The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

At that moment, Sasuke Uchiha, who had been wary of his surroundings, turned ashen-faced.

Sasuke Uchiha's ninja skills were quite good; upon realizing this, his first reaction was to immediately protect Tazuna.

It turned out that relying solely on Sasuke Uchiha's power was insufficient; the kunai he threw was easily dodged by Hiroji.

Of course, this did have some effect. Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, who hadn't even reacted yet, launched their attacks, although Hiroji easily dodged them.

However, from a certain perspective, Hongzhi, who was wielding the decapitation sword, was already surrounded by the three men.

The only difference is that Tazuna, the client who needs protection, has become a hostage.

"hateful!"

Upon seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki cursed angrily and immediately used the Shadow Clone Technique, instantly turning the three-person encirclement into a group of more than a dozen people.

"If you dare to lay a hand on him, this old man is dead. Your mission should be to protect this big liar!"

Looking at Naruto's shadow clones, Hiroji had a strange feeling. Perhaps because he understood shadow clones well enough, Hiroji could clearly sense which one was Naruto's original body.

This was a devastating blow to Naruto, whose fighting style was to use shadow clones to charge straight in.

If Naruto's location could be known in advance, his tactics would be essentially halved.

Of course, this refers to the period before Naruto learned Sage Mode. After Naruto learned Sage Mode, although Shadow Clone Jutsu became the mainstream fighting method, he would not be easily defeated even after losing the advantage of Shadow Clone Jutsu.

The two who were initially itching to make a move immediately stopped, and Sakura Haruno's expression turned numb when she saw Zabuza.

Not running away immediately already shows good combat skills. If you ask her to counterattack under such circumstances, sorry, Sakura Haruno can't do it right now.

Seeing that the three did not react, Hiroji pressed Tazuna's shoulder with his left hand, rendering him unable to move, while slowly raising the Executioner's Blade with his right hand.

Upon seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha subconsciously looked at Naruto Uzumaki. Finding that Naruto was also looking at him, Sasuke nodded and immediately had an idea!

Just as the executioner's blade was about to fall, Hongzhi's attention was not on the guy named Tazuna. Uchiha Sasuke couldn't just watch Tazuna die; he needed to react.

The guillotine will strike him directly, and Tazna is merely a decoy.

The reality was somewhat different from what Hongzhi had anticipated. It wasn't Uchiha Sasuke who reacted first, but Uzumaki Naruto.

Seemingly realizing that conventional methods were ineffective, Naruto's shadow clones directly used the Transformation Jutsu.

As a result, a group of hot women appeared in front of everyone, and Uchiha Sasuke took this opportunity to launch an attack on Hongzhi with Uzumaki Naruto.

Sakura Haruno stood there dumbfounded, completely unprepared for Naruto Uzumaki's ability to use such a ninjutsu.

However, the one with the strongest reaction was not Sakura Haruno, but Tazuna. After seeing Naruto Uzumaki's self-created Sexy Jutsu, he actually had a nosebleed, and the amount of blood he bled was comparable to that of Hiruzen Sarutobi when he saw the power of Sexy Jutsu.

The battle plan was executed perfectly. When Hongzhi saw the Harem Technique, his eyes were a little unnatural. It wasn't because he was attracted, but because he felt a little speechless.

How could such ninjutsu possibly be effective against Hongzhi? As the ninja with the greatest unpredictability, Naruto's techniques can indeed sometimes achieve miraculous results.

However, this miraculous effect would not occur for Hongzhi, not because of anything else, but because Hongzhi's purpose was very clear. How could he be attracted by a mere harem technique?

Because Zabuza was covered in bandages, the members of Team 7 couldn't see Hiroji's expression.

Thinking that Hiroji was distracted, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki took immediate action. The former was responsible for rescuing Tazuna, while the latter tried to find a way to continue to attract Hiroji's attention.

The two's tactics were very successful, thanks to Hiroji deliberately creating an opening. Tazuna was pulled away from the Executioner's Blade's aim by Uchiha Sasuke...

