The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Isn't that just doing something when you have nothing better to do?

Moreover, even so, no one would believe it.

"I don't know. Maybe he was controlled by Obito Uchiha like the Three-Tails did before. Maybe he kept it from Obito and was recuperating alone near Kumogakure. Or maybe he's even inside Kumogakure?"

Nagato said calmly that even if Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was still in Kumogakure, the Fourth Raikage could still go berserk if he was seriously injured.

The Akatsuki's collection of Tailed Beasts will definitely be discovered, since there are only three left. Even if all five Kage are idiots, they should understand that the Akatsuki's goal is the Tailed Beasts.

"But this is also an opportunity for us. Tsunade can't bring Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, to the Five Kage Summit. This is a good opportunity for us to capture the Nine-Tails. As for the Two-Tails, we can only wait for its resurrection."

Nagato spoke calmly. Although the situation looked very serious, there was still not much danger for the Akatsuki. Even if the five great ninja villages formed a united front after the Five Kage Summit, it would still be very difficult to find Amegakure by following the clues.

It's entirely possible for the Akatsuki members to buy enough time. Moreover, if the Two-Tails were to revive at that time, he could very well revive the Ten-Tails ahead of time, at which point there would be no need to worry about the existence of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.

Whether the five great ninja villages will seek out the Akatsuki or the Akatsuki will actively seek out the ninjas from the five great ninja villages remains to be seen.

"It is indeed the best time, but the risks are also very high."

Konan hesitated for a moment before speaking, suggesting that the best plan would be to gather all the Akatsuki members and invade Konoha after obtaining the Two-Tails. She believed that the Akatsuki members would be happy to cause trouble in Konoha, and even if they were all killed in the end, it would buy them enough time.

All that's left is to seal the Nine-Tails, and there won't be any more surprises.

"There's nothing we can do about it; after all, things can't always go exactly as we planned."

Nagato shook his head helplessly. If he could delay, that would be the best option, but if the five great ninja villages joined forces, they could eliminate them very quickly, since no small ninja village would want to be enemies with the five great ninja villages.

At that time, Amegakure will definitely be suspected, and many people know some information about Akatsuki. If they unite completely, it is very likely that Amegakure will be exposed, and then we will really be in a passive position.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it's best to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in advance. As for the Two-Tails, as long as it can be discovered early, it shouldn't be any more difficult to deal with than the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki already in Konoha.

"How are we going to deal with that guy?"

Konan gave up on trying to persuade Nagato and instead inquired about Hiroji. That guy was very strong, and although he seemed to be inside Akatsuki, he hadn't actually provided any help to Akatsuki.

If he were allowed to stay in Amegakure, he might be a threat, but unfortunately, that guy is very strong, so there's no chance for him to make a move.

"It would be better if he didn't exist. Perhaps he would help us when necessary in order to see the legendary weapon."

Nagato gazed in the direction of Hiroji, refraining from any irrational actions. Instead, he felt a sense of anticipation, hoping that perhaps when everything had completely failed, that guy's existence could save Konan's life and the residents of Amegakure.

"I hope nothing bad happens!"

Chapter 412 On the Eve of the Five Kage Summit

Not long after the Land of Iron arranged the Five Kage Summit, the Raikage of Kumogakure arrived with a guard.

The guard's name is Hi, a medical ninja who uses the lightning attribute. Although his status is not as high as Darui's, he is still considered a trusted subordinate of the Raikage.

"How is the situation on the Hokage's side? Without their medical ninjas, it would be very difficult for Lord Raikage's arm to recover."

In the lounge prepared by the Land of Iron, hope looked at Darui who had just entered and calmly asked, "The scroll specifically invited the Hokage to come early with medical ninjas so that his arm could be healed before the Five Kage Summit could proceed."

"There is no information about the Hokage of Konoha yet, not to mention whether the medical ninja from Konoha will even come."

