The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

It seems quite natural that Uchiha Shisui, as one of the best among them, was remembered by Kudo Yuuya.

Of course, the person Konoha hates the most right now is Uchiha Itachi, who wiped out the Uchiha clan.

It's a bit absurd to say, but when the Uchiha clan was around, the people of Konoha didn't have much affection for them. Now that the Uchiha clan is gone, they feel a bit sorry for them.

Especially when a war breaks out in the village, if I had to describe it, it would be in one word: despicable.

Danzo, lying in his hospital bed, sensed something was wrong. Even if Shisui Uchiha's eyes had been taken, that brat who had been hit by Kotoamatsukami shouldn't have reacted like that!

Is there something he doesn't know, or is there something wrong with that eye? Was it destroyed?

Danzo was, after all, someone who had once been able to become a disciple of the Second Hokage. Although the Second Hokage was somewhat hostile towards the Uchiha clan, his eye for choosing disciples was still quite good.

When the Second Hokage died, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group were appointed to lead the family in a time of crisis, and they performed quite well; otherwise, Konoha wouldn't have survived.

This is enough to demonstrate Danzo's level; even when he was ambushed before, he still had the ability to turn the tide.

However, ninja battles are all about intelligence, and as a time traveler, Hongzhi knew far too much about Danzo.

Danzo's battle with Sasuke Uchiha after the Five Kage Summit revealed far too much.

First, there's the Sharingan on his right arm, which can't be used directly; the seal on his own arm needs to be broken first. Second, there's his obsession with Uchiha Shisui's right eye, and finally, there's the possibility of a bridge-sealing technique.

In this situation, if Hongzhi still can't find a solution, he should just stick to being a medical ninja; fighting isn't for him.

……

"How is Hongzhi doing?"

Kudo Yuuya, who had stepped out of the treatment room and allowed the Root members to enter, asked Shibata Rie directly.

"There is nothing wrong with his body. He looks as if he has just woken up from an illusion."

Rie Shibata answered calmly. As a medical ninja of her caliber, she certainly couldn't get close to Danzo, but giving Hiroji a quick check-up was no problem.

Danzo, who had just been pushed out by Root and was about to be transferred to a ward, naturally overheard the conversation between the two.

Danzo showed no reaction upon hearing this, or perhaps his normally grumpy face was now bandaged up with only his left eye showing, making it impossible to discern his expression.

"I'll go check it out myself."

Kudo Yuuya found Shibata Rie's statement rather strange. Who would be so bored as to use genjutsu on a medical ninjutsu? Could she be a spy from Kumogakure?

According to information provided by someone, the spy from Kumogakure did have brief contact with Hiroji, and it seems possible that he was influenced by illusion magic.

After all, he was just a medical ninja who had just begun to show his talent. Even ordinary Chunin have very low resistance to genjutsu.

On the way to the ward, Danzo kept thinking about what he had just heard and the situation of Hiroji's appearance.

With the two combined, Danzo felt that he was about to get close to the truth, but what he didn't understand was why Kotoamatsukami was suddenly deactivated.

However, this question was quickly answered by a professional, and this professional was none other than Danzo's personal guard.

After receiving the message from the Root members, the guards immediately reported it to Danzo, who was lying in a hospital bed.

"You mean that the spy from Kumogakure threw out the scroll he was holding when he died?"

Although his mouth was wrapped in bandages, there were no obvious wounds there. Perhaps it was because Danzo had foul breath that Kudo Yuuya wrapped it up, but more likely it was because Danzo's right side of his body needed to be bandaged and immobilized.

After all, not only his arm, but also his shoulder and part of his ribs were cut off.

There's no doubt that medical ninjutsu can accelerate cell healing, but given Danzo's current situation, there's almost no other way besides directly calling upon the Sage of Six Paths.

Even Hongzhi couldn't do anything about it. At this point, it was necessary to prevent Danzo's internal organs from being damaged further, so it was necessary to fix him in place from all aspects. The bandage around his mouth could be considered as a subsequent fixation bandage added to ensure overall stability.

