The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Tsunade didn't notice Itachi's expression. After learning the truth, Tsunade couldn't help but take a step back.

Itachi Uchiha had no reason to deceive her, but it was precisely because of this that Tsunade felt an invisible fear spreading through her, and Madara Uchiha's reason for fighting back then was now clear.

That terrifying link in the chain of reasoning has been confirmed, so how far away can the rest be?

Now all we need to do is find the place where Second Grandfather placed Madara Uchiha's body and see if there are any bones inside, and we can determine whether Madara Uchiha faked his death and escaped.

Kudo Yuuya's eyes were filled with horror. The Uchiha and Senju, who had fought to the death during the Warring States period, actually had such a secret. This was simply defying the heavens!

If the Uchiha and Senju clans had married, what would have been left for anyone else in the ninja world?

Although we don't know what the so-called "Senra Bansho" is, the Mangekyou Sharingan is already outrageous enough, and the power of the Senju clan is no less impressive.

Although no one can reach the level of the First Hokage, the physique of the Senju clan is still terrifying.

Unfortunately, with the death of the Second Hokage, the Senju clan was so eager for revenge that they lost too much power and eventually went into hiding in the village of Konoha.

To unite the clan, the Senju clan encouraged intermarriage; otherwise, they would never have been completely wiped out by a single battle.

"I see, thank you for your hard work."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned to look at Hiroji beside her. Now that the questioning was over, could it be that Itachi Uchiha could be put to eternal sleep? Being used as an impure resurrection technique must have been unpleasant.

"This is a deal between him and me, so Lord Hokage doesn't need to worry about it."

Hongzhi said calmly, "If we just let Uchiha Itachi go, we'll have to find a spy to perform the Impure World Reincarnation again, which would be quite troublesome."

Uchiha Itachi's coffin slowly disappeared, and he said nothing, his face full of frustration. Hongzhi had indeed wanted Uchiha Itachi to interpret it on the spot, but although he knew the general content of the stone tablet, he had not studied it in detail.

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha's scroll did not specify which areas could be seen with the Mangekyou Sharingan and which areas could be seen with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

If Itachi Uchiha isn't prevented from revealing crucial information in time, who knows how long it will take to solidify and emphasize the deductions!

"What kind of deal did you make?!"

As Itachi Uchiha disappeared, Tsunade calmly asked, "If someone with all forbidden techniques were to collect several Kage-level Edo Tensei users, wouldn't that be incredible?"

"Ensure that Sasuke Uchiha is not devoured by Orochimaru, and when necessary, give him Itachi Uchiha's legacy so that he can obtain the same eyes as Madara Uchiha."

Hongzhi explained casually, and Tsunade's lips twitched when she heard this. "Is he going to ensure that Uchiha Sasuke won't be devoured by Orochimaru?"

If you had chosen to continue the pursuit back then, Sasuke Uchiha would never have ended up with Orochimaru.

Chapter 303 Uchiha Clan Stone Tablet

It was the familiar conference room again, but unlike last time, Hongzhi had a large number of scrolls and documents piled up in front of him, and they were covered with a lot of dust.

These are scrolls and documents provided by Tsunade, most of which are documents that only the Hokage of each generation are qualified to access.

There are many documents from the Tobirama Senju period, but no specific research content is available, suggesting that Tsunade was quite wary of this possibility.

However, the problem wasn't too big. Hiroji knew a lot about Tobirama Senju's research on the Sharingan, and the rest wasn't particularly important.

After learning about the myriad phenomena of the universe, Tsunade will definitely start research on Hashirama's cells. Konoha can only entrust this matter to Hiroji.

"The contents of this book should be helpful in verifying your hypothesis. I hope you can find the place where Madara Uchiha's body is sealed as soon as possible. If he did indeed fake his death and escape, it would be a disaster for the ninja world."

Tsunade spoke calmly, explaining that the specific meaning of the myriad phenomena was something that probably no one except Madara Uchiha could know, but that was precisely why she wanted to unravel it as soon as possible.

Regardless of whether it will bring any benefits to Konoha along the way, even if there are no benefits, this is an operation that must be carried out. After all, this is the power that Madara Uchiha once obtained, and it is a potential threat.

"I will try to find it, but after learning of the Second Hokage's death, Madara Uchiha can completely destroy that place, since no one will know anyway."

Hongzhi spoke casually, then left with the documents. There was still a lot of information on them; perhaps he could discover something interesting.

"We are preparing to restart the research experiments on the interstitial cells. Let Hiroji first see if we can find a way to avoid side effects. If we can find a relatively safe transplantation method, we will then discuss it further."

