The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Now, this simple Thunder Spear and chair allow Hongzhi to appreciate the ruined battlefield while also absorbing and storing some natural energy.

In other words, Hongzhi not only didn't suffer any losses, but he could even gradually become stronger. After all, the more natural energy he absorbed, the more he could use in battle.

"The night in Konoha is still so beautiful!"

Hongzhi looked up at the newly appeared moon and stars, a slight smile playing on his lips. Kakashi, who had been on high alert, looked extremely grim. He wanted to do something, but couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

Might Guy, standing to the side, was also frowning in thought. The battle had just begun, and it was already clear that close-range combat would not end well for taijutsu ninjas. Furthermore, it would take some time to prepare for unleashing the Eight Gates.

It was as if that person had eyes in the back of his head; whenever a Konoha ninja was about to unleash a ninjutsu, he would pin them to the ground, and those ninjas pinned to the ground were basically killed instantly.

"Can you find a flaw?"

Kakashi stepped back a few paces to the edge of the area, looking solemnly at Hiashi Hyuga, who had activated his Byakugan.

The Hyuga clan excels in taijutsu (physical combat), but in this kind of battle, they have no chance to fight back, so they can only play a supporting role here.

"His whole body is full of flaws, but if you combine that terrifying ninjutsu and sensory ability, there are no flaws at all."

Hiashi Hyuga also spoke with bitterness. He had thought that the Hyuga clan could do something here, but in the end they were just watching from the sidelines, which was really hard to accept.

"Where did the elder go?!"

After receiving the expected answer, Kakashi was somewhat troubled. There was no doubt that this person had become much stronger than last time, but unfortunately, the elder was not present at this moment.

If they were there, they could at least keep the elder in check. Besides, who knows what the elder's true strength really is!

In Konoha Hospital, Yamanaka Inoichi suddenly opened his eyes in his ward. The scene in his memory was still the one after he used the Mind Transfer Technique. A black and white disc crushed his spirit, and then he lost consciousness.

To my surprise, when I opened my eyes again, I saw the ceiling of Konoha Hospital. It seems that Konoha has won this time!

As Yamanaka Inoichi breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with his surroundings. Nara Shikaku, with bandages wrapped around his head, sat there silently, and on the bed next to him was Akimichi Choza, who was usually quiet and reserved.

"How is the situation?!"

Having noticed this, Yamanaka Inoichi clearly understood that the matter was probably not over yet; if it were, the two of them wouldn't be looking so worried.

"The Hokage has been imprisoned."

Nara Shikaku slowly raised his head, and with his panicked expression, the answer flooded into Yamanaka Inoichi's mind.

"All of Konoha's new generation of ninjas have withdrawn from the battlefield and entered shelters. I just don't know if that guy will let them go..."

Nara Shikaku's voice continued. He was not mentally injured and recovered immediately after receiving treatment from Hiroji. It was a decision he made with Kudo Yuya to let all the hope enter the shelter.

This is to prevent that guy from killing all those people while he's destroying Konoha.

"Is there really no way to break this deadlock?"

Yamanaka Inoichi asked in silence, "The fact that Nara Shikaku made such a decision speaks volumes about the current situation."

"Yes... if the elder can return within three days, there is still hope."

Nara Shikaku spoke heavily, but the elder's disappearance itself was suspicious, and whether he would return was still unknown.

Above Konoha Hospital, the shadow clone silently watched the Thunder Chair radiating light in the night. The Holy Healing Fire was very effective; there was no need for any so-called wound treatment—a simple burn was enough to resolve the problem.

It seems that the Chaos Storm is quite effective now; the improvement after the Yin and Yang are combined is still significant. It's just unclear how to end this situation.

However, this is not something the shadow clone should be thinking about.

"Can I help?"

As the shadow clone gazed into the distance, Karin's voice came from behind. Upon hearing that Tsunade had been pinned to the ground, she was ready to take action, since Tsunade had treated her quite well.

"Go."

The shadow clone smiled slightly, then continued to admire the scenery. Upon hearing this, Karin jumped off the roof of Konoha Hospital and ran straight towards the battlefield.

Outside the battlefield of Konoha Village, there were no wounded soldiers, not including Tsunade who was imprisoned. The Konoha ninjas were still eyeing Hongzhi with predatory intent. Just now, three more ninjas had been pinned to the ground.

One of them was someone Hiroji was quite familiar with; he was originally a skilled henchman of Danzo, Aburame Torune, a guy who played with poisonous insects.

Although the poisonous insects were easily overlooked due to the darkness and their colors, Hongzhi could clearly sense them. He was hiding behind a tree, preparing to release the insects, when he was pinned to the ground. If the insects hadn't mitigated some of the damage, he would have died there.

Just then, a familiar chakra emanated from him. Hongzhi slowly raised his head and saw Karin walking slowly out of the Konoha gate towards him.

Karin, who was close to the battlefield, suddenly froze. She looked at Hiroji sitting there with a blank look in her eyes. She could not sense any chakra. There was only one person like this, and that was her benefactor who had returned after leaving!

Recalling her conversation with Hiroji, Karin's lips twitched. She then slowly approached a ninja who had been pierced by the Thunder Spear but was still alive, and helped stabilize his injuries.

Upon seeing this, Hongzhi reverted to his original form, indicating that his identity as a medical ninja could continue.

Time slowly passed, and three more hours went by. Tsunade had fully regained consciousness, but the chakra stored in her Yin Seal could only barely maintain her current appearance.

With difficulty, she turned her head to look at the mysterious person sitting there. Tsunade knew clearly that she had lost this battle, or rather, the entire Hidden Leaf Village had lost miserably.

