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

The blue buff lasts for 70 seconds and restores 2% of chakra per second, which is enough to restore Ming Shi Yin's chakra to its best state before other ninjas arrive.

the other side.

Led by Shizune, Yao Xingji arrived at the Anbu and saw Tsunade, Danzo, and others who were already waiting there.

"They're here, let's get started!" Danzo said immediately.

"Yes, Lord Danzo!" Yamanaka Inoichi nodded, glanced at Tsunade and the others, and then walked towards Yakusei.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Just think of it as a short rest..." Yamanaka Inoichi said with a smile, trying his best to soothe Yao Xingji's emotions.

"Yes, I'm not afraid!" Yao Xingji nodded, her innocent big eyes blinking as she curiously looked at Yamanaka Inoichi, the father of Konoha's Twelve Konoha Prodigies, while simultaneously controlling Ming Shiyin's clone to activate Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees.

Boom!

The ANBU beneath Konoha trembled violently.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Book of Seals

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"Could it be an earthquake?"

Amid the violent tremors, everyone looked around in panic, momentarily confused about what was happening.

Yamanaka Inoichi's mind-reading technique had to stop, and the next moment, Tsunade appeared beside Yakusei, picking him up to prevent any unexpected situations.

"Enemy attack!!! It's that Wood Release ninja, he's attacking the Hokage's residence!" Suddenly, Sakumo Hatake's voice echoed throughout the Anbu, and everyone's expression immediately changed.

"go!"

Without any hesitation, Danzo instantly vanished, with Orochimaru close behind.

The rest of the group immediately sprang into action, quickly leaving the Anbu and gathering at the Third Hokage's residence.

At this point, no one cared about Yao Xingji anymore, and no one wanted to know what was in his memories.

The purpose of mind reading is to find the Wood Release ninja, but now that the person has appeared, the mind reading technique has lost its meaning.

"Should we continue mind reading?" Yamanaka Inoichi asked somewhat awkwardly.

He was, after all, following the Hokage's orders. It was understandable that everyone else ran away, but he couldn't explain himself.

"What's the point of trying to read minds at a time like this? The most urgent thing is to capture that Wood Release ninja," Tsunade said directly.

"Lady Tsunade is right, I'll go help right away!" Without another word, Yamanaka Inoichi instantly vanished, running faster than a rabbit.

As Yao Xingji watched Yamanaka Inoichi's departing figure, he thought to himself, "That guy is quite shrewd. Asking such a question may seem insignificant, but it actually made Tsunade say that she no longer reads minds. Even if the Hokage asks about it later, he will have a good explanation."

"Let's go take a look together."

Tsunade looked serious. After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth and decided to go and take a look.

Such a battle scene would most likely result in bloodshed and casualties, and given her hemophobia, it would be inconvenient for her to go.

But the ninja who could use Wood Release finally appeared, and she really wanted to see who that person was and why he could use the Wood Release bloodline limit that only her grandfather could use. Moreover, this person was fighting in Konoha at this time, so he was obviously not a good person. As a ninja of Konoha, she had a duty to protect her home.

When Tsunade brought the medicine star to the ground, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was in chaos. This battle had broken out directly within the village, and the attackers were incredibly powerful, causing widespread turmoil.

"That...that is..."

Tsunade subconsciously looked in the direction of the Third Hokage's residence, only to find herself in a vast forest composed of towering trees.

Countless trees filled that direction, and there was no trace of a residential area left. All that could be seen was green trees, nothing else.

"What a terrifying ability!" Shizune exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock at the sight.

She had always heard people say that the First Hokage's Wood Release was incredibly powerful, but those were just legends; she had never actually seen it. Now, when the real Wood Release appeared before her, she realized what true power was.

These terrifying trees not only altered the terrain of the area but also created an absolutely defensive zone. No ninja dared to easily enter it to fight, and no one could see what was happening inside.

"Evacuate the surrounding civilians, and have all the Fire Release ninjas burn them with flames."

Sakumo Hatake had already begun giving orders, and after the initial panic subsided, everyone began to perform their respective duties.

"Starry Sky, was it this terrifying ninja that you encountered back then?" Shizune asked, her face pale.

Such a powerful figure, let alone a three-year-old child like Yao Xingji, would probably be killed in a single encounter even by an ordinary Jonin. It's truly fortunate that Yao Xingji survived that incident.

"I probably didn't see him, otherwise I might be dead already," Yao Xing said in a very low voice.

Her bright eyes were fixed on the distant forest, as if piercing through countless trees to see what was happening in the heart of the forest.

Ming Shiyin emerged from the Hokage's residence, carrying a scroll over a meter tall—the Book of Sealing Techniques held by successive Hokage. Besides this, there were numerous other ancient scrolls of varying sizes, all belonging to the First Hokage's notes and journals related to Wood Release.

In truth, there was nothing in Konoha Village that interested Yao Xingji, but since he was going to cause trouble, he had to have a purpose, otherwise it would seem strange. So Yao Xingji focused his attention on the Book of Seals and the scrolls left behind by the First Hokage. Compared to other things, these scrolls were somewhat useful to Yao Xingji.

