The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Through the relentless efforts of the Shadow Clones, all seven basic chakra transformations, except for those that still require waiting for the Yin attribute transformation of Obito Uchiha's eyes, have reached the limit +10.

The next step may involve a long period of research into entirely new curse marks and soul techniques.

This period of time is certainly not a time to let the shadow clones sit idle; it's just the right time to use them to train the Ice Release and Wood Release techniques that I already knew how to synthesize before.

The former is a bloodline limit, while the latter is a bloodline elimination. Having studied the ratio, Hongzhi was able to fully condense it in just seven days.

The final result was that, apart from the change in fire attribute, the other six attributes were completely engraved in the genes.

As for the fire element, Hongzhi hasn't encountered it yet, but he'll have time to develop it eventually.

Of course, Hongzhi didn't completely cut off everything. Besides the two shadow clones from Konoha, there were still two shadow clones wandering around the ninja world.

One of them, wearing a mask belonging to the Hidden Mist Village's pursuit force, was wandering around aimlessly, his main target being the Three-Tails, which might have been reborn.

If we find it, we'll mark it and then eliminate it when the Akatsuki begin collecting the Tailed Beasts.

As for the other shadow clones, they secretly followed Naruto Uzumaki. The Nine-Tails was of paramount importance, and besides being easier to hide, there was another very important reason for them to stay in Konoha: if things went wrong, they could directly kill the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.

It will take at least ten years for the Nine-Tails to be reborn. Even if the Akatsuki collects the other eight tailed beasts by then, they will still be unable to obtain the Nine-Tails' chakra.

As for those scattered fragments of Nine-Tails chakra, Hongzhi would naturally find a way to deal with them, since those chakra might still be able to revive the Ten-Tails.

While Hongzhi was conducting his research, he followed Naruto's shadow clone and discovered something quite interesting.

The Lightning Blade, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, is now in use. Since we've encountered this sword, we need to send someone else out, such as attacking a ninja from Kumogakure who possesses a bloodline limit!

The shadow clone changed its appearance and reappeared with great effect, easily taking down the lightning blade, and even bringing along a little brat with a red-eyed bloodline limit.

As for Team 3 and Naruto Uzumaki, just as they were about to carry out their mission, they saw a white bolt of lightning completely destroy the entire mountain.

This mission naturally could not continue.

Of course, such a high-profile approach would definitely attract attention, and Bai Jue happened to witness this scene.

It was at this time that Obito Uchiha, sensing that the Eye of the Moon plan had gone wrong, found Kisame Hoshigaki.

Since Itachi Uchiha's death, Kisame Hoshigaki has been idle, and even the Akatsuki organization has not given him any missions.

How could Obito Uchiha not notice such a strange thing? In the previous team, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki checked each other, which was arranged by him and also what Nagato wanted to see.

However, Itachi Uchiha died while Kisame Hoshigaki was perfectly fine, which seemed rather strange.

In addition, the death of the Two-Tails Jinchuriki forced the Akatsuki to operate discreetly, resulting in fewer missions.

Then Kisame Hoshigaki, who was recommended by Obito Uchiha, would naturally become idle.

"Mr. Madara, someone told me your name is Uchiha Obito. Is that true?!"

Obito Uchiha had just appeared in front of Kisame Hoshigaki and hadn't even had a chance to say anything when he heard Kisame ask him this question.

Then came Samehada's slash. If Kamui hadn't been considered a passive ability, Obito Uchiha would probably have had his chakra drained directly.

"Where did you learn this name from?"

Although he was caught off guard by the question, Obito Uchiha did not immediately lose his temper. Instead, he wanted to find out who knew his secret.

As someone who had always been lurking in the shadows, even within the Akatsuki organization, very few people knew his identity as "Uchiha Madara".

Now that he's being directly called Uchiha Obito, how could Uchiha Obito not feel horrified?

"Looks like it's true. I never thought you were a liar!"

Kisame Hoshigaki, who originally only wanted to test the waters, suddenly felt like the whole world was deceiving him when he saw Obito Uchiha's nervous appearance.

The terrifying water-style attack completely submerged the base where the two were meeting. Kisame Hoshigaki, who was in the water, fused with Samehada and then charged directly at Obito Uchiha, who was in the water.

Faced with Kisame Hoshigaki's rapid approach, Obito Uchiha was somewhat dumbfounded. Although he knew that being exposed would be extremely troublesome, he did not expect Kisame Hoshigaki to be so desperate and to play such a big game right from the start.

