The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hongzhi attempted to form hand seals. As yin and yang energy surged in, the cracks on the purplish-blue gourd containing the Ten Fist Sword gradually disappeared, and its color changed from the original purplish-blue to the same blue as the surrounding area.

A surge of rich soul energy erupted forth, and the blue gourd containing the Ten-Fist Sword merged directly into the Tai Chi diagram below. It was at this moment that Hongzhi clearly felt a sudden enlightenment, which revealed the complete usage of the blue gourd, also known as the Ten-Fist Sword.

After the enlightenment ended, a blue gourd appeared below the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which meant that the Totsuka Blade had completely become Koji's possession.

The soul energy that the Totsuka Sword had previously unleashed was absorbed by the remaining three items, which then gradually turned blue and, after fully merging into the Taiji diagram, appeared below the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan pattern.

The enlightenment slowly spread, and Hongzhi carefully absorbed the information.

The Totsuka Blade is still the same Totsuka Blade that seals souls, but the sealed souls can be released directly.

The Yata Mirror, which was originally able to withstand physical damage, has now become able to withstand all damage, but requires a corresponding energy supply.

The rosary was originally something in the hands of the Grim Reaper. Its use is simple: to imprison the soul. The higher the strength of the soul, the more energy is required.

As for the final mask, it doesn't have much of a use. Once worn, it allows you to clearly see the soul, and if combined with the Totsuka Sword, it can even directly sever the soul.

"After obtaining the secret arts of the soul, the first to suffer was actually the Grim Reaper."

After understanding this, Hongzhi shook his head helplessly. When the Yin-Yang energy core appeared in the upper dantian, the wounds on the gourd's surface gradually began to heal.

Hongzhi originally thought that the Grim Reaper had been successfully sealed by the Totsuka Blade, but he did not expect that the Grim Reaper would be directly refined in the end.

And it even dropped a powerful artifact.

These items were quite useful for Hongzhi; at least when dealing with Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths, it made it much easier to devour their souls.

After completing his training in the Soul Secret Technique, Hongzhi was about to exit the Soul Space when he suddenly saw a blue fragment of the soul.

The fragment was so small that if Hongzhi hadn't observed it carefully, he probably wouldn't have been able to see it at all.

After throwing the soul fragment into the Tai Chi diagram below, Hongzhi waited patiently. The next second, the methods for using more than a dozen Wind Release ninjutsu gradually flooded into his mind.

"Danzo's Wind Release ninjutsu when he was conducting the experiment?"

Recalling what happened back then, Hongzhi shook his head helplessly. This thing was completely useless, but it also proved the success of the soul technique.

Upon exiting the soul space, Hongzhi discovered that, apart from the Yin-Yang energy core, the entire area around his upper dantian had turned blue, the same color as the soul space he had just left.

After trying it out briefly and finding nothing unusual, Hongzhi stopped paying attention to the condition of his upper dantian.

With the soul-binding secret technique in hand, some plans can now be put on the agenda. For example, once Naruto Uzumaki returns to Konoha, we can release the Three-Tails directly. The Akatsuki organization certainly won't let such an opportunity pass them by.

However, on the other hand, Hiroji still wanted to obtain a part of the Gedo Mazo's body first, so that he could try to directly erase the Gedo Mazo's soul and then directly integrate its power into his body.

If possible, it would be able to directly devour all ten tailed beasts, at which point there would be no possibility of the ten tailed beasts being separated.

However, there's no rush. Hongzhi has already prepared everything, and all that's left is to wait patiently for the ninja world to change.

Hongzhi, who had just emerged from an experiment at Konoha Hospital in the early morning, headed straight for the Hokage's office with the scroll in his hand.

The abilities of the Mangekyou Sharingan have been integrated and absorbed, while the ordinary Sharingan have become Koji's collectibles.

Now that we've got the good stuff, the next step is to give the results to Tsunade. I just don't know if Tsunade will immediately go berserk.

After all, what they've developed this time has no use for Konoha.

Chapter 341 It seems you two get along quite well.

The morning sunlight shone on Tsunade's face. She stared at the scroll in her hand, hesitant to speak, and finally sighed helplessly.