Flames shot into the sky as numerous fire-style ninjas began unleashing their techniques, burning the forest formed by the birth of the Tree World.

In Konoha, there is no shortage of Fire Release ninjas.

By this time, almost all of Konoha's high-ranking officials had gathered nearby, and even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had arrived.

Faced with the forest before them, no one dared to make a move.

Those familiar with Wood Release knew that they absolutely could not enter the area where the Tree World had been born to fight at this time; the best course of action was to destroy the forest.

Moreover, the area is currently surrounded, and that Wood Release ninja has no chance of escape, so they are not in a hurry.

"What's the situation inside?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a somber expression.

"It's still unclear. All we know is that the person's target was very clear: your residence. In order to get in, he didn't hesitate to use the Tree World Advent to completely cover the surrounding area," Sakumo Hatake said immediately.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, trying to think of what his family might have that would make the other party take such a big risk to get it.

After much thought, it seems that only the Book of Seals and the notes left behind by the First Hokage remain.

"Blind eyes!"

Not far away, among the Hyuga clan members dressed in kimonos, the leader directly unleashed the Byakugan. It was none other than the young Hyuga Hiashi, the clan head of the Hyuga family.

"It was a man, about 1.8 meters tall, carrying a scroll over a meter long on his back, which seemed to be the Book of Sealing!"

Hiashi Hyuga immediately told everyone what he had seen.

"So it really is for the Book of Seals?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze flickered slightly.

But it seems unnecessary for the other party to make such a big fuss. With his strength, he could easily steal the Book of Seals.

Just as everyone was speculating about who was behind this, a tree in the forest surrounded by raging fires suddenly shot up, reaching a height of over fifty meters in the blink of an eye.

At the top of the tree, a mysterious man dressed in a dark purple astrological robe finally appeared before everyone.

A stunningly beautiful yet sinister appearance, a spinning armillary sphere, and an indifferent gaze that overlooks the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The wind whipped his robes, and at that moment he looked like a god.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Interpretation of Hexagrams

"I heard you were looking for me, so I've come!" Ming Shiyin's voice was calm and unhurried, exuding a noble air with an air of mystery.

At this moment, everyone in Konoha focused their attention on this mysterious man.

The firelight illuminated the towering trees and the Hokage Rock behind them. The statue of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, flickered, as if watching everything that was happening here.

"Who are you, and why have you intruded into Konoha?"

Just as everyone was about to make their move, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, spoke up, causing those who were secretly planning to attack to temporarily stop.

“Soul Divination – Ming Shiyin!” Ming Shiyin said calmly.

"Ming Shiyin?"

"Soul divination? What is that?"

"A title? I've never heard of such a person in the ninja world?"

……

Upon hearing the name Ming Shiyin, everyone looked bewildered. This name seemed quite different from those in the ninja world, and they had never heard of his title before.

"I don't care who you are. If you dare to make a move in Konoha, you will die today!" Danzo said coldly.

The moment the words fell, Orochimaru, who was standing behind Danzo, made his move.

"Hidden Shadow Serpent Hands!"

Orochimaru suddenly swung his right hand out, and his right hand under his sleeve instantly transformed into countless ferocious snakes, heading straight for Ming Shiyin to coil and tear at him.

This is a B-rank ninjutsu created by Orochimaru. Its power is terrifying. Multiple giant snakes are summoned in an instant to perform tasks such as intimidation, restraint, and capture, achieving a multi-hit effect. The opponent is often bound before they can even react.

"Lord Orochimaru has made his move!!!"

"What amazing ninjutsu!"

"I've seen this trick before; it'll definitely catch this arrogant fool!"

……

Upon seeing Orochimaru make his move, the surrounding ninjas' eyes lit up with excitement.

This is one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, and is said to be the successor chosen by the Third Hokage. He is extremely powerful, but he rarely makes a move anymore. Seeing such a legendary ninja in action, the ordinary ninjas all stared wide-eyed, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

All the powerful figures of Konoha turned their attention to Ming Shiyin.

Orochimaru's move was actually a test. They didn't know anything about this Wood Release ninja, so they had to figure out his strength first, otherwise they wouldn't be able to fight the rest of the battle.

Since the battlefield is within Konoha Village, no matter how the fighting unfolds, Konoha will suffer the greatest losses. Moreover, a large-scale battle would restrict Konoha's actions, forcing them to consider too many factors. Therefore, gathering intelligence on this person through probing tactics and then launching a targeted attack is the best option.

Facing the surging tide of countless giant snakes, Ming Shiyin's expression remained unchanged.

boom!

The forest beneath his feet suddenly began to grow rapidly, with numerous trees shooting up and blocking the direction from which the snakes attacked.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of trees extended out and began to attack the giant snakes indiscriminately. In almost a single encounter, Orochimaru's Shadow Snake Hands were completely slaughtered.

"Wood Release: Tree Binding for Eternal Burial!"

Ming Shiyin's gaze fell on Orochimaru. The next moment, a large tree suddenly rose from the ground, sealing Orochimaru inside the growing tree.

Orochimaru didn't expect Ming Shiyin's Wood Release to be activated so quickly, without even forming hand seals, before the ninjutsu had already taken effect on him, catching him completely off guard and causing him to be hit directly.
