The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

After being rejected, Hiroji was not surprised, and walked towards the location of the Three-Tails on his own.

Hongzhi had already sensed it; the Three-Tails was still very intact and quite large, indicating that its chakra had not been absorbed by anyone.

Hongzhi was very satisfied with this. Since the Three-Tails was a complete tailed beast, if Hongzhi took it away, he could avoid hindering the resurrection of the Ten-Tails.

Even Black Zetsu couldn't conjure a tailed beast out of thin air.

Upon seeing this, Deidara and Sasori continued their attack on Hiroji, though they didn't know how their previous attack had penetrated his body.

Both of them were seasoned ninjas who had seen many strange and unusual abilities, but none of them were completely unsolvable.

As long as the attack continues, an opening will eventually be found. All of their attacks were pierced by Hiroji in his intangible state, and taking advantage of this time, Hiroji also directly arrived in front of the Three-Tails.

The Three-Tails is still trying hard, at least it is still trying to turn things around, but the result is somewhat touching. It's not that the Three-Tails doesn't have the strength to return to the bottom of the water.

It was just that it was getting annoyed by being constantly disturbed, especially when it was blown up. The Three-Tails wanted to show that guy what the threat of a Tailed Beast was like.

After arriving here, Hiroji did not intend to continue playing with the art group. The Three-Tailed Fox was still very important, at least for Hiroji.

Taking advantage of the gap in Deidara and Sasori's attacks, Hiroji stretched out his right hand, and the originally docile shadow changed directly, then charged towards the Third Kazekage who was being controlled by Sasori.

The Shadow Threads were incredibly fast. Just as Sasori was about to attack, he discovered that the chakra threads between himself and the Third Kazekage had been severed by something.

After successfully gaining control of the Third Kazekage, Hiroji immediately controlled the guy to fly towards Deidara.

Hongzhi didn't know what abilities this puppet had, nor did he have time to study them carefully. It was better to just let it use normal attacks.

In any case, the Third Kazekage in this state held a blade laced with deadly poison.

If that had landed on Deidara, it certainly wouldn't have felt good.

"careful!"

Upon witnessing such a bizarre scene, Sasori was taken aback and simultaneously exclaimed to Deidara.

"What's going on, Brother Scorpion?!"

Deidara was also somewhat surprised at this moment. How could this person control Brother Sasori's puppet?

Chapter 280 It seems I need to teach you a lesson.

The Third Kazekage's puppet was chasing Deidara in the air, but Hiroji didn't actually know much about this puppet.

It could only serve as a restriction, but Sasori was no pushover. Seeing that Hiroji was dealing with Deidara, he directly unbuttoned the Akatsuki's clothes.

After throwing it aside, it charged towards Hongzhi.

Faced with this situation, Hiroji immediately pulled back the puppet of the Third Kazekage to stop Sasori.

In the battle of puppetry, Hiroji was destined to be no match for Sasori. After the Third Kazekage's puppets were restricted, Hiroji directly entered a Hollowfication state to dodge Deidara's clay bird attack.

"I'm too busy to play with you guys."

Hiroji removed the Shadow Thread connecting the Third Kazekage and spoke casually.

Sasori and Deidara, who had once again obtained the puppet of the Third Kazekage, sneered and once again manipulated the puppet, throwing out clay.

"There's really no other way; it seems I need to teach you a lesson."

Hongzhi slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they had transformed into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

A bluish-purple skull rose from the ground, directly blocking Sasori and Deidara's attacks.

"This is!"

Deidara immediately controlled the clay bird to retreat, but Sasori was no fool either.

The bluish-purple skeleton gradually solidified, and Susanoo gradually grew. With the appearance of the bluish-purple gourd and shield, the semi-complete Susanoo was directly revealed.

This is the limit of the Mangekyou Sharingan's use of Susanoo. Although Hiroji could make it continue to grow, it was unnecessary against Deidara and Sasori.

Unless they have to withstand Deidara's self-destruction head-on, as for Sasori, even if he uses the Hundred Puppet Technique, he probably won't be able to break through Susanoo's defense.

After all, the quantity of puppets is not the same as their quality.

"This is really tricky."

Scorpion spoke calmly, showing no fear in the face of the sudden appearance of the half-armored skeleton.

Under his control, the Third Kazekage puppet opened its mouth and spat out iron sand containing deadly poison. This was Sasori's confidence in facing this attack.

Although it's uncertain whether it will succeed, running away directly is not Scorpion's attitude.

The iron sand gradually spread and soon completely covered Susanoo. Seeing this, Deidara, who was just about to create an even stronger clay bird, stopped.

As Hongzhi watched the purple venom dripping from the iron sand, his lips twitched involuntarily. Although the venom was blocked by Susanoo, Susanoo was not invincible. At the very least, the Third Kazekage's iron sand, combined with the venom created by Sasori, could cause damage to Susanoo.

Hongzhi did not break the so-called barrier immediately, since Susanoo would not be broken in a short time anyway.

However, since he wanted to teach Sasori and Deidara a lesson, Hiroji wouldn't sit idly by. He covered Susanoo with iron sand, making it a little more troublesome for Hiroji to control.

But it's really harmless. The greatest advantage of natural energy is that it's inexhaustible. As long as Hiroji is willing, he can keep going against Sasori of the Red Sand.

Hongzhi controlled Susanoo and directly grasped the Third Kazekage puppet that was spewing iron sand in the air.

Since it's a human puppet, it should have some ninjutsu organization, right? Although it has been modified, it should be fine to use it for Edo Tensei. Anyway, it doesn't cost any money to try it out.

