The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

That was an indescribable worship.

"Tell me, what is it that you came to see me about?!"

Shaking her head to dismiss the idea, Tsunade calmly asked, not believing that Hongzhi would simply come to report on the situation after emerging from seclusion.

If that's the case, he didn't need to come with Karin and Sakura at all. He could have stayed in his office at Konoha Hospital. Anyway, once the news of his return from seclusion spread, many people would have come to pay their respects.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I want to find a summoning beast that can heal to help me with my next research."

As Hongzhi calmly spoke to Tsunade, it was already clear that the only summoning beast in the entire Hidden Leaf Village capable of healing was Tsunade's slug.

Of course, there should be more than one person who possesses a slug now; Sakura Haruno and Karin, who are standing nearby, should also possess this kind of summoning beast.

After all, the two of them can be considered Tsunade's students, and they were students who taught her everything they knew.

When they first met, Hongzhi noticed that both of them had a water reservoir inside them, although they only had one, and it was still in the water storage stage.

But the Yin Seal is an S-rank ninjutsu. How could such a heaven-defying ninjutsu be taught if it were just a matter of teaching for a few days?

Even the ninjutsu scroll that Tsunade just studied was actually an improved version of the Yin Seal given by Hongzhi.

Clearly, even after a year, Tsunade had not completed the upgrade and improvement of her chakra meridians, thus failing to increase the number of her Yin Seals from one to three.

It's not that Tsunade's skill level is insufficient, but rather that she lacks the time. The fact that Sakura Haruno and Karin were able to begin accumulating Yin Seals is enough to demonstrate their progress.

This also shows the effort Tsunade put into the two of them. When Hiroji first met them, they didn't even know the most basic things.

The fact that they can now learn the Yin Seal and begin accumulating chakra speaks volumes.

"A summoned beast?"

Tsunade was somewhat taken aback. The only summoning beast that could heal her was her summoning beast, Katsuyu. It wasn't that she was unwilling, nor was it that Katsuyu was unwilling. The main question was whether Katsuyu could actually help this pervert.

It wasn't just Tsunade's wild imagination; the slug's healing ability was slightly weaker than a typical palm technique, and it was far inferior to the Holy Healing that Hongzhi had just demonstrated.

Its only advantage is group healing; as long as there is enough chakra, it can summon enough chakra to heal.

"Let's make this clear first: if it can't be of any help, you're not allowed to complain about it!"

After a moment of silence, Tsunade agreed. Although she didn't know what this guy wanted to do, she had no reason not to agree. After all, strictly speaking, there was only one slug sage in Shikkotsu Forest.

The others are basically all split versions of that slug immortal.

"That's definitely not the case."

Hiroji smiled and agreed, then stepped aside. Tsunade waited for Sakura Haruno and Karin at the training ground, but that was definitely not to see their medical skills.

This means that Hongzhi would have to watch the battle between two ants and one insect.

Although this analogy isn't entirely accurate, it's actually true, since Hongzhi's strength could easily crush the three of them.

This process should take exactly the same amount of time as stepping on an ant.

After Hiroji stepped back, Tsunade looked at Sakura Haruno and Karin, who were still in shock.

"This time I won't hold back. Even if he's missing an arm or a leg, that guy can be healed!"

Tsunade looked at the two people in front of her and spoke calmly. The two people, who were originally in a state of admiration, suddenly realized what was going on, and their expressions turned extremely ugly.

Previously, when Tsunade held back, both of them would be badly injured. Now that Tsunade has chosen not to hold back, the final outcome is pretty much predictable.

……

Inside the operating room, Hiroji never dreamed that the first thing he would do after his seclusion would be to perform surgery on Sakura Haruno.

When Tsunade said she wouldn't hold back, she really meant it. At the beginning, although the two of them were fleeing in a sorry state, at least they weren't directly hit by the attacks.

But as time went by, their physical strength deteriorated, and their injuries became more and more serious. It was at this point that the difference in their physical abilities became apparent.

Karin, being a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, had a slight advantage in physique compared to Sakura Haruno. She managed to dodge the final attack with a clumsy roll.

Sakura Haruno fared much worse; half of her body was hit directly, and with Tsunade's monstrous strength, she was almost instantly vaporized.

This led to the end of the training and Hiroji's overtime work.

Using a regenerative healing technique blessed by the Holy One, Hiroji healed Sakura Haruno in just ten minutes.

However, this also led to some cringe-worthy scenes. Hopefully, Erzhuzi won't be angry when he finds out.

Outside the operating room, Tsunade looked at Sakura Haruno, who had fully recovered, her eyes filled with shock.

"Karin, are you sure you don't want to reconsider?!"

Chapter 247 Wasting Time

Tsunade paid more attention to Karin than to Sakura Haruno, not because she was biased, but simply because Karin was an orphan.

Furthermore, she had a rather dark childhood, and in addition, Karin was not originally a ninja of Konoha.

Instead, they were ninjas who were forcibly kept during the Chunin Exams by Danzo, and were originally intended to be trained as Jinchuriki.

Unfortunately, Danzo's ambitions were never realized, which is why Tsunade gave Karin special treatment.

After all, getting her to integrate into Konoha requires a certain attitude. Don't be fooled by Karin's diligent studies every day; it will take a long time for her to genuinely believe she is a Konoha ninja.