His divine power can only last for a maximum of five minutes, and he must be a physical being when he teleports.

In other words, facing an opponent like Kisame Hoshigaki, who can completely change the surrounding terrain, is extremely difficult; one wrong move and you could be caught off guard and lose your life.

Kisame Hoshigaki, arriving at lightning speed, pierced right through Obito Uchiha, showing no sign of discouragement.

Although the person in front of him was not Madara Uchiha, as someone who had carried out missions with Itachi Uchiha, he still knew clearly how terrifying the Uchiha clan was.

He even suspected that every time he carried out a mission, he was alone, and the entire ocean was covered by his chakra. He could clearly see Uchiha Obito in front of him, but he could not sense the guy's presence.

This might be the reason why Obito Uchiha could act so mysteriously—his eyes were just as troublesome as Itachi's.

Having experienced the battle between Itachi and Shisui Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki finally understood some things.

After the eyes of the Uchiha clan evolve, each person gains a special ability. It is likely that Obito Uchiha's special ability is due to that eye.

The battle in the vast ocean continues, and there are only a dozen seconds left before the five-minute limit for Shenwei is reached. A sense of crisis can already be felt.

If Kisame Hoshigaki continues like this, the situation will become even more troublesome. His chakra is simply monstrous, and stalling for time is definitely not a viable option.

Although he possesses Hashirama cells, he will still go blind if he overuses his Mangekyou Sharingan.

Chapter 220 couldn't possibly be Madara Uchiha!

The duration of Kamui ended, and Obito Uchiha immediately felt unimaginable pressure coming from all directions, a suffocating feeling.

If things continue like this, they will definitely die; this was Obito Uchiha's thought.

Upon realizing that he could sense Obito Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki immediately used Water Release: Thousand Sharks, which consisted of numerous sharks made of water-style chakra, and swam frantically toward Obito.

Upon witnessing this scene, Obito Uchiha clearly sensed the danger. If things continued like this, he would probably be worn down and killed by Kisame Hoshigaki before long.

Ultimately, Obito Uchiha still didn't understand why his most loyal follower, Kisame Hoshigaki, would suddenly know his identity.

If Kisame Hoshigaki hadn't turned this place into a vast ocean, he could have easily escaped into the Kamui dimension and disappeared from the spot.

However, there are no "what ifs" in life. In the end, he became a trapped beast, surrounded by an ocean of Kisame Hoshigaki's chakra.

Once materialized and entered the Kamui space, one would immediately be in danger. Kisame Hoshigaki's attack power is still terrifying, and once materialized and affected in the Kamui space, it would be a miracle if he didn't die.

But judging from the current situation, Kisame Hoshigaki doesn't seem to be holding back at all; he's going to fight to the death!

Even with Hashirama's cells, he didn't have as much chakra as Kisame Hoshigaki. If they continued to wear each other down, Kisame's Mangekyou Sharingan would definitely be the first to give out.

The best course of action in this situation is to use that move. If everything goes smoothly, he can weather this crisis safely and then let the Akatsuki settle scores with Kisame Hoshigaki.

Of course, this is also risky. If Nagato finds out his true identity, the Akatsuki organization will probably turn from a knife in his hand into a dagger piercing his heart.

Nagato with the Rinnegan is not someone he can handle, and even Kisame Hoshigaki in his current state is not someone he can reliably defeat.

Obito Uchiha slowly opened his left eye beneath his mask. It was a three-tomoe Sharingan that he had transplanted. Although it wasn't his own, he had used it for a long time. Unfortunately, to save his life today, this eye was destined to be sacrificed.

Kisame Hoshigaki's shark has appeared in front of Obito Uchiha. If it hits him, he will be able to defeat this guy who has deceived him for so long!

However, at that moment, Izanagi was activated. Kisame Hoshigaki, who had vaguely seen Obito Uchiha's miserable state, suddenly had a bad feeling.

Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively looked towards where Obito Uchiha had been, feeling somewhat incredulous. Obito Uchiha, who should have been devoured by sharks, had simply vanished.

Just then, Obito Uchiha successfully appeared behind Kisame Hoshigaki. Izanagi was a ninjutsu used to reverse the outcome, and Obito Uchiha naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

Moreover, even if he chooses to escape, as long as he is still in this vast ocean, he will be noticed by Kisame Hoshigaki. Only if Kisame Hoshigaki removes this annoying ninjutsu can Obito Uchiha escape!

