The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

The one spying here was naturally Jiraiya. Although he had been preparing to leave, after seeing the Four Red Yang Formation, Jiraiya still left a shadow clone here.

The Four Red Yang Formation belongs to Konoha, and Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki just left. To say there is no connection between them would be self-deception.

Hongzhi didn't really care. As long as Itachi Uchiha died here, it would all be worth it, and even if Jiraiya asked about it later.

He didn't know that Itachi Uchiha was a spy. What's wrong with Root members killing Konoha's rogue ninja?

There is no problem, and no one can say there is a problem.

Hiroji quietly looked at Kisame Hoshigaki beside him. Although he really wanted Kisame to help capture the tailed beast, considering Obito behind Kisame, Hiroji felt it was better not to let him go back.

As for capturing the Tailed Beasts, the rest of the Akatsuki can keep busy.

Having made up his mind, Hongzhi walked directly into the Four Purple Flame Formation. Uchiha Shisui was quite difficult to deal with, and Uchiha Itachi was still a potential threat.

If Itachi Uchiha in this state were to fight to the death and kill an Edo Tensei user, it would be a huge loss.

Within the Four Purple Flames Formation, the three reanimated characters were slowly recovering, while Uchiha Shisui continued his relentless attacks, and Uchiha Itachi was recuperating in the rear.

"People from the Root?!"

Upon seeing Hongzhi, Uchiha Shisui's expression changed. Although he liked the Will of Fire, he truly had no liking for Root.

"You can think of it this way: behind you are rogue ninjas who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan. Is that worth protecting?"

Hongzhi remained calm and unperturbed, completely unconcerned about Uchiha Shisui in front of him, even if it meant taking action.

Hongzhi could have easily undoed Uchiha Shisui's Impure World Reincarnation, at which point Shisui would have ascended to heaven, leaving no chance for Hongzhi to stop.

As for Itachi Uchiha, if he still wanted Sasuke Uchiha to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he definitely wouldn't use Izanagi and Izanami.

In this state, if Itachi Uchiha wanted to activate Susanoo, he would be burning his life force, and the threat wouldn't be that great.

Uchiha Shisui remained silent for a while. He had been dead for a long time, and this was his first battle since he opened his eyes again.

Although he knew that the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was basically impossible to resolve, Uchiha Shisui was still somewhat surprised to hear this news.

However, since it was Itachi Uchiha who made the move, it means that this was the last resort, and it is clear that the Uchiha clan still wanted to stage a coup in the end.

After figuring it out, Uchiha Shisui continued to protect Uchiha Itachi, for whom the person in front of him was the real opponent.

"Forget it, I have nothing to say to you. You might as well just go to heaven quietly!"

Hongzhi shook his head helplessly as he watched Uchiha Shisui still protecting Uchiha Itachi, and then immediately dispelled his Edo Tensei.

A burst of white light appeared, and Uchiha Shisui's soul left the body resurrected by Edo Tensei. The green Susanoo also gradually disappeared without a trace.

Uchiha Shisui's expression was somewhat bitter. He thought he had finally gained control of this body, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't help at all.

Just as Uchiha Shisui's soul was about to ascend, Hiroji took out a scroll and prepared to try to seal Uchiha Shisui's soul directly.

Ordinary sealing techniques are certainly impossible, but there is a forbidden technique in the Book of Sealing that is related to the soul, namely the Spirit Transformation Technique used by Kato Dan.

Hongzhi had studied the art of spirit transformation. Although this ninjutsu could not be used to train shadow clones, Hongzhi could use it to study a part of the so-called soul.

Then he devised a sealing technique specifically designed to suppress the soul, but whether it would succeed, Hongzhi had no way of guaranteeing.

However, Hongzhi still had time to make improvements, and even the soul could not escape the barrier of the Four Red Yang Formation.

Otherwise, the Allied Shinobi Forces wouldn't have been able to use a barrier to trap Kato Dan, who could use the Spirit Transformation Technique, during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Hongzhi improved upon the root's sealing technique—"Tiger's Gaze"—and a transparent tiger appeared in the scroll.

The tiger flew directly into the sky and bit Uchiha Shisui's soul at an extremely fast speed. Uchiha Shisui could only watch helplessly as this scene unfolded.

Even a genius of the Uchiha clan cannot freely control his own soul, so he could only be sealed in the scroll by the tiger.

After everything was over, Hongzhi discovered that below the original tiger on the scroll, there was now a portrait of Uchiha Shisui.

Upon seeing this, Hongzhi smiled slightly and put the scroll away.

"Stop the water!"

Uchiha Itachi stared at the scene in bewilderment. His eyesight had been severely impaired, and it would take him a long time to see clearly.

"Actually, I admire you quite a bit. According to Lord Danzo, your massacre of the Uchiha clan was a good deed."

Looking at Itachi Uchiha, who was trying to resist, Hongzhi calmly said, "Itachi Uchiha still has to be killed."

But it's possible to deceive him a little before killing him. As for whether Itachi Uchiha will listen or not, that depends on how much Sasuke Uchiha means to him!

Chapter 180 Even on its deathbed, the crow still thinks of its fledgling eagle.

Within the Four Purple Flames Formation, Itachi Uchiha, who was originally prepared to fight to the death, was stunned. He had considered that the person in front of him was from Konoha, but after seeing Danzo Shimura, he gave up on that idea.

The people on the Hokage's side are probably too busy to handle everything, but Danzo's side might still be able to take action.

However, Danzo's appearance made Itachi Uchiha abandon this idea, after all, Danzo could not be so great as to sacrifice himself.

However, after hearing Hongzhi's words, Uchiha Itachi was confused again. He addressed Danzo as "sir," which undoubtedly meant that this person was a member of Root.

But what about Danzo?