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Naruto launched an attack on Hiroji. Everything was perfect, marking a partial victory for Team 7.

However, just as Sasuke Uchiha was sending Tazuna to Sakura Haruno, preparing to continue cooperating with Naruto Uzumaki.

Sakura Haruno, who had been staring at Hiroji, suddenly shouted:

"Sasuke!"

Chapter 122 Imperfections and Flaws, Yet Complementing Each Other

Sakura Haruno's almost screaming words caught Sasuke Uchiha's attention, but even so, it couldn't change the final outcome.

Sasuke Uchiha instinctively turned around and launched an attack directly into the clan's blind spot, but it had no effect.

Hiroji, who was supposed to be held back by Naruto Uzumaki, suddenly appeared behind Sasuke Uchiha and began to wield his Executioner's Blade.

A blush turned Sakura Haruno's face deathly pale. Sasuke Uchiha reacted quickly, immediately using the Substitution Jutsu.

Even so, it was still a bit slow. By the time the substitution jutsu took effect, a deep, bone-revealing wound had appeared on Uchiha Sasuke's back.

This caused Sakura Haruno, who had never experienced anything like this before, to scream out loud and then collapse to the ground with her legs giving way.

Hiroji subconsciously looked at Sakura Haruno. Originally, Hiroji wanted to treat everyone equally, but that would mean he would waste a lot of time on Sakura Haruno during the subsequent treatments.

But now that Sakura Haruno has completely lost her fighting spirit, there's no need for Hiroji to give himself any more tasks.

Although Sasuke Uchiha used the Substitution Jutsu to dodge the fatal attack, in his current situation, activating the Sharingan would be of no use if he wanted to continue fighting.

Such horrific external injuries rendered Sasuke Uchiha essentially useless; even if he wanted to continue fighting, his body wouldn't allow it.

If it's an internal injury, it can be suppressed with some effort, but external injuries will directly affect the movement of the entire body.

Sasuke Uchiha can't do these things right now...

"Sasuke!"

Another scream rang out, but this time it wasn't Sakura Haruno who made the sound, but Naruto Uzumaki, who hadn't even realized that Hiroji had disappeared.

It was all because of his mistakes that Sasuke Uchiha became what he is now, which made Naruto Uzumaki feel extremely guilty and indescribably angry!

Hongzhi ignored the incompetent and furious Uzumaki Naruto. Right now, his chakra control was extremely weak. Even if his emotions caused the Nine-Tails' chakra to overflow, it wouldn't directly cause his strength to leap forward; at most, he would just become stronger.

Hongzhi could handle it perfectly well.

Ignoring the enraged Naruto Uzumaki charging towards him, Hiroji instantly appeared behind Sasuke Uchiha using the Body Flicker Technique, slowly raising the Executioner's Blade in his hand.

Get moving!

Sasuke Uchiha screamed inwardly, but the pain in his body only allowed him to move with difficulty; it was impossible for him to dodge directly.

The moment the decapitation blade fell, a blood-red figure crashed directly into Hongzhi. It was Naruto Uzumaki, whose body was overflowing with the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Although his charge did cause some trouble for Hongzhi, that wasn't the main point.

Hongzhi originally aimed at Sasuke Uchiha's calf, but due to Naruto Uzumaki's impact, there was still a gap between where Hongzhi aimed and where he actually hit the target.

Sasuke Uchiha had most of his body above the knees cut off by the Executioner's Blade. As for Hiroji, with his superhuman strength, there was no way he could break through the bones.

Uchiha Sasuke felt a sharp pain and then immediately lost all sensation in his legs.

Having experienced losing an arm, Uchiha Sasuke naturally knew what this meant. At this moment, he felt somewhat powerless. Was the gap really that big?

How are we supposed to face that devil if things continue like this? How come a random ninja I meet is so terrifyingly strong?

While Sasuke Uchiha was still feeling frustrated, Naruto Uzumaki was experiencing a headache, though it wasn't an internal injury, but rather an external one.

