Konoha's Hextech Ninja

However, he couldn't refuse Yagami Yoruichi's request and could only manage a very forced smile.

"It's settled then." Yagami Yoichi could see Yamato's reluctance, but he didn't soften his stance at all.

Even if it only increases the progress of the Wood Release experiment by one percent, it can save a lot of time and money.

Compared to these things, Yamato's own wishes are not so important.

"By the way, some information from that world is also very valuable. It's a good opportunity to make it public so that the village's leaders can see how much Konoha has declined under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, to the point that even Sunagakure dares to bully them."

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind, and at the same time, he wondered what Uchiha Fugaku's reaction would be if he heard that his eldest son had wiped out the Uchiha clan.

This was many years before Itachi Uchiha was born.

Even if Fugaku Uchiha broke down because of this, he couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on.

Yagami Yoruichi was very curious about Uchiha Fugaku's expression at that time.

Chapter 200 Naruto, do you want to see your mother?

As the frontline troops returned, news of Sunagakure's defeat quickly spread throughout Konoha.

For a time, Konoha was filled with jubilation.

Countless people are celebrating this victory, which can be described as 'perfect'.

No one died, and they didn't spend much money. They easily defeated a powerful enemy and even brought Konoha a huge compensation.

From any perspective, this is a joyous occasion that excites countless Konoha villagers and ninjas.

But amidst this joyous atmosphere, a few individuals stood out as out of place.

“Isn’t Sunagakure our ally? Why…” Naruto was muttering to himself when Sakura punched him on the forehead.

"Idiot Naruto!" Sakura whispered, "Are you stupid?! How many times have I told you, this world is different from ours, and the relationships between villages are different too! If anyone hears you saying that, you're going to be in trouble again!"

"Yes, I'm sorry," Naruto Uzumaki quickly apologized.

Although he didn't think he had done anything wrong, Naruto Uzumaki still acted very naturally when faced with an angry Sakura.

Not far away, Sai was standing in front of the village's bulletin board.

Besides the latest announcement of Sunagakure's defeat and surrender, the notices regarding Danzo Shimura's numerous crimes and the punishments for Hiruzen Sarutobi and his two companions' "lax supervision" are still posted on the wall and have not been taken down.

"Lord Danzo, has he already been executed for his crimes?" Sai asked expressionlessly, but his heart was in turmoil.

He was a tool of Root, and at this time he had not yet been 'influenced' by Naruto Uzumaki, and was loyal to Danzo Shimura.

Seeing Shimura Danzo publicly executed for his crimes in this world, even though he was already aware of the differences between the two worlds, he still couldn't accept it.

"Sai, what's wrong?" Naruto Uzumaki noticed Sai's unusual behavior and went over to ask.

"No, it's nothing. Let's go. It's about time to eat. Don't you love ramen the most? Let's go to Ichiraku Ramen." Sai pulled Naruto Uzumaki away, who wanted to take a look at the bulletin board.

Behind the group, Kakashi Hatake glanced thoughtfully at Sai, thinking to himself, "Are you paying close attention to news about Danzo Shimura? I need to write this down."

Although Yagami Yoruichi and Hatake Sakumo did not explicitly tell Hatake Kakashi what to do, they only asked him to take Uzumaki Naruto and the others around the village.

However, Kakashi Hatake subconsciously believed that he was sent there to monitor them, and he would carefully analyze the three of them's various behaviors.

After analyzing for a long time, Kakashi Hatake discovered that Naruto Uzumaki was a simple-minded idiot, and the girl named Sakura was not smart either, only slightly better than Naruto Uzumaki.

Only this one named Sai looks very strange and is worth noting.

Especially after discovering that Sai was paying close attention to Shimura Danzo, Kakashi Hatake became even more concerned about him.

……

Orochimaru's laboratory.

After Sakumo Hatake succeeded as Hokage and established the 'Science Department', he built a new building on the outskirts of the village.

Many experiments still carry a certain degree of risk, so it is natural to choose places far away from crowds.

The vast majority of the equipment was originally from the Root organization, as well as equipment and instruments that Orochimaru purchased privately.

