Chapter 10 The Sigma Man
Chapter 10 The Sigma Man
"Asuma, why didn't you go see Hong today?"
Obito lay listlessly on the table.
Nohara Rin was diligently organizing her notes nearby, and he felt awkward disturbing her, so he found someone next to him to pass the time.
Sarutobi Asuma crossed his arms and casually said:
"I want to study."
"You're kidding me."
Obito mercilessly exposed him.
He noticed during class that Sarutobi Asuma had been glancing at Kurenai Yuhi out of the corner of his eye the whole time, without writing a single word in his notes.
Sarutobi Asuma, having been exposed, stopped pretending and let out a disgruntled snort.
After a brief observation, Sarutobi Asuma concluded that Obito was just a sycophant.
How can a man possibly revolve around a woman all day long?
No ambition.
Like him, he just wanted to go home with Kurenai every day.
"You bastard..."
Obito almost choked when he heard Sarutobi Asuma's words about his left brain fighting his right brain.
He only struck up a conversation with Sarutobi Asuma because he realized that Sarutobi Asuma also seemed to have someone he liked, and that they felt they had something in common.
As a result, this kid even pretended to be high and mighty.
Obito turned around and stopped talking.
Sarutobi Asuma ignored him, his eyes constantly glancing at Kiyoha, who was talking to Kurenai Yuhi.
The two stood very close and spoke in hushed tones, but their expressions and gestures suggested that they were discussing a very professional topic.
Sarutobi Asuma pricked up his ears and listened.
I couldn't understand a single word.
Sarutobi Asuma silently withdrew his gaze.
hateful.
The topic was too advanced; he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
He could say a few words if the discussion turned to fire-style techniques or taijutsu. The Sarutobi clan was renowned for its fire-style techniques, and their taijutsu lineage was also strong; he had practiced them extensively since childhood.
But illusion...
That's completely unrelated.
Sarutobi Asuma suddenly regretted that he had refused when Sarutobi Hiruzen offered to hire a genjutsu tutor for him, finding it too troublesome.
……
Soon, the day's classes came to an end.
After school, Kiyoha found Nohara Rin.
"Rin-san, do you want to go to Konoha Hospital together?"
"Konoha Hospital?"
Nohara Rin was taken aback.
"What are you going there for?"
"Konoha Hospital sometimes holds training sessions to specifically select students with medical ninja qualifications."
Qingyu explained.
"Although there is no formal system yet, going there can allow you to get a feel for some basic medical ninjutsu techniques in advance."
This system was only formalized decades later during the Boruto series, at Sakura's suggestion; at this point in time, it is still just a semi-official hobby activity.
After all, everything is imperfect at this time; there isn't even a department to diagnose child psychology.
However, on average, graduates of the Ninja Academy have to go to the battlefield at the age of twelve...
"Such a thing exists? I've never heard of it before!"
Nohara Rin agreed without hesitation.
Qingyu called for silence again.
Tsunade originally told him this, telling him to visit Konoha Hospital more often so that his internship could be arranged smoothly later.
Where are you going?
Obito rushed over and called out to Rin Nohara, who was about to leave.
"Qingyu-kun said that Konoha Hospital offers medical ninjutsu training, and I plan to go check it out."
After Nohara Rin finished speaking, she waved to Obito and then walked towards the school gate with Kiyoha and Shizune.
Obito instinctively wanted to follow, but someone grabbed his shoulder.
"Don't go."
Uchiha Tetsuka patted him on the shoulder.
"Our Uchiha clan doesn't have any medical ninjas."
They're a clan that thrives on fighting, so why would they bother learning medical ninjutsu?
Obito opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then realized that what Uchiha Tekka said seemed to be true.
In his memory, he had never heard of anyone in the clan who was a medical ninja.
When members of the Uchiha clan are injured, they go to Konoha Hospital to seek treatment from medical ninjas from other clans.
Obito stood there, watching helplessly as the three figures disappeared into the sunset.
……
Konoha Hospital.
Three people walked through the gate.
"What a handsome kid."
As soon as Qingyu entered the room, she heard people whispering among themselves.
Several nurses stood to one side, looking at him intently. Two of them were even whispering to each other with smiles on their faces.
Qingyu continued walking forward without changing her expression.
Now that he hasn't developed, even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be able to; even the Thousand Hands bloodline can't carry him.
It's better to be a Sigma man.
Shizune led the way, as she was already quite familiar with Konoha Hospital.
After walking through the corridor and turning two corners, the three of them stopped in front of an office with a sign that read "Medical Team Leader's Office".
Silently knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Pushing open the door, I saw a woman in a white coat sitting behind a desk, looking through medical records.
She looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with fine lines around her eyes, but her overall demeanor was very gentle.
"Ah, you must be Qingyu?"
Michiko Matsuzaka raised her head, her gaze lingering on Kiyoha for a moment before turning to Shizune beside her.
"The one behind is silent, I recognize it."
She smiled.
"Lady Tsunade already spoke to me."
"Hello, Michiko-neechan."
Qingyu said.
Although the other person was old enough to be his aunt, Qingyu wisely chose to address her as "older sister".
Michiko Matsuzaka's smile instantly brightened several times over, and even the fine lines around her eyes smoothed out.
"This child has such a sweet tongue."
She stood up cheerfully, her gaze falling on Nohara Rin, and hesitated for a moment.
"Who are you……"
"My name is Nohara Rin, and I'm Kiyoha's classmate."
Nohara Rin quickly introduced herself.
"I'm very interested in medical ninjutsu, so I came along to take a look."
"I see, welcome, welcome."
Michiko Matsuzaka didn't ask any further questions. She turned around and called out to the door, asking a medical ninja to fetch three cups.
Qingyu glanced at the crowded training classroom in the corridor outside the door. It was filled with young people who came to listen to the lectures, and some of them could only stand in the last row.
"Don't we need to go outside and be with everyone?"
He asked.
"No, no need."
Michiko Matsuzaka waved her hand, gesturing for the three of them to sit on the sofa in her office.
"You were introduced by Lady Tsunade, so you can have private lessons with me. The classes outside are too crowded and the explanations are too basic, so they're not suitable for you."
She sat back down in her chair, placed her hands on the table, and looked at Qingyu with a smile.
Lady Tsunade specifically instructed her to take good care of these children.
Especially Qingyu.
These are Lady Tsunade's clansmen.
Seeing this, Qingyu had no choice but to nod.
However, he still stood closer to the door.
His main purpose in coming here was to see if he could pick up any traits.
While Qingyu was waiting, three lines of text suddenly appeared in the corner of her eye.
[Collectible trait detected: Simple bandaging]
[Level E Trait: Simple Bandaging]
[Effect: Increases wound bandaging speed by 10%.]
"As expected, it's all about having a lot of people."
Qingyu stroked her chin.
Although we don't know who dropped this trait, it's his now.
