The Daily Grind of Training

Two months before the Chunin Ninja Exams, Xingye began his grueling training.

Every morning at five, Xingye got up and started his morning exercises.

First came Taijutsu training.

In the Uchiha Clan Compound's training grounds, Xingye practiced all kinds of Taijutsu moves.

Chidori Current, Body Flicker Technique, Lightning Release Armor—he wielded every Taijutsu skill with consummate ease.

His Otsutsuki Bloodline made his Taijutsu naturally far superior to that of ordinary people. With the system's enhancements on top of that, Xingye had now reached the peak of Kage Level in Taijutsu.

But Xingye wasn't satisfied.

"Taijutsu is the foundation of a shinobi's combat. No matter how powerful a ninjutsu is, it needs Taijutsu to support it." Xingye thought to himself. "I want to make Taijutsu my trump card."

The morning was for ninjutsu training.

At the clan's training grounds, Xingye practiced ninjutsu of all kinds of elements.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, Wind Release: Wind Blade, Lightning Release: Chidori—he wielded every technique with ease.

His all-nature chakra gave him a great affinity for ninjutsu of every element, and with his super-Kage-level learning speed, Xingye quickly brought all kinds of ninjutsu up to mastery.

"At the Chunin Ninja Exams, I'll show off the power of ninjutsu from multiple elements." Xingye thought to himself. "I'll make everyone marvel at my versatility."

The afternoon was for tactical training.

Xingye would simulate various opponents and devise appropriate tactics.

Against a Taijutsu specialist, he would use ninjutsu and genjutsu to counter them.

Against a ninjutsu specialist, he would use Taijutsu and Perception to suppress them.

Against a genjutsu specialist, he would use the Sharingan and Byakugan to break their techniques.

"The Chunin Ninja Exams aren't just a contest of strength, but also a test of wits." Xingye thought to himself. "I'll show tactical skill beyond my peers."

The evening was for theoretical study.

Xingye read books on all kinds of ninjutsu and studied the characteristics and tactics of other ninja villages.

Sunagakure's Puppet Technique, Iwagakure's Earth Release, Kirigakure's assassination techniques, Kumogakure's Lightning Release—Xingye studied every ninjutsu style inside and out.

"Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Xingye thought to himself. "Only by understanding my opponents can I devise the most effective tactics."

Besides training on his own, Xingye also sparred with Itachi.

Itachi had already awakened the Sharingan and was on the verge of awakening the Mangekyo.

Sparring with Itachi steadily improved Xingye's combat experience.

"Itachi, your Sharingan is getting stronger and stronger," Xingye said.

"I'm still not as good as you, Brother," Itachi replied modestly.

"You're too modest." Xingye smiled. "With your talent, you'll surpass me before long."

Itachi shook his head.

"Brother, you'll always be the one I look up to."

Xingye patted Itachi on the shoulder.

"Let's work hard together and bring glory back to the Uchiha Clan."

A look of determination flashed in Itachi's eyes.

Besides Itachi, Xingye also sparred with Sasuke.

Though Sasuke was only nine years old, he had already reached the peak of Genin and was on the verge of awakening his two-Tomoe Sharingan.

Sparring with Sasuke let Xingye see how much he had grown.

"Xingye, you're way too strong," Sasuke said, frustrated.

"You're no slouch either," Xingye said. "Just keep working hard, and you'll get stronger too."

Sasuke clenched his fists.

"I'll definitely surpass you!"

Xingye smiled.

"I'll be waiting for that day."

Besides sparring, Xingye also trained the members of the special class.

With Xingye's guidance, Sasuke, Hinata, Kiba, Shino, and Kurenai had all made great progress.

"Xingye, thank you for teaching us," Hinata said shyly.

"It's just what classmates do for each other." Xingye smiled. "Let's work hard together."

Hinata's cheeks flushed, and her eyes shone with admiration.

Sasuke didn't say it aloud, but he deeply respected Xingye.

"Xingye is really too strong..." Sasuke thought to himself. "I have to catch up to him!"

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The day before the Chunin Ninja Exams, Xingye stood in the Uchiha Clan Compound's training grounds, gazing at the distant Hokage Building.

"Everything's ready. Now it's time for the real stage." Xingye thought to himself. "At the Chunin Ninja Exams, I'll make the entire Shinobi World remember my name."
