Chapter 30: The Cold Face Mikawa And The Good Heart Mikawa
[Poor Quality Self Healing Body] was directly upgraded to Level 3 by Aoba, and his recovery rate had also increased from one time to four times!
The four-times increase of self-healing had become quite considerable in an instant.
This meant that he would only need a dozen hours to recover from his injuries that could only be healed in three days.
Moreover, [Poor Quality Self Healing Body] could also repair the hidden injuries in his body to a certain extent. It was very suitable for him to cultivate for the next period of time, which could save him a lot of time.
Of course, the price was more physical consumption.
However, this could be made up by eating a lot. With the 100,000 taels that Uchiha had compensated, it was enough to support his cultivation for a long time.
In addition, he also wanted to try to see if he could increase his ability level by cultivating without relying on the skill card.
If he could, then he could use this method to increase [Hakuda]'s level and save the skill card on other abilities.
Then he began to try to speed up his self-healing ability. After [Poor Quality Self Healing Body] upgraded to Level 3, he felt much clearer.
He could feel a warm current flowing around his body, and the places where he was injured began to itch.
But not long after, he began to feel hungry…. Obviously, after upgrading his ability, the stamina he needed to consume was also increasing.
Of course, this also had a lot to do with the fact that he had not eaten for a day.
Therefore, he decisively stopped!
He just wanted to test the effect of his ability, but he did not want to reveal anything strange that would make people suspicious.
After he was exposed, if someone suspected that he had something to do with Senju's clan, then it would be a mess.
....
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.
It had to be said that although the medical facilities in the Naruto world were not as advanced as the ones on Earth, with the existence of medical ninjutsu, it greatly made up for this gap, and the effect was amazing!
After a week of recuperation, Aoba, who was on the sickbed, was finally allowed to be discharged.
Moreover, the elusive Mikawa also appeared in front of him at the first moment.
"Come, come with me to a place."
Aoba did not refuse. He also had no reason to refuse, because if Mikawa wanted to harm him, he would have died long ago.
If there was someone in Konoha who could temporarily make him trust, then it's none other than Mikawa and Itachi, who had just met him twice and almost dragged him to meet the King of Hell.
Aoba originally thought that Mikawa was going to take him to a more secretive place this time and tell him some things. However, he did not expect that Mikawa would actually bring him to a bustling commercial street and directly walk into a barbecue restaurant.
After finding a place to sit down, Aoba looked at him with a very strange gaze.
Mikawa felt a little uncomfortable from being looked at. He seemed to be explaining to someone, "The people in the hospital said that you lack nutrition. I just got a reward, so I wanted to reward myself."
Hearing this, Aoba couldn't help but smile.
'If you want to take me to eat a good meal, just say it. Why take such a big turn?'
However, he didn't expose Mikawa's embellishment. Just take it as this.
….
The vigorous charcoal fire and fresh beef almost made Aoba think that he had returned to Earth.
"Let's eat."
Mikawa immediately spread the slices of meat all over the roasted wall. Soon, a tempting fragrance spread out, making one's index finger twitch.
And Aoba was indeed a bit hungry for meat, so he immediately began to gobble down the meat.
Mikawa ate very slowly. He asked for a small pot of wine for himself and slowly drank it. However, the speed of his barbecue was not slow. Moreover, his technique was very good. The roasted meat was just right.
Soon, almost 80% of the five people's roast meat entered Aoba's stomach.
However, Mikawa did not seem to take it seriously. He asked for another five people's roast meat.
As a special Jonin, even if he was born as a commoner, the money he earned in a year was a huge number. Even eating barbecue every day was not a problem.
Since Aoba liked to eat, he naturally would not be stingy.
In the process of eating, he also pretended to inadvertently say, "To become an excellent ninja, having a good physique is inevitable. You have realized that the self-training you did a while ago was very good, but at the same time, you have to keep up with the nutrition, otherwise, it will only get worse and worse. I have already asked the Hokage-sama, Sarutobi. In the future, I will give you five thousand taels of relief fund every month. But this money is not given to you for free. After you graduate and become a Genin, you need to repay this money by doing tasks."
How could Aoba, whose mouth was full of meat, refuse such a good thing? He nodded repeatedly as a sign of agreement.
But what he did not know was that this so-called relief fund was actually the result of Mikawa paying from his own pocket. It had nothing to do with the Hokage and Konoha.
When it came to repaying, it was only because Mikawa did not want to raise a rice worm out, giving him some pressure and motivation, so that he would have ambition.
For an irrelevant person, Mikawa had put in a lot of effort. Even he himself did not know what he was trying to do.
After an unknown period of time, Aoba wiped out twenty portions of barbecue. Mikawa also slowly ate up ten portions of barbecue and drank the last cup of wine. Only then did the meal end.
"By the way, your job has been handed over to someone else. Although I don't agree with you continuing to work to make money, you have your own ideas, so I won't mention them anymore. I only hope that you remember one thing. Although becoming a ninja is dangerous, you can control your own fate to a certain extent. Money and other things are easier to obtain. So don't abandon the root of the problem, and don't waste the talent bestowed by the heavens."
Aoba nodded again and said seriously, "I will remember it. Thank you."
Aoba had been in the hospital for such a long time, waiting for someone. He had already been mentally prepared.
"I still have things to do next. You can go back by yourself. I have already put the compensation that Uchiha gave you at home. In addition, the security situation over there has improved a lot recently. But I think you should not run around. If you cause any more trouble, I will drive you out of the village!"
After being in contact with him for so long, Aoba had long known that Mikawa was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Moreover, he was not good at expressing his true feelings.
Therefore, unconsciously, he felt a little admiration for this unprepossessing middle-aged man.
If the two of them exchanged positions, he did not think that he could do better.
It was just that the bullshit undercover mission was like a thorn in his throat, making him unable to enter, retreat, and even more unable to show his heart to anyone.
Sometimes, he also wondered how he would face Mikawa and Jonin if his undercover identity was exposed one day.
Just thinking about it made him feel like his heart was blocked by a big stone.
So what the hell was this?
