However, this didn't bother Nawaki. With his naturally strong heart, he wasn't affected by this. He continued doing what he was doing, chatting about various topics, and asking questions whenever he suddenly remembered something he didn't understand. Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't know where Nawaki got so many topics, as if he had no end in sight, but he still responded to each one.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't get too cocky and still took out some medical ninjutsu materials to look at. This made Nawaki, who was standing nearby, extremely envious. "I also want that ability to multitask," he thought.

Unfortunately, Nawaki, who was filled with envy, had no idea that this was not about multitasking, but simply that his various questions were easy to "fool".

Today, Naoki Uemura will continue explaining the extraction of chakra.

Since the start of the semester, almost two months have passed. The five students in the class who hadn't yet refined their chakra have successfully sensed spiritual energy and are only one step away from success. Perhaps with a bit of luck, they can succeed tomorrow.

As always, Kiyoshi Uchiha didn't listen to Naoki Uemura's lessons.

Isn't a comprehensive guide to basic medical knowledge in hand much better?

Naoki Uemura was helpless in this situation. Although he had the Third Hokage's instructions, Kiyoshi Uchiha had truly mastered everything. Four years of studying hadn't been for nothing; Kiyoshi had actually learned everything taught at the Ninja Academy, except for practical skills like ninja infiltration.

A test was conducted a few days ago. Although Uchiha Kiyoshi was not first and did not get a perfect score, he was still close to a perfect score.

Let's see which questions he got wrong.

"Faced with an enemy attack (given various conditions, be able to calculate how to attack the opponent before you are attacked), how should you respond?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi gave the answer, "We don't know if the enemy has any traps, so let's defend first," which left Uemura Naoki dumbfounded. "It makes perfect sense to me. Why are you being so cautious?" He simply wanted him to calculate who could attack the other first. All I can say is, classmate, you're overthinking it.

......

Naoki Uemura also felt that he might not be able to complete the task assigned to him by the Third Hokage. After reporting Uchiha Kiyoshi's situation yesterday, the Third Hokage did not ask him to do anything further.

Naoki Uemura breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that it would be difficult to change Kiyoshi Uchiha's mindset. If the Third Hokage still wanted him to correct Kiyoshi Uchiha, then he would really be in a difficult position.

In fact, the Third Hokage had other ideas, which is why he did not continue to insist that Uemura Naoki guide the other party.

This personality trait has been formed since the age of two, and it is already quite capable of being changed, so it's best not to waste too much energy on it.

Moreover, his three disciples had just met Uchiha Kiyoshi, and Orochimaru even expressed interest in him, seemingly intending to become Kiyoshi's Jonin leader after graduation.

The Third Hokage knew his disciple Orochimaru very well. Perhaps Uchiha Kiyoshi's situation was similar to his own, which is why he became interested. Moreover, Uchiha Kiyoshi was quite talented. Even with this flaw, it might not be a bad thing.

With his "excellent defensive awareness," Uchiha Kiyoshi might become a dedicated "tank" for the team in the future. Furthermore, Uchiha Kiyoshi also has the potential to master medical ninjutsu, making his overall support abilities quite impressive.

Furthermore, ninjas specializing in defense have this greatest advantage: while they may not be able to kill enemies far stronger than themselves or defeat multiple opponents single-handedly, they can certainly stall for time, and do so quite reliably. In the future, if the team encounters enemies beyond their capabilities, Uchiha Kiyoshi might be able to hold off a large number of enemies single-handedly, providing opportunities for his teammates to eliminate a few and slowly wear down the enemy.

Uchiha Kiyoshi seems to have the potential to specialize in this area, so the Third Hokage can only give it a try.

At noon, while Uchiha Kiyoshi was eating his bento, Nawaki was talking non-stop.

"Um, Qing, what's your opinion on bloodline limits?"

"Ok?"

Hearing Nawaki's question, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also surprised. Was this a question that Nawaki would ask? It seems he has made progress recently.

Nawaki was also embarrassed by the stares. Back home, he suddenly thought of his clan's Wood Release and casually asked his sister about it, only to receive the same look. Tsunade thought for a moment, then instead of answering directly, suggested he try asking Uchiha Kiyoshi to see what he thought.

Tsunade was also testing Uchiha Kiyoshi to see what level he was at. After all, the intelligence only said that he had been studying in the archives since he was a child, but how much he had actually learned was unknown.

Uchiha Kiyoshi thought for a moment, then answered.

"Bloodline limit, hmm... in my opinion, it's a kind of escape technique that can be inherited through bloodline."

Nawaki stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Kiyoshi for a long while before stammering, "Heh, what you said makes some sense. I'm speechless."

Uchiha Kiyoshi had no choice; in his view, this was exactly how bloodline limits should be defined.

