Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Hiruko always manages to easily provoke him, as if he were born to be his nemesis.

"Didn't you say yourself that you hate waiting?"

Hiruko, speechless, hooked his arm around Sasori's neck, a bright smile spreading across his face.

"Besides, we seem to know each other quite well." Scorpion turned his face away, too lazy to pay him any attention.

This seemingly harmless fellow, Sasori had already sensed Hiruko's madness.

Although he appeared gentle and harmless, Scorpion knew that Hiruko harbored a true madness deep down. He always said that he was a madman, but in reality, the real madman was Hiruko.

If it weren't for those women conspiring with that bastard, Biluhu, he might have truly become a god among men.

Although Hiruko also wanted to protect the common people who lived peacefully, he was essentially a complete madman.

At this moment, Hiruko and Sasori were interacting as if no one else was around, which shocked the three people on the side, especially Granny Chiyo, who looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Her rebellious and unfilial grandson was surprisingly close to a strange man.

As Sasori's true family member, Granny Chiyo guided him onto the path of a puppeteer and placed high hopes on him.

Although she couldn't understand Scorpion's true thoughts or the so-called art he pursued, she knew very well that Scorpion was aloof and proud, and never easily got close to others.

Perhaps the creature that suddenly emerged from the ground is not the current scorpion, but simply looks similar, but the similarity is a bit too high.

"Scorpion, you and Granny Chiyo should handle this yourselves this time."

Hiruko crossed her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, and generously offered the space to Granny Chiyo.

He had previously expressed to Sasori his keen interest in Sasori's exquisite puppetry and Chiyo's future resurrection techniques.

Sasori has always been a smart man. In Hiruko's opinion, before he can completely suppress and resist him, this kid should be smart enough not to directly kill Granny Chiyo and Sakura.

In this way, one can both sit back and watch the tigers fight, and also reap many benefits from this conflict. Why not?

The previously silent future Sasori listened to the conversation between Hiruko and Sasori with a furrowed brow, his confusion surging like a tide.

His gaze swept around, and he wondered to himself: Could this guy be from the past?

Scorpion seemed to have sensed Scorpion's thoughts in the future.

He slowly turned his head to look at Sakura Haruno, his eyes as cold as ice blades in winter, as if he were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

Sakura was so frightened by that cold gaze that her hair stood on end, her heart pounded wildly in her chest, and panic raged within her like a headless fly.

In Sasori's eyes, this kid from Konoha had a really poor mental fortitude, but judging from his performance in the battle just now, he was still a decent prospect.

He thought to himself that if he could turn it into a human puppet, its psychological defects would be completely negligible, making it an undeniably valuable treasure.

Hiruko smiled slightly, a hint of something inexplicable in his smile, and then said, "I can't give this to you."

"You bastard, don't go too far!"

The other party was clearly extremely dissatisfied with Hiruko's decision, and his voice suddenly rose several decibels.

"You promised me before that you'd let me freely hunt down Konoha ninjas from parallel worlds..."

"No, no, no, what I said was that the Konoha ninjas in this world are no good, I didn't ask you to hunt down ninjas from other worlds."

Even if we're going to hunt them down, we should pick less important ones, so as not to ruin the bigger picture.

Hiruko sensed the other's growing dissatisfaction, like a volcano about to erupt, and changed his tone, his voice carrying an undeniable air of authority:

"Of course, I'm not saying you can't hunt Konoha ninjas from other worlds, but this time, this girl is my prey that I set my sights on first, and no one can take her away from me."

With a "bang," Scorpion slammed his fist into the tree trunk beside him, expressionless.

Anyway, I can't beat you, so you can explain it however you want.

"Besides, this girl doesn't have any powerful bloodline limit, so even if she's made into a puppet, she'll be just so-so."

Although she inherited Tsunade's body and has good potential, turning her into a human puppet that can fully unleash her abilities is easier said than done.

Not only do you need to understand everything she has learned in her life, but you also need to have extremely strong chakra control and enough chakra, which is too energy-consuming.

Controlling puppets is difficult enough, let alone controlling multiple ones. Unless Scorpion can develop autonomous puppetry, it would be a complete waste of effort.

Hiruko explained it in detail to himself.

After all, he still had to give face to his chief Gundam research scientist, Hiruko.

As he spoke, he casually groped Sakura Haruno's body beside him.

"Bastard! Let me go!"

"No!"

Sakura Haruno felt her body being violated, especially her sensitive areas being touched, and she immediately flew into a rage.

His eyes burned with fury, and he wished he could break free of his restraints and beat the guy who had taken liberties with him black and blue.

"Heh, from now on you're just my toy, how dare you be so arrogant!"

Hiruko looked at Haruno Sakura coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes, as if he already regarded her as his own possession.

Hiruko's bonds, like a kite with a broken string, were long gone from the previous world.

