The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Tsunade did not refuse; for Hiroji, being the director of Konoha Hospital was simply a waste of time.

Chapter 248 The Secret of Yin-Yang Escape

Tsunade left with Karin and Sakura Haruno. This time, Hiroji did not obtain a summoning beast, not because Tsunade changed her mind.

The establishment of a summoning contract requires the consent of both parties. Although Tsunade knew that the slug would definitely not refuse, the process still had to be followed, at least to show respect.

Hongzhi, on the other hand, was dealing with the ninjas who were missing limbs. Most of them were ANBU ninjas. Compared to ordinary ninjas, ANBU ninjas had more dangerous missions and naturally more unexpected situations.

With the departure of the last ninja, Hongzhi left directly from Konoha Hospital.

Walking on the streets of Konoha, Hiroji could see that many of the surrounding buildings had been renovated. Although only a year had passed, they already presented a completely different state from when the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was in power.

Hongzhi returned home and estimated that he would be able to obtain Tsunade's summoning beast by tomorrow. He would then study it first and, after getting to know it better, go directly to Shikkotsu Forest to learn Sage Mode.

The Sage Mode of Mount Myōboku is the most common, with Jiraiya being the best example, followed by the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave.

In the original story, Kabuto Yakushi, who inherited part of Orochimaru's legacy, learned the Sage Mode of Ryuchi Cave. Although he didn't show much of his abilities in battle, he was directly hypnotized by Itachi Uchiha using Izanami.

But it's definitely not weak. After all, the rarer something is, the more precious it is, compared to the Sage Mode at Mount Myōboku, which at least four people have learned.

The only clearly documented figure in Ryuchi Cave is Kabuto Yakushi, while in Shikkotsu Forest, some speculate it is Hashirama Senju.

However, considering Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode body, creating one's own Sage Mode wouldn't be a problem if it took a lot of time.

Hongzhi could have created his own, but what he needed was not just a sage mode, but a comprehensive application of natural energy.

The summoning beasts of the three holy lands all use Sage Chakra. Hongzhi wants to completely replace Chakra with natural energy, or rather, to fuse the two into a completely new energy, opening up a path different from Chakra.

The simplest way is to study the immortal modes of the three holy lands and then modify them according to the formulas. Creating your own would take too long, so it's better to take a shortcut.

If that's not enough, then Hiroji will have to set his sights on Hashirama Senju. No matter where his Sage Mode came from, he would be a good experimental subject for Hiroji.

No one came to disturb Hongzhi until late at night, but the secret agents who had been keeping watch had already left.

Hongzhi left his shadow clone at home while he went directly into the Kamui space.

After checking on Hyuga Neji and Toneri's condition as usual, and finding that the third stage was far from being reached, Koji began to study Uchiha Obito.

First, there was the cursed seal on Obito Uchiha's heart. Hongzhi easily understood its structure and was able to remove it directly.

As the cursed seal was removed, Obito Uchiha, who had been completely unresponsive on the operating table, suddenly began to wriggle.

Compared to Kabuto's previous wriggling, Obito Uchiha looked relatively normal.

After a long period of research, it was discovered that Obito Uchiha's body parts, except for the Sharingan, had been completely healed by Hongzhi long ago.

If Hongzhi is willing, he can directly transplant a pair of ordinary Sharingan eyes into Uchiha Obito, giving him the level of an ordinary Jonin.

Obito Uchiha, who possessed Kamui, was extremely troublesome, but having lost his Mangekyou Sharingan, he was at most at the level of an ordinary Jonin.

Since most of this body is brand new, it will take some time before it can be fully restored and used.

However, if that were the case, Obito Uchiha would be in a lot of trouble, not because of his strength, but because of Izanagi.

Even a regular Sharingan can use Izanagi. If Obito Uchiha had been allowed to leave, he might have had a chance to turn the tide.

Putting everything else aside, if he were to accidentally obtain the Rinnegan, the Fourth Shinobi World War would be imminent.

