The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Bringing the Three-Tails back with a shadow clone shouldn't be a problem, and it's impossible for the Akatsuki to stop them.

If we encounter Hidan and Kakuzu, we might be able to bring them back for further study, since the immortal duo is quite valuable.

While Hongzhi had already begun his operation, Nagato of Amegakure quietly gazed towards the Land of Waves.

Unlike the previous times when he was out of service, he can now sense the approximate location of the ring.

But this feeling quickly vanished without a trace. Nagato wasn't surprised by this. Members of Akatsuki all had the ability to block the ring's location tracking. However, Nagato didn't care. As long as those people didn't betray him, that was fine. Besides, the ring's function was communication, not location tracking.

"Still no information on Obito Uchiha or Black Zetsu..."

As Nagato's thoughts drifted, Konan walked in and said with a hint of helplessness, "A whole year has passed, and the Akatsuki organization has not gathered any specific information about Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu."

Even the information about Obito Uchiha was bought from the black market.

"Don't worry, those two won't show up until we've collected a certain number of tailed beasts."

Nagato said calmly, "Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu definitely won't jump out directly. They want to be the fisherman, not the snipe and the clam."

Chapter 250 I suddenly had a good idea

"Should we have that guy come here beforehand?"

Konan calmly said that if that guy who claims to be the Thunder God comes to Amegakure, then the Rinnegan and the Gedo Mazo should be safe.

At the very least, aside from guarding against that guy, no one will be able to attack Nagato right under his nose.

Moreover, that guy is still trustworthy so far. If he had taken direct action last time, the Rinnegan would probably no longer be in Kumogakure.

"There's no need for that. It's best not to let him participate in the operation to capture the tailed beasts. If another tailed beast dies, I might not live to see that day come."

Nagato spoke calmly, saying that he knew his own situation. Although he had been very restrained recently, his body was like a machine, and if he kept overdrawing it, its lifespan would naturally decrease.

"I will be careful."

Konan nodded calmly. Since that guy could kill the former Two-Tails Jinchuriki so easily, it was normal for the other Tailed Beasts to be killed as well.

It will probably take another two or three years for the Two-Tails to be resurrected. If another one dies, the time will be extended, which is a scenario that the Akatsuki cannot accept.

"Hopefully, Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu won't fight to the death."

Nagato spoke calmly, noting that the two had disappeared for a long time, which worried him. If they chose to fight to the death, Nagato really had no way to deal with them.

The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can suppress tailed beasts. If they encounter a Jinchuriki, they only need to use genjutsu to control him and then slit his throat to kill him.

If Obito Uchiha wanted to do this, it would be very simple.

In fact, Nagato was overthinking it. His beloved Obito Uchiha was currently soaking in a nutrient solution to sustain his life, with numerous techniques being inscribed on his body.

His body was now an experimental subject, and the experiment was to see if the Uchiha clan would have any special effects if they used the life force secret technique.

The technique engraved by Hongzhi allowed Obito Uchiha's chakra to continuously circulate according to the secret technique's instructions, although Hongzhi proved it to be ineffective at the time.

But what if the change of Yin attribute takes a long time?

Since Obito Uchiha had nothing better to do, he decided to help Hongzhi solve this problem.

As for Black Zetsu, he was currently in a hidden cave, next to a stone coffin.

Lying inside was none other than the corpse of Uchiha Madara, and a relatively young-looking one at that.

Black Zetsu wasn't idle for the entire year. Madara Uchiha's body was already well-preserved, and combined with his experience of living for thousands of years, it wouldn't be a problem to make Madara Uchiha look a little younger.

This is Black Zetsu's last effort. After Nagato dies, he can find some unfortunate soul and have them use the Rinnegan to awaken Madara Uchiha. At that point, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation...

This is quite a strange thing. Black Zetsu didn't know whether Obito Uchiha was dead or alive, but he knew that Obito was crippled. Nagato, on the other hand, didn't know that Obito Uchiha was crippled, but he remained vigilant.

Hiroji, who knew everything, was conducting his research at a leisurely pace.

Around noon, Hongzhi put down the scroll in his hand and waited for the new master of Konoha Hospital, who was also the new director of Konoha Hospital.

To Hongzhi's surprise, the person was none other than Shizune, Tsunade's secretary who had been with her for a long time.

"I was the one handling these matters while you were in seclusion. I never expected that you would come out of seclusion and still say that I was the one handling these matters!"

Upon seeing Hiroji, Shizune was filled with resentment, as she was originally responsible for handling some of Tsunade's personal matters.

After Tsunade became Hokage, she even had to handle some official business. However, the overtime work that was originally agreed upon has now become her normal work attitude, so it would be strange if she was in a good mood.

"Forehead……"

Hongzhi couldn't refute it, but upon closer reflection, it seemed that these were the top-ranked medical ninjas in Konoha.

Tsunade, Kudo Yuuya, and then Shizune. As for Haruno Sakura and Karin, they are still training and don't even make the cut.

In this situation, it seems that only Silent is qualified and trustworthy.

"Lady Tsunade is waiting for you in the Hokage's office, so please don't get in my way!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Shizune kicked Hongzhi out of the office.

Hongzhi had absolutely no objection to this; there were only two possible outcomes for Tsunade seeking him out.

Either the slug agreed, or the slug disagreed; from any perspective, the former is more likely.

Of course, if it's the latter, then Hongzhi would have to use another identity to find the location of the Wet Bone Forest, obtain the magic, and finally kill the slug.

Just thinking about slug soup makes me lose my appetite...

