Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

They don't need any medicine; they can go straight to sumo matches.

Undoubtedly, this unusual phenomenon caught Tsunade's attention.

After observing for a while, she finally discovered the problem.

It turns out that Shennong was passively using his ninjutsu, leveraging the principle of muscle growth.

Every muscle growth is actually accompanied by the destruction and regeneration of muscle.

The more trauma he suffers, the more it stimulates his muscles to grow larger.

However, this unregulated growth turned his body into a mountain of flesh, rather than the lean physique sculpted through exercise.

Although he looks like a lump of flesh, he is actually all lean muscle.

He also possesses a very special kind of magic that is constant within him.

This technique continuously operates using the power of artificial tailed beasts.

In the original story, Shennong mastered two major medical ninjutsu: Body Revitalization Technique and Body Regeneration Technique. Combined with Zero-Tails' dark chakra, he almost became a mini-Saiyan, getting stronger the more he fought.

However, this violent power is too simplistic and brutal, causing his muscles to turn into something resembling fat.

According to Shennong himself, he could even directly open all eight gates of the Eight Gates Formation using these two unique ninjutsu.

However, this is somewhat questionable, because Might Guy's performance was too outstanding. Even in his berserk state, Shennong's strength was at most close to the level of the fourth gate, which was no match for Might Guy who had opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates.

However, Hiruko always sought stability, so when Orochimaru's men captured Shennong, he realized that he had overestimated Shennong's strength.

Let alone opening all eight gates of the Eight Gates Formation, even if Shennong could open seven gates, he could easily escape.

Hiruko was able to make some inferences about these events in the storyline based on the intelligence she had gathered.

Hiruko asked Tsunade, "Can this technique be copied?"

After thinking for a moment, Tsunade replied, "Perhaps we can give it a try, but if we can get his secret technique scroll, that would be the best outcome."

These two techniques are difficult to extract directly using technological means; it's estimated that one would have to learn ninjutsu from scratch.

Ninjutsu has never been something indescribable or uncontrollable. With similar experience and knowledge, plus a little inspiration, one can naturally create similar techniques.

As one of their own, Tsunade naturally wouldn't press the matter further, but cautiously replied, "Let's see how it goes for now, and then have someone search for his secret technique scrolls."

Otherwise, we can only seek a solution from the perspective of zero tails.

This Zero-Tails can become a Tailed Beast, but its combat power is really not that great, as seen in its battle against the Five Ninja Villages.

They almost killed Shennong in an instant, and Shennong's mental state became increasingly deranged.

Judging from his expression, it seems he's even planning to go down in a self-destructive charade.

Hiruko remained calm and composed. With a gentle wave of his hand, countless intangible chains made of chakra instantly appeared.

They tightly bound the Shennong, who resembled a mountain of flesh, and together resisted the stubborn resistance of Zero Tail.

Zero Tail stopped abruptly, trembled twice, and then, apart from the most conspicuous mask, the rest of its body disappeared without a doubt.

Now that Zero-Tail has been destroyed, Shennong, who was already weak, can no longer hold on.

His muscles shrank instantly, and he reverted to the appearance of an ordinary person. His hair also fell out instantly, and he looked old and frail.

and.

His vitality plummeted, and his body felt as if it had been hollowed out. He lay on the ground with great difficulty, even moving was extremely difficult.

Hiruko immediately ordered the Zero-Tails to be imprisoned. Although the others had their own thoughts, Konoha was ultimately stronger, so Hiruko took the Zero-Tails back to Konoha.

As for Shennong, Hiruko simply captured him and brought him back to Konoha.

However, Konoha will naturally provide some compensation to the others.

Under the relentless bombardment of the tailed beasts, the air ninja, whose skills were already low and who hadn't even reached the level of a Jonin, had long been caught in the crossfire and died.

But since the person is already dead, let's not talk about these things anymore.

"Alright, everyone's been dealt with. Let's head back now." Although everyone present harbored deep-seated hatred for one another, they all tacitly chose to cooperate temporarily in the face of the lure of a huge sum of money.

It was a good thing that everyone was willing to cooperate, but Birukho knew in his heart that he had to step up and take control of the situation.

The ferocious beast he unleashed was incredibly powerful, and it would not stop until it was completely subdued and all factors that could cause disaster were eliminated.

This is definitely not the outcome Hiruko wanted, at least not now.

When peace arrives, he will have plenty of time to let these scheming people experience his power, but that's a story for another time.

But now, he can afford any loss of reputation, but he is very clear that his core support will always be the ninjas of Konoha, or those newly recruited ninjas.

Although Hiruko is usually taciturn, the Konoha ninjas all know that when necessary, they will stand firmly on his side.

However, this incident had a truly terrible impact, affecting the entire world.

Sunagakure has given up all hope and is completely reckless, intending to devour all the other small ninja villages in one fell swoop.

But not in Konoha. Hiruko absolutely cannot allow himself to lose face in the eyes of Konoha and the general public.

