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

"I accidentally..." Danzo began, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Don't say such nonsense."

Danzo's facial muscles twitched slightly as he glanced at Orochimaru beside him.

"It was cultivated illegally by the Root organization when they were researching Wood Release. We don't know if there are any problems with this cultivation, so we haven't told the village yet. We plan to wait until Kagami grows up and see how things go before making any decisions. I believe you can all see that Kagami's Wood Release power is limited. Let alone comparing him to the First Hokage, he's worlds apart from even that Ming Shi Yin," Danzo said.

He didn't betray Orochimaru because he still had some things to cooperate with Orochimaru on, especially now that Kagami had been exposed, he needed Orochimaru's help even more.

At this moment, Orochimaru had already recognized the child in front of him who was using Wood Release. Wasn't he the last child in the experiment that he had given up?

He simply never expected that one child would survive the experiment, which was proven to be a failure, and actually possess the Wood Release technique.

This greatly increased his desire to continue his research.

The example of A shows that his experimental direction was correct and that there was a possibility of success, which is enough. As for the cases of death, they are not important.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Danzo, knowing that Danzo wasn't telling the truth.

He also glanced at Orochimaru, who was not far away.

This child was most likely created by his disciple, but Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know the specific methods used, though it certainly wasn't through normal means.

Now that things have come to this, there's no need for him to dwell on it. Besides, the existence of Jia is actually beneficial to Konoha.

"I'll believe you for now. This child will be placed in Konoha's Anbu from now on. Root, don't interfere anymore, or don't blame me for being impolite," Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly.

He chose to turn a blind eye.

"Yes." Danzo clenched his fists and said coldly.

He had already anticipated this outcome when A was exposed, and indeed, there was no surprise.

"Go down." Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, seemingly not wanting to see Danzo again.

Without saying a word, Danzo turned and left.

When he walked up to Jia, he glared at Jia. If Jia hadn't disobeyed his orders and used the Wood Release technique in front of so many people, this would not have happened.

He originally wanted to see Uchiha and Tsunade fight to the death, but unexpectedly, Tsunade and Uchiha were fine in the end, while he lost his armor.

"Dan... Lord Danzo."

A, pale-faced, called out cautiously.

Ignoring A's calls, Danzo turned and left.

"Orochimaru, what do you think of this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked his disciple.

"What is it that you mean, teacher?" Orochimaru asked calmly.

"About this child."

"It should be related to the cells of the First Hokage. If I give this child to study for a while, I might be able to find the secret of Wood Release," Orochimaru said calmly.

He did want to study Jia, after all, this child was the result of his previous research, and Orochimaru could gain more research value from him.

"Leave this child to the Anbu for now. You take care of your own business, and it's best not to touch anything dangerous," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

"Yes, teacher." Orochimaru nodded.

the other side.

Uchiha family.

Walking through the bustling, tidy residential area, the Uchiha clan's fan-shaped emblem could be seen everywhere. Everyone nodded in greeting when they saw Uchiha Fugaku approaching.

The Uchiha clan members were mostly surprised to see Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake walking with Fugaku Uchiha, but they didn't show any significant change in attitude. Overall, apart from their arrogance, the Uchiha clan at this time was not as bad as rumored, and was actually quite prosperous.

Who could have imagined that the once-powerful Uchiha clan would be wiped out overnight just ten years later, becoming a topic of conversation in the ninja world?

Suddenly, Yao Xingji felt a gaze upon him.

Unlike other members of the Uchiha clan, whose arrogant gazes wouldn't linger on Yao Xingji, this gaze was different.

Following the feeling of being spied on, Yao Xingji saw a child playing on the side of the street. His gaze seemed to have come over unintentionally, but his pure eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry.

"It's him!"

Yao Xingji recognized the child at a glance. The child was a little over a year older than him, with black hair, but had a 'bun nose' that was rare among the Uchiha clan. It was this feature that made him recognize the child's identity at a glance.

"Uchiha Shisui!"

This is a ninja who, despite being long gone from the ninja world in the Naruto story, still influences many things in the ninja world.

He exists only in the memories of some people, yet he plays a role that others cannot imagine.

Especially his eyes.

Regarding the timing of Yamato's production and Orochimaru's defection.

Many people are asking why Yamato appeared before Orochimaru even defected. Here's an explanation.

First of all, Yamato appeared in the second part, at which time his age was set to be 27 years old. Working backward, Yamato should have been born in Konoha in 38, which is four years younger than Kakashi, which fits the age difference between the two.

Secondly, it is certain that when Konoha recommended the Fourth Hokage in 47, Orochimaru was still in Konoha, and Danzo had recommended Orochimaru as the Fourth Hokage at that time, indicating that Orochimaru had not yet defected. At that time, Yamato was already nine years old, so how could he still be soaking in the solution?

Secondly, when Orochimaru defected, the Third Hokage had already returned to power, meaning Minato Namikaze was already dead. This would have been 48 years after the events of Konoha, possibly 50 years later. By then, Yamato would already be a teenager. If we take Orochimaru's defection as Yamato's production date, Yamato's age might be even younger than Naruto's. Therefore, it's certain that Yamato's experiment was something Danzo picked up after Orochimaru abandoned it, and that Yamato was nurtured from a young age, not something that happened when Orochimaru defected.