"According to information from my subordinates, that's indeed the case. The charred corpse has been dealt with by the Dark Division."

The guard answered cautiously, still somewhat worried about the matter, as Lord Danzo had always disliked the Anbu under the Hokage's control.

At such a critical moment, the Kumogakure spy who attacked Lord Danzo was taken away by the Anbu for examination of his body.

If Lord Danzo gets angry over this, it would be an undeserved disaster for him.

As it turned out, the guard was overthinking things. Danzo wasn't thinking about the Anbu at that moment; he felt like even the heavens were against him.

Having been corrupted by Hashirama's cells and the Mangekyou Sharingan for a long time, he discovered a highly skilled medical ninja and used existing methods to make him serve him, which seemed to be without any problem.

But who could have imagined that the long-lost spies from Kumogakure would reappear, and that their target would be this old man?

That's really a lack of martial ethics.

Chapter 21 New Goals

"Are you OK?"

Looking at Hiroji, who had returned to normal, in the scheduling room, Kudo Yuya felt that something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She had just personally examined Hongzhi and found nothing abnormal, as if he wasn't the one who fainted not long ago.

"No, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Hongzhi would naturally not say that this was because of Danzo, since Danzo still had great value.

There is a very outrageous group medical ninjutsu called the Healing and Regeneration Technique, which requires at least four medical ninjas to activate, and then eight medical ninjas to take turns.

In the original story, when Hyuga Neji was chasing Uchiha Sasuke, his chest was pierced by a large hole, but he was able to recover quickly with the help of this group medical ninjutsu.

This is enough to illustrate the terror of this medical ninjutsu. This so-called healing and regeneration technique is not a simple medical ninjutsu. It also requires the use of techniques similar to sealing techniques and palm techniques.

Under the transformation of the technique, the Palm Healing Technique is converted into a kind of magical energy, which then transforms the injured person's hair into the cells of the injured area, thereby achieving a repair effect.

Although he did not study cells in his previous life, Hiroji knew clearly that there was a type of cell in the human body that could continue to differentiate.

In Hongzhi's view, the art of healing and regeneration involves transforming cells that could no longer differentiate into cells that could differentiate, and then transforming them into cells needed by the wound site.

This unscientific medical ninjutsu aroused both curiosity and delight in Hongzhi. This medical ninjutsu was undoubtedly very promising, as it could restore other damaged cells simply by consuming hair.

If we could break through the limits a few more times, would we be able to obtain the purest Hashirama cells from Danzo's right arm in this way? No, at that time they should be called Hashirama stem cells.

Then it is transplanted to the hematopoietic site in the body, allowing the two to fuse. Over time, all the cells in the body will undergo a transformation.

It takes seven years for all the cells in a normal human body to be renewed, but in the Naruto world, it is very easy to change this time.

As long as injuries are sustained and repaired, the blood flow to the injured area will increase. This means that if all the previous plans work, Hongzhi will be able to complete the transformation of his entire body through this.

Even if it can't compare to Hashirama's original version, it will definitely be more effective than Danzo and Obito's utilization of Hashirama's cells.

However, this plan still has many problems. First of all, the Resurrection Technique is not a single-target ninjutsu, but a group medical ninja. Even with eight medical ninjas, it would take about half a day to complete.

With his current chakra levels, it would be a joke for Hongzhi to be able to perform such an operation; he could at most be considered one and a half.

Therefore, to complete the plan, the next goal is to thoroughly study the art of healing and regeneration, and then see if a simplified version of the art can be created, even if it takes more time.

However, this is destined to be difficult. But with the help of sealing techniques to study the formula, it is not hopeless. Ultimately, the formula still requires four medical ninjas to inject palm healer techniques from four aspects, as well as control the degeneration and differentiation of cells.

It would be a real challenge for one person to complete this complex task.

Secondly, there is the fusion of the two types of cells. Hashirama cells are highly corrosive, as evidenced by the fact that Danzo needed to use a seal.

