Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

This mystery made Orochimaru drool, and his eyes gleamed with greed and desire.

Unfortunately, he was not compatible with the memory, just as Kato Jun was not destined for the power of eternity. Otherwise, Hiruko would have been generous in giving it to him. After all, Orochimaru was an experimental subject, and the result was no different. Like a failed product in an interstellar experiment, he could not bear a greater mission.

Faced with the memory that was upgrading slowly despite the massive amount of data being poured in, Hiruko frowned, his mind churning with thoughts like a cosmic storm.

He realized that simply piling up data was not only useless, but would also slow down the evolutionary process due to the redundancy of useless data, just like a spaceship being slowed down by redundant equipment.

“Conceptual memory, this is really tricky…” he muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with determination and resolve.

He realized that what memory needs is a biological understanding and creative development of concepts to generate entirely new data, just like the innovations and breakthroughs in interstellar civilizations.

"Quetzalcoatl, the god of agriculture and life, then let's integrate agricultural knowledge with Wood Release chakra. After all, Wood Release farming is incredibly efficient, like the highly efficient planting techniques in interstellar agriculture." Hiruko pondered in his heart, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

"The power of the sun god requires knowledge of nuclear physics, light radiation, wave-particle duality, solar wind, magnetic fields, gravity, black holes, and electromagnetic theory, just like exploring the mysterious forces in the universe."

"Death and rebirth, the techniques of reincarnation and Yin-Yang escape might come in handy, just like the cycle of life and regeneration in interstellar travel."

"The god of life, light and wisdom, the master of wind and sky, perhaps we can draw inspiration from Rayquaza and Ho-Oh's Pokédex entries. Useless data will be deleted later, just like the screening and refinement in interstellar exploration."

Unbeknownst to him, Hiruko was not only summarizing and analyzing Earth's data, but also incorporating his own knowledge and insights into it, much like an interstellar scientist merging his own wisdom with the universe.

The memory thus underwent a leap in evolution, its golden wings unfurling and a beam of light shooting straight into the sky, connecting with the data network deep within the Earth, frantically absorbing energy and information, much like an interstellar spaceship absorbing energy from the universe.

Boom! The golden memory's outer shell exploded, but it didn't shatter completely. Instead, it formed a special crystal that intertwined reality and illusion, like a mysterious substance in interstellar space.

Hiruko involuntarily reached out and touched it, and the crystal transformed into a torrent of emerald green data, surging into his body, as if to feed back all the concepts of the feathered serpent god within Earth to him, like the energy transfer during interstellar travel.

"This..." Hiruko was stunned at first, then felt a strange power coursing through his body, as if he could travel through the universe and be omnipotent, like a space warrior who had gained superpowers.

But the illusion was fleeting, and he quickly regained his senses, like a space traveler waking from a dream.

"The enhancement... failed?" Hiruko muttered to himself, carefully sensing his entire body, but found no increase in power, as if it were all an illusion, like a phantom scene in interstellar exploration.

Looking at the fragments of memory on the ground, he shook his head helplessly, like an interstellar explorer facing a failed experiment.

"It seems Orochimaru's idea is unreliable." Hiruko decided to give up and instead stick to the original plan to obtain the power of Xtreme with the help of Philip and Wakana, just like the Space Marines adjusting their strategy to find a new source of power.

He put away the genes, viruses, and eternal memories that were still slowly upgrading, temporarily losing the desire to continue strengthening them. After all, if all the strengthening failed, it would be a loss, just like risk aversion in interstellar investment.

……

The next day, Sonozaki Ryubei discovered that his treasured memory had vanished. He was filled with rage, as if his interstellar battleship had been hit by the enemy.

But he could only suppress his anger and pretend nothing had happened, just like a space commander who remained calm in a crisis.

After all, the sheer awfulness of the Eternal Force meant that even if he upgraded his memory to T2, he couldn't guarantee he could defeat it, as it could freely use the power of all its memories—like an unknown enemy in interstellar warfare.

