The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Hongzhi, carrying two spies, slowly pushed open the attic door and spoke with a smile.

"What exactly do you want?!"

Danzo's voice trembled slightly. The Konoha leadership had been almost entirely wiped out. If Hiruzen Sarutobi's side also encountered problems, what would Konoha do?

Chapter 162 Continuing to Shine for Konoha

"The old man should obediently step down. Those who hold positions without doing their jobs and act perversely have no reason to exist. The rotten roots will be completely removed today, and tomorrow's Konoha will be even better..."

Hongzhi stopped and looked at Danzo across from him with a smile. Because of his disguise, Danzo still did not know his true identity. However, Hongzhi would not reveal his true identity for the sake of a bad joke.

The mask at the root was slowly removed, and just when Danzo thought he would know who this guy was, he saw the face of Yakushi Kabuto under the mask.

"You're nothing but a coward who hides in the shadows!"

Feeling tricked, Danzo cursed loudly, seemingly forgetting that he too had been lurking in the shadows, attempting to seize the Hokage position by any means necessary!

"Those who spend their whole lives hiding in the shadows have no right to talk about me. I will show you the truth of the ninja world and the future that will bring despair to everyone!"

Hongzhi put the mask back on, but this time he revealed the Sharingan in his right eye. As Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan appeared, Danzo was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't that Danzo didn't know this person had once impersonated a spy from Kumogakure, but rather that he hadn't expected someone to be able to use Uchiha Shisui's eyes so perfectly.

Even transplanting a regular Sharingan wouldn't be able to shut it down, let alone this more powerful Mangekyou Sharingan.

Danzo couldn't even imagine what would become of Konoha if this guy actually mastered the power of Kotoamatsukami!

"Who exactly are you?!"

Danzo spoke somewhat frantically, asking if Shisui Uchiha's eyes could be fused, which meant that Hashirama's cells could also be perfectly fused.

His path wasn't wrong, he just didn't reach the end. If we had discovered this guy's existence sooner, he, with the power of the Uchiha and Senju, would surely have become Hokage!

"You have a long time to think about the answer to this question, and hopefully you will find the answer before the mask is no longer needed. Right now, I am more inclined to deal with your two old friends who have passed away."

As Hongzhi's voice fell, a coffin appeared behind Danzo. Sensing this, Danzo's eyes widened in anger, as if trying to see through the simple Root mask. However, it was all in vain. Danzo was trapped in the coffin and then disappeared.

Two spies who wanted to cause trouble during the Chunin Exams were controlled by genjutsu and could not wake up.

The Impure World Reincarnation was successfully performed. Accompanied by the screams of the two spies, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, who had died not long ago, slowly opened their eyes.

"Where is Danzo?!"

Mitomon Homura opened his eyes and, upon discovering that Danzo had disappeared from the attic, glared fiercely at Hiroji beside him. Since Danzo was not there, he would have to search for the Root members who were with Danzo.

Koharu Utatane didn't speak, but her resentful gaze revealed her current mood. If she could control her body, they would definitely send her directly to Danzo.

"Elders, uh... no, according to Danzo, the dead are not qualified to be elders. In order for you two to continue to serve Konoha after your death, I used a spy to perform the Impure World Reincarnation for you. I entrust the One-Tailed Shukaku to you two."

Looking at the two people in front of him who were completely confused about what had happened, Hongzhi left behind these words and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to disappear from the spot.

Since Hongzhi used both of their corpses when he used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, there was no need to clean up the attic area.

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance, both of them looking extremely grim, clearly not expecting such a thing to happen!

Danzo dared to do that; he's simply inhuman!

"Our current aura is exactly the same as when Danzo appeared, which means he is also in the Edo Tensei state. What exactly does Danzo want to do?"

Koharu Utatane remained somewhat calm. She carefully recalled her previous encounter with Danzo and felt that things seemed to have become more complicated.

When Danzo stopped them from going to find Hiruzen Sarutobi, they felt that Danzo wanted to take this opportunity to launch another attack on the Hokage position. However, things always turn out differently than expected.

