Chapter 143: The Secrets of the Human Body!
In just a week, it became clear that Might Duy's extreme weight training had no effect. It was merely a small setback on Koshino's path in life.
However, when Koshino saw Shikaku appear in his tent, realizing Might Duy's training was useless, his gaze turned icy cold! Such resentment!
If Koshino was still at the level before acquiring the APP, what was a week wasted? He had once spent several months just to master the Shadow Imitation Technique!
But now, with the APP's assistance to accelerate training, and its development function to create new secret techniques, even S-rank level techniques to enhance his power, Koshino had a lot more at his disposal.
There were the secret techniques of the Gale Style to perfect, chakra training, and the spiritual techniques of the Uzumaki Clan to practice.
Was Koshino lacking in ways to become stronger?
No! Not at all!
As long as Koshino could stick to his new training plan, in as little as two years, or at most four, he could break through his current limitations and step into the ranks of Kage-Level powerhouses, becoming one of the few strong individuals in the ninja world!
Moreover, the conflict between Konoha and the Mist Village wasn't over, and Koshino had many things to handle!
Not to mention future matters concerning the Uchiha Clan, there were immediate concerns involving Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin. Koshino needed to gather more intelligence and make more plans to resolve these issues.
After all, the matters concerning Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin might seem trivial.
But it was precisely because of these issues that Obito Uchiha turned to darkness, ultimately leading to the tragic deaths of Koshino's mentor, the Fourth Hokage, and his never-seen mentor's wife, Uzumaki Kushina, during the Nine-Tails' attack!
So, at this moment, Koshino's gaze gradually turned cold, not only blaming himself for wasting an entire week but also harboring a slight resentment towards Might Duy.
In his heart, he belittled Might Duy's "legendary" status due to some negative emotions. "What legend? Just an eternal Genin!"
"Even if he developed the Eight Gates, that doesn't prove Might Duy's guidance was correct!"
"How ridiculous of me, to hold Might Duy in such high regard just because of the Eight Gates!"
"I wasted a week, how laughable!"
"What extreme weight training? What youth? What passion? It's all fake!"
"Forget it, I shouldn't blame Might Duy too much for this. It's just my own overthinking."
"Let's first ask Uncle Shikaku why he's here!"
Thinking to himself, Koshino's cold gaze softened a bit, and he asked Shikaku, "Uncle Shikaku, what brings you here?"
"Just came to check on you! Koshino, I heard you've been training with Duy recently. How's it going?"
"The results?"
Hearing Shikaku's words, Koshino first let out a cold laugh, then began to sense the changes within his body, preparing to give an objective evaluation of Might Duy's training.
Was extreme weight training really ineffective?
Not entirely! As Koshino followed Might Duy's extreme weight training, in just a week, his strength and speed increased significantly.
Moreover, while carrying heavy boxes of war supplies during transport missions, the APP also recognized it as weight training, inadvertently speeding up Koshino's training in Konoha's Strong Fist Style.
So, the week wasn't wasted for him; at least his taijutsu training progressed smoothly.
However, Koshino had too high expectations for Might Duy's extreme weight training, which naturally led to disappointment.
Additionally, while his taijutsu improved significantly, the hidden injuries accumulated in his body were numerous, which naturally lowered his evaluation of Might Duy's training.
How should I put it, having a hidden ailment is always a disadvantage.
If Koshino could ignore his hidden ailment and train as Might Duy instructed, his body would probably collapse in about two years. How could he ever hope to become a Shadow-Level powerhouse?
Then, realizing that Might Duy's training had more drawbacks than benefits, Koshino didn't want to criticize Might Duy in front of Shikaku.
So, he gave a fair assessment of Might Duy's training and began to inquire about the situation between Konoha and the Mist Ninja, preparing to abandon Might Duy's training and focus on solving the issues with Kakashi and his team.
After Shikaku's response, Koshino secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that during Koshino's week of training, Konoha had only completed the battle at the Mist Ninja's second line of defense.
Under Shikaku's leadership, the Mist Ninja's second line of defense held out for quite a while but was finally broken through a day ago.
Unfortunately, just as Shikaku was planning to tackle the Mist Ninja's third line of defense and preparing to advance into the Mist Ninja's main base, some bad news reached his ears, making him feel a bit troubled.
"Koshino, the situation is roughly as I just described."
"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist have appeared at their third line of defense.
We probably need the cooperation of your Blades Squad to successfully break through the Mist Ninja's third line of defense with minimal casualties."
"According to what Might Duy said, Koshino, you only need three days of rest before you can return to the battlefield.
And Uchiha Shisui, codenamed 'Swift,' should also be ready for battle in three days. So, I'm planning to launch the attack on the Mist Ninja's third line of defense in three days."
"But before that..."
"Koshino, I need to treat your hidden ailment a bit to prevent it from affecting your future training!"
"Uncle Shikaku really noticed, huh? Sigh, the drawbacks of Might Duy's training seem to need Uncle Shikaku to address!"
Just as Koshino was checking his body, he realized that following Might Duy's training caused too much harm to the body.
So, when Shikaku said Koshino only needed three days to recover and return to the battlefield, Koshino's first thought was to refuse. After all, recovering from the hidden ailment was the top priority!
Now, with Shikaku personally stepping in, along with the medical ninjas in the Konoha camp, dealing with the hidden ailment was naturally not a problem.
Then, under Shikaku's guidance, Koshino went to Konoha's medical camp.
There, Shikaku used the Nara Clan's secret medicine to relieve Koshino's physical fatigue.
As for the three medical ninjas assigned by Shikaku, they assisted Koshino in recovering from his hidden ailment under the influence of the Nara Clan's secret medicine, aiming to restore him to his peak condition as soon as possible.
During the treatment of his hidden ailment, Koshino remained very calm.
At this moment, Koshino's thought was that as long as he could heal his hidden ailment within three days and compensate for the drawbacks of overloading training, he could understand why Might Duy insisted on becoming a devilish instructor, demanding such "crazy" training.
But sometimes, the outcome of events is often unexpected.
Just as Koshino was still somewhat resentful of Might Duy for wasting a whole week on that "crazy" training, the three medical ninjas treating his hidden ailment suddenly showed expressions of astonishment in their eyes and murmured a few words that made Koshino's eyes slightly narrow!
"Shikaku, how did your nephew train? He has so many hidden ailments, yet they can self-heal?"
"That's right, Shikaku! I've only seen this happen with two people before. Could your nephew be a disciple of that person?"
"Not only can his hidden ailments self-heal, but the speed at which I'm using medical ninjutsu to treat him is faster than treating ordinary hidden ailments!
Might Duy's training method is indeed impressive! It's a pity that such a method isn't suitable for everyone. It seems your nephew has a real talent for training!"
Listening to the murmurs of the three medical ninjas in front of him, Koshino's pupils slightly contracted, and he was stunned!
Especially in the next second, when Koshino met Shikaku's profound gaze, Shikaku's smiling words made Koshino instantly understand Shikaku's intentions and the secret hidden behind Might Duy's overloading training!
"Koshino, according to what Duy said..."
