Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Talent First Appears

"Alright, your wound has been successfully bandaged. Now, change the dressing every other day, and you can remove the stitches in half a month."

Hyuga Mirai said, quite satisfied with his recent work. The ninja who had initially doubted him now sincerely thanked Hyuga Mirai.

"Thank you, young man. I was short-sighted earlier, and I apologize."

Hyuga Mirai waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing. Please go pay the fee." He was just a stranger with whom he had skillfully performed a suturing operation. Hyuga Mirai naturally wouldn't get angry over a small verbal dispute, or perhaps he didn't even hear it.

"Well done."

After the injured person left, a compliment came from behind Hyuga Mirai. He turned around and found Dr. Nakano standing behind him.

"The surgery was very skillful. Although it was just a small suturing operation, Mirai-kun, your proficiency is already comparable to some Medical Ninja."

Although Dr. Nakano arrived midway, he still saw the latter part of the surgery.

The proficiency in suturing, applying medicine, and bandaging was seamless. If he hadn't known that Hyuga Mirai had only interned at Konoha Hospital for a few months, Dr. Nakano would have thought he was a Medical Ninja who had been a doctor for several years.

If he remembered correctly, this seemed to be Hyuga Mirai's eighth suturing operation.

As expected of a genius, in such a short time, after only a few suturing operations, he had already reached the level of treating injuries independently.

Such a talent was born to be a Medical Ninja.

"You flatter me, Dr. Nakano." Hyuga Mirai said with an embarrassed smile, "Thanks to Dr. Nakano's guidance, my progress has been so rapid."

"That's not flattery. Everyone else envies me to death when they hear about your progress."

Dr. Nakano chuckled. There was no exaggeration in that statement; Hyuga Mirai's current level of treating external injuries was already a very competent aid, and he was diligent, handling things meticulously. At Konoha Hospital, he could save Dr. Nakano a lot of time.

Although the Healing Technique and Mystical Palm Technique in Medical Ninjutsu can quickly heal wounds, they consume too much Chakra. Generally, Medical Ninja rarely use Chakra outside of wartime and emergencies.

Moreover, the cost of using Chakra and not using Chakra is completely different. Many Chunin and Genin will actively choose not to use Chakra to heal injuries, otherwise, the medical expenses would be very difficult for them to bear.

Ever since Hyuga Mirai demonstrated his extraordinary talent in medical knowledge, Dr. Nakano slowly began to assign some minor surgeries to Hyuga Mirai.

This way, Dr. Nakano could free up a lot of time. Other doctors were envious after learning about Hyuga Mirai, and some even privately approached Dr. Nakano, wanting to take Hyuga Mirai as an assistant.

This proposal was naturally rejected by Dr. Nakano with righteous indignation. Hyuga Mirai had great talent as a Medical Ninja, and he was also his intern assistant. Once he learned Medical Ninjutsu, he could help him handle many patients and surgeries, which would lead to more free time and bonuses for him.

Dr. Nakano would be crazy to push such a talented assistant as Hyuga Mirai to others.

Dr. Nakano patted Hyuga Mirai's shoulder and smiled, "Mirai-kun, you still have Ninja School this afternoon, so I'll treat you to lunch."

"Really? Thank you very much, Dr. Nakano."

Hyuga Mirai said happily, then checked the time. It was almost noon, so he tidied up the operating room and then followed Dr. Nakano directly to the sushi restaurant.

During the meal, Dr. Nakano was unsparing in his praise for Hyuga Mirai, believing that his basic knowledge was very solid, and he also revealed good news to Hyuga Mirai.

Tomorrow, Dr. Nakano was going to teach Hyuga Mirai Medical Ninjutsu.

After hearing this news, Hyuga Mirai happily ate thirty plates of sushi, and his lips were slightly upturned when he returned to Ninja School in the afternoon.

Hyuga Mirai did not hide his talent in Medical Ninjutsu at all. After the Taijutsu and Ninjutsu classes ended, he brought up the matter with Hyuga Kiyomi on the way back.

If the Main Family knew about his talent in Medical Ninjutsu, there was more than a 50% chance they would invest more in him; for example, high-level Medical Ninjutsu or money.

Regardless of which, Hyuga Mirai would accept it without hesitation.

Dr. Nakano was only a Medical Chunin, and he certainly didn't know many Medical Ninjutsu. Although the Hyuga Clan could arrange for a six-year-old student to intern at Konoha Hospital, they couldn't arrange a Medical Jonin for Hyuga Mirai.

However, once Hyuga Mirai's talent became known, the Hyuga Main Family might increase their investment, especially since Hyuga Mirai was still Hyuga Kiyomi's guard.

Early the next morning, as soon as Hyuga Mirai stepped out, he saw Hyuga Sosuke waiting for him outside the door.

Did this guy come so early because of his medical talent?

"Sosuke-sama?"

"You are very good. The Fourth Elder already knows about your matter."

Hyuga Sosuke looked at Hyuga Mirai with focused eyes, nodded to him, and said,

"In the Hyuga Clan, as long as there is talent, it will be cultivated well. Hyuga Mirai, after the Fourth Elder learned about your situation, he decided to increase your monthly allowance by ten thousand ryo, so you can save time from hunting and fishing in the wild."

"Really? Thank you, Sosuke-sama."

Hyuga Mirai pretended to be very happy, but in his heart, he was quite dismissive.

The monthly allowance was not even as much as the reward for a C-rank mission, and it came with a condescending attitude. This was not investing in the younger generation of the clan at all, but rather the Main Family treating the Branch Family members like dogs with a high and mighty attitude.

'This bone is given by me, and you must happily lick it. If you dare to show any dissatisfaction, then die!'

They just casually threw a bone and expected the Branch Family members to die for them; if they were unwilling to die, then they would truly die.

Hyuga Mirai could feel the Main Family's attitude from Hyuga Sosuke. Because of the Caged Bird Curse Seal, no matter how strong your talent, even if you had the talent of a Sannin, as long as you were from the Branch Family, you had to serve the Main Family.

"Don't thank me, these are all benefits given to you by the Main Family."

Hyuga Sosuke said with a solemn expression,

"Make good use of your talent, Hyuga Mirai. Work hard to cultivate and contribute more to the Main Family in the future. This is the mission of our Branch Family's existence, and also the meaning of the Branch Family."

Look, when it comes to dog training, the Inuzuka Clan is just for fun. The true essence of dog training must be seen in the Hyuga Clan.

The Inuzuka Clan trains dogs well, while the Hyuga Clan trains people into dogs!

"I understand, Sosuke-sama. I will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future and repay the Main Family well."

Hyuga Mirai said loudly, then a gentle smile appeared on his face.

No matter how strong the chains were, he would find a way to break free!
