Chapter 162: Ch.162 Genjutsu Control!
Because the Otsutsuki branch elder's final attack, which absorbed all of Killer Bee's chakra, had drawn the attention of all the Akatsuki members, Uchiha Shinji's retreat went smoothly, encountering only Deidara along the way.
With the aid of Deidara's clay bird, he quickly left the battlefield, heading south, and a few hours later, he successfully crossed into the Land of Fire.
After confirming that no one had followed him, Shinji detonated Deidara's clay bird in a secluded area, then took the unconscious Neji and Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, into a small forest.
Within the forest, Shinji examined Neji's condition.
During the fierce battle on the moon, when the Otsutsuki branch elder used a repulsive force against Shinji, it had struck Neji's head, causing a concussion that kept him unconscious until now.
Fortunately, Shinji knew medical ninjutsu and treated Neji's injuries.
Afterward, Shinji turned his attention to Yugito's condition.
Compared to Neji, Yugito's injuries were far more severe. A long wound stretched across her chest, clearly inflicted by Hidan's bloodstained triple-bladed scythe!
Such an injury would have been fatal for an ordinary person.
Only a Jinchuriki with a powerful life force could have held on this long, managing to stay alive.
However, Yugito was close to her limit; without immediate treatment, she would not survive until dawn.
