The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

If this person truly possesses the ability to control the Fourth Mizukage, she needs to be extremely wary.

Mei Terumi looked at the area shrouded in Boil Release and saw a black-clad figure wearing a mask that only revealed a pair of eyes slowly walking towards them.

The highly corrosive Boil Release seemed to have no effect on him at all; even the clothes on his body were immune to Boil Release.

Although they haven't officially clashed yet, Mei Terumi already sensed how troublesome her opponent was; the fact that Boil Release wasn't working was already a problem.

Before Hiroji could get close, Mei Terumi began forming hand seals again, and then a ball of lava spewed out of her mouth.

Upon seeing this scene, Hongzhi's lips twitched; it looked rather unseemly!

However, Hiroji, in his intangible state, wouldn't care at all. In any case, all attacks would be ineffective within ten minutes. Not to mention Mei Terumi's Lava Release, Hiroji could even pass right through Mei Terumi herself.

In a sense, the two are not in the same space; Mei Terumi is in the ninja world, while Hiroji is in the Kamui space.

Chapter 278 You're not doing a good job as the Mizukage!

"How is that possible!"

Mei Terumi was overjoyed to see her attack hit, but then she was shocked to find that the guy had actually managed to pass right through her attack.

Whether it's Boil Release or Lava Release, even the most basic kunai will be pierced, making it practically impossible to attack this person.

This is when Mei Terumi felt a sense of powerlessness. She began to understand how the Fourth Mizukage was controlled. If this person could be immune to all attacks, then it wouldn't matter who it was, let alone the Fourth Mizukage!

"It's not that impossible. Don't be naive enough to think that things you haven't seen don't exist. The differences between people are much greater than you imagine!"

As Hongzhi spoke calmly, he had already located the Three-Tails as soon as he arrived in the Land of Water, and originally thought he could sneak it away.

As soon as he got close, he was surrounded by ninjas from Kirigakure. Hongzhi didn't want to lower himself to their level, but when he saw the familiar Byakugan, he wanted to collect it.

As it turns out, that guy named Qing is still very fast, and even with the wounds caused by Mei Terumi's Boil Release, he is still alive and well.

"I don't believe there could be such an invincible ability."

Mei Terumi coldly looked at Hiroji and began forming hand seals again, clearly not someone who would easily submit.

Hongzhi did not react to this, but instead accelerated and passed through Mei Terumi's body, then appeared next to the ninja named Ao.

Without much discussion, Hongzhi sent it directly into the Divine Might Space. This guy was quite clever; there was a seal engraved on his Byakugan, so it was impossible to take it out directly.

Since that's the case, then the only option left is to go from stealing eyes to killing, since the elite troops resurrected through Edo Tensei haven't been replenished in a long time anyway.

Elite Jonin of Kirigakure barely qualify.

As soon as Qing entered the Divine Might Space, he saw hundreds of identical people staring at him, and the next second he fainted.

Just as Ao was being sent away, Mei Terumi's attack struck again. Mei Terumi was still somewhat shaken after being suddenly pierced through.

But just as this person was transferring Qing, he didn't pass through directly, but instead grabbed Qing. This should be the moment when he could attack this person.

Mei Terumi's judgment was quite accurate; her short-range physical skills were also quite good, but her speed was simply too slow.

Hongzhi turned around and casually grabbed her attacking left hand. However, while she was still in shock, he kicked her directly in the abdomen.

Mei Terumi, whose face had just shown surprise at having her left hand grabbed, suddenly turned into one of extreme pain.

Her physical skills weren't too bad, but after taking a kick, she could barely stand, and even her bones cracked.

If it were any other ninja, they would probably have been kicked to death. And because her left hand was being held, she didn't fly away directly.

Although he avoided the injury that could have been caused by a back impact, the excruciating pain and loss of sensation in his left arm made him realize that his left arm was completely useless.

Mei Terumi felt somewhat incredulous; wasn't this person's strength a bit too outrageous...?

Before she could think any further, Hiroji grabbed Terumi Mei's neck with his right hand and lifted her up, having obviously released her crippled left arm.

Mei Terumi felt her breathing becoming difficult, her chest heaving violently, and her right hand and legs seemed to want to do something.

However, Mei Terumi has not yet mastered hand seals, so she can only try to attack Hiroji using physical techniques.

"Is being good-looking enough to become the Mizukage of Kirigakure?!"

As Hiroji asked curiously, Mei Terumi's face turned ashen. At the same time, the Hidden Mist Village ninjas who had come to their senses were also stunned by this scene.

Seeing the Mizukage, who was usually known for his strength, in such a sorry state, most people's confidence was about to explode. The only one who was still gathering chakra in an attempt to change the situation was Chojuro.

The Hiramekarei Twin Blades were unleashed, their original blades imbued with blue chakra, and their size was super doubled.

Chojuro slashed directly at Hiroji's back; if it hit, it would undoubtedly save Mei Terumi.

Unfortunately, the chakra reaction was too intense; even with his eyes closed, Hongzhi could tell where the attack was coming from.

Just as Hiramekarei and Hiroji made contact, Mei Terumi suddenly felt a sense of relief. The next second, Chojuro, carrying Hiramekarei, directly pierced through the enemy and struck her solidly.

Perhaps noticing this, Chojuro, wielding Hiramekarei, forcibly changed direction, preventing Mei Terumi from being beheaded.

Even so, Mei Terumi's left shoulder to right abdomen was cleaved open with a huge gash, and she was thrown a great distance by the impact. This was only because Chojuro had stopped the chakra supply and changed the direction of the attack.

"You're not doing a good job as the water censor!"

Having witnessed this scene firsthand, Hiroji smiled as he looked at Terumi Mei, who lay on the ground unable to move.