Danzo was transformed into the reanimated Danzo, and those who were originally just watching the show were now transformed into this inhuman, ghostly form.

Most importantly, the person who performed the Impure World Reincarnation was definitely not Danzo, but one of Danzo's subordinates, and it was that guy who performed Danzo's Impure World Reincarnation.

What's the point of all this? Danzo wouldn't be trying to get that subordinate to cause trouble, would he?

"Do not……"

Mitokado Yan seemed to want to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was forced into hibernation by the coffin that suddenly appeared.

Xiaochun, who was switching dorms, naturally received the same treatment.

Inside the Chunin Exams arena, the shadow clone indifferently watched the Anbu member slowly walk out from beside him. His intuition told him that this guy was Kabuto Yakushi, who had orchestrated the opening of Konoha's collapse.

"You probably won't make a move, will you?"

As they passed by, Kabuto Yakushi's voice sounded somewhat uneasy. If this guy were to make a move, the collapse of Konoha would probably turn into the collapse of Sunagakure or the Snake Extermination Plan.

"My task today is to watch the show. Also, you'd better not try to reveal my identity, even if it's by deliberately getting close to me in this way..."

The shadow clone answered with a smile, and at the same time, Kabuto Yakushi felt the seal in his brain begin to throb, as if it would explode at any moment.

How could the root of the calamity of the tongue be so easily triggered?

Upon discovering this, Kabuto Yakushi was filled with not only shock but also terror. If he continued to deliberately communicate with Hiroji, Lord Orochimaru would surely have noticed something amiss, but that would have been pointless; he would have died!

With that thought, Kabuto Yakushi left Hiroji's location far away, and the seal on his brain gradually subsided.

In fact, Orochimaru wasn't paying attention to this side at the moment; all his attention was on Uchiha Sasuke, who had activated his Sharingan.

When the blue Chidori appeared, Orochimaru's greed for Uchiha Sasuke intensified. Orochimaru still held Kakashi's signature ninjutsu in high regard.

The fact that he could use it at this age is enough to prove that Uchiha Sasuke was an exceptionally good ninja in addition to his Sharingan.

This means that after he takes over Uchiha Sasuke's body, his potential will be even higher, perhaps even reaching an unimaginable level.

Perhaps we can obtain Itachi Uchiha's special eyes at that time!

While Orochimaru was still fantasizing, the battle below gradually spiraled out of control. Gaara was pierced through the sand sphere by Chidori, and a violent, strange chakra slowly spread out, causing the entire venue to be filled with astonishment.

Most of the ninjas looked grave; this was clearly the chakra of a tailed beast!

Chapter 163 I hope you won't regret it

"I'll kill you!"

A frenzied voice rang out, and the expressions of the Konoha ninja present all turned strange. The Nine-Tails' rampage gave Konoha a profound understanding of the power of the tailed beasts.

Hearing such a voice at this moment, it's hard not to feel some emotion.

"How is this going?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Gaara, who was gradually turning into a monster, with some confusion. What was that chakra all about?

It feels a bit like...

Naruto's thoughts didn't continue. In a daze, he saw an Anbu member doing something in the distance, and then nothing more.

Seeing that things were not going well, Kabuto Yakushi used genjutsu in advance, and apart from a few ninjas with some strength, most of them were basically asleep.

Hongzhi, who had just returned, witnessed all of this. However, since there was a high-quality shadow clone standing there, Hongzhi did not need to worry about his identity.

After all, Hongzhi created a shadow clone today, and the shadow clone can easily handle matters related to healing.

As for chakra, there shouldn't be a situation where chakra is exhausted, unless a shadow clone heals the entire Konoha, but the Konoha Crush plan is unlikely to affect the entire Konoha.

Hongzhi could have used his status as a Root ninja to openly confront the One-Tailed Beast. If possible, he could have imprisoned Gaara and the other two at the Root base until the Fifth Hokage took office and formally negotiated with Sunagakure.

After all, Konoha no longer has any elders, so no one is qualified to represent Konoha in negotiations with Sunagakure. At most, they can only temporarily declare a truce.

