The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Kakashi, feeling like he had several broken ribs, looked at Sakura Haruno's resolute face and said somewhat awkwardly, "This time, only Sakura Haruno was able to enter Amegakure among the twelve Konoha 12. Of course, this refers to those who entered normally."

The sudden appearance of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, who had already been captured and brought here, clearly meant that Naruto Uzumaki was dead, especially given the Ten-Tails' resurrection.

Kakashi was able to be controlled by Shisui Uchiha using Kotoamatsukami because of this. Unexpectedly, the first thing he did after waking up was to be severely injured by Sakura Haruno.

"Kakashi-sensei?!"

Noticing Kakashi's change, Sakura Haruno subconsciously asked, "When Kakashi was controlled, Might Guy didn't notice in time and was hit by the Lightning Blade. If it weren't for the timely treatment, he probably would have died."

Seeing Kakashi return to normal, Sakura Haruno was naturally extremely wary. What if this was a deliberate slip-up?

"If you don't want to see Sasuke's body, go and provide support over there as soon as possible!"

Kakashi looked at Sakura Haruno and said calmly, "If Shisui Uchiha keeps stacking genjutsu, he won't be able to break free. And now that Shisui Uchiha isn't here, the only possibility is that he went to Sasuke's side."

"Yes!"

Upon being alerted, Sakura Haruno ran straight towards that direction, while Nozomi, the medical ninja from Kumogakure, immediately began treating Kakashi.

When Sakura Haruno arrived at the area where Sasuke Uchiha and the Uchiha clan were fighting, all she saw was Sasuke's Kusanagi sword and the reanimated duo, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, who slowly turned around and stared at her.

"How could this be?!"

Sakura Haruno exclaimed in disbelief, "Sasuke Uchiha has disappeared! This is something I never expected, and there's a high probability he's been killed!"

"Don't space out."

While Sakura Haruno was stunned, Edo Itachi and Edo Shisui simultaneously conjured the Yasakani no Magatama and aimed it at her. Just then, a familiar voice came from afar, waking Sakura Haruno and giving her time to dodge the fatal attack.

Although she was inevitably affected by the explosion, it was still better than being blown to pieces. When Sakura Haruno slowly got up, she saw Naruto Uzumaki, who was covered in golden light.

Because the chakra of the nine tailed beasts and the fingers of the Gedo Mazo have all been fused into his bloodline, Naruto Uzumaki is now able to experience the Six Paths level skin ahead of time. Of course, his strength is definitely not at that level, since he doesn't have Truth-Seeking Balls.

"You're still alive?"

After recognizing Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno was half surprised and half wary. Putting aside his current state, the fact that he was still alive after the tailed beast was extracted was enough to make Sakura Haruno wary.

"I don't know why I'm still alive, but I feel full of energy."

Naruto Uzumaki turned around and smiled slightly, then looked at the resurrected duo again. Although Naruto didn't know what was going on, he was certain that they were the enemies.

How we survived can be discussed later; the most urgent task now is to deal with the enemy at hand!

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

"Finally awake? Then Obito Uchiha can prepare to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki!"

Having obtained Naruto Uzumaki's participation in the battle from controlling the Edo Tensei Itachi and Shisui's shadow clones, Hongzhi coldly looked at Uchiha Sasuke in front of him—or rather, Uchiha Sasuke's corpse. After having his soul extracted by Human Path Itachi Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke was undoubtedly dead.

However, it is very simple for him to be resurrected after dying like this: the human world can put his soul back in and he can come back to life, of course, only if the body is not dead.

Uchiha Sasuke undoubtedly meets the requirements, but now Hongzhi doesn't want to let him go. He still lacks the necessary conditions to awaken the Rinnegan and needs to be injected with Otsutsuki blood.

Besides, this guy's awakened Rinnegan is quite troublesome. Hongzhi doesn't want to play hide-and-seek with this guy in the end. It's better to do something. Moreover, this method needs to be secretive to prevent the Sage of Six Paths from discovering it.

It's a bit of a pity, really. Hongzhi originally thought that after such a big thing happened, the Sage of Six Paths would definitely extend the lives of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

But in reality, there was none. If it weren't for Hiroji, Naruto Uzumaki would have died without a doubt, and the same goes for Sasuke Uchiha now.

"As expected, I am your father!"

Hongzhi coldly stared at Uchiha Sasuke, the Holy Healing Flame slowly burning as proof of this!

Chapter 457 can finally begin!

The Holy Healing Flame burned slowly, and Sasuke Uchiha's face gradually contorted. When the last flame went out, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly opened his eyes and instinctively touched them.

