The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

The next second, Hiroji felt a transformation in his blood, which was undoubtedly caused by Naruto's stem cells.

The blood slowly nourished his entire body, making Hongzhi feel somewhat comfortable. This process lasted for a full three hours.

When it was all over, Hiroji found that his chakra had been enhanced once again, and now he had undoubtedly surpassed Hashirama Senju.

It's a pity that even multiple shadow clones have a limit to the number they can create, otherwise the speed of cultivation could continue to improve.

Perhaps because Naruto Uzumaki's stem cells and Hashirama Senju's stem cells can complement each other, Hiroji was able to sense that this special energy had been completely condensed in his genes.

The Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki bloodlines are completely etched into his genes. Hiroji is unsure whether he can continue to accept the genes from the Hyuga, Kaguya, Hagoromo, and Hamura bloodlines.

Hongzhi certainly won't stop there, but he'll have to be more cautious next time they merge.

However, there's nothing else that particularly needs a transplant.

The conditions for activating the Rinnegan have been met. Not only have they been met, but there's also an additional stem cell from Hashirama Senju.

Chapter 198 Reluctantly Agreeing, the Root of Everything

Hongzhi will definitely not continue the fusion in the short term; the awakening of the Rinnegan signifies a transformation.

This also means that it is safe for Hongzhi to fuse with other bloodlines after he awakens the Rinnegan.

Of course, all of this is still just speculation. As for the specifics, Hongzhi still intends to investigate further.

The technology in the entire ninja world is completely out of its element. There are even high-end instruments that can test genes, but there are no cell phones.

The next morning, Hiroji went directly to Konoha Hospital and had his own cells and some blood tested.

The final result was roughly as expected, but the difference was still significant when compared to Hongzhi's original genes.

This was originally a good thing, but the final result made Hongzhi realize that there was a danger in injecting bloodline and fusing again, and that it was very likely to lead to Hongzhi's complete death.

Having lost his last bit of hope, Hongzhi prepared to accelerate his actions against Uchiha Obito. He had gathered the bloodlines of Uchiha, Senju, and Uzumaki, but still did not feel any special changes in his body.

Moreover, the original cells came from Sasuke Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, and Naruto Uzumaki, which certainly doesn't mean that Hongzhi himself lacked the conditions to awaken the Rinnegan.

Rather, there are other factors at play. Logically speaking, when the cells of the three people are fused, the chakra should also undergo some qualitative changes.

In other words, even if the activation of the Rinnegan requires the chakra of Indra and Ashura, Hongzhi should also possess it.

But there is still no sign of him activating the Rinnegan, not even the slightest feeling of it, which makes Hongzhi feel somewhat astonished.

If you carefully compare Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha after they awakened the Rinnegan, you'll see that both of them have the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. So, is the problem here?

That would be best; otherwise, we can only build a fully equipped world in the Divine Might Space as a last resort.

Regardless of which theory is being proposed, it requires Obito Uchiha's support. Speaking of which, there hasn't been any activity from the Shadow Clones for quite some time.

It's really giving me a headache. Although I've decided to take action against Obito Uchiha, a direct confrontation is unlikely. I can only hope that the shadow clones will send good news.

After tidying everything up and making sure nothing was left behind, Hiroji went directly to the office at Konoha Hospital. This office originally belonged to Kudo Yuya, but now it belonged to Hiroji.

Because of Kudo Yuya's promotion to elder, Hiroji was naturally seated here. At first, he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he quietly realized that this position was really great.

Putting everything else aside, he's basically happy to be able to slack off every day. Unless something major happens at Konoha Hospital, no one will notice Hiroji.

As for the rest, it requires daily signatures, which are basically equivalent to funds. These things are mostly fixed, and Hongzhi only needs to confirm that the amount on the form is fixed each time.

Perhaps it was because Hongzhi seemed rather relaxed, or perhaps it was simply because they needed a tool.

In the afternoon, while Hiroji was still studying the secret arts of the soul in his office, the door to his office was opened.

Kudo Yuya walked in with two other people. As the former dean and Hiroji's teacher, there was no problem with Kudo Yuya coming in like this.

But after seeing the two people behind her, Hongzhi turned his head and glanced at the window next to him.

"Hmm! This is the third floor. Even with the strength displayed by this identity, jumping down shouldn't be a problem."

Thinking this, Hiroji prepared to slip away. However, just as Hiroji got up, Kudo Yuya, who seemed to have seen through everything, reached out and closed the window next to him.

"It's so cold, it's not really appropriate to open the window!"

Kudo Yuya smiled at Hiroji, who looked up at the sun outside the window and realized she was right.

Karin and Sakura Haruno, who had come here with Yuuya Kudo, had somewhat strange expressions.

Karin has fully recovered. This was mainly because Hiroji felt he had enough blood, so he used his bloodline limit to heal her directly.

"As you know, I'm currently in charge of training medical ninjas and passing on medical ninjutsu, and you're the strongest in medical ninjutsu right now, so the two most talented ones will be entrusted to you..."

Kudo Yumi looked at Hiroji and spoke calmly. She had sent people over several times already, but each time the guy was either not there or jumped out the window and left as soon as he saw her.

He doesn't act like a dean at all!

"I don't think they're very talented..."

Hiroji smiled and retorted, and upon hearing this, Karin and Sakura Haruno's expressions turned somewhat unpleasant.