Finally, there are many plot holes in the timeline of Naruto. We, the authors, only chose to write the reasonable and generally accepted timelines. There is no need to be overly critical.

that's all.

Chapter 123 Blood

Seemingly noticing Yao Xingji's gaze, Uchiha Shisui smiled politely and nodded at Yao Xingji.

Faced with such a polite Uchiha Shisui, Yakusei returned the smile.

Soon, the group arrived at the core area of ​​the Uchiha clan.

Upon arriving here, the surrounding noise noticeably subsided, and ordinary clansmen were no longer visible. Yao Xingji's gaze swept across the area, spotting numerous guards lurking in the shadows, not counting the Konoha police patrolling in the open.

"Fugaku, Miho, you're back. Saki's condition is not optimistic. The medical ninja said that she may suffer serious aftereffects."

As the group approached a house, a woman came out carrying a baby over a year old. She looked anxious and was comforting the child as she spoke.

"How could this happen? I said it could be cured when I left." Uchiha Mie's face turned pale instantly. Ignoring the others around her, she rushed into the house.

"Mikoto, don't worry, Tsunade has already agreed to treat Qi, he'll be alright." Fugaku Uchiha took the child from Mikoto Uchiha's arms and comforted her.

"Tsunade? Ah, Tsunade, thank you, it's so kind of you to help." Uchiha Mikoto hadn't noticed Tsunade walking behind her until her husband mentioned her, at which point she realized Tsunade had arrived.

Tsunade is renowned in the ninja world as a medical genius; injuries that others cannot heal can be miraculously cured by Tsunade.

However, Tsunade hadn't made a move in a long time, and the Uchiha clan had almost never thought they could ask this great deity for help in treating their illness.

"I will do my best." Tsunade nodded.

They entered Uchiha Mie's house together.

Yao Xingji glanced at the baby being held in Uchiha Fugaku's arms, and he knew that this was the future Uchiha Itachi.

"What happened?"

A familiar voice interrupted Yao Xingji's thoughts.

Obito Uchiha had sneaked over at some point and quietly asked Kakashi a question.

He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know the specifics. It was only when he saw that Uchiha Fugaku, Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade, and the others had arrived that he realized the problem might be serious.

"Uchiha Saki got attacked, and Hoshino and Koji got involved, so we came to check it out together," Kakashi said simply.

“So that’s how it is…” Obito Uchiha frowned.

As they spoke, the group had already entered the house.

Uchiha Qi lay on a bed, his whole body wrapped in a lot of bandages, many of which were still bleeding. It was clear that his injuries were very serious.

"This... how could it be so serious? I really didn't hit him that hard. He could still walk on his own in the end..." Koji's face turned extremely pale when he saw Uchiha Qi at this moment.

The injuries were completely different from when he left.

"If anything happens to my son, I will make you pay with your life!" Uchiha Mie said angrily.

"Mihui, this matter hasn't been investigated thoroughly yet, so don't jump to conclusions," Fugaku Uchiha immediately said, frowning.

“Captain, Qi…” Uchiha Mie wanted to say something, but was stopped by Uchiha Fugaku with a sharp look.

"Let's check on the child's injuries first," Fugaku Uchiha said directly.

Tsunade approached Uchiha Chi and began to examine his injuries. The Uchiha clan's medical ninja was explaining Uchiha Chi's condition.

However, Tsunade's complexion was not good, especially when she noticed the bloodstains showing through the bandages, her face turned noticeably pale.

"Tsunade's hemophobia may be about to flare up!" Yao Xingji's expression shifted.

Normally, Shizune would be the one to check the injuries in Tsunade's place at this time, but since Shizune isn't here, Tsunade has to step in herself. Other ailments might be manageable, but these external injuries are almost impossible for Tsunade to treat.

"Teacher, let me do it!"

Yao Xingji squeezed through the crowd.

"Get out of here," Uchiha Mie snapped.

Yao Xingji is Xiaosi's younger brother and the culprit who beat her son. How could she possibly let Yao Xingji have contact with her son? Who knows what that child is up to?

“I am also a medical ninja,” Yao Xingji said.

"You? A medical ninja?" Uchiha Mie sneered. "Then I'm even less likely to believe you!"

If a hostile medical ninja were to tamper with the examination, it might go undetected by others.

“What are you doing, a child?” said one of the Uchiha clan members.

"Starry Sky, you just watch from the side," Tsunade said, frowning.

Yao Xingji remained silent and stepped aside.

The examination continued, and Tsunade began to use Healing Palm Technique to help Uchiha Qi's blood. However, due to her hemophobia, Tsunade dared not look at Uchiha Qi, but the treatment effect was not bad at all.

The same Healing Palm Technique had vastly different effects on Tsunade compared to the Uchiha medical ninja. Soon, Uchiha Chi, who was still bleeding, recovered considerably.
