The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

However, obtaining the Rinnegan and becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki is essential; otherwise, how can one sever the causal bonds of the world and create a world with Rin?

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

"You can try opening your eyes now."

Inside the Konoha Hospital, the shadow clone calmly spoke to Hiashi Hyuga in front of him, saying that after the shadow clone stayed behind to deal with the casualties in Konoha, it would help the Hyuga clan obtain a new pair of eyes.

The first to be dealt with will definitely be the high-ranking members of the Hyuga clan. They need eyes to handle the various affairs of the Hyuga clan in an orderly manner, since many Hyuga clan ninjas are still living in that false dream.

Hiashi Hyuga opened his eyes. Unlike his previous Byakugan, his eyes were now the same black color as an ordinary person's. After all, Hijiri still couldn't create a bloodline limit. Even the Hyuga clan, which had transplanted Hashirama's cells, couldn't cultivate a completely new Byakugan.

Just as the Uchiha clan was unable to cultivate a true Sharingan, this also means that the Hyuga clan has no chance of restoring its original strength.

Without the Byakugan's ability to perceive the flow of ninja chakra, the Gentle Fist technique, which they were so proud of, was half useless, which was equivalent to directly severing the foundation of the entire Hyuga clan.

The shadow clone didn't care about this matter at all; it was only staying here to help out of boredom.

"You discovered the butterfly markings back then?"

After adjusting to the new perspective, Hiashi Hyuga calmly asked, "Although this is just a simple shadow clone, the shadow clone definitely knows what the original body knows."

You can understand it that way.

The shadow clone answered casually, not caring what Hiashi Hyuga was thinking. As long as the Hyuga clan's bloodline remained, Kaguya Otsutsuki could be resurrected.

Therefore, there is no need to worry that the Hyuga clan will prevent the Otsutsuki clan from being resurrected. As for other situations, once the Infinite Tsukuyomi begins, regardless of whether they are descendants of the Otsutsuki clan, they will all be hanging on the tree.

Why didn't you point this out back then?

Hiashi Hyuga asked, puzzled, "If we had discovered this earlier, the Hyuga clan might have been able to adapt to the situation sooner."

"The entire Leaf Village is covered in butterfly marks, so what's the point of pointing them out?"

The shadow clone asked a question in return, and then directly signaled Hiashi Hyuga to leave. There were still many members of the Hyuga clan who wanted to obtain all two eyes, and it would take at least ten days to heal them, since there was only one shadow clone left in Konoha.

"No matter what, thank you for taking care of me."

After leaving those words, Hiashi Hyuga turned and left. Regardless of what lay ahead, the fact that the Hyuga clan could see the light again was all thanks to Hijiri.

The shadow clone remained silent. Soon after Hiashi Hyuga left, other Hyuga members entered the area, preparing to regain their eyes.

Surprisingly, the person who came here this time was Hyuga Neji. It is clear that because of this incident, he has become the only member of the Hyuga clan whose strength may not be affected.

It's not that Hyuga Neji can retain his original power, but rather that the changes in his physique and the loss of his Byakugan can basically cancel each other out. He is the only member of the Hyuga clan who still has the potential to become an elite Jonin.

After losing the Byakugan, it's practically a pipe dream for the Hyuga clan to have elite Jonin in a short time. Even Hyuga Neji would need a long time to adapt to his new body and eyes.

Looking at Hyuga Neji lying on the operating table, the shadow clone felt somewhat surprised, not because of anything else, but because there was still a seal on this guy that had not been lifted, which the shadow clone found incomprehensible.

Although these seals will not affect Hyuga Neji's battle, it will be impossible for him to accumulate chakra.

The shadow clone hesitated for a moment, but still released the seal on Hyuga Neji. Since it wouldn't have any impact, it could be considered a good deed.

The seal was broken very secretly, and Neji Hyuga didn't even feel it, but his strength would be enhanced in an unimaginable way.

Helping the Hyuga clan regain their eyes is no easy task, but for Shadow Clones, it's a waste of time anyway.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, who had just attended the Five Kage Summit, returned in a flurry. She was quite surprised to see that Konoha had not suffered any major losses, but after hearing about Hiroji and Orochimaru's situation...

