Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Seeing this bewildered little guy in front of me, and then thinking about his future, dramatic and controversial actions...

Hiruko reached out and lightly flicked Itachi's forehead with a "smack." Caught off guard, Itachi fell to the ground.

"Uncle, what are you doing?" Itachi Uchiha winced slightly, rubbing his forehead gently, tilting his head, and asked with a puzzled look.

"Call me Daddy!" Hiruko immediately revealed a mocking expression.

Chapter 15 Amusing Kids!

"You are not my father!"

"Haha, just call me brother, don't call me uncle, I'm not that old!"

Hiruko ruffled his hair in an annoyed tone, then pulled him into a hug. "Little guy, what's bothering you?"

"I want to know what the meaning of living is, what the meaning of life is, what life truly is," Itachi Uchiha said earnestly.

Uchiha Itachi didn't care about the heavy blow to his forehead, nor did he care that the old man was asking him to call him "Dad".

Still looking bewildered, he muttered to himself, "What is the meaning of life?"

Hiruko raised his hand and gently patted his head, replying with a smile: "Life doesn't necessarily have to have a predetermined meaning."

But as long as you live, and keep living, you might find the meaning of life someday.

Being alive is itself an incredibly beautiful thing.

He tilted his head slightly, as if lost in memories, "Take me for example, my parents were brutally murdered right in front of me by those guys from the Land of Thunder."

But I never gave up, because as long as I'm alive, there's hope, and I'm determined to avenge them!

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a slightly frivolous smile.

"Besides, there are so many beautiful women in Konoha Village, I can't bear to die."

"To live is to have hope, and to die is to end. Once life ends, everything is gone. So nobody wants to die. Struggling to survive is the instinct of all life."

As Hiruko spoke, she held Uchiha Itachi in her arms and slowly shared her insights on life.

The deeper Hiruko went into this ninja world, the more he hated the cruelty of this world, as a modern person who had transmigrated here.

He yearned to change the world, but ultimately his power was insufficient.

Without a unified nation, conflicts will never end.

He longed to unify the ninja world, so that after he left, there would be no more wars and ordinary civilians could have a chance to breathe.

He never pitied the powerful and wealthy who were killed, but believed that the bloodsuckers who leeched off the poor deserved their fate.

Hiruko only pitied those who worked hard all their lives, only to be inexplicably tortured and killed by ninja masters in their own homes.

You have to understand that in modern society, he's just an ordinary worker, repeating the same monotonous tasks every day.

Now that he has arrived in the ninja world, a surge of ambition and passion to change everything has welled up in his heart.

He yearned to live, had an almost obsessive pursuit of immortality, and wanted to see the vast and boundless world and experience its endless beauty.

He didn't want to die; that intense will to live shaped the man he is today, Beirut.

Moreover, as long as you are alive, you will still have the opportunity to return to your real hometown.

So he made up his mind to live on and on, without stopping.

He wants to travel to all the heavens and worlds and see the sights of different worlds, so how could he be content with just one corner?

Hiruko longed to see more scenery, and all of this required immortality and immense power as a solid guarantee.

He never wanted to relive the painful feeling of his parents dying in front of him when he was a child, and how he felt powerless and helpless. He never wanted to become so weak.

Hiruko had long ago set himself a small goal: to strive for immortality within twenty years.

Completely master the Demon Sprout Technique, become a true ultimate life form, and possess an immortal, infinite life.

In a sense, he and Orochimaru were true kindred spirits.

"Beauty, hope, living represents hope." Uchiha Itachi muttered to himself, his little head seemingly understanding, as a strange feeling gradually welled up in his heart.

Although he was still confused, he seemed to have grasped something crucial.

Hiruko stretched out his two strong arms and lifted Uchiha Itachi up high.

Then, smiling, he said, "Yes, never give up on living, because only by living can there be hope!"

"Every child is the hope of adults."

Hiruko then lowered Itachi Uchiha, who had been holding him high.

As a modern person who had traveled from another era, Hiruko felt great pity for these junior ninjas in the ninja world.

They were not even adults yet, but they had to survive in brutal battles. Uchiha Itachi was even brought into the battlefield at the age of four by his stupid father. It would be strange if he didn't become mentally ill.

In peacetime, they should be studying in schools and enjoying a carefree childhood, but instead they are constantly killing others.

Hiruko understood that he could not save everyone, but he was willing to lend a helping hand to those he was destined to meet.

"Cough cough..." Itachi Uchiha was a little uncomfortable with Hiruko's hand pressing on his head and kept trying to get rid of it.

"It's fate that we met. Let's go, I'll treat you to something to eat." With that thought, Hiruko led Uchiha Itachi away from there and headed towards the food street.

