The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

The main reason for this is naturally the accumulation of Bai Lei's bloodline limit. Breaking the limit by +10 is the peak. As the proficiency of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique soars, the time it takes for Bai Lei to reach this peak is a little shorter than Hongzhi had imagined.

[Yang attribute change; Limit Break +10, Life +10]

[Lightning attribute changes; Limit Break +10, Body Tempering +10, Paralysis +10]

[Yang Lei; Limit Break +10, Destruction +10]

[Ray Cutter; Limit Break +10, Precision +10]

Because the Shadow Clone Technique always uses the White Lightning Blade, only four items can reach this limit at the same time.

The most significant change is undoubtedly in the White Lightning, which has been transformed into Yang Lightning. Perhaps this level of White Lightning represents the original power of Yang-attribute chakra.

Besides that, the biggest change was in Hongzhi's body. After his Yang attribute chakra reached its peak, Hongzhi's vitality and chakra reserves underwent another transformation.

Putting everything else aside, Hongzhi's chakra reserves should now surpass those of Naruto Uzumaki, while his Sage Mode is still some distance from Hashirama Senju's.

Chapter 114 The Client? A Death Knell!

After reaching the peak of his bloodline limit, Yang Lei, Hongzhi could now focus on developing entirely new bloodline limits.

Lightning attribute, Yang attribute, Yin attribute, Water attribute.

These are the four attributes that Hongzhi currently possesses. If we were to arrange and combine them, Hongzhi would definitely need to fuse the Thunder and Yin attributes next.

However, this would be a bit cost-effective for Hongzhi. Yang Lei has already reached the peak of the lightning attribute to some extent. If Yin Lei were added, it might make Hongzhi even more powerful.

But this was just steady progress; Hiroji wanted to develop a bloodline limit that combined Yin and Water attributes.

Then they exchanged bloodlines and studied the bloodline limits of water and lightning attributes, as well as the bloodline limits of yin and yang attributes.

With these four bloodline limits, Hongzhi might be able to fuse the chakra of the four attributes, which would lead to a qualitative leap in his strength.

This was Hongzhi's idea, and the path he chose. Regardless of whether this path would succeed, it would make Hongzhi stronger.

Moreover, compared to the brutality of the lightning attribute, the water attribute is relatively milder, and the yin attribute is definitely related to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. Hongzhi did not want any accidents to happen.

As for the bloodline limits of lightning and yin attributes, you can work on those if you have the time.

The Akatsuki organization has not yet begun large-scale collection of tailed beasts. When the time is right, Hiroji can completely control a tailed beast.

In that case, at the very least, it would delay the appearance of the Gedo Mazo. Ideally, it would be to choose a Tailed Beast with a Jinchuriki and kill the Jinchuriki in front of everyone.

Of course, the premise is that the tailed beast is extracted first; otherwise, who knows where the tailed beast will be reborn in some remote corner.

This might have been a bit troublesome before, but now it's not a big problem. Both Edo Tensei and Kotoamatsukami can control Jinchuriki to act.

At that time, there will be no fear of anyone discovering any flaws, although Kotoamatsukami has not yet been figured out by Hiroji.

If Hiroji wanted to turn Uchiha Shisui's right eye into the Mangekyou Sharingan, he would need to expend a massive amount of chakra, just like Kakashi.

This is meaningless to Hongzhi; he might as well use that chakra to develop a completely new bloodline limit.

That way, at least the inscriptions for the Yin and Water attributes can be completed faster.

For the next seven days, Hongzhi spent his time with his shadow clone researching the ratio of Yin and Water attributes.

Meanwhile, the task for Team 7 was being handled by shadow clones. Originally, Hiroji didn't want this, but just as Team 7's teamwork was beginning to take shape, Hiroji discovered that Kakashi had actually put the shadow clones on duty.

As for how Hongzhi discovered it, it was naturally based on his understanding of shadow clones.

After realizing this, Hongzhi relaxed. "You used Shadow Clone Technique first, so there's no reason why I can't use it too!"

