In the days at the Konoha Ninja Academy, Amada gradually adapted to this unique rhythm of learning.

In class, Amada strove to learn the knowledge he could understand.

Whenever the teacher explained basic practical techniques, he would listen with rapt attention.

The school did teach a few of the simplest general ninjutsu: the Transformation Technique, the Substitution Technique, and the Clone Technique.

Amada paid extra attention to these three general ninjutsu.

It had to be said that Konoha's ninja education had some substance; these three general techniques were simple and practical.

Furthermore, the Transformation Technique and Clone Technique were for training chakra control, while the Substitution Technique was for training reaction speed and hand seal speed; these three had to be learned.

However, when it came to those complex theoretical courses, Amada felt somewhat out of his depth.

Whenever the teacher stood on the podium, rambling on about profound and complex tactical strategies, it would make him drowsy.

Surrounding classmates would occasionally cast strange looks, and the teacher would helplessly shake his head, but he didn't care in the slightest.

In his view, rather than wasting time on these incomprehensible courses, it was better to focus his energy on the skills he could master.

Just like that, while Amada worked hard at the ninja academy to learn the knowledge he could absorb, he also used his spare time to diligently study the ninjutsu left behind by his parents.

At the Konoha Ninja Academy, Amada's reputation as a "tail-ender" grew increasingly loud; when classmates chatted during breaks, they would mention from time to time the scene of him sleeping soundly in class, and when the teacher graded assignments, he would often shake his head and sigh at his abysmal grades.

But Amada didn't care about any of this, because he knew that the path he was pursuing was different from others.

In his eyes, this Lottery System was like a mysterious treasury containing endless treasures;

as long as he patiently accumulated lottery chances, he would surely be able to draw something that could change his fate and allow him to soar.

On this day, sunlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.

Amada came alone to a quiet forest on the edge of the village; it was rarely visited and was an excellent place for him to train.

Today, his goal was to improve his chakra control, and the method he adopted

was exactly what he had seen Kakashi teach Naruto in the anime from his past life—tree climbing.

Amada stood before a thick, sturdy tree, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes, feeling the flow of chakra within his body.

He focused all his attention on guiding chakra to the soles of his feet, attempting to distribute the chakra evenly to form a powerful adhesive force.

When he felt the chakra was sufficiently condensed, he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of nervousness and anticipation showing in his gaze.

He carefully lifted his foot and slowly stepped onto the tree trunk.

At first, the chakra on the soles of his feet was not very stable; his body swayed slightly, and he nearly slipped off.

But he quickly adjusted his state, concentrated his mind, and stabilized his chakra output.

Just like that, he climbed upward step by step, each step taken with extreme difficulty.

As the height increased, the difficulty grew greater as well.

The wind blew gently, causing the branches to sway, making his climb even more dangerous.

Sweat continuously seeped from his forehead and slid down his cheeks, but he gritted his teeth and never gave up.

After several days of arduous training, he was now able to climb to the middle of the tree, but there was still a significant distance to the top.

Under that large tree, Amada stopped his climb, gasping for breath.

He slowly slid down from the trunk, his legs trembling slightly; this was the result of concentrating his energy on controlling chakra for a long time.

But his face was filled with joy; after these few days of grueling training, he clearly felt that his control over chakra had taken a qualitative leap.

With every climb, the condensation and maintenance of chakra at the soles of his feet became more effortless.

The improvement in chakra control was crucial for learning the genjutsu Fox Mind Technique.

This genjutsu had extremely high requirements for the precise manipulation of chakra, and the progress brought by the climbing training now gave him hope of learning this ninjutsu.

After the chakra training ended, Amada rested for a moment before throwing himself into physical training.

Physical fitness was equally paramount for a ninja.

Only by possessing good physical fitness could one maintain abundant energy and agile reaction speeds during prolonged battles.

In the process of training, Amada's thoughts drifted to the future.

It was currently the 43rd year of Konoha; the ninja academy of this era was very different from the future.

According to current practice, students generally had to graduate at the age of 8.

Once war breaks out, they must rush to the battlefield and face life and death head-on.

Amada is now nearly six years old, and at most, he has three years left before he must leave the Ninja Academy and throw himself into the cruel battlefield.

"Sigh, being sent to the battlefield at eight—Konoha really doesn't treat people like humans."

Amada sighed to himself while training.

Eight years old; in his past life, that was an age for acting spoiled in one's parents' arms, but here, one must pick up weapons and fight to protect the village.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Over this year, after countless attempts and failures, Amada could finally barely perform the Fox Mind Technique.

However, he still had a long way to go before truly mastering this illusion.

The speed at which he currently performed the Fox Mind Technique was simply too slow, making it easy for enemies to detect.

Moreover, even though the chakra consumption for this illusion was relatively low, for someone like him who was still just a student at the Ninja Academy, a single use would almost completely exhaust the chakra within his body.

But Amada was not discouraged by this; he understood that growth takes time and that improvements in strength do not happen overnight.

Today, Amada was exceptionally excited, his very gait light and brisk as he walked.

After a year of continuous ten-pulls, he had successfully accumulated seven green ten-pulls.

According to the system's explanation, green ten-pulls significantly increase the probability of obtaining items of blue quality or higher.

Originally, he had intended to save up until he had ten green ten-pulls before opening them, hoping to obtain better items.

But as time passed, the anticipation and desire in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he simply could not hold back any longer.

Therefore, he decided that today, he would use up all seven of these draw opportunities to see what he could get.

On the playground of the Ninja Academy, the students were lined up neatly, each person's face showing a mix of nervousness and anticipation, for today was the important shuriken test.

As the focal point of this test, Kakashi stood quietly in front of the throwing line, his gaze focused and calm.

He turned slightly to the side, adjusted his breathing, and swung his arm with speed and fluidity.

In an instant, the shuriken whistled through the air, flying precisely toward the bullseye.

With a few crisp "thwack" sounds, every single shuriken was firmly embedded in the center of the target.

The entire playground fell silent for a moment, followed by an eruption of enthusiastic exclamations.

"Kakashi is so cool!"

"As expected of a genius ninja; this strength is truly astonishing!"

Even the usually stern teacher could not help but nod slightly at this moment, a trace of imperceptible approval appearing on his face.

His gaze remained fixed on Kakashi as he thought to himself: This child will surely achieve great things in the future.
