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

Chapter 116 Brutal Beating

“Kono, no matter who treats your injury, it will leave a scar in the end. You can’t blame my brother for that.” Koji said, forcing a smile as he looked at the long scar on Kono’s arm.

“I don’t care, if he’s left with a scar, that’s his problem,” He said savagely.

"Exactly, what's with this little brat acting all high and mighty? He even went to the hospital to treat his wound, and now that there's a problem, who else are we going to blame but you?"

Kono pushed Koji hard, "Either you erase the scars, or you both get the same scars today."

Koji's fists clenched slightly, his face pale. Looking at the group in front of him, he forced a smile and said, "Kono, we are classmates after all. Let's just let this go, okay? Just give me some face."

"Give you face? Who do you think you are!" Kono sneered, kicking Koji to the ground.

"Trash is trash, a piece of junk born of a mother but raised by one."

Yao Xingji looked at the children in front of him, then glanced at Xiao Si, who was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up, and sighed inwardly.

This is Konoha, he can't make a move here, and quite a few people around are already watching.

But who cares?

So what if he's caused trouble? He's determined to teach these guys a lesson today.

boom!

However, just as Yao Xingji was about to make a move, Xiao Si suddenly intervened.

He leaped off the ground and punched Kono in front of him. The whole process was as fast as lightning, giving Kono no time to react.

Bang!

Kono was sent flying by Kodera's punch, blood flowing freely.

He never expected that Koji, who usually ran away when he saw them and let them bully him when they caught him, would suddenly attack and hurt people.

"Hit him!"

The other boys were initially stunned, not expecting that Xiaosi would dare to attack them. After realizing what was happening, they immediately rushed forward and surrounded Xiaosi.

But Koji was not afraid and struck again at the group of people who rushed over.

Another punch sent an eight-year-old boy flying, his body slamming into a wall not far away.

"Damn, how can he be so strong?"

At this moment, they finally realized something was wrong. Koji's power was much greater than they had expected. Not to mention compared to the timid Koji before, he was not inferior to the older students or even the genin level.

"Damn it! I'm going to kill him today! Get him!"

Kono got up from the ground, touched his face, his hands were covered in blood, and suddenly became furious, flashing towards Koji.

Faced with the attack of several people, this time Koji did not run away, nor did he continue to be slaughtered. Instead, he chose to fight, to fight fearlessly.

Kono and his friends were stronger than Koji, and their families were also quite skilled ninjas who had provided them with decent training. This allowed them to rely on their superior strength to act arrogantly and domineeringly at the school, with no one able to stop them.

But today, Koji, who no longer chose to run away, showed them what true ferocity is.

Soon, Koji was also injured. After all, he was only one person. He was able to fight using his superhuman strength and initially managed to injure several people unexpectedly. However, when faced with a siege, he could only look for opportunities to counterattack while defending.

But this time, Koji learned his lesson and became smarter.

He knew he could take a beating, so he often chose to trade blows.

If you throw a punch at me, I might get hurt, but if my punch, imbued with superhuman strength, lands on you, it will cause you serious injury.

So, even though Koji is currently at a disadvantage and covered in injuries, in terms of sheer misery, Kono and the others are actually in a worse state.

When Yao Xingji saw this scene, a look of shock appeared on his face.

He hadn't expected Koji's counterattack to be so fierce and so reckless.

Perhaps this is the culmination of long-suppressed emotions.

"Salvation of the world..."

Seeing that Koji was injured, Yao Xingji planned to use the Eye of Salvation to heal him, but when he saw how reckless Koji was, he stopped.

This battle belongs to Kodera, so let Kodera defeat his former rival all by himself.

Heal your wounds until the battle is over.

The battle between the group grew increasingly intense, with the battlefield constantly shifting from the street to the nearby grove of trees.

It has to be said that Kono and his group do have some skill. In the world of ninjas, if you don't have any strength and still want to bully others, you'll only get beaten up.

Yao Xingji did not enter the woods, but stood outside watching.

He could see the battlefield, but he didn't participate, leaving everything to Koji himself.

Cries of pain and pleas for mercy could be heard intermittently, but the perpetrators showed no sign of stopping.

After an unknown amount of time, as darkness fell, the sounds of fighting in the grove finally subsided.

Immediately, a slow footstep came from the woods, and Koji emerged, covered in wounds and with large patches of blood on his clothes. However, judging from the situation, most of the blood did not belong to him.