And so the two shadow clones diligently carried out the mission alongside the three members of Class 7.

Yes, the trio diligently carried out their mission, while Kakashi and Hiroji were busy with their own things.

Things took a turn on the morning of the eighth day. Having carried out too many D-rank missions, Naruto Uzumaki started acting up. Of course, it was only Naruto Uzumaki; Sasuke Uchiha didn't say anything, but he was getting annoyed.

As for Sakura Haruno, she still acts like she's willing to be Sasuke Uchiha's slave.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was also having a headache dealing with Naruto's unreasonable behavior. Because his class was established relatively early, other classes had already started shifting their missions from D-rank missions to C-rank missions around Konoha.

Team 7, the only one whose formation was delayed due to Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, is still working hard on a D-rank mission.

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew this was bound to happen sooner or later, but when that day actually arrived, he was still somewhat worried.

Unlike regular D-rank missions, C-rank missions, while not involving ninjas, do involve combat.

This made Hiruzen Sarutobi a little uneasy, and he subconsciously looked at Kakashi beside him.

Kakashi is quite loyal; he always uses his real body when accepting a mission, and then transforms into a shadow clone when he starts carrying it out.

Kakashi nodded silently. After more than half a month of training together, he was very clear about the strength of the three of them. They were more than capable of handling some C-rank missions.

Moreover, with him and Hongzhi following behind, how could anything go wrong? If a medical ninja were to use a chakra scalpel to kill someone, it would probably be even more powerful than his Lightning Blade.

After all, they have an extremely deep understanding of human anatomy.

"In that case, this long-term mission will be entrusted to your Class Seven!"

Seeing Kakashi nod, Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that a fledgling eagle must fly, otherwise it will only become a weakling.

All he could do was ensure that the mission would go smoothly and make all necessary preparations. He was somewhat confident in Team 7, with its elite Jonin Kakashi Hatake and the strongest medical ninja in Konoha and even the entire ninja world.

If this configuration causes problems even when executing a C-level task, it can only mean that there is a problem with that task.

To wipe out these two would probably require a top-secret mission; even a regular S-rank wouldn't go that far.

"You can come in now!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the door to the side, and as he spoke, a drunken old man slowly walked out.

"Is it really okay to entrust my task to them? Especially that shortest guy, he doesn't seem reliable at all!"

Tazuna, the bridge-building expert, is a guy who dares to lie to people in Konoha for the sake of his country. Perhaps the Land of Waves is just too poor, so even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't doubt whether there would be any problems with this mission.

What desperate person would go there?

The shadow clone waited outside the mission center for a long time but did not see anyone come out, which surprised the shadow clone.

Logically speaking, how could accepting a simple D-rank mission take so long? Now that the time is abnormal, it means that the guy who led Class 7 to get beaten up is probably coming soon.

Just as the shadow clone had guessed, when Kakashi and the others came out, the shadow clone noticed a drunken old man behind them.

Upon seeing the old man, the shadow clone instinctively looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

The appearance of this guy means that the arms and legs of these two are going to suffer accidents. It is reasonable for Momochi Zabuza, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, to have such a record.

Of course, if Zabuza Momochi in his normal state isn't enough, then we'll give him an Edo Tensei version.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, immersed in the C-rank mission, had no idea that this old man was not only the client but also a death warrant.

Chapter 115 Bloodline Limit Dark Water

Within the Root Base, Hiroji clearly saw black water appearing in the hand of one of the shadow clones.

Without a doubt, the bloodline limit researched by Hongzhi was successfully completed, a bloodline limit that combines Yin and Water attributes.

With the shadow clone dispelled and memories flooding in, Hongzhi understood the fusion ratio of the new bloodline limit. After the main body tried it again, Hongzhi was certain that the new bloodline limit had been born.

The shadow clones were released again. Unlike the previous attempts, this time all the shadow clones understood how to condense the fused chakra.

A brand new type of chakra is being born. Hongzhi's shadow clones have now reached more than 500, which is very good news. This means that the speed at which he masters the new bloodline limit will be increased unimaginably.

