Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

To be honest, in this ninja world where illiteracy is rampant, it's as rare as finding gold in yak dung to find a few people who value Sakura Haruno's knowledge.

Moreover, Sakura Haruno dares to express her own opinions, which is commendable given her decent theoretical knowledge.

In addition, she had previously learned a lot about medical ninjutsu, which was the key reason why Hiruko decided to make her her assistant.

Of course, Sakura Haruno is an assistant during the day, but at night she uses her mouth as her assistant.

However, what Hiruko is doing now has long exceeded the scope of ethics and morality, constantly impacting Sakura Haruno's values.

When she saw the enormous number of Fourth Raikage clone embryos in the incubation chamber, and the bodies being continuously removed from it, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Senior Hiruko, since you are also a Konoha ninja, why are you doing such a thing?"

Sakura Haruno's face was pale, her stomach churning, and she looked at the Fourth Raikage clone embryos, which were the size of babies and were being fed nutrients by the machine, and asked in a trembling voice.

Sakura Haruno grew up in a family with both parents and was raised in a sheltered environment.

The greatest darkness she had ever witnessed in her life was nothing more than a replay of Sasuke Uchiha's defection and Orochimaru's terrorist attack.

In Class 7, she was the only one who wasn't an orphan; she was just a girl from an ordinary family.

Her father was just an ordinary ninja, not even a Jonin.

The mother was a talkative housewife.

So apart from some of her personality being influenced by the environment of the ninja world, her personality is closer to that of an ordinary modern girl.

She did not experience the tragedy of her entire family dying suddenly, nor did she experience the gossip and pointing fingers of the whole village, a traditional custom in Konoha, nor did she suffer village-wide violence that was even more disgusting than school bullying, nor did she ever completely lose someone precious to her.

At this stage, she is nothing more than a love-struck fool, deeply infatuated with Uchiha Sasuke's stunning good looks.

As for being forcibly detained by Hiruko, she didn't feel too much resentment, after all, Hiruko's looks were definitely no less than Sasuke's.

Sakura Haruno may have once felt a trace of maternal pity and sympathy for Sasuke Uchiha.

However, she was ultimately unable to truly understand Sasuke's inner pain and feel deep sympathy for him like her teammates Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake.

Although she studied medical ninjutsu under Tsunade, these human experiments that violated human ethics were something she had never encountered before.

Of course, Tsunade had already encountered these dark sides due to her own experiences.

Sakura Haruno, however, has always lived in the sunlight and is an innocent and pure girl. This is the first time she has witnessed the cruel, crazy, and even trial-filled and violent side of this world.

My values ​​were constantly being challenged, and I felt as if I were in the middle of a crazy vortex.

"Why can't we do it?" Hiruko asked in surprise.

"Also, why can't people from Konoha do this kind of thing? I remember you met Orochimaru, right? Isn't Orochimaru also a Konoha ninja?"

"Of course!"

Chapter 166 They'll take him back to play duo queue.

"Isn't this kind of thing commonplace in Konoha?"

Moreover, the human experiments secretly conducted in Konoha are dozens or hundreds of times more cruel than what I am doing now.

Because their theoretical knowledge was insufficient, they could only resort to even more inhumane methods, constantly sacrificing countless lives to obtain genuine experimental results.

"You don't naively believe that Konoha, the strongest village in the ninja world, is an ideal country without any dark side, do you?"

Every word Hiruko uttered was like a heavy hammer blow, making Sakura Haruno's face grow even paler.

But she couldn't help but retort defiantly, "Orochimaru was expelled from Konoha because he conducted evil human experiments!"

"hehe."

Hiruko scoffed, "Alright, let's leave aside Orochimaru for now, who's been kicked out of Konoha..."

"Let's talk about the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju."

The evil human experiments he spearheaded are the true seeds of evil.

He not only dissected the brains of Uchiha clan members, but also experimented on Uchiha clan children, attempting to explore the entire process of the Uchiha clan awakening their Sharingan.

He judged the Uchiha clan as evil, even toying with the souls of the dead.

He also developed the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

It can be said that most of Orochimaru's current human experimentation results are based on the Second Hokage's work, with adjustments and improvements, before forming his own style.

As Hiruko spoke, he meticulously and interestingly poured Konoha's dark history, system, and even the dark scenes that had emerged in Konoha's past, present, and future into Sakura Haruno's mind.

Sakura Haruno's eyes were lifeless, her legs went weak, and she knelt on the ground.

Hiruko's words clearly shocked her greatly; it was as if she was seeing the true and cruel side of the event for the first time.

For Sakura Haruno, an ordinary person whose values ​​have not yet been significantly impacted, such a truth is far beyond her capacity to bear.

Naruto and Sasuke, who were also in Team 7 and had been battered and bruised by the world but were still living strong lives, did not doubt Hiruko's words.

After all, Hiruko had no reason to deceive them, and Hiruko came from another world.

He was once a high-ranking official in Konoha and had an extremely good relationship with Tsunade, so good that Tsunade entrusted her life to him.

She still hasn't fully mastered the Hundred Healings Technique that her master Tsunade taught her, but in this world, Hiruko has already guided her to almost condense her own Yin Seal.

This world is real, but the real world is by no means pure, good, or beautiful.

Hiruko gently patted Sakura Haruno's shoulder, then softly wiped her face and said, "All you can do is keep breaking your own fixed mindset, refreshing your understanding, and gaining a deeper understanding of the true nature of this world."

If you hate this world, then keep accumulating power and use your own methods to push this world, full of conflicting interests, in the direction you desire.

