Being a rogue ninja is worse than being Hokage.

He questioned the doctor about his sudden stop.

"You continue with the exam as planned. I have to leave the team."

Kabuto Yakushi, however, did not answer Kenmi Sumi's question at all.

His attitude towards Kensuke Misumi was more like that of a superior giving orders to a subordinate than towards his fellow ninjas.

"Stop using that commanding tone. It's just that your strength has recently surpassed ours slightly, and you've been lucky enough to be noticed by that lord! You've actually started to think you're someone important!"

Kabuto's second companion, like Misumi Tsurugi, wore a long black mask to cover his face, but was also wearing round black sunglasses and red copper armor.

He was very dissatisfied with Kabuto's attitude.

"Slightly"...

Kabuto Yakushi dismissed the words of the man in the Copper Armor.

That makes sense, considering he's a seasoned spy. If his true abilities were seen through by people like Kenmei and Akakon Kai, he would truly be a laughingstock.

"Kai, I did all this for that person, you should... understand, right?"

Yakushi Kabuto spared some of his attention to respond to the Copper Armor.

But he immediately focused his attention, and Kabuto Yakushi sensed a chakra approaching him.

That chakra appeared behind Kabuto Yakushi; the attack was imminent!

That's a super fast teleportation technique!

Kabuto knew he had missed a golden opportunity; it was too late to either retaliate or dodge.

He simply chose to take the attack from behind head-on!

The kunai was pierced entirely into Yakushikata's body.

Kabuto Yakushi, however, paid no attention to his injuries.

He even planned to use his own body as bait, taking advantage of the attacker's attack on him to control the attacker in return!

The attacker keenly sensed Kabuto's intentions and decisively jumped away from behind him, keeping his distance.

However, Kabuto's two companions, Misumi Tsurugi and Akaguni Yoroi, who were also attacked, were not so lucky...

Both of them died!

The three attackers emerged from the shadows into the open.

“I know you, the three rain-loving people of Amegakure—Shigure, Umeyu, and Sudugure.”

Kabuto Yakushi knew who the three attackers were just by glancing at their appearances.

Each of the three Amegakure members carried multiple oil-paper umbrellas on their backs, and the Amegakure ninja headbands were embedded in the straw hats they wore.

The tall one is Shigure.

Shigure has only one eye; the other eye was blinded by a wild beast, and a scar can still be seen near the eye socket.

Just now, Shigure ambushed Yakushi Kabuto.

The short and stout one is the plum rain, while the slender one is the sudden rain.

Kabuto pulled the kunai that Shigure had stabbed into his back out of his body, and it didn't look like he had any internal organ damage at all.

If Shigure could see that Kabuto has just removed the kunai from his back, he would see that Kabuto's wound has already healed.

Yin heals and destroys!

This is a high-level medical ninjutsu mastered by Kabuto Yakushi.

With precise insight, one can anticipate the body parts targeted by the enemy and begin healing before injury occurs, minimizing the damage received.

The instantaneous recovery power of Yin Healing and Destruction is so great that it even allows Kabuto Yakushi to withstand the Rasengan with his bare body.

“Three members of Amegakure, how about we make a deal? My companion has been killed by you, which means I have failed in this survival exercise... I will hand over the scroll to you, hoping you will spare my life.”

Kabuto glanced at the corpses of Tsurugi Misumi and Akakon Kai.

Having lost two group members, he was already considered eliminated in this exam.

However, whether or not he could pass the Chunin Exams smoothly was never Kabuto Yakushi's goal.

Kabuto Yakushi was not afraid of the three Amegakure members in front of him.

However, Kabuto Yakushi has now lost even the ostensible reason for fighting: "to seize the scroll during the exam."

He simply couldn't be bothered to waste time fighting the Rain Village ninja in front of him.

Kabuto Yakushi was more concerned about Sasuke Uchiha.

—Has Lord Orochimaru successfully transplanted the cursed seal to Sasuke?

What kind of ideological transformation will Sasuke undergo after obtaining the power of the cursed seal?

