Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

I guess they'll go over there and play a game of "you regret it, I'll play my shadow."

Hiruko glanced at the ANBU members on the ground, frowned slightly, and then slowly said, "I understand."

He wondered to himself what the three generations of old men wanted from him at this moment.

Compared to Danzo, who was foolish, rich, and easily deceived, he found Hiruzen Sarutobi, a cunning old fox who always liked to use empty promises to get him to work for free, much more troublesome.

As a scientist dedicated to scientific research, Hiruko naturally hopes that his funds will continue to flow in to support his various experiments.

However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a notoriously stingy guy who always hijacked the funds Danzo gave to Hiruko and appropriated the results for himself.

Lord Danzo, although short-sighted, extreme, stubborn, and whimsical, was also extremely careless in his work and often betrayed his benefactors.

If Hiruko hadn't possessed absolute power, he probably would have already used the Tongue Trap to kill him, but Lord Danzo was truly willing to spend the money.

The Shimura family was really unlucky; they didn't benefit much from following him, and all of their ninjas and funds were sacrificed by Root.

Fortunately, Danzo was able to meet most of Hiruko's demands.

Hiruko was always able to swindle enough funds, test subjects, and the necessary secret techniques and information from him.

In fact, most of the sealing techniques and spell seal knowledge that Hiruko now possesses were provided to him by Danzo as payment.

Sarutobi, on the other hand, was completely different.

He appears kind and approachable, treats people with gentleness and politeness, has a long-term vision, and is a decent person who would never betray someone after using them.

However, he had a problem that gave Hiruko a lot of trouble—he liked to steal.

This reminded Hiruko of his experience in a laboratory in his previous life.

Back then, his boss would always talk to him about ideals and ambitions, but never about salary.

As a result, he only earned five or six thousand yuan a month, and eventually died from exhaustion in the lab.

Sarutobi was the same way, often brainwashing Hiruko, advocating the Will of Fire, and urging him to sacrifice himself for the glory of Konoha.

When it came to actual compensation, he wouldn't give a single penny, only offering verbal praise.

The village's planning and funding allocations are always meticulously calculated and very restrictive.

For those Konoha ninjas who were born and raised in the Will of Fire, this might be acceptable.

But Hiruko was someone who died from screwing in screws in the lab in his previous life, so how could he easily accept this kind of thing?

After the two left, a dark secret room was located a thousand meters below the secret base.

A huge glass jar stood in the center of the room, filled with a murky green liquid, with bubbles rising slowly and making a soft "gurgling" sound.

A red-haired woman struggled to open her eyes, glanced at the little boy in the jar before her, and fell back into the illusion, the sorrow in her eyes lingering for a long time.

Chapter 3 Ninja in the Secret Room (AVI)

On the other side, Hiruko was somewhat suspicious, but still followed Danzo into the Hokage Building.

Upon entering the Hokage's office, Hiruko discovered that not only he and Lord Danzo were there, but also the two elderly advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Not only was Orochimaru present, but Jiraiya and his apprentice Minato Namikaze were also there, and even Tsunade was there.

Besides, the heads and elites of various clans such as Hyuga, Uchiha, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka looked around and found that there were quite a few people in the Hokage Building.

"Hiruko, it's been a long time." Orochimaru stared at Hiruko with his cold, serpentine gaze, sending a chill down Hiruko's spine.

Both of them were research ninjas, and they knew each other too well. Orochimaru's gaze was definitely that of someone who wanted to dissect him.

Hiruko nodded and smiled, "Orochimaru, how's your research going lately?"

Orochimaru responded casually, "Not bad."

The two of them started chatting as if no one else was around.

Jiraiya, being the most outgoing guy, patted Hiruko on the shoulder in a very casual manner, put his arm around Hiruko's neck, and laughed, "Hiruko, long time no see! You're still the same."

Hiruko replied in a calm tone, "Very good. With the village's support, we've taken another step closer to the truth!"

I can't connect with someone as talented as Jiraiya at all.

Although the two had become known as a lecherous duo, Hiruko had no interest in Jiraiya and found himself more in sync with Orochimaru, who enjoyed dissecting people.

Orochimaru, with a hoarse voice and his snake-like tongue lolling out, looked at Hiruko with a smile and asked, "Have you successfully developed your latest Life No. 1?"

Hiruko nodded and said, "It failed, but it's a great improvement for genin. Now we're just waiting for mass production."

"By then, the strength of Konoha's genin should see a qualitative leap. Although there might be some side effects, I believe everyone will not mind that."

Speaking of research, Hiruko couldn't help but recall his past research on interstitial cells.

That was a project spearheaded by the Third Hokage and Danzo, and overseen by Orochimaru.

At that time, Hiruko was just a newbie who had only participated in some of the experiments.