"Don't move."

Seeing Obito Uchiha writhing wildly, Hiroji reached out and used a chakra scalpel to sever his nerves.

With a swift stroke of Hongzhi's blade, Obito Uchiha, who had been writhing wildly, was reduced to only being able to move his head.

Hongzhi had no thoughts on this, and was even slowly studying the chakra within Obito Uchiha's body.

Hongzhi still vividly remembered the Yin-Yang Release technique; the black rods that Madara Uchiha used to disrupt chakra flow were likely products of Yin-Yang Release.

Although Obito Uchiha didn't use it often, he definitely knew how to use it, otherwise Madara Uchiha wouldn't have been able to die peacefully.

If Madara Uchiha's Yin-Yang Release is indeed a bloodline limit, then the exact answer regarding Obito Uchiha's chakra will be revealed.

Hongzhi studied it all night and finally concluded that Obito Uchiha had indeed mastered the Yin-Yang Release technique originating from Madara Uchiha.

However, Yin-Yang Release is not a bloodline limit, but a special method of chakra manipulation. In other words, without the Rinnegan, it can only amplify the power of some ninjutsu. Only after obtaining the Rinnegan can one create black rods that disrupt the flow of chakra.

All of this information was extracted by Hongzhi from Obito Uchiha's mind. Such ninjutsu existed in the Root, so Hongzhi naturally wouldn't miss it, since nothing is more accurate than information seen with one's own eyes.

Yin-Yang Release should be a secret technique belonging to the Uchiha clan. It is indeed a special application of Yin and Yang chakra, and this was the original Yin-Yang Release.

However, this secret technique received an epic upgrade after Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan.

Originally a secret technique that could only amplify the power of ninjutsu, this technique not only allows one to wield a black rod, but can even directly double the power of ninjutsu.

It was with the help of this secret technique that Obito Uchiha was able to successfully bind the Three-Tails and the Fourth Mizukage, even with only one Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is enough to demonstrate the terror of the Yin-Yang Release technique, but for Hongzhi, the most important thing is not this, but that this thing is actually a family heirloom of the Uchiha clan.

And wasn't the ancestor of the Uchiha clan Indra?

If this thing really was made by that guy, then the Yin-Yang Escape technique is definitely more than just this.

Although Indra did not have the Rinnegan, his strength was undeniable. Moreover, he was the first ninja to be able to freely manipulate his chakra and combine it with techniques to transform it into ninjutsu.

If the secret technique of Yin-Yang Escape truly originated from Indra, then perhaps even more secrets lie hidden within it.

In addition, the changes in Yin-Yang Release techniques after obtaining the Rinnegan are also quite interesting.

The Rinnegan is likely a manifestation of the ultimate fusion of Yin and Yang attributes...

Chapter 249 The Meeting of the Akatsuki Organization

The appearance of the Rinnegan can transform the Yin-Yang Release technique. What secrets does it contain?

Hongzhi was very interested in this, but he had no way to study it. However, he still learned this secret technique that could amplify the power of ninjutsu and had his shadow clones list it as one of the ninjutsu techniques that needed to be mastered.

After obtaining the secret of Yin-Yang Release, Hongzhi once again locked Obito Uchiha in a nutrient solution. If nothing unexpected happens, Obito Uchiha will need to be kept here until Hongzhi obtains the Rinnegan.

As for whether there is any chance of seeing the light of day again, that depends on whether Black Zetsu will try to revive Uchiha Madara and then attempt to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

If the timing is correct, then when Obito Uchiha left the Kamui dimension again, it was when he was hanging on the God Tree.

If the timing hadn't been right, he might have had another chance to become a sacrifice for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, these things will require a long wait.

After leaving the Kamui dimension, before Hongzhi could even appreciate the beautiful scenery, he noticed waves of chakra emanating from the Akatsuki's ring.

The Akatsuki organization is about to hold a meeting.

