"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Technique!"
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
"Summoning Technique!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Bang!"
The ground rumbled continuously.
Explosions echoed one after another.
After creating shadow clones to train in ninjutsu—
The Wood Clone Akira had left behind occasionally acted as a chakra battery.
As for Kurenai Yuhi herself—
She was practicing the Summoning Technique while communicating with the summoned members of the Lizard Clan.
Carefully gathering information about them.
Searching for partners suitable for coordinated combat with herself.
Completely focused.
Yet she never noticed—
Under the shade of a nearby tree—
Two motionless figures sat cross-legged there.
In broad daylight—
Inside the mental world—
Doing extremely indecent things.
The sounds of battle thundered endlessly.
Passion burned like fire.
Anko's boldness—
Exceeded Akira Ren's expectations.
Usually kept tightly under Kurenai's watch—
Naturally, she would not let such a rare opportunity slip away.
"Alright, that's enough…"
After another fierce exchange—
Akira Ren, who had only intended to taste lightly, relied on tremendous willpower to remain clear-headed.
Looking helplessly at Anko, who clung to him like an octopus, he said:
"I still need to help regulate and reorganize your body afterward. If Red Sister notices anything unusual, it'll become troublesome."
"Hmph~"
Anko's cheeks were flushed red.
Clearly dissatisfied.
"You and Kurenai definitely do this sort of thing all the time…"
She sounded somewhat jealous.
"For someone your age, you know more positions than I do…"
Finally succeeding once inside the mental world—
She naturally found it difficult to stop.
Nibbling boldly at Akira Ren's ear, her voice became irresistibly seductive.
"How about… one more round?"
"No."
Akira remained unmoved.
But Anko's watery eyes looked dangerously alluring.
"Didn't Akira really enjoy big sister doing the splits just now?"
Akira Ren's resolute heart—
Wavered slightly.
Unfortunately—
That female hooligan had already wrapped herself around him.
Another completely unequal "sparring session" became inevitable.
"You temptress…"
…
After the storm passed—
Everything was a complete mess.
Fortunately—
Kurenai was facing away from them and sitting relatively far away.
Furthermore, she was completely engrossed in communicating enthusiastically with the summoned beasts.
Carefully recording the chakra expenditure required for each summon.
Categorizing their specialties—
Genjutsu-type.
Taijutsu-type.
Ninjutsu-type.
Intelligence-gathering type.
…
Otherwise—
She would probably have immediately noticed Anko's unusual state.
After all—
Even though the battle occurred inside the mental world—
Anko's body and soul were still closely connected and inseparable.
After finally suppressing the female hooligan known as Anko—
Akira at last freed up enough focus.
Mobilizing his vast chakra filled with powerful vitality—
He officially began fully regulating and repairing the damage left within her body after years of erosion from the Cursed Seal of Heaven.
Just like with Kurenai—
He also condensed an Yin Seal and Strength of a Hundred Seal for her.
Leaving sealed chakra within it that could be released in moments of unavoidable danger.
…
Time slowly passed.
Until noon.
Akira Ren's spirit body finally returned.
Leaving Anko's body.
Meanwhile—
Kurenai had already prepared lunch.
No one knew where she had caught a wild beast from.
But after cleaning it—
The meat had already been roasted to a golden brown.
"Crackle… pop…"
Flames flickered.
Heat waves rolled outward.
Golden droplets of oil dripped down from time to time, causing the fire to flare intensely.
"Mmm… that feels wonderful…"
Anko stretched lazily.
A faint blush still remained on her face.
"Thank you so much, Akira Ren!"
On her forehead—
A strange purple marking had appeared at some point.
Like decorative forehead makeup.
But unlike Kurenai's—
Anko's was a purple serpent-shaped design.
After Akira Ren's complete regulation through the Yin Seal and his exquisite medical ninjutsu—
Her entire appearance became radiant.
She looked astonishingly youthful.
Her skin had become smoother and softer.
As if she had suddenly become several years younger.
Feeling the changes in her body, she glanced toward the nearby river and her eyes lit up.
"But first, I need a bath!"
"Then go wash up first."
Akira shrugged.
He had already checked.
No one was nearby.
He had even sent a Wood Clone earlier to notify the Third Hokage.
Furthermore—
He had deliberately set up a barrier in the area that rendered the Third Hokage's Telescope Technique ineffective and unable to spy on them directly.
Otherwise—
The commotion Kurenai had caused these past days while constantly practicing ninjutsu—
Would have already alerted the ANBU and nearby ninja.
"Anko, you'd better hurry."
Kurenai smiled teasingly.
"Otherwise there won't be any left for you."
Within a single morning—
Thanks to Akira Ren's unlimited chakra supply—
Combined with her already solid chakra control as a Jonin—
Kurenai had completely mastered the Summoning Technique.
In fact—
If she ignored chakra consumption and went all out—
She could fully summon the giant lizard clan chief, Chubeimaru.
Of course—
Doing so would instantly consume most of her chakra reserves.
And that was only because Akira had used the Spirit Transformation Technique and his special chakra to improve her physique through medical ninjutsu, increasing her chakra capacity.
Naturally—
If she released the Yin Seal—
Then chakra consumption would no longer matter at all.
Compared to many other ninjutsu—
The Summoning Technique was not especially difficult to train.
As long as one possessed sufficient chakra and decent chakra control.
No wonder Akira previously told her there was no need to rush learning it.
After Anko finished bathing in the river and changed clothes—
The three of them quickly finished lunch.
With Akira Ren's medical senjutsu supporting them—
Fatigue was no concern whatsoever.
Aside from letting her shadow clones continue practicing ninjutsu—
Kurenai also began training taijutsu.
At Akira Ren's request—
She tied on weighted metal blocks and continuously engaged in high-intensity combat training against Akira Ren's Wood Clone.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Meanwhile—
With Akira Ren's assistance—
Anko obtained a "Cheat-Mode Trial Card"!
Because her spiritual energy was not as strong as Kurenai's—
She only created two shadow clones to assist her training.
But the sensation of effectively having three versions of herself training simultaneously—
And gaining triple experience—
Still shocked her immensely.
"This feeling…"
"It's incredible!"
Without needing to worry about chakra depletion—
With an unlimited supply available—
The exhilarating sensation of recklessly spending chakra and bombarding everything with ninjutsu...
Made her overjoyed and unbelievably excited.
"No wonder your strength improved so quickly, Kurenai!"
