The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Chapter 149 Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom? Are you kidding me!

The fusion of the vortex stem cells went exceptionally smoothly, allowing another shadow clone to take over. The shadow clone that brought Karin to the Root Base returned.

After confirming that Karin was still there, the shadow clone sat down at a distance and watched Karin eating.

She had lost the Grass Village headband, but she didn't immediately put on the Konoha headband either, clearly indicating that she still harbored some resentment towards Konoha.

Or rather, the entire Uzumaki clan harbored some resentment towards Konoha.

"Joining Konoha is the best choice for you, because Konoha's medical ninjas are very strong, and they don't need your physique at all."

The shadow clone, disguised as a Root member, talked to itself, completely oblivious to whether Karin was listening. All it needed to do was make sure that Karin was still under its control.

As for the rest, there are no problems. As for her identity, no one will say anything. Even if the Hidden Grass Village finds out, they can probably only mutter a few curses.

The actions of the shadow clones naturally wouldn't affect the Chunin Exams. During this time, the trio of Team 7 encountered the biggest crisis in their history: they met Orochimaru.

Orochimaru's genjutsu alone rendered Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno helpless. If Naruto Uzumaki hadn't broken free of his restraints, they would probably be dead by now.

Even though Naruto's appearance rallied Sasuke Uchiha, the battle was still far from over.

Naruto Uzumaki, who was showing signs of unleashing the Nine-Tails' chakra, was immediately sealed away by Orochimaru. As for Sasuke Uchiha, after what he thought was a very cool burst of energy, he successfully made Orochimaru shed his skin.

Such a record was already very impressive, but it was far from enough. In the end, Orochimaru left a cursed seal on Uchiha Sasuke's neck, and he fell into a coma.

After finishing his business, Orochimaru calmly left and encountered his former good disciple, Mitarashi Anko, on the way. He then stopped Anko from exchanging one of his earth clones for another.

Because of Orochimaru's appearance, Hiroji, who was on paid leave, was forced to work overtime. The person who came was Mitarashi Anko. Because of seeing Orochimaru, the place on her neck where Orochimaru had left a curse mark began to hurt.

Because of this, her strength was affected.

"Interesting. No wonder he's one of the Legendary Sannin..."

Hiroji began to study the curse mark on Mitarashi Anko's neck. It would be easy for Hiroji to remove the curse mark, but that would expose his ability to use sealing techniques.

Moreover, this is Orochimaru's backup plan. If it's destroyed, Orochimaru will probably be in a bad position.

However, Hongzhi could take this opportunity to study the principle of injecting Orochimaru's own chakra and Jugo's cells into his body, and then using some special techniques to fuse them with his body.

However, this power could never be integrated into Mitarashi Anko's body. If Hiroji continued to use the Resurrection Technique, he would be able to extract the energy of the cursed seal.

After all, the curse mark on Mitarashi Anko's body is sealed and only exists in a small area.

After understanding the principle of the cursed seal, Hongzhi had a special idea: if Orochimaru's chakra were converted into natural energy, would it have a special effect?

If we combine it with the Yin Seal, wouldn't we be able to achieve the Eternal Immortal Mode?

Of course, this is just Hongzhi's conjecture, and there is no need to continue the discussion. However, Hongzhi still has some expectations for Sage Chakra, since natural energy is almost inexhaustible, and Sage Chakra is also extremely important in the later stages.

After figuring this out, Hongzhi let Mitarashi Anko leave. However, even so, Hongzhi still wanted to study the cursed seal. It was just a pity that there was no suitable person to continue the research, since besides Mitarashi Anko, there was only Uchiha Sasuke.

'Difficult to handle.'

Hongzhi shook his head helplessly and continued to wait patiently. At the same time, Orochimaru in the Forest of Death met up with the people from the Sound Village and gave them orders.

Orochimaru then immediately set out to find Kabuto Yakushi, who had also infiltrated the Forest of Death to carry out another mission.

"Lord Orochimaru, the descendant of the Uzumaki clan has disappeared."

