….
Being in the sacred land's special pond, his chakra regeneration was boosted by almost double.
He used his superior chakra control and began to store the chakra in the Yin seal, finding it fascinating.
[Mission completed]
[Senju physique + 1 level.]
With this, he had completed the mission to beat Sakura. The Yin seal, being the legacy skill, made him finally complete the mission.
A wave of energy erupted from his body, signifying the upgrade of his physique, elevating the status of his body once again.

The changes to his stats however were very surprising, more than that of his previous level ups. His chakra increased by almost one-third.
Also, his Chakra control, Endurance, and Regeneration all increased by huge margins.
"What was that? Your body erupted with chakra. It isn't supposed to work like that."
Shizune looked intrigued, even confused, this did not appear like chakra bursts. It was something different this time.
And Reko had already managed to complete the Yin seal. So, there was no way he would still be suffering from the chakra bursts.
"Nothing much, my physique, it feels better now."
Reko stretched, feeling the strength in his body.
From what he saw in the stats, his body has gotten a whole lot stronger. Enough to tank Tsunade's punches.
He could feel the grip on his hands, his muscles moving. Sadly, he didn't have his training equipment here in the pond. Otherwise, he would have directly tested it.
"Your body…"
Shizune mumbled, taking a quick look at his body. It did look very strong and robust from her perspective.
It was chiseled, and the muscles appeared strong. She could not take her eyes off it.
"Ahem"
"It seems good, yeah, pretty good."
Distracted, she nodded at Reko, hoping she did not get caught staring blatantly.
'But it's not a big problem. We have had our encounters, he would not mind being stared at.
Also, I am naked here in the water with him. So, it's only fair if I get a good look.'
She convinced herself that it was okay. Considering the relationship they had and the last time she visited him, it would not be awkward.
"So, what do I do now? Are you going to teach me super strength?"
He asked curiously. The yin seal could work almost passively. He did not need to concentrate a lot on it.
There was only one other technique that he could think of, Tsunade's super strength which Sakura learned later on.
"No. We did not expect you to have learned this so quickly. We didn't make a follow up plan."
Shizune rejected, embarrassed that she didn't think this through. This was a very good opportunity to train in the sacred land and could not be wasted.
"I will inform her about this once she gets back from training Sakura."
Shizune could only wait for Tsunade to come back. They were at another location and she didn't ever try learning the taijutsu technique to teach anyone unlike the yin seal.
"Oh, okay."
Reko did not mind. He was okay with having a little break. He asked about the technique because the mission was considered completed and he had still not learned that.
It made him curious if that technique was really going to be taught by Tsunade.
"Why don't I show you our place? You have not seen that castle. It's so grand."
As they stood naked together in the water, Shizune decided to propose an idea to look around.
"Let me show you around."
Without any option to resist, Shizune held him by his hands and dragged him to the castle where the girls were staying.
'It would have been very awkward if I did not.'
It was difficult to not look at it even though they were adults and shinobi. She was a woman and very inexperienced at that.
She could not hide her gaze.
'Not so big like Tsunade, but it feels good nonetheless.'
As Reko was being held by his hands, he could feel Shizune's breast. The plump feeling was refreshing.
'I did not notice it earlier, but isn't her ass too plump? Her bust is smaller but her thighs and ass more than compensate for that.'
Shizune had a pear shaped body. Her normal attire hid her thighs and butt perfectly.
She worked out and was fit which showed from the way her back looked. Her thigh muscles were strong and complimented her bubble butt perfectly.
The place where the ladies stayed was not far away, probably a few thousand meters from his place. So, it did not take them long.
'No wonder she was so excited to show me around. This is some royalty level architecture here.'
The house which he got was okay. But this thing in front of him was a legit castle. A castle with almost three floors and dozens of rooms.
A castle which was being shared by Tsunade, Shizune and Sakura only.
Unfortunately, he could not object to it. It was Tsunade's decision and he did like little personal space to train his techniques.
Shizune showed him around, from room to room, even the room where Tsunade was staying.
'Is she going to dress up now? When she has already shown me everything naked?'
Shizune seemed to be dressing up, putting on a big shirt which covered her to the butt.
But Reko was curious, why now? It's been an hour already. Fortunately for him, he was capable of making a defensive layer with his earth control and had it over his body after getting out of the water, like a cloth.
"Shizune? Reko?"
Sakura exited out of the room and was surprised to see Shizune and Reko there.
As they conversed, Sakura found out that Reko already learned the technique and was looking for Tsunade.
"You learned the technique already? No way!!!"
She almost screamed, but then again she had long been used to such speed. Even though it was a big surprise, she had learned to take it well and adapted quickly.
Reko held his hair back and showed her the mark on his forehead. A diamond seal, though dim unlike Tsunade's was present, hidden by his black hair.