After the first payment was received, Orochimaru purchased some new equipment through the village's channels, thus establishing the laboratory framework for the Science Department.

As for the selection of personnel, Orochimaru looked down on the so-called 'research talents' in the village, but he still reluctantly accepted a group of people who could barely be considered capable.

There was nothing he could do; the village had too many projects piled up, and he couldn't possibly complete them all by himself.

These so-called 'professionals' were not good enough in Orochimaru's eyes, but they were at least barely qualified to be assistants.

A few outstanding individuals, who are also quite talented, can be trained to lead some less important projects.

—For example, Beiliuhu.

Orochimaru had almost forgotten about this former classmate, but when they met again, he was surprised to find that Hiruko's research on the human body, especially bloodline limits, was no less than his own.

After careful consideration, Hiruko was immediately appointed as the second-in-command of the 'Wood Release - Sharingan Bloodline Limit Fusion' project.

At this moment.

Inside the laboratory.

Orochimaru and Hiruko stared at the test data, both showing excited expressions.

"Yoruichi-kun," Orochimaru said in his signature hoarse voice, "Where did you find this person? His Wood Release, while not perfect, is extremely stable. With this data, the Wood Release experiments will definitely progress much faster!"

“He comes from a parallel world. In that world, he is the only Wood Release ninja you have successfully created.” Yagami Yoruichi briefly introduced Yamato’s identity and reminded him, “Don’t kill him. He is a guest, not a prisoner.”

"Don't worry, it's just collecting some gene samples. How could I bear to kill such a precious data carrier?" Orochimaru excitedly licked his lips and asked, "A parallel world? Then his brain must contain a lot of valuable information..."

“I know a little bit. For example, in that world, you were a rogue ninja of Konoha, and you even tried to destroy Konoha. Although you didn’t succeed, you killed your teacher.” Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Hiruko beside him and said, “Yes, Hiruko was one of them. He defected in order to perfect the Oni-Garara Technique, and he arrogantly wanted to start a war in the Shinobi World, fighting against the five great ninja villages all at once by himself, and then he was killed.”

A bead of cold sweat broke out on Beiliuhu's forehead.

With an invincible figure like Yoruichi Yagami around, I must have lost my mind to want to defect!

The 'Demon Sprout Technique' was still just a concept in his mind.

Even after achieving his ideal "Oni-Garara Technique" and fusing the five bloodline limits, Hiruko didn't think he could defeat Yagami Yoruichi.

Not to mention simultaneously waging war against the five great ninja villages.

"Lord Yoruichi, please don't joke like that." Hiruko said with a laugh, "I am absolutely loyal to Yoruichi and the Hokage! Defection? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Don't worry, I won't punish you for the crimes you committed in the parallel world." Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Hiruko and said, "Your talent is quite good, don't misuse it. A ninja doesn't necessarily need to rely on great strength to contribute to the village. With your talent, you can make significant contributions to the village without fighting. The village will not mistreat those who have made contributions."

The establishment of the 'Department of Science' is a very clear signal.

Those who make contributions to scientific research can also be promoted, and their promotion speed is faster than that of ordinary ninjas.

Hiruko is the best example.

From an insignificant special ninja, he rose to become the second-in-command of a core project in the Science Department.

If you make outstanding contributions to this project, a promotion and a raise are just around the corner.

Hiruko, who has always been insecure, cares most about this.

As long as he feels valued, he will frantically manipulate himself, transforming into a nuclear-powered donkey, engaging in insane competition, and serving the village.

Since the establishment of the Science Department, Hiruko has spent almost all her time in the laboratory, except for the most basic things like eating and sleeping. She even used shadow clones to speed up her work.

This level of competition is so intense that even if a former Alibaba executive from Yagami Yoruichi's previous life were to come, he would have to call her the "King of Competition."

……

After waiting for a while, Orochimaru and Hiruko finally collected enough data and samples from Yamato.

“That’s enough,” Orochimaru said. “With this data and samples, the progress of the Wood Release experiment can be increased by at least 30%. After refining the plan, we can move on to the human experimentation phase.”

