He really wanted to stay under the radar.
After all, there were still old hardliners like Danzo in Konoha who intensely hated the Uchiha clan.
Xuan Uchiha tugged his mother's hand with hopeful eyes, pleading earnestly.
Thanks to the help of Xiantian Gong, after a year of growth, Xuan Uchiha had grown at an astonishing rate.
"Mom! I want to study medical knowledge and read more books about medicine. Can I?"
It frustrated him a little.
His incredible talent kept shocking people.
Even his height surpassed most children his age.
He had clearly told his dad not to boast everywhere, but apparently it didn't work at all.
His father Chiaki Uchiha was just a loudmouth, always telling people how genius his son was.
These days, practically everyone in Konoha had already heard about Xuan Uchiha's genius.
"Oh?"
Miyoshin Uchiha listened, slightly surprised, then reached out to pat her son's head curiously while asking, "Little Xuan, why are you interested in medical knowledge? Why do you want to learn medicine? Do you want to become a Medical Ninja someday?"
"Yes... and no."
Looking nothing like a one-year-old baby, but rather like a two or three-year-old child.
Plus, his parents had already started planning to prepare foundation-building herbal baths for him just two days ago.
That was a privilege enjoyed by privileged sons of wealthy families.
From the very beginning, they were already creating gaps between their kids and commoner apprentices.
The gap between commoner ninjas and clan-born ninjas was never just about bloodlines.
It's also about wealth and heritage.
This herbal bath was part of that prestigious tradition.
Xuan had no idea what the regular Uchiha herbal bath formula was like.
But having been a traditional Chinese doctor in his past life, along with his flawless intuition, he naturally wanted to create a completely customized herbal formula tailored perfectly for himself, laying an even stronger foundation.
Once ahead, always ahead.
He hoped his base would be as solid as possible.
And he wished his future growth speed could be even faster, as long as it didn't compromise his foundation.
In this dangerous world, he wanted to master self-defense as soon as possible,
And learn to protect his loved ones too;
And finally, take full control of his destiny — shielding it from any outside interference.
It wasn't just about the herbal formula either — if he wanted to keep improving, he'd need a much better understanding of human anatomy and the medicines in this world.
"You're still just a kid!"
Miyoshin Uchiha sighed as she gently pinched Xuan Uchiha's chubby cheeks, saying helplessly, "Actually, your mother wishes you could be livelier like other kids your age, living a happier childhood."
Her little son was great in every way, except being overly mature and intelligent.
So monstrously gifted that he seemed anything but a normal child.
Everything he did followed logic and purpose.
He was even easier to raise than her eldest son Hiko Uchiha.
"Uh... studying already makes me really happy!"
"Having to play with those little kids would just give me a headache!"
Xuan Uchiha said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.
He wasn't really a child anymore. He just couldn't get along with those mud-playing brats.
"Even if you say that..."
Miyoshin Uchiha replied with even greater helplessness. That was exactly the problem!
However, she also knew she couldn't stop Xuan Uchiha from doing whatever he wanted. She promptly reached out to pat Xuan's head and nodded, saying, "Alright then! Mommy will grant your request! Later I'll give you all my medical books;"
"You can always ask Mommy if you don't get something! I am a medical Chunin after all — I know my stuff!"
She'd even studied under Tsunade for a while before. Otherwise, during her earlier pregnancy when she had an unusually big appetite, she wouldn't have gotten Tsunade to come check up on her so easily.
"Awesome! Thanks Mom! You're the best!"
Delighted, Xuan Uchiha rushed into his mother's arms and kissed her cheek gratefully.
"C'mon already!" Xuan Uchiha whined impatiently.
"Okay okay okay! Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without you!"
Miyoshin Uchiha could only helplessly rise to her feet and lead Xuan Uchiha toward her study, where she retrieved her medical books and handed them over to him.
For the next month or so, Xuan Uchiha immersed himself in this ocean of medical knowledge.
During this time, his parents also brewed secret foundation-building herbs from the Uchiha clan, adding the liquid into bathwater to begin giving Xuan Uchiha herbal baths to strengthen his foundations.
Once per week.
That dosage would gradually increase as Xuan grew older.
The medical books his mother gave him were finished within a single month — and he understood every last detail.

[You reviewed your previous life's medical knowledge, refreshed your understanding through repeated study, continuously researched, and combining this with some medical techniques from the Ninja World, you had an epiphany. Your medical skills have improved to an expert level.]
...
[Based on the Uchiha Foundation-Building Herbal Bath formula and using your own medical expertise to improve upon it, you created the Uchiha Foundation-Building Herbal Bath 2.0.]
[Uchiha Foundation-Building Herbal Bath 2.0]: Its effectiveness has been increased by thirty percent compared to the original, with extremely low side-effects. It only needs a three-day gap between uses to eliminate any negative effects, allowing reapplication.
"It's already pretty good, but not quite perfect yet. I still need more medical and herbal knowledge from the Ninja World."
Xuan Uchiha muttered with slightly furrowed brows.
He felt like he was very close to creating the perfect foundation-building herbal bath formula.
"I'll have no choice but to ask my parents again! To see whether they can get me more medical books from either the clan or the ninja hospital."
With this thought in mind, Xuan Uchiha told his parents about his request later that night when both had returned home.
At first, his parents refused, but...

In this new life, with his spiritual power and flawless intuition greatly enhanced, the once foggy knowledge of traditional herbal healing from his past life began to sharpen. And under the guidance of his flawless intuition, his understanding kept deepening.
He naturally wanted to learn medical knowledge from this world too, combining both for future use.
Xuan Uchiha gave a slight nod, then shook his head. "In the future I can become a Medical Ninja, but at the same time I'll also be a powerful combat ninja."
"Given my talent, I know I'll accomplish all that eventually."
In the blink of an eye, a whole year had passed.
"But right now I'm still too young, my body's still fragile — unsuitable for heavy training, let alone chakra refinement!"
"This spare time is perfect for studying medical knowledge instead. Wouldn't that be great?"
Come to think of it, he'd been a healer specializing in ancient herbal remedies back in his previous life. Although his skills weren't exceptional, he still retained considerable knowledge about herbal jutsu.
He was walking on his own within a month and started forming actual words around the third month.
Now a full year had passed, and he could speak the Fire Country's common tongue fluently — and even read most of their writing too.
