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

Swish!

After his death, Uchiha Shisui's figure vanished without a trace, and no one saw where he went.

Meanwhile, Yamato had already unleashed his Wood Release technique, with a large number of vine-like pieces of wood bursting forth from around him and heading straight for the Iwa ninja.

Kushina Uzumaki was also quite fast. After giving Yamato the order to use Earth Release, she was already forming hand seals to cast her ninjutsu. At that moment, the Iwa ninjas had just come out and were met with Kushina Uzumaki's ninjutsu.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough".

A gust of wind swept out in an instant, heading straight for the Iwa ninja who had just emerged from underground.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The moment Kushina Uzumaki's Wind Release ninjutsu struck, Shisui Uchiha, who had disappeared, reappeared and immediately used the Uchiha clan's signature ninjutsu, Great Fireball Technique.

During the operation, Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan noticed the hand seals that Uzumaki Kushina was forming, and thus determined what kind of ninjutsu Uzumaki Kushina was using. Therefore, after killing one person, Uchiha Shisui did not continue to attack, but instead used a fire-style ninjutsu to cooperate with Uzumaki Kushina.

boom!

The wind fueled the fire, and although Uchiha Shisui's fire-style ninjutsu wasn't particularly strong to begin with, its power underwent a qualitative leap with the help of Uzumaki Kushina's wind-style ninjutsu, which was at the Jonin level.

The night sky was instantly illuminated by the flames.

"Ah ah ah..."

The flames, accompanied by a fierce wind, swept in, and the Iwa ninja who had emerged from underground finally had a chance to fight back.

However, not everyone needs a chance.

Three of them were unable to dodge Yamato's Wood Release technique and were bound to the spot by the vines. By the time they managed to break free, flames had already swept over them and burned them directly.

"Wow, I've actually witnessed a Fireball Jutsu kill someone in my lifetime, that's really something..."

Yao Xingji watched the intense flames of the battlefield as he retreated.

Just warn Kushina that the enemy is coming; as for the battle that follows, that's up to them. As for Yakusei, he can continue to be his weak, pitiful, and helpless medical ninja.

It can be said that Kushina Uzumaki and her two companions were able to overpower fourteen Iwa ninjas at this moment, all thanks to Yakusei.

If Yao Xingji hadn't used illusion magic to warn them, giving them the advantage of striking first, the situation would probably be reversed.

If the Iwa ninjas make the first move, then Yaoxing Jijue and the others can just run away, and their military supplies will most likely be ruined.

However, after the initial strong suppression, the battle began to become deadlocked.

Although several Iwa ninja died and many were injured, their numbers still exceeded those of Konoha. After overcoming the initial shock, their fighting strength after regrouping was still astonishing, including many Jonin-level individuals.

Just as Yao Xingji was contemplating whether to hide in the shadows and fire a shot, his expression suddenly shifted, and he looked toward the tent.

That Midori has made a move.

Noticing this, Yao Xingji frowned and glanced at the battlefield.

The situation is currently at a stalemate, with no clear winner. Both sides are trading blows, and the civilians in the transport convoy have also taken up arms and joined the battle. Although their effect is not significant, they still pose a certain threat.

Upon seeing this, Yao Xingji decisively turned around and headed straight for the tent.

He wanted to see just who this Midori really was.

"What's wrong? Trying to run away? There's a war going on outside, it's very dangerous." When Yao Xingji appeared in the tent, Lüzi had already cut open the other side of the tent and taken out a flint and steel.

Not far away, there were neatly stacked military rations and supplies.

"Oh, so you're planning to set a fire?" Yao Xingji looked at the little girl who was standing there in a daze and gave her an innocent smile.

Chapter 148 Pick an Easy One to Kill

“You…” Midori stared in shock at the suddenly appearing Yakusei. The next moment, she picked up the kunai that had been thrown on the ground and turned back to attack.

A medical ninja who is only two years older than her should be easy to kill.

However, when Green rushed in front of Yao Xingji, Yao Xingji simply extended his right hand, hooked and pulled with a force far exceeding Green's expectations, and Green was directly knocked to the ground without any hesitation.

"I just saved you, and you're already trying to kill me. Are you so eager to repay kindness with enmity?" Yao Xingji said indifferently.

Midori stared at Yao Xingji in shock, her fists clenched tightly.

“Even without you, I won’t die,” Midori said coldly.

"Is this the effect of the Undying Corpse Technique?" Yao Xingji's expression shifted, and he said thoughtfully.

"You... how do you know about the Undying Technique?" Midori was completely shocked this time. She never expected that this medical ninja from Konoha would know about their clan's secret ninjutsu and even call it out by name.

Yao Xingji didn't answer Midori, but looked intently at the child before him and asked, "Why are you going to such lengths to sabotage Konoha's supply lines? Which country sent you?"

Midori gritted her teeth and didn't say anything more, giving off an expression that said, "You can kill me if you want."

When Yao Xingji saw that Lüzi didn't speak, he didn't press her for details. People who are willing to do this kind of espionage have long since disregarded life and death, so forcing them is useless.

Yao Xingji extracted chakra and began to quietly circulate the Undying Technique he had obtained from Midori.

He hadn't tried it before because he was afraid of making too much noise, but now, with a general understanding, he had guessed the function of this secret technique.