This guy has two bloodline limits within him, making him a good subject for research, but Hiroji no longer has any interest in bloodline limits.

Just as Hiroji was pondering, Chojuro, who had successfully hit Mei Terumi, once again used Hiramekarei to block Mei Terumi's path.

"The crime of assassinating the Mizukage is quite serious. Do you want to join my side? Although your strength is very poor, you cooperated with me quite well just now."

Hongzhi looked at Chojuro calmly and spoke. He had a good opinion of the man and sword in front of him. Of course, it would be even better if Chojuro were removed.

The Thunder Blade and the Executioner's Blade are both treasured in the Kamui dimension. If this one is added, it will make three, and we will be halfway to collecting all seven ninja swords.

"dream!"

Chojuro gritted his teeth and spoke, then prepared to launch another attack. In response, Hiroji used a Body Flicker Technique to appear beside him and then directly cleaved Chojuro's left arm in two with a hand chop.

It's not about cutting, but about using brute force to cleave it; the pain from those two methods is on completely different levels.

Chojuro, who was originally preparing to attack, knelt down due to the intense pain and the impact.

The liberated flounder also landed directly to the side.

"Nice knife. For the sake of this knife, I'll stop playing with you."

Hiroji picked up the flounder and studied it carefully. Satisfied, he walked towards the distant lake. Besides Kirigakure, others had already arrived here and had even begun to take action.

I'm determined to get the Three-Tailed Fox, but I wouldn't mind if I could just have some fun with it as well.

However, his strength improved too quickly, and even the Kage level couldn't give Hongzhi any sense of satisfaction.

Chapter 279 What's going on here?!

After putting away Hiramekarei, Hiroji didn't even glance at Mei Terumi lying on the ground or Chojuro, whose face looked grim, but instead walked directly across the water towards the distance.

That was where the Three-Tailed Fox lived, and Hiroji could sense that the natural energy around it was not particularly stable.

Kirigakure originally did keep track of the Three-Tails' movements at all times, but after Hiroji appeared, they lost the ability to observe the Three-Tails' movements.

Naturally, some people will take advantage of this time to try and take the Three-Tails away.

Moreover, these two were acquaintances of Hongzhi, but they did not have much interaction with him.

The Akatsuki's artistic duo, Sasori and Deidara.

The two were quite fast. After receiving the information, Hongzhi began to act. Although the Land of Water had no coordinates, their speed was not slow.

However, to Hongzhi's surprise, Deidara and Sasori arrived here so quickly.

However, considering Deidara's Nendoroid Asuka, Hiroji felt that this was understandable.

Hongzhi did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel. If he had used it during the battle, wouldn't it have prevented Obito Uchiha from being blamed?

Without coordinates, Kamui wouldn't be much faster than walking, so it's not impossible for Deidara and Sasori to fly directly here.

They have the most accurate intelligence from Nagato, and there should be a group of them here. The reason they haven't made a direct move is probably because of the ninjas from Kirigakure.

Although the Akatsuki members are all very powerful, they still don't want to be disturbed by others when facing the Tailed Beasts.

When Hongzhi caused a disturbance among the ninjas of Kirigakure, this side began the plan to capture the Three-Tails.

"Art is an explosion!"

As soon as Hongzhi approached the area, he heard Deidara's loud voice, and then it was as if something was thrown directly from the bottom of the water.

Suddenly, a massive wave surged up. Upon witnessing this scene, Hiroji suddenly felt that the Three-Tails seemed to be naturally helpless against someone like Deidara.

They couldn't hit it, and although their defense was strong, they were helpless against clay bombs and could only obediently take the beating.

Even if you use the Tailed Beast Ball, it's impossible to hit Deidara who is riding a clay bird in the air. After all, the concentration of the Tailed Beast Ball is too obvious, and there is still a lot of room to dodge in the air.

The lake returned to calm, but unlike last time, this time a three-tailed creature, blown over, appeared on the surface. Although it still had the ability to resist, it was its last struggle.

To be honest, the Three-Tails is quite pitiful. Ever since it was targeted by Madara Uchiha, it has been constantly going through two journeys of death and resurrection.

First, she was sent to be resurrected by Kakashi along with that female ninja named Rin. Right after being resurrected, she was sent into the body of the Fourth Mizukage.

It's estimated that he was directly controlled by Obito Uchiha before he could adapt to the new environment. Later, he was even grilled by Itachi Uchiha. Although it's unknown whether Itachi directly grilled him to death, he died in the end anyway.

Having just been resurrected, he was targeted by the Akatsuki organization again, and the dignified Tailed Beast was blasted into such a wretched state by Deidara, making him extremely pathetic.

As Hiroji was about to continue observing the situation of the Three-Tailed Fox, he noticed that Sasori, who had just approached, had already summoned the puppet of the Third Kazekage.

While staying with Hiruko might be nice, it's pointless when facing a formidable enemy.

Since this person was able to get here after dealing with the Hidden Mist Village, taking away Hiruko is the best option.

While Sasori was on high alert, Deidara also arrived near Hiroji in his clay Asuka.

"Uchiha Obito?!"

As Deidara approached, his expression gradually became excited. He had been subdued by Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu in the past, and had been trying to improve his ability to deal with genjutsu over the years.

Seeing the Uchiha clan again, especially since they were enemies of the Akatsuki, naturally made them eager to try their luck.

"Let's make a deal, give me the Three-Tails!"

Looking at the art duo, Hongzhi calmly said, "If we really have to fight, the Akatsuki's members will continue to decrease. Then what's the point of catching tailed beasts in the future?"

"You think there's any possibility of negotiating this?!"

Deidara threw several clay birds at Hiroji, effectively rejecting the proposal.

The clay bird passed directly through Hiroji's body and exploded on the water behind him, causing ripples on the lake. Hiroji remained unaffected.
