Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"Ah, ah, I've really been acting too badly lately," Hiruko muttered to herself.

Immediately afterwards, he suppressed the unusually cold chakra within his body and put on a seemingly warm smile.

He closed the door and went out.

He greeted many Konoha ninjas with smiles along the way.

Most Konoha ninjas considered Hiruko a good person, a steadfast inheritor of the Will of Fire, and a gentle man.

Many women in Konoha want to marry such a handsome and gentle man.

Unfortunately, they didn't know what kind of person Hiruko really was in private.

The villagers of Konoha found it difficult to associate Hiruko with these despicable acts.

Only those who have truly witnessed Hiruko's methods know that his cunning is no less than Orochimaru's.

Furthermore, it was no secret that Hiruko imprisoned female ninjas from other countries.

The proud Konoha princess naturally wouldn't give in easily, and thus the relationship between Tsunade and Hiruko reached a stalemate.

Granny Chiyo soon arrived in Konoha to negotiate.

At the same time, Iwagakure and Kumogakure also began to meet.

These two events seem unrelated on their own, but if we connect them, could it be that the Fourth Shinobi World War is about to begin?

After realizing that he had been transported to this ninja world, Hiruko knew that his every move would have a butterfly effect on this world.

I just didn't expect the effect to come so quickly.

Thanks to his efforts, Konoha is now in a much better state than in the original story.

However, even the wisest person can make a mistake.

Hiruko naturally couldn't have imagined...

"Please vote for me! Thank you everyone!!! I'm so grateful!!!"

Chapter 54: The Shyness of Volume 54!

But who could have imagined that after Konoha's strength was restored, it would put immense pressure on other villages?

Iwagakure chose to align itself with Kumogakure, while Sunagakure planned to seek an alliance under Konoha's protection. As for Kirigakure, it remained detached and seemed to be waiting for the right opportunity.

If these three villages were to unite, it would be a huge problem.

In the original timeline, the three villages did not actually form an alliance; it was only Iwagakure and Kumogakure that started the war.

Kirigakure later joined in, hoping to gain some benefits from it.

These two battles, under the mutual restraint of both sides, barely maintained a certain balance and, to some extent, could only be considered local wars.

None of the three sides were in good condition. As the fighting continued, all three sides began to struggle and eventually had to cease hostilities.

However, the situation has now taken a sharp turn for the worse, and it seems to be heading straight for the Fourth Shinobi World War, which is clearly not the situation Hiruko had hoped for.

He was determined to reform the ninja world, but unfortunately he didn't have the extraordinary power of Kotoamatsukami to forcefully change A and Onoki's attitude.

If they believe this is the best outcome, then let's go to war.

"A single punch can prevent a hundred more." Upon closer examination, this is actually a viable strategy.

Hiruko genuinely didn't want to wreak havoc outside, after all, with his poison skills, it would be a one-sided massacre for those weaker ninjas.

Konoha will not relax its vigilance towards Kumogakure and Iwagakure at this moment.

But before that, there was another extremely important thing to do, which was to receive Granny Chiyo.

The significance behind Granny Chiyo's arrival at this time is self-evident.

Although her choices are actually quite limited, Konoha still has to treat her well just to be on the safe side.

The Third Hokage's wife, Biwako Sarutobi, was undoubtedly the best choice to entertain Granny Chiyo.

Other matters are not particularly related to Hiruko, but perhaps Granny Chiyo will come by to visit Yokura.

After all, Hiruko's imprisonment of Pakura was no secret in the ninja world.

In the past few days, Konoha's machine has been operating at full speed to gather supplies.

Meanwhile, Granny Chiyo and her men gradually approached Konoha.

The group consisted of highly skilled Jonin, but among them was a small child.

Beside the child was a ninja who looked remarkably like Nohara Rin; this girl was none other than Maki, a disciple of Yekura.

Upon learning that Granny Chiyo was going to Konoha, Maki immediately applied to go with her.

Because she knew that her master, Yecang, was not dead, but still in the hands of Hiruko.

Three days ago, after the high-level meeting of Sunagakure Village concluded.

The last rays of the setting sun shone through the window of Fengying's office.

Grandma Chiyo clasped her hands together, tapping her knuckles lightly on the table, and looked solemnly at Maki standing opposite her.

