Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

“I have reviewed your medical records. This is not a major problem; it can actually be cured through spiritual practice.”

As Hiruko turned on the instrument, he explained, "Perhaps it is because the aliens planted the divine tree and forcibly extracted the planet's energy that the natural energy of the planet we are on has become extremely violent and difficult to control, which was originally gentle and easy to absorb."

Your body is unique; it can passively absorb the surrounding natural energy, but it cannot withstand such violent energy. That's why your mind has become violent, generating bloodlust.

Chapter 175 Overflowing with Bromance

"Therefore, as long as you master the magic arts, learn how to manipulate and utilize natural energy, or add a valve to your body that automatically absorbs natural energy, you can stop this uncontrolled energy absorption," Hiruko patiently explained the treatment plan.

As Jugo listened, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, as if he could already see the dawn of liberation from the torment of his illness.

Sasuke, standing to the side, also fell into deep thought.

Perhaps this magical technique will also be helpful on his path of revenge in the future.

The connection between the body and natural energy no longer needs to be explained with naive words, so there is no need to worry too much about being misunderstood by others.

Although the principles governing Jugo's body are complex and difficult to understand, Hiruko's clear and logical explanation led him to accept her explanation.

According to Biluhu, fear often stems from the unknown.

Jugo feels confused and fearful precisely because he cannot clearly understand himself and the characteristics of his own power.

Jugo is a natural source of cursed seals, possessing the innate ability to absorb natural energy and the potential for Sage Mode.

Once in an environment with extremely strong natural energy, one will go berserk due to the inability to control oneself.

Jugo was once an important experimental subject of Orochimaru, who conducted in-depth research and modifications on him, making him an important carrier of the core cursed seal technology.

At the same time, Orochimaru improved the cursed seal, retaining its powerful strength while making it more suitable for his needs.

Those who are injected with the cursed seal and become Orochimaru will gradually develop a constitution that aligns with the cursed seal, and may become potential resurrection vessels for Orochimaru at any time.

Orochimaru's cursed seal technique and the Otsutsuki clan's Karma seal both possess the ability to modify other people's bodies and integrate them with one's own soul, and can seize the modified body to revive oneself at crucial moments.

However, in Boruto, no matter how many "Karma" seals were planted in the Otsutsuki clan before, once they enter the resurrection state, only one will remain.

In other words, this is to ensure spiritual unity and avoid a situation where multiple selves rebel against each other.

In comparison, the cursed seal is much more effective.

Orochimaru's method of reviving himself by using others as vessels is not a permanent solution. Compared to Orochimaru, who is difficult to kill by spreading his influence everywhere, the "Karma" of the Otsutsuki clan seems to be weaker.

However, apart from the Divine Tree and simple chakra-related technologies, the Otsutsuki clan's other details were quite crude, and their technology had not progressed at all for thousands of years.

All they knew was to plant trees, eat fruit, and constantly absorb energy from nature.

However, Hiruko was not very interested in Orochimaru's cursed seal technology. His original world had already developed similar technology, and its resurrection technology was even more advanced than Orochimaru's.

He was actually very interested in Jugo himself, because in the original world, Jugo was smaller in size and Hiruko did not conduct any experiments on him.

Jugo lives near Ryuchi Cave and is influenced by the natural energy there. He has a special constitution that allows him to passively absorb the surrounding natural energy.

Unlike the Otsutsuki Sage from outside the realm, Jugo was a human born from the native ninja world and possessed a special physique.

Even the Sage of Six Paths was able to come into contact with natural energy and eventually become a sage who mastered sage techniques only with the guidance of the toad sage of Mount Myōboku.

As for Jugo, this naturally born immortal body requires no special guidance.

The principle of "diffusion from high concentration to low concentration" mentioned in biology textbooks is perfectly embodied in Jugo.

He only needs to stand there, and the natural energy around him will flow into his body like a tide. He is a true child of nature and the darling of this planet.

If his talent were placed in the world of cultivation, he would definitely be a top-tier, supreme-grade celestial spiritual root.

Hiruko values ​​Jugo's special ability.

After entering the Cursed Seal state, Jugo can change the shape of his physical body and even adjust the arrangement of his cells.

This is similar to A in Prototype, who can transform his body into various weapons, such as energy claws and venomous hammer blades.

Animals can also do similar things.

If combined with Hiruko's Oni-Garashi technology and further developed, and with some cosplay, he might evolve into something even more terrifying overnight, becoming a true ultimate life form.

In addition to being able to freely change the arrangement of his own body cells, Jugo can also communicate with small animals.

Even more astonishingly, he possesses the ability to attract and expel cells.

Skilled in manipulating natural energy, he can perform a special ninjutsu that allows him to attract the flesh and cells of others and assimilate them, turning them into his own cells.

This allows the injured body to recover quickly, and the effect is simply amazing.

If this ability were even stronger, wouldn't it be possible to simply throw out a few cells, attach them to an enemy, and directly assimilate the enemy into one's own body, then consume them without any side effects to obtain more life energy?

The ability to devour people is perfect, but the upper limit of that ability is unknown.

Correspondingly, there is the cell's ability to eliminate waste.

He can distribute his cells, which contain special energy, to injured people, accelerating wound healing.

However, because this consumes a large number of cells, the user's body will turn into that of a child after using it, provided that the user has the power to adapt to the curse seal.

This can be considered a complementary skill that can only be used on familiars who are compatible with the curse seal.

If his bodily fluids are extracted to create a cursed seal and spread, making a large number of people bear the cursed seal, these people can be used as both resurrection tools and as provisions for the family.

