The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Chapter 97 It's Time to Send You to Your Relief

As it turned out, Hiruzen Sarutobi's idea was wrong. After Hiruzen Sarutobi took Naruto Uzumaki away, Hiroji went straight back to the Root prison.

At this moment, Iruka was sitting on the ground, looking dejected. Although he had thought of this situation from the beginning, he still found it hard to accept when it actually happened.

He was just a hair's breadth away from leaving. If the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had said something, he would have been able to leave. But Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't say anything and simply acquiesced to the situation.

"You're lucky. Mizuki finally spoke up, and now we can confirm that you're not his accomplice. As for your attack on Root, since you weren't injured and it didn't cause any problems with the mission, you're being released without charge according to regulations..."

After a long and tedious conversation, Iruka's previously lifeless eyes gradually regained some color.

In any case, he can finally leave this place, which is definitely good news for Iruka. As for why it has to be at this time, Iruka doesn't know and doesn't want to know.

Under Hiroji's leadership, Iruka was sent away directly. The reason for this arrangement was, of course, to annoy Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although Hiroji felt that doing so was not very meaningful, if it were Danzo, it would seem that doing so would be reasonable.

After watching Iruka leave, Hiroji returned directly to the Root base. This time, Hiroji did not summon the army of shadow clones, but instead directly opened the scroll of the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

From a certain perspective, the Impure World Reincarnation technique invented by the Second Hokage still had some flaws, while Orochimaru used an improved version, and Kabuto Yakushi used a second improved version.

Although Hongzhi had some knowledge of magic techniques, it was still impossible for him to directly solve the drawbacks of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Especially since the Impure World Reincarnation technique itself has the possibility of being undoed by the resurrected individual, Hongzhi certainly wouldn't be able to perfectly resolve it. However, there are still very few ninjas who can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Hongzhi has a system, so perhaps he can increase the upper limit of the Impure World Reincarnation technique by breaking its limits. In that case, as long as he doesn't summon a guy with overwhelming combat power, there won't be any problems.

After roughly understanding the principles of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Hongzhi put away the ninjutsu scroll, opened a brand new scroll, and prepared to create a scroll for casting the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Of course, Hongzhi wanted to make some special modifications. The core elements could not be changed, but he could still change some details.

For example, making reanimated ninjas look more like living people, and as for their strength, being able to unleash about 90% of their power would be considered very good.

It took about three hours for Hongzhi to draw his own Impure World Reincarnation scroll.

Next, all you need to do is prepare the necessary items and offerings before you can perform the Impure World Reincarnation.

And Hongzhi happened to have all of these things.

Danzo's blood and a living sacrifice—Mizuki.

Now, besides Hiroji, the only living person left in the Root Base is Mizuki, who is just right to be Danzo's sacrifice. This was something Hiroji had planned long ago.

As for what to do with Danzo after summoning him? Of course, it was to rob graves. Konoha has many dead powerful figures, some of whom even Kabuto Yakushi didn't know where their bodies were, but Danzo definitely did.

Of course, besides tomb raiding, Danzo must have some special ninjutsu. Koji might be able to take the opportunity to learn them. As for whether Danzo is willing to teach them, that's not up to Danzo.

Inside the interrogation room, Hiroji looked at Mizuki, who was barely clinging to life, without any surprise. In a way, the shadow clone's personality was exactly the same as the original.

If it were Hiroji himself beating up Mizuki here, it would be no different from what's happening now. If you had to say, the difference would probably be whether it's one person or two.

"You've worked hard... Now, it's time to send you to your release."

Hongzhi took out a sample of blood, smeared it on the scroll he had just prepared, and then began to form hand seals.

Sheets of gray paper began to cover Mizuki's body, and Mizuki, who had already lost all strength, felt unimaginable pain...

He wanted to scream, but the previous torture had exhausted all his strength.

In endless despair and pain, Mizuki gradually transformed into another person, who was none other than Danzo with both hands intact.

At this moment, Danzo had a three-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye, and his right arm was a slightly pale arm.

