The Devil of Konoha: Starting as a Medical Ninja

Even so, Hiroji would not change his mind about Kisame Hoshigaki; what awaited him was either death or becoming a puppet.

Considering that he also needed to plan for Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, Hongzhi preferred the latter.

Obito Uchiha hasn't come out into the open yet, and Kisame Hoshigaki, this honest guy, can be considered one of Obito's top generals.

If Kisame Hoshigaki were to cause trouble, Obito Uchiha would probably react. Kisame Hoshigaki was not only his spy planted next to Itachi Uchiha, but also his informant within the Akatsuki organization.

Although Nagato, the leader of Akatsuki, was outwardly following Obito Uchiha's plan, they were not on the same side.

Obito Uchiha's goal was undoubtedly the final Eye of the Moon Plan, while Nagato wanted to collect the Tailed Beasts, intimidate the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and then achieve peace.

The two initially shared the same goal, but once they had collected all the tailed beasts, they began to drift apart.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha needed Kisame Hoshigaki to keep an eye on Nagato within the Akatsuki organization to prevent him from doing anything unexpected.

"Do you want revenge for Uchiha Itachi? Or do you think you can defeat me?!"

Hongzhi coldly stared at Kisame Hoshigaki opposite him. Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan had been fully collected, and Hongzhi was eager to return to Konoha to transplant it into his left eye.

The Kotoamatsukami in the left eye has just been used and has a long cooldown period, so it will definitely be unusable in the short term. However, after awakening two skills of the Mangekyou Sharingan, it will be able to activate the third power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, namely Susanoo.

Hiroji still wanted to try what it felt like to pilot a Gundam. Although not having the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan would have many side effects, Hiroji didn't care at all.

Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan is definitely in better condition than Uchiha Itachi's.

After all, Shisui died young.

"I have to give it a try; merely lingering on is not in my nature."

In response to Hiroji's question, Kisame Hoshigaki charged at Hiroji with Samehada in hand. Hiroji was speechless, but the battle had to continue.

However, in order to take Kisame Hoshigaki away directly, Hiroji needs to use some special methods.

After dodging Kisame's attack with the Body Flicker Technique, Hiroji's right eye transformed into a three-tomoe Sharingan. During the brief exchange of glances with Kisame, Hiroji immediately used a genjutsu.

Although it's not Kotoamatsukami, it's still quite simple to perform illusions, and controlling Kisame Hoshigaki's illusions doesn't require too much trouble.

Hongzhi only needs to keep it under control for a period of time.

The illusion was successfully cast, and Kisame Hoshigaki stopped. Hiroji then used the Four Symbols Seal on him, completely sealing away the chakra within his body.

As for Samehada in his hand, Hiroji also held it in his hand. This thing was quite unruly; when Hiroji first took it in his hand, it actually tried to absorb Hiroji's chakra.

Even Hiroji wouldn't tolerate it; he directly covered Samehada's surface with white lightning, adding another layer of enchantment.

A few minutes later, Samehada wilted. If it were any other ninja sword, it might not have reacted in any special way, but although Samehada had been turned into a sword by Kirigakure, it still had its own consciousness.

This means that Hiroji's treatment of Samehada caused him pain.

After Samehada yielded, Hongzhi put it away and then had his shadow clone dispel the Four Red Sun Formation.

The moment the Four Red Sun Formation disappeared, Hongzhi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Root Base.

Upon arriving at the Root Base, Hiroji left two shadow clones there to prevent any accidents from happening.

At the Land of Waves base, Hiroji appeared directly. This should have been the time for the shadow clones to work hard at the Land of Waves base, but this time, Hiroji did not make the shadow clones take action.

Instead, he quietly examined the two glass bottles in front of him in the laboratory. One of them contained Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, which was soaking in a special nutrient solution.

Hongzhi has no immediate plans to transplant these Sharingan eyes, although after transplanting them, he could directly disguise himself as Uchiha Itachi and continue to infiltrate the Akatsuki organization with Kisame Hoshigaki.

But that was meaningless. During the battle, Hongzhi noticed that although Uchiha Itachi's eyes were not yet blind, his vision was already so poor that he could not distinguish between humans and animals from fifty meters away.

