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

The difference is whether he was being chased away or he left beforehand.

If there is really no other way, then Yao Xingji will have no choice but to force his way through the gates of Konoha Village.

"What makes you want to leave the village?" Koji asked, frowning.

He sensed that Yao Xingji was acting strangely today, but seeing how serious Yao Xingji looked, he didn't think Yao Xingji was joking with him.

"It's something very important." Yao Xingji still didn't elaborate.

He couldn't explain these things to Koji, and it was best for Koji not to know about them, otherwise it would only lead to his death.

Seeing Yao Xingji's expression, Xiaosi didn't ask any more questions, but instead began to frown and ponder.

"The management of Konoha Village is very strict now. Due to the unstable situation in the ninja world, coupled with the last attack by Kirigakure, the village gates are almost closed at night. Unless there is a special need to leave, ordinary people cannot leave the village," Koji said.

"Isn't there any other way?" Yao Xingji asked, frowning.

If Koji can't get out of the village, he'll most likely have no choice but to force his way out.

As a member of the Anbu, Kakashi likely has a way to get Yao Xingji to leave, but that's assuming Yao Xingji and Kakashi are still friends. Now that Yao Xingji is in this state, practically declaring "I'm going to escape," Kakashi will probably side with him without hesitation.

After carefully considering the people he knew, Yao Xingji realized that there were very few people he could turn to for help.

Because whether it's Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake, or Minato Namikaze, the premise for these people to help him is that he is a member of Konoha.

Now that Yao Xingji has left Konoha, it goes without saying that they will notice something is wrong. At that time, let alone helping Yao Xingji, not arresting him would be giving him face.

“There are other ways, but we can’t use those methods,” Koji said with a wry smile.

If it's a major clan in Konoha, who cares if your gates are closed or not? There are plenty of ways to get in and out.

"Then it seems I can only rely on myself," Yao Xingji thought with a somber expression.

Forcing his way in would be the worst option. He could use transformation techniques, but he didn't know what kind of proof was needed to leave Konoha. He couldn't fake that, so he could only use transformation techniques to get close to the Konoha gate and then rush out when the guarding ninjas checked him.

Bang bang bang.

Suddenly, a knock came at the door, causing Yao Xingji's expression to change drastically.

"Did it come so fast?"

Yao Xingji directly extracted the chakra within his body, ready to strike at any moment.

"Is Hoshino-kun there? This is Kurama Shohei." The voice came from outside the door; it was Kurama Shohei, the leader of the first group of the Dark Unit Special Training Team.

"Who is this? Should we open the door?" Koji asked from the side.

After what had just happened, Xiaosi clearly sensed that something was wrong, so when he heard the knocking, he didn't run to open the door, but instead immediately asked Yaoxingji if he wanted to open it.

After pondering for a moment, Yao Xingji asked, "Senior Xiangping, is there anything I can help you with?"

“I was in a hurry during the day and didn’t have time to thank you for your treatment, so I came here specifically to thank you. Also, our clan leader asked me to give you a gift,” Kurama Shohei said from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Yao Xingji pondered for a moment, then ran over and opened the courtyard gate.

"I'm sorry, Senior Shohei. I've encountered too many things before, so I'm being extra cautious tonight," Yao Xingji said apologetically.

"It's alright, I understand," Kurama Shohei said with a smile, clearly having already researched Yakusei's information and learned about the Konoha orphanage and the Kirigakure attack.

"The name 'Flower Country' is quite unique, and the flowers and plants in your yard are much prettier than those outside," Kurama Shohei said as he entered the yard.

"I just planted them casually when I had nothing else to do," Yao Xingji said casually.

Kurama Shohei seemed to sense that Yao Xingji was distracted, so he didn't go any further inside and instead took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yao Xingji.

"Here are three million taels. Firstly, to thank you for your treatment this morning. Secondly, the clan chief learned that you are willing to study the physical condition of our clan, so this is an advance payment for your consultation. Consider it a form of financial assistance. Don't feel pressured. It would be best if you could develop a medical solution, but it's okay if you can't," Kurama Shohei said with a smile.

Xiao Si, who was standing next to Yao Xingji, had his mouth agape in an "O" shape. It was the first time he had ever seen so much money.

Yao Xingji glanced at the silver note with three million taels printed on it, then looked at Kurama Shohei.

“This…is too much,” Yao Xingji said.

"Not much. It takes a lot of resources for a medical ninja to achieve something. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to the Kurama clan to find us. As long as it's within our power, our clan can help you." Kurama Shohei said calmly.

After saying this with a smile, Kurama Shohei didn't stay any longer. He stuffed the money into Yao Xingji's hand and turned to leave.

"Senior Shohei."

Just as Kurama Shohei was about to leave China, Yao Xingji called out.

"Is there anything else, Hoshino-kun?" Kurama Shohei asked.

"There's something I want to talk to you about. Let's go inside and talk," Yao Xingji said directly.

Shohei Kurama was taken aback, but quickly nodded and went back into the Chinese house.

A delicate floral fragrance filled the air, and Yao Xing's tiny stature made him appear completely disproportionate standing next to Kurama Shohei.

"You can say whatever you want without worrying about formalities. I don't care about those things." Kurama Shohei squatted down and looked at Yakusei Kyodo at eye level.

"Senior, I have some business to attend to and need to leave Konoha Village now. I wonder if you have any way to help me?" Yao Xingji asked bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Shohei Kurama's expression immediately changed, his smile vanished, and he adopted a solemn look.

