The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Darui looked anxiously at the director of the Cloud Village Hospital and asked, "If it weren't for the mistake, I would have been prepared to sacrifice some ninjutsu to ensure the safety of the Fourth Raikage."

"Given the medical capabilities of Kumogakure, it's difficult, but..."

The dean seemed to want to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he chose to remain silent.

"Um?!"

Noticing that the dean had stopped, Darui looked over with some curiosity. It was clear that Kumogakure was out of the question, but there was still a chance.

"According to information that came in a long time ago, Konoha possesses the ability to regenerate severed limbs..."

Chapter 210 Yang Lightning Chakra Mode

Before the dean could finish speaking, Darui understood that it was definitely not possible for Kumogakure to cure him, but Konoha, with Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, still had a chance.

They had obtained a lot of information about Konoha before, and what surprised Kumogakure the most was undoubtedly the Kumogakure spies active in Konoha.

Previously, the Hidden Cloud Village believed that this person might actually be one of theirs, since not all spies who infiltrate Konoha maintain contact with the Hidden Cloud Village.

However, reality gave Kumogakure a resounding slap in the face. If I'm not mistaken, the one who turned the Fourth Raikage into this wretched state was none other than the so-called Kumogakure spy.

Besides these, there are some strange stories about Konoha, such as the appearance of a demon medical ninja at Konoha Hospital.

When word got back that he possessed superb medical ninjutsu, even capable of repairing severed limbs, no one wanted to believe it.

Later, the spies sent by the Hidden Cloud Village mysteriously disappeared, which caused the Hidden Cloud Village to lose its source of intelligence.

If the initial intelligence was correct, there was still hope for the Fourth Raikage's recovery.

However, the relationship between Kumogakure and Konoha was not good. Before Tsunade succeeded as the Fifth Hokage, the Raikage once asked her to treat one of his subordinates.

Back then, we didn't care about each other's identities, but now it's very difficult. Putting aside whether Konoha would agree, there are already some problems with Kumogakure alone.

However, this is not without its problems. If Konoha truly had a way to regenerate severed limbs, then all these problems would be solved.

The worst outcome would be simply electing a new Raikage, right?

However, if the Raikage continues to remain like this, the Hidden Cloud Village will eventually need to choose a new Raikage.

To put it bluntly, apart from the Raikage and Killer Bee, the current Hidden Cloud Village suffers from a significant power gap.

In other words, there is no one who can take over the position of Raikage for the time being.

"Take good care of Lord Raikage, I'll handle the rest."

In the end, Darui decided to give it a try; the Hidden Cloud Village couldn't afford to lose the Raikage.

As for Konoha, if the conditions are good enough, they might be able to reluctantly agree to this.

However, there are still many conflicts between the two sides, and this matter may not be easily resolved, especially for the Hyuga clan of Konoha.

The Hidden Cloud Village could be said to have offended them terribly back then.

Darui, having left the Hidden Cloud Hospital, slowly walked towards the Black Lightning Tower. He was someone recognized by the Raikage as qualified to enter the forbidden zone.

If the Raikage abdicates and there is still no son suitable to succeed him, he will become the next Raikage.

But Darui didn't want to become the Raikage; in his eyes, the Raikage-sama was the true Raikage.

As Darui slowly approached the Black Lightning Tower, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Because of the Black Lightning within him, Darui always felt like he was coming home whenever he came here.

However, this time when he came here, he felt as if he had come to the wrong house and arrived at someone else's house.

With a heavy heart, Darui ran a few steps and found the lock lying to the side. At that moment, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

As he hurriedly entered, Darui's expression gradually froze.

Gone!

The black lightning left by the Second Raikage was completely gone, which was a fatal blow to Darui.

Recalling everything that had happened, Darui gradually understood why the intruder had been stalling outside.

His goal was to have his companions loot the entire Hidden Cloud Village.

The secret scrolls are almost all gone, the Black Spot Lightning is gone, and the Chakra Cannon is gone too.

The disappearance of these things means that the strength of Kumogakure has decreased by at least one-third, if we add the death of Lord Yukito and the tragedy of the Fourth Raikage.

The strength of Kumogakure was essentially cut in half. Under such circumstances, let alone plotting against other ninja villages, it would be good enough if they didn't attract the attention of Iwagakure, who was eyeing them covetously.

At the base in the Land of Waves.

White lightning bolts appeared on Hongzhi's body. Unlike the simple chakra releases before, this time the lightning operated in a special way, which not only increased his defense but, more importantly, enhanced his physical vitality.

Compared to Hongzhi's previous body tempering effects, it was a world of difference. If he continued to train like this, Hongzhi's chakra would not improve much, but his physique would leap forward.

This is the Lightning Release Chakra Mode; for Hongzhi, it should be the Yang Lightning Chakra Mode.

[Yang Lightning Chakra Mode: 50%]

With the arrival of the information, Hongzhi also shut down the terrifying mode and handed it over to his shadow clone for training.

As for Hell Thrust, Hongzhi plans to use it to improve Raikiri and Chidori Sharp Spear, which can greatly enhance their destructive power.

As for the Thunder Armor, there's nothing that can be improved, unless you extract all of Gaara's chakra and see how his mother achieves absolute defense.

If you can figure it out, you can create a Yang Lei version of Absolute Defense.

However, there was really nothing worth taking action against in Sunagakure at the moment, so Hiroji had to temporarily abandon the plan.

