Footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door. Sarutobi Asuma quickly closed the system panel, and then the door was pushed open.
"Asuma, it's great that you're awake!"
The person who entered was a gentle woman in a kimono. It was the previous occupant's mother, Sarutobi Biwako.
"Mom... Mother!"
Sarutobi Asuma's voice was a little hoarse.
Calling a "stranger" "Mother" was difficult, but he had no choice.
"Does your head still hurt?"
Sarutobi Biwako knelt beside the bed.
"I'm fine, I've completely recovered!"
Sarutobi Asuma said quickly.
The reason the previous occupant died was because of a fever.
It was quite unlucky to die from a fever in the Ninja World.
Sarutobi Biwako breathed a sigh of relief, but still handed the medicine in her hand to Sarutobi Asuma.
Sarutobi Asuma took a deep breath and drank it down, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother, I'm completely fine now!"
Seeing her son full of energy and vitality, Sarutobi Biwako finally relaxed. She then invited her son to have lunch.
It was just the mother and son for lunch. Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, was extremely busy and would have lunch directly in the Hokage Building.
After the meal, Sarutobi Asuma took a walk in the yard to aid digestion, while refining his plan.
Half an hour later.
Sarutobi Asuma went out. Following the previous occupant's memories, he arrived at a small grove where he used to play with his friends and began training.
First was physical training.
Long-distance running, push-ups, handstand running…
The previous occupant had also done these exercises, so Sarutobi Asuma didn't have to worry about injuring himself due to improper form.
After an hour, sweat poured down like rain. Sarutobi Asuma lay on the grass and opened the system.
"An extra 10 experience points. Not too slow."
Sarutobi Asuma rejoiced.
This meant that, theoretically, it would take about ten hours to level up.
"However, the further I go, the less experience I might gain from these simple exercises."
He mused silently, then opened the attribute list. He found that the Constitution stat had become 10.1.
Meaning, it had increased by 0.1!
Instantly.
Sarutobi Asuma was filled with motivation.
After his stamina recovered, he immediately got up to continue training.
This time, he persisted for a full hour and ten minutes before collapsing on the ground, exhausted.
While gasping for breath, he opened the system to check his gains.
This time, his experience points increased by 11, and his Constitution increased by 0.11.
"This feels amazing!"
Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Forty minutes later, he got up to train again.
He lasted for an hour and ten minutes again. Not only was his stamina completely depleted, but he was also starving.
However, when he opened the system, Sarutobi Asuma's expression changed.
This time, he only gained 6 experience points, and his Constitution increased even less, only by 0.04.
"It seems that basic training has a certain threshold. I can't continuously gain the same amount of experience, and the effect will gradually decrease."
Sarutobi Asuma pondered thoughtfully.
After resting for a moment, he got up to buy some food.
After filling his stomach, there was still some time before dark, so he decided to go to the family's training ground.
This time, he persisted for an hour and fifteen minutes.
Looking at his status panel.
The experience points gained were now 4.
His Constitution increased by 0.01.
"If it continues like this, after about four hours of basic training, the experience points gained will be negligible, and the increase in Constitution will likely drop to the third decimal place."
Sarutobi Asuma calculated.
As expected.
After he got enough rest, he finished the fourth round of training, gaining only 1 experience point, while his Constitution increased by 0.002.
"At this rate, if my Constitution improves further, I'll need to extend the duration of basic training to continue gaining experience, or increase the intensity, like weighted running, running while carrying large rocks, or frog jumps."
"However, for now, I should proceed step by step."
Sarutobi Asuma concluded, then ended his Constitution training for the day.
There was still some time before dark.
Sarutobi Asuma took out his shuriken and began practicing tool throwing.
By the time his older brother, Sarutobi Shinya, returned, his experience points had reached 43.
He had gained 31 points from physical training and 12 points from tool throwing training.
Sarutobi Asuma's smile was so wide it almost split his face.
"Asuma, it seems you had a great harvest!"
Sarutobi Shinya said with a laugh, leaning against a pillar in the hallway.
Sarutobi Asuma stood up and looked at his brother, a character who had only a few mentions in the original work and hadn't even made an appearance.
His older brother by five years, Konohamaru's father, Sarutobi Shinya!
"Brother!"
Sarutobi Asuma greeted him with a smile and said, "Harvests are always a joy!"
"That's very true!"
Sarutobi Shinya nodded with a smile, then took a serious look at Sarutobi Asuma.
He sensed something different about his younger brother today, but it was for the better!
"Go wash up, dinner will be soon!"
Sarutobi Shinya said with a gentle smile.
"Okay!"
Sarutobi Asuma nodded with a smile and went to the bathroom.
After washing up, he came to the living room and finally saw the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was his father.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was currently 46 years old, was in the prime of his life and looked somewhat stern.
Sarutobi Asuma felt a little nervous, afraid of being found out.
Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen only exchanged pleasantries and concerns before the family of four sat down for dinner, which made Sarutobi Asuma secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Thus, the family of four enjoyed a warm and happy meal.
After dinner, Sarutobi Asuma and his brother Sarutobi Shinya helped their Mother clean the kitchen. As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he returned to the Hokage building.
The moon was bright and the stars were few.
In the empty training room.
Sarutobi Asuma asked his brother Sarutobi Shinya for advice on the Three Basic Ninjutsu and the many key points of hand seals.
Through the memories of his predecessor, he knew that his brother was an absolute genius who had graduated from the Ninja Academy last year.
The halo of being the Hokage's son was likely all on Sarutobi Shinya.
In fact, Sarutobi Shinya was indeed exceptionally outstanding.
Sarutobi Asuma felt he was far behind him, both in the Three Basic Ninjutsu and his understanding of hand seals.
An hour passed without him realizing it.
With a "ding" sound in his ears, Sarutobi Asuma knew he had leveled up.
"Here, this should be enough for you to digest for a while."
"Also, Asuma, you can go take a look at my training notes; you might gain even more."
"Besides these key points for hand seals, the most important thing is continuous practice."
Sarutobi Shinya smiled and patted Sarutobi Asuma's little head.
Sarutobi Asuma couldn't resist and let him pat his head. After thanking him, he scurried away.
"Asuma has grown up!"
Sarutobi Shinya watched Asuma leave and couldn't help but smile and sigh, then began his own training.
Returning to his bedroom, Sarutobi Asuma immediately opened the System.
