Mikoto felt spent. The night did not end for them until it was morning already with Kai growing more and more relentless as if he had unlimited stamina and Mikoto may just consider that the truth for Kai at this point. If the duo did have some problems, in the beginning, their situation was far better than most. Mikoto knew she had to bear the pain but the Sage Arts variation of Mystical Palm Technique— Mystical Sage Palms eased the situation greatly. Not only did Mikoto feel good in a matter of seconds, her body actually adapted to Kai's size at a breakneck pace as her virgin cunt widened to its absolute limits while still gripping Kai's filling treat with every ounce of pressure it could manage.

And to top it all off, they could get as messy as they wanted and try things they only imagined given that the risk of pregnancy was 0.0000001%. Make no doubt, it was there, but too low to be considered a trimester menace.

As such, while Mikoto slept in the room saturated with the scent of sex, Kai kissed the top of her head with a satisfied smirk, covered her up, and opened the windows to clear the air. Mikoto, as a new Jonin Sensei could change the time of the meeting with her squad but Kai, as a member of a three-men cell could not directly disobey the orders and he needed to meet with his new team this morning. Sensing that Kushina and Nono were still asleep and no longer having their ears pressed to the wall from the adjacent room, Kai quickly freshened up and gazed at the two skills he could grind personally after hours of 'hard' work.

[Gusty Shinobi's Relieving Tactics (5/5)]

[Acupuncture Delights (1/1)]

The former skill was information type and... Kai had a reason to doubt that this was something their village's own Toad Sage compiled. Honestly, Kai's respect for Jiraiya grew to another level as the skill was filled with... 'details' on what to do to get the 'quickest' results. As such, Mikoto made a mess out of their mattress in no time!

Acupuncture technique was known in their training as Iryo Ninjutsu and as such part of mystical palm techniques but directly massaging these points also had various reactions, especially if chakra is used as a medium.

Looking at Mikoto, Kai couldn't help but lean down and peck her once again while dressing himself up.

The training mesh shirt, as usual, while cranking up the weight of the vest directly to 20 tonnes, and then came his wrist and ankle weights in the form of thin bands made out of threads refined from chakra ores. Each of these bands was cranked upto 6 tonnes, making it so that Kai had to bear the weight of 44 tonnes while using chakra to cushion the bits and spaces between his feet and the floor. This wasn't Kai's peak but after mastering Sage Transformation, Kai realized that a more effective and 'permanent' method of increasing his physical strength wasn't by the progressive overload of weights on his body but through the feedback of stronger chakra.

Kai wasn't a powerlifter enthusiast but a grind enthusiast. His goal was to get stronger, either through weights or chakra. It was just that this option was available only to a few like him.

Putting on a dark grey shirt and tanned pants, he wore the usual flak jacket while making sure to double check all the equipments sealed on his body AND the stock of exploding tags in a scroll. He had yet to master a few of Second Hokage's Kinjutsu so it was stacking the exploding tags like a noob for Kai.

Satisfied, Kai left the pad after checking the security seals of the house and left with chipper steps. It was only 6 in the morning but Kai knew that Sakumo would not appreciate any latecomers. After all, Sakumo did not like a team and usually completed his missions alone under Hokage's discretion but if he is getting a team now then it must be because of Hokage himself.

And his team was interesting... to say the least. Given that Tsunade's initial reform for including the iryo nin into a three-man cell has been revised constantly over the period, a medic-nin MUST succeed in two evaluations aside from the assessment from the hospital before being deployed to missions beyond the rank of C.

First is the basic fitness index and the other one is the basic combat index. Both of them were devised by Tsunade. The basic fitness index meant that the medic-nin must have one of his or her physical parameters high enough. To test this, the participants are made to take various activities that push their bodies to a limit and they must be able to complete the requirement of at least one such activity. Again, this was still under development through constant feedback from the Administration of the Village based on mission reports.

The combat index, as the name suggested, tested Medic Nin's combat awareness and readiness. The test and its requirements are always versatile and as such, is only conducted three times a year with the highest turnover for failures but the initial medic nins who survived the war were excused from these tests.

And, being Tsunade's apprentice, more importantly, her guardian... Kai was marked as the Team's Medic.

It was amusing, truly. But Kai supposed that he could preemptively heal his teammates by negating threats, right?

As he neared the entrance of the village, he felt Cinnamon curl further in his sleeve as a wry expression touched his lip...

"You really don't like Kuro, huh?" Kai smirked while poking against the unnatural shift under his sleeve above his left wrist weight. The soft, almost unnoticeable hiss relayed all her discontent towards the slobbering beast as a loud, excited bark alongside a wild howl marked with a distinctly feminine tone broke the silence of the morning.

*Woof*

"Alpha!"

With speed befitting a race car on Kuromaru, a grinning teen with her brown hair spiking out as a bestial mane and her canines fully displayed charged at Kai before obediently stopping in front of him. The black-eyed, golden-pupilled hound, the same size as an average adult female, waggled its bushy tail while panting in front of him while Tsume climbed down and continued to stare at Kai silently, her nostrils twitching as she took in his scent.

