Chapter 9: progress
### The Next Day
Takuya Senju woke up from a deep sleep, feeling refreshed. The previous night's experience had been overwhelmingly delightful. As he gazed at Uzumaki Kushina's delicate face and her snow-white body peeking from under the quilt, he couldn't help but smile.
"Takuya, are you awake?" Kushina asked, her voice soft and sweet. She brushed her long red hair behind her ear and started to get up. "I'll go cook for you now."
"No need," Takuya said, gently pulling her back. "It's still early. Let's spend some more time together."
Without waiting for her response, he pulled her closer, wanting to confirm if he could still receive the same reward as the previous day.
...
**[Ding!]**
**[Love with his wife Uzumaki kushina and get rewards: physique +1, Chakra +1!]**
Takuya's mood lifted as he felt the familiar rush of energy. This daily reward system was a game-changer. If he kept this up, his power could reach unimaginable heights.
"Takuya, I... I can't stand it anymore. Let's eat first, okay?" Kushina said weakly, her body exhausted but her eyes sparkling with affection.
Takuya smiled and gently stroked her hair. "You rest, kushina. I'll prepare breakfast today."
He quickly dressed, washed up, and headed to the kitchen. In no time, a simple but delicious meal was ready. Takuya brought the breakfast to Kushina, feeding her lovingly.
"Thank you, Takuya. You're so kind," Kushina said, touched by his gesture.
"It's me who should thank you," Takuya replied, his voice filled with meaning. The rewards he received from her were invaluable, both in power and in personal growth.
After breakfast, Takuya decided to test his newfound abilities. He walked to the huge lake in the Senju clan's territory and began practicing ninjutsu.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball erupted from his hands, distorting the air with its heat and creating a mist as it evaporated the water in the lake.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
A fierce wind blew the water mist away, clearing the air almost instantly.
"Water Style: Waterfall Basin Technique!"
A colossal waterfall appeared, crashing down into the lake and stirring up huge waves. Water droplets fell like rain, creating a serene yet powerful spectacle.
Takuya breathed a sigh of relief after the intense practice. The Vortex Immortal Human Body was astonishingly effective. Despite using several high-level jutsus, his chakra reserves were barely depleted and were already regenerating at a rapid rate.
He then moved on to physical training. His enhanced body felt lighter, stronger, and more resilient. Speed, strength, endurance, and recovery—all had improved drastically. Even without ninjutsu, his physical prowess alone was formidable enough to challenge elite jonin.
As he finished his training, he felt someone approaching.
"Huh? Is it kushina?" Takuya wondered, turning to see who was coming.
### Arrival of the Visitor
As the figure came closer, Takuya realized it wasn't Kushina but another familiar face. It was Tsunade, his cousin and one of the most powerful members of the Senju clan.
"Takuya, you've been working hard," Tsunade said, a hint of pride in her voice. "I've been watching your progress. It's impressive."
"Tsunade-nee, thank you. I've had some breakthroughs recently," Takuya replied, smiling.
"I can see that. But remember, power isn't everything. Control and strategy are equally important," Tsunade advised, her tone turning serious.
"I understand. I've been working on mastering my abilities, not just increasing them," Takuya reassured her.
"Good. Keep that in mind. The Senju clan's legacy is in your hands now," Tsunade said, placing a hand on his shoulder before heading back to her duties.
Takuya watched her leave, feeling a renewed sense of responsibility. With his growing power and the wisdom of his family, he was determined to revive the Senju clan to its former glory. Every day was a step closer to achieving that goal.