Hongzhi felt he couldn't imagine that scene, and that impersonating Uchiha Itachi would be meaningless.

The Akatsuki's next actions will still not be related to the Tailed Beasts. Koji has no interest in using someone else's identity to work for someone else.

After putting away Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, Hiroji looked at the glass bottle next to him, which contained Shisui Uchiha's left eye, the Mangekyou Sharingan that he had taken from the crow.

Hongzhi still needs to process it. Putting aside everything else, the first thing is to fuse it with Uchiha Sasuke's blood, which is a necessary condition for completing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Hongzhi still has plenty of Sasuke Uchiha's blood, and if that's not enough, he can get more from the unconscious Sasuke Uchiha.

After Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan was repaired, Hiroji really wanted to have a more gruesome eye transplant.

That is, to simply pry it out and then put it back on. However, after careful consideration, Hongzhi felt that he should still respect his identity as a medical ninja.

After summoning the shadow clone, Hongzhi lay down on the operating table next to him and then began the eye transplant surgery on the shadow clone.

A few minutes passed, and Hongzhi, who had sat up, felt a sharp pain in his left eye, followed by a warm sensation.

A strange feeling arose in his heart. Hongzhi sensed the ninjutsu contained in his left eye, namely the Kotoamatsukami, which had a cooldown time of ten years.

Only when both Sharingan are combined can their full potential be unleashed.

The cooldown time of Kotoamatsukami in the left eye has been reduced, while the control over Kotoamatsukami in the right eye has been strengthened.

After the pupil power of his two eyes merged and transformed, Hongzhi felt a tremor run through his body.

In a daze, a dark green skeletal arm appeared around Hongzhi's body.

'A bloodline limit with the Mangekyou Sharingan as the key? How extravagant.'

After trying out Susanoo for a while, Hiroji understood its true nature.

It is a form of Yin attribute chakra, which can also be called a special bloodline limit, but the prerequisite for unlocking this bloodline limit is that you first need the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Chapter 182 Susanoo, plotting to acquire a divine weapon.

The activation of Susanoo requires the Mangekyou Sharingan as a key, but the use of Susanoo has little to do with the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Of course, this is not just wild speculation, but rather how Hongzhi felt at this moment. After Susanoo was unlocked, it became a kind of awakened bloodline limit.

This means that the subsequent use of Susanoo does not rely excessively on the Mangekyou Sharingan, but rather on Yin Release chakra.

However, controlling Yin attribute chakra is inherently difficult. If Hongzhi hadn't had a large number of shadow clones grinding for proficiency, he wouldn't have been able to control Yin attribute chakra so skillfully.

The Mangekyou Sharingan greatly aids in the control of Yin-attribute chakra, which means that the Mangekyou Sharingan is usually activated when Susanoo is activated.

Besides being cool, the Mangekyou Sharingan's function is to help convert chakra within the body.

In the original work, Madara Uchiha was the only one who did not use the Mangekyou Sharingan to activate Susanoo, which shows that Madara Uchiha had a very deep understanding of Yin Release chakra.

Hongzhi had no doubt about this, and even felt somewhat admiring. The reason why Hongzhi was able to transform non-attribute chakra into yin attribute chakra so smoothly was simply because after each breakthrough, Hongzhi would gain an unimaginable enlightenment.

For example, after barely learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he gained a deeper understanding of it after breaking through his limits once, which means that many of Hongzhi's abilities were given to him by the system.

For Madara Uchiha to achieve that level without any special abilities can only be described as: truly worthy of being Madara Uchiha.

Furthermore, the unlocking of Susanoo is quite interesting. Even though Hongzhi's Yin attribute transformation is now at +9, he still cannot unlock the complete Susanoo.

Or rather, Hongzhi couldn't even conjure up his legs.

This is definitely not because Hongzhi's chakra is insufficient. If an explanation had to be given, the only one Hongzhi could think of was that he did not have the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

Susanoo is like a two-layered treasure trove. The first layer can be opened with the Mangekyou Sharingan, while the second layer can be opened with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

This is a relatively high-level bloodline limit, or rather, a bloodline limit with many restrictions.