"Lord Danzo's last order before his death was: to eliminate you by any means necessary. You should feel honored."

Hongzhi continued speaking calmly, while Uchiha Itachi, upon hearing this, was completely dumbfounded.

It's really going too far that Danzo was still thinking about him before he died.

"If you still consider yourself a Konoha ninja, then end it yourself. As for Uchiha Sasuke, don't worry, I will ensure his safety."

Hongzhi didn't notice Itachi's expression and continued talking to himself. If Itachi really made a move, Hongzhi might look at him differently.

Of course, if Itachi Uchiha doesn't make a move, Hiroji will.

Uchiha Itachi remained silent for a long time, and what responded to Hiroji was a bleeding eye and a black flame that suddenly ignited.

Hongzhi easily dodged the black flames, and the Chidori Spear pierced directly into Uchiha Itachi's abdomen.

The paralysis began to take effect, and Itachi Uchiha, who was preparing to escape, stopped. If he had used Susanoo directly, Hiroji might not have been able to do anything, but he only used Amaterasu.

This gave Hongzhi an easy way to solve the problem.

"The Uchiha clan has a forbidden technique called Izanagi. If you use Izanagi, you will have a chance to escape."

As Hongzhi watched Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan gradually fade away, he calmly said, "As for Izanami, Hongzhi is not afraid."

Although Izanami is said to be an illusion, one can wake up once one recognizes one's true self. Hiroji always believed that he could recognize himself, so he was not particularly afraid.

Hearing Hongzhi's words, Uchiha Itachi fell silent. If he used Izanagi or Izanami, his eyes would lose their sight.

Although he might be able to escape, his younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke, would have no chance of advancing any further after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Could you grant me a request? When Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan is about to blind him, please give him my eyes!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Hiroji and said his last words. If there were any other choice, he certainly wouldn't want to do this.

But at this moment, he still has other options. This guy in front of him is a Konoha ninja, so perhaps there is still some chance.

If they hadn't said anything, given Root's usual style, those eyes would probably have been ruined, and Sasuke Uchiha would have gone blind.

"Yes, but only if Uchiha Sasuke doesn't betray Konoha and successfully awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although it's a bit inappropriate to say it like that, these eyes can't be given to a good-for-nothing."

As Hongzhi spoke, he once again conjured the Thousand Birds Spear, this time aiming directly at Uchiha Itachi's heart.

This time, Itachi Uchiha closed his eyes. Although he didn't know if the person in front of him would keep his promise, this was all he could do now.

This person did not appear when he was confronting Jiraiya. When his eyes were already tired, this person directly used the Four Purple Flame Formation and the Four Crimson Sun Formation.

It was clearly prepared in advance, and with Uchiha Shisui's presence, his defeat was not unjustified.

The only regret is that he couldn't see Uchiha Sasuke grow up.

"That's... natural."

Although he felt the requirement was very strict, Itachi Uchiha couldn't say anything more. While he cared about Sasuke Uchiha, he also hoped that Konoha would be alright.

If Sasuke Uchiha cannot awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, that would be for the best. What he least wants to see is Sasuke Uchiha learning the whole truth and wanting to settle scores with Konoha.

Because he knew that Sasuke Uchiha could not possibly defeat Konoha. Even without the members of Root, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin, and Kakashi and the others would certainly not allow Sasuke to act recklessly.

"It's really a bit jarring that the guy who slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan is a brother complex."

Hongzhi shook his head helplessly as the Chidori Spear pierced through Uchiha Itachi's heart, bringing this complex man to the end of his life.

After Itachi Uchiha died, Hiroji directly removed his Sharingan and then sealed Itachi's body in a scroll.

Itachi Uchiha is dead. As for what stage Sasuke Uchiha will reach, Hongzhi doesn't know, but he won't spread the news of Itachi's death.

It's good to give Sasuke Uchiha something to look forward to, since hatred is a terrifying force for the Uchiha clan.

As for whether Sasuke Uchiha will have the opportunity to acquire those Mangekyou Sharingan, it depends on the situation.

If Sasuke Uchiha is unable to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the Akatsuki is collecting the Tailed Beasts too quickly, Hiroji might fuse these eyes with Shisui Uchiha's eyes to obtain the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Hongzhi had already allowed Uchiha Shisui's right eye to absorb Uchiha Sasuke's cells and blood, so if he were to fuse it with Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, there would be absolutely no problem.

The only difficulty is, what should we do about Kaguya?

However, this is just Hongzhi worrying unnecessarily. Uchiha Sasuke has Indra's chakra within him, and with the power of the Sage of Six Paths, he can directly activate the Rinnegan.

Therefore, it should be possible for the Sage of Six Paths to transform his original Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

After the matter between Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi was resolved, the Four Purple Flame Formation shattered, and even the Four Crimson Sun Formation outside began to slowly shrink.

Kisame Hoshigaki, who was struggling to break the seal, suddenly dimmed his eyes as he watched Hiroji slowly walking towards him.

Click~

With another crisp sound, the seal that Koharu Utatane had carefully prepared was shattered by Kisame Hoshigaki. Even so, he was still trapped in the Four Red Yang Formation, and it was impossible for him to leave.

Unless Kisame Hoshigaki can defeat Hiroji, the final result will be the same.

"It seems that even Mr. Itachi has his failures."

Kisame Hoshigaki held Samehada in his hand, his eyes calm, even with a hint of sadness in them.

Chapter 181 The Shark's Defeat, Eyes Gathered

Within the Four Red Yang Formation, Hongzhi quietly watched Kisame Hoshigaki opposite him, never expecting that this guy had already emerged from the seal.

Although Koharu Utatane's seal wasn't a high-level seal like the Four Symbols Seal, it wasn't weak either. Kisame Hoshigaki's ability to break free was enough to prove his strength.
