37 Shortcut
Issei's eye twitched after he saw the 8th requirement.
"What's wrong, senpai?" -Furuichi
"We got new 5 objectives to do this time, and we have to complete all of them before 6 AM tomorrow," Issei said while putting his Digivice back.
"That many?" -Furuichi
"That many." -Issei
"Oi, brat! When are you going to give me the money?" Inside Tsunade's head was only filled with money right now.
"I can give it to you right now, but I want you to help me with something as well... Shizune-san. " Issei knew that the current Tsunade wouldn't want to be involved with medical, so he asked Shizune instead.
"Eh? Me?" Shizune pointed at herself.
"That's right. Yesterday, there's a girl whose severely injured during the Chunin Exam's preliminary round. Although she was given emergency treatment by medical-nin, her internal injuries still remained. So, I want you to come with me to the hospital." -Issei
"Errr... Okay." Shizune turned to ask Tsunade which the latter nodded.
"So, how much you are indebted, Tsunade-san?" -Issei
"Hundred million... For now." -Tsunade
"Huh?! Come again?" -Issei
"It's 100 million Ryo. Now, give it to me quickly." -Tsunade
"Damn! It's equal to completing 100 S-rank missions. I don't have that much money with me. So... Lucoa-san." -Issei
"Leave it to me." -Lucoa
"Alright then, Shizune-san, we will go to the hospital after I finished the business on Ero-Sennin's side. Please make yourself at home while you're waiting for me." -Issei
"Okay." -Shizune
Then Issei and Furuichi went to where Jiraiya was teaching Naruto.
.
When Issei and Furuichi arrived, Jiraiya had just finished explaining the Summoning Jutsu to Naruto.
"Furuichi-niichan and Issei-niichan. Ossu!" -Naruto
"Yo. How is it going?" Jiraiya asked about finding Tsunade.
"She's at our house right now." -Issei
"I see. So, why are you here, Issei?" -Jiraiya
"We got 5 new requirements and have to complete them before tomorrow morning. " -Issei
"What is it?" -Jiraiya
"One is to give them enough money to pay for their debts, so I let Lucoa-san handle it. Three are related to the medical, which I will go to the hospital with Shizune-san after this. The remaining one is about Naruto's training, so I'm here to help with this one first." -Issei
"Okay, I get it. Then-" -Jiraiya
"Yatta! Issei-niichan is going to help me in training!!" Naruto jumped to hug Issei.
"Okay okay. Get off me first." Issei didn't want a hug from a boy.
.
As Issei knew that letting Naruto spent all of his normal chakras first was a useless method, so he asked Jiraiya to bring out the toads' summoning contract then told Naruto to sign his name on it.
"Try it once." -Jiraiya
"Don't forget to imagine the feeling when you're using the second chakra." -Issei
"Alright... Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram... Summoning Jutsu!!!" Naruto then pressed his five fingers onto the ground.
*Poof* A tadpole appeared. Jiraiya's eye twitched while Issei and Furuichi already expected something like this to happen.
"Okay, it seems that you still can't use your second chakra in normal condition... The only way we can do is to take the shortcut since we don't have much time." -Issei
"Shortcut?" -Naruto
"That's right. You will be able to use the second chakra if you succeed." -Issei
"What if I fail?" -Naruto
"Death." -Issei
*Gulp* Naruto's swallowing sound was heard by everyone.
"Just so you know, you don't have to force yourself. Although the shortcut can make you become stronger faster, it also dangerous and may cost your life. Even If you continue to practice normally, you will be able to use that power in the future anyway." -Issei
"I will take it." -Naruto
"Are you sure about that? If you die, everything is over, including your dream of becoming Hokage." -Issei
"I will be fine, Issei-niichan. I won't die until I become Hokage!!!" -Naruto
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya smiled while Issei and Furuichi felt like they're hearing the [Naruto Main Theme].
"Alright, let's go." -Issei
.
Currently, Issei and others were standing in the forest where Jiraiya pushed Naruto off the cliff in canon.
"Naruto, one last tip to you. Do something if you don't want to die. Got it?" -Issei
"Oh!!!" -Naruto
"Now, turn around. It's time to Sparta." -Issei
"Sparta? What is it?" Naruto asked while turning around.
"This is SPARTA!" Then Issei kicked Naruto's butt.
"AH! WAHHHHH!!!" Naruto was sent flying towards the cliff behind the bushes.
"Now then." Issei unfolded his wings.
"You're going to follow him?" -Jiraiya
"That's right. Although the success rate is quite high, I will make sure that not a single accident will happen. It's my responsibility as his senpai after all." Issei then followed Naruto down.
Issei saw Naruto tried to grab some rock, but the rock surface was slippery, so he continued falling. After that, Naruto was silent for a while as he entered his subconscious to ask for the 'rent' from Kurama.
"Summoning Jutsu!!!" Naruto performed the Summoning Jutsu right away after he exited his subconscious.
*BOOM* This time Naruto succeeded in summoning Gamabunta. Issei then went up to Furuichi and Jiraiya.
*Bzzt* *Bzzt* Issei then took out his Digivice and saw the quest progress showing 5/8. Only the medical-related requirements were still in progress.
"The rest here is up to you guys. I will go to the hospital to complete the remaining requirements." Issei said to Jiraiya and Furuichi.
"Sure." x2
Issei then went back to his house to pick up Shizune.
.
When Issei arrived, Shizune and Karin also came out of the house.
"Karin, Shizune-san. Where are you two going?" -Issei
"Ah, welcome back Issei-san. We're about to go to the hospital." -Karin
"Oh, you're going too?" -Issei
"Of course. Don't forget that I can use medical ninjutsu as well. Two are still better than one, right?" -Karin
"My bad. Do I have to tell you about the people we're going to treat?" -Issei
"You don't have to do that. Lucoa-san already told us. As we need Shizune-san to treat Hyuga Hinata's internal injuries, so I will help with making Uchiha Sasuke regain his consciousness." -Karin
"What about Rock Lee's condition. Did Tsunade-san know about it yet?" Issei felt weird after hearing Karin called Sasuke in a plain tone.
"Lucoa-san is explaining it to her right now." -Karin
"Alright then, let's go to the hospital." -Issei
