Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Such injuries would have killed an ordinary person long ago.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was able to walk freely, and even fought a great battle before this. Besides his good physique, he also used a secret technique to forcibly suppress his injuries.

This only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue examined her own body.

During this period of recuperation, although the surface wounds have healed, it is just waiting for the flesh and blood to regrow.

But the deeper injuries are still there.

Especially the Sage Chakra that Hashirama Senju left in his body.

Because the forbidden technique, Breath of Eternal Sleep, preserves life force, these Sage Chakra energies, which should have been removed, have now been fused with the body's flesh and blood for decades, like a malignant tumor, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

"Immortal Technique."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue touched the particularly noticeable injury on her chest, recalling the scene of Hashirama Senju in Sage Mode descending with unparalleled force, stepping on a giant Buddha.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was well aware of the power of immortal techniques.

During the Warring States period, he also made a special trip to find the three sacred sites.

However, whether it was because the latter's location was too hidden or because the time was not right, he had never been able to comprehend the charm of the immortal arts.

As for creating a Sage Art that is different from the chakra system, without any other Sage Art to refer to, the difficulty is not much less than perfecting the Bloodline Limit.

With her primary focus on the Bloodline Limit, Yu Yi Xuan Yue had neither the time nor the energy to create a new Immortal Technique from scratch.

If it were truly so easy, there wouldn't have been only three generations of holy lands possessing immortal techniques over the past thousand years, and those techniques wouldn't even be applicable to humans.

In addition, learning immortal arts seems to require certain qualifications, and only a very few people are qualified.

During the Warring States period, only Hashirama Senju knew of the Sage Art.

Let alone the fact that Hashirama Senju created Sage Mode himself.

This guy is strong because he has the Ashura Reincarnation as a base, and he also activated the Wood Release bloodline limit.

To create immortal arts?

Something that even people like himself, Tobirama Senju, and Orochimaru couldn't achieve.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue would never believe that the simpleton Hashirama Senju would create Sage Mode on his own.

The most likely explanation is that he learned magic from the Shikkut Forest.

In the decades since the Warring States period, the only people known to possess Sage Mode from Hagoromo Gengetsu are the half-baked Jiraiya, and later Naruto Uzumaki and Kabuto Orochimaru.

Minato Namikaze could also use it, but he hadn't mastered Sage Mode before he died, so it wasn't very useful when he used it.

If we calculate it this way, there have been very few humans who have truly mastered immortal arts over the past thousand years.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue was unsure if she would have the opportunity to learn immortal arts in the future.

He harbored great apprehension towards those three old fellows from the three holy lands who had lived for a thousand years, watched Kaguya Otsutsuki and her son kill each other, and then coldly watched the Infinite Tsukuyomi without ever stepping forward. They merely nurtured the holy land contractors like they were guiding Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Rather than forcibly taking it, it's better to think about getting it from the system later.

However, since Hagoromo Gengetsu doesn't understand the details of Sage Art right now, it's difficult to completely eliminate the stubborn and destructive Sage Art chakra remaining in his body through normal rest alone.

"Perhaps I should look for information on medical ninjutsu," Yu Yi Xuan Yue thought to herself as she put on her yukata.

Thanks to the establishment of Konoha's medical system under Tsunade's leadership, and with other major ninja villages following suit, the medical ninjutsu in the ninja world today is far more abundant than in the Warring States period or when ninja villages were first established.

Even Orochimaru, whose hands were sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, had complete faith that Tsunade could heal his injuries, which shows just how advanced medical ninjutsu must be now.

Times are always changing.

This applies to technology, and it also applies to ninjutsu.

There has never been a case where people today are inferior to people in ancient times.

With the same thought in mind, Yu Yi Xuan Yue stepped out of the hot spring and quickly began to make plans.

Chapter 55 An Unexpected Encounter! A Chance Encounter with Class 7 (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After leaving Godfall Valley, Yu Yi Xuan Yue now lives in a very ordinary town.

Although the letters from the Fourth Raikage A caused considerable unease in the ninja world, ordinary people who were not ninjas continued to live their lives as usual.

Like this small town, where ninjas rarely come throughout the year, they live their lives peacefully.