Darui spoke helplessly. Even though the scroll for the Five Kage Summit made the request, it was still unknown whether Konoha would agree. Moreover, if that guy was unwilling to come, even the Hokage could not coerce him.

"That being said, Konoha shouldn't refuse our request. After all, the purpose of this Five Kage Summit is to deal with Akatsuki. It's impossible for Konoha alone to resist Akatsuki's attack and protect the Nine-Tails."

hope calmly analyzed the situation, still very concerned about it. After all, the entire ninja world's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or landscape) would be changed as a result, so Konoha had no reason not to accept their proposal.

"That being said, they can always schedule a time with us to treat their injuries after the Five Kage Summit!"

Darui sat on a chair to the side, looking somewhat dejected. He was clearly not particularly worried about the matter. How Konoha made its choice was Konoha's business. As the party asking for help, they had no need to think about such meaningless things.

Whether Konoha agrees to treatment or not, it's their decision, and Kumogakure can only accept the final outcome.

"All right!"

Seemingly feeling that the argument between the two was pointless, the Fourth Raikage spoke directly. As for whether the ninjas of Konoha would agree to this matter, he was not particularly concerned. The most important thing was the outcome of the Five Kage Summit.

No matter what, the Akatsuki organization must be eradicated. Although the chances of Killer Bee surviving under these circumstances are extremely slim, revenge is necessary. Every single member of the Akatsuki organization must die!

On another snowy field in the Land of Iron, Tsunade led Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku forward slowly. Their footprints were so clear that even a Kage-level warrior couldn't make them as clear as they would on water.

The two are not difficult at all, and if you are not deliberately concealing your tracks, there is no need to waste chakra while traveling. You can just proceed slowly. After all, the Five Kage Summit is not a battlefield.

"There shouldn't be any problems with the Raikage, right?"

As Jiraiya walked along the road, he asked with some concern. Although they were not afraid of the so-called Raikage, it was hard to imagine whether the Hidden Cloud Village would think that Konoha was looking down on them because Hiroji had not come. After all, the Hidden Cloud Village ninjas were generally quite short-tempered.

"It's alright. We just need to tell him that Hongzhi has left Konoha. As for where he went, we don't know."

Tsunade spoke casually, and Jiraiya was somewhat taken aback upon hearing this. Although such things could not be hidden for long, was it a bit too exaggerated to just say it out loud like this?

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Jiraiya was somewhat worried that if other ninja villages found out about this, they would probably laugh at Konoha behind its back.

"Nothing will happen. Besides, he only left Konoha, not defected. Under such circumstances, the other ninja villages wouldn't know the specifics."

Tsunade wasn't worried about this at all. Since he wasn't a rogue ninja, even if he was eventually found at the Akatsuki's base, he would have been captured by the Akatsuki. As long as Konoha stuck to this point, the other four great ninja villages couldn't say anything, since Konoha didn't need to reclaim the tailed beasts.

"That seems to make sense, but if the Raikage's injuries are serious, won't it really affect the Five Kage Summit?"

Jiraiya nodded, then asked again, "If the Raikage's situation affects the Five Kage Summit, it's something Konoha definitely doesn't want to see, since Konoha knows the Akatsuki and Obito Uchiha's background best."

If they could eliminate them directly, it would be a huge win for Konoha, since they wouldn't have to worry about them targeting Konoha. If they still can't solve the problem...

That only shows that the Akatsuki organization is terrifying beyond imagination, and the five great ninja villages will definitely not have internal strife under such circumstances in the future.

Soon the three arrived at the castle where the Five Kage Summit was being held, and the samurai of the Land of Iron gladly led them to the rest room belonging to Konoha.

At the same time, a samurai knocked on the door of the Cloud Village's rest room. Upon hearing the sound, Darui slowly came out, and after a brief exchange, Darui's eyes gradually brightened.

