The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

After using his Mangekyou Sharingan to release a genjutsu that made Shukaku and Gaara faint, Hiroji began to extract Shukaku's chakra. If he extracted all of it, the Sand Village would definitely object, so Hiroji could only extract half.

It's a bit of a pity, but to prevent any problems from arising, it's better for Hongzhi to be more careful.

There are still many people eyeing the Tailed Beasts, including not only Koji but also the Akatsuki organization.

Chapter 170 Rain Will Annihilate Hope

The extraction of the tailed beast went exceptionally smoothly. However, when half of it was extracted, Hiroji suddenly thought of a question: Could this half of the chakra contain the will of Shukaku?

Just like the Nine-Tails, after being split in two, both of them possessed their own will.

Hiroji was very curious about this, but despite his curiosity, he would not become a Jinchūriki to try it, since the Tailed Beasts were still very dangerous.

Of course, what Hiroji was referring to wasn't their strength, but something special. After the tailed beast was extracted, the Jinchuriki would almost always die, which was unacceptable to Hiroji.

Right now, we should focus on researching the Tailed Beast chakra and try to remove its will so that the chakra can be perfectly integrated.

This is the solution that Hiroji came up with, but it will take a long time to research in order to prevent Shukaku's chakra from going berserk.

After sending Gaara back, Hiroji sealed that chakra directly into Danzo's reanimated body.

Let alone half of Shukaku's chakra, even if Shukaku in its complete form were to break through the seal set by Hongzhi, it would be impossible.

The seal set up by Hongzhi was the Bagua Seal, which sounds very powerful, but it was actually a fusion of two Four Symbols Seals.

Moreover, unlike Naruto's seal which opened a back door, Hiroji also set up a Five Elements Seal on Danzo, which basically locked down the possibility of Shukaku's rampage.

After completing these tasks, Hongzhi left Root and went to the Land of Waves to have his shadow clones continue training in chakra transformations of other attributes.

Bloodline limit is very important. It not only allows Hongzhi to complete the transformation of his body and completely imprint all attributes into his genes, giving him innate all-attribute chakra, but also allows him to better understand the essence of chakra attribute changes.

Then you can try to undergo the transformation of bloodline elimination, and finally develop the bloodline network.

If successful, Hongzhi would possess power comparable to Kaguya's. However, every great building starts from the ground up, and Hongzhi first needs to inscribe all the chakra variations into his genes.

Only then can we continue on this path.

As for the Rinnegan, Hongzhi already has some ideas. Perhaps when Hongzhi finds the secrets of chakra, the door to the Rinnegan will open directly.

Yang attribute transformation and Yin attribute transformation are generally impossible to merge, but the Uchiha clan may have a way.

Of course, we're talking about Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, not Itachi Uchiha. After Madara Uchiha turned to the dark side, he spent some time teaching Obito Uchiha Yin-Yang Release.

It was this so-called Yin-Yang Release that transformed Obito Uchiha from a pitiful boy who had just awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan into a terrifying being capable of controlling the Nine-Tails.

While Obito Uchiha's Sharingan was undoubtedly powerful, the Yin-Yang Release might also have played a role. Although he didn't know what the Yin-Yang Release meant, Koji still wanted to give it a try.

Obito Uchiha's left eye is the key to entering the Kamui dimension, and anyone wearing this eye can also be sensed by Obito Uchiha within the Kamui dimension.

If Hiroji hadn't sealed it away after obtaining it, Obito Uchiha might have already attacked, since the name of Kakashi with the Sharingan had already been confirmed to have disappeared in the Land of Waves.

If the wearer wasn't Kakashi, Obito Uchiha would definitely have taken back that eye. For one thing, the activation of Susanoo was Obito's reason for taking it back.

The problem is that when it first disappeared, Obito Uchiha didn't know. He could only sense that the Sharingan was within the Konoha area, but he couldn't sense who it was on.

As for what happened afterward, that eye had already been sealed away, and Obito Uchiha didn't even know whether it had been destroyed or what, so naturally he couldn't directly attack.

