Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"Ahem, I have another reason for doing this, which is to instill fear in the three great powers, to make them fear the Celestials and fear the Gundam."

"Only when they are afraid can obstacles be reduced, and only then can the dark side of the Celestials accelerate the integration of the world," Hiruko said.

The merger of one country with another is not something that can be accomplished with mere words. It involves the interests of many people, especially in the military sphere. After the merger, whether I am upgraded or downgraded, whether the number of troops I control decreases or increases, these are all matters that will be debated for a long time.

The dark side of the Celestials? Ptolemy's squad didn't know what it was, but Wang Liumei knew perfectly well that the dark side of the Celestials was Ribbons.

"Soon, the dark side of Celestial Being will hand over the mass-produced GN Mobile Suit to the three major powers. With the power of the pseudo-solar reactor, he will eliminate Ptolemy and the three Thrones. Based on this achievement, he will manipulate the three major powers to combine their forces and form a unified Earth regime, accelerating the unification of the Earth Sphere," Wang Liumei added.

Unifying the world by force is certainly not the best option, but it is definitely the fastest, especially now that ELS has blocked our way. A domineering approach like that of Ribbons is the most effective.

By crushing the three great powers, Ribbons aimed to weaken their original influence as much as possible. Only by reducing their influence would Ribbons face less resistance when forming the Earth Federation, thus minimizing conflicts during the unification process.

"Are we all going to die?" Setsuna looked at Hiruko with a bewildered expression.

"I guess I'll never become a Gundam." Everyone else looked dejected as well.

"Who said you're going to die? Didn't I say that the Throne Angels will also be destroyed? Would I let myself die? The seven Gundams and Ptolemy must be destroyed in front of the world, otherwise the newly formed Earth Federation will live in constant fear."

"We only want to create the illusion that all the celestial beings have been wiped out, so we can hide in the shadows and witness the development after the world is unified," Hiruko patiently explained.

"Um, shouldn't we do something? There are aliens on Jupiter, you know. It's not good to just hide and watch."

"I don't know what to do." Hiruko said confidently that he didn't know. He had already returned to his own world at that time, and he had no say in what the Amanto were doing.

"No, buddy, aren't you supposed to have high authority? Don't you know what to do next for something this big about aliens?" Lockon couldn't help but ask. He was one of the first Ptolemaic members to come into contact with Hiruko.

"Once the Earth Federation is established, I will no longer interfere in the activities of the Celestials. At that time, you can do whatever you want according to your own ideas," Hiruko said. At that time, it will be a contest of ideologies between Ptolemy and Ribbons, which is a matter of internal affairs for the Celestials, and he should not interfere.

Miss Huang gave Wang Liumei a look, and Wang Liumei could only shrug, indicating that she couldn't help him.

"All the previous problems were solved, so how come so many new problems have suddenly appeared? The Earth Federation, the dark side of Celestials, and most importantly, aliens on Jupiter! My brain is about to explode!!!" Ptolemy member Christina screamed, clutching her head. She felt her mind was going to become chaotic after accepting so many things all at once.

"Girl, this world is made up of bugs. The program is still running only because there are enough bugs." Hiruko, the research ninja, suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Wow!!! I don't want to hear it!!!" Upon hearing the bug, Christina's instincts triggered a stress response.

Miss Huang helplessly covered her head. Although there were more and more problems, she felt relieved that everyone could survive.

Hiruko said that Ptolemy's squad should have been wiped out, and she actually knew that.

As a tactical reserve officer, she had already learned part of the full picture of the plan from the Vedic sources.

In the original work, Miss Royal knew that the four Gundams would be captured during the joint military exercise, which is why she didn't take any corresponding countermeasures after reading the information Billy gave her.

"Soon, the mass-produced GN Mobile Suit Doom will be handed over to the three major powers, and then the final battle will begin."

You can take this time to rest, consider your future path, or choose to go with the flow. Whatever you choose, the world is entering a new era.

Hiruko's words made everyone ponder. Although it was their first meeting, they all felt Hiruko's extraordinary leadership. Everything he did was so radical, seemingly with irreversible consequences, yet he always managed to push the situation in a positive direction.

