“Okay, Sensei. I’ll try to master it as soon as possible,” Kaida replied.

  “How many seals have you learned so far?”

  “Sensei, I've learhe ste seal and am w on the suppression seal. They’re taking more time than anticipated. Sora-sensei said that once I get the hang of the basic idea, the learning will bee easier, but so far, the progress is so slow,” Kaida said. Initially,

  Sora had told him that it would only take a month to lear seals, but it had been almost three weeks, and he was still stu the sed one.

  “This jutsu has the capability to give you healing abilities on par with the First Hokage. Do you think it will be easy to learn? If that were the case, hundreds of ninja would be roaming around the vilge with this jutsu, and Konoha would be s that all the other vilges bined wouldn’t be a match for us,” Mitsuru said.

  Kaida nodded. He khat learning it wouldn’t be easy, but with his medical training almost finished and fuinjutsu barely starting, he worried it might take him a year to learn even an inplete version of the Mitotic Regeion Jutsu.

  That too, only because he had such a rge chakra reserve. No wohers didn’t learn this jutsu. Mitsuru uood why Kaida felt that fuinjutsu was taking so long, but she simply chuckled.

  “?”

  “You think you’ve learhe medical part of the requirement, right?” Mitsuru asked.

  “More or less, Sensei. I just have to practice what I already know until I perfect it. I don’t think it will take much time,” Kaida said.

  “You’re s. Until now, you’ve only been able to heal small cuts and tears. When actual damage occurs, you’ll have trow most of that area and e works perfectly. I once worked on a case where a ninja was sshed at the waist, and most of his iines were damaged and poisoned.

  I had to remove 60% of his iines and then regee them. It was almost impossible, even for me. That’s the level you o achieve before even thinking about learning this jutsu. Because this jutsu heal a lethal injury as if it were just a scratch, but for that, you o be able to do the same,” Mitsuru said.

  “Does that mean I’ll o focus on this for a few more months too?” Kaida asked.

  “If you’re lucky. I had to practice tinuously for six months before reag that stage, but I didn’t have your chakra reserves, so who knows? Maybe you do it in two to three months if you’re lucky,” Mitsuru said.

  Kaida just groaned. “Nothing is easy in this world.”

  “From now on, you’re responsible for finding your own ‘patients.’ Either talk to the Third Hokage for criminals o capture some bandits yourself. Also, when he wakes up, inform me,” Mitsuru said, pointing toward the bandit.

  “Um, Sensei, did he somehow offend you?” Kaida asked, curious why Mitsuru wao torture the bandit both physically aally instead of just killing him.

  “There was an old man who used to sell dumplings from a cart when he came to Konoha from time to time with his vilge. This bastard killed that man st month. I really liked those dumplings,” Mitsuru said before leaving the room.

  The shreds of pity Kaida felt for the bandit suddenly vanished after hearing that. Now, even he was looking forward to telling the bandit about the best joke of his life.

  Si was almost time for the medie’s effect to wear off, Kaida decided to get some practice done, especially with the most difficult part aside from the brain a—the iihey were a very important part of the body, responsible for abs nutrients from food. If they were destroyed and a mediinja messed up in their recovery, the patient would die a very sloainful death, simir to starvation. So Kaida decided to focus on this first.

  After an hour, the bandit woke up groaning, only to find his belly cut open and a boy healing his iines. He started mumbling and shouting something, but since his mouth was sealed with tape, he couldn’t say anything. He was at least able to attract Kaida’s attention.

  “Oh! You’re awake. Sorry about this. My sensei said we have to let you go now, but since you were unscious anyway, I thought you could help me o time before leaving. Thanks for your help. I’ll go and call Sensei,” Kaida said ahe room.

  The bandit’s mumbling tinued as he tried to say, “Bastard, at least y belly before leaving. That brat is also a demon, just like that bit—”

  But he didn’t have to wait long. Kaida soourned with Mitsuru.

  “Oh! You’re awake, good. Noer our deal, you’ll be sent to the mines and live as an ordinary person. You have a normal life, but I’ll send ninja to monitor you from time to time, so don’t even think about running away,” Mitsuru said in a tone like a big sister from the neighborhood teag young children.

  The bandit snorted in his mind, already thinking about running away to another vilge as soon as he got the ce to resume his old work.

  “Did you think I would say that? Hahaha!” Mitsuru started ughing, seeing the hope on the bandit’s face, and then enjoyed every bit of the despair that followed.

  “I was just joking when we made that deal. You’ll suffer the same fate until the day you die,” Mitsuru said, her expression being more and more frightening for the bandit. He started thrashing around, fetting about his open belly, only to stop when pain shot through his mind.

  “Oh! You’re trying to resist? Do you really think you have the capability to do so? How cute,” Mitsuru said and then made some hand seals before pg her hand over the bandit’s head.

  A bck symbol appeared on his head, and now, even if the bandit tried to move his body, it wouldn’t budge an inch. It was as if he was in someone else’s body, uo trol it.

  “Juinjutsu?” Kaida asked. ‘Sensei is good at everything. I wonder why she was never shown in the anime. She would have pyed a very important role if she had bee a Jonin sensei for any of Naruto's friends. But sidering how busy she is, there’s no way she could be one,’ he thought, his mind wandering from the bandit in front of him.

  “Close him up and then find your new patient. He’ll need some time to heal. We ’t let him die, we?” Mitsuru said and thehe room.

  “Of course not, Sensei,” Kaida said and started healing the bandit, who was desperately trying to move his body, even thinking of begging for death. But he couldn’t utter a single sound. Even though he could breathe normally, he started feeling suffocated. As, there was nothing he could do.

  Kaida closed the bandit’s wound and thehe room as well, leaving the bandit aloo think about his miserable situation.

  ‘I actually love this aspect of this world. Even though crimes here are far more heinous than oh, criminals here don’t have any rights. They be properly punished. Oh, some people might have e forward to protect this bandit with human rights or something.

  Hehe, I would love to see such people here. They would most likely join that bandit in that room,’ Kaida thought as he headed toward Sora’s house to tinue his fuinjutsu lessons.

  ‘I’ll have to take on some bandit extermination missions too. I don’t want to ask Hiruzen for this, even though I’m pretty sure he would agree. But it doesn’t feel right, sidering I’ll have to ask for the Flying Thunder God Jutsu too. I should show that I’m petent enough,’ Kaida thought.
