"Can you listen to me before you start crying?"

"Who the hell told you that Uncle Dai is going to die?"

Uchiha Genji rubbed his temples with his fingers, feeling a sharp pain in his trigeminal nerve.

Sure enough, as a normal person, he really couldn't understand the brain circuits of Might Dai and his son.

He felt that if he stayed with them for too long, he might actually die of exhaustion.

"Eh?"

Might Dai and Might Guy immediately stopped crying upon hearing this.

Then, the two of them looked at Uchiha Genji in amazement and asked in unison, "Didn't you say that?"

Uchiha Genji clenched his fists as veins bulged on his forehead. "I only said that it's a miracle Uncle Dai is still alive with these injuries. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died a long time ago. When did I say he was going to die?"

Might Dai and Might Guy blinked in confusion.

So… he wasn't going to die?

They had misunderstood!

Uchiha Genji saw their realization from their dim yet sincere eyes and immediately rubbed his brow helplessly. Waving his hand, he said, "Anyway, there's still hope. Guy, move aside. I'll give Uncle Dai some preliminary treatment. Full recovery will require additional methods over time."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Might Guy immediately jumped off Might Dai and stepped aside quickly.

Only then did Uchiha Genji begin the serious process of treating and adjusting Might Dai's condition.

This time, it was much harder than treating Might Guy.

More than three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Hah… It's stabilized for now!"

Uchiha Genji let out a long breath of relief. His face was slightly pale as he withdrew his hands and wiped the sweat off his forehead, nodding to Might Dai and Might Guy.

This treatment had really drained him.

Whether it was his spiritual power, chakra, or innate energy—he had expended a considerable amount.

Chakra wasn't a major issue, as he now had an enormous reserve within his sea of consciousness. His spiritual power wasn't lacking either, but he had used up a great deal of innate energy.

He would need some time to meditate and recover.

But the real exhaustion was mental fatigue.

Focusing so intensely for several hours, even with his vast reserves of mental strength, was still exhausting.

"Wow… I really do feel much lighter and more comfortable!"

Might Dai sat up, moved his body, then gave Uchiha Genji a big thumbs-up in amazement. "As expected of you, Genji! No wonder the village calls you a medical ninjutsu prodigy. Your reputation is well deserved!"

Might Guy looked at his father in surprise. "Father, how do you feel?"

Might Dai immediately nodded but before he could speak, Uchiha Genji cut in with a blank expression. "Of course, he's not fully recovered yet!"

Might Dai and Might Guy immediately looked over.

Uchiha Genji continued, "This was only a preliminary treatment. Uncle Dai is different from you, Guy. His hidden injuries have been accumulating for decades. Combined with the vitality loss from using the Eight Inner Gates, he will need at least ten more treatments. With the help of medication, it will take around half a year for a full recovery."

"Even then, some of the lost vitality and lifespan cannot be restored."

Unless Uchiha Genji was willing to expend a large amount of his innate energy—and even then, he would have to sacrifice some of his own vitality to heal Might Dai completely.

But obviously, their relationship hadn't reached that level yet.

Maybe in the future.

Might Dai and Might Guy fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

Then, Might Dai showed a relieved smile and gave Uchiha Genji a thumbs-up. "That's good enough! Sorry to trouble you!"

"It's fine!"

Uchiha Genji waved his hand. "But this is just a temporary fix. The root cause of your injuries is an improper training method and the flaws in the Eight Inner Gates technique. If you're willing, can you show me the Eight Inner Gates training notes?"

"I'd like to see if I can develop a more effective training method for you. Maybe I can even improve the Eight Inner Gates itself."

This was one of his main objectives all along—to explore the full potential of the Eight Inner Gates.

"No problem at all!"

Might Dai nodded without hesitation. He took out a worn-out scroll from his pocket and handed it to Uchiha Genji with a smile. "Then I'll leave it to you!"

There wasn't a hint of hesitation or doubt in his actions.

To him, the Eight Inner Gates wasn't some treasured secret.

He figured a genius from a powerful family like Uchiha Genji wouldn't even be interested in such a dangerous and incomplete forbidden technique.

If Might Guy had been born with more natural ninja talent, Might Dai wouldn't have wanted his son to follow his same path with the Eight Inner Gates.

Even now, Might Dai had been refining the training method through trial and error, hoping his son could go further than he ever did.

"Uncle Dai, are you really okay with entrusting this technique to me so easily? Do you realize its value?"

Uchiha Genji asked with a smile as he took the scroll.

Might Dai shook his head and said seriously, "In my eyes, this technique isn't that valuable. It's far less precious than the kindness you've shown me and Guy by healing us."

"Besides, I believe that you genuinely want to help us."

He had spent years enduring ridicule and hardship, long enough to clearly see the true nature of people.

Was Uchiha Genji sincere in his intentions? Might Dai could tell.

Never underestimate the intuition of an honest man forged through years of hardship.

Uchiha Genji nodded slightly and quickly read through the contents of the scroll, memorizing it completely.

Then, under Might Dai's puzzled gaze, he handed it back and explained with a smile, "I've already read and recorded everything. It might take some time to fully analyze."

"In the meantime, I'll write a prescription for you, Uncle Dai. You can take it to the Uchiha clan's secret pharmacy. You don't need to pay right now—just consider it a loan from me."

"Follow the prescription for a few months, and your body will recover significantly."

"Guy, for now, focus on basic taijutsu training. You can also use the Exercise Pills, but do not combine them with the Eight Inner Gates yet."

"Wait until I've finished refining the technique."

Reckless training would only lead to unnecessary injuries.

As he spoke, he ignored Might Guy's hesitation and handed them a large bottle containing hundreds of Exercise Pills.

"Alright! I'll leave it to you, Genji!"

"Also, thanks for the Exercise Pills. I owe you more and more…"

Might Dai and Might Guy bowed deeply, moved by his kindness.

No one had ever treated them this well before.

Uchiha Genji quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Might Dai, reminding him again, "Remember to visit the Uchiha Secret Pharmacy."

"Understood! Thank you! Thank you!"

Might Dai accepted the prescription with teary eyes.

Such a good person!

"Alright, that's enough for today! I'll be off now!"

Uchiha Genji had reached his limit for dealing with their dramatics, so he left immediately.

Five days later…