Will Sasuke's changes be able to help him out of his confusion?

These are the things that Kabuto Yakushi truly cares about.

Kabuto looked at Shigure and raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of resisting.

He walked to the body of Kenmei and took out a black "Earth" scroll from Kenmei's ninja tool bag.

The scrolls belonging to the Yakushi Kabuto group were originally kept by Kenmi Sumi!

Unfortunately, Kabuto's hope of not wasting time fighting was dashed.

"We've already killed two people, so one more won't make a difference."

Shi Yu reached out and pulled out two oil-paper umbrellas from her back, then threw them into the air.

The closed oil-paper umbrella unfolds in the air, spinning rapidly like a blooming flower.

"Ninja Art: Thousands of Raindrops!"

The thousand senbon hidden in the oil-paper umbrella were activated by Shigure's chakra and shot out densely like falling rain.

However, those thousand sticks did not shoot at Yakushi Kabuto.

Instead, it attacked Kenmi's corpse!

Faced with this unexpected situation, Kabuto Yakushi quickly bent down and used his body to shield Misumi Kensuke.

A living person risked their life to protect a dead person.

Kabuto Yakushi blocked most of the attacks from the Rain of a Thousand Bones until the attack from Shigure's ninja tools ended.

There wasn't a single intact part left on Kabuto's body.

Senbon also pierced Yakushi Kabuto's face, revealing his true appearance...

Kenmi Sumi!

"I never expected you could see through my Death Soul Technique."

"Ken Misumi," who should have been dead, pushed away the corpse that was pressing down on her and had been riddled with stabs.

He stood in front of Shigure, tore off his own face, revealing Yakushi Kabuto's appearance.

"You did indeed switch places with the corpse when you took the scroll."

Shigure frowned as she looked at Yakushi Kabuto.

"He's my comrade, isn't it only natural for him to help me?"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses, not thinking there was anything wrong with his behavior.

"Since you two are such good companions, I'll hurry and take you to see them—the rainy season! A sudden downpour!"

Shigure called out to her companions.

The rain and the downpour immediately took place on either side of Yakushi-kabuki.

The three of them were of one mind and simultaneously formed the Water Escape Seal.

Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!

Shiyu, Meiyu, and Zhouyu exhaled water mist from their mouths, enveloping the Medicine Master in it.

Despite being obscured by the thick fog, Kabuto Yakushi remained calm, sensing the chakra of the three members of Amegakure.

However, Kabuto was surprised to find that the chakra of the three Amegakure members had disappeared!

This situation was exactly the same as when Shigure suddenly appeared behind him earlier.

Kabuto Yakushi realized the seriousness of the problem; he couldn't predict when or how the three Amegakure members would launch their attack.

Kabuto hurriedly used his powerful healing ninjutsu, Yin Healing and Destruction, once again.

But he suddenly realized that he could not smoothly condense chakra through his own chakra channels.

There's something wrong with this fog!

Chapter 38 Failure

The chakra released by the three members of Amegakure within the dense fog possessed extraordinary activity and aggression.

This chakra was inhaled by Kabuto Yakushi through his breathing, blocking his chakra channels.

Kabuto Yakushi continued to try to gather chakra, and through the feeling of his chakra flowing through his body, he finally adapted to his current physical condition.

He regained control of a portion of the chakra pathways within his body.

"I must expel the chakra that I just inhaled that doesn't belong to me from my body as soon as possible!"

Thinking this way, Kabuto Yakushi began to use his own chakra to attack the abnormal chakra within his body.

Once he completely expels these abnormal chakras from his body, he can use Yin Healing Destruction again.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Shigure's voice rang in Yakushi Kabuto's ear.

He swung his kunai at Kabuto, but Kabuto immediately drew a kunai to block Shigure's attack!

"It's that teleportation technique again that can completely conceal yourself... How do you even do that?"

Kabuto looked at Shigure, but then denied his own statement: "No... is that really the Body Flicker Technique?"
