The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

The treatment was so harsh that the patients were treated like dirt, but the recovery was also very quick.

"Is your leg alright?"

Looking at Choji Akimichi, who was being comforted by Choza Akimichi, Shikaku Nara asked instinctively.

Chapter 28 Yang Attribute Chakra

Upon hearing Nara Shikaku's voice, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned to Akimichi Choji's legs.

Iruka, Naruto, and Shikamaru saw it most clearly. They had all seen the wound on Choji's leg after the accident, but now they couldn't see any wound at all when they looked at that spot.

This made the three of them feel somewhat incredulous. Akimichi Choza also noticed this. How could he have been alarmed if the wound was not serious?

But now it seems that the wound has disappeared. The only suspicious thing is the badly worn pants on Choji Akimichi's legs, which even have signs of being cut.

"This……"

Akimichi Choza was completely dumbfounded. How could such a big wound just disappear like that?

"Huh? It really doesn't hurt anymore."

It was only then that Choji Akimichi realized what was happening. He instinctively pressed his wound but felt no pain.

Just then, Hongzhi walked out of Treatment Room Number One.

The sound of the door closing caught the attention of the group. The others looked at the medical ninja who seemed unbelievable to them with some curiosity, while Akimichi Choji collapsed to the ground upon seeing Hiroji.

The image of Hongzhi smiling with a bandage in his hand, and the pain that made him faint and then wake up, are etched in his memory and will likely haunt him for a long time to come.

"Avoid strenuous exercise recently. You should be able to recover to your previous state in about three to five days."

As he passed by the group, Hiroji glanced at Akimichi Choji sitting on the ground, gave him a brief instruction, and then turned and left.

After Hiroji walked away, Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choji turned their attention to Akimichi Choji, who seemed a little off. Something felt off.

"Anyway, it's good that you're alright."

Finally, it was Akimichi Choji who spoke. When he first arrived here, he had also heard Akimichi Choji's inhuman screams, and now it seemed that the pain was still very unforgettable.

"With such medical ninjas, the survival rate of Konoha ninjas might be improved."

Nara Shikaku also analyzed it carefully. Such a medical ninja is definitely a treasure, a hidden force in the major ninja villages.

"Forehead……"

Choza Akimichi glanced at his still-unresponsive son and could only remain silent.

The Nara father and son and the Akimichi father and son left Konoha Hospital. Iruka was relieved to see that Akimichi Choji was alright. As he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Naruto, who was also about to leave.

After a moment's thought, Iruka knew he was going to have to spend some money tonight, so he took Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen.

"One bowl of ramen, with all the toppings added."

Just as the two were about to step into a booth at Ichiraku Ramen, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Iruka was the first to enter the booth, and unsurprisingly, he saw Hiroji already seated and waiting for dinner.

"Does Konoha Hospital close so early?"

After recognizing Hongzhi, Iruka asked with some curiosity, based on his understanding that medical ninjas are always very busy and should be in the operating room or treatment room at this time.

"My skills aren't very good, and the dean is worried that I might make mistakes because of fatigue."

Faced with Iruka's sudden question, Hiroji calmly explained.

Iruka, who was initially just curious, had several question marks on his forehead. Then, he recalled the contrast between Akimichi Choji before and after entering the training room.

Is the technology not very good?

Is this human language?

"You are being too modest."

Although Iruka was full of questions, he still gave a stiff answer to the topic that he had brought up.

Just as Iruka was feeling a little awkward, Hiroji looked at Naruto Uzumaki standing to the side.

"With so much chakra, should I choose to become a medical ninja?"

Naruto Uzumaki, who was still observing Hongzhi, was taken aback when he suddenly heard this question. This person didn't seem to dislike him!

"There's no chance. My chakra control is no match for yours, let alone that of an average student..."

Just as Naruto was about to agree, Iruka's voice slowly came over.

"That's a real shame. I wish I had such terrifying chakra."

Hearing Iruka's words, Hiroji shook his head helplessly, seemingly feeling a little regretful.

Hongzhi knew, of course, that Naruto Uzumaki could not become a medical ninja, but he could still ask casually, just to pass the time.

"Teacher Iruka!"

Naruto's voice sounded somewhat disappointed, as if he felt belittled.

"I'm not trying to discourage you, but not everyone can become a medical ninja. You'll understand when you get there."

After noticing Naruto's condition, Iruka began to comfort him, while Hiroji turned to look at the ramen that had already been prepared.

After eating and drinking his fill, Hongzhi bid farewell to Iruka and Naruto and went straight back to his room.

It was the same familiar storage room. Hongzhi took out the collected muscle and blood and began to study them.

Half an hour later, Hongzhi sat in a chair in the storage room and began to frown. This time, it could be said that he had gotten a result, but it could also be said that he had not gotten a result.

It can only be said that this amount of information was not enough for Hongzhi to come up with a specific method to convert ordinary chakra into yang attribute chakra, but it did give him a general direction.

Chakra nature transformation is actually quite easy to practice. If you know the characteristics of a certain chakra nature, and then try to transform your chakra in that direction, you can succeed as long as you keep working hard.

Thanks to Choji Akimichi's sponsorship, Hiroji learned about the characteristics of Yang Release chakra. Now, all he needed to do was find a way to transform his chakra into Yang Release chakra.

