The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Their lives were truly filled with hardship. As for Naruto Uzumaki, he was in a similar situation to Sasuke Uchiha; the two were like brothers in misfortune.

"They asked you for help when they were at Konoha Hospital."

After leaving the Hokage's office, Kakashi gave Hiroji a few words of advice, clearly indicating that the guy was still going to go and train like crazy. Hiroji could only nod silently in response.

Meanwhile, in a double room at Konoha Hospital, things were still quite lively.

Perhaps because the members of Class 7 were in such a sorry state, the members who graduated with them also came to visit them.

However, both Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were speechless about this.

Sasuke Uchiha disliked the noise of these people, while Naruto Uzumaki felt that all the excitement was Sasuke Uchiha's doing.

Of course, that's not the case. There were still a few people gathered around Naruto, such as Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and Shino Aburame.

As for Sasuke Uchiha's side, the most important ones are Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, with Hinata Hyuga following behind them, secretly watching Naruto Uzumaki.

Kiba Inuzuka stood in the middle, but his gaze kept glancing at Hinata Hyuga.

If Hongzhi were to describe the current situation, he could only say that the entertainment industry is truly chaotic.

However, Hiroji was not at Konoha Hospital at the moment. After returning to his residence, Hiroji went straight back to the Root base.

A large number of shadow clones have been diligently cultivating here for five days and five nights, so Hongzhi will probably need to rest for a while longer this time.

Being watched by a group of ANBU is quite troublesome. Hiroji has no chance to go to the Land of Waves and the Root base, which is very difficult to solve.

Fortunately, the benefits brought by the disappearance of the shadow clone are still very good. For example, the proficiency of Yin attribute transformation has reached the limit +4.

Although it wasn't very high, Hiroji clearly felt that using the Mangekyou Sharingan had become much easier.

Once the Yin attribute transformation reaches its limit +9, Hongzhi will stop training. This is not for any other reason than that Hongzhi wants to combine the final improvement of the Yin attribute transformation with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

That might yield unexpected results, and could potentially help Hiroji adapt directly to the fused eyes.

Although Hongzhi didn't even have a complete pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, he still had to have dreams.

After relieving his fatigue somewhat, Hongzhi created several shadow clones and went to the Root Laboratory to pack things up.

Is Chapter 131 possibly...?

The base in the Land of Waves is under construction in full swing. Hiroji can use summoning techniques to bring the scrolls from the Roots over, but the Land of Waves definitely doesn't have these experimental instruments.

Hongzhi needs to pack up the equipment at the Root Base and bring it back when the time is right. As for the Root Base itself, he can just leave a shadow clone and Danzo there.

Danzo, being in the Edo Tensei state, wouldn't starve, and since the shadow clones would change every day, the fatigue would be borne by Koji himself, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Hongzhi has no plans to release shadow clones tonight. Although he feels his stamina is still pretty good, he still needs to rest.

Although the shadow clones did not suddenly rebel, Hiroji generally did not plan to train at night.

While some shadow clones were collecting the equipment, Hiroji went directly to the place where the scrolls were stored, found the Flying Thunder God scroll, and began to study it carefully.

When he learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Hongzhi had looked at this scroll once. At the time, he was completely baffled and couldn't understand what the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was trying to write.

Fortunately, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was generous and seemed to hope that someone else would learn this incredible ninjutsu in the future, so he compiled all his insights into it.

With explanations, things that were originally obscure and difficult to understand become simple, but compared to the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is several levels higher.

Even now, Hongzhi cannot fully understand it, let alone study it to see if it can be improved in some aspects.

This made Hongzhi feel somewhat frustrated. Some things can be acquired later in life, and Hongzhi could solve many things that others could not understand through experimentation.

For example, the transplantation and fusion of Hashirama stem cells, and the closure of the transplanted Sharingan.

These achievements, when considered within the entire ninja world, are enough to shock the world.

Of course, there's also the understanding and modification of medical ninjutsu.

Even so, when Hongzhi was learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, it was just like when Naruto Uzumaki was learning the Shadow Clone Technique.