During that period, countless volunteers from the Senju clan sacrificed their lives, yet the success rate was zero.

Seeing no hope, the Third Hokage decided to seal off the research and forbid everyone from continuing the experiment, as he did not want to cause any more meaningless sacrifices.

However, once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be closed again.

While the Third Hokage was able to stop in time, Danzo, the "King of the Pot," would not, nor would Orochimaru, the Third Hokage's disciple, cease his research.

This outsider, Beiruhu, would certainly not let go of this opportunity for advancement.

You know, Hashirama cells are a key to immortality, how could Hiruko possibly miss out on them?

Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he smiled and said, "It's still too difficult for ordinary people to acquire the qualifications to become a ninja, but the byproduct should be pretty good."

"Your approach is very smart; instead of forcing yourself to use Wood Release, you focused on strengthening the body's fundamentals."

Orochimaru's meaning was very clear: Hiruko's actions had temporarily allowed the Third Hokage, that good-natured man, to open a back door.

"Moreover, your test subjects have a significantly lower failure rate than mine, so it seems you cherish your test subjects very much."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his mind started to work. Since the body could be strengthened through Hashirama's cells, how far away could the strengthening of Wood Release be?

It's only a matter of time before this Wood Release power is applied to the human body.

Orochimaru couldn't wait to have a good chat with Hiruko after the meeting.

The power of the First Hokage, even if it were just to simply enhance an ordinary person, would be extremely tempting.

At this time, he was unaware that one of the lucky ones from the Wood Release experiments was still alive and had been secretly hidden by Danzo. He was now almost ten years old.

Hiruko waved his hand and said to Orochimaru, "I will give you a copy of the experimental data after the experiment is over."

Orochimaru nodded, then asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Hiruko chuckled and said, "If you're so inclined, help me capture a few more female ninjas."

No one present reacted after hearing this.

Hiruko, this ninja, is good in every way, except that he is too lecherous, and in a very blatant way.

Unlike Jiraiya, who was a herbivorous lecher, Hiruko actually ate meat.

People are used to this.

My favorite game is Ninja in the Secret Room AVI.

Scorching Release: Pakura is still in Hiruko's villa. Hiruko arranged for Danzo to bring it back for her, and it is also Hiruko's favorite trophy.

After hearing Hiruko's words, Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

Both Hiruko and Jiraiya pursued her.

Hiruko is the one who directly replaced Hiruko's existence by inhabiting his body and devouring his otherworldly counterpart, which is why he is much more handsome than Jiraiya.

With his handsome appearance, he directly overshadowed Jiraiya.

Tsunade initially had a good impression of Hiruko, feeling that he pursued the truth and had a somewhat unruly charm, and was more willing to follow his heart than Jiraiya.

However, when she learned that Hiruko's dream was to have a huge harem, Tsunade immediately chose to back down.

After all, she is the princess of Konoha; how could she tolerate such a frivolous person?

But Hiruko wasn't in a hurry. He was thinking that it wouldn't be too late to seduce Tsunade after he developed the Wood Release potion.

Tsunade, you don't want your Wood Release bloodline limit to flow to other clans, do you?

As for Kato's break?

That was no big deal at all, because the plot to seize the Senju princess had already been dealt with by Danzo, Hiruko's benefactor.

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and teased in a hoarse voice, "Hiruko, you're still as generous as ever."

He was clearly quite satisfied with this old classmate.

With Hiruko's experimental data, he could completely create Life No. 1, a kind of enhancer, to train his own people, and even go further.

Danzo, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly plotting something.

"Hmph!" These guys are all birds of a feather.

Tsunade clenched her fists in annoyance, glaring at Hiruko with veins bulging on her face, as if she were about to punch him in the chest to show him the power of her little fists.

Tsunade knew perfectly well what the two of them were discussing. They were talking about experiments related to her grandfather Hashirama's cells right in front of her, which made her furious.

I want to raise my fist and beat this guy to death. He was pursuing me back then, but he ended up dissecting my own grandfather!

Chapter 4 Tsunade

Although the experiment had been authorized by her grandmother, Tsunade's eyes involuntarily dimmed when she thought of her familiar clansmen who had died.

"I'm very sorry, Tsunade, it was my fault," Hiruko apologized earnestly.

He didn't really care about the matter, but adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, he didn't want to provoke Tsunade.

After all, he still lusted after Tsunade's body and couldn't forget those big lamps.

At this moment, inside the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage made it clear that he wanted to discuss serious matters, so everyone was somewhat restrained. Tsunade couldn't possibly start a fight and cripple Hiruko.

The Third Hokage suddenly stepped forward and said, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business. The main reason we're all here is to determine the candidate for the Fourth Hokage."

As soon as the third generation finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell silent.

He took a deep breath and continued, "I'm getting older and older, and I feel increasingly powerless."
