The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Chapter 272 Shadow

At the base in the Land of Waves.

Hiroji is slowly studying the Nara clan's most basic secret technique, which, from a chakra perspective, involves manipulating chakra and, with the aid of special drugs, transforming it into yin-attribute chakra.

Once the body gradually adapts to the process, medication will no longer be needed, and then one can begin practicing shadow magic.

The main problem is that the bloodline limit has not been formed. The initial changes were acquired through drugs and cannot be passed down.

However, the root cause should be that the Nara clan did not have the innate Yin attribute from the beginning.

If a member of the Nara clan who has mastered the Yin attribute were to spend a great deal of time studying the original secret techniques, they might be able to find a solution.

No, the Nara clan must have made such an attempt, but there must have been another reason why they failed in the end.

As the most intelligent clan in Konoha, it's impossible that they haven't successfully mastered the Yin Release ninja for so long; there must be some difficulties involved.

With this in mind, Hongzhi began to transform the attributeless natural energy within his body into the yin attribute. Hongzhi was very familiar with the yin attribute, so the transformation was quite simple for him.

A jet-black natural energy appeared in Hongzhi's body. This was Yin-attribute natural energy, and it looked no different from Yin-attribute chakra.

After completing these steps, Hongzhi began to slowly transform his Yin-attribute chakra, following the method from Nara Shikamaru's memories.

At first, Hiroji felt it was exceptionally easy, but halfway through, he had to go all out. In his memory, Nara Shikamaru failed many times at this stage and finally succeeded only after taking a special medicine.

Hongzhi naturally didn't have that so-called secret medicine, but these changes only made him a little more serious. With his ability to control natural energy, he could still manage to do it.

After all, the manipulation of natural energy is also the result of the transformation of chakra manipulation, which is enough to explain the problem.

If even Hiroji couldn't succeed, then the Nara clan's secret techniques must be absolutely heaven-defying.

This process lasted three hours. After finally completing this part, sweat appeared on Hongzhi's forehead. Although controlling natural energy was not difficult, the transformation process was still somewhat complicated.

As for such complex changes, it must have been discovered unintentionally by the ancestors of the Nara clan, who then used medicine to help the body adapt to the process.

Hongzhi, on the other hand, directly manipulated the Yin-attribute natural energy to complete this transformation; the difficulty of the two was simply not on the same level.

The subsequent transitions became much simpler, at least the requirements for chakra manipulation were not so high.

Hongzhi spent two hours successfully completing it. At that moment, a warm current slowly appeared and then spread throughout Hongzhi's entire body.

This is the sign of the birth of a bloodline limit. Just as Hiroji thought, as long as he completes the entire chakra conversion process on his own, the Nara clan will have a bloodline limit.

This is why Nara Shikamaru didn't use any medicine when he first started training, but was only given medicine after failing several times.

The Nara clan has not given up on having their own bloodline limit, but the process is too difficult, and even Hiroji needs to treat it with caution.

Hiroji's control over natural energy was several levels above the Nara clan's control over chakra.

From this perspective, it seems that the Nara clan may never be able to obtain a bloodline limit.

The Nara clan was fortunate; they discovered some of the secrets of Yin, and based on these secrets, they used medicine to create a transformation process that can be described as miraculous, thus gaining the means to establish themselves.

At the same time, the Nara clan is also unfortunate. Although this secret technique is very powerful, it is extremely difficult to transform it into a bloodline limit.

The other two families likely face the same issue: the Akimichi and Yamanaka clans. They may also have a chance to obtain a bloodline limit, but whether they succeed depends on a certain amount of luck.

It doesn't have to operate entirely according to the observed trajectory. As long as the same result is achieved in the end, a bloodline limit can be created. Once a bloodline limit is created, there is no need to consider the process.

After all, bloodline limits can be passed on to offspring almost 100%, and with a little guidance, they can usually be awakened.

After the bloodline limit was created, Hiroji began to study it carefully. First of all, the main feature of this bloodline limit is that it can use Yin attribute natural energy to control one's shadow.

