The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Tsunade remained silent, but Jiraiya spoke up from the side.

While it might seem like it could improve Konoha and even help the development of the sealing team and medical ninjas, the fact that the three elders could unite and even hinder the Hokage's actions is not good news.

"Then tell me your suggestion? You think the Hokage is being restrained. Do you think the three elders can unite?"

Hongzhi calmly looked at Jiraiya. Of the three elder seats, Hongzhi wanted to take two. If he was stuck with Jiraiya, he would probably have no choice but to take a risk and go to the Daimyo's residence.

"Forehead……"

Jiraiya was indifferent. He had invited Tsunade back to be Hokage, and before she had even officially become Hokage, a situation had arisen that could potentially shake the decision of who would become Hokage, which was quite embarrassing for him.

"That Jinchuriki brat is your apprentice, right? Who else do you think could sit in that elder position that targets Jinchuriki and the sealing team, besides you?"

Hongzhi spoke with some excitement, but because he was deliberately trying to maintain a weak state, he looked as if he was about to breathe his last.

"Cough cough cough..."

After coughing a few times, Hongzhi continued, "And there's also Kudo Yuuya, the director of Konoha Hospital. If I remember correctly, she and Tsunade have a close relationship! What else do you have to worry about?"

Jiraiya fell silent again. Kudo Yuya had studied under Tsunade for a period of time. Although they weren't master and disciple, they had a good relationship.

"As for the last spot, let's give it to this child. The forbidden techniques he painstakingly learned must be passed down..."

Hongzhi lowered his voice considerably, and then fell silent. As for the final outcome, it would depend on the choices of Tsunade and Jiraiya.

If there's really no other way, then we can only go directly to the daimyo of the Land of Fire, but using Kotoamatsukami on an ordinary person would be a waste.

Before obtaining the Eternal Kaleidoscope, every use should be approached with caution.

"I agree."

While Jiraiya remained indifferent, Tsunade spoke up directly. She had initially thought Danzo was there to cause trouble, but after seeing what was inside, Tsunade suddenly felt that Danzo, on his deathbed, seemed to have come to his senses!

"Good. Tomorrow I'll have this guy go directly to the Daimyo's residence. Once he arrives, he can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take you to meet the Daimyo..."

Hongzhi waved his hand dejectedly and closed his eyes. His performance this time was full of flaws, but considering that he was using Danzo's face.

Hongzhi felt he could forgive himself for a while.

Chapter 191 The Situation in Konoha, The Genius Ninja

"I never expected Danzo to make such a decision!"

Jiraiya felt somewhat incredulous as he left the Root base. His refusal was simply because he was worried about the Root ninja next to Danzo, and his intuition told him that the man was very strange.

Furthermore, Danzo's kindness is somewhat strange, though it's possible that he's about to die and wants to do something.

However, Danzo still needs to be guarded against.

"Who knows? But the fact that Danzo was able to make such a decision before he died makes me feel much more at ease."

Tsunade felt somewhat relieved. When Hiruzen Sarutobi was Hokage, many of his perplexing actions were due to the division of power.

Now, her power as the Fifth Hokage is comparable to that of Konoha when it was first established.

When things need to be discussed later, Jiraiya will definitely not object. And Kudo Yuuya, I never thought that the junior who asked her for advice on the Healing Technique would become the director of Konoha Hospital.

Moreover, her disciple was able to directly raise Konoha's medical standards by several levels.

"Even if the clan leaders object, it won't make a difference. According to Danzo, he will try to get the daimyo to agree to this. Logically speaking, this matter has nothing to do with the daimyo, but if the daimyo speaks up, it can basically be considered a done deal."

Jiraiya was somewhat moved. Although Danzo's actions were very perplexing, they did indeed bring benefits to Konoha.

The Hokage wields considerable power, and the three elders are unlikely to be incompetent. While there might be issues with the next Hokage, there is certainly no problem during Tsunade's tenure as Hokage.

The two walked toward the Hokage Building, chatting and laughing. However, before they arrived, they found Shizune standing quietly in the same spot, holding Tonton, seemingly waiting for them.

As Tsunade's apprentice, Shizune naturally returned with them. Since she and Jiraiya were also going to meet Danzo, Shizune was sent to the Hokage Building first to reassure the Konoha ninjas who had been busy for half a month.

However, Tsunade was somewhat confused by Shizune standing there in the rain.

"Mute, what's going on?"

Tsunade asked curiously, "Is Danzo alright, but the others are trying to cause trouble?"

"Lady Tsunade, the Hokage Building is gone..."

Shizune pointed to the pool of water at the corner and said calmly. Following her finger, Jiraiya and Tsunade both saw that the original location of the Hokage Building had been transformed into a huge lake.

……

"You mean the spy who attacked Danzo and took Kakashi's Sharingan tried to take the Scroll of Seals when no one was around in Konoha, so he destroyed the entire Hokage Building?"

Half an hour later, Tsunade looked at Nara Shikaku in front of her and asked with some curiosity.

Jiraiya, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded. How could such a thing have happened when they left?

The fact that the spy, who possessed a bloodline limit and was skilled in medical ninjutsu, chose to launch an attack at this time was quite unexpected for Jiraiya.

Why not just sneak in and take it while things are chaotic during the Chunin Exams?

Why wait until now? Was he not in Konoha during the Chunin Exams, so he missed it?

Speaking of which, there was indeed a long interval between each of that guy's previous actions.

"That's how it is. The invaders were eventually repelled by the Root ninjas, but judging from their battle, it seems neither side could gain the upper hand..."