Combined with his cellular abilities, one can't help but think of a perfect life form.

Hiruko found the final piece of the puzzle that would make the ninja world the ultimate life form.

Observing Jugo after anesthesia and collecting various experimental data, Hiruko's lips curled into a satisfied smile as he secretly considered the bodies of Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, and Jugo.

When the Konoha ninjas arrived at the distant battlefield, Gaara was already waiting there.

Naruto spotted Gaara standing in the center at a glance and rushed over to hug him excitedly.

Even the usually reserved Gaara excitedly patted Naruto on the back and said, "Thank goodness, Gaara, you're alright. That's really great."

Naruto kept stroking Gaara's face and chest to make sure it was all real before he finally felt at ease.

Gaara didn't mind Naruto's actions and instead responded very gently, "I'm sorry to have worried you."

"It's alright, I'm so glad you're alright!!"

Kakashi and Jiraiya were whispering to each other. Even with his Mangekyou Sharingan activated, Kakashi couldn't see anything wrong, and even his Sage Mode didn't help.

Jiraiya shook his head; at that moment, a sage sat on each of his shoulders.

Jiraiya already had the toad-like Sage mask on his face, but even in Sage Mode, he showed no other reaction. That person was Gaara.

The Akatsuki organization once posed a huge threat to the ninja world by collecting tailed beasts from various countries.

From then on, Konoha Village was on high alert and kept a close watch on Naruto's whereabouts.

Naruto originally had no chance to act recklessly, but in order to satisfy his desire to act recklessly again, Jiraiya still managed to secure the conditions for him.

Therefore, Jiraiya had to maintain constant communication with Naruto to ensure the safety of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

With a deafening roar, the sky suddenly exploded.

A streamlined airship with a blue chakra membrane burning on its surface roared through the fog, leaving a trail of blue light behind it, resembling exhaust fumes.

Jiraiya was startled; in Sage Mode, he hadn't sensed the enemy's presence beforehand.

He immediately became alert and shouted, "Everyone, step back!"

Naruto shielded Gaara behind him, and Gaara immediately raised his right hand high, causing the yellow sand to quickly gather, as if a loyal guard obeyed his command.

Unsure whether the other party was friend or foe, and with the situation unclear, Gaara could only manipulate the sand to form a solid shield to protect everyone, and did not launch an attack on the airship without authorization.

The airship hovered high in the sky, the hatch opened, and a spirited young man jumped directly from the sky.

Because the airship was so high above the ground, almost everyone except Hinata, who had the Byakugan, could only see a blurry black shadow jumping down.

"That's Sasuke!!!" Naruto Uzumaki shouted out this astonishing name based on his strong intuition.

Naruto excitedly pushed through the crowd and rushed forward.

"What?" Gaara was stunned to hear Sasuke's name. He was then worried about Naruto and chased after him.

At the same time, he gathered the Eye of Sand and looked up into the sky, trying to see the person's appearance clearly.

"Shadow Imitation Technique!" Shikamaru could only manage to suppress Naruto's momentum as he charged forward.

"There's no other way. The situation is unclear right now. It's too dangerous for you to rush towards a stranger who might have ill intentions!"

Shikamaru, annoyed by Naruto's grumbling, turned to Hinata and asked, "Are you sure who it is? Are there other people on the airship?"

"Hey, um... Naruto is right, the guy who fell was indeed Sasuke," Hinata stammered.

"See? I told you I wouldn't admit my mistake!" Naruto shouted.

"Calm down! Sasuke is with Orochimaru right now, and the situation is unclear. Don't rush in recklessly," Shikamaru said, covering his ears and looking somewhat troubled.

Just as everyone was talking, Sasuke, who had fallen into the air, crossed his arms, his chakra began to surge wildly on his body, and with a flick of his wrist, he released iron sand rich in chakra with a loud bang.

He then manipulated the iron sand to unfurl a pair of steel wings on his back.

In an instant, Sasuke glided toward the ground at an even faster speed, then straightened up and hovered high in the air, looking down at the Konoha people from above, and slowly said, "It's been a long time."

Although Naruto and Sasuke were suspended in the air, Sasuke's seemingly calm words were clearly heard by everyone on the ground.

Naruto, who had been arguing with Shikamaru, suddenly became excited, unleashing a torrent of chakra that broke through Shikamaru's obstruction, shouting, "Sagatsu!!! I've found you!"

"Looks like you're still the same as ever, no change at all, you loser!" As soon as Sasuke saw Naruto, he remembered his own ending in the manga where he lost his arm, and couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks to him.

Seeing Sasuke's condescending and disdainful look, Naruto was immediately enraged, and his previous good mood instantly turned sour.

He clenched his right fist and pointed it to the sky, cursing, "Sasuke, you bastard! Get down here right now! You think you're so great just because you can fly, you wretched guy!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone present became spectators, watching Sasuke and Naruto exchange insults like elementary school students.

Shikamaru, Kakashi, and Jiraiya were speechless and couldn't help but facepalm.

Kakashi quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, calm down, Naruto."

And Sasuke, you too, I'm sure you didn't come here to argue with Naruto.

Class 7, stop fooling around.

Sasuke Uchiha snorted and said, "I'm here to advise you to stop causing trouble for Orochimaru. Instead, you should protect that loser. Orochimaru and Kisame Hoshigaki are eyeing the Nine-Tails in this country."

After Kakashi interrupted the conversation, Naruto remembered that he needed to inform Konoha about the Akatsuki organization. His eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, "Sasuke, are you worried about me?"

He squinted his eyes happily, revealing a look of satisfaction.
