With the one hundred thousand ryo compensation from the Uchiha clan, Aoha truly lived comfortably for a period. Not only did he have sufficient meat daily to replenish stamina consumption, but he also purchased all currently needed training equipment.
However, medicinal ingredient consumption was truly too great. One hundred thousand ryo seemed like much, but one medicinal bath required at minimum five thousand ryo!
Calculating this way, one hundred thousand ryo could at most sustain about 20 days, and this was still ideal conditions.
Regarding this, Aoha couldn't help but begin to suspect the medicinal bath included in [Complete Basic Naval Physical Training Method] very likely lacked universal applicability. How could those lower-level marines possess such financial strength? If the Navy Headquarters paid, annual military expenses would definitely be an astronomical figure!
Perhaps this accompanying medicinal bath was only prepared for wealthy families' children, or second-generation military, geniuses with huge potential.
Such high expenses once made Aoha consider abandoning his previous low plan of 'coasting 5-6 years at ninja academy.'
Who told him he wasn't genuinely wanting to run to Konoha as some undercover agent? In his initial conception, being a mid-to-low-level ninja was best. This way, he'd neither contact important intelligence and missions nor receive excessive attention.
He even considered whether to remain a genin forever. After all, wasn't there such a saying? Konoha's genin were the strongest, with strength exceeding Kage-level!
He also wanted to be a genin with strength more formidable than Kage-level experts.
Because this way, when completing the damn system's death-courting missions in the future, self-preservation ability would greatly increase!
After all, Before Naruto's generation of prodigies rose, who would value a genin?
At a remote location far from Konoha's civilian district, Aoha was currently standing at a wooden post with proper form!
Don't misunderstand. He was just training [Hakuda] techniques.
After all, LV0 [Hakuda] only instilled corresponding training knowledge. Specifically, how to use it, how to apply it in actual combat, still required his own efforts.
Of course, having more skill cards was another matter.
This remote clearing was a feng shui treasure land he'd searched nearby for a long time before discovering.
Because almost nobody came here normally, meaning generally nobody would disturb him, thus also lowering [Hakuda]'s exposure risk.
Though [Hakuda], this taijutsu, would sooner or later be known, delaying one day was one day. When others asked later, he'd appropriately 'display more talents.' After all, taijutsu was originally evolved by predecessors from various movements and techniques. In taijutsu contests, movements were diverse, possessing intense personal characteristics. Even an ordinary Leaf Whirlwind, different people used it differently.
This way, he could completely deflect it to his own talent, saying he randomly trained, training until he self-formed a school.
'Geniuses' always possessed privileges. Thinking of the Second developing those forbidden jutsu, simply terrifying. Even 'resurrecting the dead' was achievable.
Compared to those brilliant predecessors, creating a taijutsu different from 'Gentle Fist' and 'Strong Fist,' more emphasising techniques, wasn't much. After all, those truly valuing taijutsu, treating it as life, numbered very few.
Bang, bang, bang sounds continuously rang through this clearing's centre.
Aoha sweatily followed knowledge in his head, conducting routinised learning.
No helping it. Who told him his foundation was poor? Moreover, 'genius' was just a false pretence. Plus, living two lives, never contacting such combat, so he could only choose this clumsy method. First, making muscles mechanically remember these routine movements and techniques, then slowly breaking them down, eating them into his body, becoming an enemy-confronting instinct.
If able to train to that degree, he felt his [Hakuda] level, even if not maxing out, could improve to a very high degree.
Must say, he truly lacked talents, especially regarding taijutsu.
After practising for over half a month, [Hakuda] still remained at the LV0 level, with seemingly no improvement whatsoever. Or perhaps the damn system didn't acknowledge the host's own efforts.
But Aoha felt this possibility was very unreasonable. He didn't want to constantly rely on the damn system, so he absolutely must prove this path worked. Diligence compensates for weakness!
Rock Lee and Gai already proved this principle wasn't empty talk!
So he attributed all reasons for no level changes to insufficient personal effort!
If not for life being singular, he especially wanted to genuinely court death once, seeing whether, after mission failure, the damn system would actually self-destruct, and whether, after self-destructing, it would implicate him.
Thus, today's bang, bang, bang sounds lasted one hour longer than yesterday.
When Aoha dragged his scar-covered arms, exhaustedly walking home, he truly didn't want to move at all.
But to live well in this strange world, he again gritted his teeth and stood up, beginning skillfully boiling water and throwing medicinal ingredient packets into his purchased bathtub.
After the water boiled, he adjusted the water temperature to 45 degrees. Of course, he just approximated, feeling about this temperature.
Then he immersed his entire self inside, beginning to enjoy the tendon-relaxing, blood-activating, sweat-inducing, pain-relieving, fatigue-eliminating, body-consumption-replenishing process.
The medicinal bath within [Complete Basic Naval Physical Training Method] wasn't some magical formula, nor could a few baths cleanse meridians, exchange marrow, or completely transform.
Perhaps the damn system truly had such items, but at least this medicinal bath wasn't, couldn't achieve it.
Its effective results were maximally replenishing body deficits produced from high-intensity training, and while treating hidden injuries, making every cell vigorous and full of vitality!
A healthy and vitality-filled body was undoubtedly one of the best conditions when laying the foundations.
Plus, LV3 [Inferior Self-Healing Body] occasionally displaying corresponding effects, which made Aoha, even if not some genius, possess a better body foundation than geniuses.
As long as he persisted long-term, Aoha was very certain his body would definitely gradually improve more perfectly!
The only flaw was that during medicinal baths, the process wasn't so comfortable. Rather, there was a needle-pricking pain.
This was a normal reaction when the body absorbed medicinal effects. After the medicinal effects dispersed inside, it'd be fine.
After the needle-pricking sensation had gradually weakened until disappearing, over half an hour had already passed. Only then did Aoha emerge refreshed.
Just soon his small face pulled down...
