The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

After stopping the bleeding, Tazuna looked at Hiroji, remained silent for a moment, and then shamelessly spoke:

"Could you go over there and check if my severed arm and leg are still there? I'm sorry, but the Land of Waves really needs a bridge!"

Hongzhi ignored him and began to carefully treat the wound on Uchiha Sasuke's back, while Kakashi remained silent for a moment before finally sending the ninja dogs to search for it.

Of course, he wasn't doing it for Tazuna, but rather to see if he could find the missing parts of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki. If he could find them, Hiroji would definitely be able to put them back in place.

In the thick fog, Hongzhi took out a scroll and sealed the decapitation sword directly, even though the sword still had a spirit communication spell on it.

Hongzhi didn't want the spoils of war to disappear inexplicably, so he had no choice but to seal them away.

Chapter 125 Shouldn't you thank me?

Ultimately, the ninja dog brought no good news. Once the thick fog had completely dissipated, Hongzhi quietly gazed into the distance.

The matter of the decapitation sword is quite complicated to resolve, and it certainly can't be done in the short term.

Hongzhi waited here for nightfall. His shadow clone had already transformed into Zabuza and was walking towards the Land of Waves with Haku. Hongzhi believed that it wouldn't be long before he received the news.

As for Team 7, with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha in such a sorry state, Kakashi definitely won't carry out the mission.

Not requesting Konoha's support is already a good outcome, but that seems unlikely, as Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha are both quite important.

Kakashi has no reason not to request support, since the team that arrives in the Land of Waves will definitely consist of Jonin.

However, the primary goal of such a team is definitely not revenge, but rather to find a way to bring Class 7 back intact.

Although that's what they say on the surface, the core focus of protection is definitely on Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake. As for Sakura Haruno, there's probably no reason for her to receive any special treatment.

Of course, Hongzhi would definitely be treated specially. If something were to happen to Hongzhi, it would be impossible for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to continue their battle.

However, having learned from the previous experience, if he is not in a particular hurry, Hongzhi is confident that he can fully restore the two of them before returning to Konoha.

Because all of this was planned by Hongzhi, he brought with him from the beginning the blood-replenishing medicine specially made by Konoha Hospital. These medicines were specially modified by Hongzhi in order to deal with this situation.

Kudo Yuya and Sarutobi Hiruzen saw no problem with this, as there were many other places where blood-replenishing medicine was needed, aside from the regeneration technique.

The blood-tonifying medicine that Hiroji improved was praised by Kudo Yuya, even though its usage was completely different from Hiroji's original idea.

However, none of these are problems. These blood-replenishing medicines have now become the key to Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki's rapid recovery.

Kakashi led his team out of the Land of Waves. Although Zabuza had already left, who knew if he would reappear?

There are three burdens in the team now, and if we go into battle, the result will inevitably be heavy losses.

Of course, this was just Kakashi's idea. Sakura Haruno, who had regained consciousness, looked at Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, who were still unconscious, and occasionally gazed into the distance. There was no spirit in her eyes, only a deathly stillness.

As for the shadow clones, they were doing their best to take care of the two wounded. As for Tazuna, as long as he was alive, that was enough. If he wanted any special treatment, he was dreaming!

As for whether this guy will face any special treatment after returning to Konoha, nobody knows.

Meanwhile, the shadow clone and Bai arrived at a secluded base, a place that seemed to belong only to the two of them.

Upon entering the base, the shadow clones curiously surveyed their surroundings. Just then, a bloated fat man appeared in front of the two shadow clones.

According to the shadow clone's memories, this guy should be the mastermind behind the Land of Waves, namely Gato, who secretly controls the entire Land of Waves' water transport.

"It seems you've succeeded. All that money I spent wasn't in vain..."

Kado's expression was incredibly irritating, and the shadow clone didn't hold back either, using a teleportation technique to appear behind him and tearing off one of his arms.

Zabuza...

Upon experiencing intense pain, Kado's expression contorted. He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately collapsed to the ground. After all, he was a pampered fellow; how could he possibly endure such pain?

"The environment here is nice; with a little renovation, it could become a great laboratory."

Ignoring the unconscious Kado and not noticing Haku's strange expression, the shadow clone spoke to himself.

Of course, to prevent direct exposure, Hongzhi still carried a decapitation sword, but it was just a fake.

Although Haku is a very meticulous person, he wouldn't overly doubt Zabuza, after all, the relationship between the two is really hard to fathom.

These words immediately put Haku on guard. Although he had felt something was off along the way, Zabuza's actions and words now were not those of the Zabuza-sama he used to know.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Noticing this, Bai went directly to the shadow clone. His words were somewhat cold, but even so, something still seemed off.

Is this guy really a man?

Hongzhi was very skeptical about this, but he wouldn't investigate it directly. Although the bloodline limit Ice Release wasn't rare, it was still a decent bloodline limit, and Hongzhi wanted to study it.

Otherwise, Zabuza's little follower would have been waiting to be resurrected in the fountain just like Zabuza.

"Don't worry, your Zabuza is fine. You'll be able to see him soon!"

Hongzhi answered Bai's question with a smile, then tossed Kado's arm aside, took out a red scroll, and began to perform a summoning spell, or more accurately, a reverse summoning spell.

After a cloud of smoke, Hongzhi appeared directly in the base. After taking a quick look around, he discovered that Kado was still alive.

With a smile, Hongzhi took out the scroll of the Impure World Reincarnation, which already sealed Zabuza's corpse.

"What's about to happen might make you uncomfortable. Are you sure you want to watch it?"

As he prepared to perform the Impure World Reincarnation, Hongzhi turned to look at the wary Bai and tentatively asked, since this was still somewhat cruel to Bai.

"Where is Zabuza-san?!"

