Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Now that Sasuke has left most of the country's political affairs to him, he is extremely busy.

Chapter 247 Do you want a child?

He had to work overtime every day, and all sorts of trivial matters gave him a headache.

"Lord Hiruko, now that you have mastered the art of Heavenly Delivery, may you fulfill your promise and resurrect me..." Mabui asked hesitantly, her voice filled with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation.

She didn't know if Hiruko would keep his promise, but she could only choose to believe.

After all, Sasuke Uchiha clearly harbored hostility towards Konoha, yet Hiruko still managed to revive a large number of Konoha's dead, which gave her a glimmer of hope.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

"But are you really sure you want to revive them now?" Hiruko turned around and said indifferently, a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

"You should know that with the Raikage's strong personality, he will inevitably be unable to resist Uchiha Sasuke."

But now that you've witnessed Sasuke's strength firsthand, you don't want to see the Raikage die again, do you?

Actually, even if Hiruko doesn't revive the dead of Kumogakure now, Sasuke will revive them in the future, since Sasuke is actually quite kind-hearted.

However, Mabui doesn't know this, so they can take advantage of the information gap.

"This... then what do you mean?" Mabuyi was unsure for a moment, her brows furrowed and her eyes filled with confusion.

Yes, even if the Raikage and Killer Bee were resurrected, they still couldn't defeat Sasuke Uchiha.

Now that the Land of Lightning has been destroyed, even if they were resurrected, where could the remnants of the Hidden Cloud Village go?

Must we continue to live a life of constant wandering?

"Have you ever thought about going to other worlds to establish new homes?" Hiruko asked with a smile, a smile that seemed to carry a mysterious allure.

"Other worlds?"

Mabui was taken aback at first, then remembered the identity of Hiruko, this visitor from another world, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and uncertain.

She had never imagined such a possibility. What would other worlds be like?

“I come from another world, and I will explore many more worlds in the future. I need help,” Hiruko said directly, her eyes revealing determination and confidence.

"And for ninjas, accepting missions and being hired is a very normal thing, isn't it?"

I don't need you to submit to me. I will simply hire you as employers to help me explore other worlds, and we can discuss the compensation later.

For example, providing a habitable other world, resurrecting someone, obtaining a certain secret technique, or a rare bloodline limit.

In short, I provide payment, and you work for me—it's a simple exchange of benefits, isn't it?

Even in the future, if you feel you have accumulated enough power, you can always apply to return to this world.

"How about it, think about it?"

“What you say makes a lot of sense and is very appealing. I am tempted, but I am just a secretary to the Raikage and cannot agree to your request on behalf of the Raikage and the deceased Cloud Ninja.”

Mabuyi spoke very calmly, her eyes showing a hint of attraction, but mostly reason and caution.

She was actually tempted, but as she said, everyone has the right to choose their own life, and she couldn't make decisions on her own.

"I believe that as the Raikage's brain, you will calm them down."

In time, I will resurrect the dead one by one, and I hope that they will make the right choice under your persuasion.

"You'll stay with me for now."

After speaking, Hiruko opened the cell and completely removed the shackles and chakra seal from Mabui's body.

Mabuyi felt a long-lost sense of freedom, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She knew that her fate might be greatly changed from this moment on.

After some time, when the battle situation has calmed down, Sasuke has an even grander plan—he will lead his team to attack the Land of Water.

If this attack on Kumogakure can successfully absorb its forces as a case study, then persuading Kirigakure ninjas like Mei Terumi to join the ranks might not be a problem.

After all, recruiting more cannon fodder would not only strengthen our own forces, but also allow us to test the previously planned cross-world mission platform, letting the forces of different worlds converge and collide here.

However, Kirigakure has been ruined by Obito, its former glory is gone, and it has almost no foundation left.

Apart from Mei Terumi, a female ninja with outstanding strength and leadership skills, almost all the other outstanding Kirigakure ninjas became rogue ninjas and scattered to various places, which is truly regrettable.

