The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

"Prepare for war! This rich land of Konoha must be ours."

Hiroji calmly issued the order. Although the Right Eye's Kotoamatsukami technique could only last for about a day, its cooldown period wasn't enough for a full day...

As long as the influence is applied once a day, Onoki will never recover. It's just a waste of some eye power, nothing more!

"Yes, my lord!"

Onoki left respectfully. After giving his instructions, Hiroji also headed straight for the archives room. The secret techniques of Iwagakure were quite interesting, especially the kind of ninjutsu that could reduce weight and allow one to fly in the sky.

If he could learn it, it would undoubtedly be a huge profit. Just then, Hongzhi suddenly noticed someone running away quickly outside the house.

Hiroji pierced through the wall and saw a figure quickly leaving. It was the future Fourth Tsuchikage, also known as the Leg Shadow.

Hongzhi didn't mind at all. If this matter hadn't been discovered, how could the five great ninja villages have united?

Hongzhi walked off in another direction on his own, while Kurotsuchi, who had just witnessed the unbelievable scene, ran wildly into the distance.

She heard the sounds inside the office, but before she could go in to help, she saw her grandfather through the window, the strongest old man in Iwagakure. She was glared at and then fell to the ground.

This was a nightmare for her!

Chapter 356 A Waste of Time

In the archives of Iwagakure Village, Hiroji looked at the scrolls and felt somewhat speechless. There was no so-called Dust Release scroll, which disappointed him.

As for Onoki's ninjutsu that made him lighter and allowed him to fly, Hiroji understood it at a glance. However, since he didn't have Dust Release, he could only wait for Onoki to return and check his memories.

Onoki's position in Iwagakure was still very stable. Only a dozen minutes had passed, and the entire village of Iwagakure's ninjas had begun to assemble.

However, the so-called leg shadow was very clever. After telling her father about the matter, the two of them came here to investigate.

Unfortunately, since Hongzhi didn't want them to see it, they had no way of seeing it.

Therefore, Huang Tu began to doubt the authenticity of this matter, but there was nothing he could do at this time. He could only pretend to follow Onoki's orders and assemble the Iwagakure ninja forces.

Late at night, Hiroji, who was watching the show from above the Tsuchikage's office building, suddenly noticed a figure precisely avoiding the Iwagakure ninja and then leaving the village.

Hongzhi knew perfectly well that the person was Kurotsuchi, but he wouldn't stop her. Starting a ninja war was just a pretext; the ultimate goal was to get the Akatsuki to collect the tailed beasts. Under such cover, collecting the tailed beasts should be easy!

As for whether Nagato will ultimately be sacrificed or the substitute Obito Uchiha will be sacrificed, that depends on whether Nagato will be persuaded by his words.

"The war has begun. Can Konoha withstand it?!"

Hongzhi casually remarked that almost all the ninjas with Wood Release had died in the previous battles, and the few remaining wouldn't be of much use.

Besides, Jiraiya lost the toads of Mount Myōboku, so it's uncertain whether he can continue using Sage Mode.

While Tsunade's limbs were crippled, although her physical abilities were improved and she awakened a perfect Wood Release bloodline limit, her original fighting style was close combat, and it would take her some time to recover her full strength.

Not to mention learning Wood Release ninjutsu and successfully incorporating it into the combat system; the only problem is that the Hyuga clan's strength has been improved to a certain extent.

However, the Hyuga clan doesn't need Iwagakure to handle this. The Hyuga clan's Byakugan can be combined to form the Tenseigan, and since Hiroji already has the Tenseigan, the next step is undoubtedly to collect the Byakugan.

Anyway, Neji Hyuga's nutrient tank is empty now, it's time to send a few people in, after all, the Byakugan princess's bloodline can't be wasted.

It's impossible for Onoki from Iwagakure to recover unless someone's eye power surpasses Hiroji's, but that's impossible.

At dawn, Hongzhi witnessed a large number of Iwagakure ninja heading towards Konoha. After confirming this, Hongzhi went directly to Konoha's laboratory.

A brand new experiment has begun, and Sakura Haruno is in charge of it. She is quite responsible, but unfortunately, it has no effect.

As for the shadow clones, they were summoned to the Hokage's office. Hongzhi didn't know what had happened, but he could guess some of it.

