After dedicating his time to refining his Chakra, he was exhausted. With a clear mind and a calm spirit, he decided it was time to rest and recharge. That night, he slept soundly, and the next morning he awoke feeling refreshed and energized. Eager to start his day, he ventured to his kitchen and began preparing a hearty breakfast for himself. He carefully selected the ingredients he had purchased the day before from Ichiraku Ramen shop, as he can't see and unable to tell quality of the ingredients so he asked Ichiraku for the ingredients ensuring that each item was fresh and of the highest quality. With each slice, chop, and stir, he felt a sense of peace and joy, knowing that he was nourishing his body and mind with wholesome food.
Once he had finished his delicious meal, he turned his attention to his Daily task, which had been assigned to him by the system. With a sense of purpose and determination, he set out to complete the task to the best of his ability.
After dedicating an hour of focused effort, he successfully completed the task assigned by the system.

Feeling a sense of accomplishment after his recent training, he decided to take a brief break before moving on to the next skill he wanted to master. After resting for half an hour, he began practicing the foundational skill that all ninjas must master: walking on ground without making a sound. He attached Chatra to his feet, with each step, he focused on minimizing the sound of his movements, using his ears he tried to detect any noise that he might be making, this practice also increases the control over chakra. He practiced for as long as he could, trying to extend the amount of time he could walk without making a sound.
However, due to his recent Chakra training, which had only been ongoing for less than 15 days, his reserves were still limited. After only 15 minutes of practice, his Chakra reserves had been depleted, and he knew he would need to take a break and continue his training later.
As his Chakra reserves were depleted, he sat down on the ground to focus on recovering his chakra.
Once his Chakra had been restored, he resumed his training, determined to continue improving his skills. He searched for a few leaves and began practicing the wind Chakra nature change, focusing his chakra on the leaves trying to cut them in half but his attempts were without a fruit. However, due to the limited amount of Chakra he had available, he was only able to practice the technique a handful of times before his reserves were once again depleted.
He sat quietly, allowing his Chakra to naturally replenish itself over time. As he waited, he reflected on the progress he had made so far and the challenges that lay ahead.
After successfully replenishing his Chakra, he took a break to nourish his body with a well-deserved lunch. He carefully prepared his meal, ensuring that it was both delicious and nutritious. Once he had finished eating, he returned to the open space and resumed his training.
Using the memories he had gained from studying the Fujitora template, he began honing his swordsmanship skills. With each swing of his blade, he focused on perfecting his technique, channeling all of his energy and focus into his movements. He continued to practice tirelessly, his movements becoming more fluid and precise with each passing moment.
As the afternoon wore on, he lost track of time, fully absorbed in his training. However, as the sunlight began to fade and the temperature cooled, he realized that evening was approaching. With a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, he knew it was time to bring his training to a close for the day.
He carefully sheathed his sword and took a moment to reflect on the progress he had made.
After a long day of training, he returned to his humble abode to freshen up and recharge. He took a warm and soothing bath, washing away the sweat and grime that had accumulated on his body during his intense training session. He also took the time to carefully wash and clean the clothes he had worn, ensuring that they were fresh and ready for his next training session.
Once he had finished bathing and changing into a fresh new outfit, he decided to go to the Ichiraku Ramen shop. However, this time he challenged himself to rely solely on his memory and observation Haki from his visit the previous day.
As Jiryoku entered the Ichiraku Ramen shop, he was greeted with a warm and enthusiastic welcome from the owner himself. "Oh, you're here! Come, come, have a seat," Ichiraku exclaimed, gesturing towards an open table.
Jiryoku returned the smile and took a seat at the table, feeling grateful for the friendly atmosphere of the restaurant. "Same as yesterday," he said, ordering his meal.
"Coming right up," Ichiraku responded with a friendly smile, as he headed to the kitchen to prepare Jiryoku's ramen.
As he waited for his meal, Jiryoku engaged in conversation with the friendly ramen chef, asking him about his life and experiences. He found himself enjoying the simple pleasure of talking with someone who shared his passion for food and cooking.
After finishing his meal, Jiryoku made sure to stock up on ingredients for tomorrow's breakfast and lunch.
As Jiryoku continued with his daily routine, the days seemed to blur together. Two days had passed since he began his usual training and self-care regimen, and the third day was already upon him. He had just finished his evening training session and was now sitting in his room, lost in thought. It suddenly dawned on him that it was Hinata's birthday today, and he couldn't help but wonder if the envoy from the village of thunder who had arrived the day before was planning to kidnap her on this special day.
Jiryoku pondered this possibility for a moment, but then he shook his head and muttered to himself, "Whatever. It doesn't have anything to do with me. I have my own goals to accomplish." He knew that getting involved in other people's problems would only distract him from his own goal.