After finding Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru received some bad news: the Uzumaki clan member he valued highly had simply disappeared, which made Orochimaru frown.

"It's alright, you can take care of things from now on. I'm going to the Central Highlands first."

Orochimaru understood after a moment's thought: the Uzumaki clan was extremely valuable, and that guy lurking in Konoha couldn't have missed him; he was most likely taken away by him.

Orochimaru had no way to deal with this, because it was impossible for a descendant of the Uzumaki clan to directly charge into the Root base.

Moreover, he has even grander plans ahead, so why would he want to cause trouble here?

Orochimaru glanced one last time in the direction of Team 7, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Want power? Then come to me! Then we'll be one!

Team 7 is facing its biggest crisis because of Orochimaru, as Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki have both fallen into a coma.

Sakura Haruno had to take on the responsibility of caring for the two of them. If this were anywhere else, there would naturally be no problem, but this was the Forest of Death, and Orochimaru's Sound Village team was also there to cause trouble.

In just one exchange, Sakura Haruno was beaten badly, and even dragged down several other new Konoha ninjas.

However, since she was a ninja, she still had some use.

To break free from the enemy's control, Sakura Haruno cut off her own hair. At that moment, it was as if cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and Sakura Haruno seemed to have completed her transformation...

However, this was impossible. Despite gaining a slight advantage, she was quickly sanctioned.

However, as Uchiha Sasuke groggily woke up, the once arrogant Sound Village ninja had his arm broken.

The ninjas from the Sound Village were so frightened by Uchiha Sasuke that they immediately chose to leave.

However, Sasuke Uchiha, who had successfully rescued the damsel in distress, fell into a coma again, while Naruto Uzumaki woke up earlier.

Their strength is just so-so normally, so even if they want to turn the tide at crucial moments, it's impossible. After all, not everyone is a protagonist who can suddenly unleash their full power.

Just as it's impossible for cherry blossoms to bloom, it's also impossible for Hiroji to have a leisurely job.

Especially as time went by and the end of the second Chunin Exams drew closer, Hiroji became increasingly busy.

Although no candidates have been sent yet, Hongzhi can already smell the strong stench of blood!

Chapter 150: We can continue watching the game.

As the countdown reached zero, the second round of the Chunin Exams successfully concluded, with approximately one-tenth of the participants advancing.

This was Hongzhi's feeling, not an official statistic, but with the end of the Chunin Exams, Hongzhi immediately got busy.

Konoha's ANBU and regular ninjas began searching for any ninjas who were still alive but injured, and these ninjas would be continuously sent to Hongzhi for treatment.

Of course, this treatment is only done out of consideration for Konoha's reputation. Even if someone is missing an arm or a leg, Konoha will still treat them, but they certainly won't let Hiroji use the regeneration technique.

Of course, if this ninja is from Konoha, it's still possible that Hongzhi would take action. However, this would have to wait until after the Chunin Exams, since some things need to be shown while others need to be hidden.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't stupid; revealing everything would be tantamount to courting death.

More and more ninjas began to receive treatment from Hongzhi. Although the Forest of Death was cruel, there were still quite a few survivors. After all, those ninjas were not demons, so how could they possibly kill them all?

After treating the wounded, Hongzhi went straight to watch the Chunin Exams preliminary rounds.

It's a one-on-one elimination tournament; the winner gets to participate in the final third round, while the loser is eliminated.

When Hongzhi arrived at the viewing platform, the battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Kiba Inuzuka was taking place.

Perhaps because he had a problem with Hongzhi, Akamaru made a mistake as soon as Hongzhi appeared. Although it didn't have a big impact, mistakes are still quite rare for ninja dogs.

However, this did not affect the outcome of the battle, because Naruto Uzumaki successfully defeated Kiba Inuzuka with a single fart.

This was a battle with a certain flavor, and also a battle that left Hongzhi speechless.

This is enough to qualify for the third round of the Chunin Exams. Compared to Sasuke Uchiha, who was taken away by Kakashi to be sealed with a cursed seal, it's far too easy for him.

