"Zzz..."

Watching the leaf in his palm finally split into two, Uchiha Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead, a joyful smile immediately blooming on his face.

"Whew..."

"After six full months of grueling training, I've finally succeeded!"

That's right; at this very moment, Uchiha Yue wasn't playing around. He had been training in the nature transformation of Wind Style chakra, following the method described in the original work.

Six months ago, when Uchiha Yue first began working at the Ninja Hospital, he had prepared to start his Wind Style nature transformation training. By that time, Uchiha Yue had already completed his training in the Rasengan. Although he still couldn't condense a Rasengan with a single finger, the basic Rasengan training was no longer enough to satisfy him.

During these six months at the Ninja Hospital, Uchiha Yue never stalled his progress. In fact, as his medical ninjutsu improved, his control over his own chakra became increasingly refined. Three months ago, he had already become capable of condensing a Rasengan with a single finger, and he could even perfectly control the Falling Moon Style: Rasengan Manipulation Technique.

However, being able to master powerful ninjutsu did not mean Uchiha Yue possessed strength comparable to a Chunin.

After six months of hard training, Uchiha Yue's strength still remained at the Genin level, though he was far more formidable than an average Genin.

While working at the Ninja Hospital, Uchiha Yue treated countless wounded every day, and his progress in medical ninjutsu could be described as rapid. Two months ago, Uchiha Yue still required the guidance of Tsunade to treat every patient. But today, two months later, Uchiha Yue's mastery of medical ninjutsu was already comparable to some Chunin. Ordinary injuries seemed completely effortless to him, and even some of the more severe cases only caused him minor trouble.

Furthermore, while training in medical ninjutsu, Uchiha Yue did not neglect his other training regimens.

Even though his work at the Ninja Hospital was exhausting, Uchiha Yue completed his self-imposed training schedule every time he returned home.

Nowadays, the amount of chakra Uchiha Yue possessed completely surpassed that of a Genin, even rivaling some ordinary Chunin. His training with shuriken was where he made the fastest progress; his skill was now enough to pose a threat to some Chunin. Unfortunately, Uchiha Yue's taijutsu and combat experience remained his weak points; otherwise, his comprehensive strength might not have been stalled at the Genin level, but would have truly stepped into the realm of a Chunin.

However, even though Uchiha Yue could not yet compare to a true Chunin, he had already laid a solid foundation for himself.

Uchiha Yue believed that as long as he gained sufficient combat experience, he would possess strength no less than a Chunin within just one year.

Moreover, during these six months, Uchiha Yue had not forgotten to refine the taijutsu he had newly developed, nor had he forgotten to create his own original ninjutsu. Therefore, Uchiha Yue was definitely an outlier among Genin. If certain Chunin were to relax even slightly while fighting him, it was entirely possible for them to be defeated by Uchiha Yue.

With the accumulation of these six months, Uchiha Yue felt it was time to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

Without becoming a true ninja, Uchiha Yue's strength would forever remain at the Genin level. After all, his work at the Ninja Hospital could only improve his medical ninjutsu, not his combat ability. Therefore, on this day, six months later, Uchiha Yue expressed his stance to Tsunade: he would no longer go to the Ninja Hospital to study medical ninjutsu, but was preparing to head to the Ninja Academy for his graduation exam.

Tsunade had long known that Uchiha Yue's medical ninjutsu had improved sufficiently, so the moment he proposed his idea, she agreed without the slightest hesitation. Now, Uchiha Yue had even completed the foundation of his Wind Style nature transformation training, making him look forward to becoming a true ninja even more.

Following that...

Once Uchiha Yue had recovered his chakra in the training ground, he set off for the Ninja Academy to apply for the graduation exam.

However, just as Uchiha Yue arrived at the Ninja Academy and before he could even see his instructor, Sarutobi Shinsuke, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Yue? Is it really you?"

Hearing that familiar voice, a smile curled at the corner of Uchiha Yue's mouth as he turned his head. "Obito, long time no see!"

"It really is you! Yue!"

Seeing that the person in front of him was indeed his good friend, Uchiha Obito hurried over to Uchiha Yue, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said, "Yue, it feels like we haven't seen each other in six months! I heard you've been working at the Ninja Hospital this whole time? You're truly amazing to have learned such incredible medical ninjutsu from Lady Tsunade. Now, the whole of Konoha is saying that in a few years, your medical ninjutsu will surpass Lady Tsunade's!"

"That's just a rumor; there's still a huge gap between me and my master."

Seeing the look of envy flash in Uchiha Obito's eyes, Uchiha Yue shook his head, dismissing the village rumors.

It was true; because Uchiha Yue was still a student at the Ninja Academy while working at the Ninja Hospital, rumors had been circulating throughout Konoha that Uchiha Yue had completely inherited Tsunade's mantle. Furthermore, Uchiha Yue's performance at the hospital was indeed excellent, so the rumor that his medical ninjutsu would soon surpass Tsunade's gradually took hold in the village.

However, only Uchiha Yue knew how vast the gap between his medical ninjutsu and Tsunade's truly was.

The higher his attainments in medical ninjutsu, the more profound Uchiha Yue realized the field was. If he wanted to fully master medical ninjutsu, it would take at least a dozen years. It was precisely for this reason that Uchiha Yue stopped working at the hospital, preparing to become a true ninja and begin training in actual combat.

After all, Uchiha Yue hoped to possess formidable strength, not just highly refined medical ninjutsu.

No matter how strong medical ninjutsu was, it could never truly provide the power to protect his family or his parents.

Just look at Tsunade—her medical ninjutsu was incredibly strong, but didn't she still earn the title of Sannin through the strength of her own fists?

Still, being able to see Uchiha Obito made Uchiha Yue genuinely happy.

During these six months, Uchiha Yue had been busy with training, and he hadn't even seen his good friend Uchiha Obito more than a few times. As for classmates he wasn't particularly close to, like Rin, Might Guy, and Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Yue hadn't seen them even once. Coming to the Ninja Academy this time, Uchiha Yue also wanted to see how the future elite ninjas of Konoha were faring in terms of strength.

In particular, Uchiha Yue wanted to see the current strength of his original target for pursuit: Hatake Kakashi.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was thinking this, Uchiha Obito's words interrupted his train of thought.

"By the way, Yue, what are you doing back at the Ninja Academy?"

"Could it be..."

"Did you hear that news too?"
