The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Jiraiya said helplessly, "The Hyuga clan, where every member used to play a special role, has become like this. This loss to Konoha is no less than the Senju clan's final madness and the Uchiha clan massacre caused by the previous generation of Konoha leaders."

From then on, Konoha no longer had any large clans with bloodline limits, and the remaining small clans were gradually dying out. If no solution was found, perhaps in another ten years or so, Konoha would have no bloodline limit clans left.

Whether the Hyuga clan can survive is still unknown, and they will definitely need Konoha's help in the early stages.

"I hope the next generation will not be affected."

Tsunade spoke calmly. As a former member of the Senju clan, she understood the Hyuga clan's thoughts. Nothing was more important than the continuation of the clan. Even when the Senju clan fought desperately against the Kumogakure ninja, they still managed to preserve their lineage.

"It shouldn't be affected!"

Jiraiya turned to look at the Hyuga clan's territory, feeling a sense of desolation slowly creeping over him. The current countermeasures discussed between Konoha and the Hyuga clan were quite appropriate, but if Obito Uchiha's genjutsu were to be dispelled, the entire Hyuga clan would be in complete chaos.

......

"As expected of someone with the Rinnegan, they captured the Eight-Tails so quickly!"

Inside one of Akatsuki's bases, Hiroji, who appeared as a phantom, looked at the octopus legs on the ground and spoke to Pain in his physical form.

As Hongzhi spoke, the other Akatsuki phantoms around him also looked at Pain. Knowing the strength of the Hidden Cloud Village, they gained a new understanding of the Akatsuki leader's power.

Once they understand this, their contempt for Pain will disappear. After all, invading Kumogakure to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and shake off pursuers are quite difficult tasks. The people in Kumogakure are known for their strong personalities, and the appearance of rogue ninjas is an unexpected occurrence, let alone invading and slapping them in the face.

"Alright, seal the tailed beast in peace!"

Seeing the changes in the Akatsuki members, Nagato, controlling Pain, spoke up, saying that Obito Uchiha must already know that he had taken the Eight-Tails, so it would be safer to send the Eight-Tails directly into the Gedo Mazo.

After all, even if the Gedo Mazo was stolen, he could successfully summon it back using the Rinnegan. As for Obito Uchiha, unless that guy also had the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths, he couldn't possibly compete with the Akatsuki for the Tailed Beasts.

The ritual to seal the "Eight-Tailed Fox" began, but Hongzhi did not react at all. After all, it would be troublesome to reveal a flaw in advance, and a fake will always be a fake.

About five minutes passed slowly. Koji, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly heard a sound like a shadow clone dispelling. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw Killer Bee, whose chakra had been drained by the Gedo Mazo.

It turned back into its original octopus leg, and then, because it lost all its chakra, the octopus leg slowly disappeared.

"Hahaha~"

Upon seeing this scene, Hongzhi burst out laughing. Although he had imagined such a scene before, he still couldn't help but laugh when he saw it with his own eyes.

As laughter erupted, the expressions on the faces of the Akatsuki members became unusually complex, with some even silently observing Pain's expression.

Unfortunately, Pain is a puppet and doesn't have any facial expressions, but one thing is certain: Nagato's expression must have been quite something.

"Sorry, I couldn't resist!"

Hongzhi offered a casual explanation, and only after confirming that no one cared did he continue:

"Octopus legs! Looks like we've been tricked."

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned to Pain, the Deva Path, in the very center, including Konan. She never dreamed that Nagato's intervention would cause such a blunder.

"This tailed beast was stolen from Uchiha Sasuke. It seems that when he caught it, it was already an octopus leg."

Nagato remained remarkably calm. Although he was initially somewhat surprised, it didn't affect anything. As long as the Eight-Tails was still in the ninja world, he was certain that it could be captured.

