The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

While Hongzhi's stated mission was to observe whether the regeneration technique would have any side effects, his primary task was to protect the lives of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

In this situation, Sakura Haruno was originally very lucky, but after saying that sentence, she has turned from lucky to unlucky.

Kakashi had specifically studied Sakura Haruno's achievements, and her outstanding qualities lay in her theoretical knowledge and chakra control.

Judging from his talent, he is qualified to become a medical ninja. If Team 7 doesn't perform too badly, he has even considered having Sakura Haruno learn from Hiroji.

Being taught by the strongest medical ninjutsu master is like a direct leap forward; at the very least, he'll become an elite Jonin in the future.

Although Hiroji himself was not an elite Jonin, Kakashi knew clearly that the promotion path for medical ninjas was different from that of ordinary ninjas.

Elite Jonin represent the top Jonin in a village. A medical ninja like Hiroji is undoubtedly qualified. Even if his combat strength is poor, it will not affect this evaluation.

Moreover, this person is the apprentice of Kudo Yuya, the director of Konoha Hospital, so he has basically been designated as the next director.

'Why am I thinking about you so much? Given the current situation, it will be extremely difficult for Class 7 to reunite.'

Kakashi shook his head helplessly. Deep down, he already wanted to accept the new Team 7, but Sakura Haruno's words immediately cast doubt on the matter.

In contrast to Hiroji and Kakashi's clear understanding, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office was completely unable to comprehend what had happened.

Team 7 was of utmost importance. Hiruzen Sarutobi specifically used the crystal ball to check the situation. He saw Kakashi and Koji enter the forest and encounter Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno...

Because there was no sound, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know what Sakura Haruno said, but judging from Sasuke Uchiha's expression, it probably wasn't anything nice, otherwise Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't have been so far away from her.

"This is really a headache!"

Because there was no sound, Hiruzen Sarutobi could only guess wildly. He even suspected that Sakura Haruno wanted to see Sasuke Uchiha's bald head.

It's clear that Hiruzen Sarutobi is also very concerned about Team 7, but even if he racks his brains, he probably still wouldn't be able to figure out what Sakura Haruno said.

Just as the situation became awkward, Naruto Uzumaki, who had overslept, was rushing to the Ninja Academy.

"It's all because I was too excited last night!"

As he hurried along, Naruto Uzumaki complained about his past self.

However, when Naruto Uzumaki arrived at the Ninja Academy's training ground, everything seemed to become beautiful.

Especially when he saw Sakura Haruno, Naruto Uzumaki immediately smiled. Correspondingly, when Sakura Haruno saw Naruto, her already somewhat aggrieved expression turned dark.

Chapter 107 You're not missing an arm or a leg...

Sakura Haruno couldn't understand why Sasuke Uchiha was angry, but that didn't stop her from blaming Naruto Uzumaki for it.

She will never think she is wrong, at least not at this stage. A beating won't do any good to someone like that.

This is not something that can be changed easily, after all, she was already wearing glasses when she looked at Naruto Uzumaki.

Of course, at this moment, Sakura Haruno was also seen through the lens of Hiroji's eyes. As for Kakashi and Sasuke Uchiha's opinions, Hiroji was unsure, but he figured they wouldn't be very positive.

The mistakes we make now will eventually have to be repaid, which is why Naruto Uzumaki is relatively kind.

It's impossible for her to turn evil; if it were someone else, they would definitely sacrifice Sakura Haruno.

Naruto Uzumaki, having been met with a cold shoulder, noticed that Sakura Haruno's gaze was somewhat strange. He stopped and turned his attention to Sasuke Uchiha, who was standing to the side.

Because Sasuke Uchiha was hospitalized, Naruto Uzumaki did not have any close contact with him, but this did not affect the antagonistic relationship between the two.

Perhaps this is destiny. Naruto looked at Sasuke's head, seemingly wanting to say something, but Sasuke noticed this in advance and stopped Naruto with a look.

