Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

"can!"

Sakumo Hatake nodded, and then the two parted ways, quietly returning to their respective camps.

the other side.

Yao Xingji lay on the bed, retracted his Ming Shiyin clone, and pondered the news he had just heard.

"Whose child was taken by Yagura Karatachi? Why are Sakumo Hatake and Nonou Yakushi so concerned, even going so far as to relentlessly pursue Yagura Karatachi for it..."

"The Land of Water, it seems I'll have to find a chance to go there."

Yao Xingji had many questions in his mind, and one point that could not be ignored was that the original owner of Yao Xingji's body came from the Land of Water.

After pondering for a while, Yao Xingji stopped worrying about the problem and began to rest.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a series of prayers appeared in Yao Xingji's mind, waking him from his dream.

"Who is this? Can't a person get any sleep? Does he really think I'm on call 24/7?" Yao Xingji complained as he sank his consciousness into the heart of the universe.

"A star lord who does not belong to this world, the great ruler of the heart of the universe, the glorious king who holds the power of creation and destruction."

The voice became much clearer, and Yao Xingji immediately recognized it as Orochimaru's voice.

The sky hangs upside down.

Yao Xingji sat behind the long bronze table, looking down at the ninja world.

Through countless clouds and mist, he cast his gaze upon Orochimaru.

At that moment, Orochimaru, still in Konoha, waited expectantly in his laboratory until endless gray mist appeared before him, along with that towering figure.

"Lord Star," Orochimaru said respectfully.

"What is it?" Yao Xingji's disguised voice came through, devoid of any emotion.

"I've found the angle and position; he's currently near the border of the Land of Fire," Orochimaru said, looking down.

"Oh?" Yao Xingji's expression hardened.

Orochimaru was much faster than he had imagined; it seemed that having the help of the Anbu was indeed very convenient.

"I plan to go there myself and recruit him into our Yaotian organization. I wonder if that's possible?" Orochimaru asked.

The fact that this angle could attract the attention of the Star Lord meant that the angle's strength was definitely not weak. Therefore, after Orochimaru learned of the angle's location, he did not rush up alone. Instead, he wisely chose to inform the Star Lord first and then make further plans.

“Jiao Du is very strong; you alone might not be able to bring him into the organization,” Yao Xingji said.

"Then what should I do?" Orochimaru asked.

“You should go with Ming Shiyin; he’s also near the border of the Fire Kingdom,” Yao Xingji said.

"I will follow your instructions," Orochimaru replied respectfully.

The next moment, the gray fog dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

"If I were with Ming Shiyin, I could just sit back and relax," Orochimaru muttered to himself.

With such a powerful ninja by his side, Orochimaru could relax a lot. Besides, Ming Shi Yin was a divine messenger, while he was just an ordinary member of the organization. Naturally, the capable should be given more responsibilities.

Meanwhile, Yao Xingji, lying on the bed, touched his nose, having clearly arranged everything for Orochimaru.

"If Orochimaru comes, it wouldn't be bad to let him take down the Three-Tails Isobu while he's at it."

Chapter 162 Battlefield

One night passed.

When Yao Xingji woke up, it was the next morning, and he was awakened by a loud explosion.

"what happened?"

In an instant, Yakusei, Uchiha Shisui, and Yamato woke up from their beds and jumped off.

Shisui had already gripped a short sword tightly in his hand, while Yakusei's Eye of Salvation activated in an instant. As for Yamato, he clasped his hands together, ready to unleash Wood Release at any moment.

"It's coming from outside. Let's go out and see," Yamato said calmly.

“Okay.” Uchiha Shisui nodded, protecting Yakusei, and the three of them immediately rushed out of the tent.

The camp outside was in complete chaos.

The Konoha ninjas kept running and converging in one direction. Many of them, like Yao Xingji and his group, were awakened by the sound of the explosion.

A familiar figure sped past not far away, and Yao Xingji immediately gave chase.

"Sister Lin, what happened?"

When Nohara Rin saw Yao Xingji, she slowed her pace and explained quickly, "The Iwa ninja have launched a surprise attack on our camp. There's already fighting ahead, and I need to get there immediately."

"Iwa ninja? They still dare to come here?" Uchiha Shisui frowned.

The Iwa ninja raiding force was wiped out by Yakusei Kijima alone. Haven't they learned their lesson yet?

“This time it’s different. It’s not just the Iwa ninja’s raiding force, but also a large Iwa ninja army. They’re probably here to avenge the previous annihilation,” Nohara Rin explained.

