Reko glanced at the silhouette of a man walking towards them. It was Genma. Reko had seen him a lot during these two months.
…
"Is it just us two going?"
Gemma respectfully asked Tsunade. It seemed that he was expecting something bad to happen, perhaps a battle. Or maybe he liked going to mission with his buddies only.
"Yes, only you two. The chances of battle are very low as long as something unexpected doesn't happen.
The location of the hideout also happens to be outside of the five major villages. This would ensure that you would not get in conflict with anyone above your strength level."
Tsunade assured the safe nature of the mission. It was not risky, just an A rank and the chances of battle were really low.
"I can take a rest right?"
Done healing his chest, Reko turned to Tsunade as he asked. He had been out in this forest for two months. No proper sleep! No proper food! Nothing!!
He could not just go on a mission after this long torturous training session.
"Sure. You have time until dusk."
Tsunade approved for a break. Although, the break time was only enough for sleep or a good meal and rest.
'Just a few hours of sleep? I need to rest, eat, and then relax after so much trouble. But from her looks, it doesn't seem like I would be able to convince her.
Also, the matter of finding a hideout is also important for me. I could find something useful there. The research by Orochimaru himself is never worthless.'
Although Reko wanted to retort, he was aware that it was going to get him nothing. Tsunade would not budge from her stance.
But a break was a break nonetheless. He needed to quickly get back in his bed and sleep.
After quickly reaching home, Reko had a quick bath, followed by a deep sleep.
It was difficult to sleep comfortably for the first few minutes because of the training he had gone through, but his exhaustion made him give in and he finally fell asleep.
…
After waking up, Reko stretched before beginning to recollect his thoughts. The two months training was very effective.
"I have gained strength. A good amount of battle experience too. Though, the majority of it was me getting beaten, learning to dodge hits, and healing my injuries.
The training is still incomplete. I will be continuing once I finish the mission because the important stuff, Tsunade's personal skill, superhuman strength still remains a secret.
She did not teach us about the skill but there were hints. She specified how important chakra control would become for their next training part.
I am very sure that she will be teaching how to use her super strength this time or that Yin seal."
After the training in forest of death where Reko had to survive Tsunade's beatings and heal a few animals daily, he had grown both in physical stats as well as combat techniques.
During the training, his reflexes had helped him a big amount. He was able to follow up Tsunade's attacks and respond quickly thanks to the dynamic vision.
But the important part was that Tsunade did not teach her personal skills to him.
Sakura was also not taught anything special by Tsunade. The pink haired girl had gone through the same training as Reko, though it was less intense.
Sakura seemed to be always working hard which was obvious because of her numerous weaknesses. She had also grown along with Reko, her healing skill had become top notch because she had to manage her low chakra reserves too.
However, Reko was still above her because of his physique. Not only did he spam shadow clone jutsu like fire release when sparring against Tsunade, he also used them to assist him in healing all the time. Chakra was something he did not lack.
Two weeks ago, he had another break through which allowed him to grow more relaxed. The Senju physique had gone up in level.
He could still recall the sensation of break through. It was something he had accomplished with hard work and training. He felt his body producing chakra, energies aided and healed his body, increasing his stats as a whole.
The quality of his chakra had increased and his body also felt stronger. After checking stats, he confirmed that the feeling was correct. His stats had gone up by base stats of a Chunin.
...
[Senju physique level 2 (6.8%)]
Chakra control : 82%
Endurance : 76%
Regeneration : 50%
…
When Reko had checked the stats, it was no surprise that his physique leveled up. All three requirements for its level up had been trained hard by him, this was bound to happen.
"Is that how Sharingan upgrade feels?"
Reko had wondered this at that moment. How awakening Sharingan, upgrading it, and so on gives overall boosts.
After confirming the increase in his stats he had become complacent. His strength itself had become mid Jonin tier, his endurance reaching high Jonin and the chakra reserves was already above elite Jonins, nearing kage tier.
Tsunade controlled her chakra enough to only break a few of his bones but his endurance was enough to negate most of the damage. Also, his enhanced reflex and vision was finally showing its use with his enhanced physique.
He was still beaten by Tsunade though. She just increased her strength when fighting against Reko. He felt that his base strength was already near Tsunade's but Tsunade had unmatched strength because of her chakra control.
So, Reko was still weaker against her. Her chakra punch was on the level of tailed beast attacks.
But that was not his only achievement. His Shadow clone jutsu leveled up like crazy, and so did the Mystic palm jutsu.
…
[Shadow clone level 77]
Clones : 9
Endurance : 70%
…
[Mystic palm level 85]
…
Even though the system screen showed that he was capable of effortlessly making nine clones, Reko was capable of more if he put his mind to it. He was nearing the levels of multiple shadow clone jutsu already.
The only thing that mattered to him now was the increase in endurance of his shadow clone. The endurance had stopped increasing and it depended on how much chakra he gave to his clone.
Though, he could make a clone with almost 70% of his total endurance if he put more than half of his total chakra into it, making it a great support.
He looked outside the window, realising that the time has come.
"It's time already? I need to reach the village gate."
