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

"The fact that chakra has no elemental attribute does not mean that you cannot use elemental escaping techniques. You can think of chakra without an elemental attribute as containing all elements," Orochimaru explained.

"Including all attributes?" Tsunade stroked her chin, lost in thought.

Orochimaru didn't disturb them, but simply watched quietly from the side.

After a short while, Tsunade came to her senses, nodded to Orochimaru, and said, "I understand. I have other things to do, so I won't bother you any longer."

After speaking, Tsunade turned and left, her expression somber, as if she was still pondering the matter.

Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils only flickered slightly after the laboratory door closed.

"Chakra without any elemental attribute, interesting. This Star Lord is really piquing my curiosity more and more." Orochimaru showed a very interested expression.

Although Tsunade did not mention who the owner of the non-attribute chakra was, the only person who could make Tsunade ask him personally, and who has not yet had his chakra attribute tested through proper channels, is Yakusei Kiku. Orochimaru could almost pinpoint it without even guessing.

"It's a pity he's Tsunade's disciple, otherwise I would definitely capture him for experiments."

Orochimaru shook his head, temporarily suppressing his curiosity about the medicine star, and turned to walk towards a wall deep inside the laboratory.

Press down on a movable stone slab, and the wall in front of you suddenly cracks open, revealing a secret passage leading underground.

"what……"

A faint scream rang out, accompanied by a stench of blood rising from the ground.

Orochimaru slowly walked into the secret passage, and the walls behind him slowly closed in.

China is a land of flowers.

In the courtyard, Yao Xingji was using the flower-growing skills he inherited from Ming Shiyin to tend to the flowers and plants.

Using his own chakra as a conduit, he can maintain the blooming time of these flowers and provide them with nutrients. Although it is an ability that has no practical use, it is still quite fitting to live up to the name of a gardener.

The courtyard gate opened from the outside, and Yao Xingji turned around and saw Xiao Si walking in from outside.

"Brother Xiaosi." Yao Xingji smiled.

Do ninja schools let out this late?

It was almost dark by then.

"Has Xingji eaten yet?" Xiaosi smiled when he saw Yao Xingji.

"I've been waiting for you," Yao Xingji said.

"Ah, I'm a little late, sorry. I'll make it right away." After saying that, Koji walked towards the kitchen.

"I've already prepared all the dishes..." Yao Xingji's words were cut short as his brows furrowed.

He noticed that Koji was walking with a limp, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.

This smell is undetectable to most people, but Yao Xingji, who has awakened the Eye of Salvation, is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and immediately noticed something was wrong.

"The Eye of Salvation".

Yao Xingji directly extracted chakra and activated his eye technique.

A pale pink hue covered Yao Xingji's originally black eyes. The moment his gaze fell on Xiaosi, he saw a completely different scene than before.

Dozens of red orbs of light, large and small, were distributed all over Xiaosi's body, the most obvious one being on his legs, from which the smell of blood also emanated.

Although it had been treated, the wound was not treated professionally, and blood was still seeping out.

"You're injured. What happened?" Yao Xingji asked in a low voice.

"Ah, no, it was just a slight bump." Xiaosi didn't expect Yaoxingji to notice his injury, and gave an unnatural smile as he awkwardly explained.

“My Eyes of Salvation can see injuries directly,” Yao Xingji said directly.

"I... okay, I accidentally fell from a height and got hurt," Koji explained. "But don't worry, your brother Koji is in very good health, this kind of injury will heal quickly. Okay, I'm going to cook now."

After Xiaosi finished speaking, he immediately turned to leave, but Yao Xingji was quick and grabbed Xiaosi's arm.

“I am Lady Tsunade’s disciple,” Yao Xingji said.

“I know.” Koji paused for a moment.

“I can tell the difference between a fall injury and a beating,” Yao Xingji continued.

Koji pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "Actually, there's not much difference between falling and being hit; it's all the same—just getting injured."

"What exactly happened?" Yao Xingji asked.

"Alright, you'll have to face these things sooner or later, and I really should tell you." Koji hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

“Life is not easy for us orphans in Konoha, especially at school. You not only face the teachers, but also... discrimination and bullying from other students.”

“After all, no one will stand up for orphans like us,” Koji said with a wry smile.

Chapter 84 The Orphans of Konoha

Yao Xingji's eyes widened slightly, and he was stunned for a moment.

Xiaosi patted Yaoxingji's head and said, "Here, we have no one to rely on but ourselves."

"Actually, I'm used to it. Being bullied is a common occurrence. I've developed a set of ways to protect myself, and now it's just that I occasionally get into trouble."

Yao Xingji nodded.

School bullying is something that happens everywhere.

In fact, it gets even worse in Naruto, because it's a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Which orphan in Konoha hasn't been bullied? Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto, Sasuke... every single one of them suffered bullying, and that was even with the Third Hokage's extra attention. Not to mention the orphans without any background.

Even Itachi Uchiha, who used shadow clones to study at the Ninja Academy, was bullied, and his shadow clones were all destroyed.

Here, whoever has the biggest fist gets to live the best life. Take Minato Namikaze, for example; he seems to have never been bullied because no one could beat him. As for whether he was bullied when he first enrolled, we don't know.