"This is the result of your research?"

Tsunade felt her head buzzing as she read the contents of the scroll. Although it wasn't common knowledge, it had no effect on the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

The only thing that might work is the Mangekyou Sharingan of Itachi Uchiha in the elder's possession. She didn't understand why they had to wait for a specific time to hand over Itachi Uchiha's belongings to Sasuke Uchiha.

Now it seems that it was just helping Sasuke Uchiha's eyes to advance further, right?

"What's the problem?"

Hongzhi asked calmly. This persona had never come into contact with the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan before, and it was already quite impressive that he had managed to research these things. As for what Tsunade was thinking, Hongzhi didn't care.

Having already obtained all the good stuff, there's no need to care about what the people of Konoha think. If they have objections, he might as well take this opportunity to retire completely.

Then there won't be so many problems. Just focus on building up the Tai Chi energy cores in the three dantians, obtain the Sage Techniques of Mount Myōboku, and you might be able to watch the turmoil of the ninja world unfold with a smile.

"No...it's nothing."

Tsunade placed the scroll aside, maintaining her smile. Although she couldn't satisfy the clans that had contributed a small portion of their treasured items, this study of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was still quite thorough.

At least we can now understand why Madara Uchiha's eye power was significantly superior to that of other Uchiha clan members who had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It's the product of the fusion of two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan. Although I haven't seen it in person, Konoha still has a chance to see it now, since Sasuke Uchiha might still return to Konoha.

Wait a minute... Sasuke Uchiha has been gone from the ninja world for a long time, and Obito Uchiha has been gone for just as long.

“If there are no problems, I need to rest for a while. Sakura Haruno is overseeing things at the lab, so there shouldn’t be any issues. I just need to inject the Hashirama stem cells according to the prescribed schedule. She’ll definitely be fine with this.”

Noticing the change in Tsunade's expression, Koji didn't try to figure out what she had suddenly thought of, but instead said that he was going to disappear for a while.

The situation with Sasuke Uchiha should be almost resolved by now, which is about three or four months ago. Even if Itachi Uchiha can't completely transform Sasuke, he should be able to turn him into a qualified elite Jonin.

"You've worked so hard lately, go and get some rest."

Faced with Hongzhi's words, Tsunade could not refuse. The Hashirama stem cell experiment had been successful, and as for the Sharingan experiment with the Uchiha clan, after seeing that they could not gain any benefits, those clans would probably not continue to provide the treasures.

Although Konoha and the Senju clan still retain some of the collection, there is no need to continue this meaningless research.

In fact, Tsunade really wanted to know what the myriad phenomena of the universe were, but the Uchiha clan's stone tablet required the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan to read.

Doesn't that mean that only the Mangekyou Sharingan can combine with the power of the Senju clan to obtain the so-called myriad phenomena of the universe?

As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, Konoha definitely won't use it at this stage. Since that's the case, they might as well take advantage of the benefits brought by Hashirama's stem cells first.

After Tsunade agreed, Hiroji left the Hokage's office. He probably wouldn't be in Konoha for a while, though he would need to leave a shadow clone behind to explain some things to Karin.

This creates the illusion that Hiroji himself is still in Konoha, and that as long as Karin doesn't encounter any accidents, everything is fine in Konoha; even if something does happen, it's not a big deal.

It's simply a matter of leaving Konoha earlier. For Hongzhi, Konoha is truly of no value now, so there's no problem with him being free to come and go.

After Hongzhi left, Tsunade's expression became even more serious. She hadn't thought of it before, but now that she thought about it carefully, it was quite possible.

The chances of Obito Uchiha successfully recruiting Sasuke Uchiha are very high, and Obito most likely knows the truth about the night of the massacre of his clan, as long as he doesn't expose himself.

So Sasuke Uchiha might hold a grudge against Konoha because of this. Even though those elders are gone, would Sasuke Uchiha care about that?

High probability is not.

Back home, Hongzhi left a shadow clone and went straight to the elder's residence. After updating the shadow clone there, Hongzhi's expression became somewhat unnatural. Such an important experiment in Konoha, yet there really was no information revealed to the shadow clone.

