The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hiroji didn't know what to say about Kakashi's reaction. Although there was a special meaning to not letting them eat, it was obviously a perverse pleasure to say it at the end.

"what!"

Upon hearing this request, Naruto immediately began to complain, not because he didn't have a problem with not being able to eat, but because he figured this guy probably couldn't get up.

Sasuke Uchiha didn't speak, but looked at Hiroji beside him. He didn't think that Hiroji's appearance here was just an accident. If he was Kakashi's friend, there was no need for him to come along at such a crucial moment.

"Don't look at me like that. My job is to make sure your new arms are okay and to be able to fix them if they do."

Captain Uchiha Sasuke's gaze was met with a casual explanation from Hongzhi, who then looked over to Uzumaki Naruto, who was also looking over.

"You are that demon!"

Perhaps because he was a beat slow to react, Naruto pointed at Hiroji and started yelling. He clearly remembered that when Choji was injured, it was this guy who treated him.

After the surgery, Choji ran straight out of the treatment room. Because the treatment was so painful, Choji called the medical ninja a demon.

"One day you won't think that way."

Hongzhi didn't feel uncomfortable about it. Although he hadn't been in charge of Treatment Room No. 1 for a while, reputation was something that was extremely difficult to resolve.

Or perhaps Hongzhi never expected to be able to get rid of this title in the first place. Although the treatment methods were somewhat brutal, the effect was absolutely top-notch from a certain perspective.

"I won't get hurt!"

Seemingly frightened by Choji's description, Naruto Uzumaki took a few steps back, while Sakura Haruno looked at Hiroji, clearly having heard the term "devil" before.

She also knew what the demon truly meant; it was the strongest medical ninja at Konoha Hospital.

It's unbelievable that a medical ninja like this is here, and it even seems to be related to Sasuke.

Sakura Haruno glanced at Sasuke Uchiha instinctively, and suddenly she realized something. When she visited Sasuke at the Konoha hospital, his arm was missing, but now it had recovered...

Could it be that Sakura Haruno thought of a possibility, or rather, Sakura Haruno realized a truth, after all, there was a living example right in front of her.

The seemingly gentle ninja in front of me possesses medical ninjutsu capable of restoring severed arms.

No one is immune to injury.

Hongzhi gave a casual explanation, then looked at Kakashi. Logically speaking, they had already gotten to know each other, so they could disband.

But Kakashi didn't seem to have this idea, which surprised Hiroji. Could it be that Kakashi had something else to say?

"You guys can disband now."

Noticing Hiroji's gaze, Kakashi glanced at the three members of the Reserve Team 7, announced that they could disband, and then fixed his gaze on Hiroji.

"I'm very curious about your abilities. Your past experiences seem to be quite different from the abilities you've shown."

Kakashi said this without any suspicion. If Hiroji had any problems, he would have been taken away by the Anbu long ago.

"After that incident, I have been practicing the most basic skills in my spare time, so there may be a difference in strength."

Hongzhi calmly explained that what he said was true. Putting aside everything else, the monstrous strength attribute brought by the Yin Seal alone could enhance Hongzhi's strength.

As for improvements in other areas, they can be entirely attributed to chakra control, since chakra control is the most important aspect of medical ninjutsu.

Chapter 109 That's such a pity!

"In order to cooperate better, I would like to know your specific capabilities."

Kakashi looked at Hiroji and spoke directly. He didn't doubt Hiroji's statement. How could a ninja who could achieve such results in medical ninjutsu in such a short time be so bad at other things?

It's important to know that there are also medical ninjutsu techniques that can kill. These are the kinds of enemies Kakashi doesn't want to encounter, as they can heal themselves after exchanging injuries.

This is somewhat unreasonable. The strongest among them is undoubtedly Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin. Not only is she extremely powerful, but her medical ninjutsu is also second to none.

"It is an honor, but Kakashi-senpai doesn't need to think too highly of me. Apart from medical ninjutsu and the ninjutsu taught at the Ninja Academy, I haven't learned any other ninjutsu."

When Kakashi spoke, Hiroji didn't hold back. In this situation, it was necessary to demonstrate his strength, otherwise there might be problems later.

Of course, there's no need to show too much. Just let Kakashi think that you have the strength of an ordinary Jonin. It's not that Hiroji doesn't want to reduce his strength, but because of the existence of the Chakra Scalpel, the upper limit is predetermined.

This is also the strongest killing ninjutsu of a medical ninja. If one can use it in actual combat, one is basically at the level of a Jonin. In addition, there are the most basic ninjutsu. If Hongzhi deliberately hides his abilities, then there will be a problem.

"Let's begin then."

Kakashi didn't say much. If Hiroji knew how to use other ninjutsu, it meant there was a problem.

"Let's begin."

After Hongzhi agreed, he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.

Although the battle area was assumed to be the playground, Hiroji didn't want to be watched by Sasuke Uchiha and the others during the fight; that would be a terrible experience.

"So fast."

Kakashi couldn't help but sigh, and then used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the spot. After the two disappeared, the three people left behind felt a little awkward.

I had hoped to see a match, but it seems they don't want to put on a show here.

Even so, none of the three left. They still wanted to see the strength of this unfamiliar teacher. Although they couldn't see him, it didn't stop them from seeing just how powerful Kakashi was.

In the forest, Kakashi, who was moving forward, suddenly sensed something was wrong. The next second, several kunai came from several directions. Seeing this, Kakashi did not hesitate and immediately used the Substitution Jutsu.

A wooden stake was hit directly by a kunai, and to Kakashi's horror, the stake was shattered.

