Mental Issues?

Uchiha Nagi tidied up the relevant memories slightly.

Uchiha Nagi tidied up the relevant memories slightly.

Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina truly getting together was thanks to the divine intervention of Cloud Village acting as a matchmaker.

Before that, the two had basically no interaction, and if Namikaze Minato paid attention to Uzumaki Kushina, it was only in secret, not openly.

"Seriously, do I have to escort your relationship?" Uchiha Nagi yawned, completely uninterested.

He just wanted a peaceful life; he was too lazy to bother with such troublesome things.

Thinking this, Uchiha Nagi leaned back in his chair, wanting to continue resting.

However, the noise behind him grew louder, making it impossible for him to rest peacefully.

When one wants to rest but cannot get enough rest, their mood deteriorates significantly. Uchiha Nagi was no exception.

He slammed his palm on the table, stood up, and turned to face the few people over there.

At that moment, a boy was pulling Uzumaki Kushina's hair.

"If you want to make a scene, go do it outside the classroom. You're here, and you're disturbing me."

Uchiha Nagi's voice was full of dissatisfaction. Didn't he just want to rest in peace? Who had he offended by being so noisy right by his ear!

Instantly, those boys were startled and looked at Uchiha Nagi.

Finally, one of them mustered up the courage: "Uchiha Nagi, we're subordinates of boss Enichi. We're not afraid of you!"

"Oh?" Uchiha Nagi sneered.

"You can ask classmate Enichi if he'll help you or me?"

They froze for a moment, then looked at Uchiha Enichi, who glared at them.

That glare told them Uchiha Enichi's choice. Their arrogance vanished, and they stopped bothering Uzumaki Kushina, returning to their seats.

Uchiha Enichi also glanced at Uchiha Nagi. Although he still looked down on him a bit, Uchiha Nagi was still his clansman.

A clansman versus some unimportant underlings – it wasn't even a choice.

The honor of the Uchiha must not be tarnished!

Uzumaki Kushina was a bit taken aback. She had been ready to fight back, but she never expected it to end like this.

Should she go over and thank him then?

With that thought, Uzumaki Kushina walked over to Uchiha Nagi's seat.

"No need to thank me. I didn't intend to help you; your voices were just too loud and disturbed my rest," Uchiha Nagi said without looking up, having heard Uzumaki Kushina's footsteps.

"Regardless, thank you for speaking up," Uzumaki Kushina said after a moment of surprise.

"If you want to thank me, just fight back next time. As long as you hurt them, this kind of thing won't happen again. Also..."

Uchiha Nagi offered Uzumaki Kushina some advice, then suddenly seemed to remember something.

Uzumaki Kushina nodded along as she listened. This was exactly what she thought – beat them up!

But Uchiha Nagi's pause made her curious.

"Also what?"

"Try to fight outside, don't disturb me in the classroom," Uchiha Nagi finally looked up, his gaze serious as he looked at Uzumaki Kushina.

"Hmph, I got it," Uzumaki Kushina said no more and returned to her seat.

After Uzumaki Kushina left, Uchiha Nagi intended to continue resting, but then he heard the school bell.

"Sigh, so annoying. Such good time wasted," Uchiha Nagi complained.

"Nagi, why do you always seem so tired?" Namikaze Minato finally asked, looking at Uchiha Nagi.

He had actually noticed this problem long ago. Although the other party studied diligently every day, he would rest whenever he had free time, and his mental state didn't seem very good.

"Hmm? Do I?" Uchiha Nagi was taken aback.

"Of course. Haven't you noticed it yourself?" Namikaze Minato retorted.

Finally, Uchiha Nagi frowned and recalled his own state. It seemed... something was indeed wrong.

He had initially thought he wanted to rest because of his past life, wanting to just lie flat.

Furthermore, he also spent a lot of time cultivating every day, which was very tiring, leading to this result.

Now, with Namikaze Minato's reminder, his condition was indeed not right.

No matter how much he rested, his mind always felt perpetually not full of energy, which was why he wanted to rest and recover whenever he had the chance.

"Could it be a lack of nutrition?"

Uchiha Nagi frowned and mentally calculated his expenses on food, feeling that this shouldn't be the reason.

He had never shortchanged himself in this regard. A ninja's body was the foundation of their chakra reserves, so he never lacked meat, eggs, milk, or vegetables.

He even cooked for himself due to his desire to enjoy life. He knew exactly how much nutrition he consumed, and it was definitely enough to meet his body's needs.

"Nagi, although nothing has happened yet, I think it's best if you go to the hospital," Namikaze Minato said with some concern.

"Mm, I understand. I'll head over when I have the time."

Uchiha Nagi didn't refuse, not really understanding why he should, and visiting the Konoha Hospital was already on his agenda anyway.

It was just that he had originally intended to finish his weighted tree-climbing training before going, but it seemed he would have to move that up now.

Later, after discovering the potential issue with himself, Uchiha Nagi paid extra attention to his state, and the result allowed him to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Although he felt an overwhelming urge to rest the moment his focus slipped, he could avoid it by concentrating his mind, and he felt nothing else amiss afterward.

Therefore, while there might be a problem, it was not serious.

"Still, I should go to the hospital."

Uchiha Nagi did not want any unexpected issues to arise with his body or his mind.

Without wasting any time, Uchiha Nagi quickly registered for an appointment; since both locations were in the center of Konoha, the distance between them was not far.

"Your body is perfectly healthy; there are no issues whatsoever," the doctor concluded after examining Uchiha Nagi.

"Doctor, I suspect the problem might be related to my mental state," Uchiha Nagi said, offering his own theory.

"Based on your description, that is indeed a possibility, but our hospital currently has no way to diagnose mental ailments, let alone treat them."

The doctor looked troubled; fundamentally, almost all medical ninjutsu did not involve the mental realm.

"How about this: as it stands, there are no major problems. Go back and get plenty of rest for now, and if it continues, come back to the hospital again."

The doctor offered this suggestion after some thought.

"Understood."
