Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Ryubei Sonozaki responded expressionlessly. There was still a glimmer of hope for cooperation; at least they could obtain T2 data.

If he continues to be ungrateful, the foundation of the Yuusaki family may be easily swallowed up by this young man with the help of Saeko and the power of eternity, and they will even lose their autonomy.

"It's a pleasure to work with you~" Hiruko gripped Sonozaki Ryubei's hand tightly, a smug smile spreading across his face.

……

Within Foundation B, besides the two female scientists recruited by Hiruko, there are several other outstanding scientists from other worlds. Like brilliant stars, they gather together, radiating the light of wisdom.

"Hiruko, you are as vile as ever." Orochimaru watched the entire process of Hiruko "bullying" the old man, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Me, mean? There's no one more loving than me!" Hiruko lazily sprawled on the sofa, rolling his eyes. He believed this was technical support for the Ensaki family, not bullying.

"Heh~ Your skin is still as thick as ever." Scorpion sneered. He always assumed the worst about Hiruko, believing that Hiruko was taking advantage of information asymmetry to bully people again, and he knew this all too well.

"The means don't matter as long as the goal is achieved," Tobirama Senju said expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a firm resolve.

"Lord Hiruko, please." Gari paid no attention to the conversation of the others. She opened a can of drink and handed it to Hiruko with a gentle smile on her face.

"Thanks, Gali. You've been in this world for a while now, what have you gained?" Hiruko asked lazily as he took the drink, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

While the Naruto world boasts numerous advanced technologies, its technological development is distorted.

I believe that in this unique world, they can all find inspiration, like a beacon in the darkness.

"not bad."

Orochimaru said with a smile, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "I have drawn inspiration from Gaia Memory technology and am trying to improve the cursed seal. I even plan to imprint my mark on the inside of planets, becoming the memory and even the controller of each planet."

"so so."

Scorpion said coldly, his eyes revealing a calmness, "I have drawn on the Gaia Memory, improved the chakra core, and developed various bloodline limit memories."

I can even create personalized character memories from the collected cells. For example, the versatile Hashirama cells have been made into a Hashirama memory, not a Wood Release memory.

I can transform into Hashirama form, just like Orb the Debt King.

Of course, compatibility and chakra quantity determine the strength after transformation.

My biggest gain was not the memory itself, but the systematic learning of modern science, as well as mechanics and artificial intelligence.

I have made significant progress in 3D printing technology, greatly improving accuracy and taking it a step further than when I was in the Land of Rain.

Now, I can easily create and wirelessly control a large number of magically equipped mechanical dolls of various shapes and sizes, as if fast-forwarding from W to 01.

"good."

Tobirama Senju said calmly, his eyes revealing a profound depth, "I mainly studied the interaction between Gaia memory and the human body, and found that memory can promote learning and understanding profound mysteries."

Through the Ocean Memory and Zone Memory, I gained a deeper understanding of space-time ninjutsu and water-style ninjutsu, which naturally led me to develop new ninjutsu that are even closer to the essence of the world.

Furthermore, I couldn't resist researching the evil Uchiha (Uchiha Madara clones), and discovered that the memory toxins were harmful to the human body, but after repeated purification, they had a miraculous effect on the Uchiha bloodline, allowing them to easily awaken the Sharingan.

Furthermore, I began researching the effects of memory-based toxins on the human mind, discovering that combining them with tree fruits and Uchiha blood could yield a special medicine beneficial to the mind.

"You're all being modest." Hiruko lay on the sofa, glancing sideways at the three cunning old foxes, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery.

"Take good care of confidentiality. If your research data is leaked, it will bring huge disasters to this world and even other parallel worlds," Hiruko casually instructed, his tone revealing a seriousness.

Foundation X possesses considerable technological capabilities, with numerous top scientists within its ranks, enabling it to decipher most of the data on monsters and conduct independent research and development.

Furthermore, it has intricate connections with the Shocker organization, making it a trans-global organization.

Hiruko has always wanted to annex Group X, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen the symbolic name Group B. However, at this stage, he is still mainly testing and lying in wait.

