Can You Teach Me Konoha Ninjutsu?

"Classmate Kiyoshi is from the Uchiha Clan. Haven't you learned any?"

Rin Nohara asked curiously.

Although Kiyoshi was from the Land of Lightning, his surname was "Uchiha."

The Uchiha Clan was one of the village's great clans and held sole authority over the Konoha Military Police Force. It was no exaggeration to call them Konoha's elite!

"Even in the Uchiha Clan, you can't just learn ninjutsu whenever you want."

The moment Obito saw Rin approaching Kiyoshi after class, he immediately ran over.

"To prevent clan members from abusing ninjutsu or aiming too high, everything has to be approved by the elders in charge of management."

Obito spoke at length.

Otherwise, wouldn't everyone just pick the strongest ninjutsu right from the start?

"So that's how it is."

Rin Nohara nodded, her short hair swaying as a few black strands fell across the purple markings on either side of her face.

She was merely a child born to civilians and did not know much about such matters.

"Then, Classmate Rin Nohara, could you teach me?"

Kiyoshi spoke, his dark eyes fixed on Rin Nohara.

Rin Nohara's figure was reflected in his pupils. Perhaps because late autumn was drawing near, she wore considerably thicker clothes.

Rin Nohara had value he could make use of. Asking her for guidance would let him grow stronger faster.

Rin Nohara was a medical genius. The fact that she, a Chunin, knew the Mystical Palm Technique was proof enough.

What rank of ninjutsu was the Mystical Palm Technique?

The answer was A-rank!

Its difficulty was second only to S-rank ninjutsu, and Medical Arts were often even harder to learn than ordinary ninjutsu.

They demanded even greater attention to the fine control of Chakra. A tiny error could lead to a thousand-mile deviation.

This showed that Rin Nohara had talent in this area, and an A-rank Mystical Palm Technique was not something one could learn easily.

Tsunade had proposed assigning Medical Ninja to mission squads and establishing a training system for them during the Second Shinobi World War.

Only a few years had passed since the end of the Second Shinobi World War, and many things were still being refined.

Rin Nohara's talent must have caught the attention of Konoha's Medical Corps for her to be taught an A-rank medical ninjutsu so quickly.

Had she not died young, she might have become a Medical Ninja as famous as Tsunade or Sakura in the future.

"Mm, sure."

Rin Nohara thought for a moment, then agreed.

"But at school, we only have some E-rank ninjutsu. That's all I can teach you."

"Then I'll be relying on you, Classmate Rin Nohara."

Kiyoshi smiled slightly. "You've really helped me out."

"It's nothing. We're classmates, after all."

Rin Nohara shook her head.

Obito, standing nearby, felt as if he had picked up a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

If he had known, he would not have told Rin about this!

"Rin, hurry up and teach me too."

Obito pleaded with Rin, unwilling to let her teach only Kiyoshi.

Unfortunately, the class bell had already rung, so Obito could only return to his seat first.

Looking at the blackboard covered in dense writing, Obito spun his pen around his fingertips and began daydreaming.

"Hehe, once Rin gives me special training too, I'll definitely show that smug Kakashi what I'm made of."

Obito sank into his wonderful fantasies, occasionally glancing at Kakashi or Rin Nohara.

Kiyoshi, meanwhile, continued reading.

This knowledge was basic, but also precious.

Within the Uchiha Clan, he had always been an "outsider."

Would they send someone to guide him? If they did, how much would they teach him?

All of that was unknown.

Kiyoshi could not cling to luck and fantasize that the Uchiha Clan would send some powerful figure to personally instruct him.

He understood his current identity clearly.

A mixed-blood Uchiha who had been picked up.

The only reason he had drawn attention was that they feared there might be others like him.

Moreover, with only one Sharingan awakened, others might even see Kiyoshi as some "foreign trash" from the Land of Lightning.

Kiyoshi had not chosen Rin Nohara at random when he told her these things.

There was another genius in the class as well: Kakashi Hatake.

Kiyoshi glanced toward the front, where a boy with messy white hair and a black face mask sat.

But Kakashi was nowhere near as easygoing as Rin.

Konoha White Fang would soon die, directly causing Kakashi's temperament to change drastically. He would become cold and numb, then apply for Early Graduation.

The side of ninjas as tools would be displayed vividly through Kakashi.

After a brief moment of thought, Kiyoshi continued studying.

No matter what, improving his own strength was the proper path.

Soon, the day came to an end.

Kiyoshi had also begun adapting to life here.

The Ninja Academy's curriculum could roughly be divided into five sections.

Theory, training, history, experience, and practice.

Simply put, theory covered ninjutsu, hand signs, and some basic physics and mathematics; training worked on the students' bodies and taught some basic taijutsu; history introduced Konoha and notable figures from the Shinobi World.

Experience covered the skills of a ninja—gathering military intelligence, assassination, codes, espionage, concealment, and so on. Female ninjas also received specialized training for women. Finally came practical combat, where ninjas sparred with one another.

Yet one crucial thing was missing.

Thought and morality.

The Ninja Academy ultimately existed to produce ninjas. It did not enlighten its students' minds.

The most obvious example was the Daimyo.

In a world where individual power could destroy heaven and earth, ordinary people were somehow the rulers.

Even in Boruto, Naruto, after becoming the Seventh Hokage, was still constrained by the Daimyo. Even if Konoha's funding was cut, he could only endure it silently.

"Thinking about that is still too far off."

Seeing that the classroom was empty and only he remained, Kiyoshi opened the translucent Entry System.

After testing it, he confirmed that no one besides him could see the Entry System.

Perhaps because of his arrival, most of today's lessons had covered history and culture.

Entry: Reading Comprehension (White).

Requirement: Read 10 articles and complete detailed notes.

Progress: 50%.

Effect: Your absorption speed for written information has increased slightly. You understand content 10% faster than ordinary people.

Note: Can be upgraded further.

Kiyoshi looked at the second entry.

Entry: Basic Memory (White).

Requirement: Memorize 5 selected historical biographies of figures from the Shinobi World.

Progress: 40%.

Effect: Your short-term memory has improved slightly. You can remember words and phrases faster, with memory efficiency increased by 5% compared to ordinary people.

Note: Can be upgraded further.

"Studying cultural subjects should be much easier now," Kiyoshi thought.

This was only the beginning. White was probably the lowest grade and the easiest kind of entry to obtain.

So far, every entry he had received was marked "Can be upgraded further." Once he met certain conditions, he would most likely be able to upgrade them.

Basic Memory and Reading Comprehension were both exactly what Kiyoshi needed. To become a Medical Ninja, he had to memorize a vast amount of medical knowledge.

"Classmate Kiyoshi."

Kiyoshi closed the panel and packed his things, preparing to leave his seat, when a voice came from the doorway.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Rin Nohara poked her little head in from outside, her eyes full of confusion as she looked at Kiyoshi.
