Chapter 115: New Daily Training
After Tsunade left, she didn't
return until the evening. By that time, Kiba had already sat down, looking at
the stars in the sky, panting and lost in thought.
Three hundred punches, three hundred side kicks, and
one thousand two hundred squats and push-ups. I couldn't run 20,000 meters.
Adding the strange power training
to his daily routine while in Life Gate mode, Kiba's physical strength was
exhausted so quickly that he felt like the endurance he had built before
learning the Eight Gates suddenly vanished. He felt like he had returned to his
pre-training state, where a few punches would leave him drained.
As a result, the crack on the rock
pillar widened a bit, but Kiba doubted whether this rock pillar was stone or
iron. A side kick or a single punch from the strange power in Life Gate mode
should have shattered it.
However, the rock pillar only
developed a slightly wider crack. Kiba almost thought that, except for the
first punch, he hadn't used any strange power afterward.
It took nearly seven or eight
hours to finish the three hundred strange power punches and side kicks. He just
completed the 1,200 squats and push-ups because these two exercises couldn't
include strange power training, so he prioritized them afterward.
These three hundred strange power
punches and kicks also exhausted his Life Gate mode several times. The real
time-consuming part of this training was the time he needed to rest after
exhausting his physical strength in Life Gate mode.
Now he was utterly exhausted.
Besides sitting slumped on the ground, leaning against the rock pillar, Kiba
couldn't lift a single finger.
Moreover, he was hungry. At noon,
seeing that Tsunade hadn't returned for a long time, he went back to the
village and bought two Konoha extra-large steamed buns with all the money he
had. During training, he used them as emergency food to replenish his physical
strength and chakra. Otherwise, according to the rest time required for the
Life Gate mode, it would have taken more than seven or eight hours to complete
the 300 strange power punches and kicks.
However, Kiba knew this
cultivation method wouldn't work in the long run. If there were no better way,
supplementing his physical strength with military ration pills might severely
impact his future development.
Military ration pills were
emergency food designed to relieve temporary hunger and thirst and replenish
physical strength and chakra. However, they lacked nutrition. Eating them as
regular meals three times a day would be extremely detrimental to the growth of
Kiba's seven-year-old body, leading to malnutrition and even severe stunting.
This was why the ninja stores in Konoha limited the sale of military ration
pills to only five per week for ninjas under the age of fourteen.
Kiba had already consumed his
week's share today.
"Alas..." Thinking of
this, Kiba sighed. "It's really hard to be a hero without money. I miss
the bento made by Kushina, rich in nutrition and very filling. Alas, now that
I've run out of money again, I need to save up to buy higher-standard training
props... There's really no way to think of it now."
Kiba looked at the stars, a wry
smile on his lips.
How about borrowing some from Hirohiko and Yukina?
Both the Uchiha and Hyuga families
were well-known clans. Even without doing missions, they had plenty of pocket
money. Hirohiko's ninja tool bag was always well stocked with various ninja
tools. The same went for Yukina's, and she even had pocket-sized bombs costing
500 ryo each. That amount could buy five Konoha extra-large steamed buns.
However, even if I borrow money from them, it
wouldn't feel right... It's better not to involve too much money to avoid any
unpleasantness...
Kiba shook his head, dismissing
the idea.
Then he thought and thought until
his head was about to explode, but he still couldn't come up with a solution.
At that moment, a figure flashed
before Kiba's eyes. Tsunade's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, but
Kiba couldn't move and could only look at her with tired eyes.
Tsunade's face showed slight
surprise.
Unexpectedly, the child is still here. I thought he
had left and returned on his own! Fortunately, I came to check; otherwise, he
wouldn't have known when to go back.
Wait a minute, the sweat on his body hasn't dried
yet. Could he have been training until just now?
Thinking this, Tsunade glanced at
the rock pillar again. The crack had widened significantly, and her eyes filled
with incredulity.
Can this special rock pillar be hit with such a big
crack on the first try? The child's chakra volume, even with a full-strength
blow, would only create a small crack... How many punches with strange power
has he thrown? And the crack on the side of the rock pillar, was it kicked out
from the side? He must have thrown over 200 punches and kicked more than 200
times to achieve this level...
"Kiba, how much training did
you do?" Tsunade couldn't help but ask.
"Three hundred punches and
side kicks," Kiba answered truthfully, thinking it might affect his future
training plan.
Three hundred! Tsunade's pupils shrank slightly.
"And twelve hundred squats
and push-ups."
What! He did other training too? In other words,
besides eating, this child has been training the entire time, and even eating
must have taken a very short time, with rest periods not exceeding 20 minutes!
What's more, it's training based on his self-control
without anyone's supervision! What perseverance!
Tsunade was shocked. She had seen
many hardworking ninjas, but very few worked as hard as Kiba. However, her
expression didn't change as she said, "There's nothing wrong with working
hard, but you should also take care of your body."
This kind of training is too reckless!
Tsunade finally defined it.
Strange power requires extracting a large or even
huge amount of chakra instantly for explosive attacks. When chakra bursts out,
it puts a certain load on the muscles. Excessive use will cause muscle weakness
or even damage.
Although Kiba's body is strong enough to handle the
eight gates and the four gates, continuing like this will definitely not be
good.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Kiba
smiled and said, "I understand, Tsunade-sama."
Tsunade frowned slightly.
This kid didn't listen to me at all. No! I need to
make a training plan for him. I can't let him mess around like this!
Really, this child made me worry on the first day!
Since he is a genius, he should take good care of his body and be lazy once in
a while! The body is the most important thing!
Thinking of this, Tsunade sighed
and asked Kiba helplessly, "Can you still walk?"
Her tone was quite soft.
Looking at Tsunade, Kiba smiled
embarrassedly and said, "I can't walk anymore."
His tone was quite awkward and
slightly embarrassed.
Then, even more embarrassingly,
his stomach growled. Immediately, Kiba's face turned red.
Haven't you had your supper yet, kid? What time is
it!
"Hey..." Tsunade shook
her head and sighed, then asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Grilled... meat?"
Seeing Tsunade's expression, Kiba asked tentatively. He was not only hungry but
also a bit gluttonous.
Hearing this, Tsunade smiled and
said, "You are so impolite!"
As she said that, she picked up
Kiba, obviously agreeing to his request for grilled meat.
Regarding this, there was no
embarrassment on Kiba's face at all, and the probing look just now disappeared.
When it came to meat, he seemed to
have a thicker skin.
The sound of the wind rustled past
his ears as Tsunade rushed toward the village with Kiba on her back.