"That was just my personal understanding. The definition of a bloodline limit is also difficult to explain clearly, so I can only summarize it like this."

There are many manifestations of bloodline limits, the most common being the fusion of two of the Five Elements Release techniques into a new one, significantly more powerful than the original Five Elements Release techniques. Besides this, there are some special bloodline limits characterized by mutations in a specific part of the body, possessing different abilities, like the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Both of these can be inherited through bloodline and can be considered special Release techniques distinct from the Five Elements.

Nawaki, being a poor student, couldn't understand the other profound things Uchiha Kiyoshi was saying. He just felt that it made a lot of sense and nodded in agreement with Uchiha Kiyoshi's answer.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was both amused and exasperated by Nawaki's feigned ignorance.

He had actually thought about it carefully and roughly guessed what was going on. Perhaps someone was testing him from behind. Of course, he couldn't go into too much detail, so he could only try to be a little mysterious and then give a simple summary.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, looking at the situation in the crystal ball, the Third Hokage and his three disciples were deep in thought. They felt that although Uchiha Kiyoshi's explanation was simplistic, the conclusion was indeed quite interesting. Orochimaru, in particular, was amazed to hear Uchiha Kiyoshi consider the Sharingan as a special kind of ninjutsu. "So that's how it's hypothesized," he thought, "I've never seen this before. How interesting." As he pondered this, he licked his lips.

......

Time always flies, and before you know it, a day has passed.

Uchiha Kiyoshi packed his things and left the school.

Instead of returning home directly, Uchiha Kiyoshi headed in another direction.

Ten minutes later, on the back mountain of Konoha.

Uchiha Kiyoshi looked at the forest before him, took a deep breath, and walked in.

The Body Cultivation Technique requires a lot of nutrition, and Uchiha Kiyoshi had no money, so he could only supplement his diet by hunting. Moreover, he could also gain combat experience by fighting wild animals.

The forest behind Konoha is vast and deep. It is rich in resources, and the entire village obtains its medicinal herbs, meat, and other resources from here.

However, Uchiha Kiyoshi did not intend to go too deep. With his current strength, he was not enough to deal with the beasts in the depths. He could only wander around and try to find suitable prey.

Uchiha Kiyoshi carefully walked to the edge of the forest, then found an open space and began to set up a trap.

Within twenty minutes, Uchiha Kiyoshi had set up five traps around the area and placed the backpack in the nearby bushes.

Uchiha Kiyoshi began searching for prey around the open space.

Two hundred meters south of where Uchiha Kiyoshi set up the trap.

Uchiha Kiyoshi carefully lay down on the ground, watching a wild beast in the distance.

Ahead stood a creature resembling a bull, two meters tall and three meters long, with a single horn on its head, yellow fur all over its body, and a thick tail a full meter long—it looked powerful and robust. Uchiha Kiyoshi remembered seeing records of this kind of beast in some books about wild animals; its only weakness was its abdomen. Of course, if your attack is strong enough, you can attack it anywhere; the result will be the same no matter where you hit it.

The beasts in the ninja world are incredibly diverse, and some even differ from one another within the same group, sharing only some common characteristics. It's difficult to record all the wild beasts completely, so we can only give a general overview of one type based on these characteristics.

This is the case. Its body shape resembles that of a cow, so it is generally classified as a member of the genus Bos. Apart from its strengths and weaknesses, there is not much other information about it.

Uchiha Kiyoshi watched with excitement as the cow devoured the carcass of another wild animal resembling a rabbit. Eating meat usually meant high nutritional value. (Um, I don't really know much about this, just rambling, please don't criticize!)

He took out two kunai from the ninja tool pouch he inherited from his father, which was hanging from his waist.

"Whoosh!"

Two kunai were thrown at the same time, but there was only one sound. Uchiha Kiyoshi's kunai throwing was perfect.

Hearing the noise, the bull-like beast turned around and saw a kunai coming towards it. It roared and swung its tail, knocking the kunai away.

Unfortunately, of the two kunai, the other one struck the opponent's front leg from the other side, but it only penetrated one centimeter before it could not go any deeper.

Struck by the kunai, the bull-like beast roared in fury, swinging its legs to fling the kunai away. At that moment, it saw Uchiha Kiyoshi, and, enraged, its eyes turned red as it charged towards him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi also gasped in surprise. As expected, his skin was thick and tough; even being hit head-on by the kunai only resulted in a minor injury. He had thrown the kunai with considerable force!

Uchiha Kiyoshi quickly got up, assessed the beast's route, channeled chakra into his legs, and dodged to the side.

