The obstacle course was a total disaster. As a result, most of the children were seriously injured but passed the trials with all efforts exerted to the maximum level.
Seeing the grim situation, Yoichi's face went cold. Even though these admirable children prevailed, the injuries they suffered from the trials were tragic.
Furthermore, if these children couldn't recover fast enough, these ailments would keep piling up one after another, eventually resulting in death from multiple complications.
Like blood loss and overexhaustion, these afflictions would evidently be taxing on their fragile bodies, a sight no one would like to experience.
Yoichi felt helpless. Sure, he was selfish and cold to strangers but he couldn't help himself to have some sympathy for the rest of the children.
Suddenly, Yoichi gradually understood Genji's radiant optimism, missing his bright light despite that he was absolutely opposite of his buddy like the sun and the moon.
Then, he took a deep breath and cleared his mind of the distractions, his motto shall move on along with the unceasing revolution of the world.
Afterwards, the 100 children were accompanied to the dining room for lunch, a hearty meal relatively high in nutrients for their feeble physiques.
With that being said, Yoichi took a 3-person-sized lunch for himself and ate alongside Haruhiko and Hikari, who were exhausted from top to bottom.
"Are you alright, Hikari? You are sweating a lot." Yoichi noticed Hikari's pale face and asked about her status.
"No... I'm just tired from the exhausting trials. I'll be fine with a little bit of rest later..." Hikari's hands frequently waved, assuring her friend's concern.
Upon hearing her, Yoichi was settled before glancing at Haruhiko with a suspicious gaze.
"What's with that look? I am fine! See this? I'm completely alright!" Haruhiko flexed his tiny arms with a proud expression.
Therefore, Yoichi ate without any more questions. Being attentive to an individual's condition was always crucial since any kind of disease or illness could unexpectedly happen.
"Hey! Listen up!"
As the voice was heard, the children turned their heads to see Hideaki and intently perked their ears, awaiting the continuation of the announcement.
"From now on, all of you will have your instructors teach you children how to properly use Chakra and learn the basic techniques! So rest up and finish your meal in 30 minutes."
After that, Hideaki left but the shocking statement made them giddy and excited about the lessons.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We might learn some busted jutsu! I'm so excited!"
"Hahaha! All of the pain was gone once I heard that revelation! Thank you so much, Hideaki-sama!"
"Let's go! This lesson will gonna be so awesome!"
While the cheerful atmosphere skyrocketed, Yoichi began his deep thoughts. Learning jutsu was a good thing, after all, versatility was one of the initial options for him since he was born in the Naruto World.
However, learning jutsu required tons of effort and time in research, a specialty that would split his focus on the Martial Arts Proficiency.
'Perhaps I should learn the basic techniques. As a shinobi, these methods were significant and maybe I could put them in the proficiency panel. So why not?'
"I should seek some advice on the notes. That would surely help me answer my questions further." Yoichi mumbled.
"Aren't you a bit excited? This is gonna be our only shot at being able to become a shinobi!" Haruhiko shook Yoichi's shoulder, overly excited and hyped up.
Taking notice of his teammate's delightful emotions, Yoichi merely ate his food and finished the food in an instant.
In his mind, something was brewing behind the scenes.
Otherwise, Amegakure and higher-ups should be the saintly beings in the Shinobi World, a perfect example of its humanitarianism and generosity.
After that, Yoichi delved deeply into his consciousness and searched for a topic about Chakra, the Martial Ancestor's advice, and his thoughts on Chakra.
[Chakra, it was complicated as fuck! Unlike the Martial Arts where anything could go unga-bunga, this was a game-changer!]
[If you are a Martial Artist and trying to cultivate both things at the same time, just stop it. Obviously, it would cut your time practicing them both.]
[Furthermore, talent and genetics were the most important gears when you are cultivating Chakra. Talent to comprehend jutsu smoothly or refine Chakra fast. Genetics was even more absurd.]
[However, if you have these gears and you pursue Martial Arts, then it's fine. There are no downsides. In fact, it was even better for an individual with a Kekkai Genkai practice Martial Arts!]
[You know why? There is a part in the Martial Arts called the Marrow Blood Exchange Stage which refines blood purity back to his innate Qi or spiritual energy! Evidence? The Six Path Sage!]
Seeing the shocking statement, Yoichi's pupils dilated in shock.
"Then how the fuck does this Martial Ancestor and Six Paths Sage die? He is a reincarnated yet there's someone who could kill him even with cheats?!"
With his terrifying speculations, Yoichi read the chapter once again for clarification on his conjecture.
[But the result was negligible. Instead of boosting his inherent abilities like Susanoō, his overall physique could be compared to an Ōtsutsuki Member!]
[Unfortunately, he started too late! In the age of the 50s, Qi-Blood won't be able to sustain the body from factors such as the natural decay of the soul! If he began when he was a little bit younger, he could stand toe to toe against me!]
That's why Martial Arts must be practiced at a young age. The old and rotten figure pales in comparison to the active and vigorous growing bodies of the youth.
"Shit, there's still no information on how he died. Based on the writings, the Six Paths Sage died from old age similarly to the real story..."
Still, Yoichi slowly absorbed the knowledge into his mind and decided to practice the basic techniques.
With information rushing through his brain, Yoichi went back to reality with some intriguing discoveries.
'So I can purify my bloodline to a Mangekyō? No! Marrow Blood Exchange was on the Innate Realm and still too far for me. It's better not to stray far. One step at a time.'
Yoichi thought as the rest of the children fell in line for the exciting lessons of their lives.

____________
I added the Six Paths Sage as a butterfly effect for the Martial Ancestor's actions. I don't even know. I mean Six Paths Sage died so is it really a butterfly effect? Also, I made the bloodline purification for the other characters in Konoha. It's like world-building I suppose.
Holy fuck, T1 win!
Thanks for reading the chapters and bookmarking the novel. See ya! XDD!