"No...no need." Little Uchiha Itachi wanted to act aloof, but before he could finish speaking, Hiruko had already taken his small hand and strode forward.

He could only take two steps at a time, following behind Beiliuhu.

To be honest, the uncle in front of me is quite good-looking, with a head of smooth white hair and a gentle smile on his face, giving people a warm feeling.

However, the aura of chakra emanating from him gave off a somewhat chilling feeling.

Like Orochimaru, he had slightly pale skin and a small diamond-shaped mark on his forehead, which added a unique charm to him.

As Itachi walked, he secretly observed the kind old man.

Hiruko led the child by the hand and headed towards the bustling area of ​​Konoha.

As he approached his familiar dessert shop, he suddenly realized he hadn't asked the little one's name yet; after all, he couldn't just say he knew.

Hiruko suddenly asked, "Oh right, I forgot to ask, what's your name, little guy?"

"Little friend, what's your name?" Hiruko asked with a smile.

"My name is Uchiha Itachi."

Uchiha Itachi replied in a childish voice, "And you, old man?"

"I am Beiruhu."

Hiruko was always very low-key and preferred to stay in his research lab alone to conduct experiments. He never achieved any remarkable military exploits on the battlefield.

Unlike the well-known Legendary Sannin of Konoha, not many people know about them.

However, due to some special circumstances, he has a considerable reputation among the Konoha ninja, no less than that of the Sannin.

It has to be said that Lady Mikoto is truly a classic Yamato Nadeshiko. I saw her a few times on the battlefield; she was indeed very cool, and my collecting spirit has been triggered.

Hiruko suddenly remembered a saying from his past life: "Entering someone's yard makes you think of their melons, teasing someone's child makes you think of their mother."

Chapter 16 Mrs. Mikoto

Because of prosthetic technology, all the crippled ninjas owe Hiruko a favor.

These connections gave Hiruko a high political standing; otherwise, the third-generation elder wouldn't have sought Hiruko's opinion on the issue of the fourth generation.

With those few old bastards around, Beiliuhu's reputation is just laughable.

Looking at the tiny Itachi, Hiruko suddenly thought of Uchiha Mikoto. At that time, her own fame was insignificant, while Mikoto's was too dazzling.

If we had to pinpoint the exact origin of Hiruko's fame, it would be during the Second Shinobi World War.

As an old classmate and suitor, he fully supported Tsunade and helped her establish a mature medical ninja system.

They also brought out some strange and unusual medical ninja tools, which greatly improved the survival rate of Konoha ninjas.

In addition, his subsequent development of some unique technologies has earned him a fairly good reputation in Konoha.

Afterwards, he extorted research funding and a relatively complete technology laboratory from the higher-ups in the Hokage's faction.

From then on, he distanced himself from the battlefields filled with bloodshed and killing, where life was wasted, and retreated to the background.

He devoted himself to various scientific research projects and almost never appeared in public again.

The next time he appeared, it was Hiruko who, with his prosthetic technology, helped the wounded Konoha ninja regain their mobility.

Therefore, unless they specifically look it up, few younger ninjas know Hiruko, but most of the older ones do.

Hiruko didn't have much aversion to Itachi Uchiha.

For Hiruko, the people and things in this world were both incredibly familiar and incredibly strange to him.

He would never use the plot of his entire life to fully consider the so-called plot characters and plot inertia, nor did he have too many rigid considerations.

Because of my involvement, the changes in the ninja world have been enormous.

Just like Orochimaru, who appears to be a mad scientist, but actually cares deeply about his companions.

Danzo was not just a troublemaker; without him, the Third Shinobi World War would not have been resolved so easily.

Moreover, Danzo was not just a fool with lots of money; he had his own plans and considerations regarding Hiruko.

The Third Hokage was not as gentle as he had imagined; as Hokage, he was quite charismatic.

When commanding on the battlefield, he could make a firm decision to sacrifice some people, truly deserving the title of "hero of forbearance."

However, Tsunade's heart is truly magnanimous; she is the same in this life as she was in her past life.

Just thinking of Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, brought to Hiruko's mind that the cute little guy, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After all, he had gotten along quite well with that little girl in order to pursue Tsunade.

Despite all precautions, we still couldn't prevent the little guy's death, only the location of the death changed.

In this damned world, weakness is a sin, and Rope Tree died because he was too weak.

In Orochimaru's account, the little guy unfortunately fell into the enemy's trap, and in an instant, his internal organs were blown to pieces, and he died on the spot without any chance of rescue.

Everything happened so fast that even someone as powerful as Orochimaru was unable to provide timely assistance and could only watch helplessly as his disciple departed.
