The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

However, Onoki isn't stupid; he wouldn't just make a move directly.

Hongzhi slowly left the base, and blue ice crystals began to spread as he moved forward. When Hongzhi left the base, the entire base, including the rocks near the base, had turned into blue ice crystals.

It looked like an ice palace from a fairy tale, but Hongzhi did not appreciate such a beautiful sight; instead, he ordered it to be shattered.

The ice palace vanished in an instant, leaving only blue snowflakes drifting in the wind.

After everything was over, Hongzhi slowly entered the Kamui space. The temperature of Ice Release is not fixed. Hongzhi can make it condense above zero degrees, but that would be more like an evolved Crystal Release.

However, Hongzhi didn't care about this. The laboratory here was originally built using Wood Release, but now that there are more suitable abilities, it's natural to replace it.

It's not that there's anything wrong with the way the Wood Release is constructed, it's just that it doesn't look good.

After transforming the interior of the Kamui Space into a kingdom of blue ice crystals, Hiroji felt much better.

Only a quarter of the Divine Might Space is currently usable for combat; half is the base, and the other quarter is the cages.

The one bound here is the Three-Tails. When the Three-Tails first came in, it was not well-behaved and even tried to release the Tailed Beast Ball.

But after being taught a lesson, they became mascots and decorations, remaining motionless.

Chapter 291 A Forced Smile

The illusory figures coalesced in the secret room, and Hongzhi used the Illusionary Body Technique to enter the Akatsuki's illusory meeting.

"Sasori, Deidara, what happened?!"

Once everyone had arrived, Nagato, controlling Pain, calmly inquired, "It's rather strange that so much time has passed without any news."

"It failed."

Deidara spoke nonchalantly, as capturing the tailed beasts wasn't his goal, and he didn't care about failing; at most, he just wanted to find an opportunity for revenge.

"Haha, you talked a good game, but this is all you got!"

Before Pain could speak, Hidan immediately started mocking him. The Akatsuki organization was not harmonious. Although they didn't fight most of the time, they often mocked each other.

However, this time it was serious business, so before Hidan could even laugh a few times, he was immediately fixed on by Pain's Rinnegan.

Hidan's voice abruptly stopped. Facing Pain, who possessed the Rinnegan, Hidan was still quite afraid.

"Could you tell me the specifics?"

Pain continued, stating that based on his understanding of Sasori and Deidara's strength, it was impossible for the two to be unable to defeat the Tailed Beasts; the only possibility was an unexpected situation.

"Just when we were about to capture the Three-Tails, we encountered a traitor from the Akatsuki organization, Obito Uchiha. However, his strength was different from what the intelligence said, so we failed. Now the Three-Tails should be under his control."

Sasori didn't ramble on; he went straight to the most crucial point: Obito Uchiha's strength and the intelligence within the Akatsuki organization were on completely different levels.

The intelligence reports didn't mention that he could control such a terrifying skeleton, or even penetrate all attacks.

"Uchiha Obito..."

Pain's expression remained unchanged, which was normal since Pain was just a puppet, but Nagato's expression behind him was somewhat unnatural.

If the Three-Tails is captured by Obito Uchiha's side, the idea of ​​the Gedo Mazo transforming into the Ten-Tails becomes a false premise. As long as Obito Uchiha does not give up control of the Three-Tails, the Akatsuki will have no chance.

"I remember Obito Uchiha wasn't very strong, are you mistaken?"

Kisame Hoshigaki, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. When he fought Obito Uchiha, he didn't feel that Obito's abilities were particularly troublesome, except that he didn't feel that Obito was particularly strong!

"He's ridiculously strong. His eyes are comparable to those of Itachi Uchiha back then, or even stronger!"

Sasori calmly answered the question. The man had acknowledged Obito Uchiha's identity, and he couldn't be mistaken about it.

"Stronger than Itachi?!"

Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat taken aback. Having witnessed Itachi Uchiha's final battle, he found it hard to imagine that Obito Uchiha, whom he had suppressed, could be stronger than Itachi.

"Hmm, a bluish-purple skeleton, combining offense and defense."

Scorpion added one more sentence, and then fell silent. People who haven't experienced it firsthand won't understand; it's pointless to explain otherwise.

Upon hearing this, Kisame Hoshigaki immediately understood. The skeleton was the technique that appeared when Itachi fought against that Uchiha Shisui.

So there are people in the ninja world who can do this!

"Susanoo, that guy has reappeared. This is not good news."

Kakuzu, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up. Having lived a long enough life, he had heard of such a technique before, except that the user of this technique was Madara Uchiha, who was able to contend with Hashirama Senju.

“Explain in detail.”

Pain looked over. The Akatsuki organization was really lacking in such information. After all, apart from some very old ninjas, who would remember the fear they once had?

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but the person who used this technique back then was Madara Uchiha."

Kakuzu spoke calmly, recalling that era with a touch of emotion.

At the pinnacle, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, along with the founders of all the other ninja villages, were all exceptionally talented individuals.

The younger generation doesn't even have one-fifth of the strength of those people back then.

"Uchiha Madara."

Pain remained calm, but Nagato was not; this name was not good news for the Akatsuki.

Obito Uchiha's strength was verified by Kisame Hoshigaki, and even if it was somewhat strange, it was unlikely that he could cause Deidara and Sasori to fail.