His cheeks were swollen high, and he couldn't open one eye. If it weren't for his clothes, Yao Xingji wouldn't have recognized him as Xiao Si.

However, at this moment, Koji showed no sadness; he was smiling at Yaoxingji.

However, his smile at this moment looked somewhat comical due to the injuries on his face.

"Koji, how are you?"

Yao Xingji rushed forward, his Eye of Salvation activated, examining the injuries on Xiaosi's body.

His entire body was red, with very few green areas. However, the red wasn't very deep, indicating that most of the injuries were not serious and could be healed with simple treatment.

"I...I won."

Xiaosi said with a smile, but speaking aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

"Why push yourself so hard? You can save it for next time," Yao Xingji said.

He had previously thought that Koji would turn around and run away with him after defeating the others.

"No, we must defeat them this time, and scare them into submission!" Koji said fiercely.

"Are they alright?" Yao Xingji glanced at the woods; he was genuinely worried that Xiaosi had killed them.

In the last few minutes, Yao Xingji saw Xiaosi chasing and beating those teenagers.

"He won't die!" Xiaosi snorted, then put his arm around Yao Xingji's shoulder and said, "Let's go home."

"Okay!" Yao Xingji helped Xiao Si up.

On the road.

Xiao Si smiled and looked at Yao Xingji with confidence, saying, "Xingji, from now on, you should focus on being a good doctor. Leave the people you can't save to me!"

Yao Xingji's heart stirred, and he glanced at Xiao Si at this moment, noticing an unprecedented confident smile on his face.

After this battle, he was no longer the loser; he could protect his younger brother.

"Alright! Those who can't be cured, I'll leave them to you!" Yao Xingji laughed.

Chapter 117 Turning Black into White

On the street, Xiaosi supported Yaoxingji's shoulder as the two slowly walked towards Zhonghua's home.

In the woods not far away, a gaze watched Yao Xingji and Xiao Si gradually disappear into the distance. The clear eyes reflected their retreating figures, filled with hope, longing, and also disappointment...

Yao Xingji tilted his head slightly and noticed the owner of that gaze.

"Is it Yamato?" Yao Xingji wondered to himself.

After returning to Zhonghua, Yaoxing treated Xiaosi's injuries. With Xiaosi's own super strong recovery physique, most of Xiaosi's wounds had healed and scabbed over in just over an hour. It was estimated that he would be fully recovered in another day or two.

bang bang bang...

A knock came at the door. Yao Xingji and Xiao Si exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised that someone would come looking for them at this time.

"Kodera, Yakushi Hoshiki, come with me. The Hokage requests your presence!"

The courtyard gate opened, and standing outside was an ANBU ninja wearing a mask.

"Lord Hokage?" Koji was taken aback, glanced at Yao Xingji, and his face immediately turned pale.

He didn't know if there was a problem with the Lijiu Mountain Villa or something else, but in any case, it couldn't be anything good for the Hokage to be looking for them at this time.

"Let's go."

Yao Xingji didn't say anything. Together with Xiaosi, they followed the ANBU ninja all the way to the Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage, they've gone too far! They're openly beating people in Konoha! My son is still in the hospital with five fractures all over his body. This isn't just a childish squabble; it's murder!" a middle-aged man said angrily.

His voice was loud enough that even though Yao Xingji and Xiao Si were still in the corridor, they could clearly hear what was going on inside.

"That's right, if this matter isn't resolved, we'll take matters into our own hands and seek justice for our child!"

This time it was a woman's voice, equally intense and strained.

"Lord Hokage, it's not that we're being unreasonable. We can accept getting injured during training at the Ninja Academy. But being beaten up in the street, and with such serious injuries, is something I simply cannot accept. The person who did this must be severely punished!"

Another man's voice came through. Although he was trying to reason with them, his tone was very forceful, as if to say that he would not give up until they did as he said.

Hearing the sounds coming from the room, Koji's face turned much paler.

He felt good about beating people, but the consequences seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

"It's alright!" Yao Xingji said in a very low voice.

Immediately, the two entered the Hokage's office, led by an Anbu ninja.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Yao Xingji and Xiaosi, and several ninjas whom Yao Xingji had never seen before immediately revealed fierce looks to them.

"So you're the ones who hit my son?" one of them asked.

"If someone is so heartless at such a young age, what will they be like when they grow up?"

"It's unbelievable what's wrong with kids these days. Doesn't anyone discipline them?"