This is Hongzhi's most terrifying cheat code.

Late at night, when all the shadow clones' memories returned, Hiroji discovered something interesting: the old man from the Land of Waves had actually arrived, and Team 7 had successfully accepted the mission from the Land of Waves as well.

This means that the time before Hongzhi needs to restock is further shortened. It will take a long time to travel to the Land of Waves, and according to the mission description, a cross-sea bridge needs to be built.

The technology in the ninja world is not like that on Earth. It would take at least several months to build such a cross-sea bridge, and that's the most conservative estimate.

If you think about it from a different perspective, Hiroji realized that this long-term mission was more like giving Class 7 more time to develop.

If they keep carrying out missions without interruption, it will undoubtedly be difficult for Class 7 to make significant progress in their strength. After all, apart from a few geniuses, the rest of the D-rank missions simply cannot help them grow.

This simple C-level mission is different. Putting aside everything else, even if someone comes to cause trouble every three to five days, the three of them can use the remaining time to train.

In such a situation, their strength would definitely improve, not to mention that Kakashi was there to guide them.

"They really went to great lengths."

Hongzhi didn't believe that there couldn't be another team in Konoha that could take on the mission from the Land of Waves, but Hiruzen Sarutobi had dragged it out for a long time, which meant that the mission was very likely left behind by Hiruzen Sarutobi on purpose.

However, none of this had anything to do with Hiroji. His purpose in going to the Land of Waves was simple: to buy goods, buy goods, and buy more goods.

Stopping from pondering whether Hiruzen Sarutobi had deliberately left this task behind, Hiroji looked at the notification that had just appeared beside him.

[Yin attribute change; Break Limit +2 (64%), Spirit +2]

[Water attribute change; Limit Break +2 (92%); Control +2]

[Dark Water; Limit Break +2 (33%) Control +2]

The new bloodline limit is called Dark Water by Hongzhi. Its accompanying control effect is not an increase in Hongzhi's control over Dark Water, but rather an increase in Dark Water's control over enemies.

Since it is a bloodline limit formed by the fusion of Yin attributes, it must come with certain effects, which is why Hongzhi named it Dark Water.

It's like darkness itself, drawing you in, unlike the control of illusions, but equally outrageous.

The control of water attribute is the control of water attribute chakra, which was not beyond Hongzhi's expectations.

The Yin attribute is undoubtedly the spirit. Changes in the Yang attribute enhance vitality, while changes in the Yin attribute enhance spiritual power.

Perhaps the bloodline limit created by fusing these two chakras is the strongest, but it's unknown whether there will be a chance to develop it.

Hongzhi certainly wouldn't consider it now, because he has absolutely no clue what to do. Yin and Yang attribute chakra are both difficult to control, and fusing them with other attributes is inherently a difficult task.

The difficulty of fusing two uncontrollable chakras is off the charts. If successful, Hongzhi feels he can create a Tailed Beast Ball by hand.

However, these are not particularly noteworthy. With the achievement of breaking the limit, the changes in Yin attribute and Water attribute, as well as the bloodline limit called Dark Water, were completely engraved on Hongzhi's genes.

This transformation was extremely painful. Stinging pains came from the depths of his mind. Compared to the full-body transformation he had experienced before, this transformation made Hongzhi feel like his head was about to explode.

It's unclear what the god who created the ninja world was thinking. After the bloodline limit is created, the body undergoes a complete transformation. This gave Hiroji the opportunity to find loopholes, but it also caused Hiroji unimaginable pain.

It feels like someone is playing the piano in your head. If it were just a beautiful melody, that would be wonderful, but your head is the piano itself.

Blood began to flow from Hongzhi's eyes, causing him extreme pain, as if something was truly being born.

Just as the birth of a new life is accompanied by unimaginable pain, Hongzhi is now experiencing the same thing.

The manifestation of Yin-attribute chakra bloodline limits is not fixed. Since Hongzhi has integrated it into his genes, it must play a role, just like Yang-attribute chakra continuously nourishes the body.
