Naruto: Chronicles of A Fire Ninja

Chapter 78: Hierarchy of hospital

"Also, they may refuse to teach you if you are untalented in this field," Hiruzen said.

"I don't have any problem with that, Grandpa. If I am untalented in this field, it will be better that I don't waste my time learning it," Kaida said.

"But remember, I will arrange only one chance for you to learn a specialization. If for any reason you are not given another chance, you will still have to wait for at least two years as a genin. Now, are you fine with selecting medical ninjutsu as your specialization?" Hiruzen asked, checking if Kaida was serious about this.

After two minutes, Kaida said, "No problem, Grandpa. I am serious about learning this, and even if I am rejected, I can focus on other things for two years, so I don't think it will be a bad deal to choose this specialization."

"Hah! Well, if you are this confident in your decision, then go to the hospital after four days. I will make sure they at least give you a chance," Hiruzen said, and then dismissed all three of them.

After the three of them left, Yukihiro looked toward Hiruzen and said, "Lord Third, are you thinking about asking the senior doctors to take Kaida as their apprentice?"

"Yes. You may not understand, but normally all Uchiha focus on Sharingan, ninjutsu, and genjutsu. No one understands how much a Sharingan can help a medical ninja. It can allow them to see things more clearly and follow small movements with the help of the Sharingan.

Also, the Sharingan will help in increasing his chakra control, which will also assist in medical ninjutsu. With his already monstrous talent and Sharingan, he could become a great medical ninja—maybe even comparable to Tsunade. But I don't want to set my expectations too high, so I will be happy if he can become a specialist within two years."

"Aren't you expecting him to become a specialist medical ninja in just two years a bit much, considering he doesn't even have basic knowledge in this field?" Yukihiro said with an awkward smile.

"Well, when you suggest that someone could be a jonin-level ninja before they reach nine years old, people will call you mad, right?" Hiruzen said with a knowing smile.

"Hah, if you put it like that, then I don't have anything to say. Now, since you've taken all my students under your care, what should I do? Do I have to go back to doing solo missions?" Yukihiro asked, thinking about his daughter.

"No need. Since you were able to bring them to such a level this early, you can take a break for two months. But after that, you'll need to continue going on missions. You know we still have a shortage of ninjas, so I can't give you a break longer than that," Hiruzen said.

"Thank you, Lord Third," Yukihiro said with a cheerful smile on his face. He was very happy to have some time with his daughter, and he also knew the condition of Konoha. Even though it was stable right now, it was nowhere near its former glory, so Yukihiro was very happy to spend some time with his family.

After that, Yukihiro also left the office and went toward his home.

Kaida decided to research the ranks in Konoha Hospital so he wouldn't be completely clueless when he got there, so he sent one shadow clone with 30% of his chakra to the Konoha library to look into it.

Normally, the books available to the general public don't have much detail, but in the section for ninjas, they do have information about the basic hierarchy of the Konoha Village Hospital.

After reading for quite some time, his clone was able to get a basic understanding of the hierarchy, which was:

**Hospital Director:** Tsunade
