60. Dumb!!

"I would have preferred spending time with you but you know how difficult training is. Let's meet again and have a spar."

...

Having said that, Reko left after making sure that his clothes did not look suspicious.

Tsume finally peed on the ground, she had been keeping it in for a very long while. She let it all out like squirting.

'It was really hard this time. I could not imagine him beating me this soon.'

Tsume thought, the ground below her was drenched from the mix of love juices. It was lucky that Reko had chosen to do it against the tree and not in open.

At least she had a tree trunk to lean on as she rested. Thankfully, no one caught them in the act.

'I have to clean up.'

After a few minutes of rest, Tsume decided to clean up to make herself look presentable before wearing her trousers. Later, she would be cleaning up thoroughly in the bath at her house.

On the other side,

Reko finally went to his house. The clones were busy studying from the books. He did not wish to create more than two for learning as that would overwhelm his brain from information.

[Chakra: 5580]

The increase in his chakra reserves was also evident.

Before sleeping he decided to disperse the clones.

The memories he got was jumbled but he was able to organise it in a few minutes. A good part of the book was covered by the clones.

Reko predicted that he would be able to finish the studies within a week if the pace of learning remained same.

He was a little behind Sakura for the moment but just a few more days and boom.

...

Waking up, Reko did his daily chores before creating clones for the studies. His shadow clone had leveled up last night, allowing him to create three clones now.

[Shadow clone Level 16.]

He decided to try it out. He had two books to cover which would be covered by the two clones while the remaining clone would focus on training earth nature chakra.

Reko was down to his last 25% of chakra. Even if he could, he still would not decide to make any more clones. Not until he could make clones with intended amount of chakra.

He would slowly get to that level of mastery as he kept training chakra control and shadow clone jutsu.

(At hospital again.)

Reko was waiting for Tsunade to appear as he stood together with Sakura. Sakura however was busy training for the leaf exercise. To Reko's surprise, she had gotten to the same level of proficiency as Reko with it.

Her forehead had red spots, many of them. Probably from leaf reacting badly to chakra?

Reko did not think much about the pink haired kid. He concentrated on the increase of chakra he had from the time with Tsume yesterday.

His total chakra had shot up to 5600. While his 3000 chakra was already called impressive by Jiraya, above Jonin levels.

Even after creating three clones with equally distributed chakra, he still had close to Chunin level of chakra.

"Hey Reko."

Unexpected but Sakura greeted him, Reko expected her to keep training on her own without bothering him.

"Hey."

"How did your training with the new method go? Were you able to do it with ease?"

Straight to the topic, she asked him about his experience with the new training method.

Did she perhaps try it? She seemed to be looking for tips but didn't know how to ask.

"Not really. I am still not able to completely do it."

Reko honestly answered. It was true that he was not able to do it completely. He was still getting the feel for it, unable to do it with the leaf but a wooden plank of 7 kilograms, almost one-tenth of his weight.

Although, the reason behind his slow progress was because he was thinking of the method to find tune his training, and to kickstart his chakra nature training too.

The excess information from his clones tired him, causing him to sleep soon after.

"I don't understand? Either you are able to do it or not. I tried it last night and found it impossible to do. I could not concentrate."

Sakura asked in confusion. Her words were triggering but Reko did not feel annoyed by it. He was able to see the various red spots on her forehead and realised the reason behind it.

That much frustration was justified when you fall headfirst but the other person remains dashingly handsome doing the same stuff.

"Did you try it with a leaf?"

Reko asked her, making it obvious that he was aware why there were marks on her forehead.

"Was that training not supposed to be done against the leaf?"

Sakura seemed confused as she heard the question. She was not done with the first training when Reko aced it.

Was there another instruction behind the training method that she did not get to know and only Reko knew? Did she miss something?

"Use something closer to your body weight and start by decreasing the weight according to your adaptability."

Reko explained his findings to Sakura plainly. So that, she gets to save her time too. With the presence of shadow clone jutsu, he was not scared of being left behind.

"Did lady Tsunade teach you the method?"

Reko did not answer her question. He climbed the walls and stood against the ceiling before using a book in place of the leaf, a heavy book of around 4-5 kilograms.

Sakura seemed dazed at the progress of her senior. He was already down to the weight of books. It was a matter of time before he gets to leaf.

How could she have not realised it? That there could be an even easier method to complete the training.

What lady Tsunade had told them was the end goal. But they actually had to figure out a method by themselves to begin with the training.

Believing that it was something made by Tsunade, Sakura never questioned it. How could she know better than a legendary figure? The pioneer! That was her thoughts which caused her this embarrassing moment.
