#4 - Can you teach me Konoha ninjutsu?
"Didn't you learn it, Kiyoshi? You're from the Uchiha clan, aren't you?"
Rin Nohara asked curiously.
Although Kiyoshi is from the Land of Lightning, his surname is "Uchiha."
The Uchiha are a large ninja clan in the village, exclusively managing the Konoha Police Force. It's no exaggeration to say they are the nobles of Konoha!
"Being an Uchiha doesn't mean you can learn any ninjutsu you want."
Obito saw Rin come to talk to Kiyoshi as soon as class was over, and immediately ran over.
"To prevent clan members from abusing ninjutsu and being overly ambitious, these things require approval from the elders in charge of management."
Obito spoke eloquently.
If not, wouldn't everyone just choose the most powerful ninjutsu right away?
"I see."
Rin Nohara nodded, her short hair swaying, with a few strands of black hair resting on the purple markings on the sides of her face.
She was just a child from a commoner background and didn't know much about these things.
"So, Nohara Rin, could you teach me?"
Kiyoshi said, his dark eyes fixed on Rin Nohara.
His pupils reflected Rin Nohara's appearance. Perhaps because it was nearing late autumn, her clothes were much thicker.
Rin Nohara had value to exploit. Asking her for guidance would allow him to become stronger faster.
Because Rin Nohara was a medical genius, as could be seen from her being a Chunin who knew the Mystical Palm Technique.
What level of ninjutsu was the Mystical Palm Technique?
The answer is A-rank!
This was already second only to S-rank ninjutsu in terms of learning difficulty, and medical ninjutsu was often more difficult to learn than ordinary ninjutsu.
Because it required more attention to the subtle "control" of chakra, a slight deviation could lead to great errors.
This showed that Rin Nohara had talent in this area, and an A-rank Mystical Palm Technique was not something that could be easily learned.
Tsunade suggested incorporating medical ninjas into mission squads and proposed establishing a training mechanism for medical ninjas during the Second Shinobi World War.
It had only been a few years since the end of the Second Shinobi World War, and many things were still being perfected.
It was inevitable that Rin Nohara's talent had attracted the attention of Konoha's medical team, allowing her to be taught the A-rank medical ninjutsu so quickly.
If she hadn't died young, she might have become a famous medical ninja like Tsunade and Sakura in the future.
"Okay, I can."
Rin Nohara thought for a moment and agreed.
"But in school, there are only some E-rank ninjutsu, so I can only teach you those."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Nohara Rin."
Kiyoshi smiled slightly. "You've really helped me a lot."
"It's nothing, we're classmates."
Rin Nohara shook her head.
Obito, on the other hand, had the feeling of shooting himself in the foot.
If he had known, he wouldn't have told Rin about these things!
"Rin, teach me quickly too."
Obito made a request to Rin, not wanting Rin to only teach Kiyoshi.
Unfortunately, the class bell had already rung, and Obito could only return to his seat first.
Looking at the dense writing on the blackboard, Obito spun the pen in his hand, daydreaming.
"Hehe, when Rin gives me special training, I will definitely show that arrogant Kakashi!"
Obito was lost in a wonderful fantasy, occasionally glancing at Kakashi or Rin Nohara.
Kiyoshi continued to read.
This knowledge was basic, but also valuable.
In the Uchiha clan, he was always an "outsider."
Whether they would send someone to guide him, and to what extent, was unknown.
Kiyoshi couldn't take chances, fantasizing that the Uchiha would send a powerful figure to give him private instruction.
He was very clear about his current identity.
A mixed-blood Uchiha who was picked up.
Being valued was purely out of fear that there were other examples like Kiyoshi.
Moreover, having only awakened one Sharingan, others might think Kiyoshi was "trash" from the Land of Lightning.
Kiyoshi didn't randomly choose someone to talk to Rin Nohara about these things.
There was another genius in the class, Kakashi Hatake.
Kiyoshi glanced forward, where a boy with white spiky hair and a black mask was sitting.
But Kakashi wouldn't be as easy to talk to as Rin.
Soon, Sakumo Hatake would die, which would directly lead to Kakashi's personality changing drastically, becoming cold-blooded and numb, and then applying to graduate early.
The side of a ninja as a tool would be vividly displayed on Kakashi.
After a moment of contemplation, Kiyoshi continued to study.
In any case, improving personal strength was the right path.
Soon, the day passed.
Kiyoshi also initially adapted to life here.
The content taught at the Ninja Academy can be roughly divided into five sections.
Theory, training, history, experience, and practice.
In simple terms, theory teaches ninjutsu, hand seals, and some basic physics and mathematics knowledge; training is physical training and some basic taijutsu; history is learning about outstanding figures in Konoha and the ninja world.
Experience is the ninja's experience, such as intelligence gathering, assassination, codes, espionage, concealment, etc., and female ninjas will learn some exclusive training for female ninjas. Finally, there is practical combat through ninja sparring.
However, one crucial point was missing.
That is thought and morality.
The Ninja Academy ultimately aims to produce ninjas and will not enlighten students' thinking.
The most obvious point is the Daimyo.
In a world where individual power is enough to destroy the world, they are actually under the rule of ordinary people.
Even in "Boruto," Naruto, who became the Seventh Hokage, is still subject to the Daimyo's control, and can only silently endure even if Konoha's funds are cut.
"Thinking about these things is still too far away."
Looking at the empty classroom, with only himself left, Kiyoshi opened the semi-transparent entry panel.
After his testing, no one except him could see the entry panel.
Today, it seemed that most of the content covered history and culture because of his arrival.
[Entry: Reading Absorption (White).]
[Achievement Requirement: Read 10 articles and complete detailed notes.]
[Progress: 50%.]
[Effect: Your absorption speed of textual information is slightly improved, and your understanding of content is 10% faster than the average person.]
[Note: Can be upgraded later.]
Kiyoshi looked at the second entry.
[Entry: Basic Memory (White).]
[Achievement Requirement: Memorize 5 selected historical biographies of ninja world figures.]
[Progress: 40%.]
[Effect: Your short-term memory ability is slightly improved, allowing you to remember words and phrases faster, and your memory efficiency is 5% higher than the average person.]
[Note: Can be upgraded later.]
"Learning cultural courses should be much easier."
Kiyoshi thought to himself.
This was just the beginning. White should be the lowest quality and the easiest entry to obtain.
So far, the entries he had obtained were all marked with the words "Can be upgraded later," which meant that he could upgrade them once he met certain conditions.
"Basic Memory" and "Reading Absorption" were exactly what Kiyoshi needed. To become a medical ninja, he had to memorize a lot of medical knowledge.
"Kiyoshi."
Kiyoshi closed the panel and was about to leave his seat after packing his things when a voice came from the door.
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Rin Nohara poked her head in from the door, looking at Kiyoshi with a puzzled expression.
Recommending a book, a friend's Tokyo novel, those who like it can take a look.
