The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

"Didn't he tell you? It was the Akatsuki who took Killer Bee away. What does that have to do with us?"

Hongzhi turned his head and calmly looked at the Fourth Raikage. Upon receiving this answer, the Fourth Raikage looked at the clothes on Hongzhi's body and was momentarily speechless. If someone like this were to act like a hooligan, he really wouldn't know what to do.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, the Akatsuki organization that I once built has betrayed us. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to send the still immature Uchiha Sasuke to capture the Tailed Beasts."

"Oh, and by the way, just a heads-up: those traitors have already collected seven tailed beasts. Why don't you guess what they'll do after they gather all nine? Will they start a war?"

Understanding the Fourth Raikage's confusion, Hiroji thoughtfully added some details before leading the half-blind Uchiha Sasuke into the Kamui dimension.

Upon receiving this information, the Fourth Raikage's mind was buzzing. Conflicts had arisen within the Akatsuki organization. Killer Bee, whom Sasuke Uchiha had successfully hunted, had been stolen by those traitors. Moreover, they had already successfully hunted seven tailed beasts. Most importantly, what big event would occur after they collected all nine tailed beasts?!

This information was deduced by the Fourth Raikage from what he just said, and the probability is quite high. After all, this mysterious person had no reason to lie, and he was probably telling them this in order to borrow the power of Kumogakure.

No, to be precise, they wanted to use the power of the five great ninja villages to weaken the power of those traitors, thereby obtaining something. In other words, those other Akatsuki members still possessed power that they feared.

"damn it!"

The Fourth Raikage roared to the sky, his words not only confirming Konoha's initial suspicions but also revealing more information. Through this, he even knew that Killer Bee probably really wouldn't be coming back!

"Notify the other ninja villages to prepare for a Five Kage Summit. The meeting's objective is to find and annihilate the Akatsuki organization and reclaim the Tailed Beasts!"

After venting his anger, the Fourth Raikage addressed the Hidden Cloud Village ninja beside him, saying that this matter was beyond the Hidden Cloud Village's ability to resolve, and that the loss of the Tailed Beasts was inevitably a matter for the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Even if Konoha's Tailed Beasts were currently safe and sound, as long as Akatsuki's target was the Tailed Beasts, Konoha could not remain uninvolved!

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the ninjas of Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) began returning to the village at an extremely fast pace. This kind of task should definitely be left to professionals, namely the Raikage's secretary. All he could do was to relay this information back as quickly as possible, and then someone would naturally handle everything.

If the Raikage didn't have a secretary, the entire Hidden Cloud Village would have been in complete chaos long ago!

......

"You're that strong?"

Inside the Kamui dimension, Uchiha Sasuke calmly spoke to the wall beside him. Standing to his left, Hiroji was at a loss for words. It was unknown who Sasuke was asking, so it was best not to speak.

"You orchestrated all of this, didn't you?"

Seemingly noticing that no one answered, Uchiha Sasuke looked to the right corner and calmly asked. Hiroji, who was witnessing this scene, immediately understood that it wasn't that Uchiha Sasuke had suddenly fallen ill, but that the guy had really gone blind.

Of course, this is not surprising. Putting aside the consumption of training and adapting to the Mangekyou Sharingan, this time Uchiha Sasuke first used the Mangekyou Sharingan to fight Killer Bee. If Killer Bee hadn't been so focused on leaving Kumogakure, Uchiha Sasuke probably wouldn't have been able to defeat him even if he had gone blind.

Later, when facing Pain, he didn't expend much energy. But when facing the Raikage, he kept his Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo active the whole time. This is quite normal, since if Sasuke Uchiha didn't activate these two skills, he would probably have been killed by the Fourth Raikage!

He then went on to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, the highest form of Susanoo, and even had a brief battle with the Raikage, during which the consumption of Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi was terrifying.

In conclusion, it's not incomprehensible that Uchiha Sasuke, who had only awakened his Sharingan a few days prior, was about to go blind.

After all, even Itachi Uchiha used the Mangekyou Sharingan intermittently when he had three tomoe, while Obito Uchiha, who had Hashirama cells as nourishment, used it more frequently than Itachi, but he didn't do the same thing.

"I'm here."

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's almost gray pupils, Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh, "The Mangekyou Sharingan really isn't durable. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is much better."

Sasuke Uchiha was slightly taken aback when he heard the voice, but he quickly recovered and turned to look at where Hongzhi was.

"You arranged all of this?"

This time, Sasuke Uchiha's question was much more certain; he had already guessed the answer and just wanted to confirm it.

"That's right, what's your problem?"

Hongzhi answered casually, quietly toying with the nutrient bottle containing Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand.

Chapter 398 An...Ordinary Person

Sasuke Uchiha suddenly fell silent. He had originally wanted to ask why, but the sudden answer caught him off guard, leaving him unsure how to proceed.