Having dodged the first attack, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't let his guard down. The bull-like beast opposite him, enraged at missing its target, launched a frenzied attack on Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Uchiha Kiyoshi's small frame couldn't withstand the opponent's strength, and he could only dodge continuously. Fortunately, with the enhancement of chakra, his physical fitness was quite good, and his skills were becoming more and more proficient. From the initial unfamiliarity, he gradually became more at ease and began to think.

Uchiha Kiyoshi assessed his stamina and knew that he didn't have much time left, so he started running towards the place where he had set up the trap.

Midway through, they even began to provoke the bull-like beast, engaging in various provocative behaviors.

The bull-like beast was getting frustrated because its attacks were always dodged. Seeing Uchiha Kiyoshi's provocative actions, it became even more furious and attacked even more frantically.

Just after Uchiha Kiyoshi's final provocation, the bull-like beast could no longer tolerate it, roared, and charged straight at him.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha had anticipated this and easily dodged it, activating the traps he had set up underground behind him.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dozens of senbon needles shot out from beneath the ground, hitting the beast's belly directly, with the deepest one penetrating completely.

The bull-like beast howled in pain, turning its gaze back to Uchiha Kiyoshi and continuing its attack.

Unfortunately, he was not as agile as Uchiha Kiyoshi to begin with, and was now seriously injured, so he naturally failed to hit the target even once.

Guided by Uchiha Kiyoshi, he eventually fell into the pit that Uchiha Kiyoshi had prepared in advance, and was impaled by the sharp spikes at the bottom. He was on the verge of death.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was also preparing to go down and deliver the final blow, but unfortunately, he was careless and did not expect that the opponent still had strength, and swung his tail at him.

Uchiha Kiyoshi only had time to cross his hands in front of his chest and channel his chakra into his arms.

"boom!"

Uchiha Kiyoshi was thrown a meter away and landed heavily on the ground.

"Phew! Luckily I reacted in time and I was wearing an arm guard, otherwise I would have been in real trouble."

Uchiha Kiyoshi struggled to his feet, grimacing as he checked the condition of his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Two arm guards had fallen from Uchiha Kiyoshi's arms, bearing the marks of being whipped.

Despite the protection of his arm guards, Uchiha Kiyoshi still suffered severe injuries, and his arms are still numb and weak.

"This was really close. We were careless. In the future, we must not relax until the enemy has no reaction at all, and it would be best to test the waters again."

With a wry smile, Uchiha Kiyoshi began to move his arms, hoping to relieve the pain quickly.

Unable to exert any force with his hands, Uchiha Kiyoshi dared not approach the bull-like beast again, and sat down on the edge of the pit to tend to his injuries.

Although he wasn't attacked by wild beasts, Uchiha Kiyoshi still suffered some minor injuries while dodging them, and he took the opportunity to treat them.

Half an hour later, the bull-like beast finally stopped moving, and Uchiha Kiyoshi was able to use his hands again.

First, he removed the remaining three traps around the pit, then went to the bottom of the pit and stabbed the other person a few times with a kunai. Only after confirming that the other person was completely dead did Uchiha Kiyoshi begin to approach.

First, remove the kunai from under the beast, then Uchiha Kiyoshi lifts the beast up with all his might and throws it away.

Jumping out of the pit, Uchiha Kiyoshi carried the beast's carcass and headed home.

Along the way, many people were amazed to see Uchiha Kiyoshi, a six-year-old child, carrying a wild beast that was two or three meters long. After entering the Uchiha clan's territory, several neighbors praised Uchiha Kiyoshi highly, saying that Uchiha Kiyoshi was able to kill such a large beast at such a young age, and that he had a promising future.

Back home, Uchiha Kiyoshi put down the beast's carcass but didn't deal with it immediately. Instead, he went out and ran towards Konoha Hospital.

Although he had already treated it and applied medicine, Uchiha Kiyoshi still planned to go to the hospital for a check-up. He didn't want to have any hidden injuries or anything like that. Anyway, the cost of a check-up at Konoha Hospital wouldn't be high.

At Konoha Hospital, Uchiha Kiyoshi looked at the medical ninja in front of him and asked nervously, "Doctor, do I have any hidden injuries or anything like that?"

Huizi replied with a smile, "Don't worry, your injuries are just superficial, there are no hidden injuries, and they have been treated very well. Apart from the superficial injuries, you are also very healthy, even better than your peers!"

By the way, did you treat these wounds yourself? Your technique was a bit clumsy, but overall it was still quite professional.

Uchiha Kiyoshi smiled shyly at the praise and said in a low voice, "Really? I usually study some medical knowledge, and I want to become a medical ninja in the future to save lives."

After listening, Keiko praised Uchiha Kiyoshi, even though the young man wanted to become a medical ninja, he didn't seem to care.