Jiraiya must have done some research on the Four Symbols Seal. Even if he didn't study it at first, he would have done so after receiving Minato Namikaze's scroll, since it concerned the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the entrustment of his disciple.

Under such circumstances, the speed at which the Four Symbols Seal on Hyuga Neji is broken should increase significantly. In this case, Konoha is very likely to find out about what Hongzhi was just rambling about.

Indeed, that was the case. In the Hokage's office, the shadow clone saw Hyuga Neji with his eyes wrapped in bandages. Even after losing the Tenseigan, his strength had increased compared to before.

He's probably at the elite Jonin level now, since his energy core is still inside the Tenseigan.

"Senju and Uchiha, Kaguya and Hyuga... all things in the universe."

Tsunade frowned, deep in thought about the information brought by Hyuga Neji.

According to Neji Hyuga, he felt a terrifying increase in the power of his eyes, even a sense of omnipotence, but in the end, his eyes were gouged out.

What do you think?!

Tsunade looked at the silent shadow clone beside her and asked calmly. The shadow clone did not answer and simply looked at Hyuga Neji calmly.

After careful observation, Hongzhi slowly spoke: "Since it has already given birth to the myriad phenomena of the universe, its body should have undergone some changes. We only need to extract its blood to make a medicine, and then inject it into the body of a pure-blooded Hyuga clan ninja, and we will know what the so-called myriad phenomena of the universe are."

After the shadow clone finished speaking, he looked at Hyuga Hiashi, who was standing next to Hyuga Neji. Since this involved matters of the Hyuga clan, it was natural for Hyuga Hiashi to be present.

This is a sign of respect for them, after all, they are the largest bloodline limit family in Konoha. If there were any conflicts between them, Konoha would probably destroy itself without the help of other ninja villages.

Hiashi Hyuga's expression was a little off. A pure-blooded Hyuga clan ninja—weren't those his two daughters?

Isn't this a bit too hasty?

But upon closer reflection, it seems that this is indeed the best outcome, and the Hyuga clan does indeed want to know the secrets of the Byakugan, that is, what exactly the so-called myriad phenomena of the universe are.

What do you think?

Tsunade looked at Hiashi Hyuga and said calmly, "The advantages that Konoha has accumulated over the past two and a half years have vanished without a trace with the arrival of that madman, and there has even been a slight setback."

In the current situation, if they could understand the myriad phenomena of the universe and cause the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan to evolve, it would be a huge relief for Konoha.

At least they now have the power to deter other ninja villages, so they won't be oppressed.

"Let's prepare for the experiment. We also want to figure out what Byakugan and Kaguya's so-called 'All Things Under Heaven' really are."

Hiashi Hyuga didn't think too much about it. As long as the Hyuga clan wanted to figure this out, there would definitely be sacrifices. However, if Hijiri was in charge of the experiment, the success rate should be quite high, and at least they wouldn't lose their lives as a result.

Moreover, if successful, the Hyuga clan's strength will undergo a qualitative change, and the position of Hokage can then be given to one of their own. It's somewhat embarrassing, considering that although they are an elder clan of Konoha, they have never had a single person competing for the Hokage position. It's really hard to explain.

"The experiment will begin tomorrow morning."

The shadow clone left those words behind and turned to leave the Hokage's office. Now that the Hyuga clan's experiments were about to begin, it was time to cause some trouble.

First, let Obito Uchiha attack the laboratory, then give the Hyuga clan a huge surprise...

For example, creating the blind Hyuga clan!

Chapter 357: I wonder if there's a chance.

In the laboratory in the early morning, Hiroji looked at Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga in front of him and felt that the Hyuga clan truly deserved to be called geniuses.

Sending two of the purest bloodlines here is quite a clever idea.

Hiroji didn't want to care about the Hyuga clan's thoughts, but since he had brought the two of them over, he could just take them away.

Of course, we still need to be careful. At the very least, we can't let the fact that the lab was attacked be exposed before we've collected enough Byakugan.

The blood of Hyuga Neji had already been extracted, and Hiroji coldly watched the two somewhat uneasy people.

Although somewhat apprehensive, the two were certainly mentally prepared. After obediently removing a large amount of clothing, Hinata watched as the vial of blood was injected directly into her body.