Of course, there is also the simplest way, which is to marry her off to an excellent ninja, and then everything will be perfectly resolved.

However, Karin was not interested in many ninjas, and instead would occasionally go to the back of Konoha to look out.

Tsunade knew perfectly well that she wasn't there to admire the scenery. From that spot, she could just see a dilapidated courtyard, the residence of an elder of Konoha.

Karin visits every now and then, and it's definitely not just to repay the life-saving grace she received back then.

There might be other ideas, but that's simply impossible.

Although that person was an elder of Konoha, he had no real power. It wasn't that Tsunade didn't want the Anbu to learn those forbidden techniques, but rather that no one was willing to go.

Upon hearing that the person had once been a favorite of Danzo, even former members of Root who had served Danzo were unwilling to go there to learn forbidden techniques.

Although Tsunade was the Hokage, she couldn't force the issue. Gradually, the restoration of Konoha was completed, and she remembered one of the elders.

That is, Kudo Yuuya, the one from Root, who never even comes to the village unless Tsunade sends someone to notify him of a meeting.

As for Jiraiya, his whereabouts are still unknown, and he is accompanied by the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.

For Tsunade, it would be a blessing if Jiraiya didn't send any bad news.

Under such circumstances, Kudo Yuya, the only one who was active, naturally became remembered by most people.

Tsunade was helpless in this situation, and even felt somewhat relieved, though not for the thoughts of the common people of Konoha.

Instead, he was pleased that Root didn't care at all after learning about this, and didn't even bother with the idea of ​​visiting ninjas.

I'm still used to being alone.

Karin spoke calmly. She possessed a special sensory ninjutsu called Kagura Mind's Eye, which allowed her to obtain special information through chakra.

However, she wouldn't reveal that the person who saved her from that hell wasn't Tsunade, who had imparted all her knowledge, but rather...

"That's such a shame."

Tsunade shook her head helplessly. If Karin was willing, she would definitely help her, which would kill two birds with one stone.

It can not only solve the problem of Karin, but also the problem of Hiroji, as well as any potential troubles that may arise in the future.

To put it bluntly, if Hiroji ends up with a woman from a certain clan, the inevitable result will be that that clan will control a large portion of Konoha's medical resources.

The idea of ​​having a Konoha elder in every generation would be something that would tempt even the Hyuga clan, let alone ordinary clans.

The surgery was over, and Hiroji left immediately. Karin went inside and quietly looked at Sakura Haruno, who had already woken up.

Karin still felt a little sorry for this person, because they had been studying together and Karin had learned a lot about him.

For example, the matter of Class 7, and some special secrets.

Although it can't be called a secret, Karin is utterly helpless about Sakura Haruno's crush on Sasuke Uchiha.

That guy could even be considered a rogue ninja. Although the Hokage hasn't issued a bounty, a rogue ninja is a rogue ninja.

There's no way to solve this. Even if he does manage to get his revenge, when he returns, Sakura Haruno probably won't get what she wants.

From any perspective, that guy named Uchiha Sasuke clearly prefers the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!

"I'm still not as good as you."

Sakura Haruno looked at Karin beside her and said helplessly. She had tried her best, but she was always overshadowed by Karin. If it weren't for the fact that she had a good relationship with Karin, she would have lost her temper long ago.

"What's the point of comparing these things?"

Karin shook her head helplessly. Even if she had the same level of skill as Tsunade, she still wouldn't understand the scroll that guy wrote. And that guy probably wouldn't take on any disciples.

"You don't understand..."

Sakura Haruno said helplessly. The more she grew, the more she felt how annoying her words were back then. That's why she wanted to learn medical ninjutsu to ensure the safety of her team.

As for Senior Hongzhi, the only way to impress him is through hard work and change his first impression.

……

"While you were in seclusion, several ninjas at Konoha Hospital needed to be treated with regeneration techniques. You should take some time to deal with them soon, otherwise, who knows if you'll have the time after you get your summoning beast..."

In the dean's office, Tsunade looked at Hiroji across from her with a strange expression. Even the regeneration technique that this guy had once researched could not be used by anyone.

Most importantly, even her own chakra manipulation was insufficient.

"No problem. Regarding the position of director of Konoha Hospital, I hope Lady Tsunade can find a suitable person."

As Hiroji spoke calmly, he mentioned that the position of director of Konoha Hospital was something he had used to solidify his position in Konoha.

But there's no need for that now. Hongzhi's influence is already sufficient. This position has gradually become a shackle. Let others do those completely meaningless things.

Hiroji only needs to wait for Kudo Yuya to retire, and he will be able to become an elder of Konoha directly, and an elder with great power at that.

Combined with his status as a member of Root, Koji Konoha would have nearly half of the voting rights. Although it didn't have much practical significance, it still sounded pretty good.

Although Hiroji was able to make Kudo Yuya die without anyone noticing so that he could smoothly become an elder, it didn't mean much.

Whether it's the dean or the elders, they all need to handle certain affairs, so these troublesome matters are handed over to others.

Furthermore, Kudo Yuya was, after all, Hiroji's teacher. Without her, Hiroji wouldn't have been able to learn medical ninjutsu so quickly.

Although Hongzhi considered himself ruthless, he would not personally lay a hand on her, especially since it was not yet time to turn against her.

The best course of action is to keep Konoha as it is now.

"I'll make the arrangements."
