“Oh! Shit, I’m te!” Kaida shouted as soon as he woke up, then ran toward the bathroom for an urgent reason.

  Due to fog too mu fuinjutsu, Kaida haden well in three days and had been relying on soldier pills. That’s why, when he finally returned home, he ate enough food to feed ten people before heading straight to bed—but not before telling everyone hoy he was about pleting all his preparations and how he was going to learn the best medical jutsu soon.

  Obviously, everyone else in the family was happy too. Kaida had taken four days off from the hospital, and one more day remained. Due to all the growth he had experienced i months, the amount of sleep he usually needed had decreased to 16 hours.

  So, when Kaida went to sleep, he thought he would have 10+ hours before the hospital opened. But there was ohing he had severely uimated: the mental fatigue he had accumuted over the st three days came crashing down on him, and he ended up sleeping for more than 26 hours. Even when he woke up, he was still feeling a slight headache.

  ‘No wonder not many people use shadow es to learn things; this method is too mentally exhausting for learning fuinjutsu. I don’t even want to think about how much worse the pain would have been without the 3-tomoe Sharingan,’ Kaida thought as he came out of his room ao the kit, only to grab a gss of milk before heading straight toward the door.

  “Young man, shouldn’t you at least inform us before leaving?” Hae said from the hall, where she, Naruto, and Shisui were sitting.

  “Sorry, Aunt, I fot,” Kaida said.

  “No problem. Best of luck with learning that regeion or something jutsu,” Hae said with a smile.

  “Thanks, Aunt,” Kaida replied.

  “Best of luck, brother,” Naruto added, even though he didn’t know why he was saying that.

  “Thanks, bro,” Kaida said, ruffling Naruto's hair a little.

  “Now you run,” Shisui said, waving his hand in a shooiure.

  Kaida just nodded after looking at the clod went directly to the hospital.

  …

  Knock, knock

  “e in.”

  “Good m, Sensei,” Kaida said meekly, entering Mitsuru’s office.

  “Barely. It’s almost noon. Yetting quite rexed now, aren’t you?” Mitsuru said, looking up from the book she was reading.

  “I’m sorry, I just woke up. This time the effects of the soldier pills were too severe. I’m still having a mild headache,” Kaida said.

  “It’s not the effect of the soldier pills, you brat; it’s your masochistic training that’s at fault,” Mitsuru said like a big, angry, but g sister scolding her little brother.

  “I… I’m sorry, Sensei,” Kaida wao refuse, but even he k was true.

  “So, how was the result of your training?” Mitsuru asked, ging the topic.

  “It was great, Sensei. I finally mastered all the seals you told me to learn,” Kaida said.

  “Show me the st ohen,” Mitsuru said.

  Kaida wasted no time and quickly took out his fuinjutsu set to start crafting the array. In just three minutes, Kaida made a near-perfect replica of what Sora had taught him.

  “I don’t want to see this, brat. Make the one you created yourself,” Mitsuru said, dismissing the array because she khere was no way Kaida could have made such a refined version so early—even a on-a-tury genius of fuinjutsu wouldn’t be able to do that.

  Kaida just nodded his head and started making the version he had designed. If the previous version of the array was like freshly bought earphohen this version was like earphohat just came out of a pocket—a jumbled mess.

  Even though both were basically the same, it would be very awkward to use those jumbled earphones, right?

  When Mitsuru saw the version Kaida had made himself, she nodded her head in approval.

  “So, you finally did it. I was actually hoping that you would stop this absurd idea midway sihe requirements are just too difficult, but you actually did it. So, I’ll keep my word and teach you the Mitotic Regeion Jutsu. That will cost you 15 million ryo, though.”

  “WHAT?” Kaida suddenly shouted after hearing the st part.

  “Sehat much money is enough to issue two low S-Rank missions! Aren’t you expeg too much from your poor student?”

  “I’m not asking for that money for myself, brat. We’ll he help of two fuinjutsu grandmasters during the process—and not just any fuinjutsu grandmasters, but ones who have enough experien the medical field too. In Konoha, there are only three such grandmasters, including Lord Third, but we only t oher two. Usually, they wouldn’t help anyone even if you had money. Lucky for you, I know them personally and ask them to help you. And you think they should help you for free?” Mitsuru asked.

  “But, Sensei, where would I get 15 million ryo from…? Please give me a loan,” Kaida said, bowing 90 degrees.

  “Brat, that bathhouse of yours is already earning you tens of millions of ryo each month. Just take out some money from that stash of yours,” Mitsuru said, as if she were talking to some cheap ndlord.

  Kaida’s mouth opened and closed a few times—he had actually fotten about that pletely.

  “Okay, Sensei, I’ll ask Aunt Hae about this, but I’m sure she’ll agree.”

  “Okay then, now let me tell you what kind of deep and profound bullsh*t trouble you’ve gotten yourself into. That jutsu you’re trying to learn is not a sisu but a colle of three jutsu together.

  The first one is the Strength of a Hundred Seal. This seal stores a small amount of your chakra daily, and a very precise and delicate chakra trol is needed for this seal—by both the one who is making the seal and the one on whom the seal is being made. This is also the seal the fuinjutsu grandmasters will make on your body.

  The sed is Yin Seal Release. This will release the chakra stored in the first seal. Seal marks will cover your body, providing you with chakra to heal yourself. This will also be doh the grandmasters’ help, but you will py a major role in the process.

  And stly, Creatioh—a jutsu created by Lady Tsunade herself. This jutsu uses a very rge amount of chakra but has the capability to heal any injury, no matter how lethal. One could say you’ll bee semi-immortal after you activate this jutsu. But this is the most gruesome part, and the final ce for you to back dow time,” Mitsuru said.

  “?”

  “In this part, you’ll have to suffer injuries to each part of your body and thehose injuries yourself. The healing seal will be made to perform that same thing once chakra is provided, s battle, healing will bee automatic. But you’ll have to heal yourself while feeling the pain of various injuries to get the actual method of healing since, during a fight, you WILL feel pain from your injuries. So we ’t risk giving you painkillers,” Mitsuru tinued.

  ‘That is just pure torture—inflict all types of wounds on yourself, your muscles, boendons, lungs, liver, heart… and the list goes on. I may die from the pain,’ Kaida thought.

  Mitsuru saw the fear in Kaida’s eyes, and that erfectly natural response. Evehought of getting all those injuries is enough to cause fear in the heart of any living being. But to Mitsuru’s surprise, Kaida’s eyes regaiheir resolve very soon.

  “I’ll do it, Sensei,” Kaida said, while his thoughts were, ‘I’ve ied too much time in this to back off now just because of some temporary pain. I surely bear this much pain,’ not knowing h these thoughts were.
