Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Kisame Hoshigaki, a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, is the current owner of the greatsword Samehada.

He has a shark-like face, is skilled in water-style ninjutsu, and can launch attacks in conjunction with Samehada.

In the eyes of those ninjas who still follow tradition and earnestly rely on hand seals to release ninjutsu, he was undoubtedly an anomaly.

Before becoming a member of the second generation of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he was a subordinate of Suigetsu Hozuki.

For a long time, he served as the mid-term duty executor for the village's missions, and even carried a hidden mission.

In cases where there is no way to salvage the situation, kill your comrades who are on the same mission to prevent them from falling into enemy intelligence and leaking important information.

If someone can resurrect the dead with impunity, what is the point of their life of carrying out missions with trepidation, even at the cost of killing their comrades?

Although he had long been drawn to and deeply agreed with Madara Uchiha's "Eye of the Moon" plan, and joined the Akatsuki organization without hesitation, no longer a ninja of Kirigakure,

But when he learned that someone could resurrect the dead, his feelings became complicated.

"Those ninjas from the five great nations who had long since died have been miraculously resurrected." White Zetsu earnestly reported the information he had observed to Uchiha Itachi.

“Sasuke Uchiha revealed that it was Hiruko’s doing. I have observed it carefully, and no matter how you look at it, those resurrected people are definitely living people, not Orochimaru’s Impure World Reincarnation technique,” ​​the White Zetsu, whose body was half black and half white, said seriously.

The poor artificial White Zetsu has become one of the most commonly used experimental materials in Hiruko's hands.

Indeed, such vibrant human beings are rare, and even among clones, individuals as vibrant as White Zetsu are extremely rare.

The artificial white zealots of today are the most common experimental subjects in Hiruko's hands, their status equivalent to that of white mice raised in modern laboratories.

Just as a bird cannot remember how much bread it has eaten, Hiruko can no longer remember how many White Zetsu it has consumed.

White Zetsu is the purest experimental subject for him, and he's extremely useful!

Most importantly, it wouldn't violate human ethics or affect Hiruko's mental state; Hiruko loved these experimental subjects.

In Hiruko's laboratory, Orochimaru, just like Hiruko, was abusing White Zetsu every day.

"But what exactly is the price for reviving the dead?" Itachi Uchiha asked, frowning.

Jue shook his head and said helplessly, "I don't know. I haven't even found out what Beiruhu looks like yet, so how would I know what the price of resurrecting the dead would be?"

However, Black Zetsu did remember Hiruko. He felt that the matter of resurrecting the dead could be exploited, as there was a great deal of room for manipulation within it.

Moreover, Obito has never been entirely honest and seems to have his own ideas.

If Obito could activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, then it wouldn't matter, but I always feel that Obito is not very reliable, and his professional skills may not be up to par.

"We need to find another way to obtain intelligence; we can't put all our eggs in one basket with Obito Uchiha," Black Zetsu thought to himself.

Uchiha Itachi's expression was solemn: "The organization's goal has always been the Tailed Beasts. Hiruko's unbridled resurrection of the dead, especially Jinchuriki, undoubtedly increases the difficulty for the organization to capture the Tailed Beasts."

Has the leader taken no action at all?

“Uh…” Bai Jue shook his head.

Itachi Uchiha's expression turned solemn as he pondered to himself.

Logically speaking, Hiruko's resurrection of the dead should have been a good thing for the Akatsuki, as it would have provided them with more resources to utilize.

However, Itachi Uchiha harbored a deep concern that the cunning Hiruko might have designs on the person he had resurrected, potentially causing even greater losses to Konoha and the entire ninja world.

Moreover, Sasuke's constant association with such dangerous individuals made Itachi Uchiha uneasy.

Moreover, his own health is deteriorating rapidly, and he doesn't have much time left; he can only live for another year or two at most.

He must find a strong person to test Hiruko as soon as possible, and then deal with Sasuke's future troubles according to the situation.

After all, it is still uncertain whether Hiruko can perfectly resurrect the dead.

"Lord Pain is busy devising a plan to capture the Tailed Beasts and has no intention of targeting Hiruko for the time being."

Jue shook his head and continued, "Moreover, I haven't been able to find any personal information about Hiruko, so even if I wanted to target him, I wouldn't know where to start."

Itachi Uchiha frowned, his expression remaining unchanged, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

It seems that Konoha has also grasped the location of this base. Should they relocate it?

He diligently and responsibly relayed messages to Itachi and Kisame.

“No, I’ll wait for them here,” Itachi Uchiha said calmly.

"It's just what I need—someone to test the truth of this matter. And my foolish younger brother certainly won't miss this opportunity; he won't let anyone else steal his prey."

I want to see just how much he's grown up now.

“In that case, Itachi-san, I’ll go with you.” Kisame revealed his gleaming shark fangs and said gently to Itachi.

To be honest, in Kisame's opinion, his feelings for Itachi Uchiha had long transcended the boundaries of ordinary friendship; the two could definitely be considered sworn brothers.

Despite Kisame having never had any companions in his life due to the special missions he carried out in the first half of his life, and being assigned by Madara to monitor Itachi.

But by now, his respect for Itachi is ingrained in his very bones, making it absolutely impossible for him to betray Itachi.

The first level of the Solar Furnace Tower was packed with people.

Hiruko stood in the center and loudly proclaimed to the ninjas he had captured and resurrected: "From today onwards, you are free."

