"The Iwa ninja are truly despicable, they don't even spare ordinary people!" Uchiha Shisui also showed an angry expression.

"Do you remember how many people there were in total?" Yao Xingji suddenly asked.

However, Midori was already gripped by fear and did not answer any more questions.

"This Midori is probably not simple!"

Yao Xingji looked at the terrified little girl, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Having just used the Eye of Salvation to heal Midori, Yao Xingji received another reward. This time, it wasn't just chakra, but also a very strange secret technique.

Chapter 146 Forensic Medicine Star

"The Immortal Corpse Technique? What kind of secret technique is this? I've never heard of it before." Yao Xingji frowned slightly as he looked at the records in the Heart of the Universe.

In Naruto, there has never been such a secret technique, so even though Yakusei has memories of his past life and understands the plot of Naruto, he has no way of knowing what this secret technique is used for.

"Of all the secret techniques I know, the only one that can be associated with this name is Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu. But that's a forbidden reincarnation technique, and Orochimaru hasn't developed it yet. So this Midori's secret technique can't be Reanimation Jutsu."

Yao Xingji tried to recall the Naruto from his memories, but unfortunately, he still had no clue.

However, the appearance of this secret technique made Yao Xingji increasingly suspicious of the little girl in front of him.

As dusk fell, most of the people transporting military supplies were exhausted and went to rest early.

Outside the camp, only Uchiha Shisui and Yakusei remained. They were responsible for guarding the first half of the night, while Uzumaki Hisahina and Yamato were responsible for guarding the second half.

“We need to be careful tonight,” said Uchiha Shisui, poking at the burning campfire.

"What's wrong?" Yao Xingji asked.

“That little girl might not be so simple. So many people in the village died, and she was the only one who survived. I feel…” Uchiha Shisui frowned, paused, and seemed to be thinking about what to say next.

"Anyway, something just doesn't feel right. We can't believe everything she says. For example, she said that the Iwa ninjas sneaked in from underground to attack. If the Iwa ninjas have that ability, why don't they hide themselves properly and attack our Konoha supply lines? What's the point of killing a bunch of civilians?"

Yao Xingji looked at Uchiha Shisui with some surprise, not expecting that six-year-old Shisui already had such strategic insight.

Although Yao Xingji himself also felt that there was something wrong with the girl, that was a conclusion he reached after he had confirmed through treatment that Midori was a ninja and possessed a mysterious secret technique. This was completely different from Uchiha Shisui's speculation.

"I'm just giving you a heads-up, you don't need to take it too seriously." After saying that, Uchiha Shisui chuckled and scratched his head.

“Before I came out, our clan chief said that he could discuss any problems with me. He said that although you are younger than me, you have more experience and knowledge than me, and that I should learn from you.”

"Hehe, Clan Chief Fugaku is really joking. What would a medical ninja like me know?" Yakusei Kiku laughed.

"These words definitely weren't spoken by Fugaku Uchiha; they were probably said by that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi," Yao Xingji thought to himself.

Composing himself, Yao Xingji steered the conversation back to the little girl.

“When we left that village, I checked on everyone else. They had been dead for more than two days. That means that Midori, with such severe injuries, lay there for two days. It’s not entirely impossible, but I also feel it’s a miracle that she survived,” Yao Xingji said, offering a point of doubt from the perspective of a medical ninja.

"Furthermore, she only had one wound on her abdomen, no other wounds or internal injuries, while most of the other villagers who died had multiple fatal wounds, as if to ensure their death," Yao Xingji continued, almost treating the medical ninja as a forensic doctor.

Uchiha Shisui's expression immediately changed, and he stood up abruptly: "According to what you're saying, then this Midori is definitely problematic. We should notify Kushina-sensei immediately."

"Kushina-sensei is a Jonin. You and I can both see that, so how could she not? Don't let her fiery personality fool you; she's very serious about what she does," Yao Xingji said.

"So what do we do now?" Uchiha Shisui asked.

"Wait," Yao Xingji said calmly.

"Wait?" Shisui looked puzzled.

“No matter who she is, she must have a purpose in doing this, but we don’t know her purpose yet, so let’s wait and see what she does,” Yao Xingji said casually.

“This…” Uchiha Shisui felt that there seemed to be something wrong with what Yao Xingji was doing, but he didn’t know how to put it.

At first glance, this makes a lot of sense. They are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark. Waiting for the opponent to make a move is the best option.

In reality, they were too big of a target. If they waited for the enemy to attack, the four ninjas might not be in much trouble, but what about the military rations?

Uchiha Shisui looked at the calm-looking Yakusei. This five-year-old child indeed possessed the composure, even indifference, of his peers.

Compared to that Green Child, this Medicine Star is also very suspicious.

As night deepened, dark clouds obscured the stars and moon, making the surrounding darkness even more intense.

