Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

The Uchiha's power was born to protect, and their fundamental purpose in changing the world was to enable the living to live better lives and prevent tragedies from repeating themselves.

To want to kill someone you care about with your own hands and sever the last bond is putting the cart before the horse.

Sasuke, who now has a happy family, does not agree with the idea in the ending of Shippuden that his future self would want to sever all bonds with his own hands, but he does agree with his future self's determination to insist on change.

In his view, the so-called unity of the Allied Shinobi Forces is nothing more than being forced by one powerful enemy after another, and ultimately having no choice but to stick together for warmth.

This peace cannot last long; one day, the major powers will once again be at odds.

Therefore, to completely reshape the ninja world order, Sasuke must either become the world's manager, a Damocles' sword hanging over everyone's heads, maintaining peace with absolute deterrence.

Isn't this the ultimate form of arrogance?

It was a kind of fanaticism rooted in absolute power, attempting to build an absolutely safe utopia with the power of a single race.

Since the era of Madara Uchiha, the Uchiha clan has been trapped in the quagmire of "with great power comes great responsibility."

Those Uchiha elites who considered themselves the pillars of the theory were all like they were possessed, trying to shoulder the fate of all the weak by themselves.

In their eyes, the weak should be like infants in swaddling clothes, sleeping peacefully under the wings of the Uchiha.

Indulging in that false haven of tenderness, they drift through life in a daze.

This is the perfect life they've planned for the weak.

Hashirama Senju and Naruto Uzumaki, these two guys who firmly believe that love can solve all problems, always put on an appearance of being content with what they have.

But have they ever considered that once they die, everything will vanish like a dream?

If it collapses instantly, the world will return to the cruel order of the survival of the fittest.

Instead of pinning our hopes on that illusory love, we should be down-to-earth, nurture the next generation, and rebuild our strength.

In Sasuke's view, their idea was ridiculously naive, leaving the choice of fate to the unknown.

This is clearly a high-stakes gamble. If you win, everyone will be happy; if you lose, you will be doomed!

And figures like Orochimaru and Hiruko provided him with a great deal of inspiration.

They were obsessed with all sorts of crazy experiments, trying to extend human lifespan by modifying physical properties.

Regardless of the fragility of flesh and blood or the ascension of machinery, in Sasuke's eyes, as long as one is willing to put in the effort, there is always a glimmer of hope.

At worst, I can transform myself into a cold, artificial satellite, hovering high above the world, looking down on all living beings from a God-like perspective.

In another room.

"Mikoto, are you really not going to reconsider?" Minato Namikaze stretched lazily, trying to persuade his friend's wife in the most sincere tone in front of his friend's child.

His eyes were full of concern, as if to say that returning to Konoha was the best choice.

"Minato, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."

Mikoto Uchiha's gaze was firm, and her tone was resolute.

"I will not go back to Konoha with you, and I will not interfere with any of Sasuke's choices."

No matter what path he ultimately takes, he will always be my proud son.

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable power.

"Minato, you are also a father, so you should be able to understand how we, as parents, feel."

We just want to stand unconditionally in front of our child, sheltering him from the wind and rain.

"But what about Itachi?" Minato frowned, his eyes filled with worry.

He admired this outstanding junior, and even felt a pang of shame.

He felt that if he hadn't died young, he wouldn't have placed all the burdens on the young children.

Moreover, his own disciples Kakashi and Obito were among the key behind-the-scenes forces that caused Sasuke's tragic life.

Thinking of this, Minato felt as if he had been struck hard by a hammer, and self-reproach overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.

If he had recognized Obito that night and guided him onto the right path in time, would everything have been different?

Obito's unreasonable anger led him to still blame himself for everything after reading the relevant manga.

He felt that as Hokage, he had failed to protect the village and had failed to properly address the issues of those who died in the war.

As a teacher, I failed to protect my students.

Despite being the fastest ninja in the world, he could never reach the person he wanted to save in time.

As a husband, he failed to protect his wife.

As a father, he failed to fulfill his responsibilities and left all the problems to his children.

In conclusion, although Minato felt that he had always been straightforward, he was proud and honored to see Naruto's achievements after his resurrection, but he was also deeply frustrated.

However, after a brief sigh, his gaze hardened again.

Given the chance, he is determined to make up for all the regrets and let those shattered dreams shine again!

"That night, when Itachi stood at the crossroads of fate, I resolutely stood on his side, without even having a chance to say a proper goodbye to Sasuke."

"At that time, my husband and I disregarded the advice of many clansmen and chose to give up resistance, completely ruining the future of the Uchiha clan."

"Fugaku, he was truly an incompetent clan leader, selfish and incompetent."

Mikoto Uchiha lowered her head in anguish and murmured, "Being by Lord Hiruko's side now is a kind of punishment for me."

Therefore, this time, I will still stand on Sasuke's side. He will be the hope for the Uchiha clan's rebirth.

