The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Jiraiya spoke calmly, not worried about this matter at all, but more worried about something else: after driving away Uchiha Itachi, the Four Red Sun Formation suddenly appeared outside the town.

At that time, Jiraiya had left his shadow clones there. Although he didn't get any information in the end, when he went back to investigate, he found that the battle that day seemed to be more than it appeared.

On one side of the battle are Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, both of whom are S-rank rogue ninja. The person fighting them can use the Four Red Yang Formation, which is clearly a barrier ninjutsu of Konoha.

Because of the existence of the Four Red Yang Formation, the outcome of that battle is probably unknown to anyone except those involved, which makes Jiraiya somewhat curious.

Who exactly leaked the Four Red Yang Formation, and who ambushed Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki? What was their purpose?

"While this thinking isn't wrong, what if their target is Hongzhi?"

Tsunade leaned on her desk with both hands and spoke with a hint of helplessness. Although she didn't know if the Hidden Cloud Village was truly unaware of the medical bloodline limit, the regeneration technique was enough to tempt them.

"It shouldn't be that bad..."

Jiraiya was somewhat taken aback. If Hiroji was taken away, would there still be any need for the Hidden Cloud Village to exist?

Now that the Hidden Cloud Village is severely weakened, Konoha has the strength to fight them to the death if war really breaks out.

That guy's Flying Thunder God Technique will definitely leave a deep impression on the Hidden Cloud Village. Anyone below the Kage level who encounters the Flying Thunder God Technique can basically start thinking about where it was buried.

Moreover, according to Danzo, that guy basically learned forbidden techniques. Mastering even one of Konoha's forbidden techniques is already very powerful. If he had learned several, he would have been a carbon copy of the Second Hokage.

They shouldn't have forgotten that the Second Hokage single-handedly delayed the entire Hidden Cloud Village's pursuit force so quickly, right?

"Never mind, let's ask Hiroji what he thinks first. If he's willing, then we can discuss whether to agree to Kumogakure's request."

Tsunade shook her head helplessly. The Hidden Cloud Village was a repeat offender, so they still had to be careful in dealing with them.

If the Hidden Cloud Village really came to treat the illness, that would be the best outcome, as it would at least mean that the two sides could coexist peacefully for a short period of time.

But if they're here to cause trouble, it becomes extremely complicated, since there are three other ninja villages besides Kumogakure that are eyeing us covetously!

Despite the numerous agreements recently signed by Sunagakure, they would certainly not hesitate to launch a counterattack if given the chance for revenge.

In addition, there's that old guy from Iwagakure, who might even want to destroy both Kumogakure and Konoha at the same time.

"Sigh... Being Hokage is so hard!"

Chapter 212 Is the Fourth Raikage really that weak?

When Hongzhi arrived at the Hokage's office, he saw Tsunade with a worried expression. She was slumped over her desk, and Jiraiya's eyes kept glancing at her from time to time.

Upon seeing this scene, both Hiroji and Kudo Yuya's lips twitched.

"You've arrived."

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Upon seeing Hiroji and Kudo Yuya, Tsunade immediately sat up.

"What is it, Lord Hokage?"

Hongzhi asked curiously, "Uchiha Sasuke hasn't defected yet, so logically there shouldn't be anything involving him."

Moreover, given Konoha's current lineup, Orochimaru wouldn't be foolish enough to let a few people from Sound Village come here at this time to deceive Uchiha Sasuke.

"There's a rather troublesome matter. The Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure had his arm broken by an intruder who once tried to steal the Scroll of Seals, and they want to invite us to treat him... Do you think we should agree to this?"

Tsunade spoke calmly, saying that although the scroll was sent in Darui's personal name, it concerned the safety of the Fourth Raikage, and the Hidden Cloud Village had no choice but to agree.

Hongzhi: ? ? ?

Hearing Tsunade's words, Hongzhi was speechless. What the hell?! They're coming to Konoha to talk about things from Kumogakure.

Is the Fourth Raikage really that fragile? When the Thunder Spear exploded, didn't he transform all his chakra into Thunder Armor?

The Thunder Spear is just a Storm Release ninjutsu. Hongzhi hasn't been able to create the Yang Lightning version yet. Hongzhi felt that he could kill Yugito directly because the Thunder Spear pierced through her body. However, the Fourth Raikage's injuries directly negated this.

"If the Hidden Cloud Village doesn't pull any tricks, it's not impossible."

After a moment of silence, Hongzhi readily agreed. He wanted to personally verify the Fourth Raikage's injuries in order to determine the true power of the Thunder Spear.