Tsunade looked at Kudo Yuya beside her and calmly said, "The peak of the Senju clan's power is the First Hokage. If they can really research something, it will definitely be good news for Konoha."

Even if it's impossible to replicate that terrifying fighting power from before, improving one's physique is still a great achievement.

"He would probably be quite interested."

Kudo Yuya nodded calmly. She was quite clear about the matter. Hiroji said he was in seclusion, but he didn't actually seem to be in seclusion. In other words, he was just slacking off.

In the dead of night, at the shrine in the Uchiha clan compound, Itachi Uchiha was once again woken up abruptly. As soon as he regained consciousness, he glared fiercely at Hiroji, clearly still harboring resentment over what had happened during the day.

"Take me to the stone tablet."

Hongzhi had no intention of responding to him. The Uchiha clan's stone tablet was still very important. Although he didn't know what the Sage of Six Paths had written on it, the content that Black Zetsu had compiled was definitely valuable.

It's impossible to simply write: "The combination of the two yields the myriad phenomena of the universe." Such a statement is no different from nonsense.

Itachi Uchiha was very unwilling, but he had no choice. If he didn't go, this guy would say something like, "He's holding a knife to Sasuke Uchiha's neck."

In the dimly lit secret room, Itachi Uchiha and Hiroji arrived one after the other in front of the Sage of Six Paths' stone tablet.

Flames were slowly lit beside the stone tablet, and both Hongzhi and Uchiha Itachi stared at the stone tablet of the Sage of Six Paths.

Uchiha Itachi first glanced at the parts he could decipher and found that there was nothing about combining the two to obtain the myriad phenomena of the universe. He could then be certain that this guy was just fooling people at noon today.

"Does it contain the method to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan?"

After Itachi Uchiha finished reading, Hongzhi asked curiously. He did not activate his Mangekyou Sharingan to look at it directly, but examined the stone tablet with ordinary eyes.

"No, that's because Madara Uchiha came to this conclusion after his experience. Many people know about it, but no one can obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Itachi Uchiha calmly explained that the content above held no appeal for him, and there was no information about the Senju clan whatsoever.

He only talked about how the Uchiha clan could enhance their eye power, but he wasn't particularly clear about what came next, or what kind of peace they sought after enhancing their eye power.

"As expected, there are still special things here."

Hongzhi nodded calmly, then sent Uchiha Itachi back. He didn't immediately offer any explanation, but simply stood there silently.

The secret technique of the Otsutsuki clan, Koji obtained the Yang attribute from Hyuga Neji, which came into play when he awakened the Tenseigan.

When Hongzhi first stood in front of the stone tablet, he felt something was wrong. After receiving further information from Itachi Uchiha, Hongzhi roughly understood what Black Zetsu had written on it.

A secret technique specifically designed for the Uchiha clan, or rather, a secret technique specifically designed for those who have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Or it could be called a method of training pupil power. As for whether it is the Yin attribute secret technique that Hongzhi has been looking for, it still needs to be verified. However, the fact that it can increase pupil power makes Hongzhi's trip here worthwhile.

As for why it wasn't interpreted immediately, it's because it was content left by Black Zetsu. Although he might not have the power to cause trouble with it, it's always better to be cautious.

By placing his hand on the stone tablet, Hongzhi used his divine power to send it into the divine power space, so that no matter what tricks Black Zetsu played, it wouldn't have any effect.

In the Uchiha clan's secret chamber, the flames were still burning slowly, but the stone tablet that the Uchiha clan had enshrined was missing. This stone tablet, which led Madara Uchiha down the wrong path, needed to be dealt with by Hongzhi.

This is not for personal possession, but simply to prevent the descendants of the Uchiha clan from going down the wrong path again.

On a square in the Kamui Space, Hongzhi activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and began to slowly decipher the contents of the stone tablet.

At the beginning, there was nothing special about it, and it didn't seem like Black Zetsu's work. Instead, it looked more like something left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.

The general idea is to explain what tragic event occurred, in order to warn future generations.

Then the art style started to change. First, there was Itachi Uchiha's method for enhancing eye power, which is something that only the Mangekyou Sharingan can read. It's conceivable that Black Zetsu believed that only the Uchiha clan, who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, could possibly complete the Eye of the Moon plan.

Of course, it's also possible that this is to screen for the reincarnation of Indra. Those who can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan are not necessarily the reincarnation of Indra, but those who cannot awaken it are definitely not the reincarnation of Indra.