After saying that, Hiruko ignored Haruno Sakura, whose eyes were lifeless, and continued to do her experiments as she pleased.

Then Hiruko thought that if he ruined Sakura Haruno, he could just find another one.

If I remember correctly, the Hinata sisters were already quite well-developed at this time, making them rather like two nice toys.

If Tsunade were here right now, she would be pleasantly surprised to find a familiar face emerging from a certain culture tank—it was the face of her deceased younger brother, Nawaki.

However, if she looks closely, she might discover even more familiar faces.

Besides Nawaki, the cultivation tank also contains her grandfather Hashirama Senju, her grandmother Mito Uzumaki, her grandfather's younger brother Tobirama Senju, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and his first wife Biwako, and the Uchiha Fugaku couple, among others.

"Since we're going to play, let's go big," Hiruko thought to himself.

On the Tianchi Bridge, Orochimaru's subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi, had been secretly keeping an eye on things as instructed by Orochimaru.

Ten days ago, several important figures from Sunagakure and Konoha disappeared at the same time, leaving behind a dense forest at the site of their battle.

These unusual signs drew the attention of Orochimaru, who was extremely sensitive to Wood Release, and Danzo, a high-ranking official in Konoha.

Konoha takes this very seriously, given the traces of Wood Release being used at the scene, and the missing Sakura Haruno is a student of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade.

However, Konoha was unable to investigate at the moment.

On the other hand, Orochimaru, knowing that an important figure would be meeting at the Tenchi Bridge today, decided to try his luck out of curiosity, since his subordinate Kabuto Yakushi had a lot of information.

Although Konoha had no clue about the matter, out of consideration for the Wood Release incident, they still habitually pinned the blame on Orochimaru.

After all, Orochimaru successfully defected more than a decade ago, and no one knows what new achievements he has made in recent years.

Therefore, Konoha began to go all out to collect information related to Orochimaru from all over the country.

This time, Danzo not only didn't hold back, but also used his former subordinates who had colluded with Orochimaru to join forces with Root and Anbu to investigate, and finally found Orochimaru's whereabouts.

Instead of making a rash move that might alert Orochimaru, Konoha decided to secretly monitor his actions in order to gather more information.

Orochimaru was aware of Konoha's actions, but he was confident in his strength and didn't take Konoha's surveillance seriously, thinking that the other side was just a mayfly trying to shake a tree and couldn't cause any trouble.

Of course, Orochimaru was very cunning. He pretended to be unaware and deliberately revealed some information, such as his meeting with a mysterious person today, which attracted a large number of Konoha's pursuers.

Besides the ninjas of Konoha, Orochimaru was also secretly followed by the puppets he had summoned using his immature Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Although Orochimaru was very confident in himself, he also knew that these pursuers were not so easy to deal with.

He had previously observed the place where those people disappeared, and the power of Wood Release there far exceeded that of the flawed First Hokage he had summoned back then.

This discovery both surprised and delighted Orochimaru.

The opponent was able to subdue Gaara and Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure in an instant; their strength was definitely beyond what he, now without arms, could handle.

For Orochimaru, this meeting at the Tenchi Bridge was fraught with uncertainty due to real-world factors.

On the one hand, the group he belonged to was not a monolithic entity, and there were many conflicts and entanglements of interests among its members.

On the other hand, the Akatsuki organization has been relentlessly pursuing him, constantly threatening his safety.

Therefore, this meeting at the Tenchi Bridge will inevitably lead to many situations that Orochimaru cannot control.

Logically speaking, given his current poor condition and the possibility of encountering a terrifying opponent at any time, he should remain calm and cautious, and it would be best to abandon this rendezvous and pretend that nothing had happened.

However, this is not Orochimaru's style of doing things.

His deep-seated curiosity drove him to want to find out more.

He not only longed to know the whole truth, but also planned to use some cannon fodder to disrupt the situation, allowing him to maneuver freely.

In his view, regardless of whether anyone came to the appointment today, Danzo's Root ninjas were perfect sacrifices.

Meanwhile, three thousand kilometers above the ground, an airship with optical stealth capabilities was slowly flying from the direction of Loulan to directly above the Tiandi Bridge.

The numerous ninjas on the ground remained oblivious to this, each harboring their own thoughts as they lay in wait.

Inside the airship, Hiruko was enjoying an iced cola and ice cream, and then savoring a freshly made watermelon dessert.

Occasionally, he would answer Sakura Haruno's questions according to his mood. Of course, it was also common for him to tease her a little, such as patting her butt a few times.

Sakura, who came with Hiruko, was very well-behaved. She served him tea and water and often asked Hiruko for help with things she didn't understand, showing that she was diligent and eager to learn.

Hiruko's trip was exactly like that of a rich young master sitting in first class, traveling with his maid.

Not everyone came with Hiruko; Sasori chose to stay at the Sun Furnace of the Dragon Vein to continue his research, seemingly because he disagreed with Orochimaru's ideas.

Even after coming to this world, he didn't have a major conflict with Orochimaru like Sasori did in this world, but he still disliked Orochimaru very much.

"Hiruko-senpai, we've reached the airspace above the Tenchi Bridge. Aren't we going to land?" Sakura Haruno asked Hiruko with a mix of nervousness and anticipation as she looked at the high-definition image on the screen.

The airship's aerial photography, along with the mechanical birds released by Hiruko, was able to clearly capture various situations on the ground.

Even people lurking underground can be clearly detected by infrared devices.

Sakura saw Kabuto's hateful face on the screen and realized that she and Hiruko had already reached the sky.

Because Hiruko has a close relationship with Tsunade from another world, even though Hiruko's actions constantly challenge her values.