"The plan must be accelerated." Sonozaki Ryubei stroked Mick and murmured to himself, his eyes shining with determination and resolve.

The Xtreme power is indispensable for propelling Wakana to become an Earth priestess and initiating the global Gaia Impact plan, much like a key energy source in interstellar civilizations.

Scientists within the museum organization have created a custom-designed Xtreme power for Wakana, much like interstellar engineers customize the energy core for a spaceship.

Hiruko has always misunderstood that Wakana obtained the power of Xtreme not by relying on Philip, but by exploring independently during interstellar travel.

The scientific couple, Sonozaki Ryuhei and Sonozaki Ayane, each developed the basic theory of Xtreme, waiting for the right time to apply it to Philip and Wakana respectively, much like interstellar scientists applying their research findings to different fields.

Furthermore, due to Philip's unique nature, he is already connected to the Earth Library. Over time, he will automatically become stronger and even unlock his ultimate form, just like an interstellar AI that evolves through continuous learning.

As for Sonozaki Ryubei's plan for Philip, it is to wait until Wakana awakens and Xtreme technology matures, then push her son back into the well and transform him into a super artificial intelligence that helps Wakana improve her computing power, serving as a buffer between Wakana and Earth, like an intelligent auxiliary system in interstellar civilization.

Because Earth's data is too massive, without a super artificial intelligence to buffer and assist in computation, a global Gaia impact would be nothing but a pipe dream. In fact, Ruocai might suffer a backlash, becoming an emotionless machine or brain dead, like a system crash during interstellar travel.

Therefore, Sonozaki Ryubei had always planned to sacrifice her youngest son, Madoka Raito, who had already died once, to make her second daughter, Madoka Wakana, successful, and to push the Madoka family to the top of the world, just like a power struggle in an interstellar family.

As for his eldest daughter, Saeko Sono, he had always ignored her, because from the very beginning, she was the one who was abandoned, like a spare part in interstellar travel.

“Father.” Wakana Madoka walked over, her voice like a gentle signal in interstellar communication.

"It's Wakana. What's wrong? Why didn't you host the radio program today?" Sonozaki Ryubei turned around with a kind smile, like a space commander showing concern for his subordinate.

"Father, I want to enter the organization's laboratory to learn the power of the Gaia Memory." Wakana hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, her eyes shining with determination and longing.

Sonozaki Ryubei looked at her daughter in surprise, never expecting that she had already made up her mind, like an interstellar explorer facing the unknown with courage.

"Are you having any difficulties at work?" he asked with concern, like a space commander inquiring about the battle situation of his subordinates.

"No, it's not about work. I just feel that as a member of the Madoka family, I must acquire more power and have a better understanding of the Gaia Memory." Wakana quickly made up a reason, her eyes flashing with wit and cunning.

"Hahaha~ Wakana, you've grown up too, I know."

"Just rest at home today. I'll personally take you to study tomorrow," Sonozaki Ryubei said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction.

He could tell that Wakana was lying, but the desire for power in her eyes was real, so he decided to take this opportunity to guide and nurture her, just like an interstellar mentor trains a future warrior.

As Wakana Madoka sipped her afternoon tea, she felt lost, like an interstellar traveler who had lost his way in the vast universe.

She learned of her father's plan from Hiruko, and vaguely sensed that her father's attitude towards her was completely different from that towards Saeko. However, Hiruko said that he was lying to her all along, which made her feel upset and confused, like interference and chaos in interstellar signals.

Therefore, she decided to enter the organization's internal laboratory to witness things firsthand, which was better than guessing, just like an interstellar explorer personally exploring an unknown planet.

"Good afternoon, Wakana~" Hiruko's sudden appearance startled Wakana, like a sudden encounter during interstellar travel.

"Tsk!" Wakana glared at him, then turned her head away, with the disdain of a Space Marine for an enemy.

