Chapter 11: Chapter 11
In the morning, at a house in the Uchiha district...
"Ughhh, damn, my stomach hurts... It hurts so bad..."
After drinking the water Duy gave me, I got poisoned...
"Guard!! Get over here!" I decided to cancel my training with Duy.
Not long after I called, one of the guards arrived.
"Good morning, young master. What do you need?"
"Cancel yesterday's mission... Oh, wait, don't cancel it. Let him come and have a sparring match with all the guards, a taijutsu spar. Honestly, you guys are trash compared to him."
The guard, a chunin, felt insulted because he was ordered to spar with just a genin.
"But sir... Duy is just a genin."
Hearing that, I looked at him coldly.
Just a genin? That bastard took down four out of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone!
"Shut up, bastard, just listen to me. At least give it a try. If he loses, you won't have to spar with Duy again."
I left him right away—I needed to shower, eat, and then head to Konoha Hospital.
Tok!.... tok!.... tok!
Just as I finished my shower, I heard someone knocking on the door. I thought it was the guard again, so I just told them to come in.
"Come in! It's not locked..."
After that, I got dressed and went to the front room to see who had come to my place.
"Hello, Inami-chan, what's up?"
Well, to my surprise, it wasn't the guard again—it was Inami.
"Nothing much, Ale. Kurasawa-san said you got poisoned yesterday, so I came to check on you."
Kurasawa is the name of one of the Uchiha guards watching over my house.
"Ohh! No worries, Inami, I'm fine. I was just about to go to the hospital... waiting for my food order from Kurasawa-san."
"Ohh, I already brought you some food! Come on, try it, I made it myself!"
Inami handed me a food box... Inside was pork curry.
"Ohh!! Thanks, Inami... Let's eat together. You haven't eaten yet, right?"
I invited Inami to eat with me. Why? No real reason. She's cute, that's all... But the problem is, I can't use chopsticks! Aside from my hands still being sore, I've never been good at using chopsticks, to begin with!
Inami and I sat at the dining table... As she opened the food, I stared at her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Ale?"
She noticed and asked.
"Nothing, really. It's just that I think I have trouble moving my hands. My hands are sore all over! Yesterday, I trained from morning till evening."
"Ale, do you want me to feed you? Say 'ahhh'~"
Inami started feeding me with chopsticks... Well, it's not that I can't move my hands—I just can't use chopsticks...
Anyway, I'd rather let Inami feed me than look stupid struggling with chopsticks.
"Thanks, Inami!"

After eating with Inami, we went to the hospital together.
Casual conversation.
"Ale, are you ready for the academy?"
"Mentally, yeah. I'm training for it. There are still four months before it starts, anyway."
"Hmm, yeah, but why don't you train with the others?"
"I train at home, Inami... If you want, you can come train here too. Just drop by every morning. My guards are all chunin, you can ask them to teach you!"
"Really? Are you sure that's okay?"
"Of course! Who's gonna stop me? Hahaha!"
---- Haha ha ha, grooming kids, aren't you? BTW, if you go to the hospital, your training won't be over. After that, you'll meet Anko! Ahahaha!
"Inami, I don't think I'll go after all."
I stopped in my tracks and turned around.
"What? You're not going to the hospital?"
"Yeah, Inami, we have to train! You also gave me delicious food just now, and my stomach is already feeling better!"
Inami's cheeks turned red, and she stammered.
---- Affirmative! Digestive condition 87% normal.
"Eh... Euh... Alright, l-let's just train then."
I headed back home with Inami. BTW, it was already around 8 AM... The sky was clear.
When we arrived home, I saw....
