"Okay, stop looking at like that. I'm happy to help you," Tsunade said, a little annoyed.
As she spoke, she placed her palm against Kaito's chest, releasing a steady stream of dical chakra.
Ayanami Kaito sighed inwardly. How did he end up with such a troubleso teacher?
"Oh, right! How could I forget this?" Tsunade suddenly slapped her forehead.
"What is it?" Kaito asked, confused.
"Your body's locked in a clash between two energies. All I can do is support the vitality inside you with dical ninjutsu to help tip the balance. It'll work, but it'll take ti. Honestly, instead of wasting so many hours like this, you might as well have a couple of Katsuyu clones do it while I get so sleep," Tsunade said seriously.
Kaito sighed. His teacher and relative was incorrigible.
"Don't give that look. I'm being practical here! Whether it's my chakra or Katsuyu's, the output's the sa. So why not let your teacher get so rest while you recover?"
Kaito rolled his eyes but didn't argue. He knew how his body worked and realized she wasn't wrong. Then, an idea struck him.
"Tsunade-sensei, what if you convert your chakra directly into dical chakra and inject it into ? Wouldn't that work better?"
"Good thought! Let's give it a try."
Without waiting for his consent, Tsunade imdiately channeled her chakra into pure dical energy and transferred it into his chest.
Kaito couldn't stop her even if he wanted to. He cursed inwardly. Seriously, you didn't even wait!
The mont Tsunade's dical chakra entered his body, the vitality inside him surged like fire doused in oil, aggressively suppressing the remaining destructive energy.
The recovery speed was many tis faster than what he'd achieved alone in the training space. Within an hour, the dark energy had shrunk to the size of a walnut. Two hours later, it was no bigger than a red date.
At this point, Tsunade was sweating, her complexion pale from exertion.
Seeing this, Kaito's heart ached. "Tsunade-sensei, let's stop for now. You can continue after resting. I'm already much better."
Though she still had the Yin Seal to fall back on, Kaito didn't want her to tap into it. He rembered how she'd aged drastically after using it against Pain during the Konoha invasion.
"No need," Tsunade wiped the sweat from her brow, then turned to Hinata. "Hinata, you're up next. I'm taking a break."
"Okay, Tsunade-sensei," Hinata said softly, her face filled with worry.
"You can use dical ninjutsu?" Kaito asked in surprise.
"Of course. Not just Hinata — Ino too. Both of them have exceptional chakra control, especially Hinata. She's already mastered dical ninjutsu," Tsunade said proudly.
While Tsunade spoke, Hinata was already channeling dical chakra into Kaito's chest.
An hour passed, and Hinata was soaked in sweat, her face flushed and breathing ragged.
"Enough, Hinata! That's plenty, stop now," Kaito said, heart aching.
"It's fine, Kaito," Hinata gave him a gentle smile, and to his shock, released the Yin Seal on her forehead.
Her complexion recovered instantly, and she continued healing him.
Kaito's heart clenched. He didn't say anything further, though the ache in his chest wasn't from injury anymore.
Another hour later, Kaito could move freely again. The destructive energy had shrunk even more .
At this rate, it would only take another two hours to completely purge it.
Sure enough, after two hours, the last remnant of destructive energy dispersed. Kaito's body was finally back to normal.
"Hah… it's finally gone!" Tsunade exhaled, pulling her hand away.
Hinata, exhausted, had fallen asleep an hour ago.
"Thank you, Tsunade-sensei," Kaito said gratefully.
"Hmph, good that you know how to thank your teacher," Tsunade huffed, though she looked pleased.
"It's late. I'm heading back. We'll talk tomorrow," she yawned.
Kaito felt a little guilty. "Okay, see you tomorrow."
He saw Tsunade out with a smile, then gently gathered the sleeping Hinata into his arms. His gaze softened as he looked down at her peaceful face.

The Next Morning
Ino tiptoed into the room carrying a small pot of soup.
Inside, she found Kaito making breakfast while Hinata still slept soundly from exhaustion.
Ino's gaze lingered on Hinata, and when she noticed the Yin Seal mark on her forehead had vanished, she was stunned.
What kind of situation went down here last night? Ino imagined an intense battle between Kaito and Hinata, her cheeks reddening at the thought.
Snap!
Kaito flicked her forehead lightly.
"What's going through your head, Ino? I had so issues with my training last night. Tsunade-sensei and Hinata helped stabilize things," Kaito said calmly.
Ino gave him a suspicious look, as if to say, Do you think I'm that gullible?
Kaito sighed, knowing there was no way she'd believe him.
"Fine, let's eat. Don't wake Hinata. She needs rest."
"Oh, by the way! This is chicken and red date soup my mom made," Ino placed the pot on the table, lowering her voice.
"Please help thank your mom," Kaito said with a grateful smile. He knew Hinata would need this to regain her strength.
Ino smiled but said nothing, though her eyes glead mischievously, as if silently teasing, Go on, keep lying. I'd love to see what you co up with next.