In his mind, these people from the parallel world were nothing more than strangers passing by, and could not be considered his confidants at all.

Therefore, when faced with any woman in this world whom he takes a fancy to, he plans to imprison her without any scruples, as if they were merely objects that he can manipulate at will.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura Haruno thought of the figure that haunted her dreams, and her heart was filled with despair. Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, as if that would bring Sasuke to her rescue.

Distracted by the crying, Hiruko raised his hand in annoyance and knocked her unconscious with a chop to the neck.

Sakura Haruno's body went limp and she fell into a coma.

Scorpion watched coldly from the sidelines, looking at Hiruko with a strange gaze.

He didn't want to be looked down upon by this lecherous guy, after all, he, Scorpion, was a well-known figure in the puppeteer world.

Controlling a human puppet is by no means easy; it depends entirely on the operator's extraordinary abilities and extremely refined skills.

Furthermore, the chakra that drives the puppet's activities all comes from the controller himself; the puppet does not possess an inexhaustible supply of chakra like the Edo Tensei.

Take the Third Kazekage's puppet as an example. Why didn't Sasori use the ultimate move, Iron Sand World Technique, directly at the beginning?

It's because this move consumes too much chakra.

With Sasori's own chakra reserves, he simply couldn't use the Iron Sand World Technique as a regular skill at will.

What Hiruko said earlier did make some sense, but it's a self-disciplined doll.

Is it possible for us to develop it ourselves?

Scorpion casually pulled a small bottle from his waist, opened the cap, and a hypnotic gas slowly drifted toward the elderly Chiyo.

Before Granny Chiyo could react, she was knocked unconscious by the gas.

Scorpion skillfully trapped Granny Chiyo inside a puppet's body, then quickly formed hand seals to seal Granny Chiyo's life force and soul into a special box, which he then carefully stored in a blank scroll.

He learned some information about the "self-reincarnation technique" from Hirukori.

Although he understood that this was a manifestation of Chiyo's love for him, he himself was not particularly interested in it.

Granny Chiyo's "Resurrection Technique" can not only revive the dead, but also give life to puppets, making them "come alive".

This is completely contrary to the approach of Scorpion, who first kills living people and turns them into lifeless puppets; it is a fundamental ideological conflict.

Therefore, it's normal that Scorpion doesn't like Granny Chiyo, since the two have such big differences in this area.

However, Hiruko felt that combining Chiyo's and Sasori's philosophies might spark something different.

The true beauty of eternity lies in creating puppets that cannot be damaged and possess real life.

Moreover, the fusion of their technologies in the future might even lead to the mass production of beings similar to "Miss 2B," which would be incredibly interesting.

Although Hiruko was despicable and shameless, he did not force others to agree with him.

He felt that ideological protection would only imprison other people's thinking and make most people blindly agree with their own ideas, which was not what he wanted.

Every person is a unique individual. It is precisely because of the existence of different ideas that more scientific sparks can be generated like stars colliding, bringing more inspiration.

This is like the blind men touching an elephant. Some touched the trunk, some touched the legs, and some touched the tusks, so everyone thought their description was correct.

Actually, everyone is right and everyone is wrong, and that's also a direction for scientific development.

“Scorpion, as a genius puppeteer, even if you don’t like this old woman, you should at least master this knowledge. You never know when it might come in handy,” Hiruko said casually.

It's unclear whether that ignorant and clueless person in the future will actually be able to create fantastical beings like 2B or Rozen Maiden.

Hiruko had no intention of forcing Sasori to change his deeply ingrained ideas, but deep down, he still harbored a faint hope.

In his view, the anime/manga community of time travelers seems to be divided into different genres.

A genre that can traverse the worlds of popular manga such as Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece.

Another genre focuses on traversing everyday anime worlds, the lesser-known kind.

His first time transmigrating, he arrived in the Naruto world, which is most likely the same as Naruto and Bleach; uh.

Wanting to explore those niche anime worlds is basically a pipe dream.

On the contrary, if the technology that Scorpion is researching can be perfected, he might be able to create the girl he longed for in his past life.

Like Ikaros, who is gentle yet strong, or Yukino, who is a cool and aloof girl.

Even if it's just made into a large figurine and displayed at home, that would be wonderful.

"Hmph, of course," Scorpion said with a cold arrogance.

Beiruk's lips curled up slightly.

After settling Granny Chiyo and Sasori in, he turned to Sasori and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Chapter 164 Draw Sakura to get Egg

Hiruko quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a sealing technique. A gentle breeze swept by, and Sakura was enveloped by an invisible force and sealed away.

He strode forward and hoisted Sakura onto his back with swift and decisive movements.

"We need to find a place to digest our spoils, then find a place to lie low for a while, and incidentally find out about the situation in this world."
