The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

He was utterly powerless to resist, a feeling of helplessness washing over him. But even more terrifying than that was Uchiha Sasuke's resentment—resentment at his own weakness…

Under intense emotional turmoil, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes gradually changed, his pupils turning blood red, with four tomoe embedded in them, appearing unusually symmetrical.

With the activation of the two-tomoe Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha felt a powerful force gradually surging from his mind, and his surroundings became exceptionally clear.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke naturally knew what this meant, and he successfully awakened the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit—the Sharingan.

Meanwhile, outside the ward, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sensing an unusual chakra, looked at Sasuke Uchiha lying on the bed through the glass, his expression somewhat complicated.

The only thing that could cause Sasuke Uchiha to suddenly generate unusual chakra is probably a bloodline limit.

Although the reason why the Uchiha clan awakened their Sharingan is unknown, judging from Sasuke Uchiha's experience, it probably wasn't a good thing.

"Do you really have a way to restore his arms to normal?"

Stopping thinking about Uchiha Sasuke's problem, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Yuya Kudo, who had rushed over.

His purpose in coming here was for Uchiha Sasuke, even though Kakashi Hatake's eyes had already verified the success of the regeneration technique.

But according to the information he knew, Danzo later came to Konoha Hospital and left still missing an arm, which was really a pity.

This means that the technique of reviving and regenerating is still quite difficult, otherwise Danzo would definitely not want to continue to be in that grotesque state.

"The specific situation still needs to be studied and dealt with. If it is treated for three to five years, there should be no major problems."

Kudo Yuuya looked at Uchiha Sasuke's not-so-long hair and felt somewhat surprised. Although Konoha had a ninjutsu that could use chakra to increase hair length, Uchiha Sasuke was currently unable to form hand seals.

The only way to increase hair is through natural growth, and the amount of hair needed to restore an arm and a half is definitely not something that can be done in a short time.

"It's too long."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head with some regret. Three to five years is the best time for him to grow in strength. Should he wait three years before graduating from the Ninja Academy?

Wouldn't that put you at a significant disadvantage among your peers? Putting aside everything else, how can you accept that psychologically?

"Actually, there is another way. We can sacrifice the rest of Uchiha Sasuke's body first and focus on reviving his hands. Then he can increase his hair volume by forming hand seals, and all the problems will be solved. If Uchiha Sasuke can adapt to his arms and learn ninjutsu within ten days, he should be able to make it to the Ninja Academy graduation exam."

After seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude, Yuya Kudo proposed a rather risky method. The safest method, without a doubt, was to wait for the hair to grow back slowly.

This method is undoubtedly risky. If Uchiha Sasuke fails to learn that ninjutsu, it will take him three to five years to recover his legs.

"Let's speed things up as much as possible."

Ultimately, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not make a direct decision. He could only offer his suggestions. The choice of which method to use depended on the treatment plan of Konoha Hospital and Sasuke Uchiha's personal opinion.

However, he was still willing to offer that ninjutsu; it was just a ninjutsu, nothing particularly valuable.

Since it's been given, it's been given.

"I see."

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Yuuya Kudo nodded. Regardless of the method, a certain amount of preparation time was required. Putting aside everything else, the first thing that needed to be understood was Sasuke Uchiha's physical structure.

In the root laboratory.

Sasuke's stem cells are greedily absorbing the cells contained in Uchiha Shisui's blood. Thanks to the fusion effect of the Palm Healing Technique, this process is proceeding exceptionally smoothly.

After Sasuke's stem cell fusion was completed, Hiroji poured it into a nutrient solution on the side, where a regular single-tomoe Sharingan was present.

Judging from the number of tomoe, the owner of this Sharingan is a talented Uchiha boy.

It's a real shame that he was mercilessly killed by Itachi Uchiha.

If Sasuke's stem cells can fuse with this Sharingan to a certain extent, then the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan will not be a fantasy, but a possibility.

Chapter 73 We've Been Tricked

Hongzhi's experiment yielded very good results. Although the Sharingan was ultimately destroyed, the overall outcome was still quite positive.

