The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hongzhi nodded helplessly, still somewhat resentful about being woken up in the middle of the night.

"do not know."

The medical ninjas, who had originally thought that Hiroji, as Kudo Yuya's apprentice, might have some inside information, shook their heads helplessly after hearing this.

They also felt somewhat bewildered. Konoha Hospital usually had days off, so unless it was wartime, they would not be able to see so many colleagues at the same time.

"Then we'll just have to wait for the teacher."

Hongzhi felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't say much. Although it was most likely because of Kakashi Hatake, Hongzhi wouldn't reveal any flaws.

Meanwhile, in the dean's office, Kudo Yuuya, the dean of Konoha Hospital, was not sitting in his seat, but standing to the side.

In the seat that was originally hers sat an old man with furrowed brows and wearing a Hokage hat. This was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been woken up by the Anbu in the middle of the night.

He was initially somewhat dissatisfied with the Anbu's actions, but after hearing the Anbu's report, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately lost his composure.

Kakashi Hatake, the only ninja in Konoha who can currently use the Sharingan, was attacked and had his Sharingan stolen!

This information made it impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to calm down. Although Kakashi only had one Sharingan, his Sharingan was no weaker than that of an average Uchiha, and was even much stronger.

He originally wanted Kakashi to personally teach Sasuke Uchiha how to use the Sharingan, but now it seems that teaching him shouldn't be a problem, since Kakashi is the only one in Konoha who understands the Sharingan.

However, it remains to be seen how strong Kakashi will become after losing one of his Sharingan eyes. Kakashi's reputation in the ninja world over the years is precisely because of his Sharingan.

It's hard to imagine whether he would be devastated without the Sharingan, after all, the secret of that Sharingan is quite touching.

Are you confident?

Shaking his head to stop thinking about the Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Yuuya Kudo in front of him, hoping to get a positive answer.

Chapter 45 First Case of Survival and Regeneration

Even after losing his Sharingan, Kakashi, as an elite Jonin of Konoha, was still among the strongest in the village.

Under these circumstances, Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely needed to find a way to restore Kakashi's strength, even though he didn't know what to do at first.

After all, Konoha didn't have such methods before, but fortunately, Kudo Yuuya mentioned the enhanced version of the regeneration technique that had been developed before.

Although this ninjutsu cannot be successfully performed by a single person, it can be modified from the previous regeneration technique to help Kakashi cultivate a brand new eye, which can then be transplanted and fused.

This is what Kudo Yuuya is thinking right now. Everyone knows that the so-called Sharingan is most likely not coming back, so naturally they won't consider giving the Sharingan to Kakashian again.

However, although Kudo Yuya proposed a solution, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still somewhat hesitant. The improved regeneration technique was only a theoretical possibility and had not yet been tested.

This still worried Hiruzen Sarutobi. Kakashi is currently considered one of Konoha's best players, and if something happens to Kakashi, Konoha's situation will be even more dangerous.

"As long as he's willing to cooperate, there shouldn't be any problems."

Kudo Yuya was very confident about this matter, and the "he" she mentioned was naturally Hiroji, the developer of the new version of the resurrection technique.

A person capable of developing a new version of the healing and regeneration technique participates in the modification and guidance of the original healing and regeneration technique.

There definitely won't be any problems at that time.

"I hope so."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and prepared to leave. After all, he wasn't a medical ninja, and too much intervention would only annoy people. Since that was the case, it was better to just wait for the final result.

After confirming that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the one in question, Yuya Kudo left the office immediately. Calling so many medical ninjas over certainly wasn't for a late-night chat.

The faster the healing and regeneration process is carried out, the better, which is why all these people were summoned in the middle of the night.

……

"What?! Kakashi's Sharingan was stolen?"

"Another spy from Kumogakure? After stealing the Byakugan, that guy's now eyeing the Sharingan!"

"What a despicable guy! Has he caught him yet?!"

After Kudo Yuuya explained the situation to the numerous medical ninjas, a heated discussion immediately ensued.

Standing to the side, Kudo Yuya's gaze wasn't on these people, but rather on Hiroji, who was standing to the side yawning.

Whether this matter can be accomplished depends on whether Hiroji is willing to help modify the technique of regeneration. Only if Hiroji agrees will Kakashi have a chance to obtain a brand new eye.

Do you have any thoughts?

Seeing that Hiroji didn't seem very enthusiastic, Kudo Yuya walked up to him and asked calmly.

"No."

Despite Kudo Yuya's sudden question, Hiroji remained as languid as ever.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Ever since Hongzhi started sending shadow clones here, in the eyes of outsiders, Hongzhi had changed from a positive and ambitious young man into a medical ninja who was just going through the motions.

Kudo Yuya, who had expected Hiroji to say something, sighed after receiving such a reply. However, she didn't say anything more, but turned to look at the other medical ninja and began to arrange the next task.

Seeing Kudo Yuya like this, Hiroji didn't know what to say. After experimentation, Hiroji's regeneration technique had been upgraded to Limit Break +3. Although his special ability hadn't increased, creating an eye was still a simple matter.

Furthermore, Hashirama's cells have gradually assimilated into his body, leading to a qualitative change in his chakra. Hiroji alone could easily cure Kakashi.

However, Hongzhi did not want to reveal too much of his strength, especially his chakra. For an ordinary ninja to increase his chakra, it takes a long time and effort. If Hongzhi's chakra increased so much in a short period of time, it would be obvious to anyone with eyes to see that there was something wrong.

