Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Hongdou seemed not to hear anything, focusing wholeheartedly on ordering food, huffing and puffing as she ordered large quantities of items.

She already knew that this restaurant belonged to Beiliuhu, and that he would definitely not let the two girls pay the bill, so they could have a big feast.

It's likely that Biluhu will end up paying for this meal anyway, so Hongdou is even more enthusiastic about ordering, intending to squeeze a hefty sum out of Biluhu.

Red Bean knows Hiruko very well; he has a bit of a macho vibe.

"Thank you for the compliment," Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile, bowing her head.

He couldn't help but think of Hiruko's eyes again.

"I've ordered, Kurenai. See if you want anything added," Kurenai finally spoke, handing the menu, which was already mostly drawn, to Kurenai.

Kurenai glanced at the menu briefly and then ordered some vegetarian dishes.

Barbecue is too greasy, so she doesn't eat much of it, and she doesn't have many dietary restrictions when eating.

However, we always need to order some vegetables each time we eat there to balance out the greasiness of the grilled meat.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten at such a high-class place, so we ordered quite a lot at once," Hongdou said with some anticipation.

"If you can't finish it, you can pack it up and take it home," Hiruko said.

The dessert that Hongdou had ordered earlier was served. Without any hesitation, Hongdou picked up a bowl of strawberry smoothie, scooped out a big spoonful, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Hiruko smiled gently and looked at Anko, her expression like that of a manga character, radiating happiness.

Hongdou is indeed a lovely girl, but unfortunately she'll grow into a chubby bean in the future.

Hiruko sat there and picked up a string of three-colored dumplings to start eating.

The three of them began to discuss the current situation in Konoha.

After all, both of them are top figures in Konoha and can be considered descendants of high-ranking officials, so they are naturally very clear about some cutting-edge news.

The roasted meats were then served one by one, their colors a vibrant red and glossy. Combined with Bei Liuhu's superb grilling skills, these roasted meats naturally shone brightly.

While researching various plants, Hiruko also discovered certain special spices.

After research, it became his unique secret, allowing him to sweep through the barbecue restaurants in Konoha.

As soon as Hongdou saw the delicious roasted meat, she couldn't wait to put it on the grill and sprinkle it with the special spices made by Beiliuhu.

Hiruko also picked up his chopsticks and started fiddling with them.

The slices of roasted meat were placed on the grill one by one, and soon the very large round plate was filled.

The tender slices of meat sizzled on the stove, the oil rising faintly in the high temperature, and wisps of white smoke drifted between the three people.

The human gene has long been etched with a love for greasy flavors.

People are much happier when they eat barbecued food.

Hiruko also really enjoys barbecue, otherwise he wouldn't have opened a shop like this.

Hiruko, with her gentle and kind face but rather quiet nature, did not leave a bad impression on Kurenai Yuhi, nor did she leave a particularly good one.

After all, Hiruko's reputation was simply too great.

For a conservative woman like Kurenai Yuhi, the Konoha Twin Wolves were still somewhat off-putting.

This girl in front of me is so heartless, such a big, silly girl, all she knows is how to eat.

"Lord Hiruko, your barbecue is really delicious." Red Bean didn't forget to call out to everyone, reaching out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Kurenai and also for Hiruko.

Hiruko looked at the guy in front of her who could eat even more than her, speechless, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat like this?"

Red Bean proudly raised her slender arm and said seriously, "This is just my constitution. There's nothing I can do about it. I can eat whatever I want without any problems."

"You know, I eat ten skewers of three-colored meatballs every day."

Hiruko couldn't help but think to herself, "You're going to be in trouble in the future!"

The three of them joked and chatted happily.

Hiruko also forgot the frustration in the laboratory and felt much more relaxed.

Hiruko was quite pleased to have met Kurenai Yuhi, the future female ninja.

This girl can't be left to that brat Asma.

After all, Sarutobi Mirai looks exactly like Uchiha Shisui. If there's some hidden reason, wouldn't the Sarutobi family line end?

It's better to accept this suffering than to endure it yourself.

Hiruko deliberately made a deep impression on Kurenai Yuhi so that they could make contact in the future.

After a busy day, Beiruhu was already quite tired by midnight.

He lay on the bed organizing his documents, quietly reading about psychic arts for a while until he felt dizzy and slightly tired.

Finally, he put down the scroll and began to slowly ponder the intricacies of spirit communication.

The problem here is quite significant. Other people's summoning techniques, or more precisely, their contracts with well-known and powerful summoning beasts, such as the giant toad, snake, and slug commonly used by the Sannin.

There are also other summoning beasts, such as the Third Hokage's Enma and Kakashi Hatake's ninja dogs, which are relatively less powerful.