Soon, Yao Xingji felt some changes in his body. First, his body temperature dropped, followed by a slowdown in his respiratory and circulatory systems. He immediately felt like he was about to faint.

Having confirmed the effectiveness of the Undying Technique, Yao Xingji immediately stopped trying it, and his body quickly returned to normal.

While Yao Xingji was experimenting with a secret technique, Midori was also observing him. This Konoha medical ninja, who was only a few years older than her, seemed different from the others.

Suddenly, she was shocked to find that Yao Xingji's skin had turned much grayish-white, just like when she used the Undying Technique.

"You... how do you know the secret technique of immortality?!" Midori asked incredulously.

"I see. The Undying Technique is about not turning into a corpse, right? It minimizes one's energy consumption, or even stops the circulation system altogether, entering a state of suspended animation. Even if one is seriously injured, one can use this technique to survive. Interesting." Yao Xingji said casually, looking at Lüzi's wide-open mouth.

"No wonder you said before that even if I didn't save you, you wouldn't die. With this secret technique, you really won't die, and you can even slowly recover."

"Let me guess, you could use this secret technique to pretend you survived the massacre of the village, thereby gaining the sympathy of the Konoha ninjas and joining Konoha. Whether you hide in Konoha as a spy or follow Konoha's ninja team to leak information to enemy ninjas, it's a good choice. After all, few people would suspect a seriously injured three-year-old child, am I right?"

"You...how did you know?" Midori stared wide-eyed at the five-year-old child in front of her, utterly terrified.

What Yao Xingji said was almost exactly what she had planned, as if she had personally experienced it.

Yao Xingji smiled but didn't explain anything, after all, he had used this to hide in Konoha.

There are many secret techniques and bloodline limits in the ninja world, so it's normal that some things don't appear in Naruto.

Even Yao Xingji wondered if Orochimaru's Reanimation Jutsu was inspired by Midori's clan.

"You people of Konoha deserve to die, you all deserve to die!!"

Midori glared at Yao Xingji and roared fiercely. She was furious that Yao Xingji had exposed her scheme.

"People from Konoha?" Yao Xingji asked in return.

"You have committed countless atrocities, including burning, killing, looting, and plundering. You have instigated wars and slaughtered civilians in other countries. You will surely be punished," Green said viciously.

Yao Xingji was not one of her people, so she knew the origin of the Undying Technique without even having to think about it.

"My parents and relatives all died by the swords of your Konoha. I swear, I will make Konoha pay the price!" Midori continued to shout.

Yao Xingji's use of the Undying Technique seemed to have triggered the little girl, reminding her of something she least wanted to remember.

"Seeing is not necessarily believing," Yao Xing said very softly.

"You don't need to reason with me, just kill me if you want." After venting her emotions, Midori curled up on the ground and stopped talking.

"Go, I won't kill you," Yao Xingji said.

"Why...?" Midori suddenly raised her head and asked in disbelief.

"Who told you that I am a ninja of Konoha?" Yao Xingji chuckled.

“Ah…you…” Midori thought of a possibility, but felt it was unrealistic.

“If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave once the fighting outside is over,” Yao Xingji said.

Swish!

Midori got up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the torn tent, glancing back at Yao Xingji every now and then. Only when she was sure that Yao Xingji would not chase after her did she rush out and disappear into the night.

"Hey, why should I clean up the mess that three generations of old men made?" Yao Xingji said calmly as he watched Lüzi run away.

"It's already good enough that you helped him keep the military rations he was transporting; I don't want to worry about anything else..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Xingji turned around and walked out of the tent, looking at the battle in the distance.

At this moment, Konoha's side has already shown signs of decline. They are outnumbered, and the civilians with weapons who used to be of some help have now become a complete burden.

Meanwhile, the Iwa ninja, after being caught off guard initially, have now stabilized the situation and begun to advance steadily, but they have their own concerns.

"This won't do. We're in the Land of Fire, and we must finish this quickly and leave. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble once Konoha's ninjas arrive to reinforce us." The leader of the Iwa ninjas looked grim.

They were very confident that this raid would be successful and that they could escape unscathed. It was all that brat's fault for making a popping sound while burning bamboo, which woke up the sleeping crowd and led them to discover their hiding place underground. Otherwise, they would have already killed everyone and left by now.

"Damn it, since you've ruined my plans, you'll pay the price."

"Since the others are too difficult to kill, I'll pick the easiest one to kill first."

With that thought in mind, the Iwa ninja turned his gaze to the child who came out of the tent.

Chapter 149 The Enraged Medicine Star

"it's him!"

The Land of Earth Jonin recognized Yao Xingji at a glance; it was this brat who had caused their sneak attack plan to fail.

"Around five years old, he's a medical ninja, which means he has no fighting ability!"

Almost instantly, the information that Midori had secretly passed on to him flashed into his mind.

The next moment, the Jonin formed hand seals and sank into the ground, disappearing from sight.

"careful!"

Kushina Uzumaki saw the person disappear and immediately shouted a reminder.

Having already determined through her previous attacks that this person was the strongest member of the Iwa ninja raid team, she now had a bad feeling when she saw him use Earth Release to sink into the ground.

Uchiha Shisui and Yamato's expressions changed, and they immediately became cautious and on guard, carefully sensing the fluctuations coming from underground.