Let's keep a low profile.

Without a doubt, Hiroji and Kudo Yuya were ultimately responsible for the most troublesome and important modification of the technique.

This is meaningless to Hongzhi, and of course he wouldn't do it intentionally to trick Kakashi, since Kakashi has excellent eyesight.

Having this eye in hand, in a sense, gives Hongzhi a way out. If there's really no way to activate the Rinnegan, he can simply gouge out one and hide inside the Kamui dimension.

Upon entering the treatment room specifically for performing regeneration techniques, Hiroji looked at the incantation on the ground and immediately began to study it. Kudo Yuya, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It took Hiroji a full six hours to complete the modification of the technique for treating regeneration, during which Kudo Yuya watched from the side the whole time.

After Hiroji stopped, Kudo Yuya left the treatment room immediately. The two did not exchange many words, partly because they did not know what to say, and partly because the modification of this technique still needed to be done carefully.

About fifteen minutes later, Kakashi Hatake was brought in, along with six good medical ninjas and Yuya Kudo, who had left earlier.

Kakashi Hatake has already been anesthetized, since keeping his eyes open would likely affect the progress of the surgery.

"Hongzhi, you will be in charge of the most important area."

Kudo Yuya gave an order and stood directly next to a spell that was more likely to be infused with palm magic, giving the most important position to Hiroji.

"Ok."

Hongzhi had no questions and went straight to the most important area to wait quietly.

Once everyone was in place, Kudo Yuya gave the order to begin, and then the light of the Palm Healing Technique emanated from seven directions throughout the treatment room.

After the Palm Healing Technique was injected into the spell, Hiroji clearly saw that the hair that was originally placed next to Kakashi was directly aroused and then began to transform.

This process doesn't take much time, about ten minutes, and the hair is directly transformed into a liquid cell.

Upon seeing the appearance of the liquid cells, Hongzhi began to inject chakra, using a technique to analyze the structure of Kakashi's eye cells, providing a guarantee for the stem cell transformation later.

This process was quite time-consuming; it took Hiroji a full hour to figure out the specific cellular structure of Kakashi's eyes.

However, in order for Kakashi's new eyes to be used perfectly, Hiroji specially analyzed Kakashi's optic nerve, since the previous method of digging out Kakashi's eyes was somewhat rough.

After completing all the preparations, Hongzhi directly instructed the liquid cells to begin differentiating towards the eyes.

In just half an hour, an eyeball with a segment of optic nerve appeared directly in front of everyone.

Upon seeing this, the medical ninjas who were still channeling the Palm Healing Technique all stopped.

Chapter 46 Just a loser

Once the eye is created, the regeneration process is complete; the next step is the transplantation surgery.

Because these eyes are derived from cells in Kakashi's body, there is no such thing as rejection.

The transplant surgery was naturally performed by Hongzhi, and the process took about ten minutes. When the light from the palm magic in Hongzhi's hand disappeared, it meant that the surgery was completely over.

Kakashi was pushed away, while Hiroji stood there quietly watching the dense array of healing and regeneration techniques. With this, Konoha's medical level would definitely be raised to a new level.

But it doesn't matter. The more this thing helps Konoha, the safer Hiroji will be, and the less likely he will be suspected when the spies from Kumogakure reappear.

The medical ninjas, who had been busy for ten hours, finally relaxed, though a few still had to deal with the backlog of work from the day.

However, it is peacetime now, so there won't be too many wounded, and we can still manage.

After quickly resolving his stomach issue, Hongzhi went to Kakashi's hospital room and quietly waited for Kakashi to wake up.

Although the healing and regeneration technique worked perfectly on him, Hongzhi still wanted to know if he could achieve that level of skill.

After Naruto Uzumaki obtained the Six Paths Yang Power, he was able to regenerate Kakashi's eyes instantly, and the principle should be the same as the Regeneration Technique.

If Kakashi's eyes can be used perfectly, it proves that Koji has already glimpsed a trace of the origin of the Six Paths Yang Power.

If this research continues, it may be possible to uncover the secrets of life force and thus master the true power of the Six Paths of Yang.

Even if I were to transplant a pair of Rinnegan, it wouldn't be a problem.

However, this is just speculation at the moment, and whether it can actually be done still requires a long period of research.

Putting everything else aside, continuing to replenish the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths is still essential.

Just then, Hiroji noticed that Kakashi's eyes trembled slightly, and even his fingers began to move.

Kakashi felt like he was having a very long dream. In the dream, his former best friend, Obito Uchiha, was cursing him and seemed extremely angry, while he could only listen meekly from the side.

Fortunately, the dream was just a dream, and Kakashi eventually had to wake up.

Kakashi's eyes snapped open, and he was greeted by a familiar ceiling. As a regular customer of Konoha Hospital, he had naturally been here many times.

"How is that possible!"

However, Kakashi soon noticed something unusual. He discovered that his field of vision was much wider than before, unlike when he could only use one eye.

He hadn't seen this kind of view in a long time; if he had to say, it had been more than a decade.

"It seems to be a success."

The moment he saw Kakashi open his eyes, Hiroji realized that all his previous worries had been in vain. There was nothing wrong with that eye, just as it had been with Kakashi for many years.

"You are?!"

Hearing the voice suddenly, Kakashi turned around. Even the head surgeon, Kudo Yuuya, wasn't 100% confident before the surgery, so why did this guy seem so confident?

"I'm just a loser. Your teacher will come to see you soon."
