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

"In that case, there might be hope for my Mangekyou Sharingan," Yao Xingji thought to himself, watching Uchiha Mie's departing figure.

Regarding the Sharingan, a kekkei genkai (bloodline limit) of dojutsu (eye technique), probably no one in the current ninja world understands it better than Yakusei.

The Sharingan originated from the descendants of Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, who are now the Uchiha clan.

It is commonly believed that the Senju clan values ​​love over ninjutsu as power, while the Uchiha clan prioritizes the power of ninjutsu. However, this is not the case.

No family has a deeper love than the Uchiha.

Once the Uchiha clan members understand love, their long-suppressed emotions will be released. However, excessively intense love hides the possibility of going berserk. Once the Uchiha clan members who understand love lose that intense love, their affection will be replaced by an even stronger hatred, and their entire personality will change drastically.

Yao Xingji had already seen a glimpse of this in Uchiha Mie. The recklessness and madness she displayed for her son still amazed Yao Xingji to this day.

During the process of drastic personality change, certain special symptoms will appear. When a member of the Uchiha clan loses an important love or suffers from their disappointment, a special chakra will surge in their brain, acting on the optic nerve and causing changes in their eyes. This is the eye that reflects the mind, the so-called Sharingan.

Yao Xingji speculated that if Uchiha Qi had died last night, Uchiha Mie might have even awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan directly. As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, the possibility was slim, as it depended on talent and not everyone could achieve it.

The Sharingan, synchronized with spiritual power, can rapidly enhance one's strength. Accompanied by the power of inner hatred, those members of the Uchiha clan who awaken intense emotions are almost all consumed by darkness and fall into evil paths. The deeper the darkness, the stronger the eye power, and the more difficult to deal with, just like Madara.

Therefore, after Yao Xingji understood the true nature of the Uchiha clan, he also understood the fate of the Uchiha clan in the manga.

He also found his answers to many things he didn't understand when he was a child, even if they weren't correct.

For example, Itachi Uchiha annihilated his own clan for the sake of peace in the village.

For example, Madara Uchiha firmly believed that the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which puts everyone in an illusion, could achieve lasting peace.

The truth is, if you view the Uchiha clan as a group with extreme personalities and prone to mental illness, many things become clear.

"I don't have the blood of the Uchiha clan. I only awakened the Sharingan using the Heart of the Universe, so I don't have that kind of hidden danger. However, if my Sharingan wants to evolve, I'll probably have to keep taking advantage of the Uchiha clan."

Thinking about this, Yao Xingji suddenly realized that there wasn't much going on.

"Damn, I suddenly realized this is a trap set by the Uchiha clan!"

"If I want the Sharingan to evolve, I have to keep exploiting the Uchiha clan. But if I keep exploiting them, I can't let the Uchiha clan be wiped out. Aren't I just trapping myself in this mess?"

"Forget it, I must be overthinking it." Yao Xingji shook his head.

A few days passed quickly.

To Yao Xingji's surprise, the incident involving Uchiha Qi actually spread the word about his powerful eye techniques and medical abilities in Konoha.

People flocked to China seeking his treatment for their injuries, as painless, non-surgical surgery has a very promising market prospect.

However, Yao Xingji rejected most of them, and his reasons were quite valid: insufficient chakra. In reality, Yao Xingji felt that their strength was too low, and there was nothing to exploit. As for those strong ninjas, Yao Xingji was quite happy to treat them.

So rumors started circulating that Yao Xingji disliked the weak and preferred the strong. But Yao Xingji didn't care. Let the rumors spread, he didn't care. Besides, such rumors could help him filter patients. This was called precise user targeting, so why not?

After more than ten days of this, Tsunade, along with Shizune, suddenly came to the Chinese family and found the medicine star.

"Hoshiguma, your teacher is leaving Konoha. Please take good care of yourself for the next while." Tsunade said gently, holding Hoshiguma tightly to her chest and kissing her forehead.

“This necklace was left to me by my great-grandfather. Now I’m giving it to you, hoping you can inherit his Will of Fire.” Tsunade took off the necklace she always wore around her neck and hung it around Yao Xingji’s neck.

In just a few seconds, Yao Xingji was caught in the crossfire of the face wash and was cursed twice by Tsunade with death.

Chapter 131 Farewell

Yao Xingji was stunned.

Why is Tsunade treating her like this? He didn't do anything to wrong her. Did Tsunade discover his true identity and want to get rid of him with a curse?

"With your talent, you might really become Hokage in the future. Your teacher looks forward to that day." Tsunade said with a smile, touching Yakusei's cheek.

The third curse.

Triple kill.

Yao Xingji was in tears; it was clear how much he wanted him dead.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Tsunade noticed that Yao Xingji's expression seemed a little off and asked in confusion.

"No, it's just that I can't bear to see Tsunade-sensei leave." Yao Xingji continued, tears streaming down his face.

The triple death curse! Everyone who experienced it before died. The first was Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, and the second was Tsunade's lover, Dan Kato. In the original work, only Naruto, with the protagonist's halo, survived Tsunade's triple death curse, but he was severely injured.

In short, anyone who gets a kiss on the forehead from Tsunade, receives the First Hokage's necklace, and is also given the Will of Fire is either dead or severely injured; the power of the curse is unimaginable.

"Junior brother, don't be sad. We will come back. We'll just travel around the mainland. This is something our teacher planned a long time ago," Jingyin said, stepping forward with some reluctance.

