“I’m a medical ninja, so I don’t count. You don’t need to look at me.” Yao Xingji shrugged and walked towards the woods.

Swipe!

Uchiha Shisui and Yamato split up and immediately left using the Instant Transmission technique.

"Pharmacist Xingji, you better take this seriously, or don't blame me for beating you up."

Watching Yao Xingji's leisurely pace, Uzumaki Kushina waved her fist and threatened.

"Understood," Yao Xingji said without turning his head.

"If I were serious, I could be your teacher." Yao Xingji curled his lips, and after entering the forest, he immediately activated the Heart of the Universe, concealing all his aura, and flashed into the tree canopy.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Hisayuki Uzumaki finally made her move.

Yao Xingji did not move. With his three-tomoe Sharingan and the Eye of Salvation activated, he stared in the direction where Uzumaki Kushina had left.

Before long, the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard from the other side.

In the vision of the Medicine Star.

Three green figures moved swiftly, their movements, speed, and direction of attack clearly visible.

This is the result of the evolution of the Eye of Salvation and the Sharingan over the past year or so.

In complex environments, Yao Xingji's Eye of Salvation can blur the surrounding objects, allowing him to see only living beings, especially humans. Its effect is similar to the thermal imaging device from his previous life, but Yao Xingji can see further and in more detail. At the same time, he can clearly know whether the target is injured and the severity of the injury.

At the same time, the three-tomoe Sharingan greatly enhanced Yao Xingji's ability to detect movement. Those light and shadows that moved and attacked quickly in the Eye of Salvation were difficult to distinguish under normal circumstances, but they all had the Sharingan's perception ability, so everything was no problem for him.

Within a radius of 100 meters, no one can escape Yao Xingji's eyes.

Chapter 143 Breaking the Illusion

Yao Xingji hid in the tree canopy, leisurely enjoying the battle between the three.

Kushina Uzumaki's strength wasn't considered exceptionally high among Jonin, but it was certainly not weak either. As a ninja of the Uzumaki clan, she was not only the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but her physique was also exceptionally strong.

At the start of the battle, Kushina Uzumaki was dominating Shisui Uchiha and Yamato, but soon the battle took a turn for the worse.

Kushina Uzumaki underestimated the strength of Shisui Uchiha and Yamato. Under their deliberate guidance, she walked into an ambush and was bound by Yamato's Wood Release ninjutsu.

Next came Uchiha Shisui's terrifying Instant Kill Technique. The continuous attacks, each seemingly a physical entity, combined with the Sharingan's genjutsu, directly forced Uzumaki Kushina into a desperate situation.

"At this rate, Kushina is going to lose..." Yao Xingji, who had been watching the match, frowned slightly.

Their class was put together temporarily, and everyone in the class had their own ulterior motives, so they needed someone to keep everyone in check.

If Kushina were to lose like this, the subsequent missions would likely be difficult to carry out, as no one would be more convincing to the public.

"The Eye of Salvation!"

Yao Xingji activated his Eye of Salvation, and a strange ripple spread from his eyes, converging on Kushina Uzumaki.

The essence of genjutsu is to control the flow of chakra within another person's body to create illusions. Therefore, simply disrupting the chakra flow of a genjutsu can awaken one from it. While Sharingan genjutsu is powerful, as long as it doesn't exceed the scope of ordinary genjutsu, it can be dispelled using this method.

The healing power of the Eye of Salvation essentially involves using the gaze to project special chakra for healing. Therefore, during this year, Yakusei used the Eye of Salvation's remote healing ability to develop this ability to project chakra remotely, thereby disrupting the flow of chakra within others and breaking genjutsu.

In an instant, Kushina Uzumaki, who had been trapped in Shisui Uchiha's genjutsu, awoke and unleashed her full power, breaking through Yamato's Wood Release.

"You two brats, you've got some skill. Now I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

After breaking free of control, Kushina Uzumaki showed no mercy and displayed her Jonin-level strength to the fullest.

By now, both Uchiha Shisui and Yamato had severely depleted their chakra, and were no longer able to withstand the berserk Uzumaki Kushina. They were quickly caught by Kushina and given a sound beating.

"I almost got caught off guard and had to be given a good beating, otherwise how can I teach them in the future?"

Thus, under Kushina Uzumaki's care, Shisui Uchiha and Yamato experienced what it meant to be a raging storm and what it meant to be Konoha's little hot pepper.

About fifteen minutes later, Kushina Uzumaki emerged from the forest with Shisui Uchiha and Yamato.

Kushina Uzumaki looked refreshed, but Shisui Uchiha and Yamato were not so lucky; they were beaten to a pulp.

"Women... are terrifying."

Yao Xingji jumped down from the tree and rejoined the team.

"Alright, I have a general understanding of your strengths. Now let's talk about our mission this time," Kushina Uzumaki finally spoke.

"You all know about the war between us and the Land of Earth. Our mission this time is to escort a batch of military supplies to the border region between the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. The mission is not difficult, and the entire journey is within the territory of the Land of Fire. I hope everyone can complete this mission successfully. Any questions?" Kushina Uzumaki said loudly.

“No problem,” Yao Xingji replied.

"&%¥#..."

Uchiha Shisui and Yamato's heads were swollen like pigs, making it impossible to hear what they were saying.

However, this is not important to Kushina Uzumaki.

