The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Neji Hyuga successfully advanced to the final Chunin Exams, the third round, but Might Guy was still there.

While it's possible that this was suggested by Hyuga Neji, it also illustrates two things: first, Might Guy's trust in Hyuga Neji's strength, and second, that Might Guy is a qualified teacher.

Of course, if Matt Kay were not qualified, he would never have achieved such success.

In the ninja world, true strongmen inevitably possess corresponding qualities. Those who look down on others and those who view people with prejudice are simply not worthy of respect.

For example, Danzo, who is already dead, and those ordinary villagers who only point fingers...

Hongzhi initially thought the same thing, until he heard Xiao Li's excited voice coming from the ward: "Teacher Kai, I can be cured as long as I do a hundred push-ups!"

"That's right, Xiao Li! Your youth will not let you down!"

Mitchell's voice followed, making Hongzhi feel dizzy and lightheaded, as if his previous evaluation had been hasty.

That Matt Kai guy, he really is here to cause trouble!

Chapter 153 Inherited from the Same Lineage, Self-taught

"What are you doing?!"

Upon hearing this, Hongzhi pushed open the door and pressed Xiao Li, who had already gotten up from the hospital bed, back down.

Xiao Li tried to resist, but to no avail. He was very strong, but Hongzhi had superhuman strength. Their strengths were on completely different levels, and he was immediately pinned to the bed.

Is there a problem?

Seeing Hongzhi push Xiao Li back down, Might Guy, who was already preparing to do push-ups, looked at Hongzhi with some confusion. He wasn't particularly clear about Xiao Li's injuries.

Although Hongzhi's words yesterday were indeed frightening, seeing that Xiao Li's arms and legs have recovered today feels a bit strange.

If it weren't for the fact that Hongzhi's words yesterday didn't seem like a joke, he would have already taken Lee to see Neji, since Neji's promotion assessment is in a month.

Why did Hongzhi react so strongly today when I just wanted to move around a little?

Matt Kai was completely baffled and could only hope that Hongzhi could provide an explanation.

"This is a big problem. After he finishes these 100 push-ups, he may very well be bedridden for the rest of his life!"

Hongzhi's lips twitched. The most serious part of Xiao Li's injury was not his broken arm and leg. Those areas had relatively fewer nerves, and Hongzhi had already taken care of them. That was why he didn't need to use crutches like in the original story.

As for the area that Hongzhi couldn't solve, it was the spine, which seemed the least noticeable part. If it were another area, it could be directly removed and then recycled for regeneration.

However, there are some bone fragments in the spine. If it's not handled properly, then the person will be completely ruined and won't be able to do anything, not even as an ordinary person.

Xiao Li had actually completed the simplest treatment. As for the remaining part, Hongzhi was not confident that he could directly take action. If it was a regeneration technique, the entire spine could not be removed directly, and Hongzhi was not sure if he could put it back on.

Or, to put it another way, would Xiao Li survive if he had his entire body below the neck amputated?

That's the problem; otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

"Why?!"

Hearing that the consequences were so serious, Might Guy's face turned solemn. Little Lee seemed to be fine, so how could doing a push-up cause such a serious problem?

"Come with me!"

Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Li, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and then took Might Guy out of the ward.

"Xiao Li has a lot of bone fragments in his spine. Although they are small, if the nerves are damaged due to strenuous exercise, his life will be ruined!"

After leading Might Guy to a suitable location, Hiroji spoke with a grave expression, seemingly completely helpless about the matter.

In fact, Hongzhi not only had a solution, but also an alternative. It should be noted that some of the ninjas from Sunagakure were still in Konoha, including Kankuro, who was a puppeteer.

Chakra threads are the foundation for controlling puppets. If Hongzhi obtains the chakra manipulation method from Sunagakure and accumulates the required level, he can directly transform his healing bloodline limit into chakra threads and then perform micro-surgery.

That way the wound would be small and wouldn't have much impact on the nerves. It would just be that Sunagakure would be in trouble. Although Sunagakure's puppeteers aren't that great now, there was a time when puppetry was very famous in the ninja world.

"how so?!"

Matt Kai found it somewhat unbelievable. Although he didn't have the same level of expertise as Hiroshi, he was still very clear about what the spine was.

Upon hearing Hongzhi's words, Might Guy broke out in a cold sweat. If Little Lee had just engaged in strenuous exercise, Might Guy could very well have been the culprit who ruined him.

This was completely unacceptable to Might Guy, and upon hearing Hiroji's words, he understood the seriousness of the situation.

"Don't worry, give me a month, and I'm sure I'll find a solution!"

Seeing that Matt Kai's expression was a little off, Hiroji felt embarrassed and hurriedly left after saying those words.

Seeing Hongzhi's hurried appearance, Might Guy felt somewhat ashamed. Hongzhi was already working so hard, and he was just making things worse; it was truly...

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Matt Kai went straight back to the ward. He had to keep a close eye on Xiao Li at all times to prevent any problems from arising.

'The Sand Village's puppetry techniques have potential!'

As Hongzhi left Konoha Hospital, he subconsciously glanced at the inn next door. Unlike the ninjas of Konoha, the ninjas of Sunagakure who could participate in the third round needed to apply in advance if they wanted to train at the training ground.

Otherwise, there would be trouble. However, the three from Sunagakure and Maki came to Konoha to cause trouble and had no intention of training. After all, they were not taking the Chunin Exams at the moment, but carrying out a mission.

Hongzhi returned home with a pile of books on human anatomy, leaving behind a makeshift shadow clone before using the Flying Thunder God Technique to return directly to the Root base.

If you want to get in touch with Kankuro, it's better to use your Root identity. Besides, with Kotoamatsukami and the ability to sever the tongue, Hiroji won't be afraid of Kankuro revealing his identity.

