The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hongzhi spoke casually, then looked at the White Snake Immortal who seemed to think the crisis was over.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan quietly appeared, and the originally lazy White Snake Sage's eyes transformed into the appearance of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

A moment later, the White Snake Immortal's abnormality gradually disappeared, but this did not mean that it had escaped control; rather, it meant that it had been completely controlled by Kotoamatsukami.

Although the cooldown of the left eye's Kotoamatsukami hasn't ended yet, the right eye's Kotoamatsukami has been strengthened time and again, so controlling the White Snake Sage is still not a problem.

Although they are called sages, they are still a bit inferior to tailed beasts. At least tailed beasts do not die immediately after being killed.

"If we kill it, it will be quite difficult to activate Sage Mode later."

Orochimaru spoke calmly. The reason he had been so kind to the White Snake Sage earlier was not only because he was grateful for learning Sage Mode, but also because he needed the White Snake Sage's venom to activate Sage Mode after it was exhausted.

"Isn't your favorite thing to do research? Why don't you just figure out venom, and then use it to create a brand new curse mark to gradually change your body?"

As Hongzhi casually remarked, Orochimaru, who was able to use cursed seals to cultivate a bizarre quartet, could do this quite easily.

When Hongzhi was building the system, he also used a lot of knowledge about incantations and seals; otherwise, how could the converter be completely engraved into the body?

Different powers require curse seals to seal them, but the same power can be perfectly absorbed directly. This is Orochimaru's curse seal, which is also the source of Hongzhi's initial inspiration.

"That's a great idea, I can give it a try."

Orochimaru's eyes began to shine. This was just the beginning. If he could undergo another transformation after completely absorbing Hashirama's cells once the cursed seal was fully absorbed, he might become the only White Snake Sage.

Eternal life will then be within reach, after all, the White Snake Immortal lived for a very long time.

That way he would have enough time to study the ninjutsu of the entire ninja world.

Chapter 319 Do you think he can win?

Hongzhi didn't speak, but instead sent the scroll from Ryuchi Cave into the Divine Might Space, and then sat down in the original spot where the White Snake Immortal had been.

"Sage Art: Wood Release - Descent of the Flower Tree Realm!"

Orochimaru stared in astonishment at Hiroji sitting there. He really didn't understand how this guy named Uchiha Obito could use such terrifying Wood Release, and it was even Sage Art Wood Release.

The Uchiha who possessed the power of Hashirama Senju?

Thinking of this, Orochimaru shook his head helplessly. If that were really the case, he wouldn't want to leave Ryuchi Cave. The ninja world was too dangerous, and Ryuchi Cave, which was basically isolated from the world, was much better.

Trees sprouted from the ground, but Orochimaru stood still without reacting. The trees deliberately avoided him and then spread rapidly outwards.

Turning around, Orochimaru clearly sensed that the three venomous snakes that had been lingering in the same spot and glancing over here from time to time were now encased in trees. Although they hadn't died immediately, being hung on the trees by Wood Release techniques meant they were unlikely to survive.

The commotion outside continued. After a while, Orochimaru suddenly realized something and instinctively turned to look in the direction where Hongzhi was.

Just now, his contracted summoned beast, Wan She, died instantly. It's no surprise that it was killed by this immortal technique.

"If you succeed, there will be no need to use a summoning beast. If you fail, the White Snake Sage will be your new summoning beast..."

Noticing Orochimaru's gaze, Hongzhi casually offered an explanation, then directly summoned Uchiha Itachi.

Orochimaru's lips twitched, but he didn't refute the matter. However, the appearance of the reanimated ninja was somewhat unexpected for Orochimaru.

As the coffin opened, Itachi Uchiha regained consciousness. Orochimaru's lips twitched involuntarily. He had been somewhat incredulous when he first heard that Itachi Uchiha had died, but he never expected to see the resurrected Itachi Uchiha so soon.

"Long time no see, Itachi."

Orochimaru greeted him calmly. He had once wanted Itachi Uchiha's eyes and body, but after finding the situation somewhat troublesome, he changed his target to Sasuke Uchiha.

As a result, Kabuto Yakushi disappeared, and his weakened state gradually affected his relationship with Sasuke Uchiha.

