Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

It wasn't that he himself was particularly strong, but rather that his research capabilities greatly benefited many ninjas, increasing Konoha's war potential by 30%.

This is why, despite his near-Kage level strength, he didn't personally participate in the Third Shinobi World War, instead remaining under the close protection of the Third Hokage.

Those families have always been opportunistic, and seeing how powerful Beiliuhu was, they began to invest heavily in him.

After all, given his research capabilities, he is very likely to develop technologies that would benefit bloodline limit families.

However, Hiruko was not one to be easily swayed by just any woman.

If it weren't for the great beauty with a name in the original work, he wouldn't have bothered with her, and it would have been too much trouble to bring her along in the pursuit of immortality.

Hiruko entered his most spacious bedroom, where a huge, eye-catching object was surrounded by sealing runes.

"How about that? Be a good girl and behave well, okay?"

"Get out! You damned Konoha ninja, once I get out of here, I'll skin you alive!"

Ignoring Yekura's angry curses, Hiruko walked straight in and gently stroked her cheek.

He sighed inwardly, marveling at how such fair skin could be cultivated in such a harsh environment as the Land of Wind. It was truly extraordinary.

"Snap!" Yekura suddenly bit down hard on Hiruko's hand with his teeth.

If Hiruko hadn't covered his body with a layer of chakra in time, that bite would probably have torn off a chunk of flesh.

"Hasn't Sunagakure already abandoned you? Wouldn't it be better to submit to me? At least here in Konoha, with me here, no one will dare to harm you!"

Although Hiruko was somewhat annoyed, she ultimately did not intend to use illusion magic against her.

He had always disdained using illusions to conquer women, feeling it was no different from talking to an inflatable doll.

With his cloning technology, he could clone a whole bunch of any woman he wanted.

"roll!"

After Yecang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and ignored Hiruko.

“I remember you had a disciple named Juan!” Hiruko said deliberately.

"Get out of here! If you dare touch her, I will never forgive you!" Ye Cang shouted angrily.

"You'd better pray for yourself!"

Hiruko glanced at Yekura, who was kneeling on one knee, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

He has plenty of patience and time, like training a hawk slowly.

Hiruko opened the door and went back to his other bedroom.

A small figure was seen sitting cross-legged on the bed, constantly cultivating.

Upon noticing that Hiruko had returned, the figure immediately stood up excitedly.

"Lord Beiruhu, you're back!"

Then, somewhat hesitantly, she asked, "Lord Beirukho, do you know my parents..."

Hiruko walked over, patted the girl's head, and said, "Your parents are fine. I've already sent someone to take care of them."

"Unfortunately, my strength is limited. The mastermind behind you is too powerful. I must never let anyone know that I secretly rescued you."

Nohara Rin shook her head and said earnestly, "Lord Hiruko has already paid too high a price to save me. Now I just want to work hard to improve my strength so that I can help Lord Hiruko!"

"Great! I look forward to seeing how you grow!"

Hiruko once retrieved Nohara Rin's body on the battlefield when the situation was critical, and Nohara Rin almost died suddenly.

Fortunately, her own medicine was highly effective, and Rin Nohara herself possessed extraordinary potential, which saved her life from the clutches of death.

When Nohara Rin was surrounded by Iwa ninja, she already understood that Kakashi had no romantic feelings for her.

Perhaps there was a trace of affection at one time, but it vanished without a trace after Obito "passed away".

Even when facing danger, Kakashi helped Obito convey his so-called feelings.

Thinking of all this, Nohara Rin couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Then he turned his attention to the handsome and gentle Hiruko. The hero saving the damsel in distress is a classic story, and no matter how outdated it may seem, there are always girls who fall for it.

As a transmigrator, Hiruko naturally wouldn't let go of Nohara Rin, a person who was extremely important to Obito, the filial son.

Besides, Rin Nohara... isn't she quite cute?

It must taste delicious and soft, especially in front of the mourning son, Obito, who directly...

