Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Hiruko poured sake for Nonou, saying, "The balance system has been enhanced by 200%."

"Using a summoned beast for a cooking demonstration?" Nono raised an eyebrow.

Don't underestimate it; this is a variety that I have carefully improved.

As they finished eating, the atmosphere became somewhat romantic yet slightly tense.

Hiruko sat on the soft sofa, a hint of barely concealed desire in his eyes.

He slowly reached out and pulled Nono into his arms.

Uno was caught off guard and her body stiffened slightly, but when she felt the warm breath coming from Hiruko, she couldn't help but relax.

Hiruko's other hand, as if drawn by some invisible force, gently landed on Nonou's plump thigh.

The feeling made his breathing gradually quicken.

Nono's face instantly turned red to her ears, and she subconsciously twisted her body.

Trying to break free from the embarrassing touch, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness, she said, "Okay... Lord Hiruko, it'll tear easily like this, there are buttons..."

Her eyes revealed a hint of unease, yet also a faint trace of anticipation.

Hiruko seemed not to hear her words, her gaze still fixed on Nonou, a playful smile playing on her lips: "Nonou, you're dressed too conservatively."

Nono lowered her head slightly, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, and said softly, "...I face children every day, what kind of clothes do you want me to wear?"

Hiruko sighed softly, hugging Nonou even tighter, her voice low and gentle: "It's okay, I like the feeling of being conservative."

Hiruko grabbed Nonou and started tearing at her.

The next day, a pale-faced Beirukhu returned to his laboratory.

It must be said that Nono is indeed a famous female ninja in the ninja world, and she was not at a disadvantage in the face of Hiruko.

His stubborn gaze, in particular, was Hiruko's favorite, and the two fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

Hiruko casually picked up a document, which had been delivered by the Kurama clan.

Hiruko has always been very close to the Kurama clan.

After all, the abilities of the Kurama clan were one of his targets in his plan, and he had to study them thoroughly.

At the time of Konoha's founding, the Kurama clan was an extremely powerful family.

In the realm of genjutsu, they were comparable to, or even surpassed, the Uchiha clan, providing the village with a large number of excellent ninjas.

In the village at that time, the Kurama clan, based solely on their reputation, was comparable to the Uchiha and Hyuga clans.

The genjutsu of the Kurama clan is a genjutsu that manipulates the five senses of the human body. It is an extremely rare bloodline limit, and can be counted on one hand in the ninja world.

Any member of the Kurama clan who has awakened their bloodline limit possesses exceptional destructive power and skill in illusion techniques.

They can rival, and sometimes even surpass, the genjutsu of the Uchiha clan at their peak.

The document that just arrived details the situation of the Kurama clan.

The Kurama clan suffered heavy casualties in the war, and to make matters worse, very few members of the clan have awakened their bloodline limit in the new generation.

If things continue like this, in another ten or twenty years, the saddle horse family will probably decline.

The elders of the Kurama clan had anticipated this possibility, and after learning about the Uchiha clan, they took the initiative to come to them.

The Kurama tribe hopes to change their current situation by providing money and the bodies of their people to Hirukhu, using technology.

Hiruko carefully examined the list of experiments.

The first on the list is Kurama Chiaki, who is only 18 years old. As a Chunin, he is skilled in genjutsu and possesses the unique bloodline Yin Release of the Kurama clan.

Its illusion type is five-sense hypnosis, similar to the illusion created by hairspray hands. It has the ability to influence the perception of others, and the effect on others varies depending on the degree of awakening of their bloodline.

The second is Kurama Chiyuki, also 18 years old, a Chunin, skilled in genjutsu.

Legend has it that every few generations, a Bloodline Awakener emerges in the Kurama clan, whose abilities far surpass those of their peers.

Hiruko's gaze lingered on these lists for a long time.

Soon, Kurama Murakumo, the patriarch of the Kurama clan, appeared.

He was dressed in a casual outfit embroidered with the Kurama clan's crest, and his face was deeply lined with wrinkles, making him look extremely old, much older than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, a hint of anticipation was revealed in his eyes.

After some discussion, Hiruko and Kurama Murakumo reached a kind of shady deal.

The next morning, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, accompanied by members of the Anbu, strolled slowly through the newly renovated streets of Konoha with his son, Asuma.

Now that the ground is entirely paved with cement, and with the series of reforms implemented by Hiruko and the strong support from Minato Namikaze, Konoha is recovering at an extremely fast pace.

People who were originally depressed and disheartened by the war finally had a renewed glimmer of hope in their eyes.