Bai still had the same problem. If it weren't for that guy impersonating Lord Zabuza keeping an eye on him, he would have already taken action.

"You'll see it soon."

Hiroji smiled and spoke, then directly unsealed Zabuza's corpse and immediately used the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

When Zabuza's corpse appeared, Haku lost control and tried to rush over, but before he could make a move, he was controlled by the shadow clone.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique succeeded. The previously unconscious Gato let out a series of screams, and then, amidst a flurry of paper scraps, he transformed into Zabuza, who had lost his life for refusing Hiroji's proposal.

"Look, I've resurrected your dearest Zabuza. Shouldn't you thank me?"

Before Zabuza even opened his eyes, Hiroji turned his head and smiled at Shiro, who was gradually giving up resistance.

"What's going on?!"

Zabuza's bewildered voice came through the phone. His last memory was filled with resentment, and he never expected to open his eyes again.

what on earth is it?

Chapter 126 Live Well

"Knowing too much won't do you any good. If you don't want to end up like this, neither human nor ghost, you'd better go and catch me a wandering ninja right now!"

As for Zabuza's situation, Hiroji believed there was no explanation for it. As for Haku, if he had cooperated with the experiments honestly, he would naturally have survived.

However, if they don't cooperate, they will naturally receive the same treatment as Zabuza.

As for studying the structural proportions of the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, it is possible to use Haku's corpse as a reference, since the birth of the Kekkei Genkai will cause some changes within the body.

Given Hongzhi's medical expertise, it would be quite easy for him to deduce the approximate proportions of the Ice Release bloodline limit from this point.

As for Haku, what Koji cared about was the bloodline limit he possessed, not the person himself.

She's not a cute girl, what's the point?

Of course, cute girls didn't hold much appeal for Hongzhi; in the end, they were all just nourishment for the sacred tree, so Hongzhi naturally wouldn't react to them.

"Mr. Zabuza."

As Hongzhi finished speaking, Bai's voice came: if the shadow clone hadn't been controlling him, it probably would have already arrived at Zabuza's side.

"Live well."

Faced with this situation, Zabuza could only speak like this. Although he still didn't understand how he died, there was no point in thinking about it now that he was already dead.

As for Haku, whom he had taken in out of momentary pity, this was all he could do. A Konoha ninja capable of instantly defeating him should have the strength to protect this child…

After saying this, Zabuza left the base without any hesitation. Although the Impure World Reincarnation technique is not invincible, that applies to those overpowered characters, and Zabuza clearly does not have that ability.

In addition, the control characteristics make it extremely difficult to break free through willpower alone. Moreover, as the limit-breaking level of the Impure World Reincarnation increases, this difficulty will be raised to an unimaginable level.

At that time, only someone like Madara Uchiha, who directly knows the code, will likely be able to escape Hiroji's Impure World Reincarnation. As for Itachi Uchiha, relying on Kotoamatsukami will probably not work.

"Zabuza hopes you live well, and he hopes you won't let him down. By the way, the clothes you're wearing should be from the Hidden Mist Village's pursuit team. If you have any extras, I hope you can provide a set..."

After Zabuza left, Hiroji signaled to his shadow clone to release Haku, and then began to examine the clothes on the guy's body.

The Kirigakure Pursuit Force is a team specifically responsible for hunting down rogue ninja in Kirigakure. In contrast to Konoha, it is the Anbu responsible for the pursuit.

That was roughly the analogy. After hearing this, Bai remained silent for a moment, then disappeared from the spot.

Not long after, he arrived at Hongzhi's place wearing a complete outfit, complete with a mask.

After obtaining these items, Hongzhi suddenly had a good idea: perhaps he could use this identity to handle some matters that were inconvenient to deal with openly.

For example, there seems to be a Kisame in the Akatsuki organization, who is a rogue ninja from Kirigakure and also Itachi Uchiha's partner.

Perhaps by using this identity, he could hunt down Kisame and Itachi Uchiha. Ostensibly, he would target Kisame, but in reality, he would want Shisui's other eye, which was in Itachi's possession.

"You can stay in the base indefinitely, but I need you to help me research the mysteries of bloodline limits. If you agree, you can see your Zabuza every day. Of course, if you don't agree, you can still see Zabuza every day..."

After accepting the clothes, Hongzhi maintained his smile. Bai, sitting opposite him, nodded silently. Because of the mask, Hongzhi couldn't see the expression on Bai's face, which was a bit of a pity.

However, it wasn't a big problem. After the agreement was reached, Hongzhi immediately took out the scroll that would eradicate the root of tongue-related troubles.

It's one thing to be willing to let him stay here, but keeping it a secret is another matter. Hongzhi didn't use a transformation technique to change his appearance, so Bai still needs to be careful not to leak the secret.

As for Zabuza, how could a reanimated creature like him possibly leak secrets?

As the number of people using the Impure World Reincarnation technique increases, it's impossible for Hongzhi to precisely control everyone, but controlling three to five people with a single shadow clone is still no problem.

A reanimated ninja trying to reveal secrets? Not a chance.

Perhaps still unable to accept the news of Zabuza's death, Haku appeared dazed and confused.

This posed no problem for Hongzhi. Researching bloodline limits was Hongzhi's own business; all he needed was Haku's blood and his understanding of Ice Release.

Even if Bai is in a bad mood, even if he chooses to die, Hongzhi can bring him back to life.

It's nothing more than a matter of being reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation.

Hongzhi was not a bloodthirsty person and would not choose to kill without a reason. Of course, he would have a reason to kill those wicked wandering ninjas.

Hiroji wanted to establish a laboratory and training base in the Land of Waves, and naturally hoped that there would be fewer and fewer ninjas there. The existence of those wandering ninjas was hindering this process.
