Kantomaru felt the pressure exerted on him due to all the expectations he had to meet. He took several deep breaths to calm himself and then contemplated his new home. As Kantomaru approached the towering, newly constructed building, he couldn't help but feel a mixture of curiosity and wariness. The building was modern and sleek, with several identical apartments stacked neatly atop one another. He noticed that the exterior still gleamed with the freshness of new construction, the kind that hadn't yet seen the wear and tear of time.

Kantomaru entered the building and made his way up to his apartment. When he entered, he was hit by the smell of fresh paint. It seemed that they repainted it every year for the new students who joined the academy's elite classroom. The walls were baby blue, and the wooden floor was light brown. It was surprisingly a good combination.

Kantomaru then curiously walked through his new apartment. He first saw the living room, which was large and furnished with everything a living room would need: three sofas, one long one facing the TV, and two smaller ones in front of the long sofa, one on the right and one on the left. The two smaller sofas faced each other with a glass rectangular table in the middle. There were also two little tables with flowers on either side of the TV.

The apartment also had a large kitchen with a new set of knives and all the necessary furniture, including a brown dining table with four grey chairs. He then walked into the bathroom, which was newly built with a shower, sink, and toilet—all squeaky clean. The apartment also had another room with just a toilet and a sink. Lastly, there were two bedrooms: one was his, with a large bed against the wall, a large grey wardrobe with a glass panel in the middle, several drawers, a brown desk with drawers, and a grey chair. The second room was empty, which left Kantomaru pondering how to make it useful: "Maybe a training room or a library with various medicines that I might create in the future?" Kantomaru thought to himself.

He then set aside those thoughts and couldn't help but feel the pressure on him. Even though he had all these things, they were not free. He would have to excel and live up to the Kazekage's expectations. He would need to thrive in a world full of unimaginably strong foes born with powers far exceeding human limitations, and he would have to defeat them.

After he had put all his belongings in place, he wasted no time and started a rigorous training program which was a step up from what he had been doing before, as he was now in the academy and had to keep up, to not lose his place in the classroom of the elite. His new training regimen consisted of 40 push ups, 50 squats, 50 sit ups, 40 dips, a 4-minute plank with 3 sets of each and a 20km run. Now you might be thinking isn't this the same training as always? Well yes. Right now, Kantomaru is able to do this training with barely any complications, so he decided to add a twist to it, so he took a deep breath and...

Kantomaru stood on the burning sand, the midday sun burning his back as he stared down at the patch of earth before him. His mind raced with the challenge ahead, knowing that this exercise would demand more precision than anything he'd tried before.