However, before the Third Hokage could even catch his breath, a new crisis loomed ahead.

As the former Third Hokage, it was only natural for him to feel anger.

However, if I put myself in the other person's shoes, I might make the same choice.

Konoha was already exceptionally strong, and now it is recovering its strength at an astonishing speed.

If no restrictions are imposed now, the gap between the two sides will only widen in the future.

The two people opposite each other were actually unwilling to start a war, but at this moment they had no choice but to fight.

Because they were very clear that if they retreated now, they would probably never find such an opportunity again in the future, and they were caught in a dilemma.

The Third Hokage strolled through the streets, his shoulders seemingly bearing an immense burden.

Ninjas would often respectfully salute him, and even ordinary people would bow to him when they saw him.

But in the deep eyes of the third generation, the look of loneliness grew even stronger.

Do you know?

Chapter 67 The Charm of a Young Woman

"The so-called war is nothing more than a group of old people directing those hopeful young people to the front lines."

"Let's use their blood and lives to fill the gaps in the battle lines," Hiruzen Sarutobi said dejectedly.

For certain reasons, Asuma's relationship with his father, the Third Hokage, was not harmonious.

No matter what the Third Hokage said, Asuma always loved to refute it from various angles.

However, this time, faced with her father's sentiments, Asma was speechless and could not find a single word to refute him.

“Old man, you really are getting old,” Asma muttered softly.

"Yes, yes, I'm getting old." The Third Hokage looked at his energetic son beside him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

He gently picked up the pipe, lit it, and took a satisfying puff.

Yes! I am getting old, and the future must ultimately be handed over to the younger generation.

Looking at the Third Hokage in such a state, Asuma clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.

But for some reason, he felt that his relationship with his father seemed to have become closer.

The father and son walked side by side down the street, chatting idly, but even they couldn't remember exactly what they were talking about.

There was just a strange feeling; the atmosphere between the two of them was exceptionally harmonious today, and it had been a long time since they had communicated so freely.

Suddenly, the Third Hokage's gaze sharpened as he looked towards the distance.

Jiraiya was staring at the woman beside him with lustful eyes, his lecherous expression quite obvious.

The Third Hokage couldn't help but rub his forehead; his student was truly both laughable and exasperating.

When Jiraiya saw Hiruzen Sarutobi, he touched his hair sheepishly and then quickly jumped to Hiruzen's side.

Jiraiya was tall and always had a cheerful smile on his face, but when he looked at beautiful women, his eyes always revealed a hint of lewdness.

What's even more striking is that he wasn't wearing a regular headband, but rather a headband with the character for "oil" written on it.

The Third Hokage couldn't help but laugh with joy the moment he saw Jiraiya.

Of these three disciples, only Jiraiya had no reservations about him.

As for Tsunade, she has no interest in her teacher because of the bloodline limit experiment, and her attitude has long since changed.

Since Nawaki's death, Orochimaru has been obsessed with experiments and has become increasingly devoid of emotion.

However, if one had to choose Hiruzen Sarutobi's favorite among his three disciples, it would undoubtedly be Orochimaru.

Anyone who encounters a truly perfect genius disciple like Orochimaru, someone who can completely inherit their mantle, will inevitably feel a greater affinity for him.

Orochimaru not only possesses top-notch talent in ninjutsu, but he is also adept at managing and winning people's hearts.

More importantly, he knew how to calm down and delve into the essence of ninjutsu.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Third Hokage once wanted Orochimaru to succeed him as Hokage.

Unfortunately, he was ultimately disappointed.

Orochimaru didn't care about any of this, and with the series of events that followed, especially Danzo's scheming, the Third Hokage became increasingly disappointed in Orochimaru.

Because Orochimaru's fundamental philosophy has changed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's philosophy was to ignite the emotions in people's hearts, to set the will of fire burning, and to inspire everyone to dedicate everything to Konoha.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, was willing to pay any price in pursuit of endless ninjutsu.

People with different values ​​cannot work together, and the distance between them grew ever wider.

On the contrary, Hiruko and Orochimaru grew closer.

For Jiraiya, the situation was quite different.

He was not chosen as an apprentice randomly, but rather a suitable genius was found among the common people.

Jiraiya's initial performance was not outstanding, but he was very talented.

It has matured over time and has not been eliminated by time, but has instead shone with its own brilliance.

However, due to some special reasons, Jiraiya was often away from home and rarely returned to Konoha.

The Third Hokage originally thought he wouldn't make it to the war again, but unexpectedly, he returned just in time.
