Stepping Up Is Not My Cup Chapter 6

In the evening, after dinner, Aiden Uchiha sat on the corridor outside the house, his legs dangling in the air.

He was holding a book about the history of the Uchiha clan in his hands and reading it casually.

"Dong Shilang is ready, come over here."

Eliza Uchiha's voice came from inside the house. Following the voice, Dong Shilang came to the bathroom inside the house. At this time, Eliza Uchiha was busy with her hair tied up beside a large wooden barrel. White water drops flowed down from her forehead along her temples. I don't know if it was because of the steam in the bathroom or because of fatigue!

"There are a few more herbs that need to wait until you, Aiden Uchiha, successfully refine the chakra before they can be added. This way, the efficacy will be better."

Looking at the relatively large bathtub in front of him, Dong Shilang hesitated for a moment.

On the one hand, the brown "bath water" exuded a strong smell of Chinese medicine, which made him feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, the temperature of the medicine in the bucket was too hot.

The last reason is that he, a man with a mental age of 30, undressed in front of a 16- or 17-year-old girl. What kind of look is this? Although he has gradually given up treatment in the past few days (▽

As if she had noticed Aiden Uchiha's hesitation, the girl named Eliza Uchiha narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly. She picked him up with one hand and quickly stripped off his coat, shirt, trousers and the last line of defense. She then "threw" him into the bathtub.

"Ah! It's so hot! It's so hot! It's so hot!" Instinctively, Dong Shilang held onto the tub with both hands. He jumped up and tried to escape from the scalding tub.

At this moment, a snow-white arm suddenly reached out and held his head, pushing him back into the tub as he tried to jump out of it.

"If you can't even bear this little pain, then you'd better give up the idea of   becoming a ninja as soon as possible." Looking at Aiden Uchiha whose skin was red from being burned in the bathtub, Eliza Uchiha did not take back her hand that was pressing on his head.

As a ninja, learning to endure pain is his first lesson. In a ninja's career, there are physical pains such as physical training, learning ninjutsu, injuries, bleeding, and even being killed. There are also mental pains. During the mission, the death of teachers, companions, relatives, friends, and even lovers is common.

"Okay, Sister Mika. Don't press my head anymore. I've slowly gotten used to it." Dong Shilang was almost standing in the bathtub, breathing heavily, his skin turned red from the scalds in the tub.

"Oh, you've gradually adapted to it. Then I'm going to start the next step..." As he spoke, he retracted his right hand. He bent down and took out a few pieces of wood from somewhere. He waved them in front of Dong Shilang's eyes. He stuffed them into a stone secret door at the bottom of the barrel. He formed seals with his hands and blew out a mouthful of hot flames to ignite the wood.

Then he took out a thermometer from somewhere and put it in his hand.

"Watch out, if the temperature is over 70 degrees, Dongshilang will be cooked... and the higher the temperature of the medicinal bath, the better the effect!"

Watching Eliza Uchiha's actions, Dong Shilang suddenly felt a little regretful. Shouldn't he have become a ninja? Or if he wanted to become a ninja, he should just be an ordinary ninja, and there's no need to work so hard.

At the same time, he couldn't help but curse in his heart. Others who traveled through time either had a golden finger or an old grandfather, or at least a system! But when he came here, he had nothing, except a crappy Uchiha identity.

As he cursed, Dong Shilang couldn't help but feel like crying. It's tragic to think about it. Others traveled through time. They graduated at the age of five, killed Chunin at the age of six, became Jonin at the age of seven, and became Kage at the age of eight. When they practiced, they ate, dated girls, and had a smooth journey. But when it came to him, he was almost like a boiled lion's head, and this was just the first step of a long journey. A long sigh, the same person has a different fate!

Aiden Uchiha used his complaints to distract himself. He endured step by step. On the other side, Eliza Uchiha stared at the thermometer closely. One hand was on Aiden Uchiha's back, feeling his heartbeat. From time to time, he adjusted the temperature of the flame to control the water temperature. He was also busy and sweating.

Time always passes slowly in pain. However, no matter how long the pain lasts, it will eventually come to an end. Just when Dong Shilang felt that he was about to faint, Eliza Uchiha pulled him out of the bathtub. At this time, Dong Shilang's body was red, like a cooked prawn. His head was also dizzy.

"Dong Shilang! Dong Shilang! Are you okay?" Dong Shilang, who had just wrapped himself in a blanket, finally breathed a sigh of relief and regained a little clarity.

"Sister Mika, will every medicinal bath in the future be like today?" If every medicinal bath was as painful as today, he felt that he didn't even need to become a ninja, and it wouldn't be long before he was done for.

"Of course not. With Aiden Uchiha's successful chakra refinement, it will be easier to cope with the high temperature of the medicinal bath." Eliza Uchiha answered as she walked towards the bedroom while holding Aiden Uchiha.

Seeing the child in her arms sighing with relief, she smiled jokingly. "The tribe's prescription has been improved many times. The higher the temperature of the medicinal bath, the longer it lasts, and the longer it lasts, the better the effect will be."

"Most children don't last more than three years. And the temperature of the medicine soup doesn't reach the most suitable high temperature."

Hearing this, Dong Shilang couldn't help but frown. The higher the temperature, the longer the time, the better the effect. It feels like the more you torture yourself, the better the effect.

"What idiot invented this recipe? Did he use it himself?"

"Okay, stop complaining, it's time to start the second part."

"The second step? Isn't it that after taking the medicinal bath, you can just rest and absorb the medicinal effects?"

Putting Dong Shilang on the bed "is to better absorb the medicinal properties, so there is a second step"

"Begin" Eliza Uchiha warned and started. With a crisp "click" sound, Aiden Uchiha's right hand twisted in the direction of the joint.

"Hmm! Hum!" Ignoring the child's groan of pain, Eliza Uchiha continued to move her hands. She explained to him that "after the ultra-high temperature medicinal bath is the best time to stretch the muscles and bones." As she spoke, she helped him up. "Ka!" There was another crisp sound. Then she tried all the difficult and challenging movements that she had never dared to think of in her previous life, such as bending down, high kicking, and splits.
