After waking up from his deep slumber, Bakorio begin analyzing the unfamiliar room he was in curiously before he stood up and felt a slight ache in his head...

'It seems like I overdid it this time, this headache must be from me overusing my multitask ability…' He thought, before he stepped outside the room and finally understood where he was 'This is Tsunade's home… well I guess it's to be expected to wake up here if not in Shikkotsu forest'

Then, Shizune suddenly came running at him from out of nowhere and said happily "Bakorio-kun, you are finally awake!"

Bakorio tilted his head slightly finding her reaction a bit exaggerated so he asked her "How long was I unconscious for?"

Shizune's eyes were slightly watery from her happiness as she said "You've been unconscious for three whole days!"

Bakorio's eyes widened slightly before he nodded at her and said gratefully "Thank you for taking care of me during this time"

Shizune beamed slightly and ruffled his head in happiness in contrast to his annoyance as he asked "Where's Tsunade? And how did I end up here?"

Shizune found Bakorio's annoyed appearance cuter and her eyes kept lighting up more and more before she said "Lady Tsunade was needed at the hospital, as for why you ended up here, lady Katsuyu sent you back here after noticing that you were absorbing natural chakra passively and was fearful of you losing control over it since you were unconscious, and staying at a place filled with nature's chakra would only increase the possibility of this happening"

'Hmm, that's true if I was a normal person, but most of the natural energy I'm absorbing is being absorbed by the system to regenerate its battery so that would never happen to me…' thought Bakorio but he was still grateful for their actions that showed how much they cared for him and it warmed his empty heart slightly…

"I see, I'm indebted to them" said Bakorio with a smile and Shizune quickly shook her head and said "No, no, it's only normal Bakorio-kun…" before she quickly changed the subject and said "By the way, Kakashi-san wanted to see you after he returned from his mission, but Lady Tsunade didn't want to worry everyone else so we told Kakashi-san and anyone that wanted to meet you that you were still training at Shikkotsu forest…"

"I see, thanks again for covering up for me" after Bakorio said this, Shizune kept reprimanding him about his reckless actions and how he shouldn't make the people that love him worry about him but he simply kept nodding robotically at her until she got annoyed with him and left angrily…

"Sigh, this little girl is truly persistent…" muttered Bakorio before he checked his system's notifications

[Congratulation on learning the slug sage's mode]

[Slug sage mode level 1: Vitality +20]

'hmm… although it only increases vitality, at level 100, this sage transformation grants +2000 Vitality which is crazy to think about…' thought Bakorio in amazement before he activated this new sage mode, and immediately, some small dark marking stretched from his forehead, and stopped at around his cheeks. But he could feel like his blood felt like it was coming to life… although it was only a weak sensation since the skill was still at level 1.

'Right now, I have three sage art' Bakorio thought before he quickly opened his Senjutsu window and saw his current progress

[Senjutsu]

[Toad Sage Level 67]

[Snake Sage Level 100]

[Slug Sage Level 1]

'It would take a while for all of these to reach level 100 even with my fast training speed… I will see if I can learn the rest of the sage transformations before I decide if I should train the ones I have right now first or not…' thought Bakorio before he quickly went to find Kakashi.

….

After arriving at Kakashi's house, Bakorio noticed some sounds in the backyard so he decided to go there and he found Kakashi training Rin in her close combat and Kunai handling techniques…

They kept clashing and Kakashi would easily deal with any attacks she uses against him despite him not using his Sharingan and Rin was slowly getting frustrated with it until she noticed a boy with long dark hair that reached all the way to his lower back and blood-red eyes with three tomoe in them staring at them silently.

And her eyes widened slightly when she noticed that the boy was as tall as her!

Kakashi who already noticed Bakorio's presence suddenly stopped and said "We will stop here today" Rin immediately nodded and ran to Bakorio and kept comparing height with him with a pout on her face "Bakorio-kun, how come you are almost as tall as me…"

Bakorio didn't know what to say to this, he can't tell her that when his attributes increased thanks to his close combat mastery reaching level 100, his body grew bigger as a result so he only shrugged and said "I eat healthy" which made Rin pout even more…

"Bakorio, I heard you've been wanting to meet me is that right?" asked Kakashi all of a sudden surprising Rin who stared at the two of them curiously and Bakorio calmly nodded and said "Indeed, let's go to somewhere quiet"

Kakashi smiled awkwardly while shooting the angry Rin a look and she eventually said "Brat, how could you chase me away like that, Hmph let's see if this big sister doesn't teach you a listen"

Both Kakashi and Bakorio's mouths opened slightly as they thought 'Big sister' and Bakorio watched as Rin tried to catch him in slow motion before he waved his hand at her and turned around to Kakashi "Let's go"

Kakashi nodded in amazement while Rin's face froze before she suddenly turned upside down and found herself hanging from a tree as a few chakra strings held her in place

"AAAA, How did you do that? Untie me!" Yelled Rin but no one responded to her as they both entered Kakashi's house making her pout even more before she used a chakra scalpel to cut Bakorio's chakra strings… although with some difficulty

"I will train harder just to teach you a lesson" She muttered with determination before she went to continue her training with even more determination….

Meanwhile, inside the house, Kakashi and Bakorio quickly sat down facing each other as the former asked "How can I help you?"

Bakorio went straight to the point and said "I actually have some questions for your dog summon Pakkun, can you please summon him for me?"

'Hmm? He needs Pakkun? What for?' Kakashi was puzzled but he easily agreed and summoned Pakkun who immediately said with a frown "Kakashi, what did you summon here for? Do you have a mission or something?"

Kakashi calmly said "Bakorio wanted to meet you, please answer whatever questions he has"

Pakkun turned around and observed Bakorio closely and he shuddered slightly when he stared at his eyes…

"Brat what do you want?" Asked Pakkun and Bakorio simply said "Are you related to the dogs guarding the gate of hell? I have a few questions regarding them"

Bakorio noticed how Pakkun shivered slightly before he quickly regained his composure and said "I don't know what you are talking about brat, if that is all, I shall take my leave…"

Pakkun was about to reverse summon himself but Bakorio quickly caught him by his neck "little dog, what do you think is faster, you going back home, or me taking your life"

Pakkun stared at Bakorio's devilish smile and cursed him internally 'How in the hell did this boy learn about us, even Kakashi doesn't know this kind of information…'

"What's going on?" Asked Kakashi who didn't want to see a fight between his summon and Bakorio and Pakkun eventually sighed and said "Even if you kill me, I will never tell you anything"

Bakorio paused slightly before his devilish smile turned into a faint smile as he said "I see, I admire your loyalty…" before he let Pakkun down despite his shock…