Today, however, in addition to Yu Yi Xuan Yue, there was another group of uninvited guests wearing Konoha headbands.

"Sasuke, are you alright? Why don't we rest here for a bit?"

Sakura carefully helped Sasuke, whose body was wrapped in bandages, and asked him.

After Tsunade successfully became the Fifth Hokage, because Kakashi had another mission, the three of them formed Team 7 and took on a B-rank mission in the Land of Tea. During the mission, they encountered Midori Aoi, a Konoha rogue ninja who stole the Thunder God Sword. Although they successfully defeated him, Sasuke was seriously injured.

Sakura, who hadn't yet learned medical ninjutsu, could only give Sasuke a simple bandage and wait until they returned to the village for further treatment.

After a long and tiring journey, Sakura noticed that Sasuke looked exhausted when they passed through this town, which led to her suggestion.

Naruto casually raised his hand in agreement: "Yeah, yeah! Sasuke, you're all sweating, why don't you rest here for a bit? I'm hungry too, let's all go get something to eat!"

Sasuke's expression changed upon hearing this.

Looking at Naruto, who had also suffered many injuries during the mission in the Land of Tea but was now full of energy, and then thinking about how the reason he was able to defeat Midori was mainly because of Naruto, and not himself.

A nameless rage suddenly surged into Sasuke's heart.

He said coldly, "No need! Go back to Konoha immediately!"

After saying that, Sasuke forcefully shook off Sakura's arm, gritting his teeth and strode away despite the pain, leaving Sakura bewildered and panicked.

"Sasuke!!"

Sakura, filled with worry, quickly caught up with him.

Seeing this, Naruto could only follow, scratching his head as he walked, and asked, "Sasuke, are you really not going to eat anything? Or should I carry you?"

Although he knew that Naruto, the single-celled organism, meant well, Sasuke, who couldn't help but overthink, clenched his fists and continued walking forward, ignoring everything else.

Until he looked up and saw someone coming towards him.

"Danger!!!"

In that instant, Sasuke's exceptionally sharp pupils contracted sharply, and his two-tomoe Sharingan opened on its own as if stimulated.

He stopped and stared intently at the person walking towards him, a bead of cold sweat unknowingly trickling down his forehead.

"Sasuke, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Sasuke suddenly stop, Sakura, who had caught up later, was about to ask him something in confusion.

Sasuke snapped back to reality, grabbed Sakura's arm, and forcefully pulled her behind him.

The force was so great that Sakura's face showed pain.

"Sakura!! Sasuke, you bastard!"

Upon seeing this, Naruto rushed over in a rage.

But before he could rebuke Sasuke...

suddenly!

Naruto caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of his eye.

"Yes, it's you!!!"

Naruto pointed excitedly at the person who had arrived.

what do you say that is?

I forgot about it all at once.

But he remembered that just a while ago, this guy in front of him had threatened Tsunade and forcibly taken the ninjutsu scroll.

"You robber! Naruto has finally found you!"

Without waiting for a response, Naruto couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves and unleash the Rasengan he had already learned to teach the newcomers a lesson.

"Wait a minute! Naruto!"

Although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, Sasuke, with his keen perception, sensed that the newcomer was extremely terrifying.

He wanted to stop the reckless Naruto from acting without thinking.

Normally, if Naruto could be stopped, he wouldn't be Naruto.

This time, however, it was quite unexpected.

Naruto had just taken a step when he stopped.

It wasn't that Sasuke actually called out to him.

But

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced calmly in this direction.

Just one look.

Naruto, who was usually fearless, suddenly froze, his face turned pale, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"What is this?! Move! Why aren't you moving?!"

Contrary to his outward demeanor, Naruto roared inwardly.

But it didn't work.

At this moment, Naruto felt as if he had returned to the time when he first left the village to do a mission. On the way, he saw Kakashi being brutally cut into pieces by two ninjas. His mind went blank, and he felt lost, scared, and helpless.

He clearly intended to make a move.

But it was just one look from Yu Yi Xuan Yue that made him completely incapacitated.

"This guy! He wasn't like this before! Why! Why did he turn me into this at a glance!"

Naruto was filled with confusion, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Sasuke and Sakura also had similar thoughts.