"It's a real pity. If you had gone directly to Kumogakure, you might have been able to bring back the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

When Nagato recounted Sasuke Uchiha's achievements, Hiroji spoke casually, while the Akatsuki members who appeared as phantoms around him had strange expressions upon hearing this.

"I will bring back the Eight-Tails, as well as the Two-Tails that is about to be revived and the Nine-Tails of Konoha."

Nagato, controlling Pain, spoke calmly. Although the matter was indeed somewhat embarrassing, it wouldn't affect anything since the Eight-Tails captured by Sasuke Uchiha was fake.

That proves that the Eight-Tails should still be inside Kumogakure, and with Pain's abilities, bringing it back shouldn't be a problem.

"Hopefully nothing unexpected happens. I'm very interested in the ultimate weapon you mentioned!"

Hongzhi left behind these words and disappeared without a trace. He didn't particularly care about the reactions of the other members of the Akatsuki.

As for whether there would be any problems with letting Nagato collect all nine tailed beasts, Hiroji felt it wasn't a big deal. Putting aside whether Nagato could succeed, even if he did, he would be the first to die.

After all, the chakra required to control the Gedo Mazo is on a completely different level than the chakra required to control the Ten-Tails. Unless that guy uses the Ten-Tails' Coffin to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, but whether he can overcome the Ten-Tails' consciousness invasion is a very serious question.

Even if all of Nagato's attempts succeed, Hiroji doesn't need to worry about his strength, since the eye that has been nurtured for so long is about to appear.

Chapter 405 Rinnegan and the Tomoe Rinnegan

Inside the Crystal Palace of Mount Myōboku, Kōji waited quietly with his eyes closed. The natural energy needed for the Rinnegan to develop was almost completely absorbed. Once enough natural energy was stored, the first pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world to be entirely developed from natural energy would be born.

As the final stage approached, Hiroji felt his eyes burning hotter and hotter. Interestingly, although these eyes belonged to the same eyeball as the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan that was already in his eye socket, the two had no connection whatsoever.

There is no so-called progressive relationship; it's more like a parallel relationship. However, the Rinnegan is clearly stronger than the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

As the last bit of natural energy was replenished, Hongzhi slowly opened his eyes. His originally dark pupils gradually turned purple, and the purple color instantly filled his entire eye. In addition, black circles appeared in concentric rings.

As the two stabilized completely, Hongzhi's vision was fully restored. This perspective was not fundamentally different from that of a normal Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. This refers to the difference in magnification. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan sees the surroundings in slow motion, and the Rinnegan sees them in similar slow motion.

However, the Rinnegan should be able to see more things than the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. But on Mount Myōboku, apart from Kōji, there wasn't even a living mosquito, so naturally, nothing else could be seen.

The birth of the Rinnegan is accompanied by the awakening of special abilities. The ability that Hiroji obtained can be called spatial teleportation. No matter what state he is in, as long as the power of the Rinnegan is still there, he can directly teleport to another location.

It's somewhat similar to Sasuke Uchiha's Amenotejikara later on, but there's a fundamental difference. Sasuke's was an exchange, while Hiroji's was a simple transfer.

"This is not good!"

Upon learning the truth, Hongzhi's expression turned somewhat grim. Although the distance was greater than that of Uchiha Sasuke's Amenotejikara, it was merely a transfer, not a replacement, and thus seemed to be a level lower, which was somewhat embarrassing for Hongzhi.

However, since they have already awakened, we can't just dig them out and conceive another pair. Besides, if Uchiha Sasuke's abilities are useful, why not just take them?

This is the special ability of Hongzhi's Rinnegan. As for the basic abilities, there is no doubt that it is Pain's Six Paths, which Nagato has mastered. In fact, it is just a few special abilities.

The use of gravity and repulsion, Pain's Deva Path's abilities, including the so-called Universal Pull, Shinra Tensei, and the subsequent Chibaku Tensei and Tenai Sensei, are all special applications of a power.

