The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Kudo Yuya remained silent. She had a feeling that something was amiss. The fact that Hiroji had just left Uchiha Obito and then launched an attack was too much of a coincidence.

Although it's not good to have such suspicions, what if it is?

……

On the border of the Land of Fire, two ANBU squads led by Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune were ordered to monitor for any Iwagakure ninjas and take this opportunity to infiltrate Konoha.

However, just as the two teams were patrolling as usual, they suddenly saw a large number of Iwagakure ninja crossing the border of the Land of Fire.

"Is this scale an indication that they intend to launch a direct war?"

As Yamanaka Kaze watched this scene, he directed the retreat of his troops while discussing the matter with Aburame Torune.

"Dust Release: Particle Style: Detachment Technique!"

However, before Aburame Torune could answer, an aged voice came from above them, and along with the voice, a square gray beam of light enveloped both teams.

A flash of light, and Yamanaka Kaze and Aburame Torune landed in a sorry state, while the other members of the Dark Guard were all dead, without even leaving a trace.

Before the two could even think, they discovered that Onoki, who was floating in the air, had once again condensed a huge pillar of dust-escape light, which directly enveloped them.

Just before being hit, Yamanaka Fu used the Mind Transfer Technique to slightly reduce the range of Dust Release, allowing the two to dodge Dust Release once again.

This control didn't last long. Soon, Onoki's Dust Release continued to gather. Seeing this, Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune didn't hesitate and fled towards Konoha.

The Tsuchikage has been mobilized, clearly indicating that they are serious about this matter. All they can do is try to shake off Onoki and find a way to directly transmit the information to Konoha.

"you go first!"

Having made up his mind, Yamanaka Fu turned around and faced Onoki, while Aburame Torune glanced back and then accelerated toward Konoha.

The light of Dust Release condensed in Onoki's hand once again, but this time Onoki still did not release Dust Release directly. After two consecutive large-scale Dust Release attacks, Onoki's chakra was almost depleted.

In reality, if he wasn't under the influence of a genjutsu, how could Onoki possibly use Dust Release over such a large area consecutively?

Just as Yamanaka was relieved to have escaped, a black vortex swallowed them both whole.

A moment later, Onoki reappeared on a nearby tree.

The Iwagakure ninja below were completely unaware of anything amiss and continued advancing into the distance.

Aburame Torune was completely unaware of this.

Inside the Kamui dimension, Hongzhi quietly watched Onoki and Yamanaka Fu in front of him. The Onoki who went out was replaced by a shadow clone. At this time, the invasion of Iwagakure was just beginning, so there was no need to give orders. It was enough to just keep an eye on them.

Hiroji's goal was actually quite simple: to obtain the Dust Release technique mastered by Onoki, as well as the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan.

Both Yamanaka Fu and Ōnoki are under the control of illusion magic and have no ability to resist.

This was a perfect opportunity to test his soul-related secret techniques. A phantom image of a death mask appeared on Hongzhi's face, and then a small knife appeared directly in his hand.

At this moment, Hiroji discovered that he could clearly see Onoki's soul. After searching for a while, Hiroji found the part that symbolized Dust Release. He used the knife on the Shinigami mask to cut it off and then used a soul technique to swallow it directly into his soul space.

Originally under the control of the illusion, Onoki suddenly let out a painful howl. After the howl ended, he opened his eyes again and stared fiercely at Hiroji, who was wearing Akatsuki's uniform.

Onoki raised his hands, trying to gather chakra, but this time nothing happened.

What did you do to me?!

Sensing something was wrong, Onoki asked in a panic. He clearly felt that the Dust Release technique, which he used to be able to use skillfully, had vanished without a trace. No matter how hard he tried, he could not use the power of Dust Release.

"It's just a simple surgery, don't worry about it."

Hongzhi spoke with a smile, and then blue butterflies appeared around him.

The beautiful butterfly immediately trapped Onoki in an illusion again, and then Hiroji threw him out of the Kamui dimension.

