Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 26 Two Years

Winter passed and spring came. In the blink of an eye, two years had passed, and it was now Konoha Year 32.

At the Ninja Academy, students' courses are mainly divided into two categories: practical classes and theoretical classes.

The practical training includes three parts: mastery of ninja tools, practice of the Three Body Techniques, and taijutsu training.

The theoretical courses include ninja world geography, ninja world history, basic poisons, basic sealing techniques, basic ninjutsu analysis, and so on.

A group of children under the age of twelve, who are at an active age, are naturally interested in practical classes that can clearly improve their strength, but not in theoretical classes that sound like gibberish.

In addition, the minimum requirement for graduating from the Ninja Academy is simply to master the Three Body Techniques, which leads to most students being severely unbalanced in their studies.

The emphasis on practical application over theory is a very common phenomenon in ninja academies.

That's for sure. In Kirito's opinion, the theoretical courses do not include ninja world geography and ninja world history, and the rest of the courses are not friendly to most ordinary students who have no foundation at all.

For example, there are a lot of terms in basic toxicology. If students want to learn how to make some basic poisons and antidotes through the book, they must first understand them, otherwise the making will fail. Many of these terms are not even understood by the teachers in class, let alone the students.

Teachers don't explain things over and over in class; how much students understand depends entirely on their memory and the effort they put in behind the scenes.

As for basic sealing techniques, needless to say, these two things are no different from high school math for students at the Ninja Academy. Only true geniuses can keep up with the teacher's pace.

The teachers at the school didn't feel anything was wrong with this, because they had never had any expectations for the students in the first place regarding their theoretical knowledge.

They knew all too well how difficult the textbooks for the theory courses were.

These things are not for children of this age to learn. The reason for adding these subjects is simply to give students a general understanding of poisons, sealing techniques, and various escape techniques, so that they won't be completely clueless when they encounter them in the future and be unable to bring back useful information.

Of course, it would be even better if a genius could be unexpectedly discovered through this.

. . .

In the basic poisons class at the Ninja Academy, eight-year-old Kirito listened intently as a teacher with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle explained how to make a healing pill that wasn't in the textbook, and he took careful notes.

Chizuru and Nawaki, who were on his left and right sides, were no longer by his side.

Because they were not interested in the course, the two of them decided to skip class and practice ninjutsu outdoors.

Many people share the same thoughts as Chizuru and Nawaki.

As a result, the classroom that should have had fifty students was now only half full, and most of them were not paying attention, either daydreaming or sleeping.

The teacher turned a blind eye to this. As long as no one disrupted his class, he let them do as they pleased and then imparted his knowledge to the students who chose to listen attentively with the utmost enthusiasm.

Time always seems to fly by when you pay attention in class.

Just as Kirito was engrossed in listening, the bell rang, and the teacher promptly stopped lecturing and announced the end of get out of class.

The students in the class immediately ran out of the classroom with great joy and went outside to play.

Taking advantage of the teacher's presence during class, Kirito quickly approached him, placed a small medicine bottle in front of him, and looked at him expectantly, saying, "Teacher Zhu Yun, these are some hemostatic pills I made yesterday. Could you check their quality?"

Nara Suzaku's father, Nara Shikaku's cousin, a Konoha Chunin, and currently a teacher at the Ninja Academy teaching basic poisons. He is a medical ninja who is proficient in pharmacology and medicine making.

"A hemostatic pill? You actually made one, kid."

Nara Zhuyun was surprised to hear this, then took the medicine bottle, poured out a small pill, and examined it carefully.

As the name suggests, a hemostatic pill is a pill that can quickly stop bleeding from a wound and also has a certain function of accelerating hematopoiesis.

This type of pill does not exist in basic toxicology.

Kirito was able to make it entirely because Nara Shuun secretly gave him extra lessons.

In the past two years, he has demonstrated outstanding learning ability in theoretical classes and has become one of the top students in the class, gaining the favor of the teachers.

In his previous life, he was a medical student, so he was very interested in medical ninjutsu. After learning that Nara Shuyun was a medical ninja, he decided to pester him under the pretext of asking him for knowledge from books, and often brought small gifts to ask for his advice.

Through these interactions, he successfully became acquainted with Nara Zhuyun.

Although he has not yet been able to successfully learn medical ninjutsu from the other party, he has unexpectedly learned a lot of knowledge about pharmacology and pharmaceuticals. Combined with his self-taught medical knowledge, his medical skills have been steadily improving.

Judging from its color and smell, Nara Akane thought that the hemostatic pills made by Kirito were quite good. However, the efficacy of the pills could not be judged by their appearance. He took out a small knife, scraped some powder off the pills, and then put them in his mouth to taste them carefully.

"While it's not perfect, it's acceptable."

Nara Akane quickly made a judgment and gave Kirito an approving smile.

"Really, Teacher Zhu Yun?"

Kirito was overjoyed to receive the teacher's approval.

"Hmm~, but you must keep working hard and not be complacent."

Nara Zhuyun nodded.

"Yes, Professor Zhu Yun, I will definitely continue to improve my pharmacological knowledge and pharmaceutical skills."

Kirito immediately answered seriously.

This is true; pharmacological knowledge and pharmaceutical technology are indeed very useful, for example, they can play a significant role in making money.

In times of war, the importance of medicine is self-evident.

Thanks to the restaurant run by Pharmacist Nonou, the orphanage is currently doing alright financially, but this amount is far from enough to support the training of several or even more ninjas in the future.

Moreover, Kirito wants to conduct scientific research, master core technologies like Orochimaru, and thus accelerate his own growth in strength.

And to do all this, money is essential.

"Kirito, have you ever considered joining the medical program?"

Upon seeing this, Nara Zhuyun thought for a moment and then asked.

How could he not know that Kirito wanted to learn medical ninjutsu from him?

However, considering that Kirito is now Mito-sama's disciple, currently learning sealing techniques from Mito-sama and has already shown remarkable talent, and has even joined the sealing team, he refrained from teaching Kirito medical ninjutsu.

After all, a person's energy is limited.

However, Kirito's medical ninja talent was simply too tempting for him.

Kirito is so young, yet he can already make and prepare a hemostatic pill with a difficulty level of C on his own. If he continues to be trained, he will definitely become an important pillar of the medical class in the future.

The abilities of medical ninjas are not only reflected in medical ninjutsu, but also in the production and research of medicines, and these two aspects are very important.

Medical ninjas have limited chakra, so their healing abilities are naturally limited as well.

However, as long as there are enough medicinal materials, medicine can be mass-produced and used in conjunction with medical ninjutsu to cure more people.

Furthermore, Kirito once demonstrated exceptional chakra manipulation skills, easily healing an injured fish. He has no problem mastering advanced medical ninjutsu like Healing Palm Technique, and could definitely become an outstanding medical ninja. He might even become a powerful medical ninja like Tsunade.

Konoha's medical team is currently lacking a talented junior like Kirito.

It's tough for a new author to get ahead, so I hope all my fellow readers will visit often to increase the readership. After you finish reading, I hope you'll vote for this book and invest in it. If you could give me some monthly tickets and rewards, I would be extremely grateful. It's so hard for a new author and a new book.
