She did not wish for Reko or Momo to be implicated in a scandal. That would be very bad for Lady Tsunade's position.
…
"Ah, refreshing!"
Last night was fun for Reko. He had finally scored another milf and a really seductive one at that.
The time spent with Momo in the cabinet, though short, was really good.
Following the same routine, Reko headed to the leaf hospital before creating a shadow clone with a third of his now total 7000 chakra.
….
[Chakra: 6990]
…
[Mystic palm Level 61]
….
Reko had experienced a big boost in his chakra reserves and the mystic palm jutsu. And with how hard he was working on treatments, he believed that he would be able to learn the advanced methods on his own before Tsunade even taught him, thanks to his mystic palm jutsu rising in level.
"Is my physical strength lacking? My chakra is constantly increasing and will continue to do so. But my physique on the other hand…."
His chakra had increased by leaps and bounds, more than double within a month.
However, his physical strength remained at Jonin level. He did not have enough time to push his body and train physically because of the training in leaf hospital.
With the constantly increasing chakra, he could put his time in learning ninjutsu but not strength training. For that, it would require his real body to train.
"I need to figure out a method to keep working in the hospital while I train my real body."
With the recent increase in Chakra, he believed that he would be able to find a balance and be able to train at home while his shadow clones treated patients.
"Hey Reko. Sorry, I arrived late."
Reko looked at the source of the tired voice, realizing that it was Sakura who had spoken. Her eyes had turned deep and sunken and there remained obvious signs of her exhaustion.
"Hey Sakura. No worries, you are on time. We still have a few minutes before we begin."
'Must have been tired after working under Teiro. He made her work overtime too.'
She seemed exhausted, overworked. But this was to expected from Teiro. Also, Sakura had willingly chosen to continue.
"Oh? They haven't arrived yet?"
Relieved, Sakura asked again to confirm. She had thought that she would be late because she had a really hard time with exhaustion last night. She was almost on the verge of chakra exhaustion but she persisted.
"If you're looking for Teiro then he is in that room already. Momo and Yahiko however are still not here."
Reko pointed in another direction, Teiro had already arrived. It was just the husband and wife duo who were yet to come.
Sakura's face turned sour after knowing that Teiro was already there. Though, she still chose to go to him rather than Momo or Yahiko.
'He is strict and overworks me but still, he is the best for me.'
Under Teiro, Sakura had managed to push herself to the limits, allowing her to push her skill and jutsu higher which she could not under others.
Resolving herself, Sakura went to Teiro once again. She could not be left behind by Reko.
Soon after, Yahiko and Momo arrived and the patient treatment began.
"Let's begin quickly."
Momo instructed, heading to the cabin. She was fully dressed unlike the last day where she only had a lab coat on her.
Reko smiled after seeing her and followed her inside. He had sent a shadow clone to tag along with Sakura as he waited alone for Momo to arrive.
Sadly for Reko, Yahiko did not give him much of the chance to spend some alone time with his wife. The whole day, Reko only worked as instructed and assisted them.
"An uneventful day. I don't think they have anything left to teach me. I just lack experience when compared to them and the theories of high level operations."
He slowly walked out of the hospital after finding that Momo had no interest in showing up today. He had waited for a while but no results.
Reko knew that time was running out. But he was doing his best with hard work. Though not as hardworking as Sakura, he was still exhausting himself a lot.
He was already confident that flesh wounds were nothing to him now. Not as long as he had enough chakra.
He was above the levels of Sakura. Both in chakra control and Mystic palm jutsu. She too, managed to get familiar with the healing, already capable of healing flesh wounds easily.
Reko believed that in the coming few days Sakura would also get to his current level because of her hardworking and competitive nature.
"Well, I did get to test out the limits of my chakra recovery."
Even though he did not get the desired response from Momo, he was satisfied with the shadow clone jutsu and his chakra recovery.
He was capable of making three clones who possessed enough chakra to continue assisting under the medic nins in hospital.
Though slightly reluctant, he decided to not come to the hospital after today and send the shadow clones instead while he trained in strength.
Since there was no difference between him and the shadow clone, it did not matter who learned from the medics as long as the clone had chakra to continue.
'Hmm? Is it just me getting paranoid?'
Suddenly, Reko had a weird feeling that he was getting followed. He was not sure but it was a feeling inside him, making him think that he was being watched as he walked home.
'There seem to be traces but this is a ninja village. Obviously, there would exist many traces.'
As he glanced around suspiciously, he could indeed see the traces. But this was the hidden village full of shinobis. How could there not be traces of shinobis everywhere??
He decided to head home and settle down first before thinking about it.
'I still have the feeling that someone is spying on me, even though I am inside the house.'
Even after he had reached the home, he was still getting that weird feeling. Perhaps because of his heightened senses after so much chakra control training, he was able to vaguely feel it.
*Summoning jutsu!!*
"Elder Giryo?"
Reko thought of calling his summoning as that was the only option he could think of at the moment.
However, his summon did not appear. Instead, it was the giant hamster elder that appeared.
"You kid. This is your house again? Tell me, do you not fight like other shinobis?"
A six feet tall, human like hamster crossed his hands and asked Reko with a confused face. Other times when there were requests for summoning, it was always because of a battle.
But this new summoner was something else. Elder Giryo had appeared second time and the kid was still in his room, resting.
"I do. Honestly, I felt like someone was spying on me. So, I called for your help."
Reko was aware by Elder Giryo seemed to be asking this strange question.
Slightly awkward, Reko explained about his situation. He explained how he was feeling that someone had been spying on him.
"Hmm… you are correct. There are indeed some humans spying on you."
Elder Giryo just looked around and stared at a spot as he confirmed Reko's worries.
"Ohh? It appears that they have left. Their intention was most likely to spy on your activities."
Looking back at Reko, Elder Giryo informed him of the spy's departure.
"I see. Thank you. Could you check their strength?"
Reko wanted to know about the identity of the spy. Though, he was pretty sure that only one organization would be willing to do that.
"Strength? Their chakras are really low, nothing you wouldn't be able to beat. A third of your total chakra. Though, there were three shinobis spying on you."
Elder Giryo snorted on the spy's weakness. They were really weak. At most, they were elite Chunin in strength. Nothing Reko could not bear.
"Now that I checked, you have increased your chakra by a lot."
Elder Giryo gave a big smile as he praised Reko for the recent growth. He was really surprised that a human was able to show such astonishing speed of growth.
'No wonder that smartass chose this human.'
"Good good!! Just keep at it. You only need to reach thrice of your current amount."
Elder Giryo patted Reko's shoulder happily, making Reko grunt in pain before disappearing, cancelling the summon.
"He doesn't only look strong. He has really high level of strength too."
Reko muttered as he made hand signs, quickly using Mystic palm jutsu to heal the bruise.
Although, it was not that big of an injury. Reko just wanted to use healing jutsu on his body.
"Is it Root? There is no other organisation who would do something like this. But it was just normal spying, could be Anbu too.."
He was not really sure of the identity of shinobi spying on him. It could be Root, could be Anbu, or just other clan members wanting to know about the unofficial student of Tsunade.

(Aside from the smut, I want to ask if you like the story, mc's growth and strength gain. Is it slow? Fast paced?)