That was just an ordinary Sharingan, while Hongzhi's target was Uchiha Shisui's eye. Sasuke's stem cells were a fusion of Uchiha Shisui's cells.

Under such circumstances, if Uchiha Shisui's right eye were to change, the change in his original eye would not occur.

Perhaps it was because both Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Shisui's cells were highly aggressive that the fusion speed of that Sharingan couldn't keep up with the invasion speed of Sasuke's stem cells.

In the end, it was completely ruined. However, if it were replaced with Uchiha Shisui's eyes, this problem would not have occurred at all. Compared to Sasuke's stem cells, this Sharingan can be considered an ally.

The fact that it will only slowly merge rather than be directly invaded undoubtedly signifies success.

This means that all you need to do is obtain Obito Uchiha's eyes and process them in the same way to unlock the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Of course, this is based on understanding how the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is fused.

Sasuke Uchiha, the only one in the ninja world who might awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, has just been brought to Konoha Hospital by Hiroji himself.

It can be said to be extremely tragic, which also means that it is difficult for Hongzhi to unlock the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Putting everything else aside, the Sharingan in the hands of Obito Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha are things they both need to obtain.

Neither of them is easy to deal with, but the latter can be countered by using Uchiha Sasuke.

These are not things to consider right now. Hongzhi just wants to wait until Uchiha Shisui's right eye and Sasuke's stem cells have fused to a certain extent before transplanting it directly.

This process is quite lengthy, and the Sharingan is of paramount importance. Hiroji's main body needs to keep a close eye on it for a long time, which means that the shadow clones that were sent out cannot be dispelled for the time being.

After all, Hongzhi needs to keep using the Palm Immortal Technique to fuse the cells, and the subtle effects after the Shadow Clone is dispelled could very well lead to failure.

Hongzhi was naturally able to distinguish between primary and secondary matters.

This caused great hardship for the Anbu members still in the back mountains and Orochimaru, who was temporarily lying low. The Root members continued to search the back mountains, and even if the Anbu captain wanted to announce the end of the mission, he had to wait for the right opportunity.

Under the current circumstances, we certainly can't give the root forces an excuse to do anything, so all they can do is continue to linger here.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru was getting a bit bored in Hongzhi's original laboratory. He had limited information and wanted more complete information, so he needed to ask the person involved.

Orochimaru wanted to talk to Danzo again. Although he didn't get any results last time, Orochimaru was confident that he could get Danzo to cooperate with him this time. Danzo probably also wanted to know who had attacked him!

However, what Orochimaru did not expect was that the entire back mountain of Konoha was still filled with a large number of Anbu members. Although there might be even more Root members, it would probably not be a good time to go out and communicate with Root members.

So even Orochimaru could only wait for the right opportunity. The only good news was that the place had not yet been discovered.

It makes sense, really. Unless you jump down on your own, you won't notice anything unusual about this place, and you won't know that there's a secret laboratory here.

As dawn broke again, the shadow clones on the back mountain began to retreat methodically towards the Root base.

As the Root unit withdrew, the Dark Unit, which had also obtained no clues, began to withdraw its main force, leaving only three groups to continue investigating what had happened in the back mountain.

When the captain of the Anbu returned to the Hokage's office to report, he found that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked rather haggard, as if he hadn't rested all night.

"We've been tricked; the area behind the mountain was just bait."

Looking at the ANBU captain who had gained nothing, Hiruzen Sarutobi said helplessly, "The ANBU suffered heavy losses last night, and the so-called spy from Kumogakure has also disappeared without a trace."

Whether it was the three who intercepted the Anbu's pursuit or the guy who turned Uchiha Sasuke into what he is now, they have all disappeared without a trace, and it is even questionable whether they are still in Konoha.

"Last night's signal flare?!"

Upon receiving the information, the commander of the secret service immediately recalled what had happened last night. Although the signal flare had been launched, they were on a mission in the back mountains at the time. It was not that they could not provide reinforcements while on a mission.