Nara Shikaku shook his head helplessly. It was really a headache that such a guy had been lurking in Konoha all this time.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Jiraiya exchanged a glance. Having surveyed the scene, they naturally knew the terrifying destructive power.

It now seems that the one at the Root base and the one who invaded Konoha are undoubtedly both Kage-level, and their strength is even comparable to theirs.

"That's the situation. What's certain now is that he has left Konoha. As for whether it's related to Kumogakure, we need to confirm that with further information..."

Nara Shikaku continued, "After the Third Hokage died, most of the ninja activities in Konoha have stopped, and these matters definitely need to be handled by Tsunade."

However, there were still many things that Nara Shikaku handled during this period, and now that the new Hokage has arrived, it is natural that all of these things need to be explained clearly.

"Let's leave it at that for now. You've worked hard these past few days."

Looking at Nara Shikaku with his dark circles under his eyes, Tsunade felt a little regretful. Could the Hokage always be this busy?

"Shizune, come with me to Konoha Hospital."

Whether as Hokage or a medical ninja, Tsunade needs to visit Konoha Hospital. According to Nara Shikaku, Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke have not yet been discharged.

This surprised Tsunade. Could it be that the brat didn't know how to treat patients who were knocked unconscious by genjutsu?

If so, Tsunade would naturally treat them personally; if not, she would need to meet with Kudo Yuuya and that brat named Hiroji.

Konoha Hospital.

In the ward, Kakashi quietly looked at Yamato in front of him. He had woken up a long time ago and was actually able to be discharged from the hospital long ago.

But recently, nothing much has happened in Konoha, and since he had just regained consciousness and was still recovering, he saw the Thunder of Elimination over the Hokage Building.

Just as he was about to go and help, he was told that someone was already blocking him and that he wouldn't be able to help anyway.

Then, Yamato, who was only half a body, was pushed into the ward. Seeing the familiar Yamato in this state, Kakashi decided to stay and take care of him for a while.

"You look like you're recovering well."

As Kakashi was reading "Icha Icha Paradise," a voice that was both strange and familiar came from inside. He subconsciously turned around and saw Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Shizune standing at the door of the ward.

The one speaking was undoubtedly Tsunade. Seeing Kakashi so energetic, she felt much more at ease. It seemed that Kudo Yuuya's apprentice was truly outstanding, after all, that was Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Kakashi was pleasantly surprised. Now that Lady Tsunade had returned, Konoha was basically settled, since the Hokage position had been vacant for more than half a month.

Tsunade nodded in response, then looked at Yamato lying on the hospital bed beside her. She didn't know much about him, after all, the Anbu's information security level was very high.

But after hearing about this from Shikaku Nara, Tsunade remained silent after briefly examining the wound.

If it were her, there would definitely be no way to cure him, but this person's condition is different from what Nara Shikaku said. Nara Shikaku said that he only had half a body left, but at this moment he was only missing his legs.

Without a doubt, this was the method of that genius medical ninja. Although they hadn't met yet, Tsunade knew clearly that she had been surpassed.

Chapter 192 Humiliating Himself, First Meeting with Tsunade

According to Hongzhi, it will take him about half a month to recover, but if he wants to carry out a mission, he will need at least a month of rehabilitation training.

When Tsunade looked at Yamato, Kakashi stepped forward to explain that he didn't think the person who was about to become Hokage had nothing better to do than come to the Konoha Hospital to offer condolences.

It's highly likely they came to discuss something with Dean Kudo Yuya, and seeing them was probably just something they did on their way.

"Very well, where is the Hongzhi you mentioned now?"

Tsunade nodded. She had heard Jiraiya mention this ninjutsu before, and she was incredibly shocked at the time. How could it be successful?

But after noticing Kakashi's eyes and this ANBU member, Tsunade had no more doubts. Someone who could create a bloodline limit wouldn't have any problem creating a medical ninjutsu that was ahead of its time.

Rumble~

Before Tsunade could finish speaking, a clap of thunder came directly from above the ward, and everyone who heard the sound looked up at the ceiling in unison.

"Hongzhi should be watching Uchiha Sasuke train from the rooftop..."

Kakashi said with some helplessness, "Sasuke, who is still recovering, seems to have had some inspiration after seeing the terrifying lightning, and he went out to train that afternoon."

If it weren't for the nurses going to the rooftop for some fresh air at night, they probably wouldn't have been able to find Uchiha Sasuke, who had been struck by lightning and turned into a black limited edition.

The next day, Sasuke Uchiha went again, full of energy, but the result was the same. So, having nothing else to do, Hiroji followed him up.

"The rooftop?!"

"train?!"

Tsunade and Jiraiya both looked confused; they simply couldn't understand what kind of training could be conducted on a rooftop.

After a moment's hesitation, the two of them simultaneously recalled Nara Shikaku's words: the ninjutsu used by the intruder before leaving seemed to have been released from the clouds.

Is this what they're training for?

"Take us to see it."

After roughly understanding, Tsunade spoke directly to Kakashi, saying, "Leaving aside whether this training is miraculous or not, Hiroji is there."

Her purpose in coming to Konoha Hospital was to see the genius named Hiroji and to discuss the follow-up matters with Kudo Yuuya, as the director of Konoha Hospital had a lot of things to deal with.

This means that the handover process will be very troublesome. If Kudo Yuya is promoted to elder, these things will need to be handed over.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kudo Yuya's successor will be Hiroji, and the elder seat proposed by Danzo is more for her disciple, Hiroji, than for Kudo Yuya.