Hiroji used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive at the Land of Waves base. This base was not abandoned because of Hiroji's departure, after all, Haku and the resurrected Zabuza were still here.

The secret of the Kamui dimension is something Hiroji doesn't want others to know, which is why Zabuza is still in this base.

Zabuza is quite special. Among the resurrected artifacts, only Zabuza can move freely, and he also has Haku by his side.

After changing into Akatsuki's clothes, Koji put on the ring and activated the Illusionary Body Technique.

In the secret room where the Akatsuki organization was holding a meeting, Koji's figure attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.

The most surprised of all was Pain, who was being controlled by Nagato, because the so-called Thor was out of service, so he did not introduce the new member to the Akatsuki members.

Now that this person has come, it must be the best outcome.

As for the other members of the Akatsuki, they were surprised that a new member had joined. After all, the Akatsuki had been keeping a very low profile recently, so how could anyone be willing to join such an organization that was about to be forgotten?

"Hey, newbie, what's your name?"

Hidan directly asked who this person was, as he was only interested in pleasing the evil god!

"Thor".

Hijiri answered the question succinctly, saying that Hidan's abilities are also very strong. Of course, Hijiri was referring to the fact that Hidan is immortal, not his ability to talk his way out of anything.

"Thor?! What a boastful tone!"

Deidara's voice followed, directly calling himself a god. Isn't that a bit too much?

"All right."

Deidara wanted to say something more, but Nagato directly controlled Pain to speak. If Hiroji really did something to Deidara, the Akatsuki would be the ones to suffer.

"cut!"

Deidara snorted coldly, and Kakuzu and Sasori, who were standing to the side, immediately looked away. He was just a newcomer, nothing to care about. Whether he could survive the next mission was another matter.

"Based on the timeline, the Three-Tails should be resurrected soon. The next key task is to find the reborn Three-Tails and bring it back before other forces discover it."

Nagato, controlling Pain, slowly spoke. The timing of the tailed beasts' revival was provided by Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha, and he couldn't be sure if it was accurate.

But I don't think there should be much of a problem, since Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha were with them back then.

However, with the Three-Tails about to be resurrected, he needs to be even more careful of Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu, since both sides are targeting the Tailed Beasts, which is a natural conflict.

"The Three-Tailed Fox?"

Deidara was somewhat taken aback. According to the original division of the Tailed Beasts, the Three-Tails should have been the responsibility of their group.

However, with the deaths of Akatsuki members, this matter no longer matters, but he is still very interested in the Tailed Beasts.

It's said to be a monster capable of easily destroying a town!

"The meeting is adjourned."

Apart from Deidara, nobody cared about this. Missions were just a matter of chance; if they encountered one, they'd bring it back; if not, they'd just let it go.

Nagato was well aware of the personalities of the Akatsuki members, and immediately adjourned the meeting.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongzhi vanished without a trace. Hongzhi, who had thought he could get some useful information, felt speechless. The resurrection of the Three-Tails was not a big deal, since the resurrection of the Two-Tails couldn't possibly only take a year.

However, this did serve as a reminder to Hongzhi. Now that he had the Kamui Space, he could simply imprison the Three-Tails within it and become invincible.

After all, the Three-Tails doesn't have any chakra dispersed outside, so even after being resurrected using Edo Tensei, the Jinchuriki still can't use the Tailed Beast's chakra.

Unless, like Obito Uchiha in the original work, the tailed beasts are reincarnated into Jinchuriki through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, there is another way: Orochimaru's advanced technology.

Directly cultivating the horns of the Eight-Tails and then injecting them into the former Jinchūriki is an extremely outrageous act.

However, there will definitely be no special circumstances for the Three-Tails; the Three-Tails Jinchuriki still suffers a lot.

The reason why Kirigakure is so inconspicuous is because of the Blood Mist Village created by Obito Uchiha, and the Mizukage at that time was a Jinchuriki of the Three-Tails.

After obtaining this information, Hongzhi sent several shadow clones to secretly search for the Three-Tails in the ninja world.
