Chapter 17 A small opening doesn't count as an opening!
"I said calmly," Shimura Danzo said.
"really."
A memory surfaced in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
In Konoha today, there are not many ninjas who can use Water Release.
Perhaps Kiyoha is the only one who can use the water-style ninjutsu left behind by Tobirama.
After all, with the Senju clan now disbanded, most of their inheritance went to Tsunade alone.
As a princess, Tsunade naturally possessed such an honor.
"So why don't you let me take him under my wing? In three years, he'll surely regain some of the teacher's former glory."
Danzo Shimura, true to his original intention, continued to talk to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Recently, his experiments with Orochimaru have made some progress.
It turns out that the Senju and Uchiha clans have a mysterious connection that allows them to suppress each other.
For example, the Yang Release power within the Senju's cells can suppress the Yin Release power of the Sharingan.
Of course, ordinary Senju clan cells are not very effective; the best results in this regard come from "Hashira cells".
Danzo Shimura was very interested in Kiyohara's unconventional existence.
He felt that this would speed up the process of him gaining the power of the Sharingan.
The saying goes, "Learn from the barbarians' superior techniques to subdue them." Although Shimura Danzo disliked the Uchiha clan, he did not dislike the Sharingan.
"That's enough. Don't say things like that again."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose expression had softened, suddenly became serious again.
How could he not know the intricacies of his old friend's situation?
This has really harmed Qingyu.
"snort."
Seeing that his proposal had been rejected again, Shimura Danzo held back his anger and left without slamming the door.
Last time, Hiruzen Sarutobi held him accountable!
Seeing Shimura Danzo leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, summoned an ANBU ninja, and asked him to gather the latest information about Kiyoha for him.
……
That night, at the Uchiha clan's territory.
Uchiha Tetsuka knelt on the wooden floor of the training ground, with Uchiha Hachimoku frowning in front of him.
"Even you lost?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Uchiha Yatsuho's voice.
If Obito's loss to Kiyoha was somewhat expected, then Uchiha Tekka's defeat made him uneasy.
Although Uchiha Tekka wasn't the most outstanding genius among his peers in the clan, he was a pure-blooded Uchiha who had received formal training since childhood, and had a solid foundation in Fire Release and shurikenjutsu.
It is said that he performed as usual and successfully used "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".
Although its power is slightly less than a real fireball, it's not something that can be easily blocked.
"He's very fast."
Uchiha Tetsuka kept his head down.
"And that water-style ninjutsu... is very skillful."
He didn't know what level of water escaping Qingyu was using, but he guessed there was a pushing force involved.
Qingyu was already fast, so she jumped up and then came crashing down with her downward momentum, leaving him no time to react.
But... a loss is a loss.
Uchiha Tetsuka didn't want to make excuses.
This is a disgrace to the Uchiha clan.
"Water Release..."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha pondered.
Is it the legacy left by Tobirama Senju?
He waved his hand, his tone softening slightly:
"Never mind, I'll try again next time."
After Uchiha Tekka left, Uchiha Hachimoku stood alone in the empty training ground, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
A half-blood who had been separated from his family and had never received even a day of training from the Uchiha clan, was able to defeat a pure-blooded descendant carefully cultivated by the clan in actual combat.
What does this mean?
Is he really a genius?
He was a genius who was particularly suited to the Uchiha clan, but he was born into the Senju clan by mistake.
This made Uchiha Hachimoku stroke his chin.
The question of where Qingyu belonged initially sparked a series of disputes, but in the end, Tsunade took him in.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha was pondering whether or not to tell Lord Fugaku about this.
But wouldn't that make it seem like Lord Fugaku was negligent back then?
As Fugaku Uchiha's loyal confidant, the Eighth Hokage Uchiha was suddenly in a dilemma.
Although it is a time of peace, the atmosphere in the ninja world has begun to become subtly tense.
There have been some minor skirmishes on the border. Although they are not frequent, it is clear that all the major ninja villages are secretly accumulating strength.
If Qingyu is truly a rare genius, shouldn't the Uchiha clan consider recruiting him?
……
a few days later.
The monthly assessment results were posted on the classroom bulletin board.
Qingyu stood at the back of the crowd and glanced at the list over the throng of people.
First place: Kakashi Hatake; second place: Kiyoha; third place: ...
Expected.
In this class, he and Kakashi are the most versatile in all aspects.
However, Qingyu estimates that he will surpass Kakashi next semester.
After all, he now possesses special qualities, but he's only just begun accumulating them.
If someone with special abilities still can't beat Kakashi, then what's the point of having them?
A small investment doesn't count as a real investment!
"Qingyu is indeed outstanding."
Nohara Rin was also in the crowd, looking at the rankings.
"fine."
Qingyu nodded slightly.
When he turned around, he could still see Obito standing on tiptoe, jumping up and down from time to time, trying to see his ranking.
But when he discovered that his ranking was actually lower than Might Guy's, he immediately wore a bitter expression.
Just then, as Qingyu looked away, a line of text suddenly popped up in the corner of her eye.
[Collectible Trait Detected: Talented Player]
[E-Rank Trait: Talented Player]
[Effect: Increases ninjutsu learning efficiency by 10% without relying on bloodline limits.]
It's almost impossible to guess who this trait comes from.
He turned to look at Nohara Rin, who was looking at the list beside him.
The girl noticed his gaze, turned her head, and smiled.
"I hope I can be as excellent as Qingyu."
"Lin, you can definitely do it in the future."
Qingyu said.
Nohara Rin ranked fifth in theoretical scores and in the top ten in practical skills, making her stand out among the ordinary ninjas.
More importantly, this newly acquired trait completes the puzzle he's been waiting for.
In the past two weeks, Qingyu has collected quite a few more traits.
One of them is "Exceptional Memory," which increases the speed of memorizing things by 10%. It comes from the resident doctor in the Konoha Hospital corridor who flips through medical records and recites the pharmacopoeia at the same time.
Now, with the addition of Nohara Rin's [Talented Player], the synthesis conditions are finally met.
With a thought, Qingyu activated the Special Ability System.
[Synthesis: Add 'E-Rank Academic Prodigy' + 'E-Rank Superior Memory' + 'E-Rank Talented Player' to synthesize the D-Rank trait: Innate Healing Body.]
【Should we synthesize it?】
"synthesis."
Qingyu silently recited it in her heart.
The next moment, a new trait emerged.
[Rank D Trait: Innate Healing Body]
[Effect: Regardless of the type of medical ninjutsu used, its effectiveness is increased by an additional 20%.]
Qingyu let out a breath.
Twenty percent.
This bonus is quite significant for a D-tier trait.
With the added bonus of the [Healing Talent] he obtained from Tsunade, his effectiveness in treating trauma has reached 30%.