Hongzhi had taken this into consideration, which is why he never had the eye transplanted.

The safest approach would be to have someone else acquire Obito Uchiha's other eye, allowing for the legitimate transplantation of both eyes and the fusion of them into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Hongzhi can wait on this matter, since the Mangekyou Sharingan's power doesn't provide that much of a boost to him, and it's still in a relatively insignificant position for now.

If Black Zetsu could be completely crippled, it might be possible to openly attack Obito Uchiha, thus skipping the previous stages and allowing Nagato or Obito Uchiha, who might have transplanted the Rinnegan, to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

'This is really troublesome.'

Back at the root base, Hiroji shook his head helplessly. These things could easily become complicated if not handled properly.

Especially the Mangekyou Sharingan in the hands of Itachi Uchiha and Obito Uchiha; if things go wrong, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan might be lost.

Even so, Hongzhi was still very interested in Itachi Uchiha, who would be visiting some time later. Hongzhi would definitely not make a move against Itachi while he was in Konoha.

Knowing the general plot, Hiroji will definitely wait until Itachi is most exhausted before engaging in battle, such as when he uses Amaterasu to leave Jiraiya's side.

At that time, Itachi's strength would definitely have been reduced, and if the reanimated Shisui were to take action, Itachi would either use the Totsuka Blade or the crow, with the latter being more likely since it would consume less energy.

Although Itachi Uchiha was a brother-complex character, his relationship with Shisui was exceptionally good back then.

……

"You lecherous immortal, are you sure you want to set off on a rainy day?"

The next morning, Naruto Uzumaki, holding an umbrella, looked at Jiraiya ahead and felt extremely confused.

At this moment, he had no idea where he was going this time. The weather was really not suitable for training.

“That’s for sure. The longer we set off, the less likely we are to find that guy.”

Jiraiya continued talking to himself, still somewhat puzzled by the matter. Konoha wasn't a rainy village, although there had been days of torrential rain, but wasn't it a bit much that the sky outside Konoha was clear and sunny?

Who are we going to find?

Naruto Uzumaki was still asking questions. He had been extremely happy when Jiraiya said yesterday that he would take him on a long trip, but now he was filled with deep doubt.

"The last of the Three Legendary Sannin, the strongest healer I've ever seen... a female ninja!"

Jiraiya spoke with obvious delight, clearly still missing Tsunade dearly. The unnatural pause in the middle was naturally because he was thinking of Hiroji, the medical ninja at Konoha Hospital who had developed a bloodline limit.

It's unbelievable that Tsunade, who once reigned supreme in medical ninjutsu, would be surpassed one day. Fortunately, that guy was a ninja from Konoha.

"The Three Legendary Sannin? Female ninja!?"

Naruto's voice echoed through the rain, and Hiroji, who clearly sensed the departure of the two's chakra, smiled slightly.

Everything went according to plan. The Konoha Crush plan was over, just as Hiruzen Sarutobi had said:

Where leaves dance in the air, the fire burns ever brighter, its light illuminating the village and allowing new shoots to grow strong and healthy...

This rain was Hongzhi's idea. It's true that fire is everlasting, and illuminating the village is no problem. As for whether the new shoots can grow strong, that's hard to say...

Chapter 171 Death Attracts Crows

One after another, illusory figures emerged from a dark cave; this was the Akatsuki's meeting method.

This kind of ninjutsu is still exceptionally advanced for the ninja world. If it could be applied to scientific research, the Akatsuki would definitely be an excellent team.

However, their leader's idea was unusually simple: to collect the tailed beasts to intimidate the five great nations and ensure relative peace.

"Orochimaru killed the Third Hokage of Konoha. Is there anyone willing to go and see what's going on in Konoha now?"

When Pain, who possessed the Rinnegan, spoke up, the phantoms that had been discussing Orochimaru and Konoha immediately fell silent. It was clear that no one was willing to accept this mission, since Konoha was not particularly friendly to them.

