Following Sōsuke's usual persona, Gensou greeted Ino and Sakura warmly as they approached.

Honestly, he had never thought he would have any interaction with Ino.

But being from the Yamanaka clan, which values "positive and forward-looking love and emotions," Ino had enthusiastically approached him after their first meeting.

After all, girls of this age often judged by appearances.

Just like the Uchiha clan, who were all handsome men, the Hagoromo clan also had many attractive members.

For example, Gensou himself, Samui, Hanare, and currently Sasuke.

Combined with Gensou's unique aura, he had received quite a few subtle hints from female colleagues and patients' female relatives during this time.

But Gensou had rejected them all.

What a joke!

Women couldn't compare to the joy of training.

"Dr. Sōsuke, let me introduce you to Sakura. She's about to become the Hokage's student," Ino said, hugging Sakura's shoulders and not forgetting to introduce her best friend.

Gensou, rarely playing someone else's role, found it quite refreshing.

Hearing Ino, he pulled out the acting skills he had honed during summer jobs and looked at Sakura with "surprise":

"The Hokage's student? That's impressive."

Sakura blushed and quickly waved her hands, "Not yet! I'm still far from meeting Tsunade-sama's requirements."

"That's why you should ask Dr. Sōsuke for advice, Sakura," Ino said, patting Sakura on the shoulder.

"Can I?" Sakura asked hesitantly.

Although Tsunade-sama had taught her some medical knowledge and given her some professional books to read, as the Hokage, she was too busy. Most of the time, when Sakura encountered problems she didn't understand, she had to figure them out on her own.

The senior medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital occasionally taught her when they had free time.

But compared to Tsunade-sama's ability to enlighten her with just a few words, their teachings were still lacking.

If there was someone as skilled as Tsunade-sama... no, even if they were a bit less skilled but still very competent, who could teach her, it would be great.

Remembering what Ino had said earlier, Sakura looked at "Sōsuke" expectantly.

"You're stuck with reviving the half-dead fish, right?" Gensou smiled lightly and asked.

Sakura nodded quickly.

"That's normal. Fish are the best experimental subjects for beginners in medical ninjutsu," Gensou said.

Although his first experimental subject for medical ninjutsu was himself.

But others were not like him; there was no comparison.

Gensou continued to explain, "The task is to bring a fish back from a half-dead state without damaging its nerves and flesh. Once you've accomplished this, you can call yourself a medical ninja. Of course, as a beginner, there are a few things to keep in mind..."

Having systematically studied the mainstream medical ninjutsu at Konoha Hospital and rapidly improved his own medical skills, Gensou found teaching quite easy.

Sakura and Ino listened intently, nodding repeatedly.

Later, as they encountered colleagues and patients who greeted them warmly, it showed "Dr. Sōsuke's" high reputation in Konoha's medical field. Gensou led Sakura and Ino to the lab to teach them hands-on.

[Ding!]

[Side Mission: Childhood Sweetheart (Completed)]

[With the host's strong pursuit, classmate Yamanaka Ino's affection for the host has greatly increased. Congratulations to the host for successfully having a childhood sweetheart.]

[Reward: Radiant Technique]

"This mission was completed just like that?" Ignoring the system's claim of "strong pursuit," Gensou looked at Ino, who was currently battling the half-dead fish.

They had only met less than three times in total.

Moreover, he had never taken the initiative, yet the mission was completed inadvertently.

Indeed, a girl who loves handsome guys develops feelings quickly and easily.

Just as when Sasuke left, Ino wasn't as sad as Sakura.

At this age, being as deeply in love with Sasuke as Sakura was, to the point of being willing to die for him, was unusual.

Gensou shook his head slightly, no longer caring about these matters. He first checked the reward for the Radiant Technique.

The technique's main effect was similar to a cleaning spell, keeping his appearance in the best state.

For someone who didn't like wasting time on washing up, it was a blessing.

Next, Gensou looked at the system's newly released side mission.

[Side Mission: Academic Rivalry]

[Mission Description: After defeating Uchiha Sasuke, the host is unbeatable in the ninja academy, but this only represents strength. In written exams, there is often someone better, who frequently takes the top spot—Sakura. Please surpass Sakura in a written exam to achieve true academic and physical first place.]

[Reward: Precise Chakra Control Talent (Sakura version)]

When Ino brought Sakura over earlier, it wasn't long before Gensou's mind received this new side mission.

Sakura's talent in precise chakra control in the original story was evident. While Gensou could achieve similar results now, he wouldn't refuse an additional boost.

Talent is talent.

It's something that cannot be changed or learned, and Gensou was interested in having more of it.

Otherwise, why would he personally teach these two girls?

"Ahem."

Gensou cleared his throat, interrupting Sakura and Ino's practice. As the two girls looked at him in confusion, he pulled out two test papers and said:

"To better understand your foundation in medical ninjutsu, let's have a pop quiz."

Sakura and Ino had no objections.

But when they noticed Gensou also pulling out a test paper and starting to write, Sakura asked curiously, "Dr. Sōsuke, why are you taking the test too?"

"This is to review and refresh my knowledge." Gensou explained seriously.

Thus, under Sakura's admiring gaze, Gensou effortlessly scored full marks on the test, surpassing her easily.

[Ding!]

[Side Mission: Academic Rivalry (Completed)]

[After diligent and painstaking study, the host finally surpassed the top student Sakura in a written exam, achieving first place in both academics and physical prowess at the ninja academy.]

[Reward: Precise Chakra Control Talent (Sakura version)]

Gensou closed his eyes, feeling the improvement in his precise chakra control, and nodded slightly.

This time, the system's mission reward was finally helpful.

A cause for celebration.