Chapter 435

"Let's leave the topic here. The four drivers have barely escaped and now they all look like they're about to fall asleep."

There are rooms in this base. You can go and rest first. Whatever the future holds won't affect your good night's sleep.

They weren't sleepy at first, but after Hiruko's suggestion, the four drivers couldn't keep their eyes open. Seeing this, Ptolemy and the others couldn't continue, so they helped them to rest, leaving only Hiruko and Wang Liumei in the room.

"Is the phase of military intervention finally coming to an end?" Wang Liumei asked.

“That’s right, after doing one thing, we can let Ribbons take action,” Hiruko replied.

"Is that so? I understand." Wang Liumei fell silent. She knew that the days she could spend with Hiruko would only get shorter and shorter, and the next time they met might be two or three years from now. She also needed to think carefully about her future. Ribbons had actually already contacted her in secret.

Thinking back to the original story, where Ribbons treated him like a servant, but now Ribbons sees him as an equal and seeks cooperation, is this the change Hiruko was referring to?

“We’ve met with Ptolemy’s squad, now it’s time to go find those other people,” Hiruko said.

“You just gave them a good beating, and now you’re going to find them. I wonder how they’ll feel when they see you,” Wang Liumei said with a laugh.

Next, Biruho ​​went to meet with Graham, Smirnov, Katie, Billy, and Professor Eifman, all members of the three major powers' camps.

These people, as elites of the three great nations, were enemies of the Ptolemaic Squad because of their different factions. The reason they all fought was to make the world a better place, but they ended up on opposite sides for various reasons, and in the end, they even paid with their lives.

Rather than letting them go down the wrong path due to various misunderstandings, as in the original story, it would be better to bring them all into the Celestials now and prepare for the arrival of ELS together.

This is also why Hiruko, the research ninja, has not killed them all; he has not killed his comrades so that he can recruit them into his ranks now.

The ancients said to first use courtesy before resorting to force, but Bei Liu Hu did the opposite: first use force before using courtesy. He subdued them and then tried to reason with them. This was much more efficient than using courtesy before force.

Moreover, these people are deeply involved with the members of Ptolemy's team. Just the young lady alone has close relationships with Katie, Billy, and Professor Eifman. Allelujah and Soma were a couple since childhood. Graham, this Gundam fanatic, even joined Celestial Being's Exia in the future. He said he would defeat Gundam with the Flag Gundam, but when it came to actually piloting a Gundam, he couldn't wait to join and even renamed Exia to Graham Gundam. He says one thing and does another.

If Ptolemy's squad clashes with Ribbons again in the future, they could become a powerful ally for Ptolemy's squad.

Although the current path is still the same as in the original story, many variables have been introduced due to the intervention of Hiruko, the scientific research ninja.

The Ptolemy squad will not die, Lockon will not perish in battle, and those like Graham will join Celestial Being. Everyone will also know the existence of ELS.

With Hiruko's help, Ribbons will still control the world, but the direction the world will take will be completely different because of these variables.

UN Air Force Base... Several days have passed since the joint military exercise, and as expected, news of the three major powers' crushing defeat has spread throughout the world. Celestial Being has once again proven the power of Gundam to the world.

"I never thought you'd be here alone, enjoying the scenery."

"Billy Katagiri saw Graham leaning on the balcony looking at the view from the base's rest area."

"It's you, Katagiri. Have you finished work?"

Graham greeted Katagiri casually, and Katagiri looked at him with a helpless expression.

"Are you still bothered by the joint military exercises?"

"

"Don't you mind?"

"Of course I mind, after all, we gathered so many troops but failed to take down the Gundam. Don't be fooled by my smiling face, I'm actually quite disappointed."

"

"Perhaps this is the difference between you and me: I am a soldier, and you are a researcher."

Katagiri shook his head and leaned against the balcony with Graham, looking at the scenery outside.

"Katagiri, how's Professor Eifman's research going? I heard he's almost figured out those special particles in Gundam."

"Will we be able to use the same mobile suits as Gundam?" Graham asked expectantly.