Moreover, Hongzhi needed to use further refined stem cells; if not handled properly, they would turn into a towering tree immediately after being transplanted into his body.

To achieve this theoretical transformation, it is undoubtedly necessary to solve these two problems; otherwise, it would be suicidal.

"What are you thinking?"

Kudo Yuya, who had been wondering what Hiroji would say, felt somewhat bewildered when she saw Hiroji suddenly fall into a long period of contemplation.

Who would suddenly lose focus at a time like this? If you weren't my apprentice, I would definitely show you what the dean's authority is all about.

"If we can further improve the technique of healing and regeneration, could we solve the current problem and heal Lord Danzo, who has just lost his right eye and right arm?"

Hiroji raised his head, his eyes shining as he looked at Kudo Yuya. Kudo Yuya, who was about to say something, was at a loss for words after hearing these words.

If the techniques of healing and regeneration continue to be improved and perfected, it should be possible to achieve this, but such a possibility only exists.

Currently, Konoha Hospital only has about ten people who can participate in the Regeneration Technique. This kind of group medical ninjutsu not only requires precise chakra control, but also a lot of energy.

This is also a test for medical ninjas. Putting aside the difficulty of further improvement, even if the improvement is successful, can they find enough medical ninjas to perform such a ninjutsu?

"If you want to try it, I won't assign you any tasks every night; you can try it out in the training room."

Although she knew there would be many difficulties, Kudo Yuya did not tell Hiroji to give up directly. She knew Hiroji's talent, and if he could succeed, it would definitely be a good thing for Konoha.

Medical capabilities are also an integral part of overall strength. Every year, many ninjas die from injuries, and the advancements in medical ninjutsu ensure a ninja's chances of survival.

If successful, Hongzhi's name will be engraved on a monument and forever remembered by future medical ninjas.

That will be a brand new era. At that time, Konoha's medical level will be several stages ahead of the entire ninja world, and Konoha's strength will naturally gradually increase.

"I understand."

Hiroji nodded. The "evening" that Kudo Yuya mentioned was actually after 5 a.m. At this time, Hiroji usually had to deal with the injured ninjas, but now Kudo Yuya had freed him up with just one sentence.

"Since you're alright, go to the basement. Because of Danzo's affair, you're the only patient in the entire Konoha Hospital who's currently unavailable."

After confirming that Hiroji was alright, Kudo Yuya continued, saying that dealing with Danzo had taken a long time, and even she had to work overtime today.

Originally, she would never have let Hongzhi, her capable assistant, leave, but considering that he had fainted before, she could only let him handle situations that wouldn't cause problems.

What problems could there be with a spy from Kumogakure who's already dead? He can't possibly come back to life!

"it is good……"

Although somewhat reluctant, Hongzhi obediently agreed.

Chapter 22 I regret to inform you

The basement environment was still somewhat nauseating, but as he visited more often, Hongzhi was able to get used to it.

Practice makes perfect; this is an age-old truth. Once your body and mind have become familiar with the impact of the basement, the second time you encounter it, it certainly won't be as intense as the first time.

After doing it many times, it gradually becomes boring. Of course, there are exceptions, such as in special circumstances.

Having entered the basement at least eight or ten times during my time at Hongzhi, I've naturally become immune to that smell.

The only thing that surprised Hongzhi was that the basement was not surrounded by the usual medical ninjas, but by two distinct groups of lurking figures in the darkness.

One side is naturally the Anbu led by the Hokage, and the other side is naturally the Root organization.

According to the information relayed by the shadow clones, Hongzhi even saw several acquaintances who were chasing and intercepting the shadow clones.

However, he certainly wouldn't go up to say hello at this moment. Upon seeing such an acquaintance, Hongzhi immediately understood who the person placed on the central operating table was.

That unfortunate Root member, of course, in the eyes of the Anbu and Root, was the culprit who assassinated Danzo, and even a guy who had been lurking in Konoha for a year.
