Natsuo could feel Uchiha Toki's attention on him, but he ignored it and focused on his current task.
Medical Ninjutsu was a skill he obviously couldn't practice on himself or risk getting hurt without someone nearby to help him.
In that way, he suppressed his desire to practice medical Ninjutsu and waited until now.
Natsuo made the hand seals and his chakra circulated through his chakra pathways before transforming into Yang chakra.
With his hand enveloped in green chakra, he touched the mouse's wound in front of him and felt the wound through his chakra.
Uchiha Toki had warned them to use only a small amount of chakra, and after a month of teaching, they all learned to use only a minuscule amount of Yang chakra for these cases.
Being spiritually connected to his chakra, Natsuo had a small sense of what was happening in the wound and knew where his chakra should go.
Of course, it wasn't vision on the level of the Byakugan or Sharingan, but it was enough to know how to do his job.
In Natsuo's mind, he could see how his chakra stimulated the cells of the mice and they began to divide.
With a smile on his face, Natsuo could see the wound close in a short time.
When the wound closed, Natsuo stopped administering Yang chakra.
Suddenly, Natsuo noticed something. He could still feel his chakra where the mouse wound was, and his 'sight' could see that the cells kept multiplying.
Acting quickly, Natsuo connected with his chakra into the mouse's body and absorbed it back into his own.
Examining the wound, Natsuo breathed a sigh of relief when he found only a slightly large scar. If he hadn't stopped, that scar could have grown to the size of a grape.
Looking up, he saw the performance of the other students.
Like him, 6 other girls were successful in their attempt and closed the wound perfectly.
The other girls and the other male student did not complete the task.
While a few of them did not close the wound completely, the others made the wound open wider and blood began to escape.
Uchiha Toki was attentive at all times and approached the students who failed their assignment.
And with a touch of his hand, he closed the unclosed wounds and stopped the bleeding of the bleeding mice.
"They did well"
"Now you just have to repeat the exercise and you'll gain more experience."
Uchiha Toki supervised the class for an hour and at the end of the class, all the students were able to close the wound.
The teacher said that in the next classes, they would practice making larger wounds.
After a few more words, the class ended and the students left the room.

Time passed and the end of the medical ninja training class period at the Uchiha hospital arrived.
At the same time, classes at the academy ended and the first-year students returned home until the following year.
"But sister, the academy is so easy!"
"Now I can become a ninja!"
In the distance, Natsuo could hear Nawaki talking to his older sister.
This wasn't the first time Natsuo had seen Tsunade, and he had to admit that each time she was a sight to behold.
Tsunade was a beautiful blonde with a very developed body.
Although she wasn't tall, her Jonin uniform hugged her body tightly and stretched out at her chest and waist.
Turning his head away, Natsuo shook his head as he calmed his underdeveloped body.
Although he was only 6 years old, the training and breathing method made Natsuo's body develop faster than other children.
Along with the chakra that powered his body every day, Natsuo was already feeling the effects of early puberty. Staring at Tsunade's back wasn't helping to calm his body, so he changed the direction of his gaze and retreated toward the orphanage.
His training was calling him, and the women would only make him 'slow down when drawing his sword'.
Laughing at his last comment in his mind, Natsuo increased the speed of his legs.

"But sister, the academy is so easy!"
"Now I can become a ninja!"
"No!" Tsunade said decisively in response to her brother's shouts.
"But sister, if I stay at the academy I won't be able to become Hokage!" Nawaki protested, and Tsunade cursed those old fogies of her clan who filled her younger brother's head with dreams of being Hokage.
Of course, Tsunade saw nothing wrong with her younger brother's dreams and would support him, but it was very different when that dream was fueled by pathetic old men who put their hopes in a child.
Tsunade hoped that her younger brother would become powerful in the future, but this was not the time for her younger brother to leave the safety of the academy.
"If you keep insisting, I'll tell Grandma to take away your monthly allowance."
Tsunade said calmly, and her younger brother closed his mouth.
Nawaki wanted to be Hokage, but she also really liked sweets, so she didn't want her grandmother to take away the money she received every month.
Of course, Nawaki could ask the Senju clan elders for money, who were very supportive of him, but they didn't want to mess with his grandmother either, so Nawaki had nowhere else to look for money to buy his sweets.
Knowing she had lost the argument, Nawaki lowered her head and followed behind her sister toward the Senju clan compound.
Seeing her brother lower his head and silently follow her, Tsunade smiled.
!!!
Suddenly, Tsunade felt a gaze on her back and turned around to see a child walking away from the place.
Looking at the boy's back, Tsunade could see the symbol of the Uchiha clan.
Upon seeing the symbol of the Uchiha clan and recognizing the figure of the child, Tsunade looked at her brother again and asked.
"Do you know that Uchiha boy?" Tsunade asked, pointing at the boy walking away.
Nawaki looked in the direction his sister was pointing and answered.
"Yes, it's Natsuo"
"What do you think of him?" Tsunade asked again, much to her younger brother's confusion.
"I don't know him very well," Nawaki said, shrugging his shoulders.
Nawaki had no close relationship with Natsuo.
At first he thought the boy could be a rival for him, but that thought quickly disappeared when Natsuo made no progress since that first battle.
Although Nawaki had some prejudices against the Uchiha after spending a lot of time training with the elders of the Senju clan, Natsuo didn't seem like the other Uchiha in his class, so Nawaki never fought with him.
Nawaki was disappointed when Natsuo wasn't progressing as well as him, and then he learned that Natsuo was receiving training as a medical ninja. Nawaki thought it was a waste to train as a medical ninja instead of something cool like Ninjutsu, but he wasn't going to say that out loud since his sister could hear him and he'd get beaten up.
"Because?"
"Did it bother you?" Nawaki asked, narrowing her eyes.
Although she didn't hold a grudge against Natsuo, that would change if he had upset her sister.
"No"
"It's about another unimportant matter," Tsunade said, remembering what her master had asked of her.
The Third Hokage had trained her and her team since they were young, but as he was busy with his current job, they had been training on their own in recent years.
While she spent her time in the hospital, she learned that Orochimaru had joined ANBU while Jiraiya was training in the Land of Toads.
A few months ago, when he visited his master at the Hokage Tower, Hiruzen suggested he take a disciple.
Uchiha Natsuo
Tsunade read the report her master gave her about the child, and Tsunade didn't see what caught her master's attention about the Uchiha child.
According to what was known, the boy was receiving training as a medical ninja at the Uchiha clan hospital and showed some promise.
Although he showed talent in medical Ninjutsu at an early age, the boy was already receiving medical training and she had nothing to do with it.
Tsunade asked him why specifically he had to take that child as a disciple, and her master told her that it would bring the Uchiha clan closer to the village.
Tsunade understood the point and said she would think about the matter.
After all, the boy hadn't even graduated from the academy, and the Uchiha clan might not agree to her taking a child from their clan as a disciple.
After all, she was a Senju.
Hiruzen told her not to worry and that he would make sure the Uchiha clan accepted it.
"Come on, I'll buy you some sweet rice balls," Tsunade said, and Nawaki cheered up.
