18 - 18 - 8 months

It had been eight months since Izuna had started his training, and the academy entrance exams were only four months away now.

Izuna got out of bed at the first sight of the morning sun.

He quickly ran into the kitchen, grabbed some food, and hurried out the door toward his training grounds before his parents could even get up to say good morning.

As he made his way toward his training ground, he thought back to the past eight months.

He had trained with dedication every day for far more than eight months; he had used his save point every chance he got to expedite his training.

He started his day with physical training, as always.

Physical training was the one thing he couldn't take advantage of with his save points because his body would just be reset each time, so he made sure to never miss a day.

While he couldn't take advantage of save points for his physical fitness, that didn't mean he didn't make progress. He was surprised at how much easier his body seemed to improve here compared to his previous world.

He was now able to run 6 kilometers, do 6 sets of 10 pushups, 200 sit-ups in a row, 6 sets of 20 squats, and 3 sets of 10 pull-ups.

A significant jump in ability in just 8 months of training with his young body that was still two months away from turning 5.

As he trained his body, he made sure to push himself hard with dedication with every step, with every rep, until he had completed his training regime.

After finishing his physical training, he could tell that his body had once again slightly improved, and he sat down to take a small break before he started his chakra and elemental control exercises. Unlike his physical training that reset with each use of the save point, they did not, which allowed him to continually get better with each day of practice regardless of whether he used his save point or not.

[A/n I changed how the save point works; hopefully, you will like it. If you don't feel like rereading chapter 14, then this is basically what it boils down to.]

[The being then said, "Well, previously, you were allowed to just spam the save point as much as you wanted. However, now your save point will have a small cooldown on it. So, for example, if you use your save point and go back in time for one day, then you now lose that save point, and you can't set a new save point for one day. If you went back in time one week, then you can't set a new save point for one week.]
