Time passed quickly.
Kyoichi had been rather busy these past few days.
It wasn't Asuma or Shisui. Those two were fairly self-sufficient. He basically just gave them a few ninjutsu and Taijutsu techniques and let them train and study on their own.
Besides.
As the two of them trained and studied, their proficiency with their own ninjutsu and Taijutsu techniques would also improve.
They had basically become reliable cash cows.
The troublesome one was Kurenai Yuhi.
Medical Ninjutsu really wasn't that easy to teach.
During this period, Kyoichi had sent messages to ask Lady Tsunade for advice, and she had been very cooperative, without the slightest impatience.
That made Kyoichi like the Slug Sage even more—
Of the Three Great Sage Lands, the Slug Sage was probably the easiest to talk to.
He had asked about the secrets of the Monster Strength Technique and mentioned Kurenai Yuhi. Lady Tsunade hadn't replied for an entire afternoon, but when the slug came again, it brought a scroll.
A handwritten Monster Strength Technique!
Kyoichi mastered it very quickly.
His chakra control was already so strong that he didn't need any time to adapt.
However, at his current level, the Monster Strength Technique was still less direct than using a sword—unless it was combined with the Seven Heavenly Breathing Methods.
Of course.
That was only in comparison with Kyoichi's own swordsmanship.
For Kurenai Yuhi, even a preliminary grasp of the Monster Strength Technique was enough to make up for her shortcomings in close combat as a support ninja.
But.
All of that depended on Kurenai Yuhi completely mastering the Mystical Palm Technique.
Fortunately...
"Teacher, I did it!"
"Very good. You can go tell your father the good news. He won't need to put any more fish in the fridge."
A faint smile appeared on