"What exactly is your purpose? Wouldn't it be better to just take the Eight-Tails away with your strength?"

It was a long time before Sasuke Uchiha's voice finally came through, and the question almost made Hiroji burst out laughing.

"First of all, I want to tell you that it doesn't matter who is collecting the Tailed Beasts. Now that the Rinnegan is on their side, they have the means to reliably seal the Tailed Beasts. So why should I take the risk of the Tailed Beasts going berserk?"

Anyway, the Two-Tails and Nine-Tails are still around. As long as they haven't gathered all the Tailed Beasts, everything can be salvaged. Most importantly, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan isn't something anyone can use. Even if they gather all nine Tailed Beasts, they still won't be able to activate the Eye of the Moon Plan. But once we obtain the Rinnegan, we can take all the Tailed Beasts back.

In this situation, what's wrong with letting them help collect the Tailed Beasts? At worst, we can wait until the guy holding the Rinnegan is drained of his energy before retrieving the eye. The more Tailed Beasts they control, the shorter that guy's lifespan will be. I can afford to wait.”

As Hongzhi spoke casually, Sasuke Uchiha, who had learned some things about the Rinnegan and the Eye of the Moon, was suddenly taken aback. So that's why this guy wasn't in a hurry at all. In that case, it was actually advantageous for the Akatsuki to take the Eight-Tails away!

"Then why did you send me to fight the Eight-Tails, and even bring in the Raikage in the end?"

After calming down for a moment, Sasuke Uchiha slowly spoke. His gray pupils stared at Hiroji, giving Hiroji a rather complicated feeling—not fear, but rather a sense of pity...

"Of course, it's to help you master the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although you're almost blind now, your mastery of the Mangekyou Sharingan is worlds apart from when you first awakened it!"

As Hongzhi spoke casually, Sasuke Uchiha fell silent. He wanted to say, "What's the use? If you use these words a few more times, he'll go completely blind."

However, considering the matter of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha chose to remain silent.

"To be honest, Itachi Uchiha's abilities are very comprehensive. If he could merge with my eyes to form the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, then I would have no weaknesses. I wouldn't even have to wait for that guy to die to collect Madara Uchiha's legacy. But unfortunately, he and I are not blood brothers."

Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke didn't speak, Hongzhi smiled and then pressed Uchiha Sasuke down into a chair. Uchiha Sasuke clearly tried to resist, but it was obviously to no avail.

Hongzhi simply tied up Uchiha Sasuke and then immediately began the fusion of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"These are Itachi Uchiha's eyes. Live well with them. He hopes to see you return to Konoha and revitalize the Uchiha clan."

The Holy Healing Flame burned, and two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan slowly merged in Uchiha Sasuke's eye sockets. Uchiha Sasuke, who understood what Hiroji was doing, gradually calmed down.

The patterns of the two Mangekyou Sharingan gradually merged together. Uchiha Sasuke felt that his nearly depleted source of ocular power had directly connected to another source. Then the two began to slowly merge, until finally the so-called source disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, a complex stream of information flooded into his mind. These were Itachi Uchiha's two eye techniques: Amaterasu, which was exactly the same as his own, and Tsukuyomi, which had tormented him several times and could even become a shadow.

Tsukuyomi exists in the left eye and Kagutsuchi without interfering with each other, while Amaterasu is fused in the right eye and completely merged with the original Amaterasu, making the original black flames even more terrifying.

Having completed this transformation, Uchiha Sasuke slowly fell asleep. Watching Hiroji's six-pointed star pattern gradually disappear after fusion, he pressed down on Hiroji's left hand, which was trying to pluck out the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

If they were to seize this, how would Sasuke Uchiha possibly fight Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Could she be using her good looks to seduce him?

While it might indeed have a miraculous effect on Kaguya Otsutsuki, the problem is that it's impossible to seal her away smoothly. Moreover, the best time to take down Sasuke's eyes is after he awakens the Rinnegan.

Ignoring the sleeping Uchiha Sasuke, Hiroji simply passed through the wall and left the room.

In another laboratory, Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga had awakened, but due to the dense seals on the nutrient tank, it was impossible for them to mobilize their chakra.

Hiroji is quite experienced in this matter, and Hyuga Neji, who still has the seal on him that hasn't been broken, has a lot to say about it. However, it's still a great pity for the Hyuga clan.

"who are you?"

As Hinata admired the white Tenseigan, her voice slowly drifted over. Because she was connected to a ventilator and isolated from the nutrient solution and nutrient tank, her voice sounded a little strange, but it didn't affect anything.

"I am just an ordinary person who is dedicated to researching the secrets of the Otsutsuki clan."

Hiroji answered casually. Even though she couldn't hear him through all these things, Hinata Hyuga's basic observational ability with the Tenseigan was enough to allow her to read Hiroji's "lip reading".