During this time, Hiroji can thoroughly study Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. If he can successfully obtain a way to eliminate the will of the Tailed Beast, that would undoubtedly be the most perfect outcome.

If she can't obtain it, she can extract some chakra for research. It will take at least a month for Tsunade to officially succeed as the Fifth Hokage.

During this time, Hongzhi can also look forward to the famous scene of Uchiha Sasuke being brutally beaten, after all, after the death of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Itachi should come to Konoha for a visit.

In that case, perhaps we could obtain Uchiha Shisui's left eye. The Kotoamatsukami, with its long cooldown of over ten years, would still be useful to Hiroji, for example, to make Tsunade completely trust the Root's identity and to make that identity an elder.

Of course, Hiroji still preferred to take action against the daimyo and have that guy give the order directly.

"Boom!"

Before the baptism of Yakushi Kabuto's genjutsu was over, a loud bang came from the spectator stands, accompanied by a cloud of black smoke rising up.

"This is really troublesome."

Hongzhi spoke coldly and was about to rush towards the black smoke, but before he could even begin, he was stopped by several members of the Dark Guard.

What do you want to do?

Perhaps due to his long-standing habit of fighting against Root, upon seeing this unfamiliar Root member, the ANBU member Da Congming immediately assumed that this guy had been sent by Danzo to assassinate the Third Hokage.

"Fine, I'll leave it to you. As for that guy, I'll take responsibility."

After being stopped, Hongzhi felt somewhat speechless. If Hiruzen Sarutobi could confirm Hongzhi's identity before he died, it would be easier to fool Tsunade.

However, since the Anbu have blocked him, they will probably feel regretful after Hiruzen Sarutobi dies. But that's not something Hiroji needs to worry about, since Hiroji isn't exactly a saint either.

"Then it's up to you."

When Hongzhi pointed to Gaara being led away by two Sunagakure genin, the Anbu didn't react much. They were fleeing out of Konoha, so it shouldn't have any impact on Konoha.

"I hope you won't regret it."

Hongzhi looked at the rising purple barrier and felt speechless. The Four Purple Flame Formation, the barrier of four Jonin, would probably require Might Guy to open the Seventh Gate if he wanted to break through it directly. Kakashi doesn't have that kind of strength yet.

After all, this requires Kage-level strength, and Kakashi's strength, to be honest, is still in a transitional period, that is, the period from being an elite Jonin who originally had Sharingan to being an elite Jonin who does not have Sharingan.

The ninjas from Sunagakure have begun their invasion, and Might Guy will definitely have to meet them. Besides Might Guy, only Hiroji from Konoha is capable of breaking through their defenses.

Unfortunately, the Anbu wouldn't allow it, and by the time things were over, Hiruzen Sarutobi would be completely finished.

After leaving those words, Hongzhi immediately went after the precious research materials. It would be too embarrassing if the research materials got away.

"baffling!"

Watching Hongzhi leave, the Anbu members were speechless. It was impossible for Root to enter when the Third Hokage was clearly under attack; who knew if he would be there to save someone or kill someone?

As for regret, how could the Kazekage of Sunagakure possibly be a match for the Third Hokage!

The ANBU squad leader pondered this, and then he went directly to the vicinity of the Four Purple Flame Formation. Many ninjas had already gathered there, the majority of whom were ANBU members, followed by those prominent ninjas.

Of course, the civilians were still under the supervision of ninjas, otherwise things would have been chaotic.

Most of the twelve Konoha 11 have started their operations, but somewhat awkwardly, Rock Lee and Naruto were woken up by their teammates...

As Hongzhi was chasing Gaara, he suddenly discovered that someone was moving faster than him. To be precise, there were three people, one of whom was none other than Uchiha Sasuke. As Gaara's rival, he naturally had no choice but to chase after him.

The other two are Shino Aburame and Shikamaru Nara. They can be said to be chasing their opponents from the third round of the Chunin Exams. Of course, Shikamaru Nara might also be chasing his wife...
