Medical ninjutsu, however, is not something that can be mastered easily. Every technique requires precise chakra control at the very least.
It consumes more manpower and resources, and without a Yang attribute, wanting to learn medical ninjutsu is just a pipe dream.
"My name is Uchiha Shimizu. I also want to learn medical ninjutsu like my sister, so that when my ninja beast gets injured, I can help heal it."
Shimizu spoke with sincerity.
The white dove on his shoulder seemed to understand his words, lightly tapping him with its claws, as if complaining about something.
In response, Shimizu could only say, "I'll add extra chicken legs for you tonight."
"Uchiha, huh..."
Pharmacist Nono suddenly realized.
It seemed that Shimizu had indeed learned on his own.
Generally, the Uchiha clan is composed of elites, so it's not surprising that Shimizu could achieve this outcome through self-study.
As for D-rank ninjutsu, if one is willing to spend money, it's possible to buy it. With a bit of a ninja network, one can easily learn it by themselves.
What's hard to obtain are the higher-ranked ninjutsu and family secrets.
After all, D-rank techniques are only learned by Genin, those who have just entered the ninja world.
Pharmacist Nono subconsciously looked at Shimizu's eyes and noticed they were pitch black.
She ruled out the possibility that Shimizu had used the Sharingan recently.
At his age, awakening the Sharingan would be too early.
Then, she thought of some rumors about the Uchiha clan.
The second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, had left behind problematic policies, and she was a member of the Root.
She knew well that the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was becoming increasingly distant, driven by the Uchiha's pride and Danzo's manipulation.
"How about this? Come to the Konoha Hospital tomorrow, and I'll personally guide you for an hour."
Pharmacist Nono thought for a moment. She had already decided to leave the ninja world behind.
She no longer wanted to deal with the village's internal disputes and only wished to run an orphanage, living an ordinary life.
Her years as a spy had allowed her to discern that Shimizu's intentions were not pure; he had come for her medical ninjutsu.
Perhaps this whole thing was just an act.
But none of that mattered anymore. Some medical ninjutsu techniques, once passed on, were already passed on.
Before she left, helping an Uchiha was just a small favor.
She healed the wound on Shimizu's hand completely, gave him a smile, and then turned to go upstairs.
"Done."
Shimizu silently rejoiced.
In the original story, Nono would teach medical ninjutsu to the ordinary students at the orphanage.
This suggested that she didn't place much importance on medical ninjutsu.
Though his actions now would reveal his talent, it wasn't a big deal.
Exposing some of his abilities in pursuit of greater benefits was a very worthwhile trade.
Previously, he had kept a low profile because there was no benefit.
Now that there was something to gain, there was no need to keep hiding; that would be foolish.
As the saying goes, "The tree that stands out is the one that gets cut down," but Shimizu wasn't such a tree that needed to be destroyed.
Kakashi Hatake was the true prodigy.
He still didn't understand why Kakashi hadn't been dissected for research, as no one seemed to wonder why someone so talented like him existed.
At the age of 4 or 5, Kakashi could use Earth Release: Earth Wave smoothly, with more chakra than children his age.
By 12, he had developed an S-rank ninjutsu. B-rank ninjutsu, after all, is of a difficulty suitable for high-ranking ninjas.
A-rank ninjutsu was for elite ninjas, and those who could use it were already in the upper ranks.
The highest level of ninjutsu is S-rank. Mastering just one of them could make anyone a formidable force.
With Kakashi's talents, he was just doing his missions without anyone questioning it.
Shimizu's exposed talents would only surprise people, not make him seen as a monster.
D-rank ninjutsu is the standard for Genin-level techniques.
It only shows that his self-learning ability is very high.
If he were to learn S-rank ninjutsu at his age, Shimizu guessed that Danzo would go to any lengths to eliminate him that very night.
Even if that meant facing the Uchiha clan in public...
"Let's go."
Shimizu petted the small head of his white dove and left Konoha Hospital.
There were many benefits to having a ninja beast; it could assist its master in gathering intelligence or even serve as a medium for ninjutsu.
It was like Itachi's crow clone technique, where a group of crows was summoned, and chakra was projected onto them to create clones.
Once Shimizu learned summoning techniques, he could call upon his ninja beast at any time, without needing to carry it everywhere.
From tomorrow onward, he would begin learning medical ninjutsu here.
Medical ninjutsu involved a vast amount of theoretical knowledge, and just being able to follow chakra flow wasn't enough.
One needed to have the corresponding knowledge in their mind to use stronger techniques and further develop medical ninjutsu, even creating their own.
Pharmacist Nono wouldn't stay in Konoha for long, so Shimizu's time to learn would be short.
Once Nono became the head of the orphanage, she would no longer want to deal with anything related to ninjas.
Later, when Danzo forced her back into the ninja world, she would be sent on missions in foreign countries. In the original story, she was so busy that she barely had time for the orphanage.
Of course, learning medical ninjutsu wasn't limited to this.
Konoha also had a stronger medical ninja, Tsunade Senju.
But Tsunade wasn't always in the village, and at the moment, she suffered from hemophobia.
Would she help him? Nono didn't think so.
Shimizu certainly didn't expect Tsunade's help.
After all, the person who moved Tsunade in the original story was Naruto Uzumaki.
He was the reincarnation of a god, which gave him an advantage.
Additionally, Naruto was brought in by Jiraiya, who was the son of the Fourth Hokage.
The Uzumaki clan was a distant relative of the Senju clan, with good relations.
Plus, Naruto's verbal skills had helped Tsunade overcome her phobia of blood, deciding to help Konoha and curing her condition.
It could be said that he had all the right conditions.
Shimizu, with nothing to offer, would be lucky if Tsunade didn't find him bothersome.
The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan was rather delicate.
It was a historical issue, one that those who understood the situation would know.
"Goo."
The white dove used its sharp beak to smooth out its feathers and pointed in a direction with its wings.
"I won't let you down."
Shimizu smiled knowingly, understanding that the dove was making a request.
In this world, besides humans, there were other intelligent beings.
Those who made contracts with ninjas were called ninja beasts, while those who could be summoned were called summoning beasts.
Most of them had human-like intelligence, some could talk, and others could not.
The most notable ones were the Three Great Sage Lands: Mount Myoboku, the Ryuchi Cave, and the Shikkotsu Forest.
The creatures from these places could all speak, and they could use senjutsu by harnessing natural energy.
The dove's intelligence wasn't very high, equivalent to a three-year-old child. This was a deliberate choice by Shimizu, as he preferred a more obedient and easy-to-train companion.
"Goo-goo."
The dove chirped happily as it saw Shimizu heading in the direction it pointed.
When other male birds tried to court the dove, it would disdainfully turn its head away.
In nature, males are often more beautiful than females.
Humans are the same, so Shimizu, who was this handsome, made the dove look down on other, less attractive birds.
Of course, the dove, with its small brain capacity, didn't understand what reproductive isolation meant.
Uchiha Settlement.
As the sky darkened, Shimizu returned home after being delayed outside for a while. He looked at the empty Uchiha settlement and knew that today was the day of the Nanhe Shrine gathering.
"Hey, Shimizu."
A boy with a black mole in the middle of his forehead ran over. It was none other than Uchiha Tekka.
"The adults have gone to the gathering again," he whispered to Shimizu.
"We'll join them soon."
Shimizu stopped walking.
There weren't many ninjas of Shimizu's age in the Uchiha clan, and Uchiha Tekka was one of them. The two had a good relationship.
"Yeah, we'll go join them soon."
Tekka nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with longing.