Meanwhile, in another mysterious hall, the atmosphere was heavy and solemn.

"I heard you want to see me?"

Hiruko sat high on her throne, her eyes scrutinizing the woman dressed in solemn priestess attire before her, secretly comparing her to the priestess Miroku.

Beside him stood Mabuyi, who was temporarily serving as his secretary. Mabuyi stood quietly with a steady gaze.

If we only consider spiritual perception, there is a significant difference between Shion and Miroku. However, it seems that there is some powerful seal that has suppressed Shion's deeper aura.

This concealed her immense hidden power, making it difficult for Hiruko to fully grasp her hidden strength even with the naked eye.

"Yes, I would like to ask you, sir, to deal with the demons and... to resurrect my mother, Maitreya."

Shion knelt opposite Hiruko, her purplish-gray eyes, which were somewhat similar to Hiruko's, fixed on him, her gaze filled with tension and anticipation, her voice trembling slightly yet resolute.

Whether it's a demon or not, she doesn't really care.

Since witnessing Sasuke Uchiha's terrifying, world-destroying power, she is no longer afraid of demons. She is more concerned about whether the rumored visitor from another world, Hiruko, can revive her mother.

"So what price are you willing to pay?" Hiruko asked casually, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I'm willing to give anything to revive my mother!" Upon hearing that Hiruko hadn't immediately refused, Shion became excited and even prostrated herself in a dogeza (a traditional Tibetan prostration form), her forehead pressed against the ground. "I'm willing to bear any cost, Lord Hiruko!"

"Including yourself?" Hiruko asked with interest, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

He was quite interested in the mysterious power that had been born in the native ninja world.

If he remembered correctly, the demon and the priestess were two sides of the same coin. No, it should be said that the demon was a monster formed from the filthy evil thoughts that the powerful first priestess had removed from her mixed power.

Because they originated from shrine maidens, they are naturally restrained by shrine maidens and are entangled with the descendants of shrine maidens in past lives.

However, the witches of later generations were not as good as the previous ones. Just like the descendants of Nuwa in the Legend of Sword and Fairy, they went from being powerful descendants of gods to the pinnacle of humanity, and then they had to exhaust their lives to seal a single demon.

However, Shion's generation shows some signs of atavism. Even in his childhood, his power was so great that, in his mother Miroku's view, if not used properly, it could cause a disaster even more terrifying than that of the demons.

In Hiruko's mind, the priestesses of the Land of Demons and the monsters were very similar to the yokai created from the impurities of human hearts, as well as gods and demons.

It is very similar to the monster setting in the general Japanese worldview, as well as the pantheon of gods that believe all things have spirits. In other words, the spirit can be considered an evil incarnation born from the gods. It can be a monster or a kind of god, although the gods in Japan are very cheap.

The shrine maidens are very much like the offspring of the gods born in the ninja world, especially given their unique physique and the nature of their power.

In the ninja world, faith and human emotions can generate power, although the setting is not obvious, it is a real phenomenon.

The darkness in people's hearts can breed ugly monsters, while people's faith and blessings can also produce strange effects.

For example, Princess Kaguya, who was blessed by the ancient ancestors of the ninja world and inexplicably gave birth to two sons who took away a large amount of her chakra.

Therefore, the power of faith in the ninja world is a very interesting hidden setting; in this world, love truly generates power.

Resentment and hatred, like a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, can also unleash a terrifyingly powerful force.

However, after being invaded by the chakra system like a tidal wave, most of them are manifested in the form of chakra, a special energy.

The secret technique of the Void Ninja, which influences people's hearts and absorbs their darkness to create the Zero-Tails, can be considered a remnant of this world's unique characteristics to some extent.

Despite being a world that has been colonized and invaded by aliens, it still profoundly influences countless descendants of aliens, even the first alien, Kaguya Otsutsuki, through the quiet flow of time.

The Nine-Tails, one of the Tailed Beasts, was initially just a pure chakra life form whose energy nature was closest to that of the Ten-Tails, like a pure and flawless blank sheet of paper.