"Lady Tsunade sent me back. She is resting there on the beach. You should inform her."
She explained how she was very tired from practicing the technique. Lady Tsunade sent her back here to rest while she relaxed there on her own.
Unlike Reko, Sakura actually experienced difficulty and it took a lot from both her and Tsunade, making them too tired to continue.
"Let's go."
Shizune headed to the place with Reko. They were waiting for Tsunade to come back. Since she was resting already, it didn't matter if they visited. She would not be disturbed.
…
They reached the beach. Reko was not sure how big it was and neither was Shizune.
"Hmm? You guys are here?"
Tsunade, laying on the ground, looked at the silhouette of two people heading towards her and sat up.
She was almost naked, wearing revealing underwear and a thin string to cover her breasts. That too, she only put on because Sakura was a kid.
Otherwise, she would have assisted her naked like she did with Reko.
As Shizune got close and explained about the training, Tsunade looked doubtful but she still turned to Reko and checked his forehead for confirmation.
"Your forehead… you managed to learn it?"
She muttered in half surprise. As she looked at the diamond shaped mark on his forehead.
"That's pretty impressive."
She praised Reko. This was really impressive, surpassing her expectations.
'Why is she not shocked? Isn't this the hardest technique in her arsenal?'
Shizune looked at Tsunade, curious as to why she was not surprised?
Was it within her expectations?
'What is with this lukewarm reaction?'
Shizune looked at Tsunade with doubtful eyes but did not speak.
'The difficulty of learning it was high but learning to keep it active all the time is what matters the most.'
Tsunade thought that it was prodigious for Reko to accomplish it. But the difficult part was keeping up with the constant supply of chakra in the beginning months.
Though it was still a very difficult technique, she had high expectations from Reko.
"So you wish to learn the super strength technique now? Not bad. I thought you would want to rest for a while before learning something new."
Tsunade praised him, admiring his learning attitude.
"Let me see.."
She stood up, stretching for a few seconds before she bent over to look at the stuff she had kept on the ground by her side.
The scene looked tempting as if Tsunade was baiting Reko purposely. However, he still couldn't look aside. It was too difficult to not stare.
"Here. It should not be a problem for you. You will be done within a week."
She handed him a scroll containing the technique for the super strength. It was innate to her and she hardly worked on it.
However, she believed that Reko would learn it within a week.
…
A week passed.
During the week, Reko managed to complete the Yin seal, learn a complimentary healing technique to use with the Yin seal, and then finally learned Super strength.
His training was complete.
The only thing that Tsunade did not teach him was her Creation rebirth technique that allowed instant regeneration at the cost of lifespan.
Reko did not mind though, he could learn it when she uses it later on, no big deal.
With his super strength, Yin seal chakra, and physique, it was hardly a need for him to learn Creation rebirth.
He had stopped his training for Flying Raijin after coming here, putting all his focus on these but he resumed it a day ago. The yin seal helped him immensely, allowing him to progress in the Flying Raijin.
He had already tried jumping space and he successfully accomplished it too albeit with very high chakra cost. He only needed to fine tune the method and then practice.
'The Senju physique is an important trait. It improved my space time techniques tremendously.'
The improvement was astonishing. He felt that he would be able to restructure it to suit his needs within a month.
With the effects from the sacred land, he could shorten it further.
"Hey Reko! Not going to train today?"
Shizune entered the makeshift house and asked Reko cheerfully. She was naked from top, only wearing a thin panty to hide her bottom.
As there task was to continuously train in the pond's effects, the effectiveness of wearing clothes was zero. So, they decided to not wear it.
Reko was using another house, being the only guy. While Sakura, Shizune, and Tsunade had a castle on the other side. There were numerous ponds and even a beach. So, Reko didn't even need to visit the other three.
However, Shizune and sometimes Tsunade, did come to assist him in the training.
Since the last few days, only Shizune kept coming as Tsunade was busy teaching Sakura.
"I am. Are you free to assist me?"
Reko was going to train. He needed to make full use of this place, especially the pond.
"Sakura is being trained by lady Tsunade today. So, I am free."
Shizune agreed to assist him in his training. She had been doing so for the last few days. Even though Reko had learnt everything, Sakura was still way behind him and needed support from Tsunade personally.
Tsunade had to personally assist Sakura, allowing Shizune lots of free time in which she assisted Reko.
"Just move these kunai, not very fast but just keep moving them slightly."
Reko handed Shizune two kunai which had marks of his technique. He was still learning to teleport perfectly. So, he needed Shizune to assist him.
Honestly, he would have gone back to the village and trained by himself. But the effect of the pond surprisingly boosted his training with Flying Raijin too.
Although it did consume double the amount of chakra but it was still better to train here. So, he decided to remain in the sacred land.