Then he looked at Yoruichi Yagami and asked, "When will the test subjects I requested be ready?"

"The test subjects for ordinary people are ready. The test subjects for ninjas are on their way and will be delivered in a few days."

The subjects of the experiments were all death row inmates.

However, it's easy to find ordinary death row inmates; there are plenty in the prisons of the Land of Fire, and you can buy a batch for a little money.

However, there are too few death row inmates who are ninjas.

Ordinary ninjas, even if they commit serious crimes, are rarely sentenced to death.

If the case truly reaches the point where the death penalty must be imposed, the execution is usually carried out quickly, without first imprisoning the offender.

For example, Danzo Shimura and his Root followers.

The ninja test subjects needed for human experiments were all prisoners of war from enemy ninja villages captured on the front lines.

In order to force Sunagakure to surrender, Yagami Yoruichi did not use the Sunagakure prisoners as test subjects for Orochimaru.

However, on the battlefield of the Cloud Ninja, Minato Namikaze did capture some Cloud Ninja prisoners.

After receiving the request from the rear, they sent people to return some of the prisoners to the village.

"The number of ninja test subjects is not large, so try to use them sparingly," Yagami Yoruichi reminded. "When conducting experiments, it's best to have medical ninjas on standby. If any problems arise, try to revive the person and reuse them."

Orochimaru: "..."

Hiruko: "..."

After a long silence, Orochimaru finally spoke, "Yoruichi-kun, you really are... completely different from what I imagined."

“There’s no need to be merciful to enemies.” Yagami Yoruichi shook his head and said, “But we can’t be like that to our own people. If anyone lays a hand on our comrades in the village, I certainly won’t let them get away with it.”

Orochimaru knew that Yoruichi Yagami was warning him, and immediately said, "As long as you can guarantee the supply of test subjects, I don't care where they come from."

"Now that it's all over, I'll take him with me." Yagami Yoruichi pointed at Yamato.

"Let me wake him up first." Orochimaru picked up a syringe and injected the medicine inside into Yamato's body.

The medicine was very effective. Within seconds, Yamato opened his eyes and saw Orochimaru's pale face. He was startled and almost instinctively used Wood Release ninjutsu.

Seeing Yamato's performance, Orochimaru seemed to be deep in thought, his mind wandering.

"It seems that I, from another world, left a deep shadow on him..."

"The test subject I created?"

"interesting."

Orochimaru showed no hostility toward Yamato, as if he hadn't seen Yamato's attempt to attack, and turned to look at Yoruichi Yagami.

"Yamato, let's go." Yagami Yoruichi called out.

Yamato finally realized that he had agreed to Yagami Yoruichi's request to cooperate with Orochimaru in collecting body data to improve the Wood Release experiment plan.

It seems that my 'job' is done.

Yamato quickly followed Yagami Yoruichi and left.

He never wants to come to this laboratory again in his life.

And Orochimaru, it's best if we never see him again!

Leaving the science building, Yamato let out a long breath, instantly feeling much more relaxed.

"Is it really necessary?" Yagami Yoruichi glanced at Yamato and said, "Orochimaru isn't that strong, why are you so afraid?"

Yamato was speechless.

Orochimaru wasn't strong?

There are probably very few people in this world who can say this without batting an eye.

However, after learning about Yagami Yoruichi's terrifying feat of almost wiping out Sunagakure Village single-handedly, Yamato didn't think that Yagami Yoruichi was exaggerating.

Given Yagami Yoruichi's strength, she certainly has the right to say that Orochimaru is not strong.

"Senpai," Yamato asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with? If not, I'd like to go see Naruto and the others."

Yamato couldn't really trust Naruto Uzumaki, who was so prone to causing trouble.

"Go check it out." Yagami Yoruichi sensed Naruto's location and immediately said, "They're eating right now, so we can join them."

With that, Yagami Yoruichi put his hand on Yamato's shoulder and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Since learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, Yagami Yoruichi has left Flying Thunder God marks in every corner of Konoha.

If you can use teleportation, never walk.

Spatial transformation.

Yagami Yoruichi brought Yamato to the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen.