If the person who defeated them was indeed Obito Uchiha, then what exactly happened to him?

If it wasn't Obito Uchiha, then things would be even more complicated. Nagato would prefer that Obito Uchiha found Madara Uchiha's body and obtained something from it.

"Be wary of Obito Uchiha."

Pain left those words behind and vanished without a trace. He needed to think and be on guard. If Obito Uchiha really did become stronger, then he would probably want to take the Rinnegan.

The illusory figure gradually dissipated, and Hiroji opened his eyes in a forest in the Land of Fire. He felt that this meeting was rather boring, as there was no valuable information at all.

However, this makes sense, since the Akatsuki organization is unlikely to be collecting tailed beasts in a high-profile manner right now.

Once this matter is exposed, it will be targeted by the entire ninja world. Without the Ten-Tails, even Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, would have no way to deal with the Five Great Ninja Villages.

Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to Konoha, Hiroji could sense that the Anbu patrols around him had become much tighter, and the ninjas that could previously be seen on the streets had completely disappeared.

"It feels like war is about to break out?!"

Hongzhi felt somewhat taken aback; something seemed off about the atmosphere in Konoha!

However, Hongzhi didn't care about that and went straight back to the dilapidated courtyard.

Konoha will definitely not be destroyed. No other ninja village wants to go to war with Konoha. As for what exactly happened, someone will definitely handle it.

Just as Hongzhi was about to leave a shadow clone and slip away, the gate to the courtyard was pushed open, and Tsunade walked in with Kudo Yuya and Kakashi.

"You're finally back!"

When Tsunade saw Hiroji, she spoke calmly, which surprised Hiroji. After checking himself over and finding that he hadn't forgotten to transform, he casually found a place to sit down.

"Lord Hokage, is there anything you need from me? If not, please don't disturb my rest."

Hongzhi said casually, "Anyway, we can give up on Konoha now. If we can't fight, we might as well just break off all relations."

Tsunade's expression was somewhat unnatural, but she managed to hold back. Last time it was indeed her fault, and she couldn't continue making the same mistake.

"We have some guesses about the identity of that mysterious person. Here is a list; please see if there's anything we need to add!"

Tsunade handed a scroll to Hiroji, a forced smile still on her face.

Hongzhi took the scroll with some surprise. He was still a little taken aback by this, not expecting that Tsunade would actually use the most rudimentary method to investigate!

Chapter 292 Of course, you are the Hokage

Hongzhi opened the scroll with curiosity, initially thinking it contained a list of names and approximate times of disappearance.

However, when Hongzhi saw that there were only a few dozen names, he almost burst out laughing.

That wasn't the most outrageous part. The most outrageous thing was that Obito Uchiha's name wasn't on it at all, which was the most surprising thing for Hongzhi.

Is it about perfectly avoiding the correct answer and then creating some wrong answers?

"Most of these people were killed by Danzo."

After a moment of silence, Hongzhi simply put the scroll aside, then turned and went into the house.

The reason why Hongzhi was able to extract Obito Uchiha's memories was that he had been trained, and the subjects of this training were naturally those reanimated ninjas.

Those discarded scrolls were usually piled up by Hongzhi in the abandoned houses in the Divine Might Space, but unexpectedly they still have a use now.

Although only Danzo's part was used, it was still a good thing, since Danzo had done a lot of bad things, and it also made Tsunade understand just how much trouble Danzo had caused.

Putting aside everything else, Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, may have been thinking about Yahiko's death because of Danzo, in addition to being provoked by Tsunade at the time.

Reaching out of his divine power space, Hongzhi summoned a thick scroll before slowly walking out of the room.

When Hongzhi came out, Tsunade's expression was rather unpleasant, as if Hongzhi's words had just caused her emotions to change again.

"This is all the information extracted from Danzo's head after his death. You can take a close look. Many of the names on that scroll were disposed of by Danzo's men. As for the reason, you'll find out after you read it..."

Hongzhi put the scroll aside, then found a comfortable spot to sunbathe. Despite the seemingly strange atmosphere in Konoha, the sun remained unaffected.

"How could you do such a thing!"

Tsunade found it incredible. She had always thought that this guy was Danzo's confidant, but he had actually extracted information from Danzo's mind after Danzo's death. This completely overturned her understanding of the person in front of her.

"You'll understand why after you read this."

Hongzhi casually replied that when he first started training his shadow clones in this intelligence-gathering ninjutsu, it was back at the base in the Land of Waves.

Because it was uncertain whether anyone would discover the base, some of the content on it had been altered to at least prevent any flaws in the identity.

After all, Hongzhi initially thought that Konoha would definitely conduct some research on Danzo after his death, but he did not expect that when Hongzhi announced Danzo's death, Konoha did not have much of a reaction.

It was as if only an unknown person had died; although Konoha had already undergone changes at that time, the reaction was still too indifferent.

Tsunade looked at Kakashi beside her, and Kakashi, understanding her intention, picked up the thick scroll.

However, the three did not leave immediately. Besides this matter, there was another rather troublesome thing in Konoha.

To be precise, it was something that happened in Kirigakure; it wasn't exactly sabotage.

The Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, wanted to inquire about the specifics of a battle, which was originally nothing unusual.

But things became unusual when it came to Kakashi Hatake, especially after receiving some information from Konoha. The Mizukage of Kirigakure kept trying to talk to her.
