It was as if he was always preparing for a do or die situation, always putting in the best effort he could.
...
"Yes! That chakra control is the reason why Sakura is still able to keep up with him."
The chakra control training methods had managed to bring out the best of Sakura. With those methods, she became capable of boosting her recovery as well as increasing her chakra reserves.
"It's good, but I feel sad for the girl. She doesn't show it but she feels inferior and lacking inside."
Shizune sighed, she liked Sakura and wished the best for her. Unfortunately, not many were able to overcome the feeling of inferiority, causing Shizune to worry for Sakura.
"But that is what makes her more hardworking. She is already remarkable, with this pressure from Reko's pace, she is going to become even more hardworking and humble."
Tsunade corrected Shizune, aware of her worries.
"Don't worry. She will not break. She had already decided to train hard for my tutelage and she is no quitter. Reko is only going to motivate her."
She further added, her confident smile showing how much she believed in Sakura.
While assisting in the leaf hospital, Sakura would realise her talent, gaining confidence. This was Tsunade's intent behind sending them to hospital. She wanted Sakura to be aware of her talent and gain confidence.
...
"Five more hours? Alright"
Reko murmured as he talked with Teiro. The shift was tight, and he needed to contribute five more hours to the hospital that is if he wanted to leave at the same time as Teiro. Otherwise, he was free to leave and rest.
Reko was not going to give in. He decided to stick with Teiro, continuing to assist him. Meanwhile, Sakura and the rest were going to take their time off.
'He decided to continue? Well, this is what I had expected.'
Teiro looked at Reko sitting in the place, waiting for Teiro to end his break.
However, Teiro was not surprised that Reko had decided to continue. This was what he had expected already.
Instead, Teiro wished for Reko to continue assisting in the hospital overtime. Because this was his first day.
What about the second day? Would Reko still be willing to push through and overwork like Teiro?
What about the day after that???
Teiro smiled, imagining his victory after today's shift.
Reko, unaware of Teiro's internal thoughts, was busy recovering his chakra, preparing to form another shadow clone to join Momo and Yahiko.
Peacefully meditating as he refined chakra provided a boost to his speed of recovery.
"Shadow clone jutsu!!"
'Again??'
The scene in front of Teiro irked him. Reko had formed a shadow clone to accompany Momo and Yahiko in the other cabin. This caused him to force even more work on Reko.
Slowly, the hours passed and their shift finished.
"Good work, Reko. You did well today."
Teiro appreciated Reko's persistence as they both left the hospital together in night.
...
"Finally, I am home. The shift today was really hard but I had gains."
Reko threw the bag he had to the bed carelessly, sitting on his bed as he rested.
The bag didn't land on the bed but disappeared in to a whiff of smoke instead, dropping a book and a towel on the bed, stored inside it.
"What do we have here...."
The memories from the time of the meeting with Shizune to the time he came back home transmitted to his brain from the bag's perspective.
"I was just experimenting, but this is a surprise."
He had been trying out some of the ideas with shadow clone jutsu. He had made a shadow clone and transformed it into a bag to carry his items. It was a really big bag but a successful experiment.
What he had not expected was that he would witness the medical shinobi Momo in such a vulnerable situation. It was a lucky coincidence.
"She is aware that I was looking at her with those intentions, yet she didn't give me a hint, selflessly playing on her own."
Unable to suppress his desire after seeing Momo's sexy milf body, Reko regretted not making a move.
"A genjutsu would have helped."
Thinking of the so powerful techniques with Sharingan and such, he could not help but desire those genjutsu. That one thing would have made his love life so much easier.
It was already late in the night. Otherwise, he would have visited Sayako or Tsume for relief.
Really tired, Reko decided to get his needed sleep before thinking of his next steps. He still had a few days before completing the training under her.
…
Day 2
Reko had promptly reached the leaf hospital after forming two shadow clones for the training with earth release.
'Is her dress different from yesterday? She looks so erotic today.'
"Did you change your hairstyle mam? You look really beautiful today..."
Reko complimented looking at the tighter outfit which Momo seemed to have put on today. Her curves were literally on display, the ass cheeks as big his entire head each and swayed seductively with each step.
"Do you mean to say I didn't look good yesterday? Am I that old already?"
Momo feigned sadness, internally happy that Reko had noticed and commented positively towards his looks.
"No, it was my shadow clone accompanying you yesterday. I decided to take his place after finding you so captivating."
Reko said implying that shadow clone didn't comment and worked strictly on instructions. But he took its place just to do that.
And it worked like charm, causing the mature woman Momo to smile and blush. Though she laughed it off, playing cool.
He had decided to accompany team Momo this time but that did not mean he would give up on learning under Teiro.
Nope! His shadow clone would still learn from Teiro while Reko accompanied Momo.
…
After spending a few hours working, Yahiko decided that it was time for a break. He went out alone to stroll while Reko and Momo stayed in the cabin.
Sakura on the other hand had decided to switch teams and had gone to learn under Teiro today, leaving Reko and Momo alone.
"What was the problem with that patient? I thought you had proper knowledge of human anatomy?"
Sitting crossed legged provocatively, Momo glanced at Reko resting on the side as she asked him.
