The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hongzhi answered with a smile, and blue butterflies gathered around him, fluttering throughout the laboratory.

Hiashi Hyuga didn't notice anything wrong, and his eyes gradually brightened. If both sides were willing, that would be great. It's just a little unfair to Hinata, as she seems to have someone she likes. But it's not a big problem, and there hasn't been any substantial progress yet!

Hiashi Hyuga pondered this, then continued discussing with Hiroji, subtly revealing the concessions the Hyuga clan could offer and their expectations for the matter.

In the laboratory, Hongzhi gently placed the white eye he had just removed into a nutrient bottle, and then calmly used the Holy Healing Fire to treat his wound.

"After the experiment is over, I will be waiting for your arrival in the Hyuga clan's territory."

Hiashi Hyuga spoke calmly. He was currently in the illusory world that Hijiri had created for him. This would consume Hijiri's natural energy at all times, but the consumption was negligible.

A blue butterfly was engraved on his forehead. This was something Hongzhi had just researched, combining illusion techniques with a curse seal. The curse seal could absorb natural energy to replenish itself, thus ensuring that the person affected would be forever immersed in the illusion.

The most terrifying thing is that the butterfly curse mark can be contagious. Anyone who sees the butterfly will be controlled by the illusion. Hongzhi only needs a little bit of natural energy and eye power to make those controlled by the illusion also have the beautiful butterfly curse mark.

At that time, everything they see will be controlled by Hiroji. It may seem complicated, but it is actually quite simple. After all, this illusion is basically synchronized with reality. The only difference is the eyes of Hyuga Hiashi.

This is why the consumption was so small, but it greatly helped Hongzhi's next steps.

After sending several shadow clones with Hiashi Hyuga to spread the Butterfly Curse Seal, Hiroji walked directly out of the laboratory.

After having the idle Haruno Sakura from next door come and keep an eye on things, Hiroji went straight home.

Hongzhi, dressed as Uchiha Obito, slowly landed on the rooftop of Konoha Hospital.

"I just don't know if I'll ever have the chance to admire that magnificent Tenseigan."

Watching Hiashi Hyuga's retreating figure, Hiroji's lips curled slightly beneath the mask.

Chapter 358 The Despicable Uchiha Obito

In the laboratory, Sakura Haruno looked at Hinata Hyuga in the nutrient tank, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused. About five minutes later, she looked down at herself.

An awkward smile appeared on her face. Sakura Haruno turned to look at Hanabi Hyuga in another nutrient tank. After a careful comparison, she sat down on a chair with a slumped expression.

"The Hyuga clan has really good genes!"

Sakura Haruno casually remarked, then suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did Hinata Hyuga's figure seem somewhat illusory?

Sakura rubbed her eyes, then gradually approached the nutrient tank. Just as she was about to observe it closely, her hand, which was instinctively about to place on the glass of the nutrient tank, passed right through it...

The sudden loss of her footing caused Sakura Haruno's expression to gradually change from confusion to horror. She instinctively tried to steady herself, but before she could prepare, she fell to the ground.

"A different posture..."

In the laboratory, Hiroji quietly watched Sakura Haruno lying on the ground. Under the influence of the illusion, the nutrient tank she saw was definitely an illusion.

However, Hiroji won't take direct action now. Sakura Haruno, who has discovered that both nutrient tanks are not functioning properly, will inevitably report to Tsunade. At that time, Hiroji will be able to take the entire laboratory away.

As for whether Konoha will notice anything unusual, that's for sure, since it would be pointless if it weren't discovered.

Sakura Haruno got up and checked several times carefully. When she found that Hinata Hyuga's nutrient tank had indeed disappeared without a trace, her face turned extremely ugly.

She quickly checked Hinata Hanabi's nutrient tank and got the same result.

Upon realizing something was wrong, Sakura Haruno immediately left the laboratory; she needed to inform the Hokage about this.

Upon seeing Sakura Haruno leave, Hiroji unleashed his divine power from his right eye, instantly transferring everything within the entire laboratory.

In an empty room in the Kamui Space, various instruments began to appear, and finally, Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi Hyuga lay asleep.

After transferring all these items, Hongzhi had his shadow clone handle the subsequent energy connection, while he himself returned directly to Konoha.

……

On his way home, Hiashi encountered quite a few ninjas. His ten shadow clones gradually increased to fifty, and after entering the Hyuga clan's territory, they increased to several hundred, or even more.

Hongzhi quietly watched the busy shadow clones. Judging from his perception, the entire Konoha would probably be completely imprinted with the Butterfly Curse Seal by tomorrow morning.

That's enough. While it's possible that this could spread throughout the entire ninja world, it's not really necessary for Hongzhi, since there's no fun in that.

The true strength of the Blind Hyuga clan still needs to be tested by the Iwagakure ninjas. I imagine the Iwagakure ninjas would be extremely shocked to see them.

The Butterfly Curse Seal is spreading, and within the Hyuga clan's territory, numerous shadow clones are busy at work. The main family members only need to plant the Butterfly Curse Seal and then gouge out the eyes, but the branch family members still need to help them release the Caged Birds.

Most interestingly, while Hiashi Hyuga was recounting the laboratory exchange to several elders, three shadow clones were taking away their Byakugan.

Sakura Haruno rushed to the Hokage's office and, upon opening the door, found it completely empty.

Meanwhile, Tsunade and Jiraiya, who were discussing something, looked at Sakura Haruno, who had just opened the door, with confusion in their eyes.