Chapter 178: Departure of All Parties, Turmoil in the Ninja World

"As long as you don't interfere with me, I won't impose any restrictions on you. So, go ahead and make up for your regrets from your previous lives." With that, Hiruko vanished in an instant.

At this moment, he is only one piece away from becoming an immortal, ultimate being.

The evolved form of the Byakugan, the Tenseigan.

It's time to release those he imprisoned in the Solar Furnace Tower.

After all, as more and more people were resurrected, they became increasingly restless.

Instead of keeping them locked up all day and exhausting ourselves, it would be better to release them all and let them wreak havoc on the world.

In this way, he can remain behind the scenes and control everything with peace of mind.

This is not his final destination, so he doesn't care at all what chaos the ninja world will become in the future.

At worst, we can just pack up and leave.

During this period, Hiruko resurrected quite a few dead people, such as Gaara, the Sound Five under Orochimaru's command, Hozuki Suigetsu's brother Hozuki Mangetsu, as well as the super-fast Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Shisui.

Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, Uzumaki Mito, Hinata Hizashi, Garura, Zabuza, Haku, Hayakura, Metkai, and Matt Dai.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Beiluhu was powerful and planned to let them leave when the time was right, the Solar Furnace Tower would have been turned upside down by these guys long ago.

"Finally, we can leave this place!" Kushina Uzumaki excitedly grabbed Minato Namikaze and ran outside.

"Hurry up, Minato! I can't wait to see Naruto!"

Minato Namikaze did not move immediately. He looked at his wife gently and said, "Kushina, calm down."

We need to figure out Beiliuhu's intentions first, and there might even be a hidden threat here.

Seeing his wife's unhappy expression, Minato Namikaze broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "Oh, Kushina, Sasuke used to frequently switch between the flying devices stored by Hiruko, which had extremely high mobility."

"If we got some kind of flying device like Sasuke, wouldn't we be able to see Naruto much faster?"

The resurrected Minato Namikaze is nothing like his impatient wife.

He first carefully observed the specific situation of the solar furnace tower and calmly analyzed the situation, which made everyone's lives much safer.

Moreover, as an old acquaintance of his, Beiliuhu was naturally willing to give him this face.

Afterwards, Minato Namikaze carefully read the manga "Naruto," which tells the story of his son's growth, and got all the information in hand.

With Hiruko's consent, he was able to bring out a large number of comics from the Solar Furnace Tower.

With his natural affability and his shared identity as a resurrected dead, Minato Namikaze got along very well with the resurrected people and quickly became the backbone of most of them.

Upon hearing this, everyone sprang into action.

They learned that some of the aircraft in Biluhu's possession could fly at supersonic speeds, which was much faster than traveling on foot.

"Yeah, Minato mentioned it before, how come I didn't think of that!" someone exclaimed, their eyes lighting up.

"As expected, Waterman is quick-witted!"

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha, who had always thought that he had severed ties with Sasuke and Naruto, was in a state of great inner turmoil.

He certainly couldn't just let these people connected to Konoha go to see Konoha; otherwise, it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—gone and never to return.

Moreover, Hiruko's plan to resurrect the dead is still underway, and who knows what changes may occur in the future...

Sasuke was well aware of the enormous potential of technology, so he naturally couldn't simply give these advanced flying machines to Minato Namikaze to bring back to Konoha and enhance his strength.

However, Naruto's situation, along with his mother Mikoto's promise to provide some assistance during missions, put him in a dilemma.

At this point, some people were preparing to leave the Solar Furnace Tower, while others were unwilling to leave.

For example, Mrs. Mikoto prefers the place where her son lives to Konoha as her home.

There's also Granny Chiyo, who only wants to watch her grandson grow up.

Yekura, who was betrayed by her own country, could not find a place to belong even after being resurrected. Now, Hiruko has taken her in, and her counterpart from another world is also with Hiruko. After some thought, she decides to stay by Hiruko's side and find meaning in life.

Haku and Zabuza, wanting to live on with those they care about, chose the Solar Furnace Tower as their final refuge and planned to settle there.

Not everyone yearns for the so-called peaceful places outside; they prefer to stay in this tranquil place.

Hiruko was busy cleaning in the laboratory, putting some instruments and special culture tanks into a scroll and miniaturizing them into small spheres.

Then put them into the corresponding boxes, and finally use a large scroll to gather all the items together.

"Sakura, you haven't left yet? I've already made it clear that you're free." Hiruko said as she packed up.

To be honest, he's gotten a bit bored with what he's been doing these past few days and is planning to change things up. He's going to the Land of Fire to capture a big Hinata and play with her, as well as Hyuga Hanabi, his sister-in-law.

"Senior Hiruko, are you planning to leave this world?"

Sakura Haruno, who had a beautiful diamond-shaped mark on her forehead, hesitated for a moment before asking the question.

During this time, Hiruko had trained her extensively, which had a great impact on her. It was understandable that she felt a little reluctant to part with this man, since Hiruko had almost tamed her.

"You should stay a little longer, and then you should go back to your original world."

"This is not my home after all, but I will take you with me when the time comes. If your parents are willing, I will also take them with me."

"I'm going out for a while, leaving Loulan for a long journey. I can give you a ride on the way," said Beiliuhu.

Sakura's lips parted slightly, but she hesitated, unable to express her true feelings.