However, after obtaining Wood Release and Sage Mode, Orochimaru was no longer so obsessed with these things. What was his purpose in obtaining the bodies of Itachi and Sasuke?

It's not that I lack the talent to explore the mysteries of the ninja world. Now that there's an easier way, there's no need to take the risk.

Moreover, Sasuke Uchiha was clearly already being manipulated by this Obito Uchiha, so there was no need for him to meddle.

"You...you are Orochimaru!"

Itachi Uchiha's eyes suddenly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan. If Sasuke Uchiha had a chance to fight back when he encountered Orochimaru before, Orochimaru now toyed with Sasuke Uchiha to death several times over without even taking a breath.

What exactly happened to cause this situation? How could Orochimaru's power be so terrifying? Having lost the Totsuka Blade, the Yata Mirror, and Kotoamatsukami, it's not even certain that he can safely contend with the current Orochimaru.

"Don't get so agitated, I've lost interest in Uchiha Sasuke."

Although it's unclear why Itachi Uchiha suddenly became so agitated, if there's any connection between him and Itachi Uchiha, it's only with Sasuke Uchiha.

As for the Akatsuki organization, the reason why there was no direct fighting within that organization was because Pain's power was too terrifying and could suppress everyone.

"oh?!"

Uchiha Itachi remained noncommittal. Although he didn't know why Orochimaru had become like this, or why he had appeared in front of Orochimaru, he was still extremely wary of Orochimaru.

When Sasuke Uchiha went to find Orochimaru, he would have gone to check on him long ago if he could find Orochimaru's location.

"The person who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan cares most about his younger brother who lost everything in an incident and has been deceived all along. I'm suddenly looking forward to seeing his expression when he finds out the truth."

Hongzhi's calm voice slowly came over. He was quite curious about this, since it concerned whether Uchiha Sasuke could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. If not, perhaps Uchiha Sasuke would have to kill Uzumaki Naruto by stabbing him to death.

Once this guy awakens his Sharingan, then they can revive Naruto Uzumaki, who still has a chance to be saved. As for Sakura Haruno, Hiroji feels that killing Sasuke Uchiha might cause her to develop her three-tomoe Sharingan due to emotional excitement.

"It's you!"

Turning to look at Hongzhi, Itachi Uchiha's expression darkened. Wasn't this guy a Root ninja from Konoha? How come he was with Orochimaru?

Could it be that Orochimaru had been in contact with Danzo all along, even after his defection...?

Itachi Uchiha thought this way, but he quickly rejected the idea himself. If Orochimaru was still doing what was best for Konoha, then there was no need to join forces with Sunagakure to launch the so-called Konoha Crush Plan.

Even if Danzo wanted to use this opportunity to become Hokage, how could someone who was loyal to Konoha agree to take down the Hokage?

"Nonsense, who else would I be? But the reason I called you out this time isn't about Uchiha Sasuke. You should know how to make soup, right?"

Hongzhi asked curiously, "Although it would be easy to kidnap a cook in the ninja world, it would still be a bit troublesome. If Uchiha Itachi's cooking skills are good, we could definitely make use of him."

Itachi Uchiha's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He stood there without saying a word. Although he had been threatened many times because of Sasuke Uchiha, he would never do something like making soup.

"Uchiha Sasuke is about to encounter Deidara and Sasori. Do you think he can win?"

Seeing that Uchiha Itachi didn't speak, Hongzhi casually said something. Orochimaru, who heard this, was confused. Could it be that this would make Uchiha Itachi just be made into soup?

Isn't this a bit too frivolous? This guy is a ruthless killer, how could he be made into soup? This doesn't fit his character at all!

"If you had cooked it earlier, we might have been able to go and see what happened. At least Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't have died then..."

As Orochimaru looked on in confusion, Hongzhi continued to speak. Uchiha Itachi, who had been standing still, slowly raised his head, his face full of reluctance, but he finally said, "What are you stewing?!"

Even knowing that Orochimaru had drunk snake soup, he still found it hard to believe. Putting aside whether it tasted good or not, the fact that the famous Uchiha Itachi would make soup for his younger brother made him feel like something was wrong with the world.

Chapter 320 It's broken!

In the Land of Birds, in a forest, Deidara and Sasori are slowly advancing. In the last battle, Sasori lost the important Third Kazekage puppet.