Chapter 356 Gambling and Risking One's Life

"You're still so cautious." Orochimaru shook his head with a smile, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "However, the fact that you brought the First Hokage into this world is truly beyond my expectations."

Hiruko appears cautious, but acts recklessly, even bringing the resurrected First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, into this world. Is this truly the act of a cautious person?

Orochimaru felt a headache coming on just thinking about the First Hokage's carefree personality.

"What can we do? The Second Hokage has been resurrected, we can't just keep not resurrecting the First Hokage, can we? Tsunade and Lady Mito have hinted at it to me many times."

Hiruko said with a troubled look in his eyes, "Besides, if I don't revive the First Generation, the Second Generation will revive his brother himself. I might as well take action first."

To resurrect the entire Senju family and reunite them, Hiruko simply resurrected the entire Senju family, including Tsunade's parents and several of Hashirama's younger brothers who died young during the Sengoku period.

As for anything beyond that, resurrection wasn't considered, as the appearance of Hashirama Senju's father would be detrimental to Konoha's unity.

"As the younger brother of the First Hokage, I want to revive my elder brother. Do you have a problem with that?" Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and glanced at Hiruko, his eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Not at all. It's just that the resurrection technology you've been researching in private is still immature. I think it's better if I do it."

Hiruko said innocently, his eyes revealing sincerity, "I just think Tobirama Senju is a bit unreliable. What if he creates some kind of epic boss when he's resurrected? It's safer for me to handle it myself. We have to be cautious with Hashirama Senju, after all, he's Tsunade's relative."

"Hmph!" Tobirama Senju's face darkened upon hearing this. This kid was looking down on his technical skills!

"As for why I brought the First Hokage to this world, it was a helpless decision on my part," Hiru sighed, a look of worry in his eyes. "The prosperous Konoha we see today is actually sucking the blood of the entire ninja world. The First Hokage may not be able to accept the current Konoha."

“You underestimate your elder brother.” Tobirama Senju glanced at Hiruko and said calmly, his eyes revealing a firmness. “For Konoha, he was willing to abandon his innocence and even fall into darkness.”

His philosophy is about inheritance; he would be content to see the new generation of Konoha thrive.

Even if he were resurrected, he would believe that his era had passed and would not interfere with the younger generation.

Furthermore, do you really think he knows nothing about Konoha after his resurrection?

Whether it's Tobirama Senju or Hashirama Senju, after their resurrection, they will continue to protect Konoha and re-examine the new era of Konoha in their own way.

With their capabilities, gathering intelligence would not be difficult.

"Is that so? It seems I underestimated the First Hokage's love for Konoha."

However, even if the First Hokage could accept the current state of Konoha, he wouldn't be in a very good mood.

Moreover, since his resurrection, he has been constantly chanting the name of Uchiha Madara, seemingly wanting to return to the Pure Land to find Madara.

Therefore, I think the best option is to take the First Generation to travel to other worlds and divert their attention.

Hiruko said nonchalantly, as he was focused on evolution, immortality, and the myriad worlds, and paid little attention to Hashirama Senju's thoughts.

"By the way, where did the First Hokage go? I haven't seen him these past two days," Hiruko asked casually, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

“Lord Hashirama… has been frequenting various casinos in Fuuto lately,” Galie said honestly after a moment’s hesitation.

The entire area was covered with surveillance equipment, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to, and besides, she didn't have a deep relationship with Hashirama Senju.

"A casino?!" Tobirama Senju's expression immediately changed, his eyes revealing anger.

"Yes, according to incomplete statistics, Lord Hashirama has lost over 100 million yen. That number is like an out-of-control flood, and it is still rising." Gari frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "At this moment, Lord Hashirama is probably resting comfortably in some small shop, enjoying a moment of peace."

Where did he get so much money?

Upon hearing this, Hiruko's eyes widened in disbelief. While several hundred million yen might not be an astronomical figure for Conglomerate B, he remembered that he hadn't approved that much funding for Hashirama's activities.

"That idiot brother!" Tobirama Senju's face instantly broke down. He had just been praising Hashirama without reservation, but now he was filled with helplessness.

"Lord Hashirama has taken a portion of Lord Tobirama's research funds," Gari quickly replied, while also playing a video clip.

