Boom!
Lightning flashed and crackled through the trees.
The rain was coming down hard.
Late at night, in the middle of the storm, Yamanaka Hui, Nonou, and Hyuga Ruri were all fast asleep.
Outside the protective barrier, the thirty Blood Mist Ninja, including Kurosuki Raiga, were also dozing lightly.
Without anyone realizing it, something strange was beginning to happen.
Darkness... raged in Ringo Ameyuri's room.
Someone seemed to be pulling at her hair, grabbing the parts that looked like rabbit ears. Her head was being shaken back and forth roughly.
She tried to fight back against the pain, but she couldn't move.
She felt like she was... suffocating.
Time passed... a long, long time...
The storm began to weaken, and the first light of dawn started to appear.
As the last shadows of night were about to disappear, the terrible struggle finally stopped.
Tch... !
"Ugh~!"
The last heavy drops of rain fell, and then... the storm completely ended, and the dark shadow quietly vanished...
"...Cough cough... Cough cough cough!!!"
Ringo Ameyuri coughed and gasped for air.
Only when the shadow was completely gone from the room and the first rays of sunlight streamed in, was she finally able to stop coughing.
"Haa..."
She took a deep breath, staring up at the bright ceiling.
Lying in bed, Ringo Ameyuri's mind wandered.
In the end, she could only sigh quietly, "What a... weirdo..."
----
Morning arrived.
Nonou woke up.
The sun was already shining brightly outside.
She had slept very well last night.
Medical Ninjutsu really takes a lot of Chakra.
So... it made sense that she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.
However, the fact that she could sleep so soundly while surrounded by enemies had to be because of Young Master Sarutobi Ryo.
Just seeing his confident face made her believe he could do anything. It was truly reassuring.
After getting washed up, Nonou went to Ringo Ameyuri's room.
"Good morning, everyone..."
Everyone gathered together, and a new day began.
"You... didn't sleep well last night?" Nonou asked, a little confused after looking at Ringo Ameyuri.
"..."
Ringo Ameyuri just rolled her eyes.
Of course, Nonou had no idea what had happened during the night.
She used her Medical Ninjutsu to examine Ringo Ameyuri's body, coming to the same conclusion as yesterday.
"Ringo Ameyuri, from the Land of Water, condition improved from critical, height 1.43 meters, sub-healthy..."
After examining her for a while, Nonou stood up and brought Ringo Ameyuri a water bottle.
"I don't want it."
As a patient, Ringo Ameyuri grumbled quietly.
"Anyway, I'm not thirsty... or hungry..."
Nonou didn't pay much attention and started another round of treatment.
"..."
Sarutobi Ryo watched them both, then turned his gaze towards Ringo Ameyuri.
In front of his right eye, a system message appeared clearly.
[Inject Will of Fire into Ringo Ameyuri]
[Current progress: 30%! ]
----
Over the next two days.
The group continued with their routine.
Ringo Ameyuri's physical condition improved quickly, showing off Nonou's amazing Medical Ninjutsu skills.
After all, Kabuto's Medical Ninjutsu in the original story was also very impressive, and Nonou had taught him.
Even in Konoha, Nonou's Medical Ninjutsu was very powerful.
Only Princess Tsunade and a very few others had medical skills that were better than hers.
With plenty of wild food and Soldier Pills, Sarutobi Ryo's training was improving rapidly.
He had spent a week learning to control Steel Release.
Now, he was really starting to take off, only needing to keep practicing and master his Steel Release Kekkei Genkai.
Sarutobi Ryo also continued his Body Art training.
He couldn't use the Shadow Clone cheat method to train his physical strength, but even so, Sarutobi Ryo, relying on his own strong willpower, continued to push himself, making progress through hard work.
It would be difficult for a normal Ninja to keep up with such intense training.
In the entire Hokage series, only Might Duy (Might Guy's Father), Might Guy and Rock Lee had such a strong dedication to Body Art training.
But Sarutobi Ryo had one more advantage than those three.
The system.
Because as long as his "right eye" looked at his body, he could see the thermal imaging showing how much hotter he was getting, increasing more and more intensely at a rate he could see with his own eyes...
Sarutobi Ryo could keep going.
This positive feedback, where he could immediately see and be rewarded for his efforts, was the best motivation.
If a person could see exactly how much progress they were making, even measure it accurately, who wouldn't be able to keep going?
As time went by.
Sarutobi Ryo's strength grew more and more.
In Hyuga Ruri's Byakugan, the amount of Chakra in Sarutobi Ryo's body became higher and higher, and the "membrane" on the surface of his skin became thicker and thicker.
Bang!
Sarutobi Ryo threw a punch.
A faint white light appeared around his fist.
In Sarutobi Ryo's eyes, everything seemed to slow down.
The way he was standing, the speed of his punch, and every tiny detail.
Even the drops of dew falling from the tree branch above his head were clear and easy to see.
It was like the camera lens had been set to slow motion.
Rumble!
The thick tree in front of him was hit by the punch, and the trunk exploded.
A huge hole appeared, and cracks spread out everywhere.
At that moment, Sarutobi Ryo had a sudden realization.
Focusing all his attention, he naturally unlocked a new ability of his right eye.
A waterfall of data flashed across the front of his right eye.
Finally...
[Will of Fire System...]
[New function loading...]
[Dynamic vision module... activated!]
"..."
Still in his punching stance, Sarutobi Ryo froze for a few seconds.
He wasn't spacing out, of course.
Instead, he was focusing on the new function.
Dynamic vision, also known as reflexes.
It is a basic skill for a Ninja.
A simple example shows how important dynamic vision is.
Before Kakashi had the Sharingan, when he used Chidori to rush forward at high speed, he couldn't clearly see his own attack or the enemy's counterattack.
That's why Namikaze Minato told Kakashi in the original story not to use that Ninjutsu again, because it would definitely lead to death.
It wasn't until Kakashi had Obito's Sharingan that Chidori was perfected.
The reason was that Kakashi didn't have the dynamic vision of the Sharingan or Byakugan.
And the Flying Thunder God Technique requires reflexes that are several times, even dozens of times, faster than Chidori.
Namikaze Minato could even avoid the Fourth Raikage Ai's extreme speed on his own.
From this, it's clear that Namikaze Minato's talent was much greater than Kakashi's.
Therefore... the importance of dynamic vision/reflexes is obvious.
"..."
Sarutobi Ryo pulled back his fist and looked around.
The Blood Mist Ninja outside the barrier immediately became nervous. After all, the power of that punch had been terrifying.
"..."
Sarutobi Ryo looked away.
With just a glance, he realized that his dynamic vision had increased several times.
"It's almost time to head out..."
