In Konoha: I will spread the will of conquest throughout the ninja world.

"Old man, stop hiding, I saw everything."

"It's Jiraiya."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained calm, his mental fortitude as unyielding as a rock.

He cleared his throat lightly and asked seriously, "How is it?"

When the topic turned to business, Jiraiya's expression became slightly unnatural.

"He's definitely a promising talent; we can take him on."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, quite proud of himself.

Putting aside other aspects, he is very confident in his own vision.

Looking at his students, apart from Tsunade, whose extraordinary family background and powerful bloodline made her strength so reasonable, the other two students, Orochimaru and Jiraiya, were commoners he discovered.

He has grown to the point where he can now face off against veteran powerhouses.

"Old man, when did the Ninja Academy start teaching how to make laxatives?" Jiraiya asked, driven by his curiosity.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile faltered as the image of Kobayashi Mika coming to him to tattle on him automatically flashed into his mind.

This is absolutely outrageous! A ninja academy teacher actually came to the Hokage to complain because the students were overwhelmed. Even Tsunade, when she was in the academy, didn't cause this much trouble.

"Wu Shigenoku, whose parents were both heroes who sacrificed themselves for Konoha, was unremarkable until recently when he began to show his talent."

"Another genius?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.

In that special duel just now, Fifty String revealed very little. Just from speed, strength, and perception, he could tell that the other was indeed a genius, but the extent of that genius was unknown.

There are geniuses among ninjas who achieve great things later in life.

He doesn't boast; he's just like that himself.

Moreover, ten years old is the age when one should be adventurous.

Neither of them doubted Yuuka's identity. Although Konoha Village had a large number of ordinary people, it could not change the fact that it was a military base. The Ninja Academy, which could continuously produce ninjas, was of paramount importance.

If someone could switch the son of a hero under the watchful eyes of the Hokage and one of the Legendary Sannin, then Konoha might as well just hand over its territory to them.

After laughing, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe, and through the white smoke, his aged but spirited eyes gazed at his prized disciple, whose interests and hobbies were most aligned with his own.

"A ninja who leaves the village without orders is considered a rogue ninja, Jiraiya."

"Hahaha." Jiraiya chuckled dryly, scratched his head, his eyes darting around, then suddenly realized something.

"I need to go and assess my future disciple. Becoming the disciple of the future Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku won't be easy."

Ninja School.

As the events that occurred on his way to school gradually spread among the students, many people's gazes toward Isogen changed spontaneously.

Fear, curiosity, speculation.

Ninja Academy students are more or less prone to showing off, and challenging each other to duels is a common occurrence. Even the "peak showdown" between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans only sparked a small-scale discussion.

But this time it's really different.

Anyone want to try laxatives?

It's still the powerful version!

Click, click.

"Even though it's for the sake of victory, it still feels a bit strange to use laxatives," Akimichi Choza commented while eating potato chips.

"Fifty Strings of Song, this senior who has recently risen to prominence certainly has a unique fighting style." Yamanaka Inoichi nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Then, the two of them looked at the pineapple-headed girl in the corner who was covering her face with a book.

"What do you think, Shikaku?"

When asked, Nara Shikaku put the book down, yawned, and said lazily, "I watched with my eyes... Isn't that how ninja battles are? That senior's method was super awesome."

Yamanaka Inoichi and Akimichi Choza exchanged a glance.

It sounds like Nara Shikaku really admires Igogen Yoka's fighting style.

"Think about it, isn't the goal of a ninja's battle victory? Intelligence, personal strength, objective factors, weapons and equipment, logistics and supplies—no matter which method you use, as long as you can win, that's the best outcome."

As he spoke, he sighed.

"I wish I could do that."

The two exchanged a glance and shrugged.

The Nara family's common flaws are that while they have the highest IQ among the three families, they are also the laziest.

"A lot of people are talking about it." Minato Namikaze whispered to Isogen in the classroom.

Wushu didn't seem to realize he'd caused any trouble.

"After all, he's a senior student from the Sarutobi family. He's probably quite arrogant, otherwise he wouldn't be generating this much buzz. Don't worry, the hype will die down in a while."

Those who are being educated will certainly not swallow this insult.

Minato Namikaze, feeling rather helpless watching the man casually scribbling in the book, simply asked a question.

"I plan to graduate soon, what about you? With your current abilities, graduating early shouldn't be difficult."

The normal graduation age at the Ninja Academy is twelve. In Minato Namikaze's view, the graduation requirements are very simple. With the level that Isogen has shown in the past month, passing the test will be a piece of cake.

"No." Isogen smiled calmly, tapping the paper lightly with the tip of his pen. On it was a standard human anatomy diagram.

The prototype is based on the illustration of Konoha Hospital.

"I want to stay until I graduate naturally and become a medical ninja."

"Medical ninja?"

The question didn't come from Minato Namikaze. The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw an ordinary-looking child who looked like a student standing there.

The reason it is suspected is...

"My will to dominate is trembling!"

This person is definitely not an ordinary ninja academy student, nor is he likely an enemy.

At this time, Minato Namikaze...

Jiraiya?

After the Second Shinobi World War, Jiraiya took care of Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan in the Land of Rain and took them as his disciples.

After Minato Namikaze graduated, he briefly returned to Konoha and served as Minato's team leader Jonin.

It's reasonable that a ninja would appear in Konoha, given their fast movement speed.

Jiraiya, disguised using the Transformation Technique, spoke.

"Becoming a medical ninja isn't easy." He looked at Igarashi with curiosity.

Logically speaking, shouldn't kids this age all be eager to become powerful ninjas, gallop across the battlefield, and become heroes of the village?

This was the first time Jiraiya had ever heard a boy still at the ninja academy say he wanted to become a medical ninja.

Minato Namikaze was also very curious; it was the first time he had heard that Igarashi wanted to become a medical ninja.

Tsunade, who made a name for herself in the Second Shinobi World War, is recognized as the strongest medical ninja, but even so, the situation of medical ninjas has not improved much.

"That's why you have to learn." Ishigaki said calmly.

One reason I set my sights on becoming a medical ninja was because of Dr. Nonou Yakushi, the nun-like woman who treated children like nuns.

Secondly, it was because of myself.

The more Yin and Yang attributes you enhance, the stronger your body becomes.

His Yin-Yang attribute points allocation is quite different from others.

Take Minato Namikaze as an example. His Yang attribute is specifically manifested in his nerve reflexes and chakra reserves, which are emphasized.

The Nara family's Yin attribute emphasizes family secrets and intelligence.

His improvement was comprehensive and thorough.

As long as the ninja world is continuously enveloped, covered, and influenced by his will of dominance, becoming a medical ninja is a trivial matter.

On the surface, the orphanage director, Pharmacist Nonou, is the notorious spy known as the "Wandering Shrine Maiden." She is forced to operate in the shadows because the orphanage is being blackmailed by Danzo.

If you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

He wouldn't blindly believe information from past lives; even the smallest butterfly can cause a storm, what if?

Therefore, he wants to be a powerful ninja, and he also wants to be a medical ninja who is a medical master.

A two-pronged approach was adopted, disinfecting while simultaneously treating the infection.