"Hahaha, this is nothing. The Celestials' technology is fifty years ahead of the world. Even if the professor understands the properties of particles, he can't possibly make the same device. Just like everyone knows the formula for a nuclear bomb, but only a few countries in the old world can make one. In scientific research, there is no such thing as overtaking on a curve."

Hearing Katagiri's words, Graham also sighed. The Super Flag was already the best mobile suit the UN had at the moment, but it was far from enough compared to the Gundam. He had been defeated cleanly twice when he faced the Red and Black Gundam. The only reason he was standing here now was because the other party had shown mercy and had not gone on a killing spree.

*Beep beep* Just then, Katagiri and Graham's private communication devices beeped, the crisp notification sound particularly abrupt in the quiet command room. Thinking it was a new order, they hurriedly checked the message, but after reading it, they exchanged a serious look. [I am the pilot of Celestial Being's Red and Black Gundam Throne Angel, and also the research ninja Hiruko. I invite you all to the following location; I would like to speak with you. (Address attached)]

"Katagiri, what do you think?" Graham frowned, his tone tinged with doubt.

"This guy who claims to be a Celestial Being Gundam pilot and a research ninja, I wonder if he's real or not. Doesn't he know we just got a good beating from Celestial Being? Isn't he afraid we'll ambush him now that he's invited us to meet?" Katagiri stroked his chin, his eyes flashing with wariness.

"Katagiri, I've decided to go see what's going on." Graham's eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind.

“Graham, this is no joke. You could be charged with treason.” Katagiri hurriedly tried to dissuade him, knowing the weight of this decision.

“Of course I know, but Katagiri, aren’t you curious? If this person really is the pilot of that red and black Gundam, and claims to be a research ninja, why has he never killed anyone on the battlefield? If this guy hadn’t shown mercy, I would have died twice. Consider it repaying the debt of two lives.” Graham’s words were tinged with gratitude and curiosity.

After hearing what Graham said, Katagiri opened his mouth wide and gave a wry smile: "It sounds like something you would do. I'll go with you."

“Katagiri, you don’t need to take such a risk. I can go by myself.” Graham shook his head; he didn’t want to implicate his friend.

"They've already sent the information to my private terminal, so they obviously already know my details. With their elusive abilities, coming to find me in person wouldn't be a problem at all. I might as well go with you now, that way we can look out for each other. If anything goes wrong, you have to protect me," Katagiri said half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, I, Graham, will risk my life to protect my friend." Graham patted his chest, his tone firm.

"Oh my, that's such a cheesy way to put it," Katagiri teased with a laugh.

Just as the two were joking with each other, their personal terminals rang again. Professor Eifman had sent them a message saying that there was something about Celestial Being that needed to be discussed. The two exchanged a glance and immediately realized that Professor Eifman had also received the same message as them.

“Graham, now you’ll have to protect one more person,” Katagiri said with a smile.

Graham covered his face, feeling immense pressure: "What on earth is this research ninja up to...?"

"Is this the location mentioned in the message?" Graham piloted the Overdrive Flag, escorting a transport plane through the air. Inside the transport plane were Katagiri and Professor Eifman. After receiving the message, the three of them decided to come together, without bringing anyone else. They were currently over the Pacific Ocean, with a deserted island directly below them.

A message came through their communication channel, containing a flight path that would lead them to the Celestial Being's secret base on the isolated island. "Katagiri, Professor Eifman, let's go see what this self-proclaimed research ninja wants to tell us." Graham gripped the control stick tightly; they were already here, and there was no turning back.

Based on the information sent, Graham and his two companions found a hidden entrance and entered the base through it. After flying in, Graham saw the Iron Man of the Human Reform Alliance, the AEU's standard-issue aircraft, and transport planes. [It seems this person invited people from two other organizations besides us,] Graham thought to himself, becoming even more curious about the identity of this research ninja.

The oversized flag-shaped transport plane and the UN transport plane found a spot in the hangar and parked. Graham got out of the aircraft, and Katagiri helped Professor Eifman off the transport plane. After Graham got out of the aircraft, he saw the people from the Human Reform League and the AEU. Although he was not familiar with them, he had met them once during the joint military exercise.