“I understand.” Yao Xingji nodded.

I thought to myself, "Fine, you can leave now, but why did you have to come here and curse me?"

However, after thinking about it for a moment, she realized that the so-called death curse was mostly just a joke from netizens, and Tsunade actually cared about him a lot.

In the original story, the only people Tsunade showed such care for were her younger brother and her lover—both the most important people to her. Now, Tsunade not only kissed his forehead but also gave him the First Hokage's necklace, demonstrating that she considers Yakusei a very important family member.

Thinking of this, Yao Xingji's expression improved considerably. He held onto the face wash tightly, unwilling to let go, as if he didn't want Tsunade to leave.

"Kid, you... never mind." Tsunade gritted her teeth.

Tsunade held Yao Xingji in a slightly inappropriate position, but considering that she was leaving and Yao Xingji was only a three-year-old child, she didn't say anything more.

"Starry Sky, these are some books that Tsunade left for you. They record some ninjutsu and methods to solve your chakra deficiency. There are detailed training processes inside. With your talent, you should have no problem learning them on your own." Shizune said, handing a large scroll to Starry Sky. It contained a large collection of Tsunade's collections and training notes.

"I was supposed to teach you this myself, but there wasn't time, so..."

Tsunade sighed and didn't continue.

"Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely cultivate diligently," Yao Xing nodded firmly.

"Okay, then I'm relieved. Take good care of yourself."

Tsunade held the medicine star in her arms with complete peace of mind, gave a few instructions, and then left with Shizune.

This departure will likely last for several years.

Watching Tsunade's departing figure, Yao Xingji felt somewhat disappointed.

For the few months he'd been in this world, Tsunade had been the one protecting and caring for him. Now, following the original story's trajectory, Tsunade had left Konoha, meaning that Yakushiro would be facing a relatively dangerous world.

Fortunately, he has now established good relations with the Kurama and Uchiha clans, so the precarious life he had before should be over.

Immediately, Yao Xingji's gaze fell on the crystal necklace on her chest.

This necklace, which came from the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, carries not only the Will of Fire, but also Tsunade's care for him.

With this necklace, anyone who wants to touch the Medicine Star Pole will have to think twice before unleashing Tsunade's wrath.

After all, you wouldn't just give away a necklace like that to a stranger for nothing.

This is a protective charm that Tsunade left for Yakusei before she left Konoha.

"So be it, I shouldn't be cursed to death. Besides, Nawaki, Kato Dan, and Naruto all want to become Hokage, but I don't."

"I have no interest in Naruto!"

Yao Xingji put on the necklace, picked up the scroll which was even taller than him, and returned to his room.

The main gate of Konoha.

"Tsunade-sensei, are we really leaving like this? Hoshiguma..." Shizune turned back to look at the village where she had lived for more than ten years, her eyes filled with deep reluctance.

“I have made sufficient preparations. Xingji will be fine. On the contrary, my presence in Konoha Village will make him more unsafe,” Tsunade said, shaking her head.

"But..." Shizune wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't.

Because she knew that Tsunade actually cared about the medicine even more than she did.

In the days leading up to her departure, Tsunade visited many people: the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, Sakumo Hatake, and even Danzo and Fugaku Uchiha. While it's unclear what she discussed with them, it's almost certainly related to the medicine, Star Extinction.

"Let's go. By the time I come back next time, he might be a handsome young man." Tsunade smiled and walked out of Konoha.

China is a land of flowers.

As evening fell, the stars shone brightly.

puff.

A pebble fell into the pond in the backyard, shattering the reflection of the starry sky.

Yao Xingji's expression shifted. He opened his window and looked into the backyard, where he saw a figure leaning against a tree.

“I thought you were already asleep,” the shadowy figure said.

"I was looking at the scroll left by Tsunade-sensei and didn't notice what was going on outside for a moment," Yao Xingji said with a smile.

"What's matter?"

"I've come to say goodbye!" the shadowy figure said.

"Saying goodbye? You're leaving too?" Yao Xingji frowned, turned over and jumped out of the window, arriving at the pond.

"The border situation is tense, I have to go to the front line." The dark figure leaped down from the tree, his silver hair reflected in the starlight.

Yao Xingji looked at Kakashi, unsure of what to say.

“You should be quite safe in Konoha now. I heard from my father that before Tsunade left, she specifically asked many people to take care of you. Moreover, you have a good relationship with the Uchiha clan now, and Root's attention is focused on the war on the front lines. No one will be able to harm you anymore,” Kakashi said.

"Mm." Yao Xingji nodded.

"Alright, I just wanted to say goodbye. I don't know why, but I felt like you understood how I felt." Kakashi smiled, ruffled Yakusei's hair, turned around, and leaped up, disappearing behind the fence.

“They’re all gone,” Yao Xingji murmured softly. “That’s good, at least I should have some peace and quiet for the next period of time.”

------------

Chapter 132 Ninja Academy

For a period of time afterward, Yao Xingji's life gradually returned to peace. Moreover, the entire Hidden Leaf Village seemed to have fallen into an eerie tranquility.

There's no other reason than that there are fewer people.

More and more ninjas are leaving Konoha and heading to the border, and the Third Shinobi World War is on the verge of breaking out.

All that's missing is a trigger.

A light drizzle began to fall in Konoha. Yao Xingji sat by the pond, watching the goldfish swimming among them, lost in thought.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half has passed, and Yao Xingji is five years old.
