Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"Differences in physiological structure are not insurmountable barriers. With the help of the transformative power of chakra, many problems can be easily solved."

Hiruko smiled confidently. "The principles and organs involved in the Eight Gates, such as the brain, heart, spine, and other key areas through which chakra flows, are universally present in humans."

Therefore, as long as the world setting is not too outlandish, humans from different worlds and different species can naturally construct a chakra meridian system that is roughly similar to that of humans in the ninja world after mastering chakra.

Of course, there will be subtle differences, but opening all eight gates is still not impossible for them.

"As for the time cost, that's not a problem either."

A sly glint flashed in Hiruko's eyes. "We can easily add an 'open-door teaching' service, providing tiered services based on students' ability to pay."

Just like the Nen training in "Hunter x Hunter," you can choose a formal path, pass the test, and receive guidance from professional hunters to steadily develop Nen on your own step by step.

You can also take the unorthodox approach, paying someone to force you to start chanting. As for whether you live or die, that depends entirely on your luck and destiny.

The same principle applies to opening the eight gates; we can forcefully open whichever gate you want to open.

As for whether you can withstand the side effects, that depends on how much money you're willing to spend.

"Pay more, and we'll give you more chakra to sustain you a little longer."

“In daily cultivation, as long as the body is unharmed and has been opened enough times, opening the seven gates before the Gate of Death will be easy once the body adapts, and the price to be paid will not be unbearable.”

Hiruko continued to speak eloquently, "The power of the Eight Gates is ultimately based on the physical qualities of the body itself."

Just like Might Guy opening the Eight Gates, he could only kick a few of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to death.

Might Guy, having opened the Eight Gates, was able to kick even a god-like figure like Madara Uchiha in a sorry state.

Although it wouldn't kill, it was enough to prove its astonishing destructive power.

Therefore, chakra cubes that can enhance physical strength, and chakra pills that can revitalize life force and increase lifespan, will inevitably become coveted treasures for those 'short-lived ghosts' who practice the Eight Gates and whose lifespans are in danger.

This is yet another great opportunity to fleece investors.

"Of course, I have deeper considerations when researching these things."

Hiruko suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming serious, "That is to draw inspiration and create a more universal method of immortal cultivation."

Sakura, your body has been modified by my bodily fluids, so practicing immortal arts and absorbing natural energy shouldn't be too difficult for you. This can be considered as you stepping onto a new stage of evolution.

But what if you went to a world without natural energy?

What will you do then?

Therefore, my idea is simple: given that we can only rely on the physical body, we should delve deeply into the potential of the human body itself and develop a method that can transform all kinds of foreign energy into our own power.

Hiruko spoke calmly, as if everything was under his control.

Thanks to his research on the Divine Tree and the system, he can now generate a large amount of chakra simply by basking in the sun, and even, like Kanna in "Miss Dragon Maid," he can successfully replenish his energy by finding a power outlet to charge himself.

Such methods are truly breathtaking.

As long as it's not some strange, dangerous cosmic ray, but just ordinary electromagnetic radiation, it's a piece of cake for Hiruko; he can easily convert and absorb it into his body.

In this way, even if he accidentally enters a modern world where there is no trace of natural energy, he can quickly find supplies and restore his strength.

At this moment, on that picturesque beach in the Land of Water, a Hiruko is lying comfortably, enjoying a warm sunbath.

The reason for using "one" is that Hiruko, this ultimate being, actually split himself into many clones, each managing both serious matters and leisure, each busy yet at ease.

Besides this "salted fish" clone who leisurely spends his days on the beach, there are countless other clones of Hiruko simultaneously carrying out different activities around the world.

One of Kaguya's clones is keeping Kaguya company on the moon, playing and having fun with her, and spending joyful times together.

One of his clones appears in Konoha, where he studies taijutsu with Sakura Haruno and explores higher realms of martial arts.

One of her clones, disguised as Otsutsuki Toneri, patiently and meticulously taught Hanabi, imparting knowledge and skills to her.