The subsequent abilities are chakra absorption, summoning beast enhancement, the ability to heal and repair (like a demon king in hell), soul extraction and memory extraction, and finally, a human weapon.

These correspond to the realms of hungry ghosts, animals, hell, humans, and finally, the realm of Asuras.

If Hongzhi wanted to, he could completely transform his right hand into a human weapon, essentially the ability to launch missiles and shells like the Asura Path. For Hongzhi, this was the most useless ability.

However, if combined with the control abilities of the Rinnegan and the enhancement abilities of summoning beasts, the Asura Path is still very useful. For example, if Sasori's puppet body is retrieved and transformed into a completely new Asura Path, wouldn't the Gundam from Kankuro's Infinite Tsukuyomi basically appear?

However, Sasori is still alive, so there is no way to achieve this goal. Besides, the most useless ability in the Rinnegan is the enhancement of summoning beasts, which grants the summoning beasts the Rinnegan's vision. In this case, the Rinnegan's vision is shared.

As for the remaining abilities, they are perfect for Hongzhi. For example, the Human Path ability can further enhance the ability of soul secret techniques, while the Hungry Ghost Path ability combined with divine power is simply invincible.

Either you miss, or your chakra is absorbed. Although Hongzhi doesn't have chakra, the absorbed chakra is converted by natural energy in an instant.

As for Tiandao's skills, they can definitely be considered a killer move. Hongzhi can now create a completely new moon, but the problem is that no one is worthy of such a powerful attack.

As for the Heavenly Star of Destruction, its power combined with Kamui is also very strong. After pulling the meteorite down, it directly enters a state of intangibility. At that time, even without the ability of Impure World Reincarnation, it can ignore the risks of this move.

However, the problem now is that if you want to use the abilities of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan, you need to switch between them.

Although the process is very short, unexpected things may happen, but the solution is relatively simple.

The Sage of Six Paths' solution was the Rinnegan with tomoe, the same eye Sasuke Uchiha had that allowed him to use both the Rinnegan and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. However, Sasuke only had one, while Hiroji could have two if he succeeded.

It will probably be a game-changer then, but there are still risks involved. Hongzhi plans to try it out with his left eye first, since the left eye's abilities are rather useless.

The abilities of the Rinnegan are naturally the same, and there is not much difference between having it and not having it. However, the abilities of the left eye of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan are Kamui at a long distance and Kotoamatsukami, which can permanently modify one's will.

Both are practically useless. Why would you need a long-range weapon when you can get close to it? And the cooldown time for the other is just too long, so long it makes you question your existence.

Moreover, it wouldn't be of much use to Hongzhi, since he could either kill him outright or use short-term Kotoamatsukami for continuous control. Even if the Kotoamatsukami in his left eye were ready, it would still be useless to Hongzhi.

The chaotic energy in the upper dantian continuously flowed into the left eye, corresponding to the energy of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the energy of the Rinnegan, gradually approaching each other under external pressure.

It's a pipe dream for the energy of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to devour the energy of the Rinnegan. However, it is still possible for the energy of the Rinnegan to devour the energy of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, although it is relatively slow.

This fusion process lasted about a day, which was much slower than Sasuke Uchiha's direct awakening. However, considering the Sage of Six Paths' identity, this was quite normal. After all, in terms of researching the Rinnegan, even Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't compare to that guy who could come back to life after death.

Furthermore, Hongzhi felt that when Uchiha Sasuke activated the Rinnegan, he directly enveloped the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan energy with the Rinnegan energy. In that case, the fusion naturally ended with the activation of the Rinnegan.

When six jet-black tomoe appeared in his left Rinnegan, Hiroji felt that the energy of his left Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan had completely disappeared.

No, to be precise, my left eye is now a Rinnegan with tomoe.

Chapter 406 The Five Kage Summit?!

After the transformation of his left eye was completed, Hongzhi discovered that the shape of his left eye had become completely fixed.

