The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

If it weren't for the limited time tonight, Hiroji would definitely have sent his shadow clone to bring back some of Naruto's cells as well.

At that time, we might be able to directly study whether we can awaken the Rinnegan, but that's a bit unrealistic. Although we don't know Hiruzen Sarutobi's specific plans, there are only a few days left until he graduates from the Ninja Academy.

It's impossible for Naruto Uzumaki to steal the Scroll of Seals under normal circumstances. The only thing Hongzhi could think of was that Hiruzen Sarutobi held back, or maybe he let the sea go.

Thinking about it this way, Naruto's protection might be quite tight in the near future.

Mizuki was probably being watched by the Anbu from the very beginning; it wouldn't be a problem for the Anbu to keep an eye on a Chunin.

"I hope everything goes well."

As Hongzhi was thinking this, Danzo, who was standing next to him, subconsciously looked over, but before he could even think, he was slapped by the shadow clone that had been there for a long time.

"Behave yourself."

A cold, hoarse voice came through, and Danzo felt incredibly humiliated. But if he resisted now, he could only perform a head-disappearing technique, which wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

For that sliver of hope, Danzo ultimately held back, even though Orochimaru might already be on his way to the Root base.

However, Danzo's idea was destined not to come true. With so many shadow clones, ANBU, and ordinary ninjas strolling around the back mountains of Konoha, Orochimaru would definitely not come out to take risks.

The shadow clones in the back mountains of Konoha probably knew where Orochimaru might be hiding, but their mission was to stall for time in the back mountains of Konoha and try to attract all attention.

Under such circumstances, the shadow clones would definitely not actively seek out Orochimaru, and the atmosphere in the back mountain has clearly changed since the members of the Anbu returned to share information.

The original goal of finding the intruder has turned into digging up the ground, or in other words, digging three feet into the ground to find Orochimaru.

The incident was started by the shadow clones, and the ANBU, unsure whether the enemy had escaped, could only follow the group.

Of course, some of them had already followed the possible escape route of the invaders, but obviously no one noticed the crevice between the cliffs.

Escape would be difficult given the terrain; after all, jumping down would still leave you behind Konoha, making it impossible to leave by simply following the flow of the terrain.

It is precisely because of this that Orochimaru and his secret laboratory have not yet been discovered by Konoha's Anbu, though it is only a matter of time before they are discovered under such a search.

Shadow clones certainly wouldn't intentionally search that area; it's more reliable to have the Anbu confront Orochimaru.

Four shadow clones, disguised as spies of Kumogakure, stealthily made their way towards the Uchiha clan's territory under the cover of night.

Most of the Anbu have now been relocated to areas closer to the back mountain, which gives them a perfect opportunity to raid the Uchiha clan's territory.

The defense of Konoha is a mystery, not to mention how easy it was for those famous ninjas to infiltrate.

In the original work, Maki of Sunagakure was even able to openly discuss with Kabuto Yakushi how to destroy Konoha under the moonlight, and even kill the ANBU member called Hayate Gekko before leaving in style.

This puzzled Hiroji, not to mention that when the Fourth Hokage was still young, spies from Kumogakure were able to kidnap a reserve Jinchuriki without anyone noticing...

Putting aside other matters, the fact that Orochimaru's Sound Village quartet was able to beat up Sasuke on Konoha's territory and kidnap him is somewhat puzzling.

One or two times might be an accident, but for Konoha, there seem to be too many accidents. Of course, there might have been times when all the personnel were transferred out, but under the current circumstances, Konoha doesn't have many personnel left.

At this point, although we can't take Uchiha Sasuke away directly as an experimental subject, obtaining some blood and cells shouldn't be a problem.

Four "Kumakushi Village spies" easily infiltrated the vast Uchiha clan territory. Although it had shrunk a bit due to the destruction of the Uchiha clan, it was still a large place.

The shadow clone headed straight for Sasuke Uchiha's residence. As for why it knew Sasuke's location so clearly, it was because the clan head's house was quite luxurious.

Chapter 69 You Cover the Rear

Although the Uchiha clan's territory was uninhabited, it still looked relatively clean, so it's possible that Sasuke Uchiha was cleaning it out of boredom.