At this moment, Kakashi put aside his contempt. Although he didn't know the specific reason, the impact of the kunai was still very strong, which was enough to show that Hiroji was very powerful. If he were hit, the consequences would probably be terrible.

As Kakashi was thinking this, a kunai with an explosive tag attached landed directly on the tree where he was hiding.

Unable to devise a countermeasure, Kakashi had no choice but to move again. After finding a new location, Kakashi did not encounter any new attacks, but he still could not find Hiroji's exact location.

This made Kakashi feel a little embarrassed, but the good news was that Hiroji wasn't lying. His fighting style had nothing to do with ninjutsu; he was just fighting using basic techniques. What was particularly remarkable was that his basic skills were truly terrifying.

This made Kakashi even more curious about what he had experienced when he first graduated from Koji.

How could someone who has mastered the fundamentals so well possibly be a mere bystander in the team?

Could there be another hidden story?

Kakashi didn't have time to think about this; his immediate priority was finding that exceptionally skilled medical ninja.

Kakashi deliberately left his hiding place, and as soon as he peeked out, he was met with an attack from kunai.

Kakashi's lips twitched, and he dodged Hiroji's kunai with a backflip, then rushed towards the direction from which the kunai had come.

Watching this scene from a distance, Hongzhi immediately drew a shuriken and flew it towards Kakashi. A real battle would definitely not be like this.

But if it's just a test, there's definitely no problem.

As expected, Kakashi dodged the shuriken again, and at this moment Kakashi had already appeared not far from Hiroji.

Without any hesitation, Hongzhi headed away into the distance. There was no need to use the chakra scalpel at this point; it wasn't like he was risking his life.

Hongzhi was eventually caught up by Kakashi. In the end, Hongzhi was defeated by Kakashi using a Fire Release ninjutsu. Of course, Kakashi would not let Hongzhi get hurt.

Both sides stopped short of reaching a consensus.

"What is the source of your power?"

After the battle, Kakashi recalled the unfortunate wooden stake and asked curiously, since kunai shouldn't normally be able to crush a wooden stake.

Hongzhi didn't say anything about this, but silently took off his headband, revealing a white diamond-shaped mark.

Upon seeing this, Kakashi instinctively took a step back. If they had just engaged in a taijutsu match, he probably would have been killed with a single punch.

"Your foundation is very strong, but your ninjutsu is far too weak."

Kakashi originally wanted to comment on the taijutsu, but after seeing the diamond-shaped mark, he chose to remain silent.

Kakashi was aware that people with diamond-shaped marks generally possess superhuman strength. Although he had never witnessed it firsthand, he knew a little about the ninjutsu that made Tsunade famous.

"His physical skills and illusion skills are also very poor."

Hongzhi nodded in agreement. This was about all the strength they could show on the surface. As for the rest of their strength, it wasn't time to reveal it yet.

"I'm curious how you ended up being the weakest in the team?"

On the way back to the Ninja Academy's training ground, Kakashi asked curiously, "With such talent, even without ninjutsu and genjutsu, you shouldn't be just a bystander on D-rank missions, right?"

"Actually, there wasn't much of a reason. Back then, the Chunin captain knew the other two teammates, and their parents were both ninjas who had trained since childhood. Compared to them, I was naturally the weakest. When carrying out missions, they could directly use ninjutsu to solve many problems, while I still needed to learn step by step..."

Hongzhi smiled and explained that all of this was true, but it was a pity that after killing them, he did not obtain their ninjutsu, but only a Shadow Clone Scroll.

However, it wasn't too bad, since Hongzhi only used lightning-attribute chakra to electrocute the three people who were resting.

"That's such a pity!"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's lips twitched. A commoner against two ninjas who had already begun their training had absolutely no advantage.

Chapter 110 Three Unlucky Guys

When Hiroji and Kakashi returned, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sakura Haruno were still there, seemingly watching the spectacle with amusement.

"Remember not to eat breakfast tomorrow morning."

Kakashi didn't say anything, gave the trio a final word of advice, and then left.

Looking at Kakashi's back, Hiroji felt that this guy was probably at a crucial point in the book.

"I really hope you guys get eliminated tomorrow, so I won't have to follow you around the mountains and fields on missions."

After Kakashi left, Hiroji left behind a message and also departed, even though he knew it was impossible for this to happen.

However, Hiroji genuinely hoped that Sasuke Uchiha would stay in Konoha Hospital, as that would make obtaining Sasuke's stem cells incredibly easy.

Putting aside other factors, having a routine check-up every day should be fine, but that kind of approach can't last.

Sasuke Uchiha will eventually have to leave this place. All Hongzhi can do now is see if he can find an opportunity to send Sasuke Uchiha back. Of course, he can also include Naruto Uzumaki in the plan.

After all, they were in the same class, so they had to be neat and tidy. Kakashi's eyes and Sasuke's arms were both made by Hongzhi.

Logically speaking, Naruto should have lost his legs, and as for Sakura Haruno, what's left is probably her head.

I wonder if Sakura Haruno, in that state, would still be alive.

Of course, Hongzhi was just joking. Sakura Haruno doesn't seem to have anything of value. Naruto Uzumaki has Ashura's chakra, so even if the effect overlaps with Hashirama's stem cells, he is still a descendant of the Uzumaki clan.

If we find another descendant of the Whirlpool Clan, we can produce pure Whirlpool stem cells, which will allow the body to undergo a strengthening process.

Chakra levels and physical fitness can still be improved to some extent. Even if Sakura Haruno is related to the Senju clan, can she really compare to Hashirama Senju's stem cells?

That's impossible. Since this guy doesn't have anything of value on him, Hongzhi won't cause him any trouble.