It's not just about attitude, but also the influence of the environment. Konoha has just lost its Hokage and is under full martial law, so going there seems like a bad idea.

"I'll go!"

After a long silence, the phantom with eyes different from others slowly spoke. If Uchiha Sasuke were here, seeing those eyes would definitely make him speechless with excitement.

This is the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, and the speaker is none other than Uchiha Itachi, the older brother that Uchiha Sasuke dreamed of killing.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Itachi."

Upon seeing that someone had agreed, Pain, wielding the Rinnegan, vanished instantly, and the phantoms gradually diminished until they disappeared completely.

In a secluded valley in the Land of Fire, Itachi Uchiha slowly opened his eyes. Opposite him was his partner in the Akatsuki organization, Kisame Hoshigaki, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist from Kirigakure.

"Shall we go there, Mr. Itachi?"

Although it is known that Itachi agreed to Pain's request, there are many ways to gather intelligence. Infiltrating Konoha directly is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct way, although the risk is still a bit high.

"Let's go, and we can also find out some information about Jinchuriki while we're at it."

Itachi Uchiha's purpose in returning to Konoha was not really to find out information about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, as he already knew that while he was in Konoha, and it certainly wasn't because of the Akatsuki's needs.

He was a spy himself, and although he hadn't passed on any intelligence, it was impossible for him to betray Konoha.

The real reason that made Itachi Uchiha agree to this was the death of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

When the Uchiha clan was massacred, the Konoha leadership promised not to harm Sasuke Uchiha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the one who readily agreed, Danzo, who had stolen Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan, was the one who was the most restless, and the other two did not express any opinion.

Now that Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had risked his life to protect Sasuke Uchiha, is dead, he naturally needs to go back and check on his younger brother's safety. If Danzo wants to take action, he doesn't mind...

"As expected of Itachi-san, it seems this trip to Konoha will be very safe."

While Itachi Uchiha was still daydreaming, Kisame Hoshigaki's voice came through. His orders were to monitor Itachi Uchiha and prevent him from selling the entire Akatsuki organization to Konoha.

Upon hearing Itachi's words, Kisame Hoshigaki did not believe that Itachi was really going to Konoha to investigate any information; in fact, he might be going to leak information.

But that doesn't matter. As long as that person doesn't give an order, he won't do anything. He will just obediently follow and monitor.

"I hope so."

Itachi Uchiha looked at Kisame Hoshigaki with mixed feelings. This guy was undoubtedly sent by Madara Uchiha to monitor him.

Although their relationship was somewhat complicated, they were inexplicably compatible.

Two days have passed since Naruto Uzumaki left, and the heavy rain in Konoha is still falling, leaving the Konoha ninja somewhat speechless.

From the distant sky, it should have been a misty morning, but the rain directly changed everything in Konoha.

Jingle bell~

Amidst the rain, a clear bell rang out, and the two ninjas guarding the gate instinctively looked into the distance.

Suddenly, two people wearing straw hats appeared on the previously deserted road, and judging from their clothes, they didn't seem like good people.

Before the Konoha ninjas could observe closely, a flash of red silently appeared in their field of vision, and the two Konoha ninjas collapsed to the ground.

It was early morning, and with the continuous heavy rain, no one would notice this place, since the situation in Konoha was already somewhat tense.

"It looks so lifeless!"

Upon entering Konoha, Kisame Hoshigaki was somewhat surprised to find that even the once prosperous Konoha had become like this.

It was truly a bit of a sad story. Compared to Kisame Hoshigaki's sighs, Itachi Uchiha remained silent. For some reason, stepping into Konoha again gave him a bad feeling, as if someone was about to jump out and do something.

"Let's just take a look around first."

After a moment of silence, Itachi Uchiha headed straight for a dumpling shop he was somewhat familiar with, as gathering information there would be a good option.

Because of the heavy rain, civilians living in Konoha are bound to encounter some accidents, although the mission hall is temporarily closed due to the Hokage's death.
