Chapter 78 Top-Tier Sparring Partner
Chapter 78 Top-Tier Sparring Partner
whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
That's all for today.
Outside the Forest of Death, Red Stone looked at Matt Day, who was having difficulty getting up, and said...
Akaishi was also in a sorry state...
The coat with the family crest was taken off and placed aside at the beginning. The clothes under Akaishi's clothes were already tattered and torn, and he was covered in a lot of scratches. He was also panting heavily.
Of course, the reason the fight turned out this way was because Akaishi hadn't activated his Sharingan. In fact, later on, he directly asked both of them to completely stop using chakra. Akaishi relied entirely on his unactivated Sharingan's observational abilities and physical strength to spar with his opponent!
"Youth!" Dai shouted as he lay on the ground.
Although Akaishi rolled his eyes, he was very satisfied—as expected, this kind of "actual combat" was completely different from ordinary practice and also different from actual all-out combat. The effect was...very good!
Regular physical training and practicing power generation techniques are the most basic things you need to do.
The intense battle with Lan Wu, where they fought with all their might, was essentially a real-world simulation, honing their physical combat awareness.
However, in this way, restraining other forces and simply practicing physical skills is also a kind of basic training, and it is something that Akaishi lacked before.
Moreover, Might Guy's performance was even better than Akaishi had imagined!
This guy doesn't know any ninjutsu. Just like his clansmen say, his strength isn't even at the level of an average genin, making it difficult for him to complete any missions. Moreover, unlike those skilled in sealing, healing, and sensory perception, few people are willing to team up with a genin who only knows taijutsu. Therefore, he can't even get C-rank missions...
At first, Akashi even doubted whether he could handle the role of sparring partner. He only used him because he was cheap, since he would need at least 10,000 taels to issue missions.
However, Might Guy's physical skills far exceeded Akaishi's expectations!
This was especially evident after Akaishi decided that neither side would use any chakra anymore.
Akaishi used the "massage device" twice during the process until Might Dai completely collapsed—after all, it was agreed that either six hours would be enough or he wouldn't be able to get up, and Akaishi couldn't waste his money.
"Matt Dai, tomorrow you..." Akaishi hesitated halfway through his sentence.
Will this thing be able to recover tomorrow?
"Shall we continue tomorrow?" Might Guy immediately stood up, looking at Akaishi expectantly.
"You...are you okay?" Akaishi looked at him hesitantly.
"Youth!" Dai exclaimed, striking an excited pose.
Akaishi:……
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Chishi.
"Matt Dai, do you not have money to buy medicine?" Akaishi asked directly.
"Well... even though there's no medicine, youth is plentiful!" Might Day said excitedly.
Akashi ignored his idealistic remarks and instead pulled out a handful of plasters and a medicine bottle from his coat.
"Huh?" Might Guy was taken aback when the Uchiha in front of him handed him these things.
"This is a secret medicine of our Uchiha clan. You can only use it yourself and you can't sell it!" Akaishi warned.
When Akaishi went to collect the medicine, he learned that this secret medicine could not be sold to outsiders—it's likely that other Uchiha clans had tried to do so before!
Of course, it's fine for other people to use it.
"I...I understand! Thank you so much!" Might Guy looked at the Uchiha in front of him with gratitude.
The Uchiha clan's secret medicine is of course incomparable to ordinary medicine, especially since Might Guy couldn't even afford ordinary medicine.
"Your chakra... never mind." Akaishi was initially curious as to why his chakra was so weak, but then he thought that since his body was strong, it must be his spirit that was too weak.
"You used those 2000 taels to keep practicing until you couldn't get up anymore, right?" Akaishi confirmed again.
"No..." Dai quickly denied, and before Akaishi could glare at him, Dai immediately said, "I've already taken the Uchiha clan's secret medicine, how can I charge them again... Although 2000 ryo is hardly enough to make up for it, at least... if I have to charge them again, it would be too much for me to bear."
Akaishi refrained from commenting, "What the hell is 'Nowhere Youth'?"
"Okay, the secret medicine I gave you is a month's supply, so let's call that the cost of the next five days of training." Akaishi nodded.
There are only five days left until the rest period before the next mission.
This way, he'll have medicine this month and more than twenty days to go and earn a living by providing paid sparring with others. As a member of the Uchiha clan, he's once again solving the livelihood problem for the village's impoverished households!
Dai said, deeply moved, "Don't worry! I can still... be young!"
As Dai spoke, he prepared to stand up and fight again.
"No, there's no need to force yourself today. Maybe I can help you last longer tomorrow," Akaishi said while refusing.
Akaishi remembered that Ranma had recently been learning medical ninjutsu...
As everyone knows, a medical ninja... even if they don't need to kill anyone, they at least need to have a lot of medical experience!
If you're just a beginner, you'll only be treating minor skin injuries and muscle strains, so... I imagine Lanwu would also need a "sparring partner".
In this way, Dai can persist for longer, and Akaishi's effective training time can also be extended!
After parting ways with Dai, Akaishi went to the Forest Town—the former territory of the Senju clan. Although the Senju clan no longer had "Senju," most of the original "Senju" still lived there.
Akashi usually doesn't want to come here, but this time he really needed to find Lanwu. However, after arriving at the street corner, Akashi realized—I don't know which house Lanwu lives in!
"Huh? Aren't you that Uchiha?" Tsunade's rude voice came from behind.
"Ah! Lady Tsunade... I've come to see Ranma." Akaishi said quickly.
"Hehe, you guessed it." Tsunade said matter-of-factly, then deliberately asked, "You're not thinking of asking Ran out, are you?"
"Of course not!" Akaishi denied it outright, then asked, "Um... Lanwu is learning medical ninjutsu, right? I also need to practice taijutsu these days..."
"I see..." Tsunade seemed to understand immediately. "It's about healing play, right?"
Akaishi:……
"However, Lanwu doesn't theoretically know any medical ninjutsu yet. She can only barely make her Yang-attribute chakra exhibit some medical properties... She definitely needs training, but the healing effect won't be very good. If she needs a sparring partner, she'll suffer a lot," Tsunade reminded her.
"It's okay!" Akaishi said—Matt Dai looks like someone who can endure hardship.
Tsunade immediately revealed a playful expression: "Then you'd better work hard, don't be like your teacher who couldn't even last two and a half days."
Akaashi:? ? ?
It's as if I suddenly learned something incredible.
"Jiraiya-sensei... also practices taijutsu?" Akaishi thought he could ask him about it later.
"I guess so... Anyway, I was training in taijutsu while also training in medical ninjutsu," Tsunade said after thinking for a moment.
Akaishi:……
So Jiraiya-sensei was simply being bullied!
"Lanwu, you've come at the right time. A sparring partner has come to your door." Tsunade saw Lanwu and immediately beckoned her over.