So he went straight to finding a completely new replacement. This was the first time he and Deidara carried out a mission for the Akatsuki after finding a replacement.

Because the attempt to capture the Three-Tails failed, the Akatsuki's missions reverted to those unchallenging tasks, but this had nothing to do with the two of them.

Both of them were pursuing art, not a task.

"Brother Sasori, do you think Orochimaru was really scared away by that blond kid Sasuke Uchiha?"

Deidara asked curiously, as if the news was being spread like wildfire, and people were discussing it everywhere he went.

"I don't know. We'll have to see Uchiha Sasuke to be sure. If he has Kage-level strength, it's very possible, since Orochimaru's forbidden techniques have certain flaws."

Sasori spoke calmly. As Orochimaru's former partner, the two had cooperated before, so he knew some information about the other party.

"If that's not the case, why doesn't Orochimaru come out and prove it?"

Deidara continued to ask questions, somewhat bewildered. If anyone questioned his abilities, he would certainly make that person understand what art truly meant.

"He has his own pursuits, and fame is of no use to him, so he naturally doesn't care about it much."

Scorpion spoke calmly, then directly manipulated the puppet to raise its head and look ahead.

At the same time, Deidara also looked in the same direction and saw three figures standing quietly in the middle of the road in the distance, as if they had been waiting for them all along.

"It seems you can ask him yourself whether he personally spread the message."

Sasori glanced at Deidara beside him. He could clearly sense that Sasuke Uchiha's strength was only at the level of a Jonin.

With that kind of strength, trying to force Orochimaru out is probably like someone who's still half asleep.

It can only be said that Orochimaru suddenly discovered something, or that some accident occurred, which is why he disappeared.

As for being scared away by him, that's impossible, unless this guy has eyes like Itachi Uchiha.

"He looks a bit weak! He doesn't seem like someone who could scare Orochimaru away, but it seems like he's coming for us."

Deidara spoke calmly, feeling that Sasuke Uchiha's strength was unlikely to scare Orochimaru away.

Although he never actually fought Orochimaru, someone who could be called one of the Legendary Sannin was certainly not at the level of an elite Jonin.

He should at least be at the Kage level, not to mention that Orochimaru was apparently the strongest of the original Sannin.

"Let's go take a look. If all else fails, spare his life for the sake of Itachi."

Scorpion spoke calmly, saying that although Itachi Uchiha was dead, he still had a good number of followers in the Akatsuki organization, mainly because he was strong enough, but he didn't participate in communication most of the time.

In an environment like Akatsuki, Itachi naturally stands out. Compared to those who might fight if they met, Itachi was easier to communicate with.

Deidara nodded. He still wanted to prove his art to Itachi Uchiha, but Itachi Uchiha was already dead, and as for Sasuke Uchiha now, frankly speaking, he was somewhat weak.

On the other side, Suigetsu, Jugo, and Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing in the very center, coldly watched Deidara and Sasori slowly approaching from the opposite side.

Uchiha Itachi was a member of the Akatsuki organization. Although they couldn't find him directly, searching for members of the Akatsuki organization made them a much bigger target. As for whether they could obtain information about Uchiha Itachi, they would only know after they found him.

"You guys stay on the sidelines to prevent them from escaping."

As Sasuke Uchiha watched the two slowly approaching, his eyes instantly transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan, and the power of the cursed seal appeared on his body, turning him from a handsome young man into a monster.

In the distant woods, space seemed to spin, and Hongzhi slowly appeared there with Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru.

Since he had promised Itachi Uchiha, he naturally had to keep his word. However, Itachi Uchiha's expression was not particularly good when he saw Sasuke Uchiha.

"I thought he had some special ability, but I didn't expect him to be using my own power!"

Orochimaru's lips twitched as he watched Sasuke Uchiha charge towards Deidara and Sasori, having directly entered the second stage of the Cursed Seal.

"If we exclude the cursed seal, he is currently at the level of an ordinary Jonin, no, to be precise, the level of an Uchiha clan Jonin."

As Hongzhi spoke casually, Uchiha Itachi remained silent, but his expression and clenched fists proved that he was not calm at the moment, and could even be described as extremely angry!