The power of the Uchiha and Senju clans was now fully revealed in Danzo's identity, proving that Koji's use of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which involved wasting a tube of Hashirama stem cells and a three-tomoe Sharingan, was worthwhile.

Before seeing the results, Hongzhi couldn't guarantee success, but now the situation seems relatively stable.

However, this method only works for a small number of people. Danzo himself had transplanted Hashirama cells and Sharingan, so he was naturally able to succeed.

If it were someone else trying to succeed, it would directly lead to the failure of the Impure World Reincarnation ritual.

Of course, Madara Uchiha, who also had Hashirama cells transplanted, might be able to succeed, but to restore him to his prime, it would definitely require more cells than Danzo's method.

"I never thought I'd see the light of day again! Orochimaru, it seems you..."

Danzo's eyes gradually regained their luster, and just as he was about to express his feelings, he saw the members of Root.

"Damn you, this is blasphemy against the dead!"

Danzo knew perfectly well that Root was now the territory of the spies from Kumogakure. The Root members he saw were either his former subordinates or shadow clones of that person.

"If it were someone else, I might feel a little embarrassed to say this, but if it's you, I feel you don't have the right to say it..."

Hongzhi carefully examined Danzo in front of him. The cracks on his body were very small and would not be visible unless one looked closely.

Most importantly, the eyes, although not as lifelike as those of a living person, still look more vibrant.

If you wear a Root mask, you can basically fool everyone. Unless someone is very familiar with Edo Tensei ninjas, they will not be detected.

Upon hearing Hongzhi's words, Danzo immediately wanted to attack him, but before he could take any action, he froze on the spot.

"Give up. Your destiny is to obediently become my tool..."

Looking at Danzo like this, Hongzhi couldn't help but smile, perhaps because of Hongzhi's improvement and use of the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The level of this forbidden technique has skyrocketed, and the characteristics it grants are exceptionally well-suited to the user.

[Impure World Reincarnation; Limit Break +1 (20%); Control +1]

Chapter 98 What's your decision?

Danzo's completion of the Impure World Reincarnation was like a beginning. After confirming that the Impure World Reincarnation could be used, Koji was somewhat excited.

It should be noted that Hongzhi possessed a terrifying bloodline: Uchiha Shisui.

If we could resurrect this guy using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, he would be more than capable of defying the heavens, let alone anything else.

However, this is also a huge hidden danger. In the original work, Itachi Uchiha directly used Kotoamatsukami to modify the control authority of the Edo Tensei, which led to Kabuto Yakushi's defeat and greatly increased the pressure on Obito Uchiha.

If so many ninja forces hadn't arrived immediately, Naruto Uzumaki would probably have been killed instantly.

Then there's what happened next. If Uchiha Shisui were brought out, and he just used Kotoamatsukami, wouldn't that scene be a bit awkward?

Whether it's using Kotoamatsukami to alter control of the Impure World Reincarnation or directly targeting Koji, neither option is acceptable to him.

In a sense, Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami is basically at the pinnacle of conventional genjutsu.

Although he didn't know if it would have any effect on the Rinnegan, Hiroji didn't want to know that.

Even Itachi Uchiha's torturous Tsukuyomi is no match for Kotoamatsukami. The former can only be described as terrifying, while the latter is simply defying the heavens.

However, precisely because it is so overpowered, the cooldown time for the Left Eye Kotoamatsukami is as long as more than ten years.

As for the right eye, Hiroji hasn't tried it yet, but it's certain that the Kotoamatsukami effect on the right eye is temporary, and the cooldown time is relatively short.

After a moment of silence, Hongzhi finally decided to find a spy in Konoha after some time to resurrect Uchiha Shisui using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Of course, Hongzhi would not confront Uchiha Shisui directly; he planned to lock him up as soon as he was resurrected.

Although it's a double-edged sword, as the saying goes, only magic can defeat magic. Itachi Uchiha has Shisui Uchiha's left eye, and Hiroji definitely wants to get that eye.

This means that Hongzhi must face Uchiha Itachi. No matter what the final outcome is, Hongzhi will have to confront that eye.