But it's obviously unlikely that this is the case. The guy who only wants to kill his only brother and become an orphan is unlikely to do that. He probably prefers training to such things.

However, that matter was no longer important, as the four shadow clones quickly reached the courtyard where Uchiha Sasuke lived.

Based on its senses, the shadow clone could clearly determine that a ninja was sleeping soundly on the second floor of the room.

Without a doubt, this person is Uchiha Sasuke, after all, apart from him, there is no one else alive in the Uchiha clan, at least not in Konoha.

Rather than calling the Uchiha clan Konoha, it would be better to call them the Uchiha clan of Akatsuki, since there are more people there: Itachi Uchiha on the surface, Obito Uchiha in the shadows, and Madara Uchiha waiting to be resurrected by the Sage of Six Paths.

However, this matter was not particularly important. After confirming Uchiha Sasuke's location, the four shadow clones used the Body Flicker Technique to silently arrive on the second floor.

One of the shadow clones tried to push the window open, but when it couldn't be opened, it had to resort to a rather crude method to get inside.

Using White Lightning under such circumstances is definitely not ideal, since the Uchiha clan's territory is practically pitch black. Using White Lightning would undoubtedly be like a guiding light in the darkness.

It sounds good, but for a spy, it's a death sentence.

Moreover, the purpose of the shadow clones was still Uchiha Sasuke's cells and blood; as for pinning the blame on Kumogakure, that was just a side effect.

If you haven't completed the most basic tasks, you definitely need to be more careful.

Even if the White Lightning couldn't be used, a shadow clone couldn't possibly be blocked by a piece of glass; that's clearly unrealistic.

A shadow clone gathered chakra at its fingertips and then casually drew a circle on the window.

Click~

A crisp sound came, and although it was very noticeable to the shadow clones, it was barely a sound to Sasuke Uchiha, who was already asleep.

After a hole appeared, the shadow clone reached into it and opened the window.

Four shadow clones arrived at Sasuke Uchiha's side at top speed. Without any hesitation, regardless of whether the person sleeping there was actually Sasuke Uchiha, they used chakra scalpels to sever the nerves in his spine.

Feeling the pain, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes. He tried to get up, but found that apart from his head, the rest of his body seemed to be disconnected, and no matter how hard he tried to resist, there was no response.

"You are...Kumakuya!"

Having discovered this, Sasuke Uchiha used his sharp eyes to scan the area and determine the number and strength of the enemy.

"Isn't this obvious? You idiot."

Upon hearing Sasuke Uchiha's words, one of the shadow clones casually picked up a pillowcase and blindfolded Sasuke.

While this technique has little effect on the Byakugan, it does have some effect on the Uchiha clan, at least in terms of blocking their vision.

After being blindfolded, Sasuke Uchiha clearly tried to struggle, but a current of electricity quickly washed over his entire head.

The paralysis began to take effect, and Sasuke Uchiha lost most of his abilities, leaving him helpless and at the mercy of others, like a lab rat.

He couldn't even sense what was happening around him, but the remaining will made Uchiha Sasuke feel that he was very likely to be kidnapped. As for where the specific target would be?

Judging from their headbands, it's clear they're from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

Uchiha Sasuke didn't know what awaited him, but it certainly wouldn't be a good outcome...

Seeing that Sasuke Uchiha had lost consciousness, two shadow clones began to stand guard, while the remaining two shadow clones began to collect Sasuke Uchiha's blood.

A blood-drawing device was wrapped around Uchiha Sasuke's right arm. One person was responsible for drawing blood, while another person was responsible for sealing the collected blood in a scroll.

The process only stopped when Sasuke Uchiha's face turned noticeably pale.

In the final moments, Sasuke Uchiha's right thumb and middle finger were cut off with a chakra scalpel and sealed together in a scroll.

The Healing Palm Technique healed Sasuke Uchiha's wounds, and then the shadow clone responsible for sealing the scroll placed it directly under Sasuke's pillow.

This is the minimum guaranteed income. If the group doesn't have the chance to cut off Uchiha Sasuke's entire right arm on their way to escape Konoha, they can only settle for getting some cells and blood.