"What's wrong, Sakura?"

Tsunade asked calmly. She had just heard the report from the Anbu that Hiroji had left the laboratory and had Sakura Haruno keep watch there.

But Sakura Haruno's arrival here at this moment means that something has changed, and that the experiment has gone wrong.

Shouldn't we go directly to Hongzhi?

As Tsunade and Jiraiya both looked towards the door, Sakura Haruno immediately closed the door to the Hokage's office and hurriedly left.

Something's not right.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya instinctively frowned. Such behavior was too abnormal; any normal person would be suspicious.

"Illusion?!"

Tsunade spoke with some suspicion. She knew Sakura Haruno quite well; although she had some minor flaws, she would never do such a thing.

"possible."

Jiraiya nodded and then followed Sakura Haruno throughout the morning. He wanted to see what Sakura had gone through. Tsunade was also on high alert, because the ninja who could use such a genjutsu was definitely not an ordinary person.

It could even be Obito Uchiha, that demon lurking in the shadows.

Sakura Haruno frantically ran back to where she had been. She desperately wanted to find the Hokage; the matter in the laboratory was very important, and she had to let the Hokage know!

After running a few hundred meters from the Hokage's office, Sakura Haruno suddenly stopped. She noticed something unusual: Konoha was far too quiet; there wasn't a single person on the streets...

"An illusion?!"

Sakura Haruno, who had stopped, stared blankly at her hands, completely unaware of what had happened.

However, as a qualified ninja, she knew how to break genjutsu. Disrupting her own chakra was the best way to break free from genjutsu. If that didn't work, she could only wait for her comrades' help.

This is Konoha, someone is bound to notice something is wrong!

While her chakra was in disarray, Sakura Haruno silently thought to herself. A moment later, the scene around her became blurry. Sakura Haruno saw the ANBU ninjas surrounding her, as well as Tsunade and Jiraiya not far from her.

"what happened?"

Sakura Haruno, now fully conscious, stared blankly at the clearly hostile Hokage, completely unaware of what had happened.

Suddenly she felt her hands were wet, and a metallic smell entered her nostrils, causing Sakura Haruno to frown instinctively.

"That damned Uchiha Obito!"

Just then, Tsunade's angry voice rang out, and Sakura Haruno looked blankly toward the source of the smell.

Two corpses with their chests pierced came into view. Looking at the clothes on their bodies, Sakura Haruno's expression changed from confusion to terror...

Their clothes were exactly the same as her parents', and they looked exactly the same.

"what……"

After a painful howl, Sakura Haruno collapsed to the ground, her eyes losing focus.

……

The laboratory door was pushed open, and Tsunade and Jiraiya stared at the empty room, feeling a sudden darkness engulf them.

Not only Hinata and Hanabi, but even the experimental equipment was taken away.

"That damned Uchiha Obito!"

Looking at the empty laboratory, Tsunade could only utter these words.

Use Sakura Haruno to distract her, then take the opportunity to steal everything from the entire laboratory.

If we calculate it this way, it's likely that Hyuga Neji was released to address the current situation, while Haruno Sakura was the sacrifice.

Chapter 359 No need to mind

In a ward at Konoha Hospital, Tsunade calmly looked at Sakura Haruno, who had fallen into a coma. After she left the Hokage's office, Jiraiya followed her, and the Anbu also began to take action.

However, they lost track of Sakura Haruno, and when they found her again, she was already at her doorstep.

Just when Tsunade thought nothing would happen, Sakura's parents came out of the room. They looked at Sakura gently, but what they received in return was Sakura's chakra gathered in her hands.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one could react in time. By the time everyone realized what was happening, Sakura Haruno had already crushed her parents' hearts.

"Being in a coma might be a good thing for her."

Standing next to Tsunade, Kudo Yuuya calmly said that the disappearance of Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga must have been Obito Uchiha's doing, and Sakura Haruno was an innocent victim in this process.

"Perhaps."

Tsunade's eyes were filled with anger. Konoha was helpless against Obito Uchiha, who came and went without a trace, and could only watch him do whatever he wanted in Konoha.

To be precise, there was no way to find any trace of Obito Uchiha. If he didn't want to, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village would even notice anything unusual.

"But this can't go on forever; there are some things we have to face eventually."

Kudo Yuuya calmly looked at Haruno Sakura. Although it was cruel, Konoha's current situation was the perfect time to gather all their strength.

There's no reason to leave an elite Jonin lying here, especially since she's a survivor of Hashirama's stem cell experiments and a medical ninja capable of conducting them.

"Let's wait a bit longer, at least give her some time to adjust."

Tsunade spoke calmly, saying that although Konoha's situation was critical, there was still a little time left. Unless something unexpected happened, she and Jiraiya could still buy some time for their juniors.

"I hope I really will have the time."

Kudo Yuya was somewhat pessimistic about this. There were still many spies lurking in Konoha, and given what had happened before, it was impossible for other ninja villages to remain indifferent.

Even if they once received favors from Konoha, once they find an opportunity, the ninja village that received those favors will certainly not let it go.

After all, the interests of the ninja village are more important than personal reputation. Moreover, once Konoha disappears, how could the ninja village that has benefited from it allow anyone to tarnish their reputation?

"At least we still have a medical ninja as a trump card, right?!"

Tsunade gave a wry smile. If it weren't for the medical ninja Hiroji, the situation in Konoha would be even more dangerous.

She, as Hokage, might even die.
