Chapter 8 Rin Nohara: No, Obito, you don't understand.
The time for free practice passed quickly.
The Chunin instructor clapped his hands, signaling everyone to stop.
"Alright, now we'll take turns testing each person, one by one. Each person will have five shuriken and five kunai, for a total of ten throws."
"Hit the bullseye and you get two points, hit the body of the target and you get one point, miss the target and you get zero points."
He pointed to the row of brand-new wooden targets by the edge of the playground.
"A perfect score is 20 points."
The first one to be called was Kakashi.
Kakashi quickly took out five shuriken from the ninja tool pouch he had been given.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss!
Five shuriken flew out almost simultaneously, the sound of them piercing the bullseye ringing out in succession.
Before anyone could react, Kakashi pulled out a kunai with his left hand.
Five more muffled thuds followed.
All the ninja tools hit the bullseye.
"Full marks."
The Chunin instructor wrote down the scores on the record board, a satisfied look on his face.
White Fang's son is really strong.
Thinking of Sakumo Hatake's heroic figure, the Chunin instructor felt that whatever achievements Kakashi made were perfectly normal.
"Well done, Kakashi."
Kakashi simply nodded slightly and stepped aside.
"Next."
The Chunin instructor was about to call out the next name.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Obito eagerly raised his hand, almost jumping up.
He's most enthusiastic about things that give him a chance to show off.
The Chunin instructor nodded, signaling him to come forward.
Obito straightened his chest and glanced deliberately in Rin's direction, only to find that Rin was turned to the side, seemingly talking to Kiyoha.
His heart skipped a beat, but before he could think any further, the test had already begun.
Obito took a deep breath and drew five shuriken.
The first shot hit the bullseye.
it is good!
Obito was overjoyed and quickened his pace.
Unfortunately, he missed the target in the next four attempts.
Sweat began to bead on Obito's forehead.
The subsequent kunai throws were no better; only two of the five kunai hit the target, while the other three missed.
The Chunin instructor glanced at the target.
It hit the bullseye once and the target body twice.
He wrote a score on the record board.
"Four points, well done, Obito-kun, you've improved since yesterday."
Obito paused for a moment, then scratched the back of his head and chuckled foolishly.
"Of course! I'm from the Uchiha clan!"
He turned around triumphantly, ready to receive the admiring gaze of Nohara Rin.
Then he saw Lin standing sideways, earnestly talking to Qingyu.
She didn't even look at him.
Obito's smile froze on his face.
In that instant, he felt as if his most cherished possession had been secretly taken away, and all he saw was desolation.
……
In fact, Rin Nohara did not notice Obito's brilliant performance.
She was talking to Qingyu.
"Kiyoyu-kun, are you interested in medical ninjutsu?"
Hearing this question, Qingyu was somewhat surprised and turned her head to look at her.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because Lady Tsunade is very famous."
Nohara Rin blinked, her tone filled with longing.
"She is Konoha's top medical ninja. Since Kiyoyu lives with Lady Tsunade, she must have been influenced by her to some extent."
Qingyu stroked her chin, not answering immediately.
Top-notch, absolutely top-notch.
That's probably how outsiders see Tsunade.
However, in terms of what one learns through constant exposure...
Qingyu didn't picture Tsunade miraculously healing him at his bedside; instead, he pictured Tsunade sprawled on the sofa with her legs crossed, gambling tickets and empty bottles scattered on the coffee table, and occasionally directing his and Shizune's daily routine.
If we're talking about what he learned through constant exposure, he probably learned most about gambling.
In fact, Qingyu's gambling skills are indeed quite good.
Perhaps seeing Tsunade's dismal performance at the casino served as a cautionary tale, or perhaps luck was on his side; in any case, he picked it up quickly and even won quite a bit once while fighting for Tsunade.
Of course, he didn't intend to tell Nohara Rin about this.
But another thought popped into his mind.
Although Nohara Rin appears to be a commoner ninja, she possesses a remarkably formidable medical talent.
In the original storyline, she had no bloodline limit or any family-inherited ninjutsu scrolls. She only relied on the basic education at the Ninja Academy and the training at Konoha Hospital to eventually master the A-rank medical ninjutsu "Healing Palm Technique".
How valuable is this?
In contrast, Sakura Haruno studied under Tsunade for three whole years before she learned the "Healing Palm Technique".
Sakura herself was already described by Tsunade as a ninja with "extremely outstanding chakra control talent".
Nohara Rin's medical talent is only strong, not weak.
If Kakashi is an all-around talented player, then Rin Nohara is definitely a specialized talented player in the medical field.
The term "talented player" might fall from one of the two.
As for the others...
Qingyu glanced at them and saw that people like Uchiha Tetsuka, Hyuga Natsu, and Hyuga Tetsu were not bad, but they were still not quite at the level of a truly talented player.
Thinking of this, Qingyu spoke up.
"Actually, I am very interested in medical ninjutsu."
Qingyu spoke very sincerely.
Because he was genuinely interested.
This thing is a life-saving skill; it can even heal you in times of crisis.
In high-level matches, the ability to recover from injuries is almost essential for everyone.
Nohara Rin's eyes lit up.
"Because every war kills many ninjas, if I could, I would like to save those wounded on the battlefield. That is my dream."
Qingyu spoke.
These words were actually Nohara Rin's dream in "The Book of Battles," but they were spoken by him.
Hearing Qingyu's words, Nohara Rin felt as if she had found a like-minded person.
Even Qingyu's handsome face seemed even more handsome to her.
Because among all the people she knew, she was the only one who thought this way.
Neither Kakashi nor Obito showed any interest in this, leaving Rin Nohara unsure of who to talk to about it.
Now it seems that Qingyu thought the same way.
In an instant, I felt a sense of loneliness being swept away.
"So, Kiyoyu-kun, have you already learned medical ninjutsu?"
"meeting."
Qingyu nodded.
"That's amazing."
Nohara Rin gasped softly in surprise.
It's important to know that medical ninjutsu is much more difficult than regular ninjutsu.
"If Lin is interested, we can exchange ideas."
Qingyu said.
The best way to get close to someone is to start with your shared interests.
Spending more time with Rin Nohara and helping her learn more knowledge in advance will increase the chance of her dropping the talent-type player trait.
"That's great, Qingyu."
Nohara Rin nodded.
"Next, Qingyu."
The Chunin instructor's voice interrupted Nohara Rin's words.
Qingyu stood up, nodded slightly to her, and then walked towards the testing area.
Obito stood to the side, watching Qingyu walk past him, and the sour feeling in his heart intensified.
"Lin, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
Obito said.
Although he didn't know what Rin and Qingyu were talking about, Obito was still confident. At worst, he could just go back and study more.
Backed by a powerful clan like the Uchiha, Obito actually had a lot of resources.
"No, Obito, you don't understand."
Nohara Rin shook her head.
Obito's expression froze.
