The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

"clear."

Kabuto nodded, no longer thinking about the matter. Originally, he was the one staying in Konoha at this moment, but because of that brat, not only did his strength stagnate, but Orochimaru's intelligence network in Konoha was also completely eradicated.

This made Kabuto feel somewhat aggrieved. If none of these things had happened, why would he need to ask others about Sasuke Uchiha?

Sasuke Uchiha should be under Orochimaru's surveillance!

"Tell them to be careful, especially about that guy lurking in the roots. Of course, if problems arise, we can try to cause him some trouble!"

As if he had just thought of something, Orochimaru sneered and then looked in the direction of Konoha.

That guy's attempt to deceive us with false information is doomed to fail. Even if we can't get the specific details about Uchiha Sasuke this time, we can still cause him some trouble.

"clear."

Kabuto Yakushi also revealed a sinister smile. He would never forget what happened back then, and if he had the chance, he would definitely make that guy understand what cruelty meant!

Hongzhi was unaware of Orochimaru's thoughts, and of course, even if he knew, it wouldn't have mattered; Hongzhi seemed to have vanished from Konoha.

No one would bother him; in fact, there were even secret agents patrolling the area. Seeing this, Hongzhi felt somewhat speechless.

As for the combat strength of the Anbu, it's really too weak. If someone really wanted to do something to him, Hongzhi would probably be captured while the Anbu were still standing there in a daze.

However, such a situation is definitely unlikely. Unless someone is mentally unstable, they wouldn't bother Hongzhi. What need would there be for targeting a medical ninja?

At least that's what the spies thought. As for how long the matter of the healing and regeneration technique could be kept secret, that was something Hongzhi couldn't be sure of.

However, one thing is certain: one day in the future, the entire ninja world will want to get Hongzhi.

But this is impossible, because they cannot defeat Hongzhi.

Time passed quickly. About a month later, Hongzhi still had no problems, but the Root Base received several spies from the Dark Guard.

There were even some guys who tried to enter the Roots base, only to be captured on the spot.

They were all Orochimaru's subordinates, a piece of information that Hongzhi obtained from the interrogation room, which left him speechless.

Orochimaru's distrust of such a trustworthy partner left Hongzhi somewhat helpless.

"Tell Orochimaru that Sasuke Uchiha has gone on a mission. As for you, you'd better obediently become sacrifices!"

After giving Danzo an order, Koji immediately took out the scroll of Impure World Reincarnation and began to perform the procedure. Unfortunately, the six spies could only create five Impure World Reincarnated individuals, as corpses could not be used as sacrifices.

Danzo was somewhat resistant to this, but as an impure resurrected being, he had no power to resist and could only use the white snake to transmit information to Orochimaru.

The Land of Fields, the Village of Sound.

Orochimaru's expression gradually twisted as he looked at the information coming from Konoha.

Uchiha Sasuke went on a mission. Did he go in a wheelchair?

This information was painstakingly collected by his subordinates; how could it be fake? Many people witnessed Uchiha Sasuke carrying out his mission; how could this be false!

"Lord Orochimaru, news has come from Danzo's side."

While Orochimaru was still confused, Kabuto Yakushi walked in and placed a scroll in front of Orochimaru.

Upon hearing Danzo's name, Orochimaru was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized that it was probably that guy's doing again!

"Sasuke Uchiha did indeed go on a mission. That guy was actually lying to us before!"

After reading the information above, Orochimaru felt somewhat speechless. Your first piece of information was fake, but the second one is the real thing.

Are you taking me for a fool?

Orochimaru was speechless for a moment, and then stopped paying attention to the matter. Since Uchiha Sasuke was fine, then everything he had done had not been in vain.

We can patiently wait for the right opportunity to arrive!

Chapter 139 Is this a brand new Palm Immortal Technique?

After having Danzo reply to Orochimaru's matter, Hongzhi stopped paying attention to it, and winter soon arrived.