One of his clones played happily with Xiao Nan in the Land of Rain, while also teaching her the ways of talisman cultivation and guiding her onto the path of cultivation.

One of the original beings is playing a blush-inducing and heart-pounding game with a certain priestess, enjoying a unique kind of fun.

One of his clones embarked on a journey to different sacred lands, dedicated to developing immortal techniques and perfecting the vast and profound system of immortal magic.

Another clone is busily packing, preparing to take Orochimaru, Sasori, and the others back to their original world...

These clones have no self-will; they are merely soul computer AIs constructed by Hiruko within his soul.

It will only execute Tetsuya Jingu's AI commands.

"Lord Hiruko, when will you take me to see another world?"

Just then, a woman dressed in a pure white bikini swimsuit and white high-heeled sandals walked gracefully over, carrying two glasses of iced drinks.

Her alluring gait made her stunning figure even more eye-catching.

"It will be soon. Now that we have incorporated you, we will not let you eat for free and do no work."

Hiruko responded lazily, then opened his mouth, waiting for Mei Terumi to bring the straw to his lips. He gently bit down and enjoyed the coolness of the iced drink.

Hiruko has never slacked off in her research on Zero-Tails, Dark Chakra, the power of faith, the power of the mind, and the power of emotional transformation.

Now, he is able to keenly perceive and collect the negative emotions of those around him, such as fear, anger, and jealousy.

However, this power is extremely unstable. If it is not converted into chakra and absorbed in time, once it accumulates to a sufficient amount, it is very likely to pollute the human spirit and even undergo mutation, combining with the surrounding things to give birth to some kind of terrifying monster.

Hiruko naturally wouldn't simply swallow these negative emotions whole.

He would usually feed these emotions to his test subjects, or first convert them into chakra, then let the monsters devour them, and after the monsters filtered and purified them, he would absorb them himself.

However, Hiruko discovered that all sorts of negative emotions were mixed together, like a tangled mess of threads, making them extremely difficult to study.

Therefore, based on his own understanding and classification, he categorized these negative emotions and then conducted in-depth and detailed research on different categories.

In the realm of chakra, which transforms negative emotions, the most common and "abundant" emotions are hatred, fear, and anger.

The chakra derived from these negative emotions is like a unique attribute imprint, retaining the distinct characteristics of the original emotions.

They act like cunning catalysts, more easily stirring up human emotions and reigniting these negative feelings.

Hiruko, the ultimate being with an endless desire to explore power, naturally wouldn't overlook the potential value of these chakras. Through his careful development, each type of chakra displayed unique and wonderful uses.

Take the rage attribute chakra as an example. After Hiruko's seemingly simple yet ingenious development and utilization, when it is applied to oneself, it can create an exhilarating effect similar to berserk mode.

This power burned like a raging fire, plunging both body and mind into a state of high excitement and activity, greatly enhancing the strength of the entire body, as if infinite potential had been instantly unleashed.

However, Hiruko's journey in exploring negative emotion chakra was not without its challenges.

The power of laziness was like a fog, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

He racked his brains, and the only use he could think of was to use the chakra of the Sloth attribute to himself when conducting scientific research.

In this way, he can constantly absorb any laziness he might experience, preventing himself from falling into a state of lethargy, and like a wound-up machine, he can diligently devote himself to his research.

However, Hiruko couldn't come up with any new ideas on how to develop the effects of this Sloth chakra when applied to himself.

He tried various methods, but without exception, all the experimental subjects injected with the Sloth chakra turned into salted fish, lying there lazily and motionless, as if time had lost its meaning for them.

With a "let's give it a try" attitude, Hiruko also gave himself a set of lazy habits.

As a result, he also fell victim to it, becoming lazy and unmotivated. Apart from automatically synthesizing chakra by sunbathing, he just lay in bed sleeping, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

Soon, this experience of laziness came to an end.

Although he didn't come up with anything new, Hiruko unexpectedly fell in love with the simple and pure joy of sunbathing.