After completing his research on the secret technique, Hongzhi arrived at the bottom of the base, a place used to store some special items.

The chakra cannons from Kumogakure and the descendants of the Hagoromo clan are both placed here.

There's no need to research the Chakra Cannon for now; even if we did, Hongzhi probably wouldn't be able to replicate it.

As for the descendants of the Hagoromo clan, it would be very easy for Hongzhi to confirm whether he was a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths.

Take some blood directly and let it fuse with the stem cells. If it can fuse together using the Holy Healing method, then it can be basically confirmed.

After conducting the experiment for one hour, Hongzhi obtained the final result.

The Sage of Six Paths seems honest, but actually there's something a little off about him.

The Uchiha clan, the Uzumaki clan, the Senju clan, and the Hagoromo clan all derive their lineage from the Sage of Six Paths.

But the Sage of Six Paths only recorded two sons, didn't he?

Could it be that Ashura and Indra had other younger siblings? Or perhaps older siblings? When the Sage of Six Paths traveled throughout the ninja world, there might be many more hidden stories.

However, none of these things need to concern Hongzhi. Once the genes have reached their limit, Hongzhi will decide whether to continue transplanting after the next transformation.

After digesting the gains from his trip to Kumogakure, Hongzhi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to his home in Konoha.

The shadow clone was still standing there, lost in thought. It seemed no one had come to disturb it recently.

Just as Hongzhi was thinking this, a knock on the door suddenly rang out.

Chapter 211 Being Hokage is So Hard

The knocking was quite abrupt.

Even Hongzhi felt somewhat confused, as the most likely thing to happen in Konoha right now was Uchiha Sasuke's defection.

Hongzhi spent less than seven days in Kumogakure. Uchiha Sasuke hadn't even gone on a mission a few days ago, so what's with him knocking on the door now?

Is Uchiha Tsuchiya desperate and has led the Akatsuki to invade Konoha, or is Tsunade getting married?

If it weren't for something so important, no one would have bothered me, but that's exactly what happened.

Hongzhi opened the door with a puzzled look in his eyes, only to find himself facing someone he couldn't get angry at.

Kudo Yuya.

"It seems you're doing well. The Hokage is looking for you."

Upon seeing Hiroji, Kudo Yuya spoke calmly, feeling that Hiroji was very strange and didn't seem to be researching anything inside.

"What's the matter?"

Hongzhi asked curiously, "Konoha is very stable now, it can be said to have recovered to the level it was when the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was still alive."

"I don't know the specifics, but Lady Tsunade specifically asked you to come."

Kudo Yuya shook her head. She was also a little confused about Tsunade's idea. Logically speaking, shouldn't Hiroji be allowed to keep researching and see if he could come up with any new results?

"understood."

Hongzhi nodded, then closed the door and walked directly towards the Hokage's office. Although he didn't know what Tsunade was up to, Hongzhi wasn't worried.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade looked at the scroll in front of her with a worried expression. It was a scroll sent by the Anbu, but the contents were not written by the Anbu.

Instead, it was an elite Jonin named Darui from Kumogakure who obtained the scroll from the Anbu at the border of the Land of Fire and immediately sent it over. However, the contents of the scroll left Tsunade feeling extremely conflicted.

Tsunade had some knowledge of what had happened in Kumogakure a few days ago. The invaders who had escaped from Konoha had killed the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, weakening Kumogakure's strength.

When she received this news, Tsunade was quite pleased. Kumogakure was the enemy, and the invaders weakened Kumogakure's strength, so Tsunade, as the Hokage, was naturally happy.

Konoha's current strength is definitely not comparable to Kumogakure's. If Kumogakure's strength is weakened, it can bring the two sides into a state of peace.

However, the arrival of the second piece of information made Tsunade feel somewhat excited: the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure had been directly defeated and had fallen into a coma and had not yet woken up.

While Tsunade was enjoying the show, she received a scroll from the Anbu this morning, the contents of which gave her a sense of horror.

The Hidden Cloud Village, which has always wanted to target Konoha, actually wants the Fourth Raikage to come here for treatment and is willing to offer a lot of benefits.

They were even willing to apologize to the Hyuga clan, which made Tsunade undecided for a moment, since the Hidden Cloud Village didn't seem like a good person.

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was tricked by the Hidden Cloud Village. In addition, when they surrendered, the Hidden Cloud Village even took the opportunity to extort a corpse from the Hyuga clan.

This is a blood feud, how could it be easily let go?

Just as Tsunade was unable to make up her mind, Jiraiya returned. After a brief discussion, the two reached a rather awkward conclusion.

Only Hongzhi was capable of creating an improved version of the healing and regeneration technique. Even if everyone agreed, it would all be in vain if Hongzhi disagreed.

As a result, Hongzhi's seclusion was directly interrupted, and it was Kudo Yuya who interrupted him. Tsunade was very clear about the importance of seclusion, so she let Kudo Yuya, who would not offend Hongzhi, interrupt him.

"Do you think the Hidden Cloud Village might cause trouble?!"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya beside her and asked with some curiosity, "When Jiraiya disappeared before, he said he was going to investigate something, but judging from his expression, the investigation didn't seem to be going very smoothly."

"It shouldn't be that bad. The entire Hidden Cloud Village has suffered heavy losses. There's no need for them to cause trouble over the Fourth Raikage's affairs. Besides, if they were to cause trouble, the Fourth Raikage is here with us."