"In that case, there seems to be no need for this identity to remain here any longer, saving the two shadow clones from putting on an act..."

Hongzhi withdrew his shadow clone, casually summoned a headband and threw it on the ground. After doing this, Hongzhi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave.

When this matter will be discovered depends mainly on when Tsunade needs to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but this is no longer relevant to Hiroji.

The balance of the ninja world is no longer important; chaos is even better, since the Rinnegan can be activated in two or three years at most anyway.

Inside the base, Itachi Uchiha was watching Sasuke Uchiha train from a distance. When he met Sasuke before, their relationship hadn't been particularly harmonious.

However, the reanimated body and unlimited chakra allowed him to easily persuade Uchiha Sasuke, and in the end, after being beaten up a few times, Uchiha Sasuke gradually began to obey.

Of course, the main reason should be that Uchiha Sasuke discovered the improvement brought about by training.

"It seems you two get along well."

Hongzhi appeared directly not far from Uchiha Itachi.

"What do you want to do with Sasuke?"

Uchiha Itachi asked calmly, clearly still extremely wary of Hongzhi.

"I just wanted to help him awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is quite valuable to collectors."

Hongzhi spoke with a smile, but Uchiha Itachi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this. The process of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan was not particularly pleasant.

"He didn't have any particular ties that he cared about..."

Itachi Uchiha spoke calmly. Based on his understanding of Sasuke Uchiha and his observations over this period, he could basically confirm that Sasuke didn't have anyone he cared about in particular.

“You’re wrong. There’s a bond he cares about very much. What if you told him right now that you wiped out the Uchiha clan so that he could live?”

Hongzhi spoke with a smile, but upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha's expression turned extremely ugly.

Chapter 342 Where You Find the Answer You're Looking For

In the pitch-black base, Itachi Uchiha coldly stared at Hiroji. If it weren't for the Edo Tensei binding him, he would have already attacked.

Sasuke Uchiha only gained his current strength because he wanted revenge. Now, telling him the truth would not only disrupt his previous plans, but also destroy his beliefs over the years.

If you can't figure it out by then, forget about the Mangekyou Sharingan; whether you can even become a ninja is still an unknown.

"I don't think this will awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan."

Uchiha Itachi forced himself to calm down and said, after all, he really didn't have the power to turn the tide now. The so-called divine artifact had long been taken away, and Uchiha Shisui's eyes had also been taken away.

In this situation, all we can do is try to persuade them.

“Some things can only be known after experimentation. Since you think that Uchiha Sasuke won’t awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan because of you, let’s give it a try. If he does, that would be the best. If he doesn’t, then we’ll think of another way.”

Hongzhi spoke calmly, while Itachi's expression beneath his mask turned extremely grim. It seemed there was no way to stop this; he hoped Sasuke wouldn't...

While Itachi was still praying, he saw Hiroji walk directly to Sasuke, who was still refining his chakra, and then kick him to the ground.

It wasn't that Sasuke Uchiha wasn't alert to his surroundings; it was simply that he couldn't sense the natural energy!

After being kicked over, Sasuke Uchiha endured the pain and drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist.

"Who is it!"

Sasuke Uchiha activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, his gaze fixed on Hongzhi. If he hadn't seen the mysterious man standing in the distance, he would have already made his move.

Just as he was preparing to train and improve himself, a mysterious man appeared and beat him up without saying a word. At first, Sasuke Uchiha didn't understand, but after seeing that the man beat him up to demonstrate some ninjutsu and techniques, Sasuke Uchiha slowly understood.

This guy actually wants him to train with him!

At first, Sasuke Uchiha was a little unaccustomed to it, but if he didn't cooperate, he would be subjected to a brand new beating. He tried many ways to escape, but each time he was discovered and brought back directly, which was like a nightmare.

Having no other choice, Sasuke Uchiha could only silently train according to his method. After discovering that his strength was indeed slowly increasing, Sasuke Uchiha gradually accepted the situation.

There's no way around it, mainly because we can't escape.

Suddenly kicked to the ground, he felt that he had made a mistake in his training again. Who would have thought that when he opened his eyes, there was an extra person in the deepest part of the base, which originally only had two people.