Of course, some people also cultivate native animals into summoning beasts through domestication. These summoning beasts do not have a place to reside like Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, or Shikkotsu Forest.

There are even those like Hiruko, who can summon their clones at any time. These clones are entirely modified from his body cells, have extremely short lifespans, and are of little value, only suitable for temporary combat.

Most people rarely pay special attention to the summoned beasts, instead viewing them as powerful combat partners.

Of course, Hiruko doesn't reject this concept either. For example, Jiraiya himself has good talent, but he's not particularly amazing.

When Jiraiya was not yet powerful, it was the giant toad that came to his door to help him through the most difficult period of his growth.

They also taught him Sage Mode, a technique that even Orochimaru hadn't mastered.

The reason is unknown, but it is mentioned that it is related to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, who asked him to find the Child of Destiny.

Even Hiruko himself, a transmigrator, couldn't figure it out, so probably not many people could understand the mystery behind it.

Hiruko speculated that the Sage of Six Paths was hiding in the shadows and was probably the mastermind behind all of this.

Even so, Hiruko still noticed something amiss.

Putting aside the various forms of spirit communication and all sorts of unique secret techniques, the most crucial point has gone unnoticed by everyone.

That is the establishment of the spirit contract and the process of spirit summoning.

Since Hiruko has never actually seen them, the details of their contracts with those powerful summoning beast clans remain unknown.

However, there is definitely a big problem here!

Chapter 70: The Problem with Spirit Communication?

Based on the information I remember, a contract should be an exchange agreement with a global binding force guaranteeing its validity.

The details here need further research by Hiruko to confirm, but unfortunately he does not have a powerful summoning beast scroll.

What's even more amazing is the process of summoning spirits; the spirit beasts travel through space to fight for the user.

If you can win, fight; if you can't, you can run. Even if you get injured or your life is in danger, it's very rare.

The use of both teleportation and reverse teleportation is far too convenient, even in a world with a relatively stable spatial structure.

However, this point truly puzzled Beiruk.

What worries him even more is that the vast majority of psychic practitioners bite their fingers and use blood as a medium for communication when they are communicating with spirits.

Many psychic texts mention the use of blood as a medium.

In the long years before the rise of science, many philosophers firmly believed that blood was the vessel of the soul.

For thousands of years afterward, people still haven't figured out what the soul really is.

Is it really true, as some people say, that the weight of the soul is 27 grams?

However, whether there are any issues regarding summoning and blood-related matters in the ninja world is debatable.

Who knows what these spirit beasts want to obtain by drinking blood?

Hiruko valued his blood highly, and he would carefully collect even items like his hair each time.

After all, once one's DNA is leaked, there are countless ways in the ninja world to clone someone exactly like oneself.

Hiruko didn't want to cause any big trouble in the future, such as being used by someone with ill intentions to create a major villain.

In the ninja world, there are quite a few ninjas who use blood to help them perform ninjutsu, but very few who must use blood as a medium to perform ninjutsu.

Blood, as a part of the human body, is an excellent chakra conductor.

Generally speaking, when inscribing sealing techniques and performing special ninjutsu, some of the materials used will contain more or less the blood of ninja beasts or even humans.

There are countless ways to stimulate potential using blood in the ninja world.

The three-colored pills of the Pig-Deer-Butterfly clan are a typical example of this kind of medicine that stimulates the body and depletes potential.

In the ninja world, secret techniques that rely on severely depleting and burning one's own blood or other parts of the body for desperate fighting are commonplace.

The principle that only those who survive are qualified to replenish their ranks applies to all realms.

Once someone is dead, they're dead; no matter how much potential they had, it was useless.

In addition, there is the infamous curse technique "Death Possession Blood" used by Hidan of the Akatsuki organization.

Using another person's blood to perform a curse is an extremely bizarre and evil form of magic.

Hiruko was not really clear about the principles of spirit communication, nor was he sure if it was related to sacrifice.

However, he saw that the Aburame clan's insect manipulation technique involved exchanging their own chakra for insects that would become their nests, thus allowing insects to help them fight.

Therefore, it can be seen that, generally speaking, unless it is as Hiruko imagines, where the individual is in control and the psychic arts are extremely weak.

Otherwise, it's hard to say that summoning techniques could bring forth spirit beasts without any cost.

Hiruko didn't believe that summoned beasts these days would be so easy to talk to, coming to help fight monsters without paying any price.

Moreover, high-level spirit beasts are intelligent species.

Toad Master Fukasaku, Toad Master Shima, and the slug itself are all beings who stand at the pinnacle of power in this world.

If they didn't have some kind of grievance, how could they possibly get involved in the conflicts between humans?

Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki were to be resurrected and use all of humanity for the Infinite Tsukuyomi enslavement, turning them all into White Zetsu, what would that have to do with them?
