"Fire Release · Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Fire Release · Fire Dragon Bullet!"
"Earth Release · Earth Flow Wall!"
"Earth Release · Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Boom—! Rumble—!"
Time passed—
Flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowed—
Explosions echoed continuously throughout the Forest of Death.
The land was blasted into ruin—
Scarred and shattered beyond recognition.
After dispelling her shadow clones—
And absorbing the knowledge from the scrolls—
At Akira's request—
Kurenai created two more shadow clones to assist her training.
One focused on Fire Release—
The other on Earth Release.
Meanwhile—
Her main body sat cross-legged—
Eyes closed in meditation—
Recovering her mental energy.
Akira continuously replenished—
The chakra consumed by her clones.
Every hour—
She would dispel them—
Digest the memories and experience they brought back—
Then create new ones.
Although Kurenai—
As a genjutsu specialist—
Possessed strong mental strength—
With sufficient chakra—
She could still handle the feedback from two shadow clones.
But fatigue—
Was unavoidable.
At this rate—
She could only endure one or two more cycles—
Before collapsing from exhaustion.
"Whoosh—"
Under Kurenai's stunned gaze—
Akira slowly closed his eyes.
In an instant—
His black hair turned into a shimmering emerald green—
Growing visibly.
Green markings appeared around his eyes—
As he entered Sage Mode.
"So handsome…"
Kurenai's eyes sparkled.
She couldn't look away.
At this moment—
Akira seemed impossibly beautiful—
Merged with nature itself—
Radiating an indescribable charm.
"No need to be surprised… this is Sage Mode."
Seeing her staring in a daze—
Akira smiled:
"My chakra already carries strong life force. After refining it into senjutsu chakra with natural energy, it can amplify medical ninjutsu several times—甚至十倍 (even up to tenfold)."
"At the same time, even severe mental damage can be healed—I can restore someone in the shortest time possible…"
"Of course, it can also greatly relieve your mental fatigue, Kurenai-sis."
This wasn't an exaggeration.
In terms of medical skill—
He might not surpass Tsunade in experience.
But in some aspects—
His healing ability had already far exceeded hers.
Because his chakra—
Was inherently unique—
Naturally brimming with life force.
Combined with medical ninjutsu—
Its healing effect was astonishing—
Two to three times stronger than others.
Over the past two years—
Through constant practice during his travels—
His medical skills had greatly improved.
For the same injury—
Using the same technique—
If Tsunade needed five minutes to fully heal someone—
He could do it in under two.
That was why—
Even after only half a month of internship at Konoha Hospital—
He had earned recognition from countless medical staff and patients—
Gaining the title of "Little Medical Saint."
And that was only with normal medical ninjutsu—
Let alone sage-level healing techniques.
Especially with his unique Sage Mode—
The senjutsu chakra he refined—
Contained unimaginable vitality.
Combined with his exceptional medical skill—
He could easily surpass Tsunade, the legendary medical master.
"Whoosh…"
A gentle green glow gathered in his right hand—
Seemingly no different from ordinary Mystical Palm Technique—
Yet within it—
Was terrifying vitality.
He gently pressed his hand—
Against Kurenai's forehead—
After she had trained with two clones for an hour—
Already showing signs of fatigue.
In an instant—
Her exhaustion vanished.
Her mind cleared—
Her senses sharpened—
She felt completely refreshed.
Her ruby-like eyes widened—
Filled with disbelief:
"I've completely recovered… this is just…"
"Your man was born to stand at the peak of the ninja world…"
Exiting Sage Mode—
Akira returned to normal—
Pinching her cheek lightly with a smile:
"Stay calm about it."
"Kurenai-sis… continue."
He converted his chakra—
Recharging her—
And said:
"This time, be bolder… you can create four shadow clones for training."
Based on his judgment—
With his healing support—
Even with more clones—
She wouldn't collapse from exhaustion.
However—
To maintain optimal efficiency—
He didn't let her create too many.
Too many clones—
Would become unstable.
Fourfold efficiency—
Even if clones weren't equal to the original—
The speed was still far beyond solo training.
Combined with his near-infinite chakra supply—
One day of training—
Could rival or surpass months of hard work.
It was enough.
"Mm… Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Kurenai took a deep breath—
Formed hand seals—
And created four clones.
Each went off—
To train Fire and Earth Release techniques.
Time passed steadily—
At noon—
They simply hunted a wild beast—
For lunch.
They never left the Forest of Death.
Kurenai finally experienced—
The joy of "cheat-like training."
Her progress—
Was unbelievably fast.
Having never experienced such a "cheat system" before—
She could hardly believe it.
It even made her uneasy—
Like it wasn't real—
Like a dream.
Even when retrieving her clones—
The overwhelming flood of memories—
Nearly made her collapse from exhaustion.
Yet—
Within just a few minutes—
That fatigue would completely vanish—
Thanks to Akira's sage healing.
This made Kurenai deeply realize—
Just how monstrous her man truly was.
Though she didn't know—
How strong the Third Hokage—
The so-called "strongest Hokage"—really was—
She felt—
Akira could easily defeat him.