"What exactly do you want?"

A faint voice came again, clearly indicating that she still cared a lot about this matter. After all, anyone would ask about being suddenly found here.

"Don't worry, I'm more interested in your eyes than you are in me, and of course, the same goes for that guy over there."

Hiroji glanced at Hyuga Hanabi, whose eyes were blue, similar to Hyuga Neji's. Although beautiful, the Byakugan Princess's eyes were so striking that Hiroji had no interest in admiring them.

Seemingly having gotten the answer she wanted, or perhaps knowing that asking any questions would be pointless, Hinata Hyuga stopped asking and even closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Hongzhi shook his head helplessly. "If you were still in Konoha, the Hyuga clan probably wouldn't care about your unrequited love. They might even send you here directly."

Of course, the final outcome is no different now. In any case, it was sent here to cultivate the Tenseigan, and it is cultivating the Tenseigan now.

Ignoring the intermediate process, the Hyuga clan's plan succeeded.

As for your beloved Naruto Uzumaki, he's probably just a blockhead right now.

After all, learning Wood Release ninjutsu is quite difficult. Even if Naruto Uzumaki had the talent, he must have been completely confused at first. From a certain perspective, it's not a problem that his mind was full of wood.

Unfortunately, your next meeting will likely be in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Hongzhi looked at Hinata Hyuga and shook his head helplessly. Some things are destined to become regrets, but beautiful eyes will last forever.

Chapter 399 You don't need to worry about this.

Silence fell over the laboratory. Hinata Hanabi finally closed her eyes slowly, as keeping them open for too long wasn't very comfortable.

In another laboratory, Hiroji looked at the yellow Tenseigan that had been successfully conceived and felt that it was the ugliest pair of eyes. The person in question was Toneri.

It's rather absurd to say that the Tenseigan, born from a bloodline as pure as Hinata Hyuga's, turned out like this, which really disappointed Hiroji.

However, it didn't have much of an impact. Apart from the pair of perfect Tenseigan, the rest of the Tenseigan were all nutritional supplements, with no distinction between high and low value.

After collecting Toneri's Tenseigan, Hiroji did not kill Toneri directly, nor did he throw him into the ninja world. Compared to Hyuga Neji, who had no understanding of the moon, Toneri's existence could, at the right time, draw the attention of Konoha ninjas to the moon.

This might be useful, since it will definitely take some time for him to devour Kaguya Otsutsuki, and there might be a use for the moon and Toneri after he awakens.

However, in the end, they all become nourishment for the divine tree; it makes no difference whether they are born sooner or later.

......

Inside the room, Uchiha Sasuke slowly woke up. He had a dream, a dream without the night of the massacre of his clan. Everything in the dream was beautiful; it was the beautiful world he wanted to create.

After awakening the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha first experimented with his abilities. This experiment confirmed his previous guess: as long as there is enough chakra, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can remain active indefinitely.

Moreover, there will be no burden. In addition, Susanoo seems to be able to become even more terrifying, all of which make it gradually approach the legendary Uchiha Madara.

"They didn't take my eyes? Could it be that guy's goal is the Rinnegan?"

After adapting to his new eyes, Sasuke Uchiha pondered carefully. He was still very worried about this matter. Obito Uchiha was very strong. If he had his eyes taken away directly after activating the Rinnegan, wouldn't everything have been for nothing?

"My goal is indeed the Rinnegan. While Itachi Uchiha's abilities are impressive, yours are like the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan—they seem important, but they're actually useless! Only a fool like Danzo would go crazy pursuing them."

While Sasuke Uchiha was still lost in thought, Hiroji's voice came from behind him. Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately became alert. He turned around and looked in Hiroji's direction, and was relieved to find that he had found the right place this time.

This is to be expected. Although both pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan are partially blind, once they are combined, their vision is maximized even without activating the Sharingan.

"Now can you tell me what the myriad phenomena of the universe really are?"

Sasuke Uchiha was thick-skinned enough to immediately change the subject upon seeing Hongzhi. He had no clue about the Rinnegan and still needed to use Obito Uchiha.

"According to the inscription on the stone tablet of the Uchiha clan, the power of the Senju and Uchiha clans combined to open up the myriad phenomena of the universe."

During the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha bit off Hashirama Senju's cells and transplanted them into his wound. After a long wait, he successfully awakened the Rinnegan on his deathbed and summoned the Ten-Tails' hull, the Gedo Mazo, through it.

This is the container used by the Akatsuki to seal the Tailed Beasts, and also the source of the original nine Tailed Beasts. After gathering all nine Tailed Beasts to revive the Ten-Tails, they could activate the Eye of the Moon Plan to create a world without conflict or discord, where everyone lives in happiness and contentment.