They either have ordinary eyes, or they open their eyes with the Rinnegan with tomoe. All the so-called changes like the three-tomoe, Mangekyou, and Rinnegan have completely disappeared without a trace.

In this respect, he is still a bit stronger than Uchiha Sasuke. At least he can turn it off directly, while Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan with tomoe cannot be turned off at all. This may be because that guy opened his eyes with the power given to him by the Sage of Six Paths.

The difference lies in the fact that it wasn't entirely due to their own enlightenment.

After confirming that the Mangekyou Sharingan ability in his left eye had not disappeared, Hiroji immediately began the transformation of his right eye. At the very beginning of the transformation, Hiroji had a special feeling that the ability of his right eye might undergo some special changes.

The transformation process continued until dawn. When Hongzhi opened his eyes, he was somewhat taken aback. It wasn't that there was any mistake in the transformation of his right eye, but rather that some abilities had been fused together, among which the spatial teleportation he had just acquired directly absorbed Kamui.

Originally inferior to Sasuke Uchiha's spatial teleportation, it could directly transfer everything to the Kamui dimension in case of trouble.

It can be considered a hugely enhanced version of Kamui, even the time of etherealization and the speed of Kamui's transfer have been improved. Although the main body of the fusion is spatial movement, Hongzhi still prefers to call it Kamui.

Secondly, it was necessary for Hiroji to fuse the Kaleidoscope eye techniques that he had been using one after another, Kotoamatsukami and Illusion Butterfly, into one ability. Although the improvement was not much, the eye power consumed was reduced from two parts to one.

As for the so-called Amaterasu, there weren't many changes. The last remaining tormenting Mangekyou Sharingan seemed to have been forgotten. Amaterasu had at least been strengthened, while the latter remained completely unchanged.

This left Hongzhi speechless. However, the number of tomoe did not change despite having fused with several other Mangekyou Sharingan. The six-tomoe Rinnegan was probably the pinnacle of the tomoe Rinnegan.

As for the eyes on the Ten-Tails and Madara Uchiha's foreheads, they are clearly not the same as the eyes; they are located in different places. If Hiroji were to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, he would also develop such eyes if he were near the moon.

Unfortunately, it was essentially Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinne Sharingan. Although Koji might not necessarily lose to Kaguya Otsutsuki in a battle of wills, Koji preferred to play it safe. Why should he face Kaguya Otsutsuki at her peak?

Wouldn't it be a sure win to fight her directly while she's sealed away?

As for other things, do they matter?

Hongzhi's eyes returned to normal, and he quietly pondered what was to come. The Five Kage Summit should be about to take place, which would mark the end of the Akatsuki. Perhaps he could use this time to hone his Rinnegan skills and collect some suitable puppet summoning beasts.

For example, using the corpses of Akatsuki members to create the Six Paths is a good idea. It's just unknown how long Nagato can last. After Nagato dies, Obito Uchiha, who is almost rotting in the nutrient tank, will be able to step onto the stage of history.

The scene will definitely be spectacular. Obito Uchiha knows more than Nagato, and his modified physique should be able to support the consumption of two Rinnegan without much problem. The Ten-Tails may be resurrected in an incomplete state.

This is a good opportunity to assess Kaguya Otsutsuki's power, since the Ten-Tails is also a part of her, and arguably a very important part at that.

-----------------

In the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tsunade, who had just started working, felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the scroll in front of her—an invitation scroll for the Five Kage Summit sent by the Anbu of Kumogakure.

Although it hasn't been opened yet, Tsunade already knows that this matter is not simple. After all, the Five Kage Summit is something that happened a long time ago to her, and it wasn't originally included in the Five Kage Summit.

After all, the country was in constant warfare at the time. Which village's Kage would take such a risk to hold such a meeting? The first person to convene the Five Kage Summit was Hashirama Senju, her grandfather, who was once a renowned figure in the ninja world.
