Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Yagura was also somewhat incredulous: "You...you really agreed?"

Hiruko retorted, "Otherwise what?"

The relationship between the Land of Water and the Hidden Mist Village is actually quite similar to that between the Land of Fire and the Hidden Leaf Village.

Although the two sides are close, they are ultimately not completely one.

Given Hiruko's personality, he will ultimately integrate all the ninja village forces and the resources of the major powers, leaving them little room for independent development.

So it wouldn't hurt to give the Land of Water some incentives now.

"What, how about giving me Terumi Mei? I can give you a discount!" Hiruko said half-jokingly.

“No, Mei Terumi is the next…” Yagura stopped mid-sentence, seemingly realizing something.

Yagura, who suddenly remembered something, did not reject Hiruko's teasing.

Konoha's problem isn't really in terms of combat strength; the real headache is its mindset.

The ninjas of the Warring States period had stubborn ideas that were as hard and unyielding as rocks in a latrine.

Unfortunately, these people often hold high positions, making it difficult to shake their authority.

War may wipe out some of them, but it cannot wipe them all out.

If not handled properly, allowing them to sabotage things behind the scenes could lead to extremely troublesome consequences.

Hiruko didn't want another two or three decades-long war of maintaining stability to break up the ninja world when he was about to unify it.

Therefore, from now on, Hiruko consciously supports the reformist ninjas of the major ninja villages to come to power.

Clearly, Yagura was a smart man and a staunch supporter of the Meiji Restoration.

He would rather go through more trouble now than find himself in a mess later.

Of course, this can also be seen as a clever tactic to sow discord.

The great nobles have always believed that the whole world should be their treasure trove, which they can open at will.

However, Yagura bypassed them and started by addressing the issue of seeking investment from abroad, which naturally aroused their disgust.

If this continues, the relationship between Kirigakure and the Land of Water will likely become increasingly tense.

As the victorious nation, the Land of Fire had almost fallen out with Konoha before, so the situation in the Land of Water was self-evident, and Yagura was well aware of it.

However, there are some things that are simply beyond our control, requiring us to balance the interests of all parties while also pushing forward with reforms.

Having chosen this path, he was determined to bring a better life to the villagers, no matter what.

Thanks!

"You're welcome," Hiruko replied casually. He had originally intended to use the Land of Water's fishing industry to allow the children of Konoha to eat more fish.

Since Yagura had this idea, he naturally wouldn't stop him.

Rather than taking the initiative and being intercepted by Yagura halfway, resulting in an entanglement between the two, it would be better to let go and allow Yagura to make his move, while he himself could also benefit from it.

With sufficient funds, Beirut can promote the rapid development of science and technology.

Moreover, once these business alliances are solidified, they will greatly benefit the stable development of Kirigakure in the later stages.

In the original story, after Madara was resurrected through Edo Tensei during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the shinobi entered a phase of mutual understanding, but to say that they returned to peace was complete nonsense.

Many ninjas had the blood of their enemies on their hands, and they only reluctantly compromised because of the two bigwigs of Konoha.

If you disregard the Boruto storyline, their actions are actually quite similar to Hashirama's back then.

Although the two leaders were willing to maintain peace, the ninja world would inevitably be plunged into conflict again sooner or later.

However, if the business alliance can function well, it would at least be a good start.

With sufficient benefits, war might indeed be avoided.

Konoha will not stop them; they might even invest a little money.

Of course, it would be even better if the investment could be made in someone else's name.

As long as it's truly profitable, funds from the Land of Fire will naturally flow in continuously.

"However, Yagura, you must understand that when funds flow in, people may gradually lose their own stance."

"You should know what I'm talking about," Hiruko said with a laugh.

“I understand.” Although Yagura was clearly unwilling to discuss such a very real political issue, he knew that what Hiruko said was true.

Hiruko didn't force the issue. He knew that sooner or later, the situation in the Land of Water would force Yagura to make a choice.

So the two continued eating and drinking, temporarily reaching a tacit understanding.

Three days later, in Hiruko's laboratory.

Hiruko was never able to awaken a higher level of her eyes with her Uchiha clone.

In fact, some of these problems have existed for a long time.

Each cell has a limited number of divisions, and cultivating a cell into a complete individual consumes a huge amount of vitality.

Moreover, cells collected from previously cultured experimental subjects and cultured again will have far less viability than those from the first-generation experimental subjects.