Chapter 360 The Birth of the Blind Hyuga Clan

On a blue crystal tree on Mount Myōboku, Kōji sat quietly, the surrounding natural energy slowly flowing into his lower dantian and then being directly transformed into fire, wind, and earth attribute energy.

The three energies are fused in a specific ratio, and a brand new channel is slowly being built.

After the passage was completed, Hongzhi felt a warm current emerge. This warm current appeared quickly, but disappeared even faster.

"Bloodline limit can also be engraved in genes. Natural energy has broken many rules of the ninja world!"

After completing the inscription of Dust Escape, Hongzhi spoke calmly.

As expected, Hiroji completely absorbed the Dust Release soul fragments he obtained from Onoki, but it would still take some time for them to be perfectly integrated.

Hongzhi has now completed this process. The Dust Release, which originally combined the three attributes of wind, fire, and earth, has now been enhanced with the Yin-Yang attribute. However, there has been no opportunity to test the increased power yet.

As for Yamanaka Fu, Hiroji had his shadow clone slowly extract his memories. The Yamanaka clan's secret techniques might also be able to be transformed into a bloodline limit through special transformations.

Of course, this is just Hongzhi's guess. Whether it will be successful depends on whether the content of the extracted scroll can be improved.

However, this matter is not particularly serious. Even if he cannot obtain such a bloodline limit, Hongzhi will not suffer any loss. As for improving it, there is not much need for that anymore.

Hongzhi's current strength is already invincible, so there is no point in improving his strength anymore.

Just wait patiently for the Rinnegan to appear.

……

As the white mist gradually dissipated, Aburame Torune slumped down under a large tree, a slight smile playing on his lips. The intelligence had been successfully sent out; even if he died here, it would be worth it.

Faced with the encirclement and pursuit of hundreds of Iwagakure ninja, it was impossible for him to survive. As an ANBU member, he had long been prepared to sacrifice himself.

Several Iwagakure ninjas quickly surrounded him. They did not approach him directly, indicating that they were not inexperienced genin.

Aburame Torune gave a bitter smile. Purple poisonous mist began to appear on his body. These were poisonous insects he had cultivated. Under normal circumstances, they would live in his body, and a certain number of them would be strictly maintained to prevent them from going out of control and causing a backlash.

However, this time he used all his chakra to catalyze the expansion of the poisonous insects, and the insects' food was his own body.

He did this not to stop the Iwagakure ninja, but to prevent them from getting Konoha's information from his mind. Although Konoha might not be able to stop Iwagakure now, he would rather die than let the information leak out.

The orange-red flames became the last thing Aburame Torune saw. His death did not bring any gain to Iwagakure, nor did it cause Konoha to lose anything, except for him, an unknown ANBU ninja.

"What was bound to happen has finally happened!"

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade looked at the highest-level scroll delivered by the Anbu, her face turning unusually grim.

She then immediately mobilized all the ninjas in Konoha, at the very least preparing a team to stop the Iwagakure ninjas.

One of them must be a Kage-level being; only in this way can we prevent Iwagakure from directly invading this place.

The Anbu ninjas were the first to take action. An hour later, the Konoha ninjas, led by Jiraiya, gathered together. Each of them had a resolute expression on their face, but also a hidden fear and despair in their hearts.

Iwagakure was the strongest ninja village to begin with, while Konoha's strength had been repeatedly diminished. To defeat Iwagakure now would require a miracle.

Even so, they would not back down. If Iwagakure were to invade, not to mention the fate of Konoha, their own families would also be wiped out, which was something they could not accept.

"set off!"

Jiraiya stood at the gates of Konoha, speaking calmly: "Iwagakure's blatant invasion... If Konoha can't deliver a decisive blow, the other three ninja villages might have other ideas."

That would be the most tragic thing for Konoha. Facing Iwagakure alone, they might still have a chance to overcome the crisis, but if another ninja village stabs them in the back, then Konoha would really be finished.

The ninja team slowly set off. This time, in addition to Jiraiya, a Jonin from Konoha was also going to stop the Iwagakure ninja.

Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Asuma were all in the group, but their respective classes were not in this team.