Kakashi has led Team 7 on a mission. This mission seems to be a C-rank mission, and it's rumored to be related to a certain important figure.

This was all information that Kakashi had revealed to Hongzhi before the mission, but Hongzhi didn't pay attention to it. He had already collected enough stem cells from Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, and he didn't want to buy any more this time.

The Chakra Scalpel and Healing Palm Technique have successfully reached +10 limits thanks to the efforts of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Now, those shadow clones are constantly flying around outside the base in the Land of Waves, increasing the progress of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

The sight of roughly two thousand shadow clones flying around was quite spectacular, but the daimyo of the Land of Waves had turned that area into a restricted zone, so basically no one went there.

As for the wandering ninjas and black market people from outside, they will immediately become part of the Edo Tensei army and begin to gather intelligence for Hiroji.

Hiroji was uncertain about the overall situation in the Land of Waves, but he was certain that there would be no problems at his base. As for whether Gato and the Daimyo, who had gained immortality, would oppress the common people even more as a result, he wondered.

Hongzhi wouldn't bother with it, but if anyone tried to get close to the base, then he was out of luck.

Just go die!

Everything was going smoothly in the Land of Waves, while Hiroji himself was diligently developing his Storm Release bloodline limit and learning sealing techniques.

After learning it, Hongzhi was able to train directly with his shadow clone the next day. Hongzhi once wanted to try the effect of the Reaper Death Seal, but after careful consideration, he felt it was better not to fight the Grim Reaper head-on.

However, Hongzhi discovered something quite interesting: he could control those reanimated ninjas to use the Reaper Death Seal to perish together with others, and in the end, both of their souls would be taken away by the Shinigami.

This move seems like a good option for dealing with Itachi Uchiha.

Of course, it can also be used to deal with Obito Uchiha, since the Sharingan will still remain after the soul is taken away.

As for Itachi Uchiha's crows, if Itachi's corpse is still around, a little blood will be enough to make the crows appear.

After realizing this, Hongzhi became much happier. He could then directly use the reanimated ninjas to fight, and even if Itachi Uchiha used the Totsuka Blade, it wouldn't be effective.

The Edo Tensei army is approaching five thousand. Although most of them are rogue ninjas and members of the black market, if Itachi Uchiha uses the Totsuka Blade continuously, he will probably be exhausted to death.

Unfortunately, the events in the Land of Waves did not attract Itachi Uchiha's attention. Hiroji did not believe that Itachi Uchiha was unaware that Sasuke Uchiha's teacher was Kakashi.

However, with Itachi Uchiha nowhere to be found, Hiroji didn't have any good ideas. Nevertheless, Hiroji was still actively searching for information about Itachi Uchiha.

If Hiroji could obtain Uchiha Shisui's left eye from him, he could acquire an Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Although Hiroji still didn't know how to fuse the eyes, once he got it, there would definitely be a way.

Unfortunately, it's still dangerous to have no trace of them. As for Obito Uchiha, that guy is even more cautious and is basically always with Black Zetsu. Hongzhi is quite wary of Black Zetsu.

If possible, Hiroji did not want Black Zetsu to know any information about him.

The best way to deal with Obito Uchiha is to have a reanimated ninja do it; that would be the safest option.

Winter wasn't completely over when Kakashi and Team 7 returned. The three seemed to be in good condition, indicating that the mission had been successfully completed.

From the few words they gleaned, Hongzhi discovered that they had gone to the outskirts of the Land of Fire, and their mission was to deal with some bandits who wanted to establish their own independent state—a relatively simple task.

After their chat, Hiroji noticed that the trio seemed restless, so he looked at Kakashi with a puzzled expression.

"I promised them that if they successfully complete the mission, I can spar with you..."

Faced with Hiroji's gaze, Kakashi spoke somewhat awkwardly. He hadn't discussed this matter with Hiroji beforehand, so coming over now was rather embarrassing.

