"Your idea is indeed a good one."
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a few seconds and said, "Though it will be difficult, the prospects are broad."
Psychological Medical Ninja was a path no one had walked before.
The hardest part was that there were no relevant psychological ninjutsu. Yakumo Kurama had to create her own psychological ninjutsu.
Building a complete system from nothing was not something an ordinary ninja could accomplish.
But if it succeeded, setting aside the Uchiha Clan's problems, even if it could only cure Tsunade's Hemophobia, it would still be worthwhile.
"Go ahead and do it. If you run into any problems, I'll find a solution."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said gravely.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Beizawa quickly replied.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's permission, although he had not been promoted, his status had invisibly risen by quite a bit.
His safety was also somewhat guaranteed. At the very least, Root would not knock him out and carry him away in the middle of the street.
"Psychological Medical Ninja involves quite a bit of Yin Release knowledge."
After giving it some thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I'll have Haru take you to the Archives. From now on, you may enter freely and read the books on Yin Release."
Beizawa's eyes immediately lit up.
Now that was what one called a pleasant surprise.
"Do not mention this matter to anyone. The fewer people who know, the better," Hiruzen Sarutobi added.
He was mainly worried that Shimura Danzō and his Root would cause trouble.
If they learned of Yakumo Kurama's special nature, they would definitely find a way to interfere.
And Beizawa was now close to Naruto Uzumaki as well. When the time came, they would have to witness another scene of "I'm the Hokage, you'll regret it, bang."
"Yes."
Beizawa nodded.
Haru was a ninja from the Hokage's Anbu, wearing a frog mask.
Anbu, short for the Special Assassination and Tactical Squad, was a group of elite ninja directly under the Hokage who handled every kind of job.
Led by Haru, Beizawa entered the Archives.
He gave the place a rough look-over and inwardly thought, Just as expected.
Quite a few genjutsu were recorded in these books.
From now on, any genjutsu rewarded by the system would have a source, so he would not need to worry about attracting unnecessary trouble.
The only pity was that there were only ordinary genjutsu here.
Special genjutsu, such as the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, were absent.
Thinking about it carefully, that was only normal. This genjutsu could deprive its target of light and perfectly counter the Uchiha Clan. Ordinary people were not qualified to learn it.
Beizawa spent a full two days in the Archives.
With the system around, and since he had no particular talent for genjutsu, he did not learn any.
Over those two days, he read books on Yin Release while considering how to train Yakumo Kurama.
A new week began.
Beizawa arrived at the Ninja Academy.
"Senior Beizawa!"
Umino Iruka's voice rang out.
Beizawa stopped and looked at him.
"Senior Beizawa."
Umino Iruka stepped forward and said, "Kurama Murakumo, the head of the Kurama Clan, is waiting for you in your office."
"He certainly came early."
Beizawa smiled and said, "I understand. Thank you for letting me know."
"You..."
Umino Iruka hesitated.
Though the Kurama Clan had declined, it was still a somewhat renowned ninja clan.
Furthermore, Kurama Murakumo was a Jonin. To the Ninja Academy's teachers, he was an important figure.
For someone like that to specifically seek out Beizawa naturally made him curious.
"It's a secret."
Beizawa turned into a man of riddles and replied with a smile.
Umino Iruka immediately began imagining all sorts of possibilities.
After bidding Umino Iruka farewell, Beizawa headed to his office.
"Teacher Beizawa!"
The moment Yakumo Kurama saw him, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him happily.
"Good morning, Yakumo."
Beizawa replied with a smile.
"Beizawa, Yakumo will be in your care. If there are any problems, come find me."
Kurama Murakumo said with a serious expression, "My Kurama Clan still has some influence in Konoha."
"Understood."
Beizawa nodded.
After Kurama Murakumo left, Yakumo Kurama relaxed considerably. She looked around, appearing lively and curious.
But Beizawa soon caught her attention.
Yakumo Kurama stepped closer, rose onto her tiptoes, and peered at the desk.
"I'm writing your training plan."
When Beizawa turned around, he saw her serious little face.
"Physical training?"
Yakumo Kurama glanced at it, surprise appearing on her face.
What Beizawa had said on Saturday had made her think she would abandon her body and focus solely on the mind.
"The body is the foundation."
Beizawa explained, "No matter how powerful the mind is, it still needs the body to support it."
If one could reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths, then abandoning the flesh would be possible.
But in the ninja world, bloodlines were what mattered. Bloodlines determined one's upper limit.
Yakumo Kurama's bloodline was not strong enough.
"Mm."
Yakumo Kurama nodded.
She did not resist physical training.
In fact, while at Satomi Hill Villa, she had often trained until her body could no longer bear the strain.
But Beizawa's training plan was much more reasonable. The workload was not heavy, and it emphasized gradual progress.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door.
"I'll get it."
Yakumo Kurama reached the door in a few quick steps.
She opened it and found a dainty little girl with a pair of white eyes standing outside.
"Y-you are?"
Seeing the unfamiliar Yakumo Kurama, Hinata Hyuga could not help asking.
"I'm Yakumo Kurama."
Yakumo Kurama introduced herself, saying, "I'm a transfer student in First Year Class A."
Hinata Hyuga tilted her head slightly, confusion written on her face.
A transfer student just one week after school started? What was going on?
"Hinata."
Beizawa stood up, slipped a note into her hand, and said, "I'll take Yakumo around to familiarize her with the school first."
Before Hinata Hyuga could react, they had already left the office.
She stood there blankly, then unfolded the little note in her hand. Two sentences were written on it.
The first sentence read: Eat breakfast here without worry.
Hinata Hyuga's heart instantly warmed.
Beizawa had taken Yakumo Kurama away to spare her embarrassment, while also protecting the secret that she could eat.
But Hinata Hyuga felt unaccustomed to it.
With Beizawa absent, eating alone somehow made her feel as if something was missing.
The second sentence read: After you finish breakfast, skip class. Come back in the afternoon.
Hinata Hyuga's heart leaped into her throat.
Skip class by myself?
No, Teacher Beizawa, I can't do it.
Hinata Hyuga stood frozen in place, her little face filled with conflict.
The class bell rang.
Beizawa and Yakumo Kurama entered the classroom.
He glanced at Hinata Hyuga's empty seat and felt satisfied.
The purpose of making her skip class was to train her courage.
Of course, skipping class was ultimately an improper method. He had already thought of a new way to increase Hinata Hyuga's courage.
"This is Yakumo Kurama."
Beizawa introduced her, saying, "Your new classmate."
"Is she from that Kurama Clan that specializes in genjutsu?"
Ino Yamanaka curiously examined Yakumo Kurama.
"As long as she doesn't try to steal Sasuke-kun from me."
Sakura Haruno felt a surge of vigilance.
Yakumo Kurama was quite pretty too.
Shikamaru Nara stroked his chin.
He remembered his old man, Shikaku Nara, mentioning that Yakumo Kurama was in poor health.
Could this be related to Teacher Beizawa again?
But Shikamaru Nara soon gave up thinking because he could not be bothered.
