From this day on, Nanchuan You began to resume his normal life as a student at the Ninja Academy.

However, from this point on, those around him also clearly felt his change.

Before his memories awakened, Nanchuan You's personality was very dull, and he didn't interact much with those around him.

It couldn't be helped, he was an orphan after all.

As an orphan, without parental care, very few people could maintain a cheerful disposition.

Someone like Uzumaki Naruto was an extreme rarity, not to be measured by common standards.

But at this moment, Nanchuan You's demeanor was clearly completely different from the past.

However, regarding this, those around him were only surprised for a while before quickly getting used to it.

After all, he was just an ordinary child, not some genius from a renowned clan. How could so many people pay constant attention to him?

Nanchuan You also knew this, so he didn't care about the changes in himself.

Of course, a slight change in personality was fine, as children's changes were ultimately very rapid.

But a significant change in ninja talent couldn't happen, otherwise, he would inevitably run the risk of being targeted.

So, during this period, he maintained restraint, blending in with the students around him, becoming one with the masses.

One day, after school, he didn't go home as usual but went to a certain place.

This was Konoha's orphanage, where many orphans lived.

"You, you're back!"

"How's life at the Ninja Academy?"

As he walked, many people greeted Nanchuan You.

Nanchuan You smiled and responded to each of them.

He was also an orphan, having grown up in this orphanage for the past few years, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with this place.

In the orphanage at this moment, there were still many of his old playmates.

Most of the children who stayed in the orphanage lacked talent for being ninjas, so students remaining in the orphanage would leave here to make their own way in the world only after they turned ten.

However, for now, their lives could barely be maintained, not too bad.

Walking along, Nanchuan You soon arrived at the director's office.

"Director."

He held flowers and entered, looking at the old man before him and nodding respectfully.

In the office before him, an old man sat there. He looked at Nanchuan You before him and a smile appeared on his face: "It's You."

"It's been a long time."

He was the director of this orphanage, and for the orphans who had lived in it in the past, he was like a father.

And now, he was almost at the age of retirement.

Nanchuan You knew this, which was why he specifically came to visit, preparing to send off this old director.

"How is life at the Ninja Academy? Are you adapting well?"

Looking at Nanchuan You, the old director asked with concern: "Has anyone been causing trouble?"

Nanchuan You smiled and responded to the old man's questions one by one, without any impatience.

He knew that the old man before him had no ill intentions towards him, only worrying if he was doing well.

Not everyone could adapt to life at the Ninja Academy.

Becoming a ninja was indeed a path to advancement for the people of this world, but it was also extremely dangerous and arduous.

Many of the past children from the orphanage chose this path, but not many had good outcomes.

With previous examples, the old director was somewhat worried.

"Ah, about that."

Nanchuan You replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Director, I'm fine."

"The path to becoming a ninja is bound to be difficult, but I think I can handle it. There are no problems."

"That's good."

The old director breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said: "As expected of a descendant of a ninja, you're indeed more suited to be a ninja than others."

"Descendants of ninjas are also human; they don't have anything extra compared to others."

Nanchuan You said softly: "Whether one is suited to be a ninja doesn't depend on one's background, but on individual talent and will."

"That's indeed true."

The old director smiled and said: "It's just that compared to others, you are always the one I worry about the least."

"Sigh, time passes so quickly. Thinking back, you were just a child of three or four years old."

The old director sighed, "In the blink of an eye, I'll be leaving here too, retiring directly."

"Before I retire, is there anything you need me to do?"

He looked at Nanchuan You in front of him, "Although I'm old, and not some powerful ninja, I've gotten to know quite a few people over the years."

"If you run into trouble, perhaps I can help."

"Actually, there is one thing I need your help with."

Nanchuan You pondered for a moment, then spoke, "I want to learn Medical Ninjutsu."

"Medical Ninjutsu?"

The old director's face showed surprise.

"Yes."

Nanchuan You nodded, "The longer I stay in the Ninja Academy, the more I feel my limitations."

"Compared to killing on the battlefield, I prefer the feeling of healing and saving people."

"So, I want to learn Medical Ninjutsu, and in the future, join Konoha Hospital and become a Medical Ninja."

Disliking killing was only part of the reason.

Deep down, Nanchuan You certainly disliked killing, but not to the point of rejecting being a ninja because of it.

The main reason he said this was to escape the upcoming battlefield.

The atmosphere in the Ninja World was already quite off, and war was likely to break out in the near future.

At that time, even though Nanchuan You wasn't a formal ninja yet, just an ordinary student at the Ninja Academy, he would definitely be drafted onto the battlefield.

Nanchuan You definitely had to find an opportunity to avoid this risk.

But how exactly to avoid it was another matter.

Becoming a Medical Ninja was the most ideal way.

Unlike ordinary ninjas, Medical Ninjas held a relatively higher status and played a more important role on the battlefield.

Ordinary ninjas had to go to the front lines to fight enemies, while Medical Ninjas mostly only needed to stay behind the lines and treat the wounded.

The risk was greatly reduced, while the benefits could be greatly increased.

Most importantly, Medical Ninjutsu was something Nanchuan You was skilled at.

He hadn't been idle during his fifty years of Reincarnation.

Besides handling state affairs, he had also actively learned and mastered various applications of Chakra.

Among all the Ninjutsu, to extend his lifespan and maintain his condition as much as possible, Medical Ninjutsu was what he studied the most and mastered the best.

Theoretically speaking, with his current level of Medical Ninjutsu, it wouldn't be impossible for him to directly go to Konoha Hospital and serve as a Medical Ninja.

However, having the skill was one thing, and being able to use it directly was another.