After the samurai left, Darui entered the lounge. His originally lazy face now showed a hint of excitement. Upon seeing this, the Raikage immediately stood up. The only thing that could make Darui so happy was the arrival of the Hokage of Konoha.

"lead the way!"

Without much hesitation, the Raikage chose to go in person. Although he didn't seem to care much, the impact on his strength was still terrifying, especially since he was about to face the Five Kage Summit.

They might even be attacked by the Akatsuki. The Five Kage Summit is such a big event. Even if the Akatsuki didn't notice the problem at first, now that all five Kage have mobilized, they will definitely be able to see the problem.

Since the locations of the five Kage are highly overlapping, locking down the castle of the Land of Iron is not a big problem.

In this situation, if he were to take action, he would be completely helpless. After all, the members of Akatsuki are at least Kage-level, while he has not only lost his right hand but also completely ruined his left arm. He would be pushing himself to the limit if he could only use one-fifth of his strength.

The Raikage, accompanied by two guards and led by a samurai, arrived at the rest room belonging to Konoha. Initially, all three of them had expectations on their faces, but as Nara Shikaku opened the door and the Raikage saw who was in the room, his expectations immediately diminished by more than half.

Tsunade keenly noticed this, but didn't pay it any mind. She was ashamed of her own inferiority to Hiroji's medical ninjutsu, and besides, that guy was from Konoha. Under such circumstances, she wouldn't have any special thoughts.

"It seems your situation is not good!"

Tsunade looked at the Raikage's drooping left arm and empty right hand, feeling a bit of a headache. Although she hadn't examined it closely, she was certain that she couldn't handle it.

Chapter 413 Is there no other way?

Inside the room, Tsunade carefully examined the Raikage's left arm. Although when she saw it hanging down, Tsunade felt that there was no hope.

Her medical ninjutsu is far superior to that of ordinary medical ninjas, but in reality, she is still at the same level as the elites of various ninja villages. At most, she is better at handling details and can even handle more complex injuries.

But in reality, they are still at the same level, and Tsunade usually can't handle the injuries that the elite medical ninjas of Kumogakure can't handle either.

As for Hongzhi, he has completely transcended their level. The dividing line is the Regeneration Technique, a terrifying medical ninjutsu that can directly regenerate severed limbs. This is Hongzhi's research result from a long time ago, but it is still an insurmountable monument for the entire ninja world.

"If you don't want it to affect your future life, my suggestion is to amputate the entire left arm. That way, at least after the left arm is completely necrotic, it won't affect other parts of your body."

Tsunade calmly analyzed the situation, while the Raikage's face gradually darkened upon hearing this. If he were to have his limbs amputated, he would essentially be completely crippled, which would definitely affect the situation in Kumogakure and even the upcoming Five Kage Summit.

"Isn't there any other way?"

The Fourth Raikage asked curiously, as he had other thoughts on the matter, such as the Konoha medical ninja who had successfully helped him stand up.

“I know what you’re thinking, but the problem is that since the retreat from Iwagakure, Hiroji has left Konoha. Where did he go? When will he come back? Or will he even come back? It’s all unknown.”

"And your left arm will be completely ruined within a few days. If we don't do something about it, by the time he comes back, it might not just be a problem with your left arm anymore!"

Tsunade calmly explained, and the Fourth Raikage, who had initially held a sliver of hope, suddenly turned extremely pale. He never dreamed that the genius medical ninja would leave Konoha without leaving any contact information, which was truly unacceptable to him.

"Stop it!"

Without much hesitation, knowing that there was no way to cure it in a short time, the Fourth Raikage decided to amputate the limb first. In this case, once the so-called genius ninja was found, he could recover directly. If he continued to delay, he would probably never be able to be cured.

"Bear with it."

Tsunade conjured a chakra scalpel and began to act. As purplish-black blood flowed, the Fourth Raikage's face turned extremely pale. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead. If he hadn't been biting something in his mouth, he probably would have broken a few teeth.

