"Medical-Ninjutsu?" Mishiro was startled, then smiled and refused, "It's too early for you."

Yumiko smiled and said, "It's really rare. Sōseki, who is as calm as a little adult, can also be impatient. Mishiro-senpai does not teach you Ninjutsu for your own good. Only by laying a solid foundation can you go further on Ninja’s path."

Misa also nodded, "The most important thing for you now is to hurry up and learn to refine chakra, and then strive to raise the level of your chakra control to the point where you can learn Medical Ninjutsu before graduation."

"Training chakra control?" Sōseki stretched out his right hand, and the thin threads on his fingertips fluttered, actually weaving a pattern of Konoha’s forehead protection in front of the four of them. Then, Sōseki's " asked with a little "expectation" in his "dignified" expression, "Is this okay?"

The four people on the opposite side looked like they had seen a ghost, and Yumiko muttered in a daze, "I must have not woken up yet, it must be!"

On the other hand, Kotoko tilted her head and said with a broken expression, "Haha, I still haven’t reached that level of control yet."

Mishiro was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly and asked, "Did you teach Sōseki the chakra refining method?"

The voice was very stern, obviously annoyed by the chaos caused by the three.

They are only the middle and lower levels of the Ninja World. They don't have a clear concept of when they can start refining chakra. They are also worried that their random guidance will harm Sōseki, so they choose to believe in authority and let the Academy to teach Sōseki uniformly.

Seeing this, Sōseki hurriedly said, "Mishiro-san, the chakra refining method was taught to me by the teacher at the Academy yesterday."

When Mishiro heard it, she asked in disbelief. "In other words, you learned to refine chakra in just two days?"

"Actually...it was one day."

"I used to think that I was a genius when I can refine chakra in 16 days." Misa touched her delicate chin with her fingertips, and couldn't help but look aside and asked, "Kotoko, how many days did you spend at that time?"

"I need 17 days. Yumiko’s talent should be the best among us, she only took 14 days.” Kotoko said.

"Sōseki is really amazing, maybe he will become a great person in the future!" Yumiko said excitedly after returning to her senses.

At this time, Sōseki explained, "Actually, I am not that good. It is more of Asuma’s credit."

"Asuma?"

"Well, he is the son of Sandaime-sama, Sarutobi Asuma."

"It turns out that he is the son of Sandaime-sama, then no wonder!"

"Sōseki really made a very good friend!"

After hearing that the other party is Sandaime's son, the doubts of these people instantly disappeared.

When Nidaime Hokage died in battle, Sandaime took over the Hokage's position with the appointment of Nidaime Hokage, led Konoha to win the war, and created Konoha's peak era, and he himself is known to be proficient in the five types of chakra attributes Ninjutsu, and get the title of "The Professor".

Therefore, Sandaime's reputation in the middle and lower classes of Konoha can be said to be like the sun at high noon. In the hearts of Mishiro and the others, he is almost like a god.

Even if it's just Sandaime’s son, it makes them think that doing this kind of thing was a matter of course.

Sōseki hit the iron while it was still hot, "This is also the advice given to me by Asuma. He has learned more than one Ninjutsu and thinks that people like us just wasting our talents if we follow the rules completely."

Mishiro nodded again and again, ‘Sandaime-sama's son must have been taught by Sandaime-sama himself! In other words, this is the evaluation made by Sandaime-sama!’

"Well, genius is used to break the rules!"

"Our Sōseki-kun is a real genius!"

"Oh, then we have to teach Sōseki Ninjutsu quickly! Otherwise, Sōseki will be too far behind the others!"

This is also the reason why Soseki sets himself up as a genius. In the Ninja World, people are always tolerant of geniuses.

If Sōseki was mediocre, no matter how much he begged, Mishiro will not teach him Ninjutsu, because step by step is actually the best protection for beginners.

But if they are genius, then whatever they do is understandable. It is because they don’t understand the world of geniuses, so they will regard all this a matter of course, especially when Sōseki's talent is beyond their knowledge.

Instead, they are now beginning to worry that their mastery of Ninjutsu is too small, which might drag down Sōseki's talent.

"Let’s count C-Rank Medical-Ninjutsu and below, and see which ones you have learned but I haven't mastered yet." Mishiro said with a serious expression.

"Let me talk first, in addition to the most basic healing techniques, I can also hemostasis technique, hematopoiesis technique, silencing technique, and connection therapy technique." Misa said while counting with her fingers.

"I am similar to you, mainly with the addition of a purification technique."

"I also have a tranquility technique here, which can calm people who have been attacked by Genjutsu."

In Konoha, apart from the Ninjutsu developed by the practitioner himself and clan secret Ninjutsu, only Ninjutsu below B-Rank can be taught privately.

Don’t look at the fact that B-Rank Ninjutsu has almost no sense of existence in the later stage, but in fact, B-Rank Ninjutsu is already regarded as a normal Chunin’s trump card. Even for some Tokubetsu Jōnin, B-Rank Ninjutsu is still their main means in combat.

In a sense, Ninjutsu of B-Rank and above is already a strategic resource reserve of a Ninja Village. Once leaked, it is likely to mean the weakening of its own military strength and the strengthening of the hostile Ninja Village.

Therefore, when Mishiro and the others are learning this "advanced" Ninjutsu, they have to set a seal at the same time to ensure that the village’s technique does not spread.

After they finished speaking, Kotoko said with a bitter expression, "Huh? Aren't any of us capable of using attack-type Medical Ninjutsu?"

Yumiko looked nervous, "We Medical-nin have always been bad at fighting, but Sōseki-kun is the class leader and will definitely be challenged by others in the future."

Mishiro also frowned and said, "Although my chakra scalpel can be used as an attack, it can only be effective in close combat."

Seeing these people frowned, Sōseki said quickly, "Mishiro-san, it’s already good as long as you can teach me the most basic healing techniques."

"Healing Techniques?" Mishiro frowned and said, "This is just a D-Rank Ninjutsu. It would be a waste of your talent to choose this one."

"This is not a technique chosen as a graduation gift when I graduate, so you all don't need to be too serious.” Sōseki is somewhat helpless. He seems to underestimate the impact of this news on Mishiro and the others.

Hearing this, Mishiro was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and sighed, “Just now, I said that you are not prudent enough. But now, it seems that I am the most impatient one. After listening to you, I immediately think of the graduation gift."

Sōseki smiled and said, "If you care, you will be confused. Doesn't this mean that Mishiro-san take my affairs more seriously than yourself?"

"You..." Mishiro smiled half-gently and half helplessly, "Sometimes, you’re so mature that it makes people feel distressed."

Sōseki smiled and said nothing.

Mishiro shook her head and walked towards the infirmary. "Let’s go, I’ll show you a demonstration now."

 

A/N: The graduation gift is a second design that I added. I will mention it here first, and there will be a detailed explanation later, mainly to explain why those big clans let their clan members enter the Academy to study, and why Nidaime developed so many Forbidden Techniques.