I have a few clues, but not many.

Hongzhi felt somewhat frustrated, but he wouldn't give up. There was still plenty of time. If he could master a space-time ninjutsu, he would be much safer when facing Itachi and Obito in the future.

In the end, Hiroji did not continue reading. He first combined the part he could understand with Minato Namikaze's explanation and his own understanding of the technique, and began to slowly study it.

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of thing they could create, Hongzhi was still somewhat looking forward to it; the Flying Thunder God was a huge treasure.

Even if you still can't learn it in the end, you certainly won't have wasted your time.

With this in mind, Hongzhi began to slowly study it. To complete the Flying Thunder God, the first thing needed was coordinates, and the first thing needed for the Flying Thunder God was to establish coordinates.

This is what is known as the Flying Thunder God Mark. Of course, simply having the Flying Thunder God Mark is not enough to succeed directly; the next thing is the key.

However, as the research into this area deepened, Hongzhi discovered something quite interesting.

This discovery has nothing to do with the Flying Thunder God Mark. Although the inspiration came from the Flying Thunder God Mark, Hiroji felt that if the inscription of the summoning technique was completed in this way, it might be more stable.

Although this discovery is not of any immediate use, since the original technique is already very stable, things would become more interesting if Hiroji were to learn the Flying Thunder God technique.

Of course, it doesn't actually have any special function in battle. In fact, there is such a way of using it in Flying Thunder God. Although it was created by Minato Namikaze, it does exist. That is the Flying Thunder God Barrier.

This refers to the method Minato Namikaze used to transfer Tailed Beast Balls: putting something in one place and then directly transferring it to another.

If Hiroji could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, and possess a special space, he would be able to establish a logistics service for the ninja world.

The shadow clone places the item in a scroll using a spell, transfers it directly to a special space using the Flying Thunder God seal, and then the main body summons it directly.

The difference between this and the Flying Thunder God Barrier is that it doesn't necessarily require Hongzhi to use it. Once the special incantation is inscribed, Hongzhi can be freed up.

This is still great for Hongzhi, since there are many things he always carries with him. If the Anbu were to directly inspect the scrolls on Hongzhi's body now, he would have no choice but to gloriously declare himself a rogue ninja.

After noting this down, Hiroji continued to study the remaining parts of Flying Thunder God. The former was the simplest part, while the latter was the most difficult.

Even with Minato Namikaze's annotations, Hiroji still had to understand them word by word and then slowly try them out.

Hongzhi studied until the wee hours of the morning, but the results were rather meager. After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique is a forbidden art that can only be fully mastered to unleash its power. If you only learn a part of it, it's basically the same as not learning it at all.

It doesn't seem like another unfinished ninjutsu of Minato Namikaze, namely the Rasengan.

The Rasengan itself is an unfinished ninjutsu, but its terrifying destructive power is already terrifying.

Minato Namikaze originally wanted to add attribute changes to the Rasengan. Although it is unclear what Minato Namikaze's chakra attribute is, Hiroji is certain that if Minato Namikaze lived longer, he would become even more terrifying.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Hokage's life passed by far too quickly from birth. While others were still in the Ninja Academy, he was already chasing girls. While others were just becoming Jonin and preparing to make a name for themselves, he was already famous throughout the ninja world.

The end result was that he was already dead just as others were taking over some family affairs...

It's quite impressive that they're always one step ahead of everyone else in everything they do.

"Minato Namikaze, Naruto Namikaze...tsk tsk tsk!"

After abandoning his research, Hongzhi immediately closed his eyes and began training. Putting aside everything else, Naruto Uzumaki's talent is definitely not as good as Minato Namikaze's at this point.

As for what happens next, it's probably going to be tough. However, as the reincarnation of Ashura, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto Uzumaki could easily have a cheat code, so there's no need for him to inherit such a talent.

"Wait... is it possible that Naruto's talent has weakened due to the influence of Ashura's chakra?"

Suddenly, something occurred to Hongzhi, who felt that this explanation was very likely; it was the only possibility that Hongzhi could think of.

