Next, each time he simply paused briefly to organize the cultivation information he had just absorbed and verified it before continuing to make a wish and entering a deeper state of enlightenment.
One after another, he created the Perfect Three Tomoe Sharingan Training Method, as well as the Chakra Circulation Training Method that allowed him to accumulate chakra by guiding it through the meridians, expanding them, and developing the middle dantian to store and build up chakra.
He also created simplified versions of the Three Tomoe Sharingan Training Method and the Chakra Circulation Training Method in the process.
"Phew! Finally done! Now I can focus on training for a while and fully apply the effects of these techniques and my current physical potential,"
After spending a good half hour thoroughly digesting and familiarizing himself with the created techniques and running through them twice, Riku finally opened his eyes and let out a deep breath, thinking to himself.
"What a pity. The clan's collection of medical books and medical ninjutsu is still too limited. If I could get access to all the medical scrolls in the village, I could probably save even more wish points."
"Also, if I want to create stronger cultivation techniques or even ones to improve my aptitude, I'll still need more knowledge about medicine and human anatomy to save more wish points."
Thinking of this, Riku rubbed his chin and pondered, "Maybe... I should try to become Tsunade-sama's student?"
He started analyzing the feasibility and pros and cons of this idea.
Eventually, he concluded that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
The drawback, of course, would be attracting the attention and schemes of the Third Hokage and even Danzo.
Especially Danzo.
To become Tsunade-sama's disciple, he'd definitely have to show extraordinary talent in medical ninjutsu, and with other supporting factors, he might just succeed.
But that would mean he'd inevitably have to expose part of his talent to outsiders.
There's no way the Third Hokage and Danzo wouldn't covet that.
However, the benefits were clearly greater.
First, he would directly become a member of the Hokage's faction. Given Tsunade-sama's protective nature, this would greatly reduce the trouble and greed coming from Danzo and the Third Hokage.
Second, he would gain easy access to the medical library at the Konoha Hospital.
Third, he could learn Tsunade-sama's medical ninjutsu, medical knowledge, and even techniques like her monstrous strength.
He might even gain access to the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques and various jutsu collected by the Senju clan.
Fourth, it would lower the barrier for getting close to and working with other ninja clans.
"It's settled! I'll talk with my parents about this and get their help to push for me to become Tsunade-sama's student."
Riku made up his mind on the spot.
However, it was already getting late, and after several rounds of enlightenment, he felt mentally exhausted, so he decided to rest.
...
The Next Morning
As usual, Riku arrived at the training field in the backyard to begin his morning training.
But today, he didn't plan to keep hiding his strength. Instead, he officially began training in Martial Arts.
First was stance training, followed by Five-Animal Boxing.
With his divine-level comprehension, his body began to improve rapidly.
Riku's control over his body also skyrocketed.
After a few rounds, he felt like his physical control had increased severalfold.
His tendons and muscles had also strengthened to a degree.
The only downside was—he was starving.
Just as he was about to end his practice and head for breakfast, he noticed Uchiha Nobuhiko standing at the edge of the training field, watching him silently.
"Otou-san!"
Riku immediately greeted him with a cheerful smile.
"Mm."
Nobuhiko nodded in response, then asked with a frown, "What were you just practicing? It's completely different from the clan's body-training methods or taijutsu."
"But it looked pretty impressive. It seems to have a great effect on your physical conditioning."
"Don't tell me... you created this technique yourself?"
He remembered that half a month ago, Riku had specifically asked to read books on this topic.
Thinking back now, it was clear that the boy wasn't satisfied with the Uchiha's basic training methods and wanted to create his own.
Utterly unbelievable.
Yet now it seemed... Riku had actually succeeded.
"Hehe! That's right!"
Riku had deliberately chosen to train at home today to show off in front of his parents, to solidify his genius persona and to pave the way for his next plan.
So he answered affirmatively without hesitation.
"I feel it's way more effective than the basic Uchiha training method you taught me a few years ago!"
"Wanna try it yourself?"
Nobuhiko raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
Intrigued, he stepped forward, "Sure, teach me! Let's see if it's really that amazing."
"If it is, I'll give you a reward."
As he spoke, he placed his hand on Riku's shoulder, using his chakra and mental energy to scan his body.
Confirming that not only was there no harm, but Riku's body had also become much stronger, he finally relaxed and withdrew his hand. "Alright, let's begin."
"Mm!"
Riku immediately began teaching his father the basics of stance training and the Bright Force stage of martial arts.
Nobuhiko, being a Kage-level powerhouse, already had excellent body control.
Combined with his powerful spiritual sense and Sharingan, he only needed two tries to grasp the stance and the techniques.
In no time, his punches were full of vigor and force.
After a round of practice, Nobuhiko felt incredibly refreshed. Some old lingering injuries in his body even began to ease.
Now that was impressive.
"Phew... This body training method is really quite something! The conditioning is thorough and complete."
"The key part is, it significantly improves control over the body, and also has therapeutic effects. It's remarkable."
Then, turning to Riku again, Nobuhiko asked with astonishment, "Kid! You really created this in the past few days?"
Can't blame him for asking again—it was just too unbelievable.
This method far surpassed the Uchiha clan's and even most of the ninja world's body-training methods by a mile!
"What else? You think I just picked it up on the street? Hehe!"
Riku grinned, spreading his hands innocently.
"You brat!"
Nobuhiko, exasperated, lightly knocked Riku on the forehead. Just then, he heard Riku's stomach rumble from hunger and decided to stop training. "Alright, let's go eat."
"Also, about that reward—what do you want?"
"Father, I want to become Tsunade-sama's student!"
Riku answered immediately.
"Pfft!"
Nobuhiko had just taken a sip of porridge and instantly spit it out.
Luckily, he reacted fast and turned his head to the side, avoiding the food on the table.
Unfortunately, Fugaku wasn't so lucky—he got hit right in the face.
Fugaku: "..."
"Cough, cough!"
It took Nobuhiko a while to stop coughing. He looked at Riku in shock and asked, "Why would you suddenly want to become Tsunade-hime's student?"
Before Riku could answer, Fugaku on the side nearly exploded. He wanted to yell at his father but didn't dare, so he could only turn red with frustration and bit his tongue.
"Otou-san, you..."
"Cough, cough!"
Nobuhiko finally noticed Fugaku's state—drenched in porridge—and cleared his throat awkwardly, "Sorry about that, Fugaku. I didn't mean to!"
"Go clean up quickly!"
What could Fugaku say?
He had no choice but to leave the dining room quietly and go wash up.