In the scene, Hashirama Senju confidently takes Tobirama's money and swaggers into the casino.

"Ah, I knew it." Tobirama Senju sighed helplessly, as if he had long been used to Hashirama's pranks on his brother and did not react excessively.

"Oh, it's Tobirama's research funding. Oh well, that's alright then." Seeing this, Hiruko lazily lay back down and muttered to himself, "Luckily, I didn't bring Tsunade with me."

Although he was the one who built up Foundation B and allocated the research funds, in the end, Hashirama was still spending his money. However, at this moment, he felt that it didn't seem to matter anymore.

In his view, the more ruthless Hashirama was in squandering money, the more justified he could be in exploiting Tobirama, since Tobirama would be the one to suffer the consequences in the end.

If it were Tsunade who squandered the money, then he would have to shoulder everything alone.

Although he was used to it, in the ninja world he could at least build a casino specifically for Tsunade so she could have fun, but in this world he hadn't gotten involved in the gambling industry yet.

"Should we freeze Lord Hashirama's eligibility to withdraw funds?" Galie asked, tilting her head and blinking her eyes.

"We must freeze it, otherwise, given my brother's complete lack of understanding of money, if this continues, he'll probably squander all the money I have for repairing the experimental facilities in a while," Tobirama Senju said seriously.

Research funding doesn't come easily; every penny is hard-earned.

Of course, Hiruko would not skimp on his share, but if his elder brother lost too much money, the funds allocated to him would definitely decrease over time.

……

“Million Colosseo? A heavenly dream casino? It sounds intriguing.” Hashirama Senju sat on the soft sofa, listening to Wakana Madoka’s radio program, gently stroking his chin as he spoke thoughtfully.

He had few hobbies in his life, did not get involved in romantic affairs, could drink but never drank excessively, and his favorite pastime in his spare time was gambling.

At that moment, the casino mentioned on the radio instantly piqued his interest.

"But where exactly is Million Colosseo? The address wasn't mentioned at all in the broadcast." Hashirama Senju scratched his head, a troubled expression on his face.

Although he possesses extremely strong perception abilities, and can maintain a certain level of perception even towards creatures without chakra, this does not mean that he can directly obtain specific information like a cultivator's divine sense scan.

"Do we need to gather intelligence? This is such a hassle~" Hashirama Senju muttered, his face full of reluctance.

He had long been accustomed to the convenience of modern electronic devices and instinctively loathed the most primitive espionage work of traditional ninjas.

He also knew that Tobirama and the others wouldn't tell him the specific details about the casino on their own; he would have to investigate using ninja methods.

Moreover, the investigation must be conducted discreetly, and it is impossible to directly use large-scale wood clones or shadow clone techniques, otherwise the impact on modern human society would be too great, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

"How about we hire a detective?" Hashirama Senju's eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped his forehead, a happy smile spreading across his face, and then made his decision.

Laziness is a human instinct, and he was no exception.

Since arriving in this world, he hasn't met many people, but Hiruko seems to be particularly interested in two young detectives, and he does know the approximate address of Narumi's office.

……

"Is this the place? Narumi Detective Agency. I've heard that Narumi Shokichi is a reliable man, so his apprentice should be reliable too." Senju Hashirama stood in front of the Narumi Agency, looking up at the sign, and muttered to himself. Then he walked up and gently rang the doorbell.

Ding-dong~ The crisp sound of the bell echoed in the air, but after waiting for a while, there was no response.

"Huh, is nobody here?" Hashirama Senju scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face.

At that moment, a young man and a young woman walked up from behind.

"Hello, what can I do for you? I'm the head of this detective agency." Upon seeing someone at the door, Akiko Narumi immediately pushed Shotaro aside and came to greet them.

"Hey, Akiko!" Shotaro called out in dissatisfaction, he had no intention of acknowledging Akiko as the director.

"Let's go inside and talk." Shotaro pushed aside the troublesome Akiko and led Hashirama inside. He thought Akiko was very unprofessional; how could she make her client wait outside?

"Please have some." Shotaro pushed aside Akiko, who was causing trouble, again and poured Hashirama a cup of hot water.