"Alright, since there are no problems, go home and pack your things. We'll leave promptly at 3 PM," Kushina Uzumaki said directly.

Uchiha Shisui and Yamato looked at Uzumaki Kushina with teary eyes. In the end, it was Yakusei Kiku who couldn't bear to watch any longer and left after... cough cough, after the treatment.

"Hoshiki, let's go, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen, all you can eat!" Kushina Uzumaki said as she pulled Hoshiki along.

"So nice to me?" Yao Xingji was quite wary, feeling like a weasel was offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

"To thank you for helping me break that brat's illusion," Kushina Uzumaki said.

In the previous battle, Kushina Uzumaki almost lost. She knew very well that the sudden breaking of the illusion was not due to her own ability, but rather to the help of Yakusei.

If it weren't for Yao Xingji, she estimated that she, as a teacher, would be utterly ashamed by now.

How can you lead your students in battle and teach them if you are defeated on your first meeting?

This is especially important for ninjas.

"No problem," Yao Xingji said with a smile.

"I have to say, the Uchiha clan's genjutsu is really troublesome. I can't fight with my eyes closed either. If they hadn't run out of chakra at the end, I probably wouldn't have been able to win this battle," Kushina Uzumaki said with a frown.

Although she has a carefree personality, she is also very thoughtful about things.

"Didn't Kushina-sensei think of a way to break the illusion?" Yao Xingji asked.

“Breaking illusions requires talent, not just anyone can do it, I…” Kushina Uzumaki tugged at her red hair in frustration.

“Actually, you have a special talent for breaking illusions,” Yao Xingji said after a moment of contemplation.

“Talent? Me?” Kushina Uzumaki pointed to herself. “You’d better not joke around.”

“I’m serious,” Yao Xing said earnestly.

There is a person in Naruto whose situation is similar to Kushina's; he is not afraid of genjutsu. This person is Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

The essence of genjutsu is to disrupt chakra. Jinchuriki are born with the chakra of a different type of tailed beast. Therefore, after being affected by genjutsu, they can use the tailed beast chakra to disrupt the flow of genjutsu chakra and break it instantly. This is the principle behind why Jinchuriki are not afraid of genjutsu.

"Using the Nine-Tails' chakra? This..." Kushina Uzumaki stared at Yakusei in shock. She had never thought of using the Nine-Tails' chakra to break genjutsu; this was too insane.

The chakra of the tailed beasts contains a crazy will. Once used, it is easy to fall into madness and become a killing machine. Therefore, what the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki have to do is to completely suppress the Nine-Tails and prevent it from going berserk.

Yao Xingji's suggestion to use the tailed beast's chakra to break the illusion is theoretically feasible, but the risk of execution is extremely high.

“If you have the chance, you can give it a try. Although the tailed beast chakra is terrifying, the key is still the person who uses it,” Yao Xingji said casually.

Chapter 144 The Bloodstained Village

"Is that so?" Kushina Uzumaki narrowed her eyes, suddenly sensing something was wrong, and slammed a powerful dunk on Yakusei's head.

"Kid, you know a lot. I don't think I ever told you that I'm the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Yao Xingji's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said, "I can see it, and it's not a secret."

Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Yakushiro, but instead of delving into the question, she began to consider the possibility of Yakushiro's suggestion regarding the manifestation of the tailed beast's chakra.

After the two ate at Ichiraku Ramen, Yao Xingji returned to his home country, left a letter for Xiaosi, packed his things briefly, and then left.

"This is probably my first time traveling far from home since I transmigrated. I'm quite looking forward to it," Yao Xingji thought to himself.

The main gate of Konoha.

A convoy transporting military supplies was assembling, and Yamato was already waiting there. You could see the anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

Uchiha Shisui, on the other hand, appeared much calmer, showing no outward emotion.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

At 3 o'clock sharp, Kushina Uzumaki led everyone away from Konoha in high spirits.

The entire convoy consisted of more than fifty people, most of whom were civilians, with only four ninjas, including Yao Xingji.

Logically speaking, such a configuration is rare in Konoha. It would be fine under normal circumstances, but now it is wartime, and even within the Land of Fire, absolute safety is impossible.

Aside from Kushina Uzumaki, who is leading the team and is considered strong enough, the other three, judging by their apparent strength, are clearly insufficient. If they go out like this and encounter an attack, the entire team will likely collapse.

This also shows how desperate Konoha is for manpower, to the point that even Kushina Uzumaki had to be brought out and used.

After leaving Konoha, the large convoy slowly headed towards the border of the Land of Fire.

During the journey, Yao Xingji walked in the middle of the group, and most of the time he sat on the wagon transporting the grain, very leisurely.

Based on everyone's current understanding of Yao Xingji, he is just a medical ninja and does not need to fight.

The safety of the entire team was entrusted to Kushina Uzumaki and her two companions, who had to patrol the vicinity of the convoy at all times to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Two days have passed.

By this time, the transport convoy was approaching the border area, and even Yao Xingji began to perk up.

“There’s a problem.” Uchiha Shisui, who was walking at the front of the group, frowned slightly. He could smell a faint scent of blood in the air.

"Stop the car," Kushina Uzumaki immediately ordered the convoy to a halt.

"What happened?" Yamato sped up from the back of the convoy and asked nervously.

After noticing the abnormality, Yao Xingji jumped out of the car and ran over.

"It smells bloody."

Yao Xingji also noticed the anomaly immediately.