Of course, slugs can be used as feed to the toads of Mount Myoboku, and then stewed into soup after they are fattened up.

However, these are all Hongzhi's ideas, and whether they will succeed depends on the attitude of the Slug Immortal.

Although the animals of the three holy lands will not be hung on trees after the Infinite Tsukuyomi descends, the final result will still be the same: with the complete absorption of natural energy, destruction is only a matter of time.

Upon entering the Hokage's office, Hiroji discovered that besides Tsunade, there were actually two other people there.

One of them was none other than Kudo Yuya, and the other was Hatake Kakashi, whom Hiroji knew very well and who had even personally taken his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to have even come up with the Bloodline Elimination technique!"

Upon seeing Hongzhi arrive, Kakashi spoke with a sullen expression, as he was quite concerned about the matter.

Not long after Hongzhi created his bloodline limit, Kakashi conceived the idea of ​​researching Purple Lightning. However, now that Hongzhi has the bloodline limit, he still hasn't been able to research Purple Lightning.

"I believe Kakashi-senpai will succeed. When that time comes, you will be able to put what you have learned from the book into practice."

As Hiroji spoke with a smile, Kakashi, who had initially felt somewhat relieved, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Kudo Yuuya and Tsunade both looked at Kakashi, their meaning clear:

How did Hongzhi know what you were reading?

"I suddenly had a great idea. See you later."

Noticing their gazes, Kakashi glanced helplessly at Hiroji, then quickly made his escape. He had already completed his mission report, so there wouldn't be any problem with him taking his leave now.

As for having other thoughts, that's not necessarily true, since it was just a simple joke.

As Kakashi walked along the road, he was still looking at "Icha Icha Paradise" in his hand. He knew very well that there was no point in rushing the research on Shiden.

We can only slowly wear it down.

Chapter 251 The Slug, a Spirit Beast

In the Hokage's office, Hongzhi quietly looked at the summoning scroll in front of him. All he had to do was fill in his name and press his blood handprint on it, and the summoning contract would be successfully established.

At that time, Hongzhi will be able to summon the slug directly. With Hongzhi's current chakra reserves, it should be enough to summon the entire Slug Sage.

"The Slug Sage has agreed. You only need to complete the contract to be able to summon slugs using the Summoning Technique."

Tsunade spoke calmly, while Kudo Yuya watched quietly from the side. For ordinary medical ninjas, the help of slugs was significant.

Even for Tsunade, her support abilities are exceptional, but for Hiroji, they are at best a ticket to enter Shikkotsu Forest.

Without any hesitation, Hongzhi bit his finger and wrote his name on the spirit scroll, then pressed his handprint on it.

It's a bit ridiculous, really; you have to bite your finger every time you use a necromancy spell to summon a spirit.

Won't this affect the upcoming battle?

Especially when facing an opponent like Hidan who can win with just blood, and other ninjas like those who use poison...

Biting your finger seems a bit inappropriate.

However, biting his finger had no effect on Hongzhi at all. As soon as the spirit contract was successfully established, the wound on Hongzhi's hand healed immediately.

Upon witnessing this scene, Tsunade naturally did not assume that Hiroji possessed the same physique as her grandfather, Hashirama Senju. Instead, she felt that the three scrolls Hiroji had given her were truly terrifying.

As for Kudo Yuya standing to the side, he was also somewhat surprised that it could restore the body directly. Medical ninjutsu could actually achieve this.

It was simply outrageous, but Kudo Yuya didn't think that much about it. She was already thinking about how to get Hiroji to take on a disciple or have a descendant who could inherit the bloodline limit.

However, this is a very difficult matter, and so far, Hiroji has not developed any affection for anyone.

It seems that everyone is treated the same, with no discrimination whatsoever, which is what troubles Kudo Yuya.

"Now that the contract has been signed, you can discuss the next steps directly with the slug that you summoned."

Tsunade put away the signed scroll, and Hiroji nodded indifferently. He had a special feeling when the contract was signed.

In a daze, Hongzhi saw with his own eyes a giant slug lying in a pool of acid.

Although I don't know if others have this feeling when signing a spirit contract, I finally got the slug spirit beast. The next step is to see if I can make it use the reverse spirit summoning technique to take it directly into the Wet Bone Forest.

Considering the difficulty of learning immortal techniques, Hongzhi felt it was necessary to hurry up and learn the immortal modes of the three holy lands within six months.

The remaining time is to integrate Sage Mode and see if we can solve the problem of chakra not being able to be stored.

After resolving this issue, Hongzhi would have the foundation to transcend chakra, and could even use natural energy to completely separate and condense the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan.

Just like cultivating immortality, special physiques only change the upper limit, while basic spiritual energy is the most fundamental.

If we could completely eliminate or transform the chakra originating from the Divine Tree and Kaguya Otsutsuki into an energy similar to natural energy.

So Hongzhi wasn't cultivating chakra, but rather practicing sage techniques; in short, he was cultivating immortality.

However, this path is still very difficult, and the specific effects after success are still unknown. But getting rid of the Otsutsuki clan, who are becoming less and less human in the later stages, is ultimately a good thing.

Hiroji left the Hokage's office satisfied. Tsunade and Kudo Yuuya watched Hiroji's retreating figure, their eyes filled with a complex emotion.

"What do you think he wants to do?"

After a moment of silence, Tsunade asked curiously. She did not believe that Hiroji obtained the summoning beast slug simply to study how slugs could heal.

In that case, there would be no need to sign a summoning contract; Tsunade could even make the slug cooperate with her willingly.
