31 Training starts! Day 1
{Main Entrance, Konohagakure}
{8:43 PM, 21 March 78 Yrs}
Hiroshi looked at the looming gates of Konoha, it was not the first time he had returned to Konoha after an extended mission, but the amount of relief he felt after coming back from this mission was significantly higher. For the past two days, there had been an invisible tension surrounding their team, at least it was visible to him. Tora though didn't try anything reckless but he was noticeably more isolated from the team and Hiroshi stayed closer to Ren than he normally would have.
Still, it wasn't enough for the rest of the team to know but he was sure that Team Tora would be done after today.
"Alright, Mitsuru, Eiko, and Ren I'll meet you for dumplings tomorrow. Hiroshi, I assume you are going to take a break from the team to focus on training?"
Mitsuru and Eiko both nodded but Ren shook his head, "No, I'll also take a leave, I want to start some practice for the exams too."
Tora paused a bit, Hiroshi saw him suppress a frow as he nodded, "Alright I'll find temporary replacements for you two, best of luck."
Hiroshi waved toward Mitsuru and Eiko before he turned around to leave, a moment later he heard Ren's footsteps beside him, Hiroshi turned to give him a questioning glance.
"You want to form a team, for the chunin exams?" Ren asked.
Hiroshi paused for a moment before he continued walking, something was different from the simulation again and it hasn't even been that long, Ren wasn't supposed to ask him that question for another month at least, "Sure..." Hiroshi controlled a sliver of chakra to augment his calves before he took off toward his training ground.
Laughter echoed around the busy streets of Konoha, children were playing their games running around laughing. It was a peaceful scenery that would maybe get destroyed in about 3 months...
Hiroshi wasn't feeling guilty, he just glanced at them for a moment before he stopped in front of a weapon supply store, it was a pretty common spot for Reserve force genin to hang out, so there were quite a lot of shinobi milling about. Hiroshi ignored the masses and quietly slipped into the shop, a few thousand Ryo's poorer, he walked out with a modest supply of sealing scrolls and pouches of ink.
Fuinjutsu, it was one of the branches he was most excited about but was never able to understand fully. Now that he knows a seal plus with his new trait, maybe he would be able to grind a common storage seal to maybe modify it into something more and maybe gain access to the knowledge hidden in upper levels of the archive.
The clearing was as peaceful as ever, Hiroshi looked around, it looked untouched as if no one has been there for the last 15-20 days. Hiroshi did a few hops, his blood was already pumping, the sprint to training ground 21 served as a light warmup so he started doing the basic set of stretches. Maybe he should have gone home to rest after traveling the whole day, but he just had a lot of excess energy right now.
Maybe he was just excited to finally learn a proper jutsu, his comprehension has crossed the B-grade barrier making 4 jutsu available to him to learn, maybe it was the fact that his body's physical potential now was that of a high-chunin across the board.
As Hiroshi adjusted his weight to increase by 1 kg, he started planning out his schedule for the next few months.
'Kabuto and Orochimaru targetted me because I grew too fast, the only reason they know that should be because I was constantly fighting against chunins in the reserve force every day... but if I don't spar constantly then my taijutsu style would reach a bottleneck unable to advance... maybe I should swing around Team Guy tomorrow, they trained at a secluded place and Kabuto wouldn't dare lurk around them.'
Hiroshi started jogging around the clearing, the clearing wasn't huge, if he had to guess a full circle around would be 200-300m at most, and while it was a boring thing to do, Hiroshi still enjoyed the feeling of wind rushing at his face. He wasn't going fast, the weights on both of his legs were set to 7.5 KG each. While he wasn't a massive training maniac like Lee he was constantly increasing his weights whenever he felt like his progress was slowing down.
'Plus with my new trait, the speed at which my AGI increases should explode.'
Hiroshi thought as his thoughts went back to his stats, although his actual stats haven't improved exponentially as his hidden stats have. The small increase was still more than what Hiroshi got with his intense training during the last 6 months before the system.
'For the next simulation, I should focus on getting my stats into the Chunin range, having better physical stats would mean better chakra, I need to start going to the library again my INT stat has a lot of room to grow.'

Hiroshi cracked a small smile at his INT stat, the gulf between his potential stats and real stats was getting larger and larger, he now needs to focus one simulation, probably the next one, entirely on grinding stats and not worry about simulation points, but the decision ultimately rests on how much the cooldown time increases.
'So basic physical conditioning in the morning, followed by first learning the three Earth Release jutsus and then grinding them. Going to the library after lunch to learn more about Fuinjutsu and read more journals for INT upgrades, and finish with physical conditioning and jutsu spamming to finish the day... maybe before going to bed, I could grind out the storage seal, see if maybe I can unlock an upgrade as I did with the Gold Scientist trait.'
With his future plan decided/patched together, Hiroshi focused on training as he started a full sprint around the clearing.
'I need to increase my speed before meeting team 8...'