"Hmm~ It tastes pretty good." Hiruko picked up a plate of cake and ate it in front of Wakana, like an interstellar gourmet tasting alien cuisine.

"What exactly do you want?" Wakana slammed her hand on the table and asked angrily, like a Space Marine questioning an enemy.

“My dear Princess Wakana, I would like to ask you for a favor.” Hiruko smiled ingratiatingly, like an interstellar merchant trying to sell goods to a nobleman.

"Hmph, get out of here! Still want to play with me? You're so strong, do you really think I'm stupid?" Wakana pouted, preparing to leave, like an intergalactic princess rejecting an impudent person.

"I really need your help this time, it's very important to me!" Hiruko grabbed Wakana's shoulder and said earnestly, like a Space Marine pleading with a teammate.

"It sounds so real, what's going on?" Wakana asked with a mixture of belief and doubt, like an interstellar explorer searching for a mysterious signal.

"Actually, I would like to ask you to help promote the latest animated work produced by Foundation B."

"After all, you are the renowned Princess Wakana of Fuuto, extremely popular, shining like a star in the galaxy." Hiruko said somewhat awkwardly, his eyes flickering with anticipation and unease.

"Huh? You're messing with me again? You bastard!" Wakana's eyes widened as if she wanted to devour Hiruko alive, like a Space Marine's rage towards an enemy.

"No, no, I absolutely didn't trick you, really, I need your help to promote this anime." Hiruko quickly shook his head, trying to appease Wakana, like a space envoy trying to quell an interstellar conflict.

"I'm really sorry, but I've already resigned from my job as a radio announcer, so I can't help you right now." Wakana Madoka crossed her arms and glanced sideways at Hiruko, looking helpless, like a star princess rejecting an unreasonable request.

"Ah, this..." Hiruko was taken aback, hesitant to speak, like an interstellar traveler facing a sudden obstacle.

"Could you help me shoot an advertisement for promotion?" Hiruko asked tentatively, like an interstellar merchant trying out a new sales method. "Or you can authorize me to shoot an advertisement in your likeness."

As she spoke, Hiruko's body began to reorganize, gradually transforming into Wakana's appearance, much like the magical transformation of an interstellar shapeshifter.

"What? You... pervert! Change back! Change back right now!" Wakana looked at her other self, her face turning red and then pale, and she suddenly became furious, shoving Hiruko, who had transformed into her likeness, like a Space Marine attacking an enemy.

That guy, Hiruko, must know his own body data inside and out to be able to become so lifelike, like a perfect copy of a target by an interstellar spy! "OK, OK, calm down, I'm back to normal."

After reverting to his original form, Hiruko raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. He never expected Wakana to react so strongly, just like an interstellar traveler's surprise at a sudden situation.

"I've granted your request, but you're not allowed to look like me again! Hey, did you hear me?!" Wakana said angrily.

Chapter 361 Conceptual Ability

She knew in her heart that if she didn't agree to Hiruko's request, this shameless and unscrupulous guy might actually use his strange and unpredictable ability to transform into her appearance to shoot commercials.

This scene is like an interstellar fraudster who, after locking onto a target, recklessly issues threats, completely disregarding the consequences and morality.

"I understand, thank you Princess Wakana for supporting Conglomerate B~" Hiruko's face was full of fawning smiles, looking exactly like an interstellar merchant who had just completed a lucrative deal.

As he spoke, he bowed slightly, adopting a respectful posture.

"What kind of anime are you trying to promote?" Wakana frowned, her eyes filled with wariness and doubt.

She had a strong feeling that Hiruko must have some ulterior motive. This feeling was like that of an interstellar explorer facing a mysterious ruin, filled with both curiosity and trepidation.

"I plan to release multiple long-running anime series in the same series at the same time, collectively known as Digimon." Hiruko said, carefully pulling a huge poster out of her pocket.

