****************

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed since what had happened before.

At the Konoha Hospital, Colt, as usual, came there every morning to get some attributes. It was the usual routine, of the hospital in the mornings and training afterward. Which worked for him so far.

The only difference was that in the beginning, Colt only received about ten patients a day that he could get attributes from.

But now, that number has at least quadrupled which was impressive on its own, considering his age and the hesitation of people to seek him.

But there was a reason for it.

After discovering that Colt's healing technique has the means to heal grievous wounds, many seemingly healthy ninjas have found their way to him with their battered bodies.

It didn't hurt to try and see if they could be healed. That was the mentality most adopted before they visited him.

And Colt was also quite the profiteer, never fully healing them all at once. Instead, he stops when they reach the standard for rewards given by the system and asks them to come back in a few days.

The obvious excuse was that segmented treatment would have better results. In reality, it's just to milk them for attributes a few more times.

Proper profit-seeking behavior.

[Treated one patient, gain Chakra +2.5, Wind Nature Transformation +24, Points +2.]

The system prompt sounded in his mind, but Colt didn't change his expression as he said to the patient before him:

"Mr. Inuzuka, that's all for today's treatment. After three more sessions, your right foot will recover."

Hearing this, the Inuzuka clan ninja showed joy.

"Thank you, little genius healer! I'll come back in two days."

After that, he walked out of the office with a cane.

"Little genius doctor or whatever..."

Because of his healing power, in the past six months, none of the wounded Colt has treated remained uncured.

Gradually, his fame spread to a small extent. He doesn't know who called him that first, but then the hospital nurses and medical-nin all used the moniker.

Well now, even the patients know it.

Taking off his white coat, Colt's task for today was also completed.

When he walked out of the hospital door, he saw a pretty white-eyed girl standing there with a bento box.

"Hinata, sorry for keeping you waiting."

Walking in front of Hinata, a gentle smile appeared on Colt's face as he gently rubbed her dark bluish hair.

"I, I just arrived too, Colt-kun."

Feeling the warmth on her head, Hinata's face quickly turned red as she blushed, and the

hands holding the food box trembled slightly.

'Colt-kun touched my head, so comfortable.'

Now she was much better than before, at least she wasn't shy when speaking.

However, even so, physical contact was stepping on a tipping point.

Colt put down his hand in time and took the food box from the girl's hands.

'Too much. Although I want to make Hinata more confident and cheerful, pushing too hard would be counterproductive.'

That's it for now, let Hinata adapt step-by-step.

It's head pats now, in a few years hugs, and at the end...

'No, no, no. My purpose was only to help Hinata change herself, how can I think that way?'

After righteous self-criticism, Colt began to enjoy the food brought by Hinata.

He picked up a piece of fried shrimp tempura and bit into it.

In an instant, the sweetness of the shrimp and the crispy texture of the skin burst forth, causing Colt to narrow his eyes happily.

"Hinata, your cooking skills have improved again!"

That's right, this bento was all made by Hinata's own hands.

Knowing Colt would come to the hospital for work every morning, Hinata would bring him a lunch box when she could go out.

Once Colt joked that he wanted to eat a bento made by Hinata herself. As a result, the little girl took it seriously.

Since then, she has been practicing cooking diligently.

Up to now, Hinata's craftsmanship has become very good. Coupled with the Hyuga clan's lofty standards, all top-quality ingredients were used.

The food she makes was not inferior to the chefs of some restaurants.

However, the price of this lunch was not cheap - enough for Naruto to eat ramen for half a month.

Hinata on the side was also very happy, as earning praise from Colt was her greatest hope.

"Are you going back to training after eating?"

Hinata has a good understanding of Colt's living habits - at the hospital in the morning and training in the afternoon.

Today, she was approved by her father to spend a long time outside playing. Of course, she wanted to spend this half-day with Colt.

Although it was said that Colt trained her to be by his side, it was a pity they couldn't today.

However, Colt shook his head. "I won't be exercising today; I'm taking a half day off."

The plan he had made at the beginning could not keep up with his progress.

He was too young - no matter how he trained, there were limits to the attributes he could

build.

After all, even in the ninja world, human bodily growth must follow natural laws.

He has a Sage Body, granting a fast growth rate and a high ceiling. But the efficiency of simple training will gradually decrease.

Instead of wasting time grinding inefficiently, he should think of other ways to improve.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moreover, Colt naturally saw the expectation in Hinata's eyes.

Thinking that for the past six months, Hinata has been silently staying by his side, his heart

softened.

"Hinata, let's take a stroll around Konoha this afternoon."
