The other parents chimed in.

They were wary of Tsunade's involvement, but their child had suffered such severe injuries, and now they were hearing a completely different account. You can imagine how they felt.

Hearing the rebuttals from the others, Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade, Yakusei, and the others all frowned.

Is this a Rashomon-like situation?

They were talking about the same thing, but the process and the result were completely different.

Uchiha Mie and the other parents didn't seem to be lying, but Koji didn't need to injure them so badly, especially with Yamato as a witness.

"That's not how it works. I did use Super Strength in the fight, but I haven't been learning how to use Super Strength for very long. When I fought all five of them, I only managed to knock them down. It's impossible for me to seriously injure them all by myself," Koji immediately said.

He was careful not to go too far when he did it, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

"So you two are lying together!" Uchiha Mie looked at Koji and Yamato with an icy expression.

"Tell me your name, whose child are you, and why are you lying?"

"I'm not lying, I..." Yamato kept shaking his head. He couldn't say his name or his parents because he didn't have a name or parents.

Seeing Yamato's state, Miho Uchiha was certain that Yamato was lying.

"Still being stubborn. You can't even say your own name. Who exactly are you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Uchiha Mie walked towards Yamato.

At that moment, Yao Xingji secretly used his chakra under the cover of the Heart of the Universe.

"Manipulation of the five senses!"

The Kurama clan's bloodline limit was activated, and the illusion was cast directly. Because the power was very weak, no one noticed anything unusual.

Yao Xingji's target was not Uchiha Mie, but Yamato, who was currently in a state of panic.

In Yamato's eyes, Uchiha Mie, who was walking towards him, suddenly pulled out a kunai and stabbed it into his chest.

Chapter 121 Behind the Incident

"do not want!"

When Yamato saw Uchiha Mie suddenly attack him, his expression changed drastically. He screamed in terror and instinctively formed hand seals.

"Wood Release·Wooden Spindle Wall!"

bang bang bang...

Several thin wooden barriers appeared in front of Yamato, blocking Uchiha Mie's path.

At that moment, the entire Hokage's office was deathly silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yamato and the thin wooden wall in front of him.

"What happened? I heard that a child from the Uchiha clan was beaten..."

Bang!

The door to the Hokage's office was suddenly flung open, and Danzo rushed in.

Upon learning that Yamato had been taken away by the Anbu, Danzo rushed over immediately to prevent any unforeseen events.

However, the moment he entered the Hokage's office, he saw the terrified Yamato and the wooden ingot wall formed by his Wood Release technique.

"You know Wood Release? Who are you?" Uchiha Mie looked at Yamato in shock.

She only wanted to force Yamato to tell the truth, but she didn't expect that just by getting close, the child would be so terrified that he would immediately use ninjutsu.

If it were any other ninjutsu, it would just prove that the child is talented and has learned ninjutsu at a young age.

But things are different now; this child is using Wood Release.

It is a Wood Release secret technique that only the First Hokage could use.

Wait, no, we need to add one more person now, namely, the Soul Calamity Seeker Ming Shiyin.

The Uchiha clan members looked at each other in disbelief, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen.

This child, who came from who-knows-where, suddenly used the Wood Release technique in front of everyone. What is he trying to do?

Swish!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's body suddenly disappeared from behind the table, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Yamato.

"Where did you get your Wood Release technique? What's your name?" Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed Yamato's hand and asked urgently.

There was actually a child in Konoha who knew Wood Release, and he, as the Hokage, didn't even know that.

At this moment, Yamato looked terrified and confused.

He instinctively used Wood Release to defend himself after seeing the danger, but when he came to his senses, he found that Uchiha Miho had no kunai in her hand. So what was that scene he just saw?

It's important to know that Danzo forbade him from using Wood Release in front of others, but now, he not only used Wood Release, but he did so in front of so many high-ranking officials of Konoha. What does that mean...?

Finished!

Faced with everyone's attention, Yamato subconsciously looked at Danzo, who had just entered the Hokage's office.

At this moment, Danzo was grinding his teeth to powder.

Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed Yamato's gaze, and so did everyone else. They all looked at Danzo.

"Danzo, what's going on?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked directly.

Danzo clenched his fist tightly, knowing that he had raised this child in vain.

"Jia is a child with a talent for Wood Release that I discovered by chance," Danzo said with a grim expression.

No one noticed the faint smile playing on the lips of Yakusei, who was standing next to Tsunade.

“We’ll talk about this later,” Hiruzen Sarutobi said, giving Danzo a deep look before taking a breath.

The matter of Wood Release is of great importance, and there are many people and eyes around, especially members of the Uchiha clan, so the matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

But after this commotion, things suddenly became complicated.

What started as a simple student brawl has escalated to the point where it has not only involved the Uchiha and Senju clans but has also brought Wood Release into the picture.

Furthermore, the investigation results from the Konoha Police Force and the Anbu differed significantly, making the whole affair seem rather strange.

Yao Xingji originally thought it was just a dispute caused by a fight, which led to the parents getting involved.