As for whether he would turn against the Fourth Raikage after healing him, that's not even a question.

If he turns hostile, Hongzhi can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teach this guy another lesson. If he accidentally cripples him again this time, the Hidden Cloud Village will definitely be too ashamed to continue requesting treatment.

Even if compensation is offered, it's impossible. Of course, healing the Fourth Raikage also provides a guarantee: to prevent Obito Uchiha from desperately starting to collect the Tailed Beasts and then slowly waiting for the Two-Tails to be reborn.

However, Hongzhi's safety is definitely not a problem. If the Hidden Cloud Village goes too far, they can simply send the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki to heaven at some point.

"If you agree, let's wait quietly for news from Kumogakure."

Seeing that Hongzhi had agreed, Tsunade immediately agreed as well. For Konoha, which had just caught its breath, being able to obtain sufficient benefits from Kumogakure and also prevent Kumogakure from attacking for a period of time was simply wonderful.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity to demonstrate Konoha's strength. If Kumogakure sees Konoha's current strength, they will probably never act rashly again.

And then there's Iwagakure, which has been sending spies to the Land of Fire lately. If Onoki gets specific information about the Flying Thunder God Technique, he'll probably quiet down for a while.

"Jiraiya, go to Root and find that guy. Get ready for a meeting!"

Having made up her mind, Tsunade calmly said that this matter could be considered a big deal. Although they had already made their decision, they still needed to go through a process. If that guy was unwilling to be a bodyguard, then this matter would need to be discussed in detail.

Kudo Yuya, who was standing to the side, seemed to want to say something, but after seeing Hiroji's completely indifferent expression, she could only silently pray that nothing unexpected would happen.

At the Root base, the shadow clone left behind stared blankly at the empty Root headquarters. Danzo, resurrected through Edo Tensei, was no longer there. Koji had originally planned to announce Danzo's death while things were quiet in Konoha.

This led to the Shadow Clones already being prepared, resulting in the unexpected events in Kumogakure.

However, this is not a big deal. Danzo no longer has any power. Even if he dies, Tsunade and Jiraiya will at most visit his grave and then continue with what they were doing.

As for a memorial service, that's impossible. There are many people in Konoha who have a bad impression of Danzo. If they go to great lengths to hold a memorial service, only to find that everyone is criticizing Danzo, wouldn't that be extremely embarrassing for Root, the elders of Konoha?

"What's the matter?"

When Jiraiya appeared outside the Root base, he was immediately stopped by a shadow clone. There was nothing left in the Root base. Although they wouldn't mind letting Jiraiya in, there was no need to.

According to the plan, the shadow clone will convey the news of Danzo's death today.

"Meeting."

Jiraiya didn't say much. He suspected that the root was responsible for what happened in the wild, but he didn't have any evidence.

Moreover, this person doesn't seem like Danzo, so there's no need for him to investigate further. If it is, it would definitely be good news for Konoha.

"Oh."

The shadow clone nodded and then walked directly towards the Hokage's office building. Jiraiya turned around as well, but as he left, he looked back at the Root base and felt that the gloomy atmosphere there seemed to have disappeared a lot.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

……

"That's roughly the situation. If the Hidden Cloud Village is willing to accept the conditions, the two sides will hold a medical consultation for the Fourth Raikage in a small town in the middle of the village..."

In the small meeting room, Tsunade calmly said that Konoha would definitely take advantage of the treatment of the Fourth Raikage, since Kumogakure needed Konoha's help.

"Is the Fourth Raikage really that weak?"

After Tsunade finished speaking, the shadow clone couldn't help but mutter to himself. He would recall his shadow clone once a day, so he naturally knew what had happened in Kumogakure. It was precisely because he knew that he felt somewhat surprised.

"Forehead……"

Tsunade, who was about to say something, was speechless. It's not a problem that you can contend with him, but the Raikage is really not weak!

"That's not the point. The point is that we need you to protect the child's safety. Only your Flying Thunder God Technique can ensure that."

Kudo Yuumi, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. To her, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure was nothing compared to Hiroji's safety.

"no problem."

The corner of his mouth twitched under the shadow clone mask. "I'm protecting myself, how could anything go wrong? But if things go wrong with the Hidden Cloud Village, they'll probably be wiped out again."

At that point, even the last tailed beast might not be able to survive; it would either be killed by its original form or brought directly to Konoha.

