The Cause of the Problem

The secret techniques of the Yamanaka Clan can probe a person's memories, so naturally, they could also probe the memories of Uchiha Nagi's past life.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Nagi could not refuse Tsunade's good intentions on the spot; doing so would clearly expose that there was something wrong with him.

He took a deep breath internally, hoping that the preparatory measures he had taken would be effective.

After all, he was not a simple first-grade elementary student, but an Uchiha who had already awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan.

Therefore, before coming here, he had already made some preparations specifically to deal with the Yamanaka secret techniques.

Soon, Uchiha Nagi closed his eyes and fell into a "deep sleep."

The Yamanaka Clan Head also sat down on a chair at this time and formed hand seals.

Then, his body suddenly went limp in the chair; in reality, his spirit had already entered Uchiha Nagi's body.

Inside the consciousness space.

The Yamanaka Clan Head looked at the spiritual body before him, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

Because the magnitude of this spiritual body was, in his view, simply impossible to appear in a child.

Could it be that Uchiha Nagi's problem stemmed from this spiritual energy that far exceeded his peers?

The Yamanaka Clan Head was a bit uncertain, so he continued to observe Uchiha Nagi's spiritual body.

What he did not know was that in this consciousness space, a pair of eyes with two tomoe had been watching his every move, fearing that he might attempt to probe his memories.

Fortunately, until the very end, the Yamanaka Clan Head had no intention of searching Uchiha Nagi's memories; he was truly just checking for existing spiritual problems.

Finally, after observing for a period of time, the Yamanaka Clan Head frowned, released the Yamanaka secret technique, and woke up.

Seeing this, Tsunade intended to wake Uchiha Nagi.

"Lady Tsunade, please wait a moment," the Yamanaka Clan Head called out.

"Is there a problem?" Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Yamanaka Clan Head quickly told Tsunade about what he had seen.

"In other words, Nagi's spiritual energy is far beyond his peers, and it might be overwhelming his body, causing him to be very lethargic?" Tsunade frowned.

"This is just my guess, but it is indeed a possibility. The specific situation may require a few more follow-up examinations," the Yamanaka Clan Head replied.

At this moment, he hesitated slightly.

"Senior Yamanaka, there is nothing you cannot say here," Tsunade noticed his hesitation and said directly.

"Then please forgive my forwardness," the Yamanaka Clan Head said, looking at Uchiha Nagi.

"Although I have not used my secret technique to probe other Uchiha, I can be certain that Uchiha Nagi's spirit is definitely an anomaly even within the Uchiha Clan."

"And such an anomaly likely represents talent that far exceeds that of ordinary people."

"Right now, his talent may not be fully manifested, but when his physical constitution is able to withstand this spiritual energy, I fear..."

I fear that the Uchiha Clan will have one more Kage-level figure.

The Yamanaka Clan Head did not finish his sentence, but Tsunade had already understood his meaning.

At this moment, she looked at the still-slumbering Uchiha Nagi with complex emotions; she had not expected the Yamanaka Clan Head to rate him so highly.

Although as the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she should not have held too much prejudice against the Uchiha Clan, but...

The events of these years, combined with the attitude of her grand-uncle, made it impossible for her to treat the Uchiha with a completely neutral heart.

After a long silence, Tsunade finally spoke.

"Senior Yamanaka, the Uchiha are also members of Konoha."

"I understand." The Yamanaka Clan Head did not say anything more.

"Also, regarding Nagi's situation... do not tell the teacher for the time being," Tsunade said again after thinking for a while.

The Yamanaka Clan Head nodded; Tsunade's teacher was naturally the Third Hokage.

Although it was not ideal to hide this from the Third Hokage, offending Tsunade for it was certainly not worth it.

Therefore, acting as if he knew nothing was the best outcome.

"Then let's leave it at that for today. We will check on Nagi again when there is time later."

Tsunade looked at Uchiha Nagi; since she had chosen to help, she would naturally see it through to the end and not give up halfway.

"Very well, just notify me when you have time, Lady Tsunade."

Afterward, the Yamanaka Clan Head exchanged a few pleasantries with Tsunade and left the office.

After the Yamanaka Clan Head had departed.

"You little one, is your talent really that good?"

Tsunade couldn't help but tap Uchiha Nagi on the head; this really put her in a difficult position.

While deep in thought, Tsunade finally woke Uchiha Nagi up.

"Sister Tsunade, where is Senior Yamanaka?" Uchiha Nagi scanned the room but did not see the Yamanaka Clan Head.

He had truly fallen completely asleep just now; it wasn't that he couldn't wake up, as in reality, he had been observing the Yamanaka Clan Head the entire time and could have awakened as soon as the man left.

But the problem was that he couldn't actually wake up.

Feigning sleep was an option, but doing so in front of Tsunade and the Yamanaka Clan Head...

Uchiha Nagi wasn't sure if he could pull it off, so he simply chose to keep sleeping.

In any case, the Yamanaka Clan Head had no intention of probing his memories, and since the greatest crisis had passed, other matters were of little concern.

"He left right after finishing your examination."

Tsunade then relayed the results and speculations of the Yamanaka Clan Head to Uchiha Nagi.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Nagi frowned; he felt that this speculation was incorrect.

"Sister Tsunade, my problem hasn't been present all along; it only appeared recently. If that were the true cause, I should have had this issue from the very beginning."

Tsunade was startled by his words, then rubbed her temples; she hadn't realized such a simple logic for a moment.

As expected, she had been distracted by the Yamanaka Clan Head's words.

"Mm, you're right. We'll discuss it again during the next examination," Tsunade could only say.

"Understood."

Uchiha Nagi nodded. Now that he understood this was truly just an examination and that the man wouldn't take the opportunity to probe his memories, he felt much more at ease.

However, he still wouldn't be able to completely allow the other party to move freely within his mental space when the time came.

Moreover, although the Yamanaka Clan Head's speculation was wrong, it had opened up a new line of thought for him.

Uchiha Nagi suddenly thought about the issues with his training, especially regarding chakra control.

The training that should have become increasingly difficult had not manifested that way for him, which had previously led him to the illusion that his talent was improving.

But what if it was because his spiritual energy was growing rapidly on its own?

And in the process of this growth, it had exceeded the limits of what his body could withstand, which was what led to his current problem.

In other words, his body required him to rely on rest to endure the excessive spiritual energy.

Furthermore, this explained why he felt that his training was becoming easier and easier.

In the face of such vast spiritual energy, chakra control? That was merely a trivial matter.