As Hongzhi thought this, he suddenly increased the natural energy that was maintaining Susanoo. The Susanoo, which was still moving somewhat stiffly, directly grabbed the Third Kazekage puppet that was still maintaining the iron sand, to Sasori's incredulous gaze.

It would be impossible for Susanoo to grasp it at its original speed, Sasori was very certain of this, which is why he did not let the puppet dodge.

But who would have thought that this guy could suddenly accelerate!

Susanoo reached out and delivered the puppet directly to Hongzhi.

As the Third Kazekage puppet entered Susanoo's body, the surrounding sand and iron barrier dissipated.

Hongzhi, on the other hand, threw the puppet directly into the Kamui Space, intending to study it after some time to see if he could create the Edo Tensei body of the Third Kazekage.

This happened very quickly. Before Sasori could react from the speed boost of Susanoo, Koji immediately put away the Third Kazekage's puppet.

With the scorpion's puppet rendered useless, he faced this enormous creature without hesitation and stretched out his hands, from which a high-pressure stream of water gushed forth.

Upon witnessing this scene, Hongzhi made no move, letting the water flow onto Susanoo.

The Susanoo consumes a higher level of natural energy, but it has no other effect.

Seeing that Susanoo did not react, Sasori stopped attacking and chose to create distance.

At the same time, Deidara, who had been watching the battle, threw out more than a dozen clay birds. Unlike the previous ones, these clay birds were enhanced versions, with two pairs of wings.

The speed is several levels faster than before.

"explode!"

As Deidara's voice rang out, the clay bird exploded, and Susanoo was immediately enveloped in black smoke.

As the black smoke dissipated, what Deidara saw was not the scene of Susanoo gradually collapsing, but the twelve tomoe gathered in Susanoo's right hand.

The moment Deidara saw this thing, he had a bad feeling. However, before the feeling could disappear, he saw the magatama being thrown out.

Sensing a strong sense of danger, Deidara immediately chose to jump from the plane. There was a lake below, so he was sure he wouldn't die from the fall, but if he hesitated any longer, he would be hit directly.

Being hit by that level of chakra would almost certainly mean certain death.

While Deidara was still in the air, the Yasakani no Magatama shattered his original mount, and the resulting storm caused towering waves to engulf the lake.

Under such a storm, Deidara gained an extremely fast acceleration in mid-air, and then fell into the water in a very messy state.

Sasori, who had just regained his footing, looked at Deidara falling into the water, remained silent for a moment, and then walked directly towards him.

We definitely won't be able to bring the Three-Tails back today. The strength of this Uchiha clan member even surpasses that of the already deceased Uchiha Itachi.

Seeing Sasori turn and leave, Hongzhi immediately controlled Susanoo to look at the Three-Tails, which had just turned over by the storm and was now gathering chakra to release the Tailed Beast Ball.

Faced with such a tailed beast, Koji chose to make it a little cuter. He activated the power of Kotoamatsukami in his right eye, and the Three-Tails' eye directly transformed into the appearance of Koji's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

The Three-Tailed Beast Ball died without incident. After Hongzhi put away Susanoo, he landed directly on it and then used Kamui to transfer it.

With Sasori's help, Deidara had just climbed out of the lake when he saw a huge whirlpool swallow the Three-Tails whole.

"This……"

Deidara was speechless for a moment. That guy had actually been hiding his abilities; it was truly terrifying.

"Let's go, the mission has failed."

Scorpion remained relatively calm; when he saw the skeleton suddenly accelerate, he knew the outcome.

Chapter 281 The Death of Kabuto Yakushi

The lake gradually returned to calm. Hongzhi had no interest in chasing after the fleeing Sasori and Deidara. If he wanted to kill them, there was no need to waste time using Susanoo.

Kamui from the left eye could crush Deidara into pieces, and the same applies to Sasori.

The Kamui in his left eye now is not like the one in Kakashi's eyes; it's not only ridiculously slow, but it also lasts for a very short time.

If Hiroji wanted, he could have kept it going for several minutes, and even a tailed beast could be crushed by the spatial power.

The three tails were collected, but Hiroji did not leave immediately. Although Sasori and Deidara had already escaped, there were still people nearby.

Some of them were naturally the few intelligence ninjas left behind by Kirigakure, whom Hongzhi had no interest in.

As for the other group, they were also acquaintances of Hiroji: Kabuto the Pharmacist who had been writhing wildly in the laboratory, a woman who was with him, and a child with various instruments on his head who seemed to have some special abilities.

"We're too late! I didn't expect there would still be someone from the Uchiha clan alive."

In the distant woods, Kabuto pushed up his glasses, feeling somewhat helpless. They had arrived later than the Akatsuki members.

Upon seeing the Akatsuki begin their operation, Kabuto Yakushi was about to interfere with the Three-Tails' actions when he saw someone directly engaging in combat with two members of the Akatsuki.

Upon seeing this, Kabuto thought he could reap the benefits, but after the bluish-purple skeleton appeared, he was completely dumbfounded.

Orochimaru once told him that the Uchiha clan possessed a Sharingan that surpassed the three-tomoe Sharingan. Those who possessed it not only had eye power exceeding that of ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan, but could even use a special ninjutsu.

Kabuto Yakushi didn't think much of it at first, only knowing that the ninjutsu was roughly shaped like a skeleton. But after seeing it today, Kabuto felt that he was deeply impressed, or rather, he couldn't help but be deeply impressed.

"Prepare to retreat, if there's still a chance to retreat..."

Kabuto Yakushi spoke calmly, still unsure if they could leave safely, as the person seemed to have glanced in their direction just now.

I hope to leave safely.

Kabuto turned to leave, but the next second he froze on the spot. Not only him, but Guren, who had just been fighting the Three-Tails head-on, also froze on the spot.
