Chapter 49 - A Test

If other medical staff were to witness Nono speaking to Kiyoshi in such a coaxing tone, they would undoubtedly be astonished.

Nono may appear gentle and good-tempered, but she is ruthless in her actions, almost like the emotionless ninjas of the Anbu.

Following this, Nono led Kiyoshi to a location to conduct a test.

Kiyoshi readily agreed to go, and after a series of tests, Nono finally confirmed that Kiyoshi possessed Yang Chakra nature.

"Then, from now on, you will follow me and learn medical ninjutsu." Nono stated.

Since she had said those words to Kiyoshi, she ought to abide by them.

Moreover, it wouldn't be bad to take in a pure and innocent child before finally leaving.

In Nono's eyes, every child is a blank slate, untainted by the filth of the world.

Having worked for Root for a long time and carried out numerous missions, Nono had witnessed far too many vile and sordid affairs.

Furthermore, Nono was aware of the Uchiha clan being suppressed and hidden away in Konoha.

Especially her immediate superior, the leader of Root, Danzo, whose aversion to the Uchiha had reached the point of discrimination.

He would constantly murmur about his mentor, Senju Tobirama's criticisms of the Uchiha during his lifetime.

Many children, like Kiyoshi, were born with original sin simply because they bore the Uchiha surname.

But Nono couldn't control or do anything about these matters.

All she could do was distance herself from Konoha and open an orphanage in the outside world to spend her remaining years.

"Okay, Nono-sensei."

Kiyoshi immediately called her teacher.

Then, he looked at Nono with anticipation.

At this moment, Nono was wearing a white coat, and her chest was prominently protruding.

Compared to the black nun outfit in the original story, the current Nono was more like a compassionate doctor saving the world.

Nono shook her head and chuckled, saying, "Don't worry, I will teach you medical ninjutsu. First, I'll find a D-rank medical ninjutsu for you to start with."

Nono took Kiyoshi to her office and searched through it.

Before long, she took out a pale white scroll and gave it to Kiyoshi.

"This is the Minor Wound Healing Technique, which can heal small wounds on the skin."

Kiyoshi opened it and found that there were quite a few words inside.

Nono said, "When performing medical ninjutsu, Chakra control is indispensable, and a ninja should be able to last for a long time. A lot of hard work is needed to master all these characteristics."

"Yes, Nono-sensei, I will definitely study hard and repay you in the future."

Kiyoshi's words made Nono smile.

Kiyoshi, who had just become a Genin, was already talking about repaying her. He gave Nono a sense of simplicity and innocence.

Of course, if an adult were to say these words, Nono would only find them creepy.

"Just having the thought is enough."

Nono then found a transparent glass and poured coffee and milk together, gently stirring them into a soil-like mixed color.

"If you want to be a medical ninja, this is the first lesson. Use chakra to separate these two liquids."

Children's interests come and go quickly.

She wanted to see how much interest Kiyoshi had in this area and how good his talent was.

Upon hearing this, Kiyoshi placed his hands on the glass.

He gathered the chakra in his body in his hands, attempting to control the mixture inside by passing chakra through the glass wall.

Seeing Kiyoshi's serious appearance, Nono reminded him, "Although both are liquids, coffee and milk have different specific gravities (density), so they can be separated. This is the foundation of medical ninjutsu and the core principle of Poison Extraction Technique. If you can't master this step, it won't be easy for you to become a medical ninja."

Nono explained while observing Kiyoshi's reaction.

She was prepared to guide Kiyoshi for a long time, after all, this exercise was quite difficult.

Usually, a Genin would have to try for at least a few hours to get a grasp of it.

If their talent is poor, it may take days or even months.

The Poison Extraction Technique can also be used to separate toxins from the body.

If you are poisoned by an enemy while performing a mission, or if a companion is bitten by a venomous snake, it can come in handy.

If you can't learn this technique, it will be a little difficult to become a medical ninja.

Possessing Yang Chakra nature only means that learning medical ninjutsu will be much easier than those who don't have it.

But if you want to be proficient in medical ninjutsu, it ultimately depends on the individual's ability to finely control chakra.

This is also why medical ninjutsu is far more difficult than other ninjutsu, and the number of medical ninjas is less than that of ordinary ninjas.

Kiyoshi listened to Nono's explanation and focused on separating the mixed liquids with chakra.

The [Academic Genius (Green)] trait increased Kiyoshi's learning speed by one-fifth on the original basis.

Moreover, the [Solid Foundation (Green)] trait increased Kiyoshi's chakra reserves.

After several seconds, Kiyoshi's hands slightly trembled, and the liquid in the glass began to change.

The soil-colored coffee and intertwined white milk in the cup showed a tendency to separate, and the two liquids of two different colors gradually separated.

The muddy color gradually became clear.

The coffee floated to the top, and the white milk settled to the bottom, the two clearly separated.

"How is that possible..."

Nono blinked, almost suspecting that she had seen it wrong.

Nono unconsciously leaned forward, and the white coat on her chest slightly tightened.

She had personally guided many students in this exercise.

Most of the children with talent in medical ninjutsu had failed when trying for the first time, or they had only separated a little blurry boundary.

But the little brat in front of her, who had just been promoted to Genin, had completed an almost perfect separation in a matter of seconds.

The corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak for a moment.

Many thoughts flashed in her mind, and for a moment, she even suspected whether Kiyoshi had secretly practiced similar manipulation techniques.

But looking at his serious but slightly naive appearance, it was obvious that he was encountering such training for the first time.

And mere child's disguise couldn't be hidden from her.

Kiyoshi looked up at her and said, "Nono-sensei, I succeeded!"

"Yes." Nono nodded slightly.

Suddenly, she had the intention of cultivating Kiyoshi. Perhaps she could leave a trace in Konoha before leaving.

Every medical ninja is a rare talent. It is not easy to train one.

Otherwise, they would have already assigned one medical ninja to every three-man squad.
