Adding Ingredients

"Really?" Obito's eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped up in excitement.

The next second, he shrank back into a ball: "Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

He felt a stinging pain all over his body, every cell protesting and crying out, wishing he would just pass out again.

"You can still stand up, you've got a lot of energy."

Sen Chisato stroked his chin, looking him up and down. "It seems you've truly broken through your limits and become stronger. In that case, we can increase the weight of your subsequent training a bit."

Kakashi turned his head away, remaining silent.

He wouldn't plead for Obito. After all, Sen Chisato was doing this for his own good... and this guy was so petty, who knew if he'd get dragged down if he spoke up for Obito.

Obito didn't hear what Senchisato said, his face beaming with foolish joy as he was already lost in pleasant fantasies.

Just then, a pungent smell drifted from the forest.

Obito snapped back to attention, sniffed the air, and frowned. "What's that smell?"

The pungent odor grew stronger, and with a waft of heat, Doctor Nohara emerged from the forest, carefully holding a bowl.

Seeing this, Obito's back stopped aching and his legs stopped hurting. He quickly waved his hands. "Rin!"

"Obito, you're awake." Nohara Rin's eyes lit up, then she put on a stern face. "Your body is exhausted, don't move around, sit down quickly!"

"Heh heh, I slept for a while, and now I'm completely fine. Believe me, look." To prove his words, Obito jumped up and down on the spot.

With every jump, his face twitched, and his whole body was almost rigid, but he still forced a smile.

He didn't notice that Nohara Rin's smile had completely vanished, and her stern face held a hint of anger.

Seeing this, Senchisato shook his head speechlessly.

What was this guy doing?

Did he think this would prove he was fine? Did he think this would make Nohara Rin happy?

She was Doctor Nohara!

A patient jumping around in front of a doctor just to prove they were fine wouldn't make the doctor happy; it would only cause more trouble and make the doctor feel worse and angrier.

This guy didn't even understand what Doctor Nohara cared about.

Even he, with just a minor hand injury, would obediently listen to show respect to Doctor Nohara... so was this guy trying to get a raise?

Senchisato mused.

He quietly stepped forward and poked Obito's waist with his finger.

In an instant, Obito's face turned green, his body tensed, and he collapsed to the ground at an angle like a statue.

"Aoo!" A piercing scream startled a flock of birds in the forest.

Obito sat on the ground with his legs crossed, baring his teeth and demanding, "What are you doing?"

"Helping you prove it," Senchisato replied nonchalantly, looking at the bowl in Nohara Rin's hand. He tilted his chin. "Here, your special meal has arrived!"

Obito turned his head and saw Nohara Rin handing him the bowl, her face stern. "Obito, it's time to drink your medicine."

The pungent smell, along with the heat, entered his nostrils, piercing through his scalp to the roots of his hair. Obito leaned back, feeling as though he was about to cry from the fumes.

"This, this is what you call a 'special meal'!?" he glared at Senchisato, his voice slightly distorted.

After all his excitement, it turned out to be medicinal soup!

Even if it was, he had drunk medicinal soup before, but why did this bowl of medicinal soup smell so terrifying?

"This is what Rin personally brewed for you, filled with Rin's full heart. What, are you going to refuse?" Senchisato asked, raising an eyebrow.

Hearing this, Obito tremblingly took the bowl. After a long pause, he still didn't dare to drink it. He looked up pitifully and asked, "Rin, can I not drink it?"

"No!" Nohara Rin refused decisively, her face full of seriousness.

Obito's face fell. With a final bite of his lip, he gulped down the medicinal soup. As his throat moved, the soup was completely swallowed.

With a "clang," the bowl, still containing traces of the medicinal soup, fell to the ground. Obito clutched his throat, his face turning green, and he collapsed in despair.

Seeing this, Senchisato's lips curled into a smile.

Dare to compete with me?

You're asking for death!

He said to Nohara Rin, "The dosage isn't enough. We'll add another bowl tomorrow."

After a pause, he continued, "We'll add an extra bowl every day from now on."

"If that's the case, Obito won't be able to handle it, will he?" Nohara Rin hesitated. "Besides, we don't have enough medicinal ingredients."