Chapter 213 Unexpected Harvest

The Hidden Cloud Village acted swiftly. As soon as the Leaf Village decided to agree to the conditions, the Hidden Cloud Village immediately dispatched ninjas to determine whether the Leaf Village had the capability.

Clearly, they were still somewhat wary of Konoha, after all, he was the Fourth Raikage. Although he was seriously injured, he was still the Raikage!

Hiroji had no thoughts on this, and after the meeting ended, he even had a shadow clone keep watch while his main body returned directly to the base in the Land of Waves.

Hongzhi sat here and began to study the composition of the Black Spotted Lightning, hoping to obtain a brand new bloodline limit. No matter how terrifying the Holy Healing was, it was still a medical ninjutsu, while Lightning Release was the core of Hongzhi's combat power.

Yang Lightning, which combines Yang and Lightning attributes; Storm Release, which combines Lightning and Water attributes; and even Yin Lightning, which is already in the planning stages, are all based on the Lightning attribute.

If we could directly transform the original lightning attribute into black-spotted lightning, then we wouldn't be far from reaching the Bloodline Elimination level.

Hongzhi spent a long time researching it. After all, if something like Black Spotted Lightning could be used as a bloodline limit, the Hidden Cloud Village should definitely be able to create it. If they couldn't, it doesn't mean the Hidden Cloud Village was too bad, but rather that there were some problems.

After studying it for three days, Hongzhi gave up trying to understand the composition of the Black Spotted Lightning. It was like pure, natural lightning, and no matter how the chakra changed, it was impossible to completely simulate it.

However, Hongzhi could still succeed in obtaining this item by modifying Orochimaru's cursed seal and injecting the Black Spotted Lightning stored within his body into it, allowing it to slowly integrate into his body.

Once these black-spotted lightning bolts are completely absorbed, the bloodline limit black-spotted lightning bolt will naturally be born.

The problem now is that Orochimaru's cursed seal cannot contain the Black Spot Lightning, at least not with the cursed seal technology that Hongzhi has mastered.

The problem has now become a research issue, but it's not impossible. The cursed seal itself has the function of carrying and fusing chakra. If it is combined with the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique, it might be possible to achieve Hongzhi's goal.

The most ingenious part is that Tsunade, in order to enhance Hiroji's ability to survive unexpected events, had already given him the scroll of the Hundred Healings Technique.

The foundation of the Hundred Healings Technique is the Yin Seal, so Hongzhi naturally had no problem learning it. Moreover, the Hundred Healings Technique and the Yin Healing and Destruction Technique actually had some kind of compatibility, which can be described as a twist of fate.

Inside the base, Hongzhi slowly opened his eyes, behind him were dense white patterns.

This is the Hundred Healings Technique, a pattern constructed from two dantian, which is more complex and intricate.

However, Hongzhi was still quite satisfied with this. The Hundred Healings Technique actively allows the chakra stored in the Yin Seal to repair the body, while the Yin Healing and Destruction Technique originally aimed to determine the location of the injury and heal it in advance before the injury occurred.

However, Hongzhi has a lot of chakra, some of which is always dormant in various parts of his body. He doesn't need to painstakingly predict the future. As soon as he is injured, his chakra will directly transform into holy healing energy and then begin to heal.

Yin Seal stores chakra; Hundred Healings Technique actively releases the Yin Seal to allow chakra to heal; Yin Healing and Destruction passively heals.

The combination of these three elements, when improved, transforms the Hundred Healings Technique into an ability that surpasses even Hashirama Senju's passive abilities. When injured, the Hundred Healings Technique and Yin Healing and Destruction Technique automatically activate, repairing the body's injuries.

Seven days later, after completing these combinations, Hongzhi in the base took out a kunai and cut his arm. White holy healing energy immediately appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared without a trace.

Hongzhi himself possesses recovery abilities comparable to or even surpassing those of Hashirama Senju. Now, by combining these three ninjutsu techniques, he only needs to ensure that the chakra in his dantian is never mobilized, allowing it to supply the consumption of the Hundred Healings Technique and Yin Healing Destruction.

Hongzhi would basically not be able to be assassinated, and this combination is in a passive form, but there will be two stages. One is that the chakra channels constructed by the Yin Seal are sufficient, in which case there will not even be any trace of the Hundred Healings Technique being released on Hongzhi.

The second scenario is when there isn't enough chakra meridians. In that case, patterns from the Hundred Healings Technique will appear on Hongzhi's body, and he will be passively repaired.

"Another incredible combination ninjutsu that no one else can replicate!"
