"Kiyoshi-kun is from the Uchiha clan, haven't you learned it yet?"
Nohara Rin asked curiously.
Although Kiyoshi-kun came from the Land of Lightning, his surname was "Uchiha."
The Uchiha were a powerful ninja clan in the village, and they also held sole authority over the Konoha Police Department; it was, without exaggeration, a powerful clan in Konoha!
"In the Uchiha clan, you can't just learn ninjutsu whenever you want,"
Obito said, running over to Rin as soon as class ended and she came to talk to Kiyoshi.
"To prevent clan members from abusing ninjutsu or being overly ambitious, these all require approval from the senior members in charge of management,"
Obito explained confidently.
Otherwise, wouldn't everyone just choose the most powerful ninjutsu from the start?
"I see,"Nohara Rin nodded, her short hair swaying, a few strands of black hair falling over the purple markings on either side of her face.
She was just a commoner and didn't know much about these things.
"So, Nohara Rin-kun, could you teach me?"
Kiyoshi asked, his dark eyes fixed on Nohara Rin.
Rin Nohara's image was reflected in her pupils. Perhaps due to the approaching autumn, her clothing was much thicker.
Rin Nohara was of use; learning from her would allow her to become stronger more quickly.
After all, Rin Nohara was a medical genius, as evidenced by her mastery of Healing Palm Technique at the Chunin level.
What level of ninjutsu is Healing Palm Technique?
The answer is A-rank!
This is second only to S-rank ninjutsu in terms of learning difficulty, and medical ninjutsu is often harder to learn than ordinary ninjutsu.
This is because it requires a greater focus on the subtle "control" of chakra; even a slight error can lead to disastrous results.
This demonstrates Rin Nohara's talent in this area, and A-rank Healing Palm Technique is not something easily mastered.
Tsunade suggested incorporating medical ninjas into mission teams and proposed establishing a training mechanism for medical ninjas during World War II.
It's only been a few years since the Second Shinobi World War, and many things are still being refined.
It must be Nohara Rin's talent that caught the attention of Konoha's medical team, allowing them to teach her A-rank medical ninjutsu so quickly.
If she hadn't died young, she might have become a famous medical ninja like Tsunade or Sakura.
"Hmm, okay,"
Nohara Rin thought for a moment and agreed.
"However, the school only teaches some E-rank ninjutsu, so that's all I can teach you."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Nohara Rin-kun,"
Kiyoshi smiled slightly. "You've really helped me a lot."
"It's alright, we're classmates,"Nohara Rin shook her head.
Obito, standing to the side, felt like he'd shot himself in the foot.
He should have known better than to tell Rin all this!
"Rin, teach me too!"
Obito pleaded with Rin, not wanting her to only teach Kiyoshi.
Unfortunately, the bell had already rung, and Obito had to return to his seat.
Looking at the dense writing on the blackboard, Obito twirled the pen between his fingers, his mind wandering.
"Hehe, when Rin gives me special training too, I'll definitely teach that arrogant Kakashi a lesson."
Obito was lost in his beautiful fantasies, glancing occasionally at Kakashi or Rin.
Kiyoshi, on the other hand, continued reading.
This knowledge was basic yet invaluable.
Within the Uchiha clan, he was always an "outsider."
Whether they would send someone to guide him, and to what extent, were
all unknowns .
Kiyoshi couldn't afford to be complacent and fantasize that the Uchiha would send a powerful figure to tutor him privately.
He was acutely aware of his current status:a half-Uchiha who had been adopted.
The only reason he attracted attention was out of fear that there were others like him.
Moreover, with only one Sharingan awakened, others might even think Kiyoshi was a "foreign trash" from the Land of Lightning.
Kiyoshi didn't just randomly choose someone to tell Rin about this.
There was another genius in the class, Kakashi Hatake.
Kiyoshi glanced ahead; a boy with white, tousled hair and a black mask sat there.
But Kakashi wasn't as easy to talk to as Rin.
Soon, the death of Konoha's White Fang would occur, directly causing Kakashi's personality to drastically change, making him cold-blooded and numb, ultimately leading him to apply for early graduation.
The tool-like aspect of ninjas would be vividly displayed in Kakashi.
After a moment's thought, Kiyoshi continued studying.
In any case, improving personal strength was the right path.
Soon, a day passed.
Kiyoshi had begun to adapt to life here.
The ninja academy's curriculum could be roughly divided into five sections:theory, training, history, insights, and practice.
In simple terms, theory taught ninjutsu, hand seals, and some basic physics and mathematics; training focused on physical conditioning and basic taijutsu; and history introduced the outstanding figures of Konoha and the ninja world.
The training covers ninja experience, including intelligence gathering, assassination, codes, and espionage concealment. Female ninjas receive specialized training, culminating in practical combat sparring.
However, it lacks a crucial element:ideology and morality.
Ninja academies ultimately aim to produce ninjas, not to cultivate their minds. The most obvious example is the Daimyo.
In a world where individual power can destroy the world, they are ruled by ordinary people.
Even in Boruto, as the Seventh Hokage, Naruto is still subject to the Daimyo's control, silently enduring the reduction of Konoha's funding. "
Thinking about these things is too far ahead."
Looking at the empty classroom, only he remained. Kiyoshi opened the semi-transparent abbreviation panel.
His tests showed that no one but him could see it.
Today, perhaps because of his presence, the lessons focused mostly on history and culture.
[Abbreviation: Reading and Absorption (White)]
[ Requirement: Read 10 articles and complete detailed notes.]
[Progress: 50%]
[Effect: Your absorption speed of textual information is slightly improved, and your content comprehension is 10% faster than the average person.]
[Note: Further advancement is possible.]
Kiyoshi looked at the second entry.
[Entry: Basic Memory (White)]
[Requirement: Memorize 5 selected historical biographies of ninja figures.]
[Progress: 40%]
[Effect: Your short-term memory ability is slightly improved, allowing you to remember words and phrases faster, with memory efficiency 5% higher than the average person.]
[Note: Further advancement is possible.] "Studying academic subjects should be much easier,"
Kiyoshi thought to himself.
This was just the beginning; white was probably the lowest quality and easiest entry to obtain.
So far, all the entries he had obtained were marked with "Further advancement is possible," meaning he could likely advance once he met certain conditions.
"Basic Memory" and "Reading Absorption" were exactly what Kiyoshi needed; to become a medical ninja, he needed to memorize a large amount of medical knowledge.
"Kiyoshi-kun."
Kiyoshi closed the control panel, packed his things, and was about to leave his seat when a sound came from the doorway.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Nohara Rin poked her head out from outside, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at Kiyoshi.