For some unknown reason, chakra was involuntarily gathering towards his eyes, a phenomenon that made Uchiha Sasuke feel somewhat fearful.

"That's proof that you're about to awaken the Rinnegan. When your eyes stop absorbing chakra on their own, you're not far from awakening the Rinnegan!"

Hongzhi's calm voice came from the side, and Uchiha Sasuke looked over there with a wary expression.

Upon seeing that it was Hongzhi, Uchiha Sasuke's expression became unusually splendid. He saw Hongzhi's face, but heard the voice of the mysterious person from the base.

He had always believed that the mysterious person was Obito Uchiha, but the reality he was in now told him that the mysterious person was actually a medical ninja he had known for a long time.

"Why did you have the Sharingan in the first place?!"

Recalling his past experiences, Sasuke Uchiha narrowed his eyes. If he didn't get a satisfactory answer, he wouldn't mind letting this guy who had cheated before taste what the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was like.

"I just saved you, and the first thing you ask when you wake up is this kind of question. It's really disappointing."

Hongzhi shook his head, then glanced at Itachi, the Human Path, who was standing to the side. The next second, Sasuke Uchiha felt the familiar cold, and the intense pain in his body came again, almost causing Sasuke Uchiha to faint on the spot.

It wasn't that Sasuke Uchiha couldn't withstand the pain, but rather that Itachi, the Human Path, directly extracted more than half of Sasuke's soul. To put it bluntly, if he had exerted even a little more force, the newly resurrected Sasuke would have died again.

And it was the same way he died just now.

"Since you want to hear it, I don't mind telling you that the Sharingan originally came from Uchiha Obito, the guy who controls the Ten-Tails now."

I retrieved the Mangekyou Sharingan that originally belonged to Obito Uchiha from him and Kakashi respectively, and then retrieved Shisui Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan from Itachi Uchiha and Danzo Uchiha.

Finally, using some special methods, the two Mangekyou Sharingan were fused together to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan...

Hongzhi spoke calmly, but just as he finished speaking, Uchiha Sasuke completely fainted. Upon seeing this, Hongzhi instructed Human Path Itachi to stop absorbing Uchiha Sasuke's soul.

A moment later, Uchiha Sasuke slowly woke up, only to be met with Hiroji's disappointed face.

"I only decided to tell you out of a lot of compassion, and you just fainted. I'm really disappointed..."

When Hongzhi's somewhat sorrowful words came, Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously stepped back, even though he looked extremely disheveled, he wanted to get completely away from Hongzhi.

Judging from the exchange just now, Sasuke Uchiha has realized that this person is not the gentle medical ninja in Konoha, nor the mysterious person who is willing to communicate with him politely, but a true demon. Perhaps this is the person's true nature.

The thought sent chills down Sasuke's spine. If that were true, it would mean that he had been under this madman's surveillance ever since he graduated from the Ninja Academy. That was terrifying.

Even just thinking about it made him feel cold all over.

"It seems you don't want to hear this, so let's go back to the previous question. I've given you everything you need to awaken the Rinnegan, so what about the Rinnegan you promised me?"

Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke had become obedient, Hongzhi casually asked, although he had already decided to wait until after defeating Otsutsuki Kaguya to take back Uchiha Sasuke's Rinnegan, but now he undoubtedly wanted Uchiha Sasuke to understand that he still owed something.

"Don't you already possess the Rinnegan? Or rather, the other Rinnegan that should have belonged to the Akatsuki leader is now in your possession."

Sasuke Uchiha calmly looked at Itachi Uchiha beside him. After learning the truth about Itachi Uchiha, he thought he would no longer be afraid of the shadows of the past. But today's experience was a slap in the face. He was only not afraid of the normal Itachi Uchiha.

Whether it was the reanimated Itachi Uchiha or this puppet Itachi, both filled Sasuke Uchiha with despair.

"That's not the same thing. It's something that Obito Uchiha and the Akatsuki owe me. It has nothing to do with you, Sasuke Uchiha."

Hongzhi smiled as he watched Uchiha Sasuke grow increasingly terrified. In truth, Hongzhi didn't want Uchiha Sasuke to do anything, but scaring him for now was still quite amusing. The next time they met would probably be when they faced Otsutsuki Kaguya.

"Forehead......"

Sasuke Uchiha was speechless, clearly unsure of what to say. Although what Hiroji said made a lot of sense, Sasuke Uchiha knew very well that if someone like him, who had been disguising himself from the very beginning, were given the Rinnegan, the impact on the ninja world would be far greater than that of Obito Uchiha.