Over time, the cell samples deteriorated significantly.

Even if Hiruko later extracted Uchiha Shisui's cell clones and then cultivated them using a universal medicine.

Even after injecting life-giving potions, it was still completely insufficient to meet the life force required to activate the Rinnegan.

Before evolving into the Rinnegan, or even the Mangekyou Sharingan, the body had already collapsed.

Beirukhu did not have a good solution to this problem either.

Originally, I wanted to achieve instant success by directly cultivating a clone with the Rinnegan bloodline limit, but now it seems that this idea is still not very realistic.

According to Hiruko's calculations, it is highly likely that he obtained the living cells of Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki from the Uzumaki clan.

Only by combining the two can a clone with the Rinnegan be truly created.

With the panacea demonstrating its amazing effects time and again in missions, even disregarding its ability to activate cellular pluripotency, its current proven characteristic as a powerful warrior recovery potion is already a rare and valuable item.

If it weren't for its almost universally known and visible side effects—that it depletes cellular vitality and may even significantly reduce lifespan—it's hard to imagine how many people would want to get their hands on this stuff.

This medicine, which has great strategic value, is still very precious.

Hiruko carefully put away the panacea; he hadn't even told Orochimaru about it.

Hiruko had also wondered why he had transmigrated into his body and not someone else.

Then he realized that perhaps it was because he dreamed of becoming a scientist when he was a child that he transmigrated into the body of Biluhu.

Moreover, the two are extremely compatible in spirit and personality, and both are full of desire for the unknown.

His previous life was quite dark.

Hiruko was no better this time. He was extremely self-deprecating, arrogant, conceited, and thought himself clever, yet he was indifferent to the people and things around him.

As time went by, Hiruko increasingly realized that he was not much different from the Hiruko in the original story.

These two are truly counterparts from parallel worlds.

However, in the original story, Hiruko lived in that crazy world, while he himself was born in a peaceful era in his previous life.

Even in the war-torn ninja world, it's impossible to guarantee that everyone's mental fortitude is so strong.

Just like myself now, without the incredibly powerful God's perspective and the cheat code of a transmigrator, it's hard to say how much better I would perform than Beiliuhu in the original work.

Having been in this world for several years, Hiruko no longer regards others as low-intelligence NPCs.

In this world full of human relationships and social niceties, never underestimate anyone.

Hiruko was also worried that he might one day make a mistake, so he became extra careful when dealing with enemies.

The more he learned, the more awe he felt for those high-ranking figures.

They are the trendsetters of this world; I am far from reaching that level.

In one respect, he is much better than the original character, Beiliuhu.

Chapter 128 Tsunade

That is, the enormous amount of information brought by time travel reshaped his outlook on life and, to a certain extent, guided him in his present state.

Looking at Tsunade and Nono lying in the bedroom playing around, Hiruko felt a sense of peace.

Humans are indeed social animals; they need mutual understanding, interdependence, and reliance to survive.

According to Hiruko, everyone is born into this world with inherent shackles and strives to live in this world.

If the shackles between yourself and others don't lead you astray, then you're truly fortunate.

All I can say is, don't be a turtle, find a good person, and you'll be happy for life.

Ever since he transmigrated here, every morning when he opens his eyes, the first thing Hiruko does is deal with the future world-ending crisis and obtain immortality.

That indescribable pressure was truly unbearable.

This is not a fake game in a fantasy world. You only have one life, and you and your loved ones are facing a real crisis.

Are we counting on Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha?

Hiruko no longer dared to believe in the future, fearing that his butterfly effect might lead to unforeseen changes.

We can only rely on the information we remember and the current situation to roughly deduce and influence the development of certain events in order to gain an intelligence advantage.

Aside from that, I'm not very confident, and I can only let things take their natural course.

Hiruko was not without backup plans, such as a super virus buried in his own body.

The toxins he inherited from Singid became increasingly bizarre and powerful, combined with his knowledge of biological and biochemical toxins from his previous life.

Hiruko himself couldn't imagine what would happen if one day his true form was destroyed.

If these toxins were to erupt, the entire planet would likely be destroyed in an instant.

If I were to die, the entire ninja world would probably be doomed.

However, there are still people in this world he cherishes, and for that reason, he must strive to live well.

"What are you thinking about? You seemed a little down earlier," Tsunade asked curiously.