The Yin attribute itself comes with control abilities, so after connecting with someone else's shadow, you can control the enemy's actions through the shadow.

After mastering the most basic techniques, the remaining secret arts of the Nara clan were developed using these characteristics. After a little thought, Hiroji successfully learned some of Nara Shikamaru's more basic ninjutsu.

After completing these tasks, Hongzhi began to consider how to enhance the combat power of this bloodline limit. After all, it was a bloodline limit that he had worked hard to create, and it would be best if it could be put to use.

After a moment's thought, Hiroji looked directly at the core of the puppetry technique he had obtained from Kankuro, which was the natural energy threads.

Initially, it was naturally composed of chakra threads, but after it became made of natural energy, its name changed directly.

After a few attempts, Hongzhi discovered that the two could be perfectly integrated. The threads formed by the shadows had a strong controllability. If he had such an ability when he encountered the Iwagakure ninjas before, he could have silently turned them into puppets.

There is no need to control them first.

[Shadow: 50%]

After completing these tasks, Hongzhi looked at the information beside him and thought that the name "Shadow" was quite fitting.

As for the issue of proficiency, let the shadow clone train it slowly; the yin attribute of natural energy has already been inscribed.

The next key point is to use the Yin attribute, which is composed of this natural energy, to impact the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, thereby altering the gene sequence.

As for the research on Gaara's chakra, Hiroji only used it to enhance himself, not as a necessity, so it could be done after he completed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and refined the Uchiha bloodline.

Of course, before the official start, Hongzhi still needed to make some preparations. Fortunately, when he had the transplant, he did not have to remove his original eye.

We can replace the right eye now, as it is more practical than the left eye.

While the left eye's Kamui is indeed very strong, the right eye possesses the ability to become ethereal, and the cooldown time of the left eye's Kotoamatsukami is truly outrageous.

Even if his left eye became the victim, Hiroji could accept it.

Chapter 273 A Close Call

In the operating room.

Hongzhi lay quietly on the operating table, while his shadow clone busied itself beside him. Next to the shadow clone was a pair of perfectly preserved eyes.

These were Hongzhi's original eyes. After they were replaced, Hongzhi did not throw them away, but carefully preserved them.

I initially just used it as a way to reminisce about the past, but I never expected it would come in handy. That's fine too; consider it an investment from the past into the future.

As Hongzhi thought this, his shadow clone began to act quickly. His right eye was removed, and in a blur, his original eye was transplanted.

After the docking was completed, the Holy Healing was activated immediately, and the wound healed instantly. Hongzhi slowly opened his eyes and looked around curiously. It had been a long time since Hongzhi had experienced seeing such a different scene.

After carefully preserving the replaced Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Hiroji found a place rich in natural energy and began converting it.

When Hongzhi felt that there was enough Yin-attribute natural energy, he directly guided it to the vicinity of his left eye.

"Success or failure is here."

Hongzhi spoke calmly. Because his right eye had been properly preserved, he was not particularly flustered and immediately began his attack.

When the Yin-attribute natural energy invaded the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, a stinging sensation shot directly from the eyeball into the brain, which even Hiroji found somewhat unbearable.

However, with each adaptation, the pain began to lessen. Hongzhi clearly understood that this was not because the pain had lessened, but because his ability to adapt had improved.

So far, nothing has been found that would be unacceptable to Hongzhi. As for what the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan will look like after the transformation, Hongzhi is not particularly clear.

However, he will not regret it. Even after obtaining the Tenseigan, Koji will still try to achieve it in the same way. If he fails, he will continue to cultivate a new Tenseigan.

With so many members in the Hyuga clan and Hiroji possessing a method to break free from the Caged Bird Seal, he naturally had ample time to deal with the situation.

As for the Ten-Tails and Kaguya Otsutsuki, they cannot be resurrected before Koji succeeds.

Time would gradually take away the pain. Hongzhi could clearly feel that something seemed to have changed in his left eye, but he wasn't quite sure what it was.