Mikoto Uchiha is the only woman who silently endured Hiruko's torment. Perhaps she was atoning for her sins, and enduring pain was simply what she had to do.

At this moment, Mikoto Uchiha was completely unaware that her son Sasuke had already begun plotting how to destroy the world and then rebuild a new world from the ashes.

And Sasuke really does have that ability.

But how can the conflict between Sasuke and Itachi be resolved if things continue like this?

Minato Namikaze was deeply worried about the two Uchiha brothers; he really didn't want to see the tragedy of brothers killing each other.

"Although Sasuke is a kind child, he has a soft side deep down, and he will not really hurt Itachi."

Therefore, in my opinion, the conflict between the brothers was nothing more than a quarrel.

Mikoto Uchiha sighed, thinking that the others were worrying unnecessarily.

As a mother, she saw through her son Sasuke's proud yet soft-hearted nature early on, but what could she do in the face of this complicated situation?

"Sasuke was terribly betrayed by villains and has been carrying a heavy burden that is not his own."

The current situation is truly worrying.

However, given Sasuke's abilities, he should be able to handle things like changing bodies or being resurrected after death.

After all, Hiruko seems to really like my body. Maybe if I beg him, Sasuke can be resurrected.

Mikoto Uchiha was clearly uncertain, her words filled with worry and expectation.

"That child keeps saying things like 'Don't think you can escape just because you're dead.' She wouldn't actually kill Itachi and then revive him, would she?" Mikoto Uchiha planned to serve Hiruko wholeheartedly, and then...

Putting aside the trivial matters in the laboratory, Hiruko arrived at the ruins on the left side of Mount Sumeru.

Mount Sumeru, a name that sounds quite Buddhist, is home to giant salt pillars resembling a forest of pagodas, as well as all sorts of strange and wonderful creatures.

Moreover, there are traces of human religious architecture here, such as the distinctive brickwork, stone blocks, and the mythical beast reliefs on the steps and gates.

Or perhaps it's the various strange architectural styles that seem to suggest that a once-thriving temple once existed.

Judging from the architectural style, it resembles both Buddhist ruins and feels like a Muslim building, making it difficult to determine which religious group this place once belonged to.

Now, a white-haired man is freely wandering through this desolate ruin; this man is none other than Beiruhu.

No matter how many times he visited this place, Hiruko could not help but marvel at the wonders of nature and admire the wisdom and ability of the ancients.

They were able to discover the unique features of this place and build a mysterious location that took full advantage of its terrain.

He carefully examined everything before him, his mind filled with thought.

However, it is unknown what kind of accident occurred during the long passage of time, which caused the entire Mount Sumeru to be completely abandoned.

Like the ancient Loulan Kingdom in this world, it gradually disappeared into the long river of history as time went by, leaving behind no fascinating legacy.

Dragon veins are the manifestation of a planet's life force and consciousness.

Because of his long-term exposure to and use of infrared energy, Hiruko's entire body has long been imbued with the chakra of the millennia-old dragon vein.

This makes him extremely sensitive to the flow of earth vein energy, and he can even combine it with the power of his own body to actively perceive and draw on a portion of the earth's power without the need for any rituals.

"What a wonderful place," Hiruko murmured to himself, as he found himself inside the pentagram array he had meticulously constructed.

Now, only the annular solar eclipse remains; once the time is right, the final ceremony can begin.

"Heaven" refers to the annular solar eclipse, a natural phenomenon that is completely different from the real world in the Naruto world.

"Earth" refers to the technique of integrating Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the "Earth" here refers to the special geographical environment of Mount Sumeru.

"Human" refers to the person who is about to be absorbed by the Ghost Sprout Technique and is awaiting the transformation ritual, which is himself.

At a precise time in this world, when the moon obscures the sun and shines with golden light, it is quite different from an ordinary solar eclipse.

At this time, the sunlight contains a very special power.

When the "light of disaster" of the annular solar eclipse descends, those chosen as sacrifices are bathed in its radiance.

It will then become part of Hiruko, be completely absorbed, and cause the Lost One to undergo a special transformation, thus leaping into an immortal ultimate life form.

There are several possible explanations for the annular solar eclipse phenomenon in the theatrical version.

First, Asuma was already dead. Second, when Naruto used Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, Kakashi was able to use Kamui, while Sasuke was still in the hospital at that time.

According to the timeline of the main storyline, Kakuzu had already died by the time he was chosen as the sacrifice.

Wood Release, Kurama Clan, Sharingan, Dust Release—these four bloodline techniques have been completely absorbed by Hiruko.

The Sharingan is a clone of Sasuke Uchiha's genes.

Because of Hiruko's extremely powerful Yin Release, he immediately activated the Mangekyou Sharingan.

However, Hiruko's mysterious and unpredictable eye technique is like a key, closely connected to the supreme power he has always dreamed of.

"Travel the world!"

Hiruko's eyes flashed with a blazing and crazed light; this was no small-scale skirmish within the confines of the ninja world.