However, as it aged, and was constantly impacted by the surging waves of hatred, fear, and other resentments of humanity, its chakra accumulated too much resentment, gradually becoming a collection of hatred in the eyes of the world, like a terrifying mountain built of resentment.

It also inexplicably gained the ability to perceive good and evil, and could keenly sense the good and evil in the hearts of the creatures around it.

"Yes, including myself!"

Ziyuan gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with determination. She was willing to do anything to see her mother's gentle smile again.

"I am a seeker of knowledge who enjoys research. I might do some very excessive things to your body, or even things that you find perverted and terrifying. Have you really thought it through?"

Ignoring the subtle look in Mabui's eyes behind him, Hiruko spoke frankly.

Countless research scenarios had already appeared in his mind. If he could thoroughly study Shion and Wangliang, and figure out the principle of how human faith and distractions are transformed into strange powers, could he then create interesting monsters and mass-produce gods at will?

Although the bizarre things he created could be considered monsters to some extent, he believed they still had a lot of room for improvement, like unpolished jade.

"Gurgle~"

Ziyuan swallowed hard, her cheeks flushed slightly as if she were thinking of something, and she seemed a little hesitant.

But looking at Hiruko's handsome face, it seemed as if an invisible force was attracting her. It seemed that she wasn't at a disadvantage. It would be even better if he weren't a pervert.

Soon, Shion took a deep breath, like a warrior who had mustered all her courage, and she made up her mind: "I've thought it through. I'll do whatever you ask, as long as Mother can be resurrected! I beg you, Lord Hiruko!"

"Alright, since that's the case, the contract is established. You're mine now. Go back and wait for news. I'll let you know when your mother is resurrected."

Hiruko nodded, looking Shion up and down, a mischievous idea brewing in his mind. A slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.

"Yes." Ziyuan suppressed her excitement and left with a joyful expression, her steps becoming lighter.

"Lord Hiruko, I remember you told me yesterday that if you want to resurrect the dead, you must have the deceased's DNA. The priestess Miroku died more than ten years ago, and her remains have not been recovered. Can you really resurrect her?"

Mabui frowned, her eyes filled with worry. She didn't want her future employer to be a greedy liar; otherwise, even if the ninjas of Kumogakure were resurrected, they would only be stepping into another hell.

"Of course, I wouldn't lie about that. I come from another world, and out of curiosity, I collected a genetic sample from the priestess Miroku in that world."

"Besides, I want to study the power of priestesses, so the more test subjects the better. From the very beginning, I've planned to study two generations of mothers and daughters." Hiruko said without any hesitation, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Are priestesses worthy of your attention? Apart from sealing away demons, they don't seem to have any other special talents," Mabui asked curiously, her eyes filled with doubt.

“Of course it’s worth it. Like Sage Mode, it’s a magical power that was deeply rooted in this land before chakra even existed.” Suddenly, Hiruko’s tone shifted, a hint of mockery in her eyes: “Do you want a child, Mabui?”

"What?" Mabuyi was stunned at first. Her originally calm eyes widened instantly, as if she had been greatly frightened. Then her pretty face turned red to her ears in a flash, like the burning sunset on the horizon.

She hurriedly took two steps back, instinctively raising her hands to protect herself, her voice trembling with anger: "Please stop your shameless verbal harassment of your subordinates! Although I respect you as my superior, I also have my own bottom line of dignity!"

Upon seeing this, Biruko quickly waved his hand, revealing an innocent yet sly smile: "No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I had no such frivolous intentions."

What I mean is, would you like to experience the process of Princess Kaguya giving birth to a child because of people's blessings?

The people's prayers and blessings are a wonderful power; they are like invisible yet powerful threads that wrap around all things in the world.

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, a being so powerful as to be almost invincible, could not escape the influence of this power.

Think about it, it's a convergence of the purest emotions from the depths of countless hearts, possessing an indescribable magic; it's real in this world!

As Hiruko spoke, there seemed to be a hint of intoxication in his eyes.