Kudo Yuya, standing to the side, didn't react much. Having good talent is one thing, but it depends on who you compare yourself to. If everyone were compared to you, there probably wouldn't be any medical ninjas left in Konoha.

"You just need to teach them. Even if they can't inherit your mantle, it would be great to train two ninjas who can learn the art of healing and regeneration."

Kudo Yuuya looked at Hiroji and smiled as she spoke. She refused to believe that her student could refuse her request so easily!

"Um... okay."

At this point, Hiroji had nothing to say. Before Kudo Yuya came, the shadow clone could have easily escaped.

But now that Kudo Yumi has come in person, Hiroji really has no way to escape. The root of all this is that so-called persona and that bullshit bond.

Seeing Hiroji nod, Kudo Yuya breathed a sigh of relief. If Konoha hadn't just stabilized and the major clans hadn't fully recovered, she wouldn't have had the chance to come here.

A promotion in position will inevitably lead to an increase in status. She already had a headache because of Hiroji's matter when she was the director of Konoha Hospital.

I thought that once I retired I wouldn't have to worry about Hongzhi anymore, but who would have thought that the final result would be like this!

The complete stabilization of the elders' seats means that the Anbu, the Sealing Squad, and Konoha Hospital will all see corresponding developments.

The Anbu are directly under the Hokage, and the Sealing Team is still in a state of confusion and reorganization. The only people that everyone can see and possibly curry favor with are those in the medical field.

A visit is definitely not allowed; coming directly to Konoha Hospital would be suicidal, not a proper visit.

As an elder of Konoha, Kudo Yuya would naturally have many visitors, especially since she was also Hiroji's teacher, and Hiroji was the next elder.

Most importantly, this person is a genius ninja with a medical bloodline limit, which means he is highly sought after.

Kudo Yuya started receiving invitations from other families yesterday, so she's sure to be incredibly busy for a while.

The root of all this was Hongzhi, who stood aside gazing at the distant scenery.

Chapter 199 Preliminary Requirements, Bloodline Elimination

"You really don't have anyone you like? Even if she's not a ninja, it'll be fine!"

As Kudo Yuya left, she still asked, unwilling to give up. She mainly wanted to get a definite answer to calm down those who wanted to jump straight into the limelight.

"No……"

Hiroji answered the question somewhat speechlessly. If the person in front of him wasn't Kudo Yuuya, Hiroji probably would have used Kotoamatsukami directly.

"OK then!"

Kudo Yuya was still a bit troubled because she didn't get the result she expected. Hiroji was an orphan, and the only person he had a decent relationship with was her, his teacher.

A medical bloodline limit, the youngest director of Konoha Hospital, and a future elder of Konoha—this identity is enough to make even the most powerful clans abandon their pride.

After all, the head of a large clan is at most a high-ranking member of Konoha, not a decision-maker.

If Hiroji has someone he likes, then Kudo Yuuya can naturally reject everyone, but if he doesn't, then it's not his personal matter.

Bloodline Limit!

Medical bloodline limits... Even though Tsunade-sama can't focus on that right now, once Konoha has fully recovered, this will definitely be something she needs to pay attention to.

If the bloodline limit can't be passed down, it will definitely be a regret for the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and it might even eventually turn into the Hokage pressuring her to get married...

Just thinking about it is quite exciting.

Kudo Yuya left, but Karin and Haruno Sakura were left behind.

Hiroji harbored no resentment towards Karin. If this girl were to study medical ninjutsu, she would undoubtedly be a genius; healing techniques are the best example.

However, the fact that Sakura Haruno was sent here caught Hiroji off guard, and he only had two words for her: disgust.

It's really annoying. Putting aside whether Sakura Haruno can learn it, even if she can, there's a possibility that she might unlock her bloodline limit.

Hongzhi would also feel a little uncomfortable. Why does this guy have a bloodline limit?

Based on the fact that she said such a thing?

……

Although he genuinely disliked them, Hongzhi still had to treat them all the same, since he hadn't intended to teach them in the first place anyway.

So what if Kudo Yuya sent people over? Hiroji is now the director of Konoha Hospital, so he still has some power.

After leading the two to the training room he had used before, Hongzhi looked at the neatly arranged contents on the bookshelves and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Your first task is to read all the books here. You don't need to understand them all, but you should at least get a general understanding so that you know which book contains what you're looking for when you flip through the pages later! That's my initial requirement for you..."

Hongzhi turned to the two bewildered people and spoke, then prepared to leave.

After they finish reading all this, it will take them at least a year. And after that, it's uncertain whether Hiroji will still be in Konoha.

Sakura Haruno, who was originally full of confidence, turned into a bitter face after hearing Hiroji's words.

I thought I would finally be able to learn from Hongzhi this time, but I never expected it to turn out like this!

And this is only a preliminary requirement?

You should know that after the Chunin Exams, she started studying at Konoha Hospital, and yesterday she finally managed to learn the Healing Jutsu, albeit with some difficulty.

I thought my moment of triumph was about to begin, but this is what happened!

Karin's expression was also somewhat strange. She still hadn't understood the Palm Immortal Technique, let alone cultivated it.

Faced with so many books, she felt her head buzzing.

"Hmm... learning the theory alone is not enough. If you have already learned healing techniques, you can go to the lowest level of the hospital to help out."

Noticing their expressions, Hongzhi added another sentence before preparing to slip away.

Learning something truly valuable isn't that simple!
