Chapter 7: Preparation (4)

Two months had passed since Naruto had started his training and his body had indeed been wrecked every single day, there were even days where he had to be carried back home by someone because he had trained too hard, his only saving grace was the Gamers Body, without it his body would have most likely already have collapsed.

His days went something like this: Wake up at 6 AM, stretch for 30 minutes, breakfast, study for 1 hour, then 3 hours of training, which included Taijutsu, Parkour, Shuriken Jutsu, etc, then he would have an early lunch which consisted of at least 3000 calories, then he would have a rest period of 1 hour while his body properly digested and applied the nutrients of his food, then would be another 3 hours of strength training.

Half of his day would then been have covered, after those 3 hours of training he would have another meal, after which he would study calligraphy and other studies for 2 hours, after that he would have another heavy training which included everything from stamina training to weight training, this was usually the hardest part of the day, he would train for 4 hours straight after which he would more often than not collapse of tiredness when he didn't though he would have another meal and would try to cram in another hour of calligraphy before sleeping.

This had been his program for two whole months and it had worked wonders on his malnourished state since it had disappeared.

His malnourished status effect actually affected his stat gain as he would gain 75% fewer stats than he would normally, which was also the reason why his stats hadn't grown that much.

The only sad thing was that Naruto hadn't received any kind of quest and hadn't killed anything to gain EXP so while his stats had gone up quite a bit he was more pleased with the growth of his skills.

He had gained a few skills during training that helped him during combat, one of them was Power Strike, which increased his strength by 50% whenever activated and it was a very good skill.

His skill repertoire looked like this.

His skills had seen explosive growth, a skill he was especially happy with was willpower.

[Willpower: lvl 4

Description: Willpower, the most important thing for any ninja, this skill increases the willpower of the user, you will be less likely to give up, you gain resistance to low-level genjutsu, psychological attacks are weakened, you are less likely to be affected by killing intent.]

This was a skill that he had only gained recently yet had helped him immensely, there were moments where he felt like there was no hope, that he would never catch up with other students, that he would never be good enough, but willpower changed that, he now had a sense of confidence in himself that only people who were 100% sure that they were better than others had.

Today was actually the day that Dog would come to visit Naruto so Naruto was naturally excited, these days were also a lot laxer compared to other days where he trained the entire day, Naruto had designated Mondays as rest days, even if he had the willpower skill destroying your body every day would take a toll on everyone, usually on Mondays he would eat at Ichiraku's and hang out with Dog at his apartment.

Currently, Naruto and Dog were looking over Naruto's calligraphy skills.

"You have grown a lot over these past two months Naruto-kun, I must say that I am quite jealous, if I could train as hard as you every day I could definitely become as strong as the Hokage, perhaps even stronger." Dog complimented Naruto.

Naruto grinned, it wasn't every day that he was complimented this much so he took it all in with pride.

Dog continued "Now while you have improved you are only barely comparable to clan children, physique wise there may be one or two that you can beat but technique-wise you are still lacking, sadly the Hokage did not give me permission to teach you any taijutsu so you will have to figure that out on your own." Dog sighed "Though there is a tip that I can give you, if you go out running every day at 5 in the morning, run 5 laps around the village, and then continue to do Taijutsu training there may be a green monstrosity that can help you out." Dog's eyes glinted behind his mask.

If dog knew one person who worked as hard as Naruto then it would definitely be 'him', if Naruto could catch his attention then his Taijutsu skill could surpass even the most trained clan children, after all, if he was taught by 'him' then there would be no way he would lose.

Although Dog said that Naruto was quite sad, he would've enjoyed learning things from Dog but he would trust him, even if he had to wake up earlier than he already did.

Naruto had actually experimented with Gamers Body quite a bit and had figured out some interesting things, first of all, Naruto had to sleep 8 hours to maximize training efficiency while his body could function without food, water, or sleep for it to grow it needed sleep, in the biology book that Naruto had read about sleep it said that the body released growth hormones whenever someone slept, the Gamers Body would accelerate the process which would make the pain in his body disappear and his muscles grow, now if he slept less he would still feel aches in his body and he even got a notification that informed him that he required more sleep for maximum training efficiency.

This was also the reason why he wasn't growing as quickly as he possibly could, simply because his child body didn't allow it, there were limits to how fast a child could grow stronger, and even if Naruto went past those limits he would see no increase in his stats, though when his body finished growing? That was a different thing entirely, Naruto predicted that when his body became fully grown he could start abusing Gamers Body and his growth would become even more explosive.

Though for now, Naruto had to settle for waking up earlier and sacrificing an hour of study time for sleep.