“Hoshigumo, you are Tsunade’s disciple. You may experience less bullying when you enter the Ninja Academy, but it’s impossible to completely avoid it unless you can defeat them and make them afraid to fight you,” Koji said.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about me. My body isn't that fragile. I recover very quickly. For injuries like this, I basically won't feel anything by tomorrow."

Seeing that Yao Xingji's expression was still not good, Xiaosi comforted him.

“I will treat you,” Yao Xingji said.

"This... alright." Xiaosi originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that this was what Yao Xingji had learned, and since he was injured, he could also do some practice. So, being beaten wasn't entirely a bad thing.

"The Eye of Salvation".

Red ripples emanated from Yao Xingji's eyes as his gaze locked onto the injured area beneath Xiaosi's clothes, and he began treatment.

"what?"

Xiaosi was still waiting for Yaoxingji to use his palm immortal technique, but before Yaoxingji could even make a move, he felt a tingling sensation in his calf, followed by a warm current that spread throughout his body.

“You…” Koji looked shocked.

He knew that Yao Xingji had awakened a pupil technique, but he didn't know the specific effects of this technique. It wasn't until this moment that he realized how powerful Yao Xingji's awakened pupil technique was.

The ability to directly see injuries and provide remote treatment is practically made for medical ninjas.

[Healing ninja complete, increased own chakra by 1%!]

[I have acquired a portion of the Sage Body of the Uzumaki Clan!]

[Gain the power to create the Azure!]

After treating one wound, Yao Xingji immediately returned and received a reward from the Heart of the Universe.

However, Yao Xingji was stunned when he saw the reward details.

How come it's a Celestial Body from the Uzumaki Clan?

Isn't Kodera a member of the Senju clan? I obtained Wood Release from him, could I be mistaken?

Koji's hair is also black, not red. However, the color of hair inherited in Naruto is very mysterious, and it is impossible to completely determine a ninja clan based on their hair.

"Wait, Hashirama Senju's wife, Mito Uzumaki, was from the Uzumaki clan. So, according to this logic, anyone directly related to Hashirama Senju should possess blood from both clans. What about Kodera…?"

At this moment, Yao Xingji looked at Xiaosi with a strange gaze. Could it be that Tsunade's father had cheated on her?

Not necessarily. The original work doesn't mention how many children Hashirama Senju had.

"What's wrong?" Xiaosi asked, puzzled, when he saw Yao Xingji staring blankly.

"Ah, it's nothing..." Yao Xingji said, coming back to his senses.

"Is your chakra insufficient? Never mind, there's really no need for treatment. My body recovers very quickly. Remember when you fell into the dry well? After you treated me, you only stopped the bleeding, and I was healed on my own the next day. So as long as the wound doesn't bleed and doesn't affect my mobility, it's fine," Koji said.

Does it allow for a fast recovery?

Isn't this a characteristic of the Senju and Uzumaki clans?

In Naruto, Naruto's recovery speed is legendary; he's practically an unkillable cockroach.

As for the Senju clan's regenerative abilities, just look at Hashirama Senju; they're practically unkillable. Remember when Hashirama, in order to make the Uchiha clan let go of their feud, threatened to stab himself with a knife in front of Madara Uchiha? This deeply moved Madara, who then put aside the enmity between the two clans and founded Konoha.

But when Madara Uchiha discovered after being resurrected using Edo Tensei that Tsunade, Hashirama Senju's granddaughter, couldn't even be killed by Susanoo, he had a "mmp" (a vulgar expression) he wanted to say.

"Brother Xiaosi, how is your talent in ninjutsu?"

While asking questions, Yao Xingji began to use his Palm Immortal Technique to treat the injuries on other parts of Xiaosi's body.

"Ninjutsu? My ninjutsu isn't very good. Although I'm not the worst, I'm still..." Koji scratched his head sheepishly.

His ninjutsu is indeed not very good; now he can't even succeed with the simplest Three Body Technique every time.

"What about physical techniques?" Yao Xingji continued to ask.

"My taijutsu is alright. I'm quite strong and have a lot of chakra, but my combat skills aren't great. Overall, I'm just average," Koji said.

The learning at the Ninja Academy is at best a very basic level. The content taught is roughly equivalent to basic literacy in the real world. If you want to learn something real, sorry, even the teachers don't know those things, so how can they teach them?

Look at all the named ninjas in Naruto. Which one of them wasn't trained by a powerful teacher, or had a powerful family background? Otherwise, most of them would have been cannon fodder sent to the battlefield.

Of all the orphans in Konoha, only a few stand out and attract the village's attention, such as Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru.

But there are actually quite a few talented ninjas, it's just that Konoha doesn't have the ability to develop and train them one by one.

People like the Senju and Uzumaki clans, in particular, may not have a distinctive bloodline limit, but their physical strength is widely recognized. However, this talent requires constant training and development, and a good teacher to guide them. Obviously, orphans like Koji have nothing.

"Is there any way to quickly improve someone else's strength?" Yao Xingji wondered to himself.

Those idiots at the ninja academy will only stop bullying people if we beat them into submission. But Yao Xingji can't directly intervene, which makes things a bit tricky.
