Kaida’s days of torture began. For the 15 days, his body was subjected to a grueling routine: eaew an within him was cut, maimed, and burned, f him to heal while enduring immense pain.

  This was a level of pain he’d never experienced before. The normal pain of cuts or even broken bones was manageable, but the pain of internal an damage was somethiirely different. His brain wasn’t prepared to process it all at once, especially when they reached his heart. Kaida nearly died from a heart attack, and Mitsuru had to leave everything to help him survive. She even suggested skipping the heart and fog on other parts.

  However, Kaida khat would leave a weakness. He was determio give it one more try, unlike ese novel protagonists who recklessly endaheir lives for a little extra power. His life wasn’t teically in danger, so he decided to push through.

  With his body now aced to the procedure, he was able to ehe sed round of heart torture and plete it successfully.

  One ued be of this suffering was an increase in his pain tolerance. In previous fights, Kaida always had the upper hand, so he’d never had to suffer major injuries. This meant he’d never had to fight while in pain. But he khat wouldn’t always be the case, so having high pain tolerance would allow him to think clearly in dire situations.

  With this ued gain, Kaida’s days of torture ended o day of the month, marking the pletion of his training for this jutsu.

  “Finally, it’s plete. You’re a monster brat. I took 3 months to plete this, even with Lady Tsunade’s help,” Mitsuru said.

  “Then maybe you’re better than Lady Tsunade,” Kaida replied weakly. No matter how many times the procedure happened, he always felt a mental fatigue afterward.

  “I wish,” Mitsuru said. “I really think the vilge should forcefully add Uchiha to the medical division. Having a Sharingan and not using it for medical jutsu should be a crime.”

  Kaida had used his Sharingan throughout the process. The result was not only his record-breaking healing time but also the precise amount of chakra used to heal eajury. This would be beneficial when using the Mitotic Regeion jutsu, as there would be no wasted chakra during the healing process.

  “Sensei, when will we start the part?” Kaida asked. Now that the most painful part was over, he was eager to plete the jutsu as soon as possible.

  “I’ll ask the grandmaster when they’re free and schedule an appoi. You rest at your home until then,” Mitsuru said.

  “Okay, Sensei,” Kaida said, standing up. Befoing home, he suddenly bowed to Mitsuru.

  “Thank you for helping me so much, Sensei,” he said. There was no need for Mitsuru to do this much. Even though she had said she would reward him with a jutsu, what Kaida asked was a bit excessive. It was like asking for an S-rank jutsu for a simple reward.

  But Mitsuru didn’t back down from her word and actually helped him. Kaida was truly thankful for that.

  Seeing Kaida suddenly bowing and thanking her, Mitsuru just smiled and waved her hand, dismissing him.

  ...

  Kaida returned home, but he was alone. Hae was at the bathhouse with Shisui because a big noble from the Fire Capital was visiting today. Yomi had taken Naruto out for ramen. He knew all this because they had left a note in the dining room along with some food.

  ‘I also want to eat some ramen,’ Kaida thought and headed to Ichiraku Ramen.

  ...

  “I also want a regur bowl, Ayame,” Kaida said, sittio Naruto, who was already on his sed bowl of ramen. Yomi was also eating her sed.

  “Both of yoing to get fat if you eat this much,” he said. Ayame just chuckled a inside while Yomi and Naruto looked to the side and tinued eating.

  “So is it finally over?” Yomi finally started speaking when her bowl was empty.

  “Yes, now we only need some help, and I’ll finally learn my first S-rank jutsu,” Kaida said.

  “That’s great,” Yomi said with a smile.

  “Why did you decide to e here all of a sudden then?” Kaida asked as their bowls arrived.

  “My Sensei sent a message that we’re leaving for a month for border training. I won’t be able to eat such things for 1 month,” Yomi said, diving into her third bowl.

  “So yoing to leave?” Kaida said slowly, then started eating his bowl too.

  Naruto had been fog on his ramen bowl all this time. There was nothing he could add to their versation, so he just decided to focus on his food.

  “Yeah,” Yomi said.

  “When are you going to go?” Kaida asked.

  “A day after tomorrow. It’s so sudden, right?” Yomi asked.

  “Let’s go out tomorrow. I wao try something out,” Kaida asked Yomi for a date in a very simple and i way.

  “Oh! Are you asking me for a date?” Yomi asked, not wanting to lose this opportunity.

  “Initially, I wasn’t, but it’s a nice idea. Yomi, do you want to go on a date with me?” Kaida asked, making eye tact with Yomi. Normally, Yomi might have blushed at this point, but she had kind of gone numb to these types of Kaida’s antics due to living with him for so long.

  “Maybe. I’ll tell you after thinking,” Yomi said a back to eating her ramen, but Kaida could see a small amount of blush on her cheek along with a small smile.

  “Then I’ll be waiting for your reply,” Kaida said, and he also focused on his food.

  ...

  Kaida luckily got a message from Mitsuru that they would be pleting the jutsu after 3 days. He actually fot about this when he asked Yomi for the date. It would have been embarrassing to fix a date and then have to say he was busy.

  Now, with no surprise, Yomi graciously agreed to go on a date with Kaida the day. They did some shopping, went on aing spree, and theo a park to rex.

  “When are you going to e back?” Kaida asked at the end.

  “I don’t know. Sensei said that we will stay there until the new part of the sensor is repced. We may have to stay there for a full month before we e back, or we may e ba one week,” Yomi said.

  “Is the ma so bad? How the hell don’t they even know when the rept will e?” Kaida asked frustratingly.

  “Oh! Are you already missing me?” Yomi teased Kaida a little.

  “Yeah, but that’s not the reason I’m saying that. This just shows how mismahe whole situation of those outposts is. They’re not actually safe at all,” Kaida replied.

  “There will be 50 plus ninja guarding that outpost along with 5 Jonin. If that outpost is not safe, no p Fire try other than Konoha is safe,” Yomi said, trying to calm Kaida down.

  “Yeah, I’m just being immature,” Kaida added.

  “And I like that,” Yomi said, giving Kaida a shoulder bump.

  And that’s how their small date came to an end.