"It's fine. His daily training content will be continuously increased. As for the medicinal ingredients, I'll handle it," Senchisato promised confidently.

Medicinal ingredients were too simple for him. As Orochimaru's disciple, having spent so long in secret laboratories, what medicinal ingredients couldn't he get?

Even if he ran out, he could just find some in the forest.

That's right, he had added something to the medicinal soup Obito was drinking.

It wasn't for revenge; those medicinal ingredients were good stuff. Many of them were very beneficial for the body's repair and growth, making them most suitable for ninjas who constantly trained and broke through their limits.

Sen Chisato hadn't lied to Obito; this was a "special supply meal" prepared just for him, albeit a "Sen Chisato Special Edition."

For this, he had brought out many precious medicinal ingredients from his personal collection, some of which he hadn't even used himself.

Obito was his carefully selected "high-quality seed," so naturally, he had to be meticulously cultivated from a young age.

He wasn't afraid of Uchiha Obito being too strong; he was afraid of him not being strong enough.

The stronger Uchiha Obito became, the more abundant his harvest would be after he was buried!

Of course, in the plan targeting Uchiha Obito, Kakashi and Nohara Rin were also very important.

At least in the grand play prepared for them by Uchiha Madara, Nohara Rin couldn't die too quickly; she had to hold on until he arrived.

So, while Uchiha Obito was unconscious, Sen Chisato sent Kakashi off to train on his own and focused his attention on Nohara Rin.

"How are you doing with those three ninjutsu you've been watching?" Sen Chisato asked, casually sitting on the ground.

"I've finished watching them. I've completely memorized the hand seals, but I can't release them yet," Nohara Rin replied, sitting in front of him with a hint of embarrassment on her serious face.

"Very good. For the time being, you will focus on practicing the ninjutsu that Senior Minato gave you," Sen Chisato instructed.

"Huh?" Nohara Rin looked confused.

"Give me the ninjutsu scrolls," Sen Chisato said, holding out his hand.

"Oh, okay." Nohara Rin quickly produced three ninjutsu scrolls.

Sen Chisato fully unrolled the three scrolls, which recorded the ninjutsu of Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu, Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, and Water Style: Water Body Flicker Technique.

"You want to start by practicing the Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, right?" Sen Chisato asked, pointing to the only fire-style ninjutsu.

Nohara Rin nodded.

Nohara Rin possessed three chakra natures: fire, water, and yang. These three ninjutsu were carefully selected by Sen Chisato and Namikaze Minato to perfectly match Nohara Rin's chakra natures.

Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was C-rank, Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu was B-rank, and Water Style: Water Body Flicker Technique was A-rank!

The ranks here were not related to the power of the jutsu but represented the difficulty of mastering it.

It was precisely because of this that Nohara Rin had intended to start with the simplest jutsu.

Sen Chisato explained, "These three jutsu are mainly to give you self-preservation abilities. At most, they can provide support and assistance at critical moments, not to engage in combat."

"Whether it's the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique or the Water Dragon Jutsu, besides attacking, they also have a certain long-range interference capability, allowing you to have time to distance yourself from enemies. But the one that truly gives you the ability to protect yourself is the Water Body Flicker!"

The Water Body Flicker Technique was obtained by Jiraiya from a Rain Village ninja during the Second Great Ninja War.

This jutsu, which Salamander Hanzo had once used, required only one hand seal to transform oneself into a puddle of water for a short period, simultaneously transferring oneself to a nearby location, thereby evading damage.

It could be said that this was an extremely powerful life-saving ninjutsu, capable of being performed in the shortest possible time even if the enemy had already reached one's side.

After a thorough yet concise analysis and explanation, Nohara Rin finally understood. Her definition of herself, her future responsibilities, her obligations during combat... everything became much clearer.

She nodded and said seriously, "I understand. I will prioritize learning this jutsu!"

"Mhm, let me take a look first, then I'll try to teach you."

Sen Chisato read through the contents of the scroll, shamelessly "freeloading." After understanding the principle and execution process of the jutsu, he slowly began, "First, the principle of this jutsu is as follows..."