He could accept all the criticisms and accusations against his methods; at worst, he could remain a behind-the-scenes power holder or simply act as a behind-the-scenes mastermind.

They are focused solely on acquiring technological power, but Konoha's reputation must not be damaged as a result.

If Konoha were to truly bear the wrath of the common people, then all his long-term efforts would have been in vain.

Taking advantage of a moment when everyone's emotions had calmed down, Hiruko immediately stepped forward and said, "Everyone has already witnessed the current situation. Please stop now."

"Lord Beiruk, what do you mean..."

"Yes, just as you think. This operation is over."

"We can't squeeze every last bit of silver out of them. If we do, the ninjas in these small villages really won't be able to survive."

Hiruko knew that his suggestion was abrupt, but at this moment, no one else had the right to stop the chaos except him.

Naturally, apart from the ninjas belonging to Konoha, the faces of the ninjas from other villages immediately turned very ugly.

The ninjas of Konoha may not fully understand what they are doing, but they believe that their Lord Hiruko will lead them to the light and are willing to believe that he will give them a reasonable explanation.

Regardless of their inner thoughts, they must maintain a consistent facade in front of others.

This is also Hiruko's greatest achievement recently, with over 90% of the Konoha ninjas completely trusting him.

Even most people believe that Hiruko will definitely succeed Minato Namikaze as Hokage when he retires.

Hiruko knew that this matter was extremely troublesome, and indeed it was.

Just by looking at the Fourth Kazekage's expression, you can tell that the relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha is quite good because of their long-term cooperation and various forms of assistance.

The Fourth Kazekage was practically his father-in-law, and even he found it hard to agree to the proposal, let alone anyone else.

Of course, Hiruko understood that there was a reason why they were so impatient.

They had been living in poverty for a long time, but now that they finally had a chance to make a fortune, who wouldn't want to make a killing?

Money has an inexplicable allure that can easily change a person's stance and thoughts.

In an era where capitalism reigns supreme, how many people have changed their stance for money? This is a very simple truth.

For example, those guys who only care about profit are like sheep dogs.

However, these people are not yet able to shake Biluhu's resolve.

Regarding capital, Hiruko's attitude is that it can be used, but when it reaches a certain point, it must be swept away.

At this moment, the situation became increasingly heavy, and for a time, even Beiruhu could not grasp the situation, and the atmosphere became increasingly silent.

However, just as Hiruko was preparing to use her influence to persuade several small ninja villages...

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, suddenly spoke up: "Everyone, I'm not going."

The moment he spoke, Hiruko's pressure instantly lessened.

"Fourth Mizukage, what are you saying? Do you know how rare this opportunity is?" Iwagakure shouted.

The Fourth Mizukage shrugged and said seriously, "But did we come here just to make money?"

"It's okay to lose face for the sake of making money, but as a Shadow, I really can't agree with focusing only on the immediate benefits."

"If we continue to act this way, not only will the powerful Sky Village oppose us, but I think even a small ninja village like Grass Village will become dissatisfied with us."

"If this continues, those small ninja villages will likely be driven to the brink of despair and starve to death."

What our large ninja villages have no shortage of are ninjas who dare to fight to the death, and sometimes we even have to deal with conflicts of interest with smaller ninja villages.

Putting aside the costs for now, the other side is going all out for their own survival, and in the end, the small ninja village will surely suffer a large loss of people.

Most importantly, if even the smaller ninja villages were to perish, it would have a tremendous negative impact on the five great ninja villages. Yagura analyzed the situation very rationally.

These words immediately boosted the morale of everyone present, and those who had been blinded by money gradually came to their senses.

These large ninja villages survived and grew by drawing strength from smaller ninja villages, so naturally they had to leave a way for these smaller ninja villages to survive.

After all, the value created by the small ninja village is not much less than that of them.

Most ninjas are not afraid of death, but to make them experience another Shinobi World War, such a brutal war as the Third or Fourth Shinobi World War, would be a nightmare.

If Hiruko hadn't suddenly boosted Konoha's power, Konoha would have been completely powerless to cope.

But now, if another Ninja World War were to break out, it wouldn't be a matter of winning or losing anymore. If the losses were too great, even the great ninja villages would likely perish.

Then what is the point of starting a war?

Looking at the present situation, taking profits while one is ahead is the wisest choice, as it avoids war while still securing most of the gains.

If the five great ninja villages continue to be blinded by money, they will inevitably unite against each other and continue to exploit the other smaller ninja villages.

If it really comes to that, then let's fight. Who's afraid of who?

But now that Hiruko has refused, the others have also backed down.

Many ninjas began to waver, but a number of them remained unmoved.

While they may be rational, self-interest still influences their judgment.

This opportunity is too rare. It looks like the ninja village can use this opportunity to turn the tide, and even make more profits and seek a higher status.

What could be more despairing than poverty?
