Naruto: Senmei Asahi

There were many recognizable people in Asahi's class.

Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, etc... 

With so many young geniuses under the same roof, even the Hokage's son was placed in this class, it's not hard for him to imagine that he must have been assigned to the so-called elite class. It seemed that it was very beneficial to show his talent when he was in the entrance examination, at least he won't be treated as an ordinary ninja prospect.

After entering the academy, Asahi had also started his formal ninja training, which made him start to care more about how to extract chakra. 

Fortunately, chakra was known as the foundation of all ninjutsu and so in the first week of school, the assigned teacher taught them the extraction method. 

Asahi had fallen a long way behind the starting line compared to some of his classmates who were already in contact with chakra and there were even some who had begun mastering jutsus like Kakashi, Obito and others. So now catching up to fill this gap would require even more effort from him. 

In his previous life, Asahi was never a hardworking person, but he did belong to the group of people with a good brain and functional limbs.

However, in this life he came to the years of war of the shinobi world, and also made the decision to become a ninja. Asahi could only constantly motivate himself to train hard to prevent him from falling even more behind others. 

Asahi even set up some enemies on his imagination for himself. Whenever he wanted to be lazy, he'll imagine that his strength was not enough in the close future, and he would be disposed by those powerful ninja without even a chance to resist. 

He doesn't talk to people, and often dream of being killed. This kind of life was extremely depressing. Fortunately, Asahi was already accustomed to this kind of loneliness. 

Chakra was an energy generated by the combination of spiritual energy and physical energy, and was the basis for all ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. 

According to Uchiha Madara, the Divine Tree was the producer of chakra, and all the chakra in the shinobi world was derived from it. 

There were two types of chakra. First, the combination of physical energy absorbed one by one from the 3 trillion cells in the human body and spiritual energy that had undergone training and accumulated itself after experiencing exercise; second, if someone trained in senjutsu, he could ingest natural energy from nature and mix it with his/her own chakra. 

As a war orphan without any Kekkei Genkai, training senjutsu was the best way for him to improve his strength.

In the original anime, in the whole shinobi world, one could train senjutsu in the three Legendary Sage Regions, Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest. It's just that in the full Naruto series, not a single successful case of becoming a Sage appeared in Shikkotsu Forest, so for the sake of insurance, he decided to only focus on Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave.

(T.L Note: It is not known whether Hashirama's sage mode comes from Shikkotsu Forest or not)

Among Jiraiya and Orochimaru, if he chooses to acknowledge one as a master, Jiraiya was of course the first choice. Orochimaru's mind was unpredictable, researching forbidden jutsu was dangerous, and following him was just too risky. 

It's just that this decision was not really in the hands of Asahi, whether Jiraiya or Orochimaru, neither would notice a war orphan at this moment. 

What he could do now was show more talent, and aim to even surpass Kakashi's talents in the eyes of others, to attract the attention of these guys. 

Due to transmigration, his original soul crossed over to the shinobi world, so the most outstanding feature of Asahi at present was his spiritual energy. 

A four year old child with the experience of an adult in his 20s, and his spiritual energy was extremely powerful for his age. 

Perhaps because of his powerful spiritual energy, his chakra refining was fast, and it was refined almost on the same day that his teacher taught him the method. 

And he also found that it was very easy for him to control chakra. Although he had a small chakra pool at present, this doesn't prevent him from trying to find out how much talent he actually had. 

Remembering the events of the original anime, Sakura had very fine control of chakra, and even inherited Tsunade's legacy by relying on her extremely good chakra control and medical talent. 

Before Tsunade, Sakura was just a ninja without much merit. But after acknowledging Tsunade as her master, Sakura's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, and she could even be ranked as one of the top in the Konoha's Twelve Little Strong.

Sakura achieved this, in addition to inheriting Tsunade's legacy, an even more important reason was that she had a dual personality, or a second soul per say. 

Shizune followed Tsunade for many years but she couldn't compare with Sakura after just 3 years of training. From this we could see how powerful spiritual energy was and how much it could help a ninja grow. 

Asahi himself had a soul in its 20s, and his soul of this life was slowly growing. He believed that over time, his spiritual energy would be even more powerful. 

If he could make good use of this spiritual energy, he might have great achievements in the future. 

Feeling the chakra running in his chakra network, he felt full of strength. This was the insurance for him to hold on to his life, and the capital to survive in the cruel shinobi world.

Discovering his talent made him suddenly several times more confident. But Asahi was also not someone to blindly rely and get arrogant out of nowhere, so he decided to not drown in it. It's a smart move to know himself in a clear way. He knew that he's just taking a small step now, and there was still a long way to go in the future. 

Each ninja in the Naruto world had their own training method, and Asahi had also started to prepare a training plan for himself. 

The first was to insist on running daily to further improve his physical strength, frog jumping, skipping rope, push-ups, punching a wooden pile, sit-ups, and so on. These simple methods of physical training was what he had always been practicing. 

Extracting chakra needed to become a daily compulsory task too. 

Apart from this, he also started practicing shuriken and kunai throwing. 

Maybe in high level battles, shuriken and kunai don't play much of a role, but during his time as a genin, they were very much a magic weapon for victory.

Sleeping was a happy moment for him now. Every time he slept, Asahi slept very well, but the sleep time was short and pathetic. 

Academy knowledge was also important to Asahi, after all, it was the only place where he could learn to become a ninja. The daily basic training was even more important, so he now only slept about 5 hours a day, and the rest of the time was basically training and practice. 

He never thought that he could even work so hard. Every day he's sweating like rain, and he can't help but grin, if he worked so hard in his previous-life, maybe he would have had some achievements to his name. 

But everything in his previous life was now just a thing of the past, and what he could do now was work hard to survive in this world.