Time flies, and when the next morning arrived, Hongzhi discovered that the Yin-attribute natural energy could now enter his left eye without any hindrance, which meant that the transformation of his left eye was complete.

And the Uchiha bloodline, which is closely related to the left eye, should have already undergone a transformation.

As Hongzhi was thinking this, he suddenly realized an important problem: the Yin-attribute natural energy that had flooded into his left eye was not flowing out, but was directly absorbed by his left eye.

This was very strange, and Hiroji did not sense the divine power and Kotoamatsukami in his left eye.

When this happened, all Hongzhi could think of was that something unexpected had happened, but after careful consideration, he did not immediately end this seemingly failed transformation.

Since the left eye is still absorbing yin-attribute natural energy, let's see if there's any chance of a turnaround.

After all, natural energy is free.

With this thought in mind, Hongzhi continued to absorb natural energy and transform it into yin energy, allowing it to flow continuously into his left eye.

This process lasted for a full three hours, during which Hongzhi even changed locations. After all, while natural energy can be said to be inexhaustible, there is still an upper limit to a certain area within a certain period of time.

Three hours later, the Yin-attribute natural energy that surged into the left eye again would not be absorbed, but would re-enter the body and eventually enter the lower dantian.

After discovering this, Hongzhi stopped actively absorbing large amounts of energy and instead allowed his body to automatically absorb natural energy and store it in his lower dantian.

The left eye remained unchanged, and Kotoamatsukami and Kamui could not sense it. Even the vision in the left eye had disappeared. If it weren't for the fact that the left eye looked exactly the same as before when reflected in the mirror, Hiroji would have already taken action.

For Hongzhi, the best outcome would be if nothing happened. As for whether there would be any changes to his left eye, Hongzhi was still quite hopeful.

Regardless of what happens to the left eye, it will be a valuable lesson for Hongzhi. After all, the right eye is bound to undergo a transformation, and even if the right eye fails, the Rinnegan and Tenseigan he obtains will also undergo such a transformation. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand the changes in the left eye.

For the first few days, there was no change in his left eye, and Hongzhi even took this time to have a genetic test done.

The results were unchanged from before; the Uchiha clan's genes remained on the gene sequence without any alteration.

However, Hongzhi was still not in a hurry. Naruto Uzumaki had not returned yet, and the Two-Tails had not been resurrected. There was still a long time to wait. Hongzhi had enough time to wait.

This change didn't last long. Just the day after Hongzhi relaxed his mindset, his left eye started to feel burning hot, and this feeling instantly spread throughout his entire head.

Hiroji suddenly felt a sense of unease. He closed his eyes, and it felt as if several centuries had passed. In fact, memories of his past life and those of Nara Shikamaru flashed before his eyes...

However, upon closer inspection, only five minutes had passed.

Under these circumstances, the shadow clones are forced to work overtime, but since they are made of natural energy, there is no need to worry about them suddenly disappearing.

On the third day of working overtime with his shadow clone, Hiroji had an even worse experience: his left eye started bleeding, and the blood that flowed out was black.

However, after the black blood stopped, Hongzhi felt much lighter in his mind, though he didn't know if it was just his imagination.

At the same time, the temperature of his head was gradually returning to normal, and as everything was recovering, Hiroji could feel that the ability of his left eye was gradually returning.

First, the most basic vision is restored, then the most basic abilities of the three-tomoe Sharingan are restored, and finally, the Kamui and Kotoamatsukami originally contained in the left eye are restored.

As Kotoamatsukami recovered, a prompt appeared before Hiroji once again.

【The Eye of the Immortal (Yin)】

There were no further displays, but seeing this scene still made Hongzhi extremely happy. This meant that the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had been completely refined, and the corresponding Uchiha bloodline should have also undergone special changes.

It's a pity that Susanoo wasn't unlocked. Hongzhi wasn't surprised by this, since the Uchiha clan needs to collect both Mangekyou Sharingan to unlock Susanoo.

So after the transformation, it should look like this.

After all, when Obito Uchiha awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan, it even triggered the awakening of his other eye.

Even so, Susanoo still did not awaken.
