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

"I know you're not asleep, come with me!"

The owner of those eyes suddenly lowered his head and whispered in Yao Xingji's ear.

After speaking, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for Yao Xingji's response.

"Who is he? Why do I need to follow him? What does he want?"

Yao Xingji suddenly opened his eyes.

According to the memories of this body, the boy just now was named Kawano, also an orphan, eleven years old. He was not very familiar with Yakushi Hoshiki; they only knew each other, as there was an eight-year age gap between them, and they didn't have much in common.

But this stranger from his memory suddenly contacted him in the early hours of the morning, and in such a bizarre way, which made Yao Xingji very uneasy.

"To go or not to go, that is the question."

Yao Xingji began to engage in Shakespearean thinking.

After a while, he quietly got up and followed.

He didn't know if this person was related to his previous murder. If they were, or even if he was the murderer, then the existence of Pharmacist Xingji must have already aroused the other party's suspicion. If he didn't go, the problem would be even bigger.

If they go, Yao Xingji can try to solve this problem.

After all, no one knew that he was no longer the three-year-old Pharmacist Xingji, but the adult Pharmacist Xingji.

Kawano didn't go far, standing at the end of the corridor waiting. When he noticed Yao Xingji following him, he turned and went into the restroom at the end of the corridor.

Yao Xing carefully entered the room and looked at Kawano standing at the window.

"Don't be afraid, we're in this together," Kawano said calmly, looking at Yao Xingji.

"In cahoots?" Yao Xing frowned in confusion, feigning ignorance and trying to act like a child.

"We are all spies from the Land of Water," Kawano said indifferently.

Yao Xingji: "..."

“Surprised? Heh, you were sent to the battlefield after losing your memory so that someone would bring you back to Konoha and infiltrate the village. Now it seems that this plan was very successful.” Kawano explained calmly, a hopeful look on his face, as if recalling the situation when he first learned that he was a spy, which was similar to Yao Xingji’s situation now, or even worse.

Kawano pulled a photograph from his pocket, and as his chakra flowed, an image immediately appeared on the previously blank photograph.

It was a woman leading a child by the hand, and holding an infant in her arms.

"Your mother and your sister will be proud of you, and they will live happily under the protection of the village."

As Kawano spoke, he handed the photo in his hand to Yao Xingji.

Despite the age difference of more than a year, Yao Xingji could still recognize that the child being led by the woman was none other than Yaoshi Xingji. At the same time, scenes flashed through his mind, and forgotten moments began to resurface one by one.

The pharmacist Xingji didn't actually suffer from amnesia; rather, his memories were sealed away, and the key to unlocking them was this photograph. This method allows spies sent out from childhood to quickly identify themselves without experiencing self-denial.

“Originally, we were going to tell you about this after you joined the Ninja Academy, but the plan has changed. We have a better solution and have to implement it ahead of schedule,” Kawano continued.

That photo both reminded Yao Xingji of his identity and served as a blatant threat.

Yao Xingji's eyes were deep, and after a moment he asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Child spies—the Naruto world is really something else!

This kind of operation is very risky, but the potential rewards are often also very high.

They don't need all the children to survive. As long as one or two survive and successfully infiltrate Konoha, or even become high-ranking members of Konoha, the intelligence gains they bring will be enormous.

As for the children who died, they were merely cannon fodder sacrificed for a greater good.

Kawano smiled slightly when he heard Yao Xingji's question.

This newcomer is quite adept at getting things done.

I remember the last time, that kid refused to admit he was a spy from the Land of Water and even tried to report him, so he was killed.

It's perfectly normal for an orphanage to lose a child. Even ninjas from Konoha Village can disappear without a trace, let alone an orphan that no one cares about.

"Join the Konoha Medical Team, gain Tsunade's trust, and ideally become her disciple," Kawano said bluntly.

"You..." Yao Xingji stared wide-eyed at Chuan Ye in astonishment.

“I saw you treating Koji before. You mastered the Palm Healing Technique at the age of three. Such talent in medical ninjutsu should be enough to win the favor of Princess Tsunade,” Kawano said with a smile.

"Don't be surprised. After all, you are a spy from our Water Kingdom. We will keep a close eye on your situation."

"Also, Tsunade is currently in Konoha, but according to our intelligence, she could leave at any time. You need to hurry. If needed, I can help you arrange to meet Tsunade at a suitable time and showcase your medical ninjutsu talent. As for how far you can go in the end, that depends on your abilities."

After saying that, Kawano didn't speak again, but looked at the three-year-old child in front of him with great interest.

If Yao Xingji succeeds this time, he will have made a great contribution and might be able to escape his spy career and return to the Land of Water.

Through Tsunade, Yao Xingji could easily connect with the other two Legendary Sannin of Konoha, as well as the Third Hokage and the Senju clan, which meant he was already among the highest levels of Konoha.