"Interesting. It seems the three of them are quite confident in their abilities."

Hongzhi did not reject this idea; it was simply a matter of playing house with the three of them. Winning would not be an easy task.

The battle took place in the training ground, with Kakashi acting as the referee. Perhaps thinking that Hiroji's strength was too weak, the three of them did not choose to fight together, but instead chose to fight one-on-one.

This made Hongzhi feel underestimated, but it didn't matter. Facing Naruto, who was the first to jump out, Hongzhi was still somewhat looking forward to seeing if this guy would bring any surprises.

However, the result was still the familiar shadow clone tactic, and Naruto Uzumaki, who was mixed in with the shadow clones, was slapped directly into a big tree by Hiroji.

Naruto Uzumaki had several broken bones and needed Hiroji's treatment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hiroji showed Kakashi, who was watching the battle, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was peeking through a crystal ball, his half-finished bloodline limit.

Although it's a semi-finished product, its recovery speed is still much faster than that of the regular Palm Healing Technique, not to mention the +12 rapid healing of the Palm Healing Technique.

"This is!"

Kakashi, who couldn't bear to look at Naruto's miserable state, was suddenly drawn to the Healing Palm Technique. Although it looked exactly like the Healing Palm Technique, Kakashi could sense a strong life force in it.

"It's just a preliminary result, no need to be so surprised."

Hongzhi spoke with a smile, then released Naruto Uzumaki and turned to look at Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno.

Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, who had initially had some expectations, realized that their suggestion was not a good thing after seeing Naruto's miserable state.

The final result proved this point. Sasuke Uchiha was pinned to the tree by kunai. Although he did not suffer a fatal injury, he was still unable to move.

Sakura Haruno was relatively lucky; in the end, she only had a chakra scalpel pressed against her throat.

After treating Class 7, Hongzhi treated them to a meal. If he stayed at home without achieving any results, others would definitely have complaints.

However, the appearance of Team 7 gave Hiroji a platform to show his progress. While Hiroji and Team 7 were having dinner, Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office turned his head to look at Yuya Kudo, who had a blank expression.

"Is this a brand new Palm Healing Technique?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked somewhat uncertainly, having heard from Yuya Kudo that Hiroji seemed to be researching a brand new Palm Healing Technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was initially unsure, but after witnessing the speed at which Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's wounds healed, he felt his worldview crumble.

Is this really medical ninjutsu? It's comparable to the First Hokage's auto-healing ability!

Chapter 140 Well-Deserved

"I think so!"

Kudo Yuya's answer was somewhat uncertain, as Hiroji had already selectively disappeared for several months.

Recalling their last conversation, the guy seemed to have made some special discovery.

At the time, she thought it was just a matter of creating a brand new magic technique, but now it seems that's not the case. If this is the final result, then it's truly terrifying.

If all the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital learned this kind of medical ninjutsu, it's safe to say that as long as they don't die on the spot, they can basically be saved.

"Hmm...let him focus on his research in peace."

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally gave his conclusion. He felt that Hiroji was not the kind of person who kept things to himself. If this was the new Palm Healing Technique, he should find Kudo Yuuya soon, or go directly to him.

However, if Hiroji did not take this action, it would mean that this might not be the final result, meaning that it is very likely an unfinished ninjutsu, just like the Rasengan.

Even so, the power of both is undeniable, and this medical ninjutsu is definitely more valuable than the Rasengan.

"Ok."

Kudo Yuya nodded. Without Hiruzen Sarutobi's reminder, she wouldn't have bothered to manage Hiroji, especially after witnessing this miraculous medical ninjutsu.

"No, when Senior Hongzhi fought us, he actually used ruthless methods, it was just too much..."

Meanwhile, Naruto Uzumaki, who was walking out of Ichiraku Ramen, was also complaining that, apart from the time he lost his arm, this was the most serious injury he had ever sustained.
