Drenched in sweat, Uchiha Tōshirō leaned against the wall. Slowly, step by step, he dragged his feet into the entrance hall.

"I'm back!"

Completely drained of the last bit of his energy, Uchiha Tōshirō didn't rush to change his shoes after entering the house. Instead, he let out a weak, ritualistic greeting and sat on the step used for changing shoes in the entrance hall. He then collapsed onto the floor, lying on his back with his arms spread out.

He needed a brief moment to rest his utterly exhausted body.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath. His nerves, numbed by the intense physical training, gradually relaxed, and he slowly began to reflect.

"Who am I? Where do I come from? What am I supposed to do?"

It wasn't that Uchiha Tōshirō was weak.

The special training over the past two weeks had pushed his body and mind to their limits.

Each training session left him feeling on the brink of collapse, both physically and mentally.

As an Elite Jōnin, Uchiha Jūsai meticulously controlled the intensity of the training every day, pushing Tōshirō to the edge of breaking and back again.

This was to strengthen Tōshirō's mental willpower, as well as his combat skills, physical strength, and other aspects.

At the beginning of the special training, the intensity was relatively mild. It wasn't easy, but it wasn't as painful as it is now.

As Teacher Jūsai gained a deeper understanding of Tōshirō's various abilities, he couldn't help but marvel at Tōshirō's talents. Consequently, he began to increase the requirements for Tōshirō's training, hoping to cultivate an outstanding ninja for the clan.

Seeing this promising young clan member grow stronger with each training session, Uchiha Jūsai's passion for teaching gradually emerged.

After all, the satisfaction of nurturing a talented ninja and watching them grow was something he had never experienced before.

However, this meant that Uchiha Tōshirō was in for a tough time!

As his teacher gradually uncovered his true capabilities, the special training became increasingly intense.

The variety of training methods was endless, offering Tōshirō a different experience every day.

However, after each training session, Tōshirō would return home in the same state as today, too exhausted to move a finger, both physically and mentally.

But everything has two sides. After enduring this hellish two-week special training, thanks to the special training arranged by Teacher Jūsai and the three daily combat sessions, Tōshirō's combat skills and overall strength had significantly improved. This was a far cry from his previous self, who had been training in isolation.

Now, if Tōshirō were to face an ordinary Chūnin in a one-on-one battle, he might not be able to kill them, but he could certainly hold his own without much difficulty.

(I'm embarrassing myself as a穿越者 again! ^_^|||)

Compared to other穿越者, who had the strength to kill Jōnin at the age of eight, Tōshirō, after four years of training, had only just managed to reach the strength of a Chūnin, which was far from impressive.

However, considering his original background as a white-collar worker in the city, he had read many books and set up some training routines for himself, which had a solid foundation.

But in terms of technique and specificity, he was still far behind. His training methods couldn't compare to the rigorous and time-honored training methods of the official ninja, honed through countless brutal battles and a long history.

The Uchiha clan excelled in this regard. Whether it was reconnaissance, combat, search, chakra control, or the practical application of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, they had a unique training system that was perfectly suited to their clan members.

As a newcomer, Tōshirō didn't yet know that his special training had only just begun. The road ahead was long, and he would face many challenges.

After this special training by Teacher Jūsai, his strength, speed, reaction time, and chakra had all been transformed into real combat power.

He had gained a more comprehensive understanding of the stealth and sudden attacks that are common in ninja battles.

He could now launch attacks more effectively and better defend against ambushes.

However, he had yet to see real blood and lacked practical ninja experience.

Even so, his achievements were impeccable compared to his peers.

Kicking off his ninja sandals, Tōshirō struggled to get up from the floor, finally catching his breath. He walked barefoot into the house.

Due to the extremely high-intensity training over the past few days, the number of clones he left at home had decreased from three to one.

The tasks they performed had also changed from Yin Release, Yang Release, and genjutsu to household chores and reading, to reduce energy consumption and mental fatigue.

He couldn't maintain three Shadow Clones while also enduring Teacher Jūsai's special training.

Even having one Shadow Clone was to avoid having to do cooking and other household chores after each training session.

In the bathroom, he spent nearly an hour soaking in a hot bath prepared by a clone.

The fatigue from the day's training seemed to dissipate, and he felt like he had come back to life.

He couldn't help but marvel at how resilient the bodies of people in this world were. After such brutal training during the day, they could recover so quickly.

He wasn't sure if it was due to chakra or the youthful vitality of his body.

Putting aside these thoughts, Tōshirō, in loose clothing, went to the family's weapons room after dinner.

He began to prepare his equipment for the next day's mission.

Shuriken, kunai, steel wire, explosive tags, tachi, rations, soldier pills, and a change of clothes and medical supplies.

Indeed, after two weeks of special training, Uchiha Jūsai had fulfilled his promise. He had taken a C-rank mission to eliminate bandits from the Hokage Tower.

This was the first C-rank mission for the three new Genin—Tōshirō, Flame, and Satoshi. It was also their first time leaving the village and facing the true darkness and violence of the ninja world.

Tōshirō took this mission very seriously. He meticulously checked every piece of equipment and supplies, from weapons to rations and medical supplies.

To be safe, he even prepared ten thousand ryō in paper money for emergencies.

There was no way he could not take this seriously, as this was his first time leaving the comfort of Konoha to face the darkness and violence of the ninja world.

He would also face his first kill in his life.