Uchiha Shisui and Yamato exchanged a glance. They both saw the seriousness in each other's eyes, but at the same time, there was also a hint of fighting spirit.

Last time, when they were outnumbered, they were overwhelmed by the Iwa ninja and only managed to escape after Yakusei went berserk. That was a disgrace for them.

After all, the two of them were originally supposed to protect Yao Xingji, but in the end, it was Yao Xingji who protected them. With their pride, how could they accept such a thing?

Therefore, this time, they must not back down again.

"Let's go, to the battlefield!" Without saying a word, Uchiha Shisui immediately rushed towards the battlefield.

Yamato, not to be outdone, followed Nohara Rin to the battlefield.

Seeing this, Yao Xingji hesitated for a moment, then followed the two and ran towards the battlefield.

His goals differed from those of Uchiha Shisui and the others.

He wasn't going to kill the enemy; he was going to pick up the scraps and fleece the sheep.

Soon, the group arrived at the edge of the battlefield.

The ninjas of Konoha have already clashed with the ninjas of Iwa, with each side having approximately two hundred ninjas.

Yao Xingji's gaze swept across the crowd, spotting familiar faces like Hatake Sakumo and Kakashi, but he didn't see any familiar figures among the Iwa ninja on the other side.

There aren't many ninjas from Iwagakure mentioned in Naruto, and only a few are well-known, all of whom appeared later in the series. Therefore, Yao Xingji couldn't rely on his memories from his previous life to judge their strength.

Why are you here?

As Yao Xingji was looking around, a boy landed beside him.

"The battlefield is too dangerous, don't get too close," Sarutobi Asuma said, frowning.

"I'll just take a look, I'm not going over," Yao Xingji said, scratching his head.

"Okay, be careful." Asuma Sarutobi finished speaking and rushed into the battlefield.

Yao Xingji did not approach any closer, but chose a relatively high spot to gaze at the distant battlefield.

"The Eye of Salvation!"

Yao Xingji activated his pupil technique and looked at the battlefield in the distance.

All the scenery in the field of vision disappeared, leaving only a large area of ​​rapidly moving humanoid light and shadow. Most of the ninjas were green, but there were also many red marks mixed in.

"Quite a few people are injured." Yao Xingji smiled.

"Then, let's begin the treatment!"

The next moment, a dark red ripple spread from his eyes, quickly covering the battlefield.

On the battlefield.

Kakashi slashed out and killed a Genin from Iwa, but an Earth Release ninjutsu struck him, sending him flying and crashing to the ground.

puff!

Kakashi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale.

"Kakashi, how are you?" Rin Nohara shouted anxiously from afar.

She was a medical ninja, and when she saw Kakashi injured, she immediately wanted to rush over to treat him. However, the battlefield was too complicated, and given her weak combat abilities, she didn't dare to rush to that location.

"Lin, don't come any closer!"

Kakashi immediately roared.

With Nohara Rin's fighting strength, once she came, there was no way she would have to leave alive. There were so many Iwa ninja watching; it was simply impossible for a medical ninja to heal on the battlefield.

the other side.

The Iwa ninja leader's eyes lit up when he saw Kakashi injured.

"That's Sakumo Hatake's son, kill him!"

As the saying goes, "to catch a thief, first catch his king," but the Iwa ninja couldn't deal with Sakumo Hatake, so they could only look for an opportunity with Sakumo's son, Kakashi. This is why Kakashi, despite his great strength, was still injured—he received special 'attention' from the enemy.

With Kakashi injured, the Iwa ninja immediately had an idea.

If Kakashi dies, it will definitely affect Sakumo Hatake's mentality, and the subsequent battle will be much easier.

In an instant, the hidden Iwa ninja ANBU members immediately rushed out and headed straight for Kakashi.

In this situation, it would be worthwhile to trade places with Kakashi, even if it meant replacing him with a ninja from Iwagakure.

Damn it!

Kakashi cursed under his breath and turned to leave, but his escape route was already blocked.

He had just gotten carried away with the killing spree and ventured too far alone, making it extremely difficult for him to return now.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Obito Uchiha shouted and charged forward, but since he hadn't even awakened his Sharingan yet, he was no match for the Iwa ninja and was immediately stopped.

"Am I going to die here?"

Kakashi's gaze swept around, his expression filled with sorrow and resentment.

He was only twelve years old, with a bright future ahead of him. He was a genius ninja of Konoha, but on the battlefield, he was nothing.