The future is limitless.

Yao Xingji clutched the photo in his hand, remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I accept this task, but I need you to help me arrange a chance encounter with Tsunade."

"No problem. I'll let you know once everything is arranged." Kawano readily agreed.

Yao Xing nodded obediently.

"By the way, when you found me, did you encounter anyone else? I've forgotten how I fell into that dry well," Yao Xingji asked, distressed.

“I don’t know. By the time I found you, it was already after Koji had pulled you out of the dry well.” Kawano shook his head.

Just as Kawano was about to end the secret meeting, Yao Xingji suddenly looked up, holding a photo in one hand and pointing to a corner of it with the other, and asked, "Can you tell me who this person is?"

Chapter Four Facial Cleanser

"Huh?" Kawano was taken aback.

He hadn't looked at the photo closely, and at this moment he didn't know who Yao Xingji was referring to. Could there be someone else in the photo?

"Let me see." Kawano reached out his hand, intending to take the photo.

At the same time, Yao Xingji raised his hand and tried to hand the photo to Kawano, who was much taller than him.

The moment Kawano received the photo, Yao Xing's extremely immature right hand did not retract, but instead landed directly on Kawano's waist.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

Before Kawano's horrified and incredulous gaze, a large number of wooden spikes burst forth from Yaoxing's extremely tender right hand, frantically piercing his body.

A spy from the Land of Water?

What does it have to do with me!

He, Yao Xingji, was merely a transmigrator, with no feelings for the Naruto world, let alone the distant Land of Water.

Once Yao Xingji is confirmed to be a spy for the Land of Water, his life will surely be filled with misery.

Don't be fooled by the fact that we're only getting close to Tsunade right now; once this goal is achieved, the mission will immediately become much more difficult and dangerous.

He can barely take care of himself, so how can he care about others?

There's a saying that goes something like this: "After I die, who cares if the world is flooded!"

He had no interest in, nor could he possibly undertake, a spy mission for the Land of Water. Therefore, the only thing he needed to do was eliminate this colleague who knew everything. Yao Xing knew all too well how cruel the world of Naruto was, so he didn't hesitate for a moment when he struck.

"You... Wood Release... How is that possible..."

Kawano's eyes were wide open like copper bells, and blood kept gushing from his mouth.

He never imagined that he, who already possessed the strength of a genin, would die at the hands of a three-year-old child. What he didn't expect even more was that this three-year-old child would be able to use the Wood Release technique, which was famous throughout the ninja world.

Isn't this a bloodline limit that only the First Hokage possessed?

How could this happen to a spy from a water country?

Endless shock and questions exploded in Kawano's mind, and the excruciating pain in his body drove him mad.

"not good!"

Suddenly, Yao Xingji's expression changed drastically.

He originally intended to use Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique to kill Kawano at close range, but he had too little chakra. Moreover, although the Wood Release secret technique rewarded by the Heart of the Universe could be used without learning, being able to use it and being proficient in using it were two different things. It was these two factors that gave Kawano, who should have been killed instantly, a chance to catch his breath.

Without any hesitation, Yao Xingji immediately retreated.

Kawano was hit by the cutting technique without any warning, and his injuries were fatal. But before he died, no one knew what he might do.

"Go to hell!"

In his final moments, Kawano flicked his right hand and threw a kunai at Yakusei.

With the help of the dim moonlight, Yaoxing could clearly see a talisman wrapped around the kunai.

Explosive tags!

"Wood Release·Wooden Spindle Wall!"

Almost the instant he saw the explosive tag, Yao Xingji used his remaining chakra to cast a defensive ninjutsu using the Wood Release technique.

It has to be said that ninjutsu that does not require hand seals is really convenient to perform. With just a thought, the ninjutsu can be released directly without any delay.

bang bang bang...

One wooden wall after another rose from the ground, forming a semi-circular fortress that protected Yao Xingji behind it.

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the toilet was blown apart, and the tremendous explosion echoed through the quiet village of Konoha.

Thanks to the defense of the wooden ingot wall, Yao Xingji dodged the explosion of the detonating tag. At the same time, the Heart of the Universe in his mind burst out with a brilliant light, but it was not the previous azure blue, but scarlet. Unfortunately, Yao Xingji did not have time to check it, because something more serious awaited him.

That's the ninja Konoha is about to have!

How to do?

Yao Xingji's expression turned extremely ugly.

With such a violent explosion occurring inside Konoha Village, it goes without saying how many eyes are watching this place.

Yao Xingji's plan was still too hasty.

He didn't have enough time to prepare to assassinate Kawano, because if he gave the other party time, the information about him would likely be leaked, and then there would be no point in him killing Kawano.

But that's how impromptu assassinations are; they can encounter all sorts of unexpected situations.

Yao Xingji also did not expect that his Wood Release technique would not instantly kill Kawano.
