**Chapter 217: Special Medical Training in Full Swing!**

The first special training session extended late into the night.

"Combat training is so much more exciting than regular medical practice," one of the medical ninjas said with enthusiasm.

"Exciting, yes, but Reiki, could you go a bit easier on us? Even after treatment, I'm still sore," another complained, rubbing their bruises.

"Come on, it's special training, not a game," someone else chimed in. "One day, we might face real enemies out there!"

The group continued chatting, reviewing the day's progress, while Reiki stood off to the side, smiling at them. His smile was genuine. Today had been productive, not only for the trainees but also for him.

The day's gains were impressive:

- **Solid Chakra:** 618

- **Physical:** 102

- **Talent:** 19

- **Surprise Gift Pack:** 31

"Alright, everyone, that's enough for today. Go back and get a good rest," Reiki called out.

"Definitely! I'll try even harder tomorrow."

"Just wait—soon, you won't be able to keep up with us, Reiki!"

After saying their goodbyes, Tsunade and Reiki left the hospital together.

When they arrived home, Yūhi Kurenai and Shizune had already prepared dinner. Since Shizune was still young and couldn't keep up with the full training regimen, she handled the logistics instead. Meanwhile, Yūhi Kurenai had practically moved in, cooking dinner daily for everyone. Tsunade had grown used to her presence and enjoyed her meals.

"Reiki, you went pretty hard on them today," Tsunade commented over dinner. "You don't want to discourage them right at the start. Tomorrow, maybe lower the intensity a bit to give them a sense of accomplishment."

But she noticed that Reiki had already dozed off at the table.

"Teacher, let Senior Brother Reiki sleep," Shizune said, looking at Reiki with concern.

"Let him rest. He worked hard today," Tsunade agreed with a smile, grateful for her diligent disciple.

Shizune and Yūhi Kurenai gently moved Reiki to a comfortable spot and covered him with a quilt before joining Tsunade for dinner.

Later that night…

"Ugh…" Reiki woke up, rubbing his eyes. He'd fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion—and hunger.

"Brother Reiki, you're awake! I'll warm up some food for you," Shizune called, hurrying to the kitchen.

Reiki smiled, touched by her thoughtfulness. As he stretched, he opened his system panel.

"System, open the surprise gift packs."

One by one, the rewards appeared in his system space.

- **Worldly Hairpin:** Increases chakra refining efficiency.

- **Premium Canned Herring:** A delicacy with an unforgettable taste.

- More miscellaneous items…

Reiki couldn't help but chuckle at the odd assortment. *Canned herring? And premium, at that—how wonderful…*

"Brother Reiki, here's some food," Shizune said, bringing a hot plate of leftovers.

"Thank you," Reiki replied with a smile as he began eating. He was, indeed, famished.

The following day, training resumed.

With a solid foundation from the first day, many of the medical ninjas already showed marked improvements. They formed seals faster, released ninjutsu more accurately, and displayed better coordination. Tsunade had even sourced various elemental jutsu for them to learn.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Water Style: Water Bullet Jutsu!"

"Earth Style: Earthquake Technique!"

What had initially started as a simple combat exercise quickly turned into a competition of ninjutsu. Their exceptional chakra control, a hallmark of medical ninjas, allowed many of them to execute these techniques with ease. Some even had chakra reserves on par with jounin, making learning these jutsu surprisingly manageable.

Combat ninjas from around the village gathered to watch in awe as the medical ninjas showcased their skills. Witnessing this display, some combat ninjas couldn't help but question their own capabilities.

A week passed, and the training continued to intensify.

"I give up!" Reiki sighed, stepping back from the training ground with a mock frown.

"Haha, I finally beat Reiki!" Matsumoto, a 21-year-old medical ninja, cheered. Known for his ample chakra reserves and skill with various jutsu, Matsumoto had managed to best Reiki in their 12th sparring match. Of course, Reiki hadn't used his full abilities; in a real fight, he would still have the upper hand. But the progress Matsumoto and the others had made was undeniable.

"What's there to celebrate?" Tsunade interjected, dousing Matsumoto's enthusiasm with a cold look. "You're celebrating beating an eight-year-old chunin? Get out of here!"

"Uh… right. I still have a long way to go." Matsumoto tried to sound humble, though a hint of excitement remained in his eyes.

Tsunade called everyone to attention. "Alright, that's it for today. Tomorrow, we're doing team battles. Reiki will pick his own team, and you all will select partners by tonight. The winning team will be rewarded."

She opened a box filled with potions.

"Defeat Reiki's team, and each member will receive a set of recovery potions, stamina potions, and basic body-building potions. The top five teams will receive three sets each, and the first-place team will also get three bottles of advanced body-building potions."

As Tsunade displayed the potions, excitement rippled through the trainees.

"Potions! And Tsunade-sama's creations!"

"I heard these potions are worth 10 yen a bottle, and they're always sold out."

"Matsumoto, team up with me! We can win this!"

The medical ninjas buzzed with energy, thrilled at the prospect of the rewards. As medics, they fully understood the value of these potions, especially the body-building potion, which promised significant physical benefits.

News of the rewards quickly spread across Konoha, piquing the interest of combat ninjas. They couldn't believe the treatment these medical ninjas were receiving. When had their own training ever offered rewards like this? For the first time, the combat ninjas found themselves looking at the medical division with envy.