Her pin-sized bestial pupils soon dilated and her eyes widened as she noted the distinct scent of pheromones associated with sex and knowing that Kai didn't wank off for some reason like others his biological age, she yelped, "You mated!"

"That's what you noticed?" Kai scoffed with a smirk as his words made Tsume physically take a step back and she frowned, "You... have a seal on your forehead like Tsunade-sama?"

Kai continued to stare at Tsume and she took another step back. Her gaze trailed his form entirely and she cocked her head sideways, "New... clothes? Oh, and who did you mate with? Nono? Hm... no, she's gained an alcoholic scent... Mikoto?"

Kai groaned, "I grew up, dumbass!" he shook his head before grinning, "And yeah, it was Mikoto. It was a lot of fun!"

Tsume nodded and then questioned, "Alright? So when I'm next?"

"When you grow old enough to handle me?" Kai replied back, "I grew three years older biologically. So, right now, I'm one year older than you."

"What?!" Tsume barked in surprise.

---

Though distressed, Sakumo knew why he was given this team specifically.

Looking at Tsume Inuzuka, Minato Namikaze, and Kai... the white-haired Hatake leader spoke calmly, "After his most recent, ill-advised experiment, Kai-kun has experienced an accelerated biological growth. For administrative reasons, Kai-kun's age in his records has also been shifted to his current biological age."

Letting out a distressed sigh, Sakumo looked at his new team and could see that Minato and his distant relative— Tsume, had a lot to speak.

"I am Sakumo Hatake, as you've been informed before. We can spend ten minutes here to familiarize each other with the reasons why this team was formed."

Taking a moment, Sakumo added, "The Administration detected waste of resources. Starting from the most obvious, Minato's potential was being wasted with Jiraiya still unavailable in the village. Second, Tsume was unable to cope with her teammates and had gotten out of hand. Truly, why does every talented kid needs to rebel against their Jonin-Sensei?" he sighed while recalling his son.

"Because they're unwilling to lower their heads to untalented shit shows who didn't even go to the war but like to brag about it!" Tsume scoffed and Kuromaru barked in affirmation.

"It was Barketorical." Sakumo narrowed his eyes and Minato grew visibly confused and Tsume waited for an explanation.

"You know? Bark and rhetorical?"

Tsume only frowned while Sakumo caught Kai silently shaking his head from the corner of his eyes. However, everyone except Kai failed to notice the 'admiration' bubbling in the blonde jutsu-researching freak who had a naming sense equivalent to Sakumo's puns.

'You've got to be kidding me...' Kai groaned inwardly.

"Ehm... anyway, Tsume, because of her potential and my experience with the Inuzuka Clan is sent here. And then there is the temporary addition from Team Tsunade— Kai. With Team Tsunade having a total of three Jonins, one of them elite, and none of them taking any significant mission, the administration deemed it necessary to assess your current strength for further changes. I'll be the one keeping an eye on your movements so do your best."

Sakumo explained everyone's situation and they looked at one another.

"Of course, it was also taken under consideration that Sunagakure is not making any major moves and thus, it was deemed that I must return to... be the oasis of your drying, desert-like career."

Kai and Tsume continue to stare at Sakumo, finding the fun in this pun was as hard as discovering a grain of salt in a vast... desert. Yet, Minato nodded to himself and added, "Hatake-san—"

"You all can refer to me with my first name. Not like I have to keep it a secret with my bounty increasing once again in the Bingo Book," Sakumo shrugged.

"Right, Sakumo-san, what should we expect to learn from you?"

However, Sakumo shook his head, "Nothing. I am not a Jonin Sensei but a Team Leader. Our collective task is none other than completing one B-ranked mission or higher per month. Every mission I am provided is of importance no matter the rank so we will NOT have leeways during failure."

Kai caught on quickly, "Provided, not picked?"

"Exactly. One of the reasons I could work alone was because I did not pick my missions but did what was asked," Sakumo explained, "And given your situation and quirks, for the time being, the same condition is being applied to all of you. Of course, this is to measure your individual talent, the two of you, I mean."

He pointed at Minato and Tsume.

"The final objective of Team Sakumo, however, is to make up for lost training for the two of you to a certain extent through the missions. After every mission, you will get plenty of time to train, which would suit the needs of the team."

The kids nodded while Sakumo took another look at Kai. As stated, Sakumo had adapted to many instinctive techniques of the Inuzuka Clan to form his own, and right now... his instincts were screaming madly and shrilly to NOT face Kai. The youth was able to spar with him quite well after the three years of the gap once the Second War was concluded but... this was different. Sakumo, and internally, Tsume, too, felt that Kai was a whole different beast.

While the former was more surprised, the latter only felt natural as Kai was Tsume's recognized Alpha and in her eyes, he NEEDED to remain stronger than her to be the goal she worked towards, no matter how slow she was.

As such, even if Kai became the most terrifying existence to her senses currently, far surpassing the threat she felt from Sakumo, Tsume only wondered how much must she grow to 'handle' him since he didn't deny her desires. He never did. All he did was place a condition.
