"Kiyoshi, you have no issues."
Nonō Yakushi concluded, and the pale green chakra that had been emanating from her hand receded.
Hearing this, Kiyoshi said:
"But, I heard that everyone awakens their Sharingan in both eyes at the same time."
"There will always be special circumstances."
"I see."
Kiyoshi lowered his head.
He was aware of this answer.
In the original work, this situation occurred with Sasuke.
During his fight with Haku, one of Sasuke's Sharingan evolved into a two-tomoe Sharingan while the other remained a one-tomoe, resulting in one eye being single-tomoe and the other double-tomoe.
It was just an extremely rare case.
Nonō Yakushi carefully sealed the inspection instruments into a storage scroll, her peripheral vision catching Kiyoshi's thin figure, his dark eyes watching her.
Kiyoshi was very unfamiliar with her current appearance, being more acquainted with her other form.
Wearing a white hood and black nun's habit.
Even casual movements outlined her rounded figure.
She was a very mature, saintly figure.
At the same time, Kiyoshi was also processing other information about Nonō Yakushi.
Captain of the Medical Corps, and a highly skilled spy in Root's Intelligence Division.
Her espionage ability was so great that even after she retired, Danzō Shimura personally sought her out, coercing her to continue serving Root.
Therefore, Kiyoshi never intended to try to deceive Nonō Yakushi.
He answered whatever she asked.
As for whether Kiyoshi was a spy...
The Hidden Cloud was unilaterally trying to recruit Kiyoshi Yotsuki, Uchiha Kiyoshi hadn't even responded yet.
He had never engaged in any espionage activities.
As for whether he would in the future...
That was a problem for later.
"By the way, Lady Nonō Yakushi, was the green chakra that appeared in your hand just now the same as the one Lady Tsunade used?"
Kiyoshi suddenly looked up, his voice carrying a hint of curiosity.
"That's right. That is medical chakra. The chakra of the Hidden Leaf's medical ninjas turns pale green in color externally."
Nonō Yakushi nodded, a strand of blonde hair falling down as she spoke.
When medical ninjas use medical ninjutsu, their chakra mostly turns pale green, with the Mystical Palm Technique being the most typical example.
Nonō Yakushi saw Kiyoshi continuously staring at the sealing scroll where she stored her instruments, and asked:
"Are you interested in these?"
She knew that Tsunade had checked Kiyoshi's Sharingan.
She guessed that Tsunade had used medical ninjutsu for the examination, leaving an impression on Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi's gaze fell on the sealing scroll she had just put away, and he asked thoughtfully:
"These medical ninjutsu... can I learn them?"
Nonō Yakushi was slightly surprised, pausing for a moment at the sudden request.
She scrutinized Kiyoshi up and down. Although the boy was very slender, she could tell that Kiyoshi had a large frame. If trained, he would make for a good Taijutsu ninja.
"Kiyoshi, you might be better suited to study Taijutsu."
"Taijutsu ninja?"
Mikoto glanced at Kiyoshi. She had heard that Kiyoshi possessed some Yotsuki Clan characteristics.
Mikoto didn't know what these characteristics were.
Perhaps it was talent or certain aspects that surpassed ordinary people, giving him unexpected abilities.
"But... perhaps there might be other clan members with the same situation as me. At that time, I could be like Lady Nonō Yakushi and Lady Tsunade, and diagnose our clan members."
Kiyoshi didn't hide the disappointment in his eyes. He lowered his voice, scratching his head as if trying to conceal his inner letdown: "So it still won't work..."
For a moment, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.
It was impossible not to be disappointed, if Nonō Yakushi also rejected him, Kiyoshi would have to make new plans.
The [Art of Speaking (White)] Trait made Kiyoshi's tone sound more sincere.
Nonō Yakushi's heart skipped a beat.
She always liked children, especially those who had lost their dependence.
"Don't worry."
She said softly, trying to comfort the seemingly pathetic child in front of her.
"When you graduate from the Ninja Academy, if your aptitude passes the medical ninja preliminary test, come find me."
Nonō Yakushi spoke a few more words than she usually would.
If an adult had come to her, she would have simply told them to take the test on their own and follow the normal rules, without getting involved personally.
But from the files she received from Root, Nonō Yakushi knew that Kiyoshi had been an orphan since he was two years old.
All these years, she actually harbored a desire: to open an orphanage after retiring from Root.
Kiyoshi's appearance intensified this aspiration.
"Really?"
Kiyoshi's eyes instantly brightened, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.
The subtle melancholic mood seemed to have dissipated a bit as well.
Nonō Yakushi nodded, a gentle smile hanging on her lips:
"Why would I lie to you?"
Mikoto, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but take another look at Kiyoshi.
This child was somewhat different compared to the other Uchiha clan members.
Tsunade, who had examined him last time, was cold towards him and had no intention of taking him as a student, but Nonō Yakushi seemed to have been moved by the idea of teaching him.
Moreover, according to Nonō Yakushi, he also possessed talent in Taijutsu.
The current Uchiha clan lacked both medical ninjas and specialized Taijutsu ninjas.
Uchiha ninjas, after graduating from the Ninja Academy, all entered the Hidden Leaf Military Police Force to manage village security and execute missions.
She herself was also part of this system.
"Alright, little Kiyoshi, I have things to do, so that will be all for today."
Nonō Yakushi stood up, tidying her sealing scroll.
Before leaving, her gaze swept over the books placed on the chair.
He was a studious child.
Nonō Yakushi assessed him internally.
"Understood. Thank you, Lady Nonō Yakushi."
Kiyoshi politely stood up, intending to see Nonō Yakushi off.
He and Mikoto saw Nonō Yakushi off to the boundary between the Uchiha compound and the Hidden Leaf streets.
There was an archaic gate there, marking the Uchiha's territory.
"Go back and practice well."
Mikoto left those words and hurried away.
Kiyoshi walked home alone.
The moon and stars were sparse along the way, it was already night.
Kiyoshi let out a soft breath.
This matter had gone much more smoothly than he had imagined.
It made sense, Nonō Yakushi would teach medical ninjutsu even to orphans who weren't Hidden Leaf villagers, let alone him?
Furthermore, Nonō Yakushi was also considering retirement, so she probably had fewer reservations.
Currently, she had no weakness.
It was only in the future, when she became the orphanage director, that the orphans would be used as hostages by Danzō to blackmail her into becoming a spy again, infiltrating an enemy nation.
"Next, I need to quickly improve my chakra control ability to meet the standard."

The next day, on the Ninja Academy training field.
"Today's class is a quick test. You need to run fifty laps!"
The instructor, blew his whistle, signaling the students to start running.
"Ah, running again."
"How many? Fifty?"
