Konoha's Hextech Ninja

After returning from the ninja academy, Kaori Uzumaki looked preoccupied.

But perhaps because Tsunade was there, she kept quiet and didn't say it.

Yagami Yoruichi couldn't stand it anymore, so she called her out alone.

"Lord Yoruichi, it seems I've awakened a special ability."

Kaori Uzumaki raised her wrist, revealing a clear teeth mark.

Upon seeing the teeth marks, Yagami Yoruichi immediately thought of Karin Uzumaki's ability in the original work—to quickly heal injuries by being bitten.

But at this moment, Yagami Yoruichi's first reaction was not surprise, but to grab Uzumaki Kaori's arm, stare at the teeth marks on her wrist, and ask, "How did you find out? Who bit you?"

"It was...it was me." Kaori Uzumaki was startled by Yoruichi Yagami and quickly explained, "I got a little injured during the practical lesson, and then I bit myself, and the wound healed."

As she spoke, Kaori Uzumaki wanted to demonstrate, saying, "My lady, I'll show you right now!"

As Kaori Uzumaki spoke, she used a kunai to cut a gash on her arm, then immediately bit her other hand.

As a flush appeared on her face, the wound inflicted by the kunai healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the bite marks were completely preserved, showing no signs of recovery.

Throughout the entire process, Yagami Yoruichi used her senses to firmly lock onto the flow of chakra within Uzumaki Kaori's body, easily analyzing the principle behind this ability.

It draws life force from the bite site to heal the wound.

The teeth marks cannot be restored because the vitality of this part of the limb has been excessively drained, and it takes longer to heal.

Considering the transfer of life force and the damage during the wound healing process, it is simply impossible to achieve the ideal effect of 'self-biting and infinite recovery'.

Each time she was bitten, it drained Kaori Uzumaki's own life force.

To put it simply, it shortens her lifespan.

"It's a bit of a letdown," Yagami Yoruichi quickly assessed in his mind.

For ordinary ninja villages, these 'blood packs' might be irreplaceable 'treasures' for first aid on the battlefield.

However, for Yoruichi Yagami, this ability is extremely useless.

Yoruichi Yagami's Zyra version of Wood Release absorbs almost limitless life force, and its healing effect on wounds is no less than that of Kaori Uzumaki's special constitution; in fact, it is even stronger.

However, Yoruichi Yagami had also thought of that.

If Kaori Uzumaki could use this special constitution to study the essence of life force, she might achieve great success in medical ninjutsu.

Even without using this special physique to help others recover, medical ninjutsu alone can be very effective.

"Don't use this ability anymore, it will shorten your lifespan."

Yagami Yoruichi offered a reminder, drawing upon a portion of her stored life force to condense a 'Sprout of Creation' which she handed to Uzumaki Kaori: "Eat it, and your lost lifespan will be restored."

Kaori Uzumaki bit herself twice, which probably cost her several hours of lifespan.

A single, minimal sprout of creation can replenish dozens of times more.

Kaori Uzumaki obediently took the Sprout of Creation, put it in her mouth and swallowed it, saying, "I understand. From now on, I will only treat Yoruichi."

"No one is allowed to use it!" Yagami Yoruichi tapped Uzumaki Kaori on the head.

With its own budding potential, why would it need to bite into the whirlpool of Kaori?

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Uzumaki Kaori showed a disappointed expression, opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Seeing her like this, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten my promise to you. Although I can't use this ability, I will still help you get revenge. In a few days, I'll go to the Land of Earth with you. When we pass through the Grass Village, I'll help you get revenge."

Yagami Yoruichi had promised Uzumaki Kaori that if she could awaken one of the three special bloodline abilities of the Uzumaki clan, he would help her take revenge and destroy the Kusagakure village.

Yagami Yoruichi doesn't need this healing ability, but he doesn't intend to go back on his word.

Upon hearing Yagami Yoruichi's words, Uzumaki Kaori suddenly looked up, her face filled with surprise: "Really?! Yoruichi-sama, could I also go and pay my respects to Uncle Takuto?!"