Moreover, even without using the Mangekyou Sharingan, Hongzhi still feels immense pain in his body when he activates Susanoo, and even his eyes experience stinging pain.

This was a side effect, which left Hongzhi somewhat speechless.

I definitely need to get the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, Obito Uchiha is still a problem. If a surprise attack is launched, Hiroji can use the eyes he obtained from Kakashi to launch a surprise attack at any time.

But this is still a bit troublesome. It's not that I'm worried about Obito Uchiha unleashing his full power, but rather about Black Zetsu, who is by Obito's side. That guy is the culprit behind everything and the biggest schemer.

Appearing before this guy, be prepared. Therefore, it's best for Obito Uchiha to acquire the Mangekyou Sharingan under a different identity.

At the very least, it cannot be linked to the Root organization, but without using these methods, dealing with Obito, who possesses the Kamui dimension, would still be extremely difficult.

However, this is not something that can be rushed; Hongzhi has a long time to wait.

It is worth mentioning that Hongzhi's Susanoo is dark green, which is a bit darker than the turquoise color of Uchiha Shisui.

As for the meaning of this color, Hongzhi did not know, but this color was not something he could control.

After ceasing his research on Susanoo, Hiroji began to dispose of Itachi Uchiha's corpse. After extracting a certain amount of blood, Hiroji cut Itachi's body into several pieces and then prepared to find a suitable sacrifice.

There are no suitable offerings left in the Land of Waves, but there are still many people in Konoha who are eager to make a move.

Despite the existence of the Anbu, most people with ill intentions are unable to successfully enter Konoha.

However, it was quite easy for Hongzhi to obtain a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation. He simply found a ninja lurking outside Konoha Village and used the Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect Uchiha Itachi.

As usual, Hiroji used some special methods to resurrect Itachi Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which resulted in Itachi's strength being enhanced to a certain extent.

Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes at the Root base, staring coldly at Hiroji opposite him.

If it weren't for the fact that someone was resurrected using Edo Tensei and couldn't be controlled to attack Hiroji, Itachi Uchiha would definitely have summoned Susanoo directly.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for your own good. You can silently observe Uchiha Sasuke and see for yourself whether he is worthy of your eyes."

Hongzhi looked at Uchiha Itachi and spoke calmly, directly waking Uchiha Itachi up. Hongzhi still had other ideas.

As is well known, Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo possesses two divine artifacts: the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Blade.

The former defends against all physical attacks, while the latter can seal away all demons and monsters.

As for the remaining Yasaka Magatama, it is a type of weapon that can be used by all Susanoo users.

Hongzhi was certain that the Yata no Kagami and the Totsuka Blade were not contained within Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan. If that were the case, it was impossible for Sasuke Uchiha to be unable to use either of them after transplanting his eyes.

Sasuke Uchiha had been on the verge of death so many times; if he had the means, he would have used it long ago. When he fought Naruto Uzumaki, he simply used the Totsuka Blade to seal him away, and there wouldn't have been the incident of him having his arm broken.

If Hongzhi wanted to obtain these two divine weapons, he could only start with Uchiha Itachi. Hongzhi even felt that the two divine weapons were bound to Uchiha Itachi's soul.

That would be troublesome; the only option would be to devour Itachi Uchiha's soul.

In the ninja world, this is not impossible. Death God and spirit transformation techniques are both possible. Why can't Hongzhi create a ninjutsu that can devour souls?

"You're really that kind?"

Itachi Uchiha retorted. He wouldn't mind watching Sasuke Uchiha grow up in this state, but how could this guy who had schemed so much to deal with him be so kind?

"Of course not. I can keep providing you with information about Uchiha Sasuke, and if necessary, I can even let you go see him. But you need to offer me something in return..."

Hongzhi looked indifferently at Uchiha Itachi, who fell silent upon hearing this.

What does he have left? His most valuable Mangekyou Sharingan has definitely been taken by Hongzhi, and he has nothing left.

Should we hand over that flock of crows to this person in front of us?!
