsunade for a full two hundred rounds without defeat, which slightly surprised Uchiha Yue Tsunade.

Immediately afterwards...

After the fight ended, Tsunade summoned Uchiha Yue to her side, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. She said, "Yue, your training is progressing very well. You've entered a stage of steady growth in strength. Now, you just need to maintain your training, and your strength will increase little by little. When the Chunin Ninja Exams begin, you'll definitely qualify for Chunin, and you might even win the championship!"

"If I manage to win the Chunin Ninja Exams this year, it will all be thanks to your guidance, Master!"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Yue also smiled and said, "But, Master, do I really not need to increase my training intensity right now? I always feel that if I increase the intensity of my training, my strength will improve even faster. After all, there are many enemies who will be targeting me in the Chunin Ninja Exams, and if I can increase my strength, my chances of winning will be much better."

"No, Yue, you can no longer increase the intensity of your cultivation."

Just as Uchiha Yue was about to say this, Tsunade shook her head solemnly and said, "Yue, your current training intensity is already the limit you can reach. You should understand the meaning of 'forcing growth.' If you increase the intensity of your training further, it is very likely to lead to an unstable foundation. Although it may greatly increase your strength in a short period of time, it will not help your future growth. Now, you just need to complete the training plan I have made for you, and also complete the training plan you have made yourself."

"And..."

With that, Tsunade took a deep breath and continued, "Furthermore, from now on, you only need to work three hours a day at the Ninja Hospital. That means you only need to practice Medical Ninjutsu for three hours each day, and spend the rest of your time training and resting. Remember, you must balance work and rest when you train. Recently, when I was treating your internal injuries and hidden ailments, I discovered that you have too many hidden problems and ailments. If you don't take care of yourself, there's a good chance that something will go wrong."

"Yes, I understand, Master."

As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, Uchiha Yue nodded heavily, clearly having taken Tsunade words to heart.

For the sake of temporary glory, Uchiha Yue was unwilling to sacrifice his future potential for advancement; he was determined not to do something so self-destructive.

Therefore, after Tsunade reminded Uchiha Yue this time, Uchiha Yue paid attention to balancing work and rest in his training and took great care of his body. During the days when Uchiha Yue was training hard, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Konoha Year 9 had quietly passed, and Konoha Year 40 had arrived.

Also in the early spring of Konoha year 40, Uchiha Yue celebrated his sixth birthday and was about to face the very important Chunin Ninja Exams!