The poster is densely covered with all sorts of adorable Digimon, each with its own unique shape and vibrant colors, much like the strange and mysterious creatures in the Star Encyclopedia, making one want to explore them further.

"What's the purpose? At least let me know what benefit you get from me doing this."

Of course, it's fine if you don't want to tell me, but I don't want to hear any more lies.

Ruo Cai's face was expressionless, her eyes were cold and stern, and her tone was like that of an interstellar judge interrogating a suspect, not allowing the other party to hide anything.

"It's not something that can't be said. My main goal is to spread the concept of Digimon," Hiruko quickly explained, his eyes shining with sincerity and expectation, as if he were speaking of a great and lofty ideal.

"What? What good will this do for you?" Wakana looked confused, her brows furrowing even more. She simply couldn't understand the point of doing such a thing. This feeling was just like that of an interstellar traveler facing an unknown civilization, filled with confusion and bewilderment.

"Of course, it's to assist my research~" Hiruko said matter-of-factly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom and passion, as if he could already see the glorious future of successful research.

Seeing that Wakana still seemed confused, he continued, "Humans can extract Earth's memories to create all sorts of Gaia memories, including various special concepts that are artificially divided."

Digimon might become a new avenue for exploring these concepts, much like new tools in interstellar exploration, opening a completely new door for us.

For example, fear, virtuality, aging, despair, hope, eternity, fantasy, or even time; as well as some gods that have always been worshipped by mankind, and mythical beasts and heroes in legends.

"Could it be... that you want to create a memory for an anime character? No matter how you look at it, that's impossible!" Wakana's mouth was wide open, her face full of shock and disbelief. She simply couldn't understand Hiruko's outlandish thought process.

"Why is it impossible? Stories and legends are products of human transmission, and humans are products of the Earth. Therefore, all the stories depicted by humans on Earth are part of the Earth's memory," Hiruko said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence and certainty.

He had been developing Digimon, but the process was fraught with difficulties and progressed at a snail's pace.

Moreover, there is absolutely no clue about the subsequent development and evolution of Digimon, and so far he has only created a half-finished Greymon.

So he decided to spread the anime first, so that the concept of Digimon could be widely spread throughout the world, and that Earth could have this part of the memory.

He felt that what he was doing was entirely feasible. After all, the fact that the Quetzalcoatl memory, which symbolized the concept of Quetzalcoatl, could be created showed that the stories passed down in human civilization were already part of Earth's memory and were interconnected with other memories.

So, if Earth's memories contain a clear concept of Digimon, as well as the evolutionary paths of various Digimon, perhaps it would be able to create corresponding Digimon memories, and then filling them with different memory data for development and evolution would be much easier.

It's even possible that a special virtual data world like the Digital World could be developed.

In short, the first step is to make Digimon popular on Earth, at least in Japan, becoming a favorite anime among elementary school students.

"Ah~ Your body is so perfect! It's full of infinite possibilities." Isaka Shinkuro's eyes narrowed slightly as he stroked Tsumura Marina's body, which had transformed into an orange Tyrannosaurus Rex, with a look of rapture.

His fingers gently slid across the Tyrannosaurus Rex's body, and with each touch, his body trembled slightly, as if he were overly excited.

"Really? But I have mixed feelings. I didn't expect you to be completely uninterested in women's bodies, and even have this kind of hobby." Marina Tsumura said with some displeasure, her brows furrowing slightly and her eyes revealing a hint of disgust.

She had been abducted by Isaka Shinkuro for some time now. Originally, she thought she would be abused and violated by this pervert, and she had prepared to seduce him and then find an opportunity to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Isaka Shinkuro had no interest in ordinary humans at all; this perverted mutant was only interested in the hybrids after they transformed.

She was initially resistant, wanting to kill Isaka Shinkuro after transforming and then leave, but firstly, she was not strong enough, and every time she was beaten to the ground, she was powerless to fight back.