Obito Uchiha's blade ruthlessly pierced Kisame Hoshigaki's body, yet no blood flowed. Kisame, pierced through, turned into a wisp of water and merged into the surrounding environment.

Then came an endless horde of sharks, and seeing this, Obito Uchiha had no choice but to activate Kamui once again.

However, due to the prolonged use of Kamui, blood vessels have appeared in his right eye. Although Hashirama cells can extend the use of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it is ultimately not the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and there are always some side effects.

After the Thousand Shark's attack ended, Obito Uchiha glared fiercely at Kisame Hoshigaki, who was still in the water.

He underestimated the guy's cunning, but that wasn't the problem now. The real issue was finding a way to prevent his own death; he definitely couldn't give up his last eye.

This is his biggest trump card; if he loses it, he will truly be a fish to be slaughtered.

While Obito Uchiha was still thinking of a way to break the deadlock, Kisame Hoshigaki launched another attack. He still had plenty of chakra, and defeating this worthless Obito Uchiha would be quite easy.

I saw him use genjutsu to control the Fourth Mizukage before, which seemed very impressive. He was practically the legendary Madara Uchiha.

But after witnessing Itachi and Uchiha Shisui's monster-like abilities that could directly affect immortality, he felt that genjutsu capable of controlling the Fourth Mizukage was actually quite common.

When Kisame Hoshigaki made his move, he was somewhat hopeful. If the person he was dealing with proved to be very strong, then whether he was Madara Uchiha or not would not matter.

But the problem now is that this guy can't even handle him. What kind of reliable thing is the Eye of the Moon plan that someone like this comes up with?

Obito Uchiha was struggling to deal with Kisame Hoshigaki's attacks in the water. He wanted to use genjutsu on Kisame, but the opponent wouldn't get close at all. Moreover, the Sharingan's genjutsu couldn't be cast just because someone was in sight.

Just as Obito Uchiha was at a loss for what to do, Kisame Hoshigaki's giant water sphere, constructed using water-style techniques, was shattered, and a large amount of water surged away into the distance.

Upon seeing this, Obito Uchiha immediately chose to let the water carry him forward, and Kisame Hoshigaki, realizing that something was wrong, also immediately followed.

In the forest outside the water sphere, Black and White Jue watched the water sphere gradually shatter and were filled with emotion.

Obito Uchiha said he wanted to have a proper discussion with Kisame Hoshigaki, but then he suddenly lost contact with him, which made Black Zetsu feel that something was wrong.

After arriving here, Black Zetsu felt mentally broken. Obito Uchiha was actually fighting Kisame Hoshigaki and was even at a disadvantage.

Regardless of the reason for the battle, Obito Uchiha, who was being overwhelmed by Kisame Hoshigaki, no longer had the right to call himself Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha was a synonym for invincibility.

How could it be Madara Uchiha who was beaten like that by Kisame Hoshigaki!

However, Black Zetsu had no other way to help except secretly; he had no special abilities other than possessing others.

Fortunately, Black Zetsu was knowledgeable and knew how to break Kisame Hoshigaki's ninjutsu. Breaking the water sphere that covered the entire base together with White Zetsu was already their greatest ability.

As for whether Obito Uchiha can escape, that depends on his abilities. If he can't escape, he doesn't know how the plan will continue.

This is Akatsuki's base, and things here certainly can't be kept from Nagato and the others.

This means that the plan that was tricked into being devised by Madara Uchiha has turned into a complete mess, and even the most important Rinnegan has become someone else's.

If you're hoping Obito Uchiha will defeat Nagato, you might as well give up and go to sleep.

Chapter 221 That guy was actually a fake.

The moment Obito Uchiha successfully escaped the water sphere, he immediately used his Mangekyou Sharingan to enter the Kamui dimension.

When Kisame Hoshigaki chased after him, he caught a glimpse of Obito Uchiha's last remaining piece of clothing.

A shark missed its target and turned into a puddle of liquid on the ground.

"Damn scoundrel!"

Kisame Hoshigaki was not calm upon witnessing this scene. Anyone would be angry if they had been fooled by a piece of trash for so long.

However, there was nothing Kisame could do even if he was angry. Now that it was confirmed that this person was not Madara Uchiha, he could no longer stay in the Akatsuki organization.