"Colonel Smirnov, Lieutenant Piris, Colonel Manekin, and that guy... the one who calls himself the AEU's ace, were you all invited here by Celestial Being's Gundam pilot, that research ninja?" Graham asked with a smile.

"I'm not that guy! I'm Patrick, the one who won both simulation battles..." Standing next to Patrick, Katie gave him a quick elbow strike to shut him up.

"Colonel Graham, did you also receive the message from the Celestials?" Smirnov asked.

Graham nodded and continued, "Not only me, but my colleagues and mentors also received it; the three of us came together."

Just as they were about to exchange their intelligence, one of the gates in the hangar opened automatically. "Is this an invitation for us to leave through here?" Sminov wondered, looking towards the exit.

“Gentlemen, since the host here has invited us, let’s follow his instructions and go this way,” said the highly respected Professor Eifman. The group exchanged glances and nodded, then headed towards the exit together.

"Colonel, wait for me!" Patrick rubbed his chest as he chased after them. Even though he was deep in enemy territory (?), he seemed completely clueless about the situation. Perhaps that's why he was so lucky; sometimes fools have all the luck.

The delegation from the three major nations followed the passageway to a conference room. "Welcome everyone. I am Hiruko, the organizer of this meeting, the pilot of the Celestial Angel Gundam Unit 1, and also a research ninja," Hiruko said with a smile, his smile revealing a sense of mystery and confidence.

Upon hearing Hiruko's words, everyone's expressions immediately turned serious. It was this very man who had thwarted the joint military exercise of the three great powers. Although seven Gundams had appeared in the joint exercise, they had already captured the first four that appeared. However, once the Throne Gundams were deployed, the military strength of the three great powers was instantly disintegrated.

"Why did you call us out? Don't you know that in the eyes of the three great powers, Celestials are a terrorist organization?" Sminov asked in a deep voice, his tone tinged with anger and vigilance.

"The Celestials are indeed a terrorist organization, but the three great powers aren't much better, are they?" Hiruko smiled slightly, pointing to Graham and the other two, "The UN secretly supports terrorist organizations." Then he pointed to the Human Revolutionary Union, "They've been secretly conducting human experiments on colonies for over a decade." Finally, he pointed to the AEU, "An old European tradition, personally intervening to overthrow the regimes of other countries."

"The countries you all serve are actually quite similar to those of the Celestials, and what the Celestials have done has indeed reduced armed conflicts around the world. You are all in the military, so I suppose most of those military industrial enterprises have already been shut down." Hiruko's words carried a hint of sarcasm and helplessness.

Upon hearing Hiruko's words, the expressions of everyone present turned grim. On one hand, the three great powers had indeed done what he described, and it had been exposed by Celestial Being; on the other hand, there was the matter of military industrial enterprises. Since Celestial Being's intervention, military enterprises from around the world had begun announcing their withdrawal from the military industry, fearing Celestial Being's wrath. Military industrial enterprises were also on Celestial Being's list of targets for military intervention. Even the three great powers had been severely weakened; how could these small fry dare to oppose Celestial Being? (In an episode of the first season, Tizi mentioned that many military industrial enterprises closed down after Celestial Being's appearance.)

It's often said that war is all about logistics. Although Hiruko didn't kill anyone during his military intervention and the pilots survived, many military factories in the rear went bankrupt and closed down due to Celestial Being's intervention. Even if the pilots were still alive, the production of mobile suits in the three major powers had already reached a point of insufficient capacity.

Chapter 436

"The Celestials intervened militarily to exaggerate the common threat and promote the formation of a unified regime among the various countries on Earth. Your decision not to kill during the military intervention was to preserve the Earth's living forces to deal with a possible ELS invasion, is that right?" Someone stared intently at Hiruko, eager for an answer.

Hiruko nodded slightly, his expression calm: "That's right, that's the truth. If ELS hadn't been discovered on Jupiter, I wouldn't have interfered in Earth's affairs."

Although I am a research ninja, devoted to the fusion of ninjutsu and technology, the emergence of ELS concerns the future of civilization throughout the universe, and I have no choice but to intervene.