Dark purple blood slowly flowed down her shoulder. Upon seeing this, Tsunade did not immediately stop the bleeding. Instead, she waited until the blood returned to normal before attempting to stop it. By this time, the Fourth Raikage's face had turned deathly pale.

After stopping the bleeding and bandaging the wound, Tsunade did not stop but slowly picked up the scalpel next to her and began to study the Fourth Raikage's severed arm.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Fourth Raikage felt a chill run down his spine, but his powerful physique held him back, so he was only slightly weak and wouldn't faint outright.

But when he saw Tsunade directly studying the severed arm, the Fourth Raikage still gasped. He thought, "Isn't it a bit too much for her to be sitting here and conducting research on this, which is contributing to global warming?"

"The injury is very strange, it doesn't look like an external injury, but I'm sure my conclusion is correct, this arm is beyond saving."

Tsunade put down her scalpel and calmly looked at the Fourth Raikage, whose expression was somewhat unnatural. The Fourth Raikage remained silent for a long time after receiving her gaze before continuing:

"I encountered Obito Uchiha. That guy had Sasuke Uchiha attack Kumogakure just to train his abilities. That guy was very strong, no, he was terrifying. I, who am skilled in taijutsu, couldn't budge him an inch, while he just casually used his strength and my arm was crippled."

The Fourth Raikage's voice was somewhat low. Even now, recalling what happened back then still sent chills down his spine. If it weren't for Killer Bee, he certainly wouldn't have allowed the Hidden Cloud Village to continue getting involved in this matter.

Even if all the ninjas of Kumogakure joined forces, they might not be a match for Obito Uchiha alone; such power was truly despair-inducing.

"It seems that when analyzing Obito Uchiha's combat strength, we also need to add his irresistible taijutsu. To be honest, I still haven't found any way to defeat Obito Uchiha. His unparalleled genjutsu, his unimaginable ninjutsu, plus his despair-inducing taijutsu... I really can't see any hope of success."

Tsunade spoke with a hint of helplessness. The Fourth Raikage, who had only intended to leak some information, felt that something was amiss. He knew what was going on with Obito Uchiha's unimaginable ninjutsu and taijutsu, but he really had no experience with the subsequent genjutsu. Could it be that when Obito invaded Kumogakure last time, he didn't use his own power at all?

"Once the Five Kage Summit begins, you'll know just how despairing Obito Uchiha truly is. He can even be seen as a replica of Madara Uchiha. No, to be precise, Konoha is basically certain that Obito Uchiha is Madara Uchiha's successor, and the leader of Akatsuki should be the one who inherits Madara Uchiha's legacy."

Noticing that the Raikage seemed a bit confused, Tsunade casually explained that the Raikage, who had initially only felt that Obito Uchiha was a bit difficult to deal with, suddenly realized that dealing with Obito Uchiha and the Akatsuki organization was a mistake in itself. He was basically useless now, and if he couldn't find Hiroji in a short time, he would probably have to hand over the position to the Fifth Raikage.

But at this very moment, we learned that the target of the Five Kage Summit was Madara Uchiha's successor. Speaking of which, wasn't Madara Uchiha killed by Hashirama Senju?

How could there be an heir, and why is Obito Uchiha still so young? What exactly happened?

Is this information accurate?

The Fourth Raikage asked incredulously, after all, Madara Uchiha's reputation was simply too terrifying. He was someone that even the Five Kage combined might not be able to defeat, let alone the fact that the Five Kage seemed to have some issues with their strength now.

"The elder who used the Flying Thunder God Technique was in charge of handling this matter at the time, while Hongzhi was in charge of testing and verifying the important data. At least most of it can be guaranteed to be correct. As for the last few things, there was no time to hand them over!"

Tsunade spoke slowly, and the Fourth Raikage's lips twitched. He seemed to have underestimated the Akatsuki and Obito Uchiha!