Hearing Kaori Uzumaki's words, Yoruichi Yagami felt a slight pang of emotion.

“Okay, I’ll go with you after we destroy the Grass Village.”

Yagami Yoruichi reached out, wanting to pat Uzumaki Kaori on the shoulder.

But Yagami Yoruichi had grown to almost 1.8 meters tall, while Uzumaki Kaori was less than 1.5 meters tall. Yagami Yoruichi's hand landed on her forehead.

Yagami Yoruichi paused slightly, then ruffled Uzumaki Kaori's hair a few times and said, "Go and rest. You don't need to train for the next few days. You can train properly after we return from Kusagakure."

"Thank you, Yoruichi!" Kaori Uzumaki blushed and lowered her head, looking shy.

After hesitating for a while, Kaori Uzumaki hugged Yoruichi Yagami tightly, then immediately let go as if she had been startled, and fled back to her residence.

"This guy." Yagami Yoruichi looked helpless.

Although Kaori Uzumaki has been trying to cover it up.

But after spending these past few years together, Yagami Yoruichi could clearly see that this girl had long since made her her only support.

Because of Kurenai Yuhi, Kaori Uzumaki has been trying hard to suppress her own feelings, behaving like a tool or a subordinate.

But she was, after all, just a very young girl, and occasionally a flaw would appear, allowing Yagami Yoruichi to sense the emotions she had been desperately suppressing.

"Are all the people in this ninja world so precocious?!"

Yagami Yoruichi muttered to himself, watching Uzumaki Kaori's retreating figure, but the image of Yuhi Kurenai's smiling face appeared in his mind.

As he pondered this, Tsunade's feigned serious expression reappeared in Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

The image of Nohara Rin secretly glancing at him also surfaced in his memory.

For a moment, Yagami Yoruichi felt like a scumbag.

"Well, so be it, he's a scumbag."

Yoruichi Yagami suddenly smiled with relief, turned around and left, returning to her residence.

……

In the Land of Hot Springs, at the headquarters of Konoha.

Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport back to the camp. The moment he was teleported back, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been brought back with him, quickly supported Minato Namikaze, ignoring his own bleeding wound, and loudly called for medical ninjas.

After a whole night of emergency treatment, both of their injuries were initially treated.

Hiruzen Sarutobi fared somewhat better; his injuries weren't too serious.

However, Minato Namikaze's waist and abdomen were pierced, and a section of his intestines was cut off.

If it weren't for the miraculous medical ninjutsu, even if such an injury could be saved, it would leave very serious sequelae.

Even with medical ninjutsu, he still needs to lie in bed for a period of time to regain his fighting ability.

"Hiruzen." Mitokado En came to visit, glanced at the unconscious Namikaze Minato, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen on the next bed, "Hasn't the village's reinforcement arrived yet?! Two perfect Jinchuriki, even if we old guys fight to the death, we can't stop them."

As he spoke, Mitokado Homura couldn't help but raise his voice, saying, "Even if you don't send reinforcements, at least call Jiraiya back!"

"We've received a message from the village; we just need to hold on for another three months. After three months, the support will arrive."

As Sarutobi Hiuzan was speaking.

Suddenly, urgent alarms rang out in the camp.

Both of them paled instantly, abandoning their conversation, and jumped out of the window. Following the alarm's guidance, they leaped swiftly across the rooftop, rushing towards the direction of the enemy's attack.

In the distance, a large cat engulfed in blue flames and a monster that was half cow and half octopus simultaneously gathered terrifying chakra in their mouths.

The two tailed beast balls have already set their sights on Konoha's front-line headquarters!

Chapter 219 The Destruction of Kusagakure

"Senior Fugaku, please take this."

Yagami Yoruichi handed a Flying Thunder God kunai to Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Senpai, take the sensory team to the target location to meet up. Once you arrive, input chakra into the seal, and I will go directly there."

"Flying Thunder God Technique..."

With mixed feelings, Uchiha Fugaku accepted the kunai, carefully put it away, and left with several sensory teams.

"Let's go too."

Yagami Yoruichi placed his hand on Uzumaki Kaori's shoulder and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, instantly traversing a vast distance and appearing on a grassland.