Tsunade's expression became incredibly complex, especially after hearing that the two had left. For a moment, Tsunade didn't know what to say.

But the troublesome issues didn't end there. After meeting Jiraiya, Tsunade remained silent for a long time. She knew who the leader of Akatsuki was, but this was not a good thing for Konoha. The leader of Akatsuki was actually Jiraiya's student.

If other ninja villages find out about this, it will likely affect the joint operation of the five great ninja villages. In addition, the alliance between Danzo and Hanzo has also secured Akatsuki's headquarters, which is not good news for Konoha.

Although it could be said that Danzo was behind it, Konoha was actually the one who suffered.

After the five great ninja villages successfully defeated the Akatsuki, it will likely be Konoha that faces difficulties from the other four great ninja villages.

"I plan to go to Amegakure to see the Akatsuki organization in detail."

Jiraiya, standing in the Hokage's office, gazed in the direction of Amegakure. This was not only to obtain specific information about the Akatsuki, but more importantly, to find out what exactly happened back then.

Danzo's scroll contained only a simple sentence: if they could figure out the background of the Akatsuki organization and the specific goals of collecting the Tailed Beasts, it would definitely be a good thing for the five great ninja villages that were about to take action.

"No, that's too dangerous!"

Tsunade directly rejected Jiraiya's suggestion. According to the information obtained from Konoha, if the six puppets joined forces, Jiraiya, who had lost the help of Mount Myōboku, would not be able to resist them. Moreover, the Akatsuki organization clearly had more people.

"We have to go, even if it's dangerous. If those guys move out beforehand, we'll be searching for them like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

Jiraiya never looked back. Although it was certain that the Akatsuki's headquarters were in Amegakure, this was only temporary. As time passed, the Akatsuki could withdraw from Amegakure and continue to lurk in the ninja world.

At that point, all the hard-earned information will be useless, and the five great ninja villages will be led by the nose again.

"I disagree!"

Tsunade knew all this, but she still refused Jiraiya.

Upon hearing this, Jiraiya turned around with a relieved smile, then turned into a cloud of smoke.

"asshole!"

Tsunade was taken aback at first, then slumped into her chair.

Chapter 430 How did you end up here?

"Assemble the ninja and head to the outskirts of the Land of Rain. Also, inform the other four great ninja villages that the Akatsuki's base is in Amegakure!"

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade, who had recovered, calmly pointed to the map and said something. Kakashi and Shikaku Nara, who were standing there, were both a little surprised. They had set off before the information was even confirmed, which was really a bit too hasty.

But considering the current situation, it's better to have incorrect intelligence than to let the Akatsuki escape due to a lack of timely action.

Jiraiya was sent to gather intelligence. If the loss were to occur in Amegakure, the final outcome would be unacceptable to Konoha.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Nara Shikaku prepared to take action. Although Konoha had just experienced a war, they could not stop now, as the Akatsuki organization was far too dangerous.

"Oh, by the way, tell those guys that Hongzhi's shadow clones can go with Konoha."

Tsunade added, and Nara Shikaku nodded without saying anything. Although the Five Kage Summit ended well, the process in between was extremely bloody.

With the Raikage crippled, the Mizukage injured, and the Tsuchikage's granddaughter paralyzed from the waist down, the existence of Hiroji's shadow clone is nothing short of a blessing, capable of easily granting the Alliance immense power.

"Hongzhi and Orochimaru seem to be plotting something, and we are very likely to clash with their actions."

After Nara Shikaku left, Kakashi looked at Tsunade in front of him and said calmly that when the two of them left, they were basically revealing their hand, looking down on Konoha's strength.

"No matter what, Akatsuki and Obito Uchiha must be eliminated. As for the specifics, we need to meet them to make a judgment."

Tsunade was also somewhat worried about this, since Koji had left in the first place to study what the myriad phenomena of the universe truly were.

Tsunade originally thought that guy would go to find Obito Uchiha, but in the end he joined forces with Orochimaru. Although he briefly helped Konoha, Konoha had no idea what they were researching, and they didn't even know whether they were friend or foe.

"clear."

Kakashi nodded and left immediately.

