The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Because Tsukuyomi cannot be resolved through surgery, or rather, once someone is under the influence of Tsukuyomi and falls into a coma, surgery is completely useless.

However, since Kakashi has been sent to the operating room, the shadow clones will definitely be tasked with carrying out their mission.

Upon entering the operating room, the shadow clone's gaze immediately changed when it saw Kakashi, whose shirt and mask had been removed and whose wounds looked somewhat gruesome.

Kakashi is in a bit of a predicament this time, but the good news is that he's still alive, so there's no need to worry about him dying here.

You have to understand that this person is the future Sixth Hokage. If he dies, from a certain perspective, Konoha will need to hold two Hokage funerals in a short period of time.

Time passed slowly as the shadow clones methodically treated Kakashi, prioritizing his survival and addressing his wounds.

After an hour of effort, Kakashi's wounds were completely healed by the shadow clones, and even the scars were no longer visible. However, Kakashi still did not wake up.

Firstly, the amount of bleeding from his body was indeed quite high. Secondly, Kakashi was also under the influence of Tsukuyomi. Although the Shadow Clone had a way to wake him up directly, considering that he also needed to rest, the Shadow Clone felt that this guy should stay unconscious for a few days to recover.

"How is Kakashi?"

Stepping out of the operating room, the shadow clone found Might Guy still standing there, which was enough to show just how terrifying the bond between him and Kakashi was.

Of course, beside him were Asuma, whose right arm was wrapped in a blood-stained bandage, and Kurenai, who looked somewhat dazed.

Asuma was taught a lesson by Kisame, while Kurenai was instantly killed by Itachi Uchiha, which both found unacceptable.

"Just let Kakashi-senpai rest well. Also, Asuma-senpai, you should probably get your wound treated."

The shadow clone first made sure Kakashi was alright before looking at Asuma beside him.

"Oh well."

Asuma breathed a sigh of relief when he realized what was happening, as did Might Guy and Kurenai. If Kakashi were to have any more problems, Konoha would be in real trouble.

……

The next day, on a hillside not far from Konoha, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki, who had escaped Konoha, looked at the town ahead with somewhat grim expressions.

The town under the sunlight had a beautiful feel to it, but the two of them were not here to enjoy the scenery. Instead, they came to search for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

In the town, Naruto and Jiraiya continued their slow advance, their goal still being to find Tsunade. Neither of them noticed that someone was watching them from the hillside.

"If the opponent is this person, even if both of us fight, we might not be able to defeat him."

Itachi Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Jiraiya's retreating figure. If the Jinchuriki they were looking for was a novice, there would definitely be problems if they couldn't bring back the Nine-Tails.

But if it's Jiraiya, then that's somewhat normal. As one of the legendary Sannin, he's definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Even though Orochimaru seems to be constantly being chased and attacked by the Akatsuki, in reality, the only person within the Akatsuki who could reliably defeat him is probably the leader.

Even though Itachi Uchiha could restrain Orochimaru, it would still be very difficult for him to defeat him if he fought desperately.

"Is that right? Are you going to give up?"

Kisame Hoshigaki nodded, not refuting it; Jiraiya's strength was undeniable.

Chapter 174 The Shark Wants to Catch the Fox

"Will it work?"

In the town, Kisame Hoshigaki watched as Itachi Uchiha used genjutsu to hypnotize a strange woman, and he began to have doubts about Itachi's plan.

Could it be that Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, has such an obvious weakness? This plan seems rather unreliable.

"Give it a try, there's no better way anyway."

Itachi Uchiha also expressed his doubts, but in order to prevent the Akatsuki organization from discovering the problem, he still had to make an attempt, which also served as a reminder to Jiraiya.

Moreover, this reminder will not arouse suspicion from the Akatsuki organization.

Kisame shut up. If the opponent was Jiraiya, it would definitely not be appropriate to attack directly. Using other methods was undoubtedly the best choice.

After hypnotizing the stranger, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki hid in the shadows and quietly watched as the woman approached Jiraiya.