On a rock beneath their feet, the Flying Thunder God mark left by Yagami Yoruichi's clone, who had arrived ahead of time, was clearly visible.

A wave of weakness washed over her, making Yoruichi Yagami feel slightly dizzy.

It took a few seconds to adjust.

"Is transmitting thousands of kilometers at a time still too much of a stretch?"

Yagami Yoruichi sensed that nearly a third of her chakra had been depleted and roughly estimated her current limit.

If the issue of preserving combat power is not taken into account, Yoruichi Yagami could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to traverse the entire ninja world continent.

But if you do that, you'll drain Yagami Yoruichi's chakra in just one time.

Although the Flying Thunder God Technique consumes much less chakra for long-distance teleportation than the Mirror Fold, it still has the limitation that the farther the teleportation distance, the more chakra it consumes.

However, as long as she doesn't engage in such long-distance teleportation, Yoruichi Yagami's chakra reserves are sufficient to support her traveling freely to most places in the ninja world.

Don't be fooled by the fact that one-third of your chakra is a lot at once.

The remaining two-thirds of his chakra was equivalent to dozens of times that of a typical Kage-level powerhouse, more than enough to support a high-intensity battle.

"This is..."

Kaori Uzumaki stared blankly at the scene before her, and subconsciously asked, "Is this the Land of Grass?"

She knew that Yagami Yoruichi possessed space-time ninjutsu with the ability to teleport long distances, and this wasn't her first time experiencing it.

But she never expected that Yoruichi Yagami could teleport her such a long distance.

"The Grass Village is just ahead."

Yoruichi Yagami raised her hand and pointed forward.

The Land of Grass is a vast plain with flat terrain and few mountains. Even the occasional undulations are just small hills.

The place where the two were located was considered high ground, but the difference in elevation between it and the plain below was equivalent to the height of a dozen or so stories.

Kaori Uzumaki stared wide-eyed for a long time before she could vaguely make out the outline of a small town on the horizon.

It's as if Konoha Village is actually a fairly large city.

Although Kusagakure is named after a 'village', it is actually a town with a population of over 10,000.

Of course, the vast majority of them were ninja family members or commoners without chakra. The number of people who could extract chakra and barely qualify as ninjas was just over a thousand.

If we calculate based on the standards for genin (lower-ranking ninja) of the five great ninja villages, there would be at most a few hundred ninjas.

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly. Hold on tight!"

Yagami Yoruichi clapped his hands together, forming the '巳' hand seal, and shouted in a low voice, "Wood Release - Wood Dragon Technique!"

A giant wooden dragon burst forth from the ground, and Yagami Yoruichi and Uzumaki Kaori stood right on its head.

The wooden dragon raised its head high and swam quickly towards the direction of the Grass Ninja Village.

Kaori Uzumaki was shaken so badly she almost fell off. She quickly grabbed Yoruichi Yagami's arm, channeled her chakra into the soles of her feet, and adjusted herself before finally regaining her balance.

Just as the wooden dragon was about to reach the sky above Kusagakure, Kaori Uzumaki realized that she was holding Yoruichi Yagami's arm. She quickly let go and apologized, "I'm sorry, Yoruichi-sama."

Below, a giant wooden dragon was seen approaching, and the Grass Ninja Village was already in chaos.

Almost all the grass ninja who remained in the village gathered together; some were evacuating civilians, while others were searching for their superiors.

Others, in a panic, pulled out their swords and threw them at the wooden dragon.

But how could a mere shuriken pose any threat to the wooden dragon?

As for the group of Grass Ninja questioning him with fear, Yagami Yoruichi completely ignored them and had no intention of communicating with them at all.

"Look closely, Kaori."

Yagami Yoruichi maintained the 'Snake' hand seal posture, her chakra surging: "Wood Release - Severing Vine!"

Countless vines burst forth from the ground, as if they had an automatic tracking function, automatically locking onto all living things in the Grass Ninja Village and sweeping towards them.

Whether it's ninjas, civilians, or even the pets kept by the villagers of Kusagakure, they are all targets of these man-eating vines.