According to Naruto Uzumaki's thinking, the person in front of him should have been knocked aside by him, and Sasuke Uchiha should have been saved as a result.

However, things didn't go as he expected at all. When he crashed into the man, it felt like he had hit a big tree.

Although the tree swayed as a result, Naruto Uzumaki felt like a little white rabbit that had been hit and killed.

"Tch... Is this the level of Kakashi Hatake's students? That medical ninja was actually quite strong, but unfortunately he ran too fast!"

With a backhand swipe of his Executioner's Blade, he slammed it down on Naruto's head, giving a cold assessment.

Naruto, who was already feeling dizzy, was knocked unconscious and then trampled underfoot by Hiroji.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was still overflowing, but Naruto Uzumaki hadn't even grown a single tail yet, clearly indicating that the Nine-Tails hadn't even tried to use its true power.

It would be extremely difficult for Naruto Uzumaki to break free from Hongzhi's control in his current state.

In Naruto's unwilling anger, Hiroji slowly raised the Executioner's Blade.

Upon seeing this scene, Sasuke Uchiha, who was lying in the distance, twitched his eyelids, while Sakura Haruno's already lifeless eyes completely lost all color.

She fainted on the spot. When Hongzhi saw this, his mouth twitched. This girl was just a burden.

Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki are in a bad situation right now, but that's because Hiroji's strength is overwhelming. If it were an ordinary Jonin, they might not have been able to achieve the same result.

However, Sakura Haruno is different. This is not a matter of strength, but a matter of mind. If she cannot get over it, she probably will not be able to become a ninja in the future.

This refers, of course, to ninjas who go out on missions and fight.

The decapitation blade struck quickly, at least for Hongzhi. Naruto Uzumaki, who was still struggling frantically, had his right arm severed.

The sudden, intense pain brought Naruto to his senses somewhat. As Naruto gradually regained consciousness, the amount of Nine-Tails chakra that was overflowing decreased, since Naruto was not actively using the Nine-Tails' power at this moment.

"It's truly disappointing. Is this all the new generation in Konoha is capable of?"

After severing Naruto's right arm, Hiroji coldly commented before swinging his Executioner's Blade once more.

This time, the target is Naruto's left arm. No one can help him. Sasuke Uchiha is helpless, and Sakura Haruno faints.

Kakashi was trapped, and Hiroji was the one who ruthlessly wielded the Executioner's Blade.

After his arms were cut off, Naruto Uzumaki felt a sense of despair. At this moment, the Nine-Tails' chakra, which had been almost dissipating, began to reappear.

Upon seeing this, Hongzhi immediately used the back of his decapitation sword to strike him.

The Nine-Tails' chakra that had been surfacing vanished without a trace, and Naruto Uzumaki was knocked unconscious. Even if the Nine-Tails wanted to cause trouble, it wouldn't make any difference.

Unless it can break through the seal directly, but if it could, it wouldn't have been trapped inside Naruto's body for so long.

"One person lost an arm, another lost a leg; both are crippled, yet they complement each other!"

Hongzhi slowly walked away into the distance. As he passed by Uchiha Sasuke, he casually knocked Uchiha Sasuke unconscious as well.

A trio, perhaps?

It has to be neat and tidy.

Chapter 123 Kakashi-senpai, you flatter me.

If Uchiha Sasuke had remained conscious, wouldn't the group of shadow clones who came to collect the spoils have been exposed?

To prevent this from happening, Hongzhi could only send him to sleep.

After the trio were all knocked unconscious, Hiroji slowly walked towards the distant woods. If he remembered correctly, Tazuna, who had just realized something was wrong, should have been moving in that direction.

Although he didn't know what the point of that guy's escape was, Hiroji still had to act convincingly; Tazuna was bound to pay the price.

Of course, this wasn't because that guy had questioned whether Hiroji was a suitable member of the group, but because Zabuza himself came looking for him.

The fact that the three members of Team 7 all suffered such a terrible fate, while Tazuna, the protagonist, remained completely unharmed, is really hard to believe.