However, Hongzhi had no way of verifying this matter.

The night was long, and in the ward of Konoha Hospital, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were destined to be sleepless.

The two did not exchange any words, but instead slowly looked out at the moonlight.

Please tell me Chapter 132

Their former arrogance and self-righteousness were crushed when they met Zabuza. They were so tired from training and had to have their blood drawn that they naturally didn't have the time or energy to think about these things.

But now, lying in the hospital room with nothing to do all day, it's natural to start having all sorts of wild thoughts.

The next morning, when Hiroji's clone, who had been busy at the Root Base, arrived at the ward, he was still busy.

What we saw were two rare animals, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, both sporting panda eyes.

"Since you're so energetic, let's proceed with the surgery right away, and then get straight to training. The enemy you've encountered is indeed very strong, but not invincible. I believe you'll soon surpass Zabuza and complete your revenge!"

Looking at the two of them, Hiroji found it extremely funny, but considering that Kudo Yuya was not far away, Hiroji held back.

Otherwise, he would be lectured for a while, which was unacceptable to Hongzhi, since his daily schedule was quite full.

I have to go to the Land of Waves every day, and then to the Root base. If I get taken away by a summoning jutsu while talking to Kudo Yuya, then it's basically impossible to explain.

This is why Hongzhi has recently started researching the Flying Thunder God Technique. It was relatively easier to explain when he was in Konoha, but now if he goes directly to the Land of Waves, it will not only take a long time, but it will also easily arouse suspicion.

If Hiroji had the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would be able to fly around freely, which would greatly enhance his stealth capabilities.

Inside operating room number one, Hongzhi quietly looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who had already closed his eyes. Compared to the curiosity he felt during his first surgery, Uchiha Sasuke seemed very skilled this time.

This surprised Hongzhi somewhat, but upon reflection, it was quite normal, as practice makes perfect.

"It feels like we've gone back a month. What did you do to deserve this kind of targeting?"

While helping Sasuke Uchiha recover his right leg, Hongzhi asked curiously. Of course, both of these things were initiated by Hongzhi, but Sasuke Uchiha was unaware of them. According to Konoha's understanding, Hongzhi should not know about them now either.

Sasuke Uchiha did not answer the question. His face turned extremely ugly. Clearly, after being crushed like this a second time, Sasuke Uchiha felt that he was getting further and further away from that guy.

The surgery was over quickly, and Sasuke Uchiha was wheeled away. Naruto Uzumaki came in next.

Compared to Sasuke Uchiha the second time, Naruto Uzumaki the first time was still a bit worrying. His questioning manner made Hongzhi want to slap him.

After the surgery was completed, Hongzhi led the two of them directly towards the back mountain of Konoha. Sasuke Uchiha needed Hongzhi to push him, while Naruto Uzumaki could walk on his own.

If he could trip and fall while walking, he wouldn't need to be a ninja. The road from Konoha Hospital to the back mountain is relatively secluded, so at least no one will suddenly appear and laugh at their miserable state.

"Since you're too excited to sleep tonight, let's train here. Don't worry about your health. With me here, as long as you don't die on the spot, I can basically save you."

He led the two to a grove of trees, found a comfortable spot to sit down, and then quietly watched Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

Although the two of them had insomnia last night, their training attitude was unusually enthusiastic, which surprised Hongzhi.

It's no wonder he's the protagonist; he has this much energy even without sleeping. Thinking of this, Hongzhi yawned casually.

While Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki were still training intensely, Kakashi Hatake had not yet begun his planned training program. Instead, he was conducting combat training with Sakura Haruno at a training ground.

Of course, this wasn't the training Sakura Haruno wanted to do; Kakashi had deliberately called her out.

Unfortunately, Sakura Haruno was also a member of Team 7, and Kakashi had originally planned to have Hiroji train her.

But when he tried to stop by to visit Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, he found Sakura Haruno walking alone and looking dejected in the hospital room.

After some investigation, Kakashi discovered the problem: according to the nurses at Konoha Hospital, Hiroji had left with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