“Juan, you should have already heard... about your master.”

Chiyo's voice was deep and slow, carrying an undeniable authority, "The cooperation between Sunagakure and Konoha is a done deal, and you know Hiruko's personality... well, you know it too."

Juan hung her head, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

The wind and sand swept across the rocky walls outside the window, making a soft, mournful sound, as if echoing her turbulent emotions.

As an elite ninja carefully cultivated by Sunagakure, she never imagined that one day she would face such a choice.

Chiyo's gaze lingered on the girl for a moment.

Despite being eroded by wind and sand year after year, Juan's skin remains delicate, and her eyes and brows reveal a clear and youthful innocence.

Although she wasn't as radiant as her master, she possessed a unique charm that befitted a young woman.

"Lady Chiyo, I..."

Juan's voice trembled slightly, and the tips of her ears turned a blush. "I will try my best to persuade my master... and, and her... to serve Lord Beiliuhu."

These words seemed to have exhausted all her courage.

Just yesterday, the elders of Sunagakure gave her an emergency "cram lesson".

The explicit drawings, the straightforward descriptions, and the meaningful smiles of the older female ninjas... everything made this naive girl feel so ashamed that she almost suffocated.

"...So, so shameless!"

Running through the desert, Juan shook his head violently, trying to shake off the embarrassing images in his mind.

But the more I resisted, the clearer those images became...

"Master... what should I do?"

The girl's figure appeared exceptionally thin.

While running, Juan quickly shook her head, shaking away the unhealthy posture from her mind.

The high speed at which the Jonin traveled was probably something they were already used to and wouldn't find uncomfortable.

However, for a small child, such rapid running would quickly become exhausting.

Noticing that the little girl's breathing had become rapid and difficult, Granny Chiyo immediately signaled the group to stop.

She quickly walked to the little girl, untied the little girl's cloak, her face full of concern, and asked softly, "Are you alright?"

Although the little girl was in great pain, she still tried her best to appear strong and said, "It's okay."

Grandma Chiyo saw all of this and couldn't help but feel a little more pity for her.

“Alas, your father and I fought side by side, and we really don’t want that fate to befall our child.”

“But in this dog-eat-dog world, the weak have no choice and no human rights. Until then, the Land of Wind and Sunagakure must continue. What we did was what we believed to be the right thing to do,” Granny Chiyo said sadly.

However, the little girl looked at her with unwavering eyes and said, "If it's for everyone, I'm willing!"

Upon hearing this, Granny Chiyo fell silent, tears welling in her eyes. She gently embraced the little girl, unsure of how to respond.

The next day, Sarutobi Biwako and some others waited ten miles away to welcome Chiyo-baba, who arrived as promised.

Upon arriving at their destination, the group discovered that not only had Granny Chiyo come, but also Temari, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage.

Who would have thought that in this negotiation setting, Granny Chiyo would bring a three-year-old girl with her? What was her intention?

A sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in Sarutobi Biwako's heart.

She didn't think that Hiruko would like a young girl like that, after all, they all knew very well that Hiruko had always been fond of mature women.

However, thinking that the little girl probably wouldn't cause any big trouble, Sarutobi Biwako didn't say anything more, treating it as an unimportant matter.

Sarutobi Biwako did not come alone; Hokage advisor Koharu Utatane also accompanied her.

Both sides were extremely enthusiastic during the meeting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Chapter 55 The Blue Moon Rises Over Konoha!!!

When Granny Chiyo saw Kakashi, her expression froze.

The two groups exchanged names according to procedure, and the Sunagakure entourage also underwent inspection by Kakashi and the others as per protocol.

Then everyone headed towards Konoha Village.

During this time, Granny Chiyo took the initiative to chat with Kakashi, and the topic gradually turned to the past events of Amegakure during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

In fact, upon closer examination, the two sides do have some subtle connections.

Take Hanzo the Salamander for example. Although he was the leader of a small ninja village in Amegakure, he was a truly ruthless character.

Before Payne grew up, he was once driven to the brink of despair by him.

Of course, Danzo's interference was also a contributing factor.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Hanzo of the Salamander fought against Granny Chiyo, and in terms of strength, Hanzo was naturally superior.

However, Granny Chiyo successfully neutralized Hanzo's deadly poison and discovered his weakness.
