After a quick talk with Hyuga Tetsu, Hanano set out to gather the medicinal ingredients Reiki had listed. Acquiring them wasn't easy—some were available only through certain families, requiring negotiation and more than just money. It wasn't until noon the next day that she returned home, carrying the ingredients.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
"Who would come at this time?" Hanano wondered, giving the ingredients to Tetsu before heading to the gate.
There, a middle-aged man introduced himself. "Hello, Lady Hanano. I am a merchant from Konoha, sent with a commission for Reiki, along with some special medicinal materials he requested."
"Reiki?" Hanano began, but before she could answer, Reiki appeared.
"I'll handle this, Hanano-sama," he said calmly.
Turning to the merchant, Reiki handed over several scrolls. "Deliver these to President Sanada. Tell him the next batch of potions is nearly ready for sale."
The merchant nodded, taking the scrolls and departing. He muttered as he left, "Poor young man, working himself to exhaustion…"
Hanano watched Reiki with concern. When she had turned to greet him earlier, she'd been taken aback by his appearance. The cheerful, confident young man she knew had looked like a ghost, drained and weary. Now, seeing his calm demeanor restored, she couldn't help but feel perplexed.
"Tetsu," she asked after the merchant left, "is it difficult for Reiki to treat this condition?"
Meanwhile, inside the house, Reiki allowed his "fatigued" look to fade. The act had been deliberate; he knew that sometimes healing required a bit of theater. By appearing exhausted, he emphasized the weight and importance of his treatment—a show of the care and effort he invested in healing the Hyuga family.
Observing Hyuga's transformation was essential. "Given his long experience with the Byakugan, Hyuga should experience stronger feedback than Tetsu did. This process might last three days," Reiki noted as he monitored Hyuga's progress. If all went well, this could signal a new era for the Hyuga clan.
In those days of observation and quiet practice, Reiki took stock of his own progress. He glanced at his system panel:
**Host:** Reiki [8 years old]
**Ninjutsu:** Thunder Release, Fire Release, Healing Techniques, Sword Skills
**Bloodline:** Wood Release, nearly mastered
**Tailed Beast:** Nanao Jumei
**Chakra:** Solid chakra reservoir with immense potential
**System Functions:** Healing enhancement, portable storage, advanced body-building potions
With a body-building potion in hand, Reiki continued his own training. The potion sped up his physical development significantly. Shizune and Kurenai also showed remarkable improvement after taking their medicinal baths.
However, Reiki knew that distributing these potions publicly could draw unwanted attention, particularly from the likes of Sarutobi Hiruzen or even his teacher, Tsunade. For now, it seemed wiser to reserve them for internal use within trusted circles.
Three days later, the door to Hyuga's room creaked open. Hanano and Tetsu rushed to him.
"Shh…" Hyuga raised a hand to silence them, looking more composed and powerful than ever.
"Reiki-sensei is resting now," Hyuga explained quietly. "Let's not disturb him. If you have questions, let's talk outside."
In the courtyard, Hyuga addressed them both. "Hanano, I know you have questions. But I assure you, I am not only fine—I've been greatly enhanced."
He raised his hand, and a concentrated ball of chakra appeared instantly, shifting properties as he manipulated it.
This newfound strength was more than physical—it was a breakthrough that might change the Hyuga clan's future forever.