If successful, both strength and medical ninjutsu will undergo a qualitative change, and the two chakra natures can be fused into a bloodline limit.

Hongzhi initially planned to practice Water Release chakra as his second nature and then develop Storm Release. However, if he could now create Yang Release chakra, he might be able to create a rather unique bloodline limit directly.

With its Yang and Thunder attributes, its power should be quite good.

After leaving the storage room, Hongzhi sat on the ground and, instead of continuing his almost uninterrupted body tempering, immediately began training in the transformation of Yang-attribute chakra nature.

The characteristics of the Yang attribute are somewhat special, but Hongzhi's chakra control is still quite good. After two hours of research, a white wisp appeared at Hongzhi's fingertip.

[Yang attribute change; 10%]

At the same time, the prompt appeared directly, which made Hongzhi, who originally just wanted to give it a try, unconsciously smile.

"The rest became simple..."

Although it was already night, Hongzhi still had a smile on his face. He had obtained the Yang attribute, which was undoubtedly a huge step forward.

Next, we can conduct further research on the technique of healing and regeneration, as well as research on interstitial stem cells.

Chapter 29 What a fine young man!

After several days of research, Hongzhi discovered the terrifying nature of Yang-attribute chakra. He realized that if he could transform the palm-wielding chakra into Yang-attribute chakra, he could achieve the desired effect.

This will further enhance healing abilities and recovery speed, and the same applies to other medical ninjutsu.

This surprised Hongzhi, as the discovery solved the problem of the regeneration technique consuming a large amount of chakra.

Of course, Yang Release chakra is not omnipotent and has certain drawbacks. Converting ordinary chakra into Yang Release chakra becomes very rare. In addition, using Yang Release chakra consumes a lot of stamina.

The drawback is quite obvious: if you use Yang-attribute chakra to perform medical ninjutsu or engage in combat, it will reduce the duration of Hongzhi's abilities.

This is a very serious problem, but with the breaking of the limits of Yang attribute changes, the dawn of a solution has arrived.

[Yang attribute change; Limit Break +1 (11%), Life +1]

This characteristic can be said to be unexpected, but upon closer examination, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

The increase in life force enhanced Hongzhi's original chakra and even his physique.

Such a transformation is undoubtedly the dawn of solving all problems, and with his understanding of Yang attribute chakra deepening, Hongzhi's research on Hashirama's stem cells is also gradually progressing.

Although no key results have been achieved yet, it's only a matter of time.

This surprised Hongzhi, but another event caught him off guard and even made him feel sad.

The original No. 1 treatment room at Konoha Hospital has now been affectionately called the "Demon Treatment Room" by the Konoha ninjas.

This isn't a problem with the treatment room; everyone else was fine when they were in treatment room number one.

However, whenever Hongzhi went to Treatment Room No. 1, it would immediately turn into the Demon Treatment Room, which made Hongzhi feel somewhat helpless.

The most important reason for this incident is that news of Choji Akimichi's treatment has already spread. As an old clan in Konoha, although they cannot compare with the Hyuga clan, which possesses a bloodline limit.

However, the Akimichi clan, who were once staunch supporters of the Sarutobi clan, are still very strong. They are skilled at using Yang-style chakra to activate secret techniques and are considered a core force in Konoha.

As the son of the Akimichi clan patriarch, he was bound to attract attention. In addition, some people had previously experienced Hiroji's treatment methods, which caused the news, which was originally only circulating in a small circle, to spread rapidly.

Coupled with Choji Akimichi's somewhat awkward performance, Hiroji became a demon in the eyes of many.

Of course, this was just because it was painful during treatment, and it wasn't because Hongzhi did anything heinous.

When Kudo Yuya learned of this, she didn't react much. Medical ninjas value efficiency in treating their comrades more than reputation, so Kudo Yuya didn't say anything in this situation.

The key point is that while the ninjas called him Hongzhi, when they arrived at Konoha Hospital and were assigned treatment rooms, they still preferred to go to treatment room number one.

Ninjas aren't stupid; they naturally know that the sooner they recover, the better. So, a group of people outside Konoha Hospital complained about Hongzhi's cruel and brutal methods, but they would still obediently go to Treatment Room Number One.

This scene left Kudo Yuya speechless, but no one stirred up trouble about it.

Kudo Yuya copied a scroll of the regeneration technique that Hiroji had previously developed and then sent it directly to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As a ninjutsu expert, Hiruzen Sarutobi, although he didn't know medical ninjutsu, still had some appreciation skills, so he simply added it to the Book of Sealing with a wave of his hand.

Of course, Hiruzen Sarutobi also understood that the regeneration technique recorded on this scroll would be very difficult to perform.

Putting everything else aside, there's definitely no one in Konoha right now who could learn it, not even his former student, Tsunade, would have a hard time doing it.

Because of this scroll, Hiruzen Sarutobi personally went to Konoha Hospital, originally intending to meet Hiroji, but after seeing the few ninjas queuing outside the No. 1 treatment room, he immediately gave up on the plan.

He also had the Anbu investigate, and they saw the shadow of Orochimaru in Hongzhi. There was a time when Orochimaru was also conducting crazy research, which ultimately led him astray.

If Hongzhi goes astray, he will be in even greater danger. Medical ninjutsu, once taken a step further, will be in Orochimaru's forbidden territory.