In the small town, Jiraiya, who was searching for Tsunade's whereabouts with Naruto Uzumaki, suddenly noticed a beautiful stranger smiling at him.

Then Jiraiya glanced down at Naruto Uzumaki, who was still pondering the Rasengan, and decisively decided to rest there for a day. After letting Naruto go to the inn alone to study the Rasengan, Jiraiya went straight after the beautiful woman in the direction she had left.

Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki, who witnessed everything from the shadows, were both somewhat surprised; it seemed the plan had succeeded.

Kisame Hoshigaki was genuinely pleasantly surprised, while Itachi Uchiha was somewhat speechless. His original plan was to alert Jiraiya and have him discover their whereabouts, at which point the information would be relayed.

It seems the only option now is to search for Naruto's whereabouts. If Jiraiya doesn't react in time, the two of them will take this so-called Jinchuriki away.

At that point, we might have to break ties with the Akatsuki.

Although Itachi Uchiha thought this way, he acted very quickly, immediately joining Kisame Hoshigaki to search for Naruto Uzumaki's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, news of Kakashi's hospitalization spread among the new generation. This news could not be hidden. Asuma and Kakashi were both injured, and even Kurenai Yuhi's mind was affected by genjutsu.

There was absolutely no way to hide this matter. However, Uchiha Sasuke, who was diligently carrying out his mission, heard the name Uchiha Itachi.

Then Sasuke Uchiha abandoned his current mission and chased after the outskirts of Konoha.

This information spread quickly, and as a result, Might Guy, who had just left Konoha Hospital, gave chase.

'Sending someone a thousand miles to their death.'

In the woods outside the gates of Konoha, Hiroji, who had witnessed Uchiha Sasuke rushing out, shook his head helplessly.

It's conceivable that if Sasuke Uchiha were to face Itachi Uchiha now, even if Itachi were to unleash his full power, Sasuke would still have no chance of winning.

These are not even in the same league. Let alone Sasuke Uchiha having a two-tomoe Sharingan, even if he had a Mangekyou Sharingan, his chances of victory would depend on Itachi Uchiha's mood.

Compared to Sasuke Uchiha, who achieved his current level of power through a sudden power-up, Itachi Uchiha was able to grow to his current level without the help of the Sage of Six Paths, which speaks volumes.

It's unimaginable if Indra's chakra had been chosen by Itachi Uchiha, but that's simply impossible.

Hongzhi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive directly outside the town, not knowing where Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki would leave from.

Hongzhi simply had a large number of shadow clones lie in ambush in all directions. As soon as they discovered any trace of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki's escape, they would directly use barrier ninjutsu to trap them inside.

The Four Purple Flame Formation definitely wouldn't be able to stop Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha, but what about the Four Red Yang Formation?

With Hongzhi's chakra, even if it were divided into six equal parts, a single part would be more than enough to unleash a quarter of the Four Red Yang Formation.

Once Itachi's trail is discovered, the Shadow Clones will use the Four Purple Flame Formation to buy time. Then, all the remaining Shadow Clones will disappear, and Hiroji will arrive using the Flying Thunder God Technique. The Shadow Clones will then complete the Four Crimson Sun Formation.

The show is about to begin. When Itachi Uchiha comes out of the town, he will be greeted by the care of his old friends.

I hope Itachi Uchiha can live, but if he dies like this, it won't have much of an impact on Hiroji. Anyway, Hiroji won't deliberately attack his eyes. Hiroji is still thinking about studying Sasuke Uchiha's six-tomoe Rinnegan one last time.

After Hongzhi finished his preparations, Uchiha Sasuke approached the town, which surprised Hongzhi.

Although it was already close to dusk from dawn, Uchiha Sasuke was still moving quite fast.

However, upon further reflection, Hongzhi realized that Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya had walked, while Sasuke Uchiha had run away.

That's the difference. After all, the former didn't know where Tsunade was either. If they rushed around haphazardly, they might miss her. So it was better to search slowly.

