Have You Considered Becoming a Medical-nin?

"Yo ho, Sasuke, I beat you!"

Naruto, beaming with pride, put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder, his face full of joy.

"Tch, I'm not paying attention to the Ninja Academy's exams anymore."

Sasuke pursed his lips; if the two of them really went all out...

Whether this battle arena can even be kept is another matter, and Teacher Hagoromo doesn't allow them to unleash their full potential at the Ninja Academy.

"Hehe, I held back on that kick just now, otherwise you would have lost too quickly and I wouldn't have had a chance to beat you up."

At this point, Naruto's eyebrows twitched, and he looked very excited.

Completely unaware that Shikamaru and the others behind him were giving Sasuke glances.

Sasuke could only helplessly turn his face away, "Yeah, yeah, you're the best."

Hearing this, Naruto took a deep breath with great satisfaction. It really felt Sasuke to admit that Sasuke was amazing.

"Hey? Who's that over there?"

Naruto, who was squinting, subconsciously looked over and asked curiously.

A little girl with a full head of pink hair was looking at them, hesitant, unsure whether to approach.

"That's... Sakura?"

Ino was taken aback at first, then spoke.

"Sakura? Is she in our class?"

Naruto scratched his head and couldn't help but ask.

After all, he only trains and rarely pays attention to his classmates.

Even with Hinata before, it was only because Hinata's gaze was always fixed on him.

"You guys go ahead, Hinata, Karin, and I will be there when we're done with our work."

After Ino finished speaking, she pulled Hinata and Karin away.

--

Hagoromo is currently working on the scores for the class competition, which will be announced tomorrow.

Just as I was engrossed in my work, I heard a knock on the door, and Ino's very distinctive voice.

Come in~

Hagoromo stopped abruptly and called out towards the door.

"Hey, teacher, am I bothering you?"

Ino entered, tilting her head to the side, and asked with a smile.

With a gentle smile, Hagoromo pointed to the clock hanging in the office and said:

"It's so late, why are you here with your teacher instead of going to the training field?"

Seeing this, Ino simply opened the door wide and led the people behind her into the office.

The last figure startled Hagoromo — Sakura Haruno?

Sakura Haruno greeted Hagoromo with a shy expression, "Hello, Hagoromo- sensei."

"Yes, Sakura."

Hagoromo nodded, though he was genuinely a bit confused at that moment.

Ino then went to Hagoromo's side, took Hagoromo arm, and pointed to Sakura was looking quite helpless, and said:

"Teacher, what do you think of Sakura?"

Hagoromo raised an eyebrow. This little guy, doesn't he realize that his words are ambiguous?

Sakura, however, bowed and called out to Hagoromo after Ino spoke, "Hagoromo- sensei, I want to become your disciple!"

Hinata was waiting nearby, was quite envious of Sakura's directness.

Hagoromo reached out and tapped Ino's forehead. This little guy had only brought Sakura along because a friend had asked him to.

Then, he looked at Sakura and asked.

"Sakura, have you ever tried to understand your talents or your future direction as a ninja?"

"Huh? Direction?" Sakura blinked upon hearing this, then began to think.

Sakura, the only student in the class who could compete for a top-three ranking based solely on her theoretical scores, is not just good at theory.

Moreover, with the changes in this year's curriculum, there are questions regarding future internships after graduating from the Ninja Academy.

Actually, it's already clearly indicated in the textbook.

"I remember your theoretical foundation was quite good, and back in third grade, you were the first to successfully practice Chakra control, right?"

Hagoromo Yi rested her chin on her hands on the table and slowly began to speak.

Have you considered developing your career in the direction of medical-nin?

Upon hearing this, Sakura lowered her head and fell into deep thought. The trainee ninjas were there specifically for the majority of students from commoner backgrounds in Konoha.

Before this, students with bloodline limits or family secret techniques had a better chance of getting ahead than ordinary students like Sakura.

Even after graduating, ordinary students can only become capable ninjas by gradually growing and developing their skills.

However, this also depends on the ability of the Jonin the team.

It's not that Rock Lee can always win the favor of a Jonin; it's just that Might Guy happened to know about Rock Lee.

Before this, Sakura had been living in a daze, and like the other girls in her class, she really liked Sasuke.

But then one day, something Ino said made Sakura momentarily snap out of her daze.

"Without the corresponding strength, why would Sasuke even bother with you?"

It was after that that Sakura gradually changed; she felt she needed to improve in other areas.

Theoretical knowledge alone is not enough; her practical skills are far inferior to those of her best friend Ino.

However, my individual training has not yielded very good results.

That's why Sakura thought of finding Ino after this competition to see how they trained.

Seeing that Sakura Haruno didn't quite understand the so-called medical-nin system, Hagoromo got up and began to explain it to her.

With Hagoromo's explanation, Ino and the others nodded, since Hagoromo had already told them these things before.

Sakura's eyes shone even brighter; she felt that the path of medical-nin was very much in line with her own.

After Hagoromo finished explaining, he remained silent, waiting for Sakura to make her own decision.

"Hagoromo- sensei, I want to become medical-nin!" After a long while of consideration, Sakura finally looked up at Hagoromo.

She responded with great anticipation.

Seeing this, Hagoromo smiled and nodded, then said, "For now, you should learn the most basic healing techniques from Hinata and Shizune."

"If you can learn it within three days, your teacher will introduce you to a ninja."

"She is the founder of Konoha's medical system."

Sakura was initially quite disappointed after hearing what Hagoromo had said, since Hagoromo was willing to accept her.

That's definitely what Sakura wants.

But what she said next made Sakura a little incredulous, considering the books about the medical system.

The school year has already begun, and the person mentioned in it is one of the legendary Sannin.

She is also the goal and the aspiration of all female ninjas in Konoha, Princess Tsunade!

Ino to the side, was delighted that Sakura had this opportunity. After all, Sakura was the legendary female ninja, and her aura when she saw her at the training ground last time was quite formidable.

"I understand, teacher! I will try my best!"

Sakura nodded and bowed again to Hagoromo.

Such opportunities are not easily obtained, and Sakura, being a commoner ninja, understands this all too well.
