Chapter 119 Big Brother, I never knew you were secretly taking drugs.
"Hmm, this sunlight is a bit too bright..."
"Where is this? Eh, how did we end up at my older brother's house?"
Early in the morning, as the morning sun streamed into the room through the window, Taro and Jiro, who were huddled together on the floor, slowly woke up and called out to each other.
"Nonsense, you two were exhausted last night, I don't want to bother taking you back." Ishikawa, seemingly woken up by the two of them, responded calmly from the bed.
He then got up and, pretending to be in a hurry to urinate, rushed straight to the bathroom.
"Uh, that seems to be right. I remember I collapsed from exhaustion at the training ground last night."
"Me too, I didn't expect to trouble you to take us home. But speaking of which, isn't my house on the way?"
"Taro, you idiot, even if it's on the way, you should follow the streets. If you take a straight line from the rooftop, it's closer to home."
"Haha, you're right! I need to go to the bathroom too..."
The two quickly sobered up after a few words, and Taro jumped up and rushed to the bathroom, waiting anxiously outside the door. "Big brother, hurry up, I can't hold it in anymore!"
"Me too!" Jiro hurriedly chimed in, but as soon as he stood up, his expression suddenly changed, and his gaze turned strange. "Huh? Why do I feel so much lighter? And why don't I feel the soreness I usually experience after exhausting myself during training today?"
"Huh? So that means I'm the same! That's strange, what's going on?" Hearing Jiro's question, Taro also realized what was going on and nodded in surprise. Apart from needing to urinate, he felt refreshed and full of energy.
He wasn't like this before. Immediately, the two exchanged a puzzled glance...
"Don't even think about it! I gave you a special medicine when you came back last night, otherwise how could you be so energetic today?" Just as the two were looking at each other, Ishikawa opened the bathroom door and came out.
"A special remedy?"
"What is this?? Never mind, I need to pee first..."
"Wait, let me go first!"
The two underlings exclaimed again and were about to ask more questions, but halfway through their sentences, their faces suddenly turned bitter, and they covered their crotches, pushing and shoving each other as they rushed into the bathroom.
[Just as I expected, they found out so easily! If they progress too quickly, it could really cause trouble, and might even attract the attention of the Third Hokage. Well then, I'll take it slow! Anyway, there's still a year and a half before the main story begins...] Listening to the two of them splashing around in the bathroom, Ishikawa sighed and quickly tidied up the bedding on the floor.
"Big brother, big brother, how can we let you do this? We'll take care of it!"
"Yes, yes! After all, we troubled you last night and even used that secret medicine you mentioned."
Just as Ishikawa was putting away the bedding, Taro and Jiro rushed out of the bathroom one after the other, showering him with attention.
Seeing this, Ishikawa did not refuse. He laid out the bedding, opened the windows and doors to ventilate the room, and let the two of them start cleaning.
"By the way, what is that special medicine you mentioned earlier, brother? I was so exhausted last night that I felt like I had inexhaustible energy and was full of spirit."
“That’s right, me too! No wonder you were always so energetic after each training session. I originally thought it was because you were exceptionally talented, but I never expected you were secretly taking drugs.”
The two of them kept asking questions as they worked, showing great curiosity about that special secret medicine.
In the world of ninjas, there are many family secret medicines, such as the essential ration pills or blood-boosting pills for ninjas, but this kind of recovery medicine is the first time they have ever heard of it.
"Tch, I'm a genuine genius. I can recover quickly even without that stuff." Ishikawa crossed his arms, feigning disdain. Before the two could question him, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and his expression turned solemn. "Taro, Jiro, if you still consider me your older brother, don't ask any more questions. You just need to know that this secret medicine is very rare and can help you strengthen your bodies and increase your chakra!"
"If you weren't my acknowledged younger brothers, I wouldn't have given you this top-secret trump card that belongs to ninjas. Anyway, I will continue to help you break through your limits..."
"I don't want you to sacrifice yourselves in a mission because you're too weak, and have your names engraved on a memorial stone."
"Big brother!!" "Big brother..."
Instantly, Tarojiro, who was cleaning, exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that my older brother Ishikawa would tell them such an important secret!"
Although this kind of secret medicine is nothing special in large clans, it is absolutely top-secret information that could turn ordinary civilian ninjas into enemies!
But now, their older brother has been so frank and honest about it, even saying he'll continue to support them in their efforts to improve themselves. How could the two not be moved to tears?
"Alright, stop dawdling and hurry up and get ready to receive your mission. If you really want to thank me, then you'd better put in your best effort and train like crazy in the future, and don't hold me back in the missions." Seeing his two underlings' faces full of loyalty, Ishikawa felt relieved and jokingly urged them on.
Indeed, he had countless excuses to fool the two into believing that it was their own hard work and accumulated experience. But under those circumstances, how could the two of them completely submit to him and become his trusted followers?
Doing good deeds anonymously? Haha! Only a fool would do that; it might even backfire and create a dangerous situation.
It's unlikely she'd betray him after years of relationship, but getting both of them to obediently keep his secrets would be very difficult!
As for concerns about intelligence leaks? Not at all.
Unless they're both idiots, they wouldn't let go of this opportunity to break through their limitations. After all, they already recognized him as their elder brother, so why would they change their minds now that there's a stake in it?
Even if the information is leaked, so what? The so-called secret medicine is both a good medicine and a poison! If you're not afraid of turning into a block of wood, feel free to try it.
Soon, while Ishikawa was lost in thought, his two underlings finished cleaning with great enthusiasm. The three of them went out for breakfast, chatting and laughing all the way to the Hokage Building.
Unfortunately, they didn't have any missions today, which left Ishikawa and his two companions disappointed!
"Speaking of which, I really feel different today! Not only is my chakra stronger, but I also feel much better at controlling it." In the training ground, Taro was pleasantly surprised by the changes in his body.
Jiro, standing beside him, nodded vigorously, looking at his older brother Ishikawa with deep gratitude, too excited to speak!
"Alright, since there's no mission, let's continue training. Today, focus on mastering your own abilities and familiarizing yourself with ninjutsu. This afternoon, we'll continue with swordsmanship training." Ishikawa waved his hand to dismiss the two, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He was aware of the changes in the two of them, of course; it was the result of their initial encounter with the doorknob's cheat code. After several months of this "doorknob cheat code," Ishikawa had figured out its effects.
The first time is the most effective. No, I should say that before 0.3 chakra, every touch has a pleasing and rapid effect.
However, after breaking through to 0.4 chakra, the increase in door handle power wasn't as monstrous as before. Although it was still decent, it would likely decrease over time. It didn't grow exponentially as Ishikawa had initially anticipated.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If each time the chakra is doubled or increased by 20% or 30%, then the energy release from the doorknob would be quite interesting!
Fortunately, there were no problems with his recovery, and his physical fitness improved significantly, which gave Ishikawa the confidence to face the endless stream of big bosses that followed.