If we really encounter Kotoamatsukami, then let Uchiha Shisui go. There might be unexpected gains. We don't expect him to be able to defeat Uchiha Itachi directly, but he should have no problem resisting the original Kotoamatsukami.

As for what might happen after using it once, Hongzhi didn't know either, but when it came to Itachi Uchiha, it was necessary to have as many precautions as possible.

When fighting Itachi Uchiha later, Hiroji didn't want to take action himself at all; he just let the reanimated Uchiha do it.

Firstly, to prevent being outmaneuvered, and secondly, to ensure that Uchiha Shisui's left eye could be obtained safely.

Even if Uchiha Shisui regained his sanity because of his original Kotoamatsukami, the remaining Edo Tensei users could still seize the crow and bring back Uchiha Shisui's left eye.

The method for the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is already in place, and Hongzhi doesn't want any unexpected events to occur. In addition, Uchiha Shisui's method of dealing with Uchiha Obito might also be a good one.

However, before the control of the Impure World Reincarnation could restrain Uchiha Shisui, Hiroji would definitely not release him.

The next morning.

Hiroji, posing as a member of Root, wandered around Konoha with the goal of finding spies lurking within the village, which, in his understanding, were numerous.

Most of them were spies from non-five major ninja villages; the majority were actually spies from the surrounding smaller ninja villages.

Now, Hongzhi's Impure World Reincarnation allows the summoned person to exert 90% of their strength, which is enough for Hongzhi, after all, Uchiha Shisui's strength is beyond doubt.

Hongzhi wouldn't ask him to go toe-to-toe with those Kage-level opponents; he just wanted him to be able to play a small role when dealing with Itachi and Obito.

As for the remaining situations, releasing Uchiha Shisui would basically result in a rampage, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be able to do anything against the reanimated Uchiha Shisui.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi can use the Reaper Death Seal for a one-for-one exchange, here's the problem: what if Hiruzen Sarutobi is controlled by Kotoamatsukami when he uses the Reaper Death Seal?

While it's uncertain whether using the Reaper Death Seal would grant immunity to genjutsu, given Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami, Hiruzen Sarutobi probably wouldn't have had a chance to activate the Reaper Death Seal.

After all, it's impossible for Hiruzen Sarutobi to immediately use the Reaper Death Seal after just being attacked; that would be insane, wouldn't it?

Using a suicidal move right from the start? Even an Edo Tensei wouldn't be so reckless.

To Hongzhi's surprise, he didn't spot any shifty-looking guys who looked like spies as he walked the streets of Konoha.

How come the security situation in Konoha has changed so quickly? It wasn't like this before.

As Hongzhi continued forward, his shadow clone, which had been at Konoha Hospital, once again stood in Treatment Room Number One.

Sasuke Uchiha's surgery will continue. Sasuke's right arm has now returned to the original length of his left arm, and it will take about a few more days for him to fully recover.

Of course, if the shadow clones hadn't embezzled during the process, Sasuke Uchiha would theoretically be able to start rehabilitation and prepare to leave Konoha Hospital.

How long will it take me to recover?

Unlike his previous arrogance, Sasuke Uchiha, who had watched his arm grow little by little, was now somewhat humble.

Of course, Sasuke Uchiha only showed this attitude when facing Hiroji, since Hiroji was the only one who could decide whether he could continue his revenge. Even if Sasuke Uchiha had a problem with his brain, he didn't dare to show it too obviously.

"The surgery will probably take another five days. As for how well you'll adapt to your new arm, that depends on your efforts."

The shadow clone answered calmly, and then began to repair Sasuke Uchiha's right arm. The shadow clone was very familiar with this process, so naturally there would be no problems.

In the dean's office, Kudo Yuya looked at the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting in her seat with some conflicted feelings.

"What's your consideration? It's just asking him to guarantee that Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki's bodies won't have any problems. You should know how important they are."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke calmly. If it were anyone else, he would only need to greet Yuuya Kudo. But if she were the only candidate for the next dean, he might be rejected outright even if he went there in person.

After all, he is Konoha's top medical ninja, so if something were to happen to him, the consequences would be very serious.