As for why Kurenai Yuhi wasn't there, Sarutobi Asuma stated that he would take responsibility for it.

The new generation of ninjas haven't had the chance to go to the battlefield yet, but they will be the ones to set off in the second batch. After all, of the original twelve Konoha 11, except for two genin, all the others were chunin.

However, this is not something to be happy about. The twelve Konoha 12 are still in a bad situation. First, Sasuke Uchiha defected, and then Neji Hyuga went missing.

Now that Neji Hyuga has finally returned, Hinata Hyuga has gone missing again, and Sakura Haruno has been controlled by genjutsu and killed her parents.

This made them understand the cruelty of ninjas and the terror of their enemies.

In addition, due to the terrifying power of Obito Uchiha's genjutsu, Naruto Uzumaki, who was a Jinchūriki, was placed under the supervision of the sealing team, supposedly to prevent the Nine-Tails' rampage from happening again.

This has led to the complete disintegration of the twelve main characters, and their strength is, to put it mildly, questionable.

They might be more reliable when carrying out missions, but on the battlefield, it's very difficult to be reliable.

The atmosphere at the Hyuga clan's territory was very oppressive. After learning that Hinata and Hanabi had been captured, a very serious problem was placed before the Hyuga clan.

The news of the arranged marriage excited the Hyuga clan, as it would give them an elder position.

But now it's not about the elders' seats anymore, it's about whether the Hyuga clan still has an heir.

Hinata Hyuga lost to Hanabi Hyuga, who then had the right to inherit the title, but now both of them have been captured.

The loss of the head of the family line is a truly terrifying prospect for a large clan. If this problem is not addressed promptly, the Hyuga clan may ultimately fall apart.

While the Hyuga clan was in a state of panic, Hiroji sat in their shrine, in front of him was a huge nutrient tank, in which hundreds of Byakugan eyes were immersed.

The Byakugan was soaking in the nutrient solution, and although it did not show any chakra reaction, it still gave people a creepy feeling.

These are all the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan; even their collections were directly searched by the shadow clones.

This also signifies the official birth of the blind Hyuga clan, and the only person in the entire Hyuga clan without the Butterfly Seal is Hyuga Neji.

After all, he has no eyes and cannot see his surroundings, so there is no need for him to waste natural energy.

Chapter 361 All we need to do is wait for the right opportunity.

The last shadow clone placed the Byakugan into the nutrient box, and Hiroji sent the nutrient box containing the Hyuga clan's Byakugan into the Kamui dimension.

After completing these tasks, Hiroji turned and left. In a sense, the Hyuga clan's branch family should thank Hiroji, since their Caged Bird Seal was directly released.

However, under such circumstances, they shouldn't feel grateful. Of course, when they realized that the eye-rolling had stopped is a question worth considering.

The ninjas from Iwagakure have already killed many Konoha ninjas. The war has begun, and it will take a long time to stop.

Unless Konoha finds the black soil within the Land of Earth, she certainly wouldn't be able to come directly to Konoha after learning the truth, since that would lead to her being discovered halfway there.

Only by finding a way to directly dispel Onoki's illusion can this war be ended.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hongzhi could send the Akatsuki to capture the Tailed Beasts. Capturing at least seven Tailed Beasts would be no problem at all.

As for the Nine-Tails, Minato Namikaze can replace it, and as for the Eight-Tails, it would be quite easy for that guy to catch it if he wanted to.

This process should be able to awaken the Rinnegan, at which point we can wait for Kaguya Otsutsuki to be sealed away.

Hongzhi was still somewhat wary of that person. After all, she was a pure Otsutsuki clan member, and who knew what kind of weird ninjutsu she might have? He decided to just wait until she was sealed away and then devour her.

The shadow clones have already been recruited and are in the second batch of teams to intercept Iwagakure. This part is definitely the main force. Although there are many strong people in the first batch of teams, they are not actually the main force. If you have to say, those people should be the elite.

However, the main force in the Fourth Shinobi World War consisted of ordinary ninjas, since it was a contest of a village's strength and resources.