However, when he discovered that some of the parents were from the Uchiha clan, and that the injured child's condition had clearly worsened, he realized that there might be a problem.

Some people seem to want to stir up trouble, or even conflict and confrontation.

The Uchiha clan's child was severely injured, and this Uchiha Mie is likely Uchiha Mikoto's older or younger sister. Given the pride of the Uchiha clan, it's impossible for them to let the matter rest so easily, as the child of someone who holds a certain status within the Uchiha clan is severely injured.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan is currently at its peak, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the most prestigious clan in Konoha. Whether it is for the sake of the clan's reputation or to discuss the matter objectively, this matter can only develop in one direction and be investigated to the end!

As for Yao Xingji, many people in Konoha know that he is Tsunade's disciple. Involving him is equivalent to involving Tsunade, and even the nearly vanished Senju clan behind Tsunade.

Furthermore, if there is sufficient investigation into Yakusei, it is easy to find out that Yakusei has a good relationship with Kakashi and the ANBU captain Sakumo Hatake, which is another force in Konoha.

In this way, a small squabble between children can quickly escalate out of control.

As for Yamato, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea from Yakusei, who wanted to annoy Danzo and rescue Yamato from Danzo's clutches, thus also involving Danzo's Root organization in the matter.

Since things were already a mess, Yao Xingji decided to make them even muddier.

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was somewhat oppressive.

Many people realized the problem; those present were all intelligent. They had been led by the nose when things were unclear in the early stages, but now that they had discovered the anomaly, they naturally wouldn't continue making trouble.

Tsunade frowned in thought, Orochimaru stared at Yamato in a daze, Fugaku Uchiha stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought, Danzo cursed Miho Uchiha with a gloomy face, and Sakumo Hatake remained calm, pretending to know nothing.

Of the three children, Yamato and Koji were similar, both feeling scared, apprehensive, and bewildered. Only Yakusei, after understanding the true nature of the incident, looked at everyone with a cute expression.

“Clan leader, Qi has really been seriously injured and is still unconscious in bed. I…” Although Uchiha Mie has a fiery personality, she had obviously realized something at this moment, but as a mother, she was still worried about her child’s condition.

“Mihui, about this matter…” Uchiha Fugaku frowned.

“Captain Fugaku, if you trust me, I can go and check on Uchiha Sai,” Tsunade said.

“I believe what Koji said, that Uchiha Qi wasn’t seriously injured, and I also believe what you all said, that Uchiha Qi is now seriously injured and lying in bed. There must be some misunderstanding here, but the most important thing right now is the child’s health. Perhaps when he wakes up, there will be a different explanation.”

Things always need to be resolved, and Tsunade has essentially given the Uchiha a way out.

"It would be great if Tsunade could go and check on Uchiha Ki's condition. I also believe there must be some misunderstanding here." Uchiha Fugaku was as shrewd as he was, and after sensing that something was wrong, he immediately seized the opportunity to back down.

"Tsunade-sensei, I'll go with you. Maybe I can help. Besides, I also want to clear my name and Tera's name of suspicion," Yakusei said earnestly.

Yao Xingji had no control over how this happened. All he could do was turn the unfavorable situation into the most favorable one and profit from it!

Opportunities to fleece the Uchiha clan are rare; they have their own clan's exclusive medical ninjas who almost never appear at Konoha Hospital. Being used this time has given Yao Xingji an excellent chance to get close to this top Konoha clan.

Chapter 122 Uchiha Shisui

“Okay, you can come with me.” Tsunade nodded.

Yao Xingji's Eye of Salvation is very effective in treating internal injuries, and it can not only help but also make it easier to detect the problems with Uchiha Qi's injuries.

Fugaku Uchiha didn't say anything about it; it was just a matter of a master taking his disciple to broaden his horizons.

Uchiha Mie was somewhat dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything. After all, Tsunade's willingness to check on her son's injuries was already a great favor to them.

"Go and check on the situation. Report back immediately if anything happens." The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, waved his hand, indicating that everyone could leave. He still had matters to attend to in Yamato.

Soon, Tsunade, along with Yakusei and Koji, left with the Uchiha clan, and the other parents naturally followed closely behind.

On the Anbu side, Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi followed. They represented the Hokage's direct subordinates, essentially the Hokage's eyes. With the matter escalating to such a degree, they naturally had to investigate the truth and report back to the Hokage.

After everyone left, only Orochimaru, Danzo, and a bewildered Kagami remained in the Hokage's office.

"Danzo, speak!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was grim. "Where did this child come from?"

He could forgive Danzo for other things, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was very unhappy about him keeping Wood Release ninjas.

Wood Release is related to the village's future and also to the Nine-Tails, especially after the incident with Ming Shi Yin, Konoha has restarted its research on Wood Release.

Even under such circumstances, Danzo secretly harbored a Wood Release ninja, unknown even to Danzo himself, the Hokage of Konoha. What was Danzo planning? Was he going to control the Nine-Tails to rebel?
