**Chapter 103: Contact with the Uchiha Kagami**

Three days passed since Morishita arranged the meeting. One evening, as Reiki was heading home from escorting Kurenai Yuhi, Morishita appeared behind him.

"Reiki, come with me," Morishita said softly.

Reiki gave a nod and followed Morishita away from Konoha's main road, heading toward a remote cabin by a creek. 

Once they arrived, Morishita gestured toward the door. "Go in. The teacher's waiting inside. I'll be outside if you need anything." He melted into the shadows, ready to provide silent protection.

Reiki took a deep breath, opened the cabin door, and entered. Inside, Uchiha Kagami greeted him with a gentle smile. 

"Are you the little Tsunade's disciple?" Kagami's voice held a note of nostalgia, as though the presence of the young medical ninja took him back to another era.

"Yes, Lord Kagami," Reiki said respectfully, slightly humbled by the presence of the Uchiha elder who had once served as Senju Tobirama's guard. Reiki was conscious of the weight and wisdom that seemed to radiate from the man before him. "I'm here to offer my help."

"Help, hm?" Kagami observed Reiki carefully, an amused yet knowing smile on his lips. "You seek to help me, yet you come with more in mind than simple treatment. Tell me, what is your real reason for this?"

Reiki's thoughts raced. He hadn't expected Kagami's insight to be so immediate or so incisive. Gathering his resolve, he met Kagami's gaze with unwavering sincerity. "Lord Kagami, you're right. I do have another purpose, but I can't explain fully until I understand your condition. My findings here will determine the steps I take next."

"Fair enough," Kagami nodded, reassured by Reiki's honesty. "How do you want to proceed?"

"Just relax, Lord Kagami. I'll handle the rest," Reiki replied, gently placing his hand on Kagami's arm and activating his medical technique, *Holy Hands*.

Through this, Kagami's physical condition appeared before him: damaged meridians, deteriorated chakra channels, and signs of extensive wear. Reiki's brows knitted together as he pieced together the unique effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan on Uchiha Kagami's body.

After a moment, he steadied his breath and activated his *Blue Hand*, probing gently into Kagami's soul. His first sensation was of a barrier — an age-old, unyielding seal embedded in the soul. He had to work around it carefully, but what he found below only added to his shock: remnants of deep-seated injury, as though the sharingan's influence was etched into the very core of Kagami's being.

When he finally released the technique, Reiki's energy was nearly depleted, and he was visibly fatigued. Even his spirit felt drained from the probing.

"Lord Kagami," Reiki said between breaths, "I have a good understanding of your condition now. There's significant physical deterioration, specifically in the meridians, eyes, and… traces of damage deep within the soul."

Kagami watched Reiki, stunned by the accuracy of his diagnosis. Only a handful of people knew about the full extent of his ailments, and even fewer understood the source. Yet Reiki had identified the exact nature of his ailments after a single examination. 

Seeing Kagami's amazement, Reiki added, "I can provide some relief for the damage in your meridians and perhaps help manage the effects of your Sharingan. This is a complex problem, but I believe there's a solution."

Kagami chuckled softly, trying to mask his astonishment. "Young as you are, you seem to know a lot about Uchiha matters."

Without further words, Reiki extended his hands and activated his healing jutsu, focusing on Kagami's meridians. A soothing, warm energy began to circulate through Kagami's body. The gentle yet powerful energy reached the torn and strained chakra channels, mending parts that had long been strained by overuse and injury. As Reiki finished, Kagami felt relief he hadn't experienced in years.

"My chakra is exhausted," Reiki admitted, taking a moment to catch his breath. "This was only a start. For more treatment, I'll need time to rest and recuperate."

Kagami, who had initially been skeptical, now felt his skepticism melting away. The difference was undeniable. "You've done well, Reiki. Far beyond what I expected," he said warmly. "Rest assured, your efforts are appreciated."

With that assurance, Kagami's impression of Reiki deepened. He realized that perhaps this boy truly sought to help without hidden motives, bringing hope and healing to those in need.
