"Don't worry, this is just a result of scattered mental focus and insufficient training time; you are already truly excellent as you are."
Keigo Uchiha offered a gentle, soothing comfort.
To have mastered Medical Ninjutsu at the age of seven was a talent that could only be described as brilliant; Medical Ninjutsu required immense mental power and, even more so, precise chakra control.
In the original story, Sakura had learned Medical Ninjutsu at the age of thirteen.
And even then, it had taken her a very long time to master it.
That Momoko could learn it at seven was proof enough of her talent!
"How about we train together? I'll practice Lightning Release, and you practice Medical Ninjutsu, alright?"
Keigo Uchiha said with a smile.
Momoko Uchiha was taken aback for a moment, then her small face broke into a radiant smile as she chirped, "Okay!"
The two began their training together.
But before long, Keigo Uchiha let out a cry of pain, "The Lightning Release has gone out of control!"
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead, and his arm was covered in tiny lacerations and scorch marks!
"I never expected the Lightning Release to backfire and injure me like this. If I can't heal it quickly, it might leave behind permanent damage."
"I might not even be able to be a ninja in the future!"
His handsome face was etched with anxiety.
"Keigo!"
Momoko was frantic, even more worried than if she had been the one injured. She said urgently, "Don't worry, don't worry!"
She took a deep breath, "I know Medical Ninjutsu; I can help Keigo!"
"I won't let Keigo suffer any permanent damage!"
Momoko Uchiha anxiously placed her trembling little hands onto Keigo Uchiha's injured arm, her bright, tear-filled eyes fixed intently on the wound as she began to channel the Yang-natured chakra within her with all her might.
A soft green light slowly emanated from her palms.
The injuries on his arm slowly faded, and fresh granulation tissue began to grow back.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Keigo Uchiha's mouth; where had that look of pain from a moment ago gone?
Medical Ninjutsu required mental power, chakra control, and... focused attention!
Momoko had no issues with either mental power or chakra control; the reason it worked intermittently was simply because she was young, lacked focus, and was prone to distraction.
But when he was injured, Momoko's attention would become hyper-focused.
Healing him naturally ceased to be a problem.
"Amazing! With Momoko here, I won't have to worry about getting hurt in the future!"
Keigo Uchiha praised, and Momoko immediately beamed again.
"Keigo! You can't keep getting hurt like this; it makes me worry!"
After patting Momoko on the head, it took Keigo a long time to finally put her mind at ease.
Afterward, the two resumed their training.
But before long, Momoko Uchiha's distressed voice rang out again, "What's going on? It worked perfectly just a moment ago, why isn't it working now?"
Keigo Uchiha: "..."
Not long after.
He scratched his cheek while practicing the Kunai Throwing Technique.
Momoko Uchiha grew nervous and panicked, and the soft green light was unleashed once more.
Slowly.
Momoko Uchiha finally mastered the technique.
Of course, this was after Keigo Uchiha had been injured for the seventh time.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Keigo was elegant and handsome, his smile radiant.
Momoko Uchiha was like an elf, her smile pure and brilliant.
Inside a house not far away.
The Great Elder couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head.
Beside him, Hanako Uchiha looked puzzled, "Has Keigo been slacking off in his training lately? Why does it feel like he's not even as good as Fugaku Uchiha? And why is it that Momoko always succeeds when she heals Keigo?"
She was the Great Elder's wife, a traditional woman, and not particularly strong.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with confusion.
Although Momoko could now succeed one hundred percent of the time.
She still felt that it had a great deal to do with Keigo.
"Keigo is the top of his grade; he has even mastered Storm Release and can use Lightning Release to stimulate his legs to increase his speed. How could his Lightning Release possibly go out of control?"
The Great Elder shook his head with a helpless smile.
"Furthermore, his Kunai Throwing Technique is also the best in his grade. There is no way he would risk stabbing himself."
"The reason he did that was to help Hakuto focus her mind. It is truly remarkable; not only can he see the root of Hakuto's problem at a glance, but he also found a solution. A person like him is a true genius!"
"In the future, on the battlefield, he will be able to discover the enemy's weaknesses with ease, and his meticulous nature will ensure the enemy finds no opportunity to exploit!"
The more the Great Elder spoke, the more he marveled.
"And do you know something else?"
His gaze grew profound.
"What?"
Hanako Uchiha was stunned, confused, yet she could not help but be shocked by what the Great Elder had just said!
She couldn't help but look at Keigo Uchiha, who wore a gentle smile.
Is this boy really that incredible!?
"Keigo has already awakened the Sharingan. At the age of seven, this is a talent the entire Uchiha Clan has never seen before!"
Hanako Uchiha gasped, looking at Keigo Uchiha in shock.
"Then... has it been decided? Is he the future head of the Uchiha Clan?"
Awakening the Sharingan in the Uchiha Clan.
It is incredibly difficult.
Only a few can awaken it, but once awakened, it proves their talent; possessing a Three-Tomoe Sharingan is only a matter of time.
Ten years, or thirty years!
This is the gap in talent.
And awakening a Single-Tomoe Sharingan at seven years old.
Is that not enough to prove Keigo Uchiha's talent?
"No one can compare to Keigo's talent."
The Great Elder smiled and shook his head.
At this moment, outside the window, the sun was bright and the sky was cloudless.
Just then.
A guard walked over, looked at Keigo Uchiha, and said, "Young Master Keigo, someone is looking for you. He says his name is Gekko Yabu."
Gekko Yabu?
Keigo Uchiha was taken aback. Is he from the Gekko Clan, who specialize in swordsmanship?
"I understand. Invite him in. He is my classmate; there is no need to stop him in the future, he can come straight in."
As a member of the Uchiha Clan.
Rules are just as important.
Without permission, one cannot enter.
"Keigo! I've been studying a new sword style over the last two days, so I specifically came to spar with you today. Among the other classmates, there is no one whose swordsmanship is stronger than yours."
Gekko Yabu said helplessly.
For a ninja who specializes in swordsmanship, not having a suitable opponent is truly frustrating.
Of course, there is also Sarutobi Shinnosuke in the class, but he uses a staff.
But a sword and a staff are different.
"Oh? I have also been considering how to integrate ninjutsu into my swordsmanship over the last two days."
Keigo Uchiha said with a smile.
He currently possesses the strongest release, which is Storm Release.
If he could fuse Storm Release into his swordsmanship, his strength would improve rapidly. No weapon would be able to withstand his sword; kunai and other weapons would become like withered wood.
They would be unable to block his attacks!
"Come on! I still feel unreconciled about losing to you last time!"
Gekko Yabu smiled, his eyes filled with a trace of caution and solemnity.
When he first sparred with Keigo Uchiha.
He realized just how terrifying Keigo Uchiha's swordsmanship was!
His attacks were fierce!
There were no wasted movements, and his eyes seemed capable of seeing through weaknesses, always striking where he could not dodge!
