Nagato, this little brat, was probably the most talented of the three. The bloodline of the Uzumaki clan truly set him apart. Not only did he possess an exceptional amount of high-quality chakra, but his vitality was also remarkably robust.
Uchiha Madara thought to himself that for this child, learning ninjutsu and taijutsu could take a backseat for now. When he eventually visited Konoha, he'd procure a stack of sealing scrolls for Nagato to study. Sealing techniques would suit the boy well.
As for Konan, her talent wasn't lacking either, though she hadn't yet realized the unique kekkei genkai she possessed—Shikigami no Jutsu (Paper Release).
There wasn't much to say about her situation—she simply needed to fully develop her bloodline limit. Additionally, she should focus on mastering taijutsu and Suiton (Water Release). Taijutsu was self-explanatory; without a strong body, nothing else mattered. And as for learning Water Release, it was primarily because her Paper Release was weak against Fire Release.
Yahiko, however, gave Madara some pause. His aptitude was average, but he was undoubtedly the pillar holding the trio together.
Madara had already come to recognize Yahiko's inhuman determination and willpower. He decided that Yahiko would pursue balanced development in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, aiming to become an all-around ninja. Yahiko had the potential for it.
Madara continued to stare intently at the three children, lost in thought. Meanwhile, the trio standing before his desk were drenched in cold sweat. Anyone subjected to such prolonged scrutiny from Madara would feel the immense pressure bearing down on them.
Just as the three kids were reaching their breaking point, Madara finally spoke:
"Alright, I think I've got a good grasp of things. I've already learned about your abilities from White Zetsu. Right now, all you three brats can do is use basic chakra manipulation and the simplest forms of the Three Shuriken Techniques... Hmm… You're not even at the level of genin yet!
The most important thing for you three right now is to build a solid foundation!
Originally, I planned to send you three to a ninja academy to study. However, the academy hasn't been established in Uchiha Village yet. Once it's up and running, you'll enroll then.
Until then, I've drawn up a training regimen for you. Every day, you must strictly adhere to this plan!"
With that, Madara pulled three scrolls from his drawer, picked up his brush, and began writing furiously. Within moments, he completed the plans and handed one to each of the children.
The trio hesitantly accepted the scrolls, glanced at their contents, and their faces instantly turned pale!
While there were slight variations in their individual plans, the overall structure was largely the same.
Every morning, they were to wake up at six, wash up, have breakfast, and begin training at seven. Training would continue until nine in the evening, with a strict bedtime set for ten o'clock!
From seven in the morning to nine at night—a total of fourteen hours—the schedule allowed only one hour for lunch and dinner, leaving thirteen hours for training.
Of these thirteen hours, six were dedicated to physical conditioning, such as running and weightlifting. Four hours were allocated to practicing ninjutsu and refining chakra control, while the remaining three hours were reserved for studying academic subjects like mathematics and history.
In short, every single day of the trio's lives was now meticulously planned out.
Looking at the contents of the scroll, the three children couldn't help but feel as if they had willingly jumped into a blazing inferno!
Hiding behind their unfolded scrolls, the trio whispered nervously to one another:
"Yahiko, does this mean we have to follow this plan every day?"
"Uh… From the looks of it, Madara-san seems serious about this… But if we keep this up, we're going to die! What do you think, Nagato?"
"Hmm… It seems like we're in for a rough time…"
"What?! Are you just going to accept this without question?!"
"Yahiko, do you really think you can defy Madara-san?"
"Uh… Well, maybe there's room for leniency. Let me try talking to him and see if he'll ease up a bit."
Lowering their scrolls, the trio forced stiff smiles onto their faces, beads of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads as they faced the oppressive figure of Uchiha Madara.
Swallowing hard, Yahiko cautiously raised his scroll and timidly addressed Madara:
"Madara-sama… Um… This training plan is extremely intense and packed. Could you possibly… loosen it up by a few hours…?"
"Never!"
Madara roared at the trio:
"This is Uchiha Village, my domain! Since you three brats have come here and are under my care, you will obey my rules! Of course, if you refuse, feel free to leave. Uchiha Village has no place for those who lack value!"
Wiping the spittle from his face, Yahiko awkwardly chuckled:
"Uh… Alright then, Madara-sama, you're the boss… You're the boss…"
Madara's expression remained stoic, his demeanor akin to that of a high school homeroom teacher:
"From this day forward, you three will rigorously adhere to this plan for training and studying. You will continue until I deem it no longer suitable for you.
By the way, there are many vacant houses around this administrative building. You may choose any one to live in.
After surviving on your own for so long, I trust that basic chores like cleaning and cooking won't be an issue.
As for furniture, it will be delivered and set up for you.
Every week, I'll provide you with a generous allowance. While I can't guarantee everything, I assure you that your food supply and nutrition will be more than sufficient to sustain your daily grind of intense training and studying.
Oh, and to ensure none of you slack off, I'll dispatch White Zetsu clones to monitor your progress every day.
Lastly! I'll conduct random inspections of your progress. If I'm not satisfied… Welcome to the depths of my genjutsu!"
At this moment, Madara was the very embodiment of a great demon king. Under his overwhelming presence, the three children trembled uncontrollably.
And so, from this day forward, the trio would enjoy the comforts of good food, clothing, and shelter—but they would also endure the grueling misery of being worked to the bone every single day.