"It's good that you still remember this. I hope you won't forget it when you get the Rinnegan."

Hongzhi coldly looked at Uchiha Sasuke, waved his hand, and directly had Human Path Itachi take Uchiha Sasuke away from here.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki have both appeared, and all the necessary conditions have been met, allowing Obito Uchiha to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. As for whether Madara Uchiha will have the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Black Zetsu, that has nothing to do with Hongzhi.

However, before that, we need to deal with Onoki's body. Reanimated ninjas will eventually be abandoned, but the puppet still needs to be properly preserved.

Although the Tenseigan can theoretically control an infinite number of puppets, it can actually only grant special abilities to six, which is what the Rinnegan calls the Six Paths.

The current configuration is still quite good.

Madara Uchiha of the Deva Path, Tsunade of the Preta Path, Jiraiya of the Animal Path, Itachi Uchiha of the Human Path, A of the Hell Path, and finally, Onoki could only become the Asura Path.

However, since this guy can fly, it seems quite reasonable for him to fly into the sky and launch Asura Path weapons.

After completing the Onoki puppet and the Impure World Reincarnation, Hiroji directly had Jiraiya's puppet summon it to the center of the battlefield.

On the battlefield where Obito Uchiha was initially slightly suppressed, the situation turned completely one-sided with the appearance of the reanimated ninjas and puppets controlled by shadow clones.

Kato Dan's spiritification technique was indeed powerful, but Nagato, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique, was able to use the Human Path's abilities to completely bind his soul.

This resulted in the reanimated ninjas losing the ability to interfere with Obito Uchiha, which undoubtedly gave Obito time to adapt to the power of the Rinnegan and the negative effects of the Ten-Tails.

"We can finally get ready to begin!"

Atop the Ten-Tails, sensing the changing battle situation, Obito Uchiha's lips curled into a slight smile!

Chapter 458 A Ruthless Demon

As Obito Uchiha spoke, the Ten-Tails began to roar wildly. Upon hearing this sound, Madara Uchiha, who had been sitting and chatting with Hashirama Senju, stood up abruptly.

"That guy's about to start!"

Although Madara Uchiha desperately wanted to stop Obito Uchiha right now, he knew that he was no match for Obito in his current state, and Hashirama Senju would not allow him to leave so easily.

"what?"

Hashirama Senju was clearly confused. Since being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, he hadn't received much information and had no way of knowing what Madara Uchiha was saying.

"The second Sage of Six Paths is about to appear!"

Madara Uchiha smiled as he looked at Hashirama Senju opposite him, then continued to sit in place. Black Zetsu was already preparing; when Obito Uchiha was weakened, that would be the time for him to be fully resurrected.

If Obito Uchiha could really activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, he could see what the world described by the Sage of Six Paths was all about. But if Obito's performance disappointed him, he would definitely try to take his place.

"what?!"

Hashirama Senju was truly shocked this time. The Sage of Six Paths was a legendary god who created the entire ninja world. Could it be that Obito Uchiha could become such a figure? Was this Madara Uchiha's scheme?

"You originally wanted to become the Sage of Six Paths?"

After calming down a bit, Hashirama Senju looked at Madara Uchiha in astonishment. Madara did not deny it; to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, one had to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, something he had to go through.

However, there's no point in saying all this now. The initiative is in Obito Uchiha's hands. If Obito Uchiha really succeeds, he can only be a spectator.

Obito Uchiha slowly formed hand seals above the Ten-Tails' head. Minato Namikaze, noticing something was wrong, immediately prepared to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, but before he could even begin, he was frozen in place by the reanimated Nagato.

On the other side, Tobirama Senju was also completely under the watchful eyes of Madara Uchiha and the other six Paths of Pain. Under such circumstances, no one could stop Obito Uchiha from forming hand seals.

Naruto Uzumaki warily observed the two reanimated ninjas in front of him. Since his appearance, both Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha had stopped moving, which made Naruto Uzumaki feel that something was wrong.

But he had no idea what had happened. He only remembered seeing members of the Akatsuki in the tent, and when he opened his eyes again, he was in a collapsed building in Amegakure. What had happened in between, and what the current situation was, Naruto was completely confused.

However, when the Ten-Tails' angry roar came, Naruto Uzumaki clearly felt his chakra fluctuate, and even his emotions were slowly affected.

Naruto Uzumaki subconsciously looked towards the center of Amegakure. It was at this moment that Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei, disappeared and reappeared in front of Sakura Haruno!