As for Sasuke Uchiha, he finally received information about Itachi Uchiha, which meant he would gain +10 to hatred and +10 to speed.

There shouldn't be any problem in catching up directly.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha stepped into the town, Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki were already outside Naruto Uzumaki's door.

Their speed wasn't slow, but unfortunately, neither of them were ninjas skilled at intelligence gathering. In addition, Naruto Uzumaki had been in his room at the inn the whole time, so their speed was still quite good.

Thump thump~

A knock sounded at the door, and Naruto Uzumaki, who was still pondering the Rasengan, was a little surprised. He subconsciously opened the door and saw not the familiar Jiraiya, but two strangers.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I've finally met him!"

Seeing the somewhat confused Naruto, Kisame Hoshigaki muttered to himself before raising Samehada in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Naruto immediately tried to defend himself. His most proficient ninjutsu was undoubtedly the Shadow Clone Technique, and he had already begun forming hand seals. However, Kisame Hoshigaki simply placed Samehada on Naruto's body and completely absorbed Naruto's chakra.

Naruto Uzumaki, whose chakra had been absorbed, suddenly realized that the person in front of him was someone he could not defeat.

However, at this moment, Kisame Hoshigaki raised Samehada again, if before it was to tease Naruto Uzumaki.

This time he's serious, after all, time is of the essence and no one knows when Jiraiya will react.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who supported the Eye of the Moon Plan, naturally wanted to take the most difficult Nine-Tails Jinchuriki back with him.

If we let the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki grow up in time, and with the protection of Konoha, capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will become even more difficult!

Chapter 175 Young Eagles Will Encounter Setbacks

Samehada fell straight down, but the imagined bloody and mangled scene did not occur. Instead, a pair of hands helped the armored toad stop Samehada from falling.

"You must be the Akatsuki organization?"

A greeting followed, and everyone present recognized the voice immediately; it undoubtedly belonged to Jiraiya.

Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki subconsciously looked ahead and saw a hole in the wall of the inn. Jiraiya was carrying the girl who had been controlled by Itachi's genjutsu and slowly walking towards them.

"As expected of Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin."

Upon seeing this, Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but sigh, it was hard to tell whether he was praising or mocking him.

As the three faced off, hurried footsteps approached, and Itachi Uchiha instinctively turned around upon hearing this.

To avoid being attacked from both sides, he and Kisame must have someone looking behind them.

Kisame Hoshigaki and Jiraiya began a probing attack, which involved using physical techniques.

After discovering that Kisame Hoshigaki could use Samehada on his hand to absorb chakra, Jiraiya felt that the situation was a bit tricky, as Itachi Uchiha was not easy to deal with in the first place.

With this guy in front of me, it seems I can only try to repel the two of them. As for killing them, that's out of the question. Of course, the first thing I need to do is ensure Naruto's safety.

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki was slumped on the ground. Today's events reminded him of what happened in the Land of Waves. Zabuza was just as cold and indifferent back then, and he also possessed overwhelming power!

As the footsteps drew closer, just as Itachi Uchiha thought the newcomer might be a Konoha ace, Sasuke Uchiha appeared in everyone's sight.

Itachi Uchiha frowned. When he saw Sasuke Uchiha in Konoha that morning, he felt that Sasuke had grown up, but now that he saw him, Itachi just wanted to go over and slap him twice.

"Uchiha... Itachi! I've wanted to kill you ever since that day! Now it's time for you to pay the price!"

Sasuke Uchiha's voice was so loud that Jiraiya and Kisame Hoshigaki temporarily gave up the fight, and the two were once again locked in a stalemate.

When Naruto saw this, his expression was quite interesting. Was that guy Sasuke Uchiha's older brother whom he had always wanted to kill?

A piercing sound assaulted everyone's ears, while the blinding light also made people feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Sasuke Uchiha conjured the Chidori taught by Kakashi in his left hand, his eyes transformed into two-tomoe Sharingan, and he charged toward Itachi Uchiha with sparks and lightning in his wake!