After the battle, Hiroji also treated Kiba Inuzuka. As for why it wasn't Naruto Uzumaki, didn't he have the ointment given to him by Hinata Hyuga?

What else do you need!

In the ensuing battle, Hiroji witnessed Nara Shikamaru's cunning and saw Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka engage in a fierce duel. It must be said that their battle was quite exciting, even more so than Naruto Uzumaki's farts.

As expected, the people who advanced were the same. With only a few battles left, Uchiha Sasuke and Kakashi returned. Hiroji clearly saw that the spot on Uchiha Sasuke's neck that belonged to Orochimaru was now bound.

It's still a bit of a pity, because that was Orochimaru's love for Sasuke Uchiha, and it was sealed away just like that.

And isn't your seal a bit disrespectful to Orochimaru?

Originally, Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't have been here; he should have been lying in Konoha Hospital. But since Hiroji's teacher, Yumi Kudo, was here, her strength made waking up the unconscious Sasuke Uchiha a piece of cake.

Speaking of Kakashi, he's always been a workaholic. The first battle he fought after arriving here was between Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata.

The battle had already ended, but Hinata Hyuga, encouraged by Naruto Uzumaki, kept getting up again and again, which turned what was originally a foregone conclusion into an unexpected turn of events.

It wasn't that Hinata Hyuga was able to turn the tide directly, but rather that, encouraged by Naruto Uzumaki, she was almost killed by Neji Hyuga!

If it weren't for the several Jonin who stopped him, Hiroji would have had to work overtime again.

Because of the intervention of a Jonin, the winner was immediately determined to be Hyuga Neji. However, the look he gave Naruto Uzumaki was so disdainful that he was clearly still the same guy who had never experienced a beating.

Why does nothing good ever happen when I meet you?

Seeing Hinata Hyuga fall to the ground, Hiroji glanced helplessly at Naruto Uzumaki standing to the side. Naruto's presence was truly exasperating for Hiroji. You could say he wanted Hinata Hyuga to win, and there was nothing wrong with that.

But you can't just send her to her death!

Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki was stunned, and Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno also looked somewhat uneasy...

Hiroji and Kurenai brought Hinata Hyuga into the treatment room. Looking at Hinata lying there, Hiroji felt speechless.

Actually, she was quite talented, but unfortunately, in this era, those with talent could only become background figures.

"I hope Hinata is alright?"

Kurenai Yuhi was still concerned about Hinata Hyuga. Seeing that Hiroji was silent, she subconsciously asked him a question, not wanting anything to happen to Hinata Hyuga.

"It's nothing, just some internal injuries. I'll be fine in a bit."

Hongzhi very politely asked Yuhi Kurenai to leave, and then began to prepare the medicine needed for the technique of drawing out the stagnant blood. All that was needed was to draw out the blood clots, and then the treatment could be completed directly using the Palm Immortal Technique.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hiroji can also extract some of the purest Hyuga blood.

The treatment proceeded quickly, and five minutes later, Hinata Hyuga, who had been unconscious, slowly opened her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Hongzhi stopped using the Palm Immortal Technique. Normally, the injuries would heal, but Hongzhi knew that an unlucky soul would be sent here soon, so it was better to free up a bed as soon as possible.

"Let's continue watching the game."

Upon seeing Hinata Hyuga wake up, Hiroji left the treatment room after saying those words, as he still wanted to witness Rock Lee's peak performance.

"How is the situation?"

As soon as Hiroji stepped out of the treatment room, he encountered Kurenai Yuhi, who had been waiting there. Her face was full of worry, clearly showing she was a competent Jonin leader.

"It's okay, we can still watch the game."

Hongzhi smiled slightly, then walked directly towards the spectator stands. Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi didn't react for a moment, until the next second she saw Hinata Hyuga, who had already put on her coat and walked out...

At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi felt like the world had been turned upside down. Hinata Hyuga's condition was still very serious just now, with her breathing becoming weak. How could she have walked out in just a few minutes?

Is this the true value of medical bloodline limits?