Sasuke Uchiha, who was in a paralyzed state, had no idea what was happening. Pain was not being transmitted to his brain, and his vision was also sealed.

The only sense of smell that might detect blood was also severely affected by the electric shock. When his finger was cut off, the wound was treated promptly, so the smell of blood was minimal. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Uchiha Sasuke could even react.

As a result, Sasuke Uchiha ended up in this grotesque state in a daze. Then, a shadow clone carried Sasuke and began to retreat through the Uchiha clan's territory towards the walls surrounding Konoha...

Of course, even if an invasion occurs, Konoha would certainly not remove the barrier that should have been there. In addition, since the purpose of this matter was to draw Konoha's attention, the shadow clones naturally needed to reveal some flaws.

If Sasuke Uchiha had completely disappeared, regardless of whether the specific clues pointed to Kumogakure, Hiruzen Sarutobi would probably have gone to Root to check it out. After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't have been unaware of Danzo's collection of Sharingan on the night of the massacre.

A shadow clone carried Sasuke Uchiha, who was wrapped in a bed sheet, running at the front, with three shadow clones protecting him from behind.

This setup was quite impressive. Of course, because the shadow clones didn't intentionally hide their tracks, the ANBU stationed here still managed to discover them.

Of course, this was bound to be discovered, after all, carrying someone and trying to leave from here openly showed a complete disregard for Konoha's Anbu.

Faced with this situation, the Anbu would certainly not communicate amicably. Just as they were about to continue forward carrying the shadow clone of Uchiha Sasuke, several kunai flew directly from a nearby tree.

Fortunately, the shadow clone used the Body Flicker Technique, which prevented the kunai from hitting. But as soon as the kunai's attack ended, eight ANBU surrounded them from all sides.

"Tch...we've been discovered after all! You guys cover our retreat!"

The lead shadow clone moved at full speed towards the outskirts of Konoha without any hesitation.

Chapter 70 If you can't have it, then destroy it.

The Dark Division reacted immediately, but just as they were about to intercept them, three other shadow clones, who were originally far away, blocked the six Dark Division members.

This essentially blocked the path for the secret agents to continue their interception. The remaining two secret agents had no choice but to pursue them if they wanted to intercept them.

The final result was that two members of the Anbu directly pursued the remaining six Anbu members, while the others began to fight against the Shadow Clone.

The shadow clone carrying Uchiha Sasuke glanced instinctively at the Anbu behind him before leaving Konoha. The Anbu naturally gave chase without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, the two ANBU members exchanged a glance. One of them immediately stopped, took out a signal flare, and knew that ANBU patrolled outside Konoha as well. Requesting backup at this moment was undoubtedly the simplest and most effective method.

As the white signal flare soared into the sky, the once pitch-black forest was instantly illuminated, and at the same time, all the Konoha ninjas in the surrounding area moved toward this direction.

The launch of the signal flare meant that Konoha's reinforcements would arrive soon; in other words, the Shadow Clones didn't have much time left.

"Oops!"

The three shadow clones, still entangled with the Dark Division, looked at the rising signal flare with somewhat unnatural expressions.

The ANBU ninjas were naturally overjoyed to see this, as it meant that the Cloud Village spy in front of them had no way out.

However, just as they were about to press their advantage, the shadow clones, who had been barely able to put up a fight, suddenly began to condense blue lightning chakra in their hands.

A piercing sound came from the shadow clone's hand, and the previously confident Anbu were immediately stunned.

Isn't this Kakashi's signature ninjutsu?

How come spies from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) would also know this?

No one could answer their questions as the blue lightning pierced through the bodies of the six members of the Dark Guard with lightning speed.

The price was that both shadow clones had obvious wounds and were on the verge of extinction.

However, at this point, there was no need to continue. The three shadow clones dissipated immediately after killing the ANBU ninja.

As for why only the corpses of Anbu members were found at the scene, Konoha will surely come up with a reasonable explanation.

Meanwhile, at the Root base, Hiroji received the memories transmitted back by the shadow clone, and without any hesitation, a scroll that had been prepared beforehand was unfurled.

With the emergence of the spirit summoning spell, a scroll was summoned directly, thus securing the guaranteed income.