For a three-year-old child to leave Konoha late at night is definitely not normal. As the leader of the Anbu training group, Kurama Shohei knew without a doubt that something was wrong.

Time ticked by, Yao Xingji waited, while Kurama Shohei's expression shifted between light and shadow.

After a long silence, Kurama Shohei looked into Yao Xingji's eyes and asked, "Will you come back?"

Chapter 99 Satomi Hill Manor (Third Update)

Yao Xingji pondered for a moment and then said, "Not necessarily."

Kurama Shohei gave Yao Xingji a serious look, as if trying to read something from Yao Xingji's face.

After a long pause, Shohei Kurama nodded. "I understand."

Slowly standing up, Shohei Kurama frowned, seemingly deep in thought.

Yao Xingji waited quietly to the side.

Actually, he wasn't very confident that Kurama Shohei would help him, but things just happened to be so coincidental. When Yakusei desperately needed someone to arrange for him to leave Konoha, fate brought Kurama Shohei to him, so he decided to take a gamble.

If you lose, then kill someone and leave.

If you win, then leave quietly.

It's that simple.

"Lady Tsunade's disciple cured my illness, so I invited him to stay at the Kurama clan's Satomi Hill Manor for a few days. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Kurama Shohei said.

“That makes sense.” Yao Xingji nodded.

I have a strong impression of Satomi Hill Villa, the place where Yakumo Kurama was held captive in the Naruto anime. It's located on a mountain not far from Konoha Village, and the scenery is quite beautiful.

“Okay, I’ll go arrange it right away. You can pack your things now,” Kurama Shohei said directly.

"Can I come with you?" Koji, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Xiaosi, you..." Yao Xingji glanced at Xiaosi, knowing that he might never be able to return to Konoha after this journey.

“Wherever you go, I’ll go. I promised Kabuto I’d take good care of you,” Koji said.

“Okay, then you can come with me.” Yao Xingji thought for a moment and nodded to Kurama Shohei.

The latter didn't ask any more questions and immediately left the Chinese family to make preparations.

Koji didn't press the matter further and turned to go to his room to pack his things.

Yao Xingji pursed his lips. His identity had been exposed. If he left Xiaosi here, he would likely be investigated and face retaliation from Danzo and others. So, taking him with him was the best option.

About half an hour later, Shohei Kurama reappeared outside the Chinese family's house.

"Everything is ready. Just follow them and leave Konoha," Kurama Shohei said, pointing to several members of the Kurama clan not far away.

"Okay, thank you for this, Senior Kurama," Yao Xingji said.

"I told you before, come to me anytime if you need anything," Shohei Kurama said with a light laugh.

“Senior, you…” Yao Xingji looked up at Kurama Shohei, hesitating to speak.

"You want to ask me why I'm helping you, right?" Shohei Kurama said directly.

"Yes." Yao Xingji nodded.

"It's simple, you saved my life! With my injuries and the constitution of our Kurama clan, not only would I be unable to fight in the future, but I would also probably only have one or two years left to live. But your medical eye technique gave me back the hope of life."

"Furthermore, based on my understanding of your eye technique, it will definitely play a very strong role in the future. This may be the hope of our Kurama clan."

"To tell you the truth, our Kurama clan used to be a prestigious clan in Konoha, on par with the Uchiha clan. We contributed many powerful ninjas to Konoha. But now, our clan doesn't even have many Jonin left."

Kurama Shohei said with a sorrowful expression, "The fall of a great family was so silent and unexpected."

"Our clan's bloodline limit is very strong, but our physical constitution is generally weak. Coupled with years of war, more and more people are dying. In addition... hehe, some of the methods used by the Konoha higher-ups, our clan probably won't last much longer."

Yao Xingji listened silently without saying anything.

The tragedy of the Kurama clan cannot be summarized in just a few words by Kurama Shohei. They were as famous as the Uchiha clan, but the Uchiha clan was wiped out even earlier than the Kurama clan.

Although the Kurama clan eventually declined completely, at least a few members remained, and the clan itself was preserved. Then look at the equally renowned Uchiha clan, which was wiped out by the Konoha leadership, leaving only Sasuke. In terms of sheer tragedy, probably no other clan can compare.

"I don't need to know why you left Konoha, nor do I want to know the reasons. I just hope that if the Kurama clan ever needs help, you can lend a hand," Kurama Shohei said finally.

Konoha is just so-so.

Having experienced so much and fought so many battles, Shohei Kurama had long since come to terms with it all.

This village is no longer as glamorous as it appears on the surface; it's rotten to the core.

He was too lazy to care, and didn't want to care anymore.

Compared to Yao Xingji, a rising medical genius, Konoha is not that important.

"Senior Xiangping, keep this bottle of medicine. You can take one drop when you feel unwell. Remember, only take one drop each time. It will help your constitution. I will have someone send you more medicine when I have the chance in the future."

As soon as Yao Xingji finished speaking, he flipped his hand and took out a bottle of green liquid, handing it to Kurama Shohei.

Seeing Yao Xingji conjure something out of thin air, Kurama Shohei's gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself that this child was indeed extraordinary.

However, when he noticed the bottle of green liquid, Shohei Kurama's lips twitched involuntarily.

"Uh... are you sure this is medicine to cure the illness?" Kurama Shohei asked.