Everyone else had already rested, and the campfire had dimmed, illuminating only a small, yellowish area.

Suddenly, Yao Xingji's expression changed, and his eyes looked down at the ground.

"Has it finally appeared?"

Yao Xingji thought to himself.

His sensory abilities are very strong, all of which he acquired by exploiting the loopholes in Konoha for over a year. Although he is not as abnormal as Karin in the original Naruto, he still surpasses the sensory abilities of ordinary ninjas.

Under the silent night sky, Yao Xingji's senses spread out like a tide, silently monitoring the entire camp.

The very faint chakra fluctuation just now came from underground, more than 500 meters away from the camp.

Yao Xingji glanced at Uchiha Shisui beside him, whose expression remained unchanged, and knew that Shisui probably hadn't noticed the problem.

After a moment of contemplation, Yao Xingji said nothing, pretending not to know anything.

"If the Third Hokage sent an Uchiha clansman to spy on me, then let his own people handle the problem," Yao Xingji thought to himself.

He doesn't plan to take action unless absolutely necessary.

The chakra fluctuations were getting closer and closer, and they were only a hundred meters away from the camp. At this position, Yao Xingji could clearly sense the number of people lurking over.

"Fourteen people in total, they really are the assault force of Iwagakure," Yao Xingji muttered to himself in surprise.

The number of opponents was somewhat greater than Yao Xingji had anticipated, and judging from the situation he sensed, there were probably several very strong opponents among them.

Yao Xingji glanced at Uchiha Shisui again and found that the guy still seemed oblivious to everything.

"This is really... all I wanted to do was be a medical ninja..."

Yao Xingji was speechless. He dipped the bamboo pole in his hand into the campfire and stirred it, deliberately lingering there for a while.

Snapped!

With a loud bang, the bamboo pole exploded from the heat. Although the sound was not loud, it was very clear in the quiet camp.

Chapter 147 Iwa Ninja Raid

"What's that sound?" Hisayuki rushed out of the tent, followed closely by Yamato.

On the other side, many members of the transport team who were already fast asleep were also woken up by the noise.

After all, there is a war going on now, and it is dangerous everywhere. People dare not sleep too soundly, because the slightest disturbance will cause a violent reaction.

"What's going on...?"

"what happened?"

……

One by one, people ran out of the tents, looking around in panic.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry, this bamboo pole burned and exploded..." Yao Xingji stood up apologetically and pointed to the burning campfire as he spoke to everyone.

"Bamboo poles! I thought it was an enemy attack, it scared me to death." Everyone visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright." Kushina Uzumaki's expression softened.

She checked the time; it was almost midnight. Since she was already awake, there was no need to go back to sleep.

"You two go and rest, I'll keep watch." Kushina Uzumaki said as she walked towards Yakushiki.

“Okay, Kushina-sensei.” Yao Xingji didn’t refuse and immediately walked towards the tent, yawning as he did so.

Uchiha Shisui also greeted Uzumaki Kushina and left with Yakusei.

"three!"

"two!"

Yao Xingji silently counted down the time in his heart; Uzumaki Kushina was getting closer and closer to the underground ninja.

"one!"

"Manipulation of the five senses!"

With chakra flowing, Yakuseiji directly activated the Kurama clan's genjutsu, Five Senses Manipulation.

In an instant, Kushina Uzumaki felt a very faint tremor coming from the ground.

At the same time, Yamato also sensed unusual fluctuations coming from underground.

"Yamato, earth escape!"

Almost instantly, Kushina Uzumaki gave the order.

Yamato's reaction speed was also extremely fast; he began forming hand seals almost the instant Kushina Uzumaki finished speaking.

"Earth Release·Earth Release!"

Without Kushina Uzumaki telling Yamato which ninjutsu to use, he, having undergone rigorous training in the Anbu, immediately assessed the situation and chose the most suitable ninjutsu.

Snapped!

Yamato slammed his hand on the ground, and the earth began to tremble violently, cracking open a trench tens of meters long.

"kill!"

At the same time, the Iwa ninja, who were confused about how they had been exposed, were forced to emerge from underground under the pressure of Yamato's Earth Release ninjutsu.

In an instant, the earth cracked open, and one figure after another leaped out from the ground, charging towards Yao Xingji and the others.

Wearing headbands from the Hidden Stone Village of the Land of Earth, they either held kunai to throw or formed hand seals to unleash ninjutsu, launching their fiercest attack.

Swish!

Uchiha Shisui drew the short sword from his back. No one saw his movement clearly, and with the cover of darkness, when he reappeared, he was already behind an Iwa ninja.

His crimson eyes fell on the low-ranking ninja, and with a swift movement, he slit his throat with a single sword stroke.

While Yamato was using his ninjutsu, Uchiha Shisui was already prepared. The moment these Iwa ninjas attacked, he used his Body Flicker Technique to move over and catch them off guard.