Rather, it's because this is Konoha, and there's no need for reinforcements. Besides, those signal flares weren't particularly urgent, and it wasn't to the point of mobilizing all of Konoha's ninja for reinforcements.

"That's right. According to the clues we got from the Anbu, spies from Kumogakure tried to kidnap Uchiha Sasuke. Although they didn't succeed, they still caused us a lot of trouble. Most importantly, the spies from Kumogakure haven't been caught yet..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was grim; the constant stream of spies from Kumogakure was making him quite annoyed.

What Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't understand was that after the first attack by Kumogakure spies, Konoha became more vigilant, yet the Kumogakure spies always managed to find opportunities, which he found somewhat unbelievable.

If it weren't for the fact that Konoha Hospital didn't lack ninjas proficient in lightning-attribute techniques, he would have suspected that the so-called Kumogakure spy was actually a ninja from Konoha Hospital in disguise.

As for why it wasn't ninjas from other departments, it's quite simple. After all, the methods used by the spies from Kumogakure clearly fall into the category of medical ninjutsu.

"This was our mistake!"

Upon hearing about the spy from Kumogakure again, the captain of the Anbu's expression turned somewhat off. The Anbu was supposed to be responsible for intelligence work, but they were truly at a loss as to what to do with the Kumogakure spy.

They no longer even considered that guy a spy from Kumogakure; they even suspected that the so-called Kumogakure spy was actually from Konoha.

"This is not your fault."

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared somewhat calm, his gaze fixed on the window, looking out at the distant woods.

That was the entrance to the Root base, and the place Hiruzen Sarutobi first suspected. Although there were no concrete clues, it was a place in Konoha.

Aside from Konoha Hospital, the only place that could probably train medical ninjas is Danzo's Root organization.

If it's the root of the organization, repeatedly avoiding investigations by the shadowy forces will definitely not be a problem.

Moreover, given Danzo's ambition, it seems not impossible for him to do such a thing.

Chapter 74 is impossible.

It would be difficult for ordinary villagers to know what happened last night, but there are no secrets among ninjas.

After news of the spies from Kumogakure spread, the atmosphere in Konoha became even more somber.

Meanwhile, at this time, Hiroji was still modifying Uchiha Shisui's right eye at the Root base. After a whole night, the eye had reached the final stage.

The transformation will take about ten minutes. This process must be avoided by Danzo and Kabuto, since it is better not to expose the eye that contains Kotoamatsukami.

While Hongzhi was still working hard, the shadow clone assigned to Konoha Hospital was also summoned to Uchiha Sasuke's ward by Kudo Yuuya.

"It's so miserable..."

The shadow clone looked at Uchiha Sasuke in front of it and couldn't help but sigh. This shadow clone was replaced after the Konoha Hospital closed for the day, which meant that this shadow clone was unaware of Uchiha Sasuke's miserable state.

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke like this, aside from making such a remark, there didn't seem to be any other special feelings.

Upon seeing Uchiha Sasuke, the shadow clone immediately realized that it was the main body who had done it, since the wound was so easy to spot.

"I wanted you to see if you could come up with the best treatment plan, not for you to lament about your injuries."

Seeing Hiroji like this, Kudo Yuya spoke with some helplessness. Because of the nature of his true form, Kudo Yuya had no idea that the Hiroji in front of her was just an ordinary shadow clone.

"Hair alone is definitely not enough, but if we add blood, there might be unexpected results, provided that he can draw enough blood now."

The shadow clone calmly said that although the regeneration technique initially used hair, it did not mean that hair was the only option.

The main point about using hair is that it has absolutely no effect on ninjas. Whether the hair is short or long, there doesn't seem to be much difference besides appearance.

When Kudo Yuuya rejected Danzo, he only said that Danzo's hair was insufficient, but the reason for not choosing blood was also very simple: Danzo was no longer young, and his body's ability to produce blood could not compare to that of a young person.

Just to be on the safe side, it's better to keep the hair. If Danzo has any problems due to blood loss, Konoha Hospital will be in big trouble.

Uchiha Sasuke is different. He is a young man who is exactly twelve years old. Although his face is still a little pale, he is generally healthy.
