But with the entry panel and his own talent, Raizen could now safely train these areas.
If not for the eyelids being too thin..risking current leakage that could paralyze the eyeballs...he would have trained them too.
The eye muscles are the fastest-moving in the body. A blink takes only 100 to 150 milliseconds.
If someone attacked his eyes, he could defend with his eyelids alone.
After all… the Sharingan's evolution doesn't strengthen the eyeballs themselves.
Even an Ōtsutsuki like Momoshiki could have his Rinnegan pierced.
"Soon…"
Raizen murmured.
Ocular power was the fastest way to grow stronger. It synchronized his physical body with the power of his heart, increasing chakra reserves, control, and overall ability.
This allowed him to acquire more entries, which in turn accelerated his growth in a virtuous cycle.
And the fastest way to strengthen ocular power was to "taste beautiful things."
Last time, Nohara Rin's influence had awakened his right Sharingan.
So this time…
…
As night fell, Raizen headed toward Naka Shrine.
The shrine stood behind the densely packed Uchiha residences. Its vermilion gate gleamed mottled under the moonlight, the wood already faded.
Clan members gradually gathered there.
To outsiders, it was merely a place of worship for the Uchiha.
In reality, it held secrets beneath.
By the time Raizen arrived, most had already gathered.
Some clan members stared at him, having guessed he had become a shinobi.
Raizen followed them into a hidden passage. At the end was a spacious underground chamber floored with tatami mats.
If any other medical staff saw Yakushi Nonou speaking to Raizen in such a gentle, coaxing tone, they would be utterly stunned.
Nonou appeared mild and good-natured, but in reality, she was ruthless and uncompromising...almost like the cold, emotionless shinobi of the ANBU.
She then led Raizen to a testing area and began the evaluation.
Raizen followed without hesitation. After a series of tests, Nonou finally confirmed that he possessed Yang Release affinity.
"Then from now on, you'll train under me in medical ninjutsu."
Nonou said.
Since she had already made him a promise, she intended to keep it.
Besides, before she left, it wouldn't hurt to take on a pure, untainted child.
In Nonou's eyes, every child was a blank sheet of paper, untouched by the world's filth.
Having worked for Root for so long and carried out countless missions, she had witnessed far too much darkness.
She also knew how the Uchiha were suppressed and marginalized in Konoha.
Especially her superior..
..Root's leader, Danzō Shimura...whose hatred for the Uchiha had reached the level of outright discrimination.
He constantly muttered Tobirama-sensei's old criticisms of the clan.
Many children like Raizen, simply because they bore the Uchiha name, were burdened from birth with a kind of original sin.
But Nonou couldn't change that, nor could she interfere.
All she could do was leave Konoha and spend her remaining years running an orphanage in the outside world.
"Understood, Teacher Nonou."
Raizen immediately addressed her as teacher.
He then looked up at her expectantly.
At this moment, Nonou wore a white lab coat, her chest rising prominently beneath it.
Compared to the black nun's habit from the original story, she now looked more like a compassionate physician who healed the world.
Nonou shook her head with a soft laugh.
"Don't worry. I'll teach you medical ninjutsu. We'll start with a D-rank one."
She led Raizen to her office and rummaged through the shelves.
Soon, she pulled out a pale white scroll and handed it to him.
"This is the Palm Healing Technique. It can mend small cuts and abrasions on the skin."
Raizen opened it and saw a considerable amount of text inside.
"When performing medical ninjutsu, precise chakra control is essential. You also need strong sustained chakra output.
It's a skill that requires hard work and dedication."
"Yes, Teacher Nonou. I'll study hard and repay you in the future."
Raizen's words made Nonou smile.
A newly minted genin talking about repaying her.
As expected of someone from the Land of Lightning.....there was a certain rustic sincerity to him.
Of course, if an adult had said the same thing, Nonou would have found it greasy.
"It's good that you have that mindset."
Nonou then brought over a transparent glass cup and poured coffee and milk into it, stirring until the mixture turned a muddy brown.
"If you want to become a medical ninja, this is your first lesson: use chakra to separate the two liquids."
Children's interest came quickly and faded just as fast.
She wanted to test how much interest and talent Raizen truly had.
Raizen placed both hands on the glass, gathered chakra, and channeled it through the meridians in his palms, attempting to reach through the glass and manipulate the mixture inside.
Watching his serious expression, Nonou reminded him
"Although both are liquids, coffee and milk have different densities, so they can be separated.
This is the absolute foundation of medical ninjutsu and the core principle behind the Detoxification Technique.
If you can't master this step, becoming a medical ninja will be very difficult."