Chapter 269 Mei Terumi Wants to Get Married

He even created a separate body specifically for sunbathing, enjoying the tranquility and comfort that belongs to lazy people.

Do you want to get married?

Hiru took a couple of sips of the chilled, Sprite-flavored lemon sparkling drink, and then casually remarked as if he were mentioning something utterly ordinary.

*Snap!* Mei Terumi seemed to react unusually strongly to the word "marriage," and she could barely hold her drink cup.

Fortunately, the cup fell onto Hiruko's chest and onto the beach. Luckily, it didn't shatter; only the liquid spilled out, leaving a cool, unexpectedly refreshing taste.

She paused for a moment, then a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, as if she was both looking forward to and apprehensive about the upcoming wedding.

"Get married."

Mei Terumi's brown curly hair swayed slightly, and her originally beautiful face now showed a gloomy expression. Her facial features even showed a strange collapse, making it a hilarious and bizarre scene of exaggerated facial expressions.

Despite possessing a stunningly beautiful face, she is now distorted by the word "marriage," simply because she missed the best time to get married and became an older single woman. She is extremely sensitive to this word, and mentioning marriage in front of her is undoubtedly taboo.

The reason for this is that Obito controlled Yagura to implement the Blood Mist policy, and Zabuza was ruthless enough to kill almost all of his peers, causing the Hidden Mist Village to suffer a loss of talent.

For Terumi, finding a normal, good man of her own age in the village has become a pipe dream.

The remaining people in the village were either old hags like Ao, who had long passed their prime, or people like Chojuro, who had given Terumi Mei a taste of what it was like to be a loving old mother, so they could no longer stir any ripples in her heart.

"It's just getting married, what's there to envy? People often say that marriage is the grave of love~" Hiruko said lazily while lying on the beach, completely unable to understand the thought process of Terumi Mei, a woman who was desperate to get married at an older age.

Speaking of single women, Tsunade in this world is even older than him, in her fifties or sixties, and she's still unmarried, but she doesn't seem to be worried or upset about it.

In the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Mei Terumi's dream is actually just to have a wedding of her own, a dream so simple it's almost unbelievable.

"Lord Beiruhu, may I ask you a favor?"

Mei Terumi suddenly lifted the curly hair covering her right eye, revealing a mysterious smile on her face. She spoke in an incredibly mature, dignified, and gentle voice, which seemed to drip with water and carried a hint of coquetry.

"Marriage is out of the question!" Hiruko's eyelids twitched, and he refused without hesitation.

He knew perfectly well what Miyuki was up to; those two words, "please," were most likely related to marriage.

"Ugh, really! Don't reject me so quickly, I haven't even said it yet!"

Mei Terumi said with a hint of complaint, her tone tinged with helplessness and resentment, "Tsk! It seems that good men have really disappeared these days."

She's attracted to good looks; while not a complete fangirl, she still prefers strong men who are handsome and not easily swayed by her charm.

It just so happens that Beiliuhu has a mysterious background, strong strength, extensive knowledge, and handsome appearance. Moreover, he is only in his thirties, not much older than her, who is thirty-one years old. He is a perfect match in all aspects.

Aside from his habitual womanizing and promiscuity, and his slightly perverse sense of humor, he is almost an impeccable, high-quality man.

Moreover, a woman desperate to get married is trying to seduce a handsome man to find a partner, while a scumbag neither rejects nor takes the initiative. Between these two, sparks fly, and they've already done everything they could.

We're all adults, so it's perfectly normal for each of us to take what we need.

But Mei Terumi still harbored a sliver of hope that she and Hiruko could take their relationship to the next level, even if it was just a wedding in name only, it would still offer some solace to her heart that yearned for love.

"Yakamasi!"

Hiruko tilted his head, his nonchalant expression suggesting he had no interest in the topic, and said matter-of-factly, "You've seen Boruto, haven't you? Do you really think ninjas are happy after marriage? It's full of chaos and trouble; marriage certainly caused them a lot of problems."