'This is such a familiar way of communicating!'

In the woods, Kakashi's disappointed expression because of Sakura Haruno softened a little. If you don't count Sakura Haruno, the atmosphere in this class seems pretty good.

However, the relationship between Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki still needed a mediator, and Sakura Haruno's attitude towards Sasuke Uchiha was just like Naruto's attitude towards her.

"It's hard to imagine that the fourth generation's son would have such a personality."

Just as Kakashi was pondering, Hiroji's voice came from the side, which surprised Kakashi.

How did this guy know about this? He was probably only two or three years old when the Fourth Hokage died.

"Don't look at me like that. Based on some information from Konoha Hospital, it can be clearly deduced that the Fourth Hokage's son graduated from the Ninja Academy this year... and among the genin who graduated this year, the only one whose identity is unknown is Naruto Uzumaki."

Noticing Kakashi's gaze, Hiroji casually offered an explanation.

"It's best to keep this a secret."

Kakashi was taken aback but didn't say anything more. Konoha Hospital does have reports of his master's wife's prenatal checkups, but given the level of confidentiality of those reports, it's a bit far-fetched that you could see them. It seems the rumors are true.

Kudo Yuuya really wanted this guy in front of her to become the director of Konoha Hospital.

"The people have already arrived; there's no need to hide here any longer."

Before Hongzhi could answer, Kakashi used a Body Flicker Technique to appear on the playground, making a spectacular entrance that immediately made him the center of attention.

Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, and Haruno Sakura all locked onto Kakashi in the center of the playground.

It was obvious that the person in front of them was their instructor.

This person doesn't seem very reliable!

This was Sasuke Uchiha's first reaction to Kakashi Hatake. Although he didn't know the situation of the other Jonin, the fact that his teacher was late made Sasuke feel that he was a bit unreliable.

"Kakashi-senpai is very strong, you know. Breaking both of your legs would be a piece of cake for him."

As Sasuke Uchiha was still sizing up Kakashi, a familiar voice came to his ear. Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously wanted to turn around, but before he could move, he felt a cold sensation in his throat.

The sudden sensation completely stunned Uchiha Sasuke. When did this guy arrive?

This sudden turn of events immediately drew the attention of Team 7, who had just gathered together, to Uchiha Sasuke.

'Was this guy really just a background character in the team back then?!'

Kakashi knew about Hiroji's past, and it was precisely because he knew this that he found it somewhat unbelievable that someone with such strength could only play a minor role. What kind of amazing team was he in before?

Compared to Kakashi's shock, Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno were stunned. Even the strongest Uchiha Sasuke was directly subdued. What was going on with the person who suddenly appeared?

"Okay, stop fooling around."

Although Kakashi was very curious about Hiroji's strength and past experiences, he knew that the most important thing today was to meet with Team 7 first and then arrange the real test tomorrow.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon, and you're not missing any limbs..."

With a smile, Hiroji put away the kunai in his hand and went straight to Kakashi's side.

When he first heard the voice, Sasuke Uchiha had some guesses, and after hearing those words again, he knew exactly who it was.

Sasuke Uchiha was speechless to find that unscrupulous medical ninja from Konoha Hospital showing up here...

"I'm the teacher of Team 7. You can call me Kakashi. As for whether you successfully become genin or obediently return to the Ninja Academy, that depends on how you perform in tomorrow's survival exercise. If you fail, I regret to inform you that the only thing waiting for you is the Ninja Academy..."

Perhaps influenced by Hiroji, Kakashi didn't have the three introduce themselves directly, but instead went straight to the harsh realities of tomorrow's survival drill.

Of course, Hiroji is more inclined to believe that Kakashi was angered by Sakura Haruno, after all, her words made Hiroji unconsciously dislike her a bit more.

"Why is there still an assessment?!"

Hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto Uzumaki felt a headache coming on; he hated assessments the most.

Sasuke Uchiha didn't react much to this, as it was clearly unlikely that he would receive instruction from a Jonin simply because he graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Meanwhile, Sakura Haruno subconsciously looked at Sasuke Uchiha. Although her grades were very good, if she was eliminated in the assessment, wouldn't she be unable to be with Sasuke?

"That's the rule."

Kakashi gave a casual explanation, then found a shady spot to sit down, looking calmly at the three of them.

Kakashi tried his best to ignore Sakura Haruno's words, otherwise he was afraid it would affect his judgment on tomorrow's survival exercise.

"I've finished introducing myself. Now it's your turn. Even if you get eliminated tomorrow, I need to know who got eliminated."

Kakashi remained calm, but Hiroji noticed that his gaze was completely oblivious to Sakura Haruno.

This made Hongzhi find it somewhat amusing, and even Kakashi was quite angry, which gives you an idea of ​​how destructive Sakura Haruno is.

Chapter 108 You are that demon!

Hongzhi watched this scene quietly without any intention of getting involved, as he had no connection with Class 7.

If we have to say there's a connection, it might be that Hiroji wanted to get Sasuke Uchiha's arm or leg or Naruto Uzumaki's leg. Of course, if we have to go by that logic, Hiroji probably had a grudge against Kakashi Hatake.

"I'll go first. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and my dream is to gain everyone's recognition and become Hokage!"

Hongzhi's reflections did not dampen Naruto's enthusiasm; his dream remained as passionate as ever—to become Hokage.

However, perhaps because of the Root base incident, Naruto's dream has gained something more.

Kakashi, who had been somewhat lazy, subconsciously touched his left eye as he looked at Naruto's innocent expression. He really did resemble Obito a bit…

As Kakashi was reminiscing, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness. "Obito, in the end, I still couldn't see all the beauty of this world through your eyes."

After Naruto finished his dream, Sakura Haruno, who was completely unaware that she was being disliked, immediately raised her hand.

"I am Sakura Haruno, and my hobby is..."

Sakura Haruno started glancing at Sasuke Uchiha halfway through her sentence, and then stopped talking. But her action made Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously shift his position.

'To Sasuke Uchiha's face, he said Naruto Uzumaki had no parents, and then still wanted Sasuke? Infinite Tsukuyomi?'

Upon noticing Sasuke Uchiha's actions, Hiroji almost burst out laughing. Sakura Haruno's thoughts were still quite simple: she hoped that nothing would change when Sasuke pointed a kunai at her in the future.

Kakashi didn't react much, but turned to look at Sasuke Uchiha beside him. Compared to Sakura Haruno, he was more bothered by Sasuke Uchiha's thoughts.

"I don't have any hobbies or dreams. If I had to say, there's only one goal I want to achieve: to become stronger and then personally take down that guy!"

The moment Sasuke Uchiha spoke, the atmosphere around them subtly changed. Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno were startled, while Kakashi was more concerned about Sasuke's eyes.

Two-tomoe Sharingan.

He's already awakened the Sharingan. No wonder he's that guy's brother.

Kakashi thought to himself, having worked with Itachi Uchiha for a period of time, and because of that, he knew exactly how terrifying that guy was.

If Sasuke Uchiha wants revenge, it will be very difficult. Putting aside everything else, Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan has already surpassed Kakashi's understanding of the Sharingan.

Although Kakashi didn't know Sasuke's level, he was certain that if Sasuke were to face Itachi now, he would probably be instantly killed before he could even touch the hem of Itachi's clothes.

"Very good, now that we've gotten to know each other, we'll meet at Training Ground Seven at 5:00 AM tomorrow for a survival drill..."

After understanding the three's general idea, Kakashi gave the order directly. After a short pause, Kakashi added, "Remember, whatever you do, don't eat, or you'll throw up."

'Full of dark humor.'