If he wanted to take direct action, the entire Hidden Leaf Village might already be history.

"What...why did you come here?!"

Tsunade's hoarse voice surprised Hiroji; he hadn't expected her to speak under such circumstances!

"Of course it's to fight that Flying Thunder God ninja from back then. Do you really think it's just to watch you dance? Don't you know your own age..."

Chapter 351 What a pointless battle!

Hearing such blunt words, Tsunade was momentarily at a loss for words. So, Konoha sacrificed so many ninjas just to find that elder who had already left?

"He has completely left Konoha and probably won't be coming back."

After a brief period of hesitation, Tsunade decided to tell the truth: this resistance against Konoha was a complete failure.

Whether it can be preserved depends entirely on the other person's mood. In that case, it would be better to just tell the truth. Perhaps then he would leave directly, and Konoha would still have a chance to survive.

After Tsunade finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent for a moment. Even Kakashi, who was originally extremely anxious, forgot to think after receiving this information.

The strongest elder in Konoha, and the one with the best chance to turn the tide, has already left Konoha and will never return!

Doesn't this mean Konoha has lost a protective umbrella?

No, this is no longer about the protective umbrella; the elders' departure directly led to Konoha's current situation.

This is essentially like uprooting Konoha, a giant tree in itself. If another crisis were to occur after this, Konoha might truly disappear completely.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that there is no future left. If this person wants to continue, Konoha will be destroyed today.

"I see... no wonder it hasn't appeared yet."

Hongzhi slowly stood up from the Thunder Chair, his gaze calmly fixed on Tsunade, who was pinned to the ground. Because her body was still trying to heal her wounds, her chakra was being slowly depleted.

Her once attractive face has begun to age slowly, and perhaps in a few more minutes she will become a real old woman.

"What a disappointment."

As Hongzhi spoke calmly, he kicked the Thunder Cage that imprisoned Tsunade. Tsunade, who was still on the ground, suddenly felt a violent tremor, and the surrounding ground began to crack, gradually revealing the full appearance of the Thunder Cage.

Before she could even see clearly, she felt the surrounding scenery changing rapidly, and then the Thunder Spear, which had been fixed in place by her limbs, began to get scorching hot!

The Thunder Cage was kicked directly from outside the gates of Konoha into the sky above Konoha. A red light appeared, and the lightning exploded. After everything was over, Tsunade, with only her torso and head remaining, fell heavily from the sky. She was unconscious, or rather, on the verge of death.

At that moment, an eagle made of ink caught her and carried her toward Konoha Hospital.

"cut!"

Noticing this, Hongzhi snorted coldly, then looked at the many ninjas who wanted to launch an attack. The lightning spears and lightning chairs that had been pinning down the Konoha ninjas began to glow.

Then came a blinding light and a deafening explosion. When the smoke cleared, the ninjas in the vicinity had suffered heavy losses.

Kakashi was thrown far away by the explosion. He stared blankly at the huge crater that had appeared, and looked around to find that many ANBU and ninjas had been killed instantly.

Suddenly Kakashi stopped. Not far to his left was a half-tattered red coat, and the pattern on the coat was the Uzumaki clan crest.

"Karin?!"

Upon seeing this, Kakashi felt a sudden darkness engulf him, followed by a feeling of weightlessness, and his vision was plunged into darkness.

"What a pointless battle."

Having witnessed all of this, the shadow clone shook his head helplessly, then turned and walked directly towards the operating room, knowing he was in for a busy time.

……

In the Kamui Space, inside a crystal house, Karin huddled in a corner, still shaken. When she noticed the lightning spears around her starting to glow, she prepared to dodge, but before she could react, she fainted.

When he woke up again, he was in this mysterious room. However, what surprised him was that his coat and headband were gone, but otherwise he was fine.

"Where am I?!"

Karin was somewhat composed. She was certain that this was a room, but the problem was that the room had no door!

This made Karin feel a little uncomfortable; what kind of situation was a room without a door?

While she was still thinking, a dark vortex appeared in the center of the house, and the next second a large amount of women's clothing fell directly out of the vortex.

Karin, who had been suddenly pinned down by the clothes, struggled to crawl out.

She was still confused, but she still chose a coat and put it on.

After doing all this, Karin discovered that a door had appeared out of the wall. Pushing the door open and stepping out of the room, Karin saw a dreamlike kingdom made of blue crystal.

And there was Hongzhi, sitting in a chair with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"You, with your Thousand Hands and Whirlpool, Wood Release and Adamantine Chains, couldn't even dodge a tiny explosion."

Hiroji calmly looked at Karin. If he hadn't noticed her arrival, this guy who hadn't betrayed anyone would have been blown to bits by now!

Even so, she was still left partially paralyzed by the blast. If it weren't for the rapid healing speed of the Holy Healing Fire, she would probably have suffered some damage.

"Where am I?!"

Karin seemed not to have heard Hiroji's words, and simply looked around curiously.

"This is my home, of course it has nothing to do with you."

Hiroji spoke casually, and Karin, upon hearing this, felt somewhat surprised. What kind of answer was that?

However, before she could react, she felt a sudden dizziness. After everything was over, Karin found that her surroundings were clearly different from what she had observed.

Of the original several houses, only two remain, and the remaining one is the house she had just come from.

"This is where you will live from now on. This is my reward for keeping your secret."

Hongzhi's voice came from behind. Karin subconsciously turned around and saw a scroll flying towards her. At the same time, an unimaginable stinging pain came from her shoulder.

"This is a cursed seal developed by Orochimaru. If you can fully absorb the power within the scroll, you can become a true Slug Sage and gain eternal life."