Chapter 304 Transformation of the Upper Dantian

Hongzhi stared quietly at the stone tablet in front of him. He didn't bother to interpret the contents on the back, but instead kept his eyes on the so-called method to enhance pupil power.

Simply put, it involves allowing Yin-attribute chakra to undergo some transformations before injecting it into the Mangekyou Sharingan, gradually strengthening the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities.

From a certain perspective, it can be considered a secret technique. Hongzhi transformed chakra into natural energy and then conducted experiments. His eyes did indeed feel a warm sensation, but it did not cause any so-called qualitative change.

Having confirmed this, Hongzhi continued reading downwards. What followed was still not the content of the Eye of the Moon Project, but rather the method to awaken the Rinnegan.

By combining the powers of the Senju and Uchiha, one can awaken the Rinnegan.

That's all that's recorded above. As for how they were combined into one, there's absolutely no explanation. It's possible that even Black Zetsu himself doesn't know.

But one thing is certain: this statement had absolutely no effect on Hongzhi.

As Hongzhi continued reading, he still couldn't find anything useful. However, there was indeed no mention of the Eye of the Moon Plan. As for the last part, Hongzhi couldn't understand it, but perhaps that was Black Zetsu's final Eye of the Moon Plan.

A reincarnation of Indra awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. When he was lost and confused, he saw the contents of this stone tablet. He then gradually strengthened his eye power and eventually fell into Black Zetsu's conspiracy step by step.

From one perspective, Black Zetsu was a talented individual, but from another, he deserved to die.

Hongzhi didn't particularly care about this. The fact that it could enhance the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan was already an unexpected surprise. The upper dantian was currently useless, so it could be used to inscribe such a secret technique, serving as a concentration point for yin-attribute natural energy.

In that case, perhaps something different will happen the next time the lower dantian is full.

With that in mind, Hongzhi immediately began his research. The first thing he needed to inscribe was the technique to transform ordinary natural energy into Yin energy, and then the secret technique he had just obtained.

The process was quite quick; at least a few minutes later, Hongzhi completed the Yin-attribute natural energy technique, and the subsequent techniques were not as difficult.

After completing the inscription, Hongzhi slowly pondered the changes to come, while simultaneously allowing natural energy to continuously flow into his upper dantian. Although his middle dantian had not yet undergone transformation, his upper dantian still had a chance.

The shadow clones have already read the scrolls Tsunade gave them, and they are even slowly "studying" the Hashirama cell research that Konoha started overnight.

That thing has been studied many times, so we just need to wait for the right time and give it to Konoha. As for who will inject Hashirama's cells, that's not something Hiroji will care about.

In any case, an ordinary ninja who has no relation to the Otsutsuki clan, even if injected with the magic, would at most become a Yamato.

Moreover, he would have to endure unimaginable pain. He would naturally be more lenient with himself, slowly integrating and allowing his body to gradually adapt, but he would not be so lenient with others.

Anyway, in Hashirama Senju's cell experiments, the last one resulted in total annihilation, and this time, how many will survive depends on Hiroji's mood.

Time is slowly passing by. Two years have passed since Naruto Uzumaki left the village. At the beginning, Hiroji felt that three years would be enough, but now it seems that this amount of time is not enough to accomplish anything!

Although a suitable method for awakening the Rinnegan has not yet been found, Hongzhi can sense the changes in his upper dantian. The Yin attribute transformation technique has been completely integrated into his dantian, which is very good news.

Because yin-attribute natural energy flows into the eyes, it is quite difficult to fill the upper dantian.

However, recently, Hongzhi has been able to sense that the Yin attribute natural energy absorbed by the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is decreasing, which is obviously quite normal.

Even with the enhancement of secret techniques, the Eternal Kaleidoscope is still the Eternal Kaleidoscope; it can't be a bottomless pit, and its enhancements are limited.

After waiting a few more days, when the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan stopped absorbing the energy of the secret technique after the transformation, Hiroji felt that the power of his eyes had been strengthened.

Whether it's Kotoamatsukami or Kamui, the cooldown time remains unchanged, but the power has indeed been increased.

This improvement was negligible for Hongzhi, as he didn't fight primarily using the Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

As the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan stopped absorbing energy, the upper dantian was quickly filled with the transformed yin attribute energy.

Then a surge of heat spread directly from his dantian. This familiar feeling surprised Hongzhi, but this was not the time to think about it carefully. He just needed to wait patiently for the transformation.

The transformed Yin-attribute natural energy surged out of the upper dantian, circulated throughout the entire body, and then returned to the upper dantian.