At first, she didn't feel anything, but as time went by, she felt a burning sensation that gradually spread from her right arm to her entire body.

At the same time, she felt a stinging pain in her eyes. If she hadn't already entered the nutrient tank according to the rules, she might have even thought about gouging her eyes out.

Hinata Hyuga's last glimpse was of Hanabi Hyuga slowly entering the nutrient tank opposite her.

Her vision went dark, the burning sensation gradually disappeared, but she could no longer feel anything.

"I can rest assured, Hyuga clan."

Seeing the two Hyuga sisters submerged in the nutrient tank, Hiroji shook his head helplessly, feeling a little sorry for them.

If Naruto Uzumaki understood Hinata Hyuga's feelings and saw her soaking there in only her underwear, would Kurama go berserk?

This was something Hongzhi wanted to research, but unfortunately, plans couldn't keep up with changes. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's growth was too slow, so they could only hope that the Sage of Six Paths would step in and help them obtain the power to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

If it were a matter of nurturing, Hongzhi would definitely not have nurtured him, but he could have forced him to grow too quickly.

As for whether or not Kaguya Otsutsuki could be sealed in the end, Hongzhi didn't care much. After awakening the Rinnegan, Hongzhi didn't think he would be suppressed by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

As for the Hyuga clan, they will inevitably have to pay a price for such trust, but unfortunately, they cannot collect the two purest Byakugan for the time being.

However, compared to the Tenseigan that was gained later, it was definitely a huge win.

The laboratory door slowly opened, and Tsunade and Hiashi Hyuga walked in. Hiashi Hyuga looked at the state of her two daughters and subconsciously glanced at Hiroji.

He hoped to see a different kind of look, which would mean that the Hyuga clan could completely win over this coveted woman, and that even if she were to marry, the elders would readily agree.

Forget about ancestral rules; when it comes to profit, everything else is nonsense.

However, to Hiashi Hyuga's disappointment, even in the face of such a situation, the so-called demon in front of him still had no idea whatsoever.

He even began to wonder if the person in front of him had no interest in the opposite sex at all!

"What's the situation?!"

Tsunade looked at Hinata and Hanabi with a hint of expectation in her eyes. After observing them for a few days, she had figured it out.

Hiroji initially wanted an assistant simply because he didn't want to be responsible for those repetitive experiments, which is why Sakura Haruno is now exceptionally busy.

However, she had nothing to be sad about. Although Sakura Haruno had become a tool, Karin had become her apprentice, which was a good thing.

Unfortunately, Karin sacrificed herself, and the situation in Konoha is still not good. If they could research the Myriad Manifestations of the World and improve the strength of the Hyuga clan, that would be the best outcome.

It would be even better if we could resolve Hongzhi's personal issues. Although this would lead to an increase in the power of the Hyuga clan, it would also make the Hyuga clan staunch supporters. At the very least, those who gain power will not have any ulterior motives like the Uchiha clan.

However, it seems her little scheme didn't work out. I wonder if the experiment will yield more optimistic results.

"The situation is still quite good. At least there is no severe rejection reaction, and there is indeed new chakra gathering towards the eyes."

Hongzhi casually remarked that these were the results of observing Hyuga Neji. As for Hyuga Hinata and Hyuga Hanabi, without Hongzhi's help, it would still take a long time for them to generate new chakra.

"Hopefully, it will turn out well."

Tsunade nodded. After receiving a definite answer, she left immediately. With the situation in Konoha so complicated, the Hokage certainly didn't have time to rest.

Hiashi Hyuga, however, remained in the laboratory. After Tsunade had gone far away, he looked at Hinata in the nutrient tank with a determined look in his eyes.

The elders had approached him many times, and he did indeed share this idea; now was the perfect time to test Hongzhi's attitude.

With this thought in mind, Hiashi Hyuga looked at Hijiri calmly and asked, "Hiroji, what do you think of my daughter Hinata?"

Hiroji, who was already preparing to take direct action against Hiashi Hyuga, was stunned when he suddenly heard these words. After thinking for a moment, Hiroji understood Hiashi Hyuga's idea: Hiashi wanted to recruit him!

"It's beautiful, but I don't know if I'll ever have the chance..."