When Hiroji transformed into a Root member and secretly kept an eye on the Sunagakure inn, he also sent a shadow clone to search for the so-called perverted sage in the village.

Hongzhi didn't really understand why such a sleazy guy wasn't disliked by the people of Konoha, especially by the women and female ninjas.

Was it because he always ran too fast, and no one knew who was spying on him, or was it because of Jiraiya's ninja identity?

Or is this a peculiar quirk of Konoha Village?

Hongzhi gained nothing, but the shadow clones found Jiraiya peeping outside the women's bathhouse.

However, the situation was somewhat unexpected for the shadow clone. There were two other people next to Jiraiya, both of whom Hiroji knew.

One of them was none other than Naruto Uzumaki, and the other was Ebisu, who had already been instantly killed by Jiraiya.

In other words, he initially looked down on Naruto Uzumaki, but was immediately proven wrong and became a Jonin responsible for instructing Konohamaru.

'Um???'

Seeing that the three had gathered, the shadow clone suddenly thought of a question: Jiraiya was known as the Perverted Sage, and he was self-taught in this skill. Hiruzen Sarutobi liked to use his crystal ball to peep, probably also self-taught. After all, the First and Second Hokage shouldn't be like that...

Of course, this was just the idea of ​​a shadow clone; whether it actually was, Hongzhi wasn't entirely sure.

Naruto Uzumaki also mastered the Sexy Jutsu without a teacher, and he was quite bold; when teaching Konohamaru, he would take him directly into the women's bathroom.

Compared to Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi, this is even more outrageous.

Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi was Jiraiya's teacher, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Naruto Uzumaki will be Jiraiya's student.

From this perspective, it seems that the common characteristic of this lineage of master and disciple is that they are all self-taught, but the things they are self-taught are really absurd!

Chapter 154 I'm the one left who doesn't know

The shadow clone watched this scene silently, seemingly waiting for Naruto Uzumaki to arrive, while Jiraiya walked away into the distance shortly afterward.

Naruto Uzumaki, who believed that Jiraiya was stronger than Ebisu, followed Jiraiya directly.

Shortly after the two left, Ebisu slowly woke up, dusted himself off, and then left the spot.

This made the shadow clone somewhat suspicious that this guy might be an actor hired by Kakashi, with the purpose of bringing Naruto Uzumaki directly in front of Jiraiya.

However, in order not to cause any particular trouble, the shadow clone slowly walked away into the distance, which was the direction Jiraiya and Naruto had left.

As the shadow clone moved to the side, Jiraiya, who had stopped arguing with Naruto Uzumaki, noticed Hiroji's shadow clone.

However, Jiraiya couldn't tell that it was a shadow clone; Koji's shadow clones were quite powerful.

"If you want me to teach you, find me this kind of fruit!"

When the shadow clone noticed Jiraiya, he was gesturing wildly, and judging from his gestures, it seemed he was trying to find something like Tsunade...

However, Naruto was clearly confused at the moment. He left the spot with a bit of a bewilderment and headed straight for Konoha Village!

"Hey, did you follow us here on purpose?"

Seemingly noticing the headband on Hiroji's forehead, Jiraiya did nothing after Naruto left, only watching Hiroji moving slowly in the distance with vigilance.

"It was just a coincidence, but since I've encountered it, I'm just thinking about how to improve my perception so as to save a boy's ninja career."

Although Jiraiya was telling the truth, the shadow clone would certainly not admit it, since Jiraiya had no evidence to prove that he had followed him all the way.

This is within the territory of Konoha. It does not belong to any clan or any person. Hongzhi can go wherever he wants!

"Saving a boy's ninja career, huh? Looks like you must be Hiroji!"

Jiraiya, who was initially somewhat wary, noticed that his shadow clone was clearly taken aback, as if his thoughts had indeed been interrupted.

Are all medical ninjas this wild these days? While thinking, they're actually wandering around Konoha?

And who are you?

After being interrupted from his thoughts, the shadow clone turned to look at Jiraiya. Although he recognized the man, it was better to pretend he didn't. After all, Jiraiya was practically a missing person, and it was normal for someone of Hiroji's age not to recognize him.

"Ah... You don't even recognize me? I am the legendary Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!"

Jiraiya was not surprised by Hiroji's reaction. It was normal for a young man not to recognize him. Moreover, since this person was that brat named Hiroji, it was basically certain that he was one of their own.

They weren't spies from other ninja villages, and they certainly weren't from Root.

"A juggler?"

Seeing Jiraiya's somewhat exaggerated movements, the shadow clone frowned and blurted out, after all, this guy really didn't look like an excellent ninja.

"You've never heard of the Toad Sage?"

Jiraiya was also somewhat overwhelmed. When he introduced him to Naruto Uzumaki earlier, Naruto had a decent reaction, but why was this medical ninja named Hiroji reacting like this?

"I don't know. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. But if you're from outside the village, you'd better not try to cause trouble, or the consequences will be severe."

Under Jiraiya's expectant gaze, the shadow clone solemnly gave a reminder before preparing to leave.

"Wait...you're a medical ninja, you should know Tsunade, right?!"

Jiraiya was also unsettled. He had heard of Hiroji's name before. Hiroji was considered the strongest medical ninja, even surpassing Tsunade in some respects. Otherwise, Jiraiya wouldn't have talked to him for so long.

But seeing that Hiroji didn't recognize him at all, Jiraiya was still speechless. How come after being away for so long, he felt so unfamiliar with this place when he returned?

When he was here, he was adored by countless people!

"Lady Tsunade? One of the legendary Sannin. If she were still here, I wouldn't have to rack my brains to find a solution to this problem."
