'80,000!!!'
It was a number that boggled Hiroshi's mind, he was prepared for more simulation points since he suspected that he would get a jounin level evaluation this time. But the gulf between expectations and reality was quite a bit larger than he had imagined.
'...that makes some sense though, I cheated my way to a jounin evaluation this time because of {Curesed Seal of Earth} otherwise my limit should have been mid/high-chunin.'
There were also a couple more things that concerned Hiroshi once he got over the fact that he was rich right now. The history of the Senju clan was a little surprising, though being targeted because he grew too strong was an annoying by-product that he had to live by right now. Some of the plans that he had made would have to be shelved, and his chakra weights needed to be adjusted so that his speed and strength that anyone could see should firmly be controlled within the high-genin/ low-chunin range.
The last thing that concerned him was the adverse effect his unbalanced hidden stats had on him during the simulation, while the {Cursed Mark of Earth} gave him an upgrade to his physical side, his reflexes, and vision didn't allow him to fight effectively unless he activated the {Cursed Mark of Earth}.
'So in hindsight, I just can't focus on physical and comprehension stat while ignoring everything else... getting Kage level just got a lot harder.'
Hiroshi was a gamer, and when he first saw his stats he simply thought about min-maxing his way to success, but the hidden stats were more comprehensive than they seemed, even if he wanted to be a pure Taijutsu legend like Gai or Lee than too he would have to upgrade at least 5 of the 8 stats.
Still, the biggest problem standing in his way right now is the simulation cooldown time that keeps increasing. It took him a few moments to figure out the pattern and according to simple maths if the simulation time keeps increasing at the rate it is currently increasing then he would just have a total of 8-9 simulation opportunities before the 4th shinobi world war. This means he would be at the mercy of Naruto and Sasuke reconciling to survive that ordeal.
"...Hiroshi, you okay man, you look a little lost?" Ren asked his face blank in public but Hiroshi could still hear some concern leaking into his tone.
"Yeah, just give me a minute... I'll be okay." Hiroshi hadn't noticed the underlying tension that was surrounding his team. His eyes roamed across everyone and after giving a vague nod his gaze once again focused on the reward screen. He picked the points, it was an obvious choice to him, although he was curious if he would gain the curse mark if he selected new skills.
'Would I even get the curse mark? it wasn't actually a skill but a trait I think... if I got it through a simulation, it would create quite a lot of problems.'
Hiroshi abandoned that trait of thought, it was a hypothetical on top of a hypothetical, he really didn't need to think about it at the moment, what he needed was to figure out how to upgrade his stats. The difference in grades across the screen was a bit off-putting now that he looked at it, but first, he needed to focus on upgrading one stat to a higher limit, so that he can use the leftovers to even out everything.

[Physical Stats]
[Balance : D+] {Upgrade Cost: 1000 points}
[Coordination : D-] {Upgrade Cost: 250 points}
[Reflexes : C-] {Upgrade Cost: 2500 points}
[Physique : C] {Upgrade Cost: 5000 points}
-------------------------------
[Mental Stats]
[Vision : C-] {Upgrade Cost: 2500 points}
[Spatial Awareness : D-] {Upgrade Cost: 250 points}
[Comprehension : D+] {Upgrade Cost: 1000 points}
[Memory : D] {Upgrade Cost: 500 points}
-------------------------------
The Comprehension and Memory stat seemed like a joint package, you learn jutsu by getting their comprehension, and your spiritual energy, i.e. Chakra and chakra control are tied to the Memory stat. Still the most important right now would be to get the Comprehension stat to a B grade, which would potentially unlock most of the common ninjutsu making up for the most glaring weakness in Hiroshi's arsenal. Hiroshi looked around at the trees passing by, he should do the upgrades when he is in a secluded area, and maybe when Ren is asleep so that he didn't notice his chakra flare when he got an update.

-------------------------------
Hiroshi felt a burst of chakra flowing through his body after every click, it was the most exhilarating feeling in the world. In the Elemental nations, where Chakra is the lifeblood of every creature, the feeling of warmth after every click was like the flare of a fireplace on a cold snowy night. Still, the most important breakthrough has yet to come, the upgrade of comprehension from C+ to B- won't just allow him to learn more ninjutsu and lay down a solid foundation for him to work, it was also a major boundary, and since Comprehension would be his first stat to break through into B grade the trait he should get should be related to it.
Suppressing his excitement Hiroshi clicked on the upgrade button in front of the Comprehension stat, the single click required him to shell out 10,000 points.