Back in Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki was still training. This time, he was training in Wood Release. Originally, he wanted to develop Wind Release, but after experimenting, he completely went astray. He had the power of a bloodline limit within him but didn't develop it. Instead, he studied Wind Release. That meant he had something wrong with his brain.

The most suitable path is to first master one's own power before studying other powers. However, Naruto Uzumaki did not choose this path himself, so the current situation is rather awkward and incongruous.

The shadow clone healed Naruto's injuries and left the Flying Thunder God seal. Once the Two-Tails was sealed, it used the Flying Thunder God to take Naruto away.

This is Hongzhi's plan. As for whether it will succeed, that's not a question. It's impossible for a mere nine-tailed fox to turn the world upside down.

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

In the woods outside Amegakure, at least a kilometer away, Jiraiya dared not proceed any further. It wasn't that he had discovered any trace of the Akatsuki, but rather that Amegakure ninjas and civilians were fleeing the village one after another.

Although he didn't know the specifics, Jiraiya was certain that it would be impossible for him to go against the flow of people and enter Amegakure at this time.

Moreover, after entering Amegakure, he had no chance to hide, but at this point there was actually no need to enter Amegakure anymore.

This matter is unusual in itself. The ninjas of Amegakure could not have left without a reason. Although the five great ninja villages have united, Amegakure only needs to ensure that there is no Akatsuki base there, and then it will definitely not be attacked by the alliance.

In other words, these people had no reason to escape, which is normal under normal circumstances, but the scene here is very unusual, which is basically an admission of guilt.

Jiraiya didn't know what this meant, but there were probably a few possibilities: either the Akatsuki was here, or something had happened inside Amegakure.

The possibility that the Akatsuki organization is located here is actually quite high, after all, the Akatsuki is the only organization in the entire ninja world that has experienced a major upheaval.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this was deliberately orchestrated by the Akatsuki organization in order to divert the attention of the five great ninja villages.

However, another possibility is that Hanzo, the pillar of Amegakure, has died. Konoha has no information about this. If Hanzo has died, such a change in Amegakure is understandable, though it is somewhat exaggerated.

"There's definitely something wrong with Amegakure..."

Jiraiya thought to himself that he should find another place to infiltrate Amegakure. Although Amegakure was currently in a state of disarray, as long as he could blend in, he could leave immediately even if he made a commotion.

As dusk fell, a figure slowly emerged from a river in Amegakure. Even without the help of the toads of Mount Myōboku, it would have been far too easy for Jiraiya to infiltrate this place.

However, somewhat awkwardly, before Jiraiya could do anything, he noticed someone admiring the scenery not far away.

The key point is that Jiraiya knew this person.

"How will you be here?"

On the shore at dusk, Jiraiya looked at the elder he had only seen once since leaving Konoha, feeling somewhat incredulous.

"To be entrusted by someone to prevent anyone from going to the center in this direction before something is verified."

The shadow clone looked at Jiraiya in front of him with a very calm tone. In this battle that might be the last, Hiroji naturally wanted to have some fun, and it didn't seem like a problem to let a shadow clone use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Upon receiving this answer, Jiraiya sensed something was amiss; this statement was enough to confirm that the Akatsuki organization was in Amegakure.

After all, this elder, who has helped Konoha a lot, is now wearing the Akatsuki uniform.

"What exactly does the Akatsuki want? Or rather, what exactly do you want?"

Jiraiya asked calmly. If he hadn't been unaware of the danger, he would have already escaped, but considering the speed of the Flying Thunder God Technique, the possibility of escape was relatively small.

"To verify the source of the Sage of Six Paths' power, and to find out whether he is the source of chakra."

The shadow clone casually replied that since Jiraiya entered Amegakure, he could be sentenced to death.

Saying anything to the dead won't affect the situation. There are guards on every road leading to Nagato's location. Even if the Five Kage are right behind Jiraiya, Nagato won't die unless the Ten-Tails is resurrected.

"Orochimaru is one of your people?"

While accumulating Sage Chakra, Jiraiya calmly asked, "The power Orochimaru used was undoubtedly the Sage Art of Ryuchi Cave. Jiraiya discovered traces of natural energy in the battle's aftermath."

Chapter 431 Now that we're here, why rush to leave?