Chapter 8 Danzo! I'm warning you!

In his past life, Hiruko hated Obito, that filial son. Minato and his wife treated him so well, but how did he treat his own master?

Hiruko had to give him a good beating.

Moreover, Nohara Rin is cute and has a significant role in the original work, so Hiruko plans to cultivate their relationship and win her over.

"Could you please keep an eye on Yekura for me?"

"No...it's okay, I'll be careful!" Nohara Rin blushed instantly to the roots of her ears.

Yekura knew perfectly well how Hiruko had treated her.

Every day, Hiruko would torture Yokura in that humiliating way, trying to wear down her pride.

Just thinking about those embarrassing scenes made Nohara Rin's heart race, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

Furthermore, Nohara Rin had to help Yokura with her toilet duties every day.

This is also the only time this tough guy gets to rest each day.

Hiruko gently rubbed Nohara Rin's head, then lay down comfortably on the bed.

Soon the small figure climbed up and began to massage him with her soft little hands.

Under such a comfortable massage, Hiruko quickly drifted off to sleep.

Not long after, Hiruko frowned, as if he was having a troubled dream.

Seeing this, Nohara Rin gently comforted him for a while, and stopped when she saw that Hiruko was sleeping more steadily.

After obtaining the experimental data he wanted, Orochimaru temporarily refrained from disturbing Hiruko's peaceful life.

He himself also needed some time to digest and organize the data that Biluhu had given him.

Danzo came to see him several times, wanting Hiruko to quickly produce more research results, such as how to safely apply the characteristics of Hashirama cells to the human body.

Danzo looked down on the human enhancement drug cultivated using inferior Hashirama cells.

However, if Hiruko can continue to produce valuable experimental results, then the time when he obtains the true First Generation Wood Release will not be far off.

Hiruko readily agreed and even managed to swindle a large amount of experimental funding from Danzo.

As for the Third Hokage, he was currently in the process of handing over the Hokage position and was naturally very busy, so he had no time to pay attention to Hiruko's situation.

He was trying his best to familiarize Minato with government affairs, explain some high-level secrets that ordinary ninjas could not access, and handle various aspects such as the smooth transfer of power.

Maintaining a balance of power between ninjas and civilians is not something that can be achieved overnight.

In the days that followed, Hiruko diligently completed his tasks each day.

After get off work, he returned home and enjoyed the attentive care of his maid, Nohara Rin.

In his spare time, he would also teach the extremely disobedient Scorching Release ninja, Yekura, a lesson.

It must be said that the environment in Sunagakure was truly harsh, and most of the ninjas who came out of there were tough as nails, preferring death to surrender.

However, Hiruko was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time to slowly wear her down.

However, Hiruko later paid no attention to these things, remaining immersed in his own world and frantically pursuing power.

His childhood experiences left a deep shadow on Hiruko, filling him with fear of the outside world.

Furthermore, as a time traveler, he has a clear understanding of the future. He can only possess Kage-level strength for a short period of time, so what is there to be proud of?

By the later stages of Naruto, there will be many Six Paths level powerhouses, so I need to hurry.

So he continued to devote himself to the pursuit of power, and along the way, he also created many good things.

In the dim underground of Konoha, an old man with a cane was hidden in the flickering candlelight.

He revealed one intact eye and looked at the kneeling subordinate before him, asking, "You said Orochimaru went to see Hiruzen?"

"Yes, we monitored Orochimaru entering the Third Hokage's residence and talking inside for a long time before leaving."

The ninja kneeling below lowered his head and answered respectfully.

"I see."

The old man nodded, watching his subordinates rise and leave, his eyes flickering, as if he were deep in thought.

......

An elderly man with a cane pushed open the door to the Hokage's office.

His cloudy yet shrewd eyes swept across the room. The Third Hokage was working, while the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was also silently handling his affairs.

After the old man's gaze met that of the third generation, it focused on the third generation.

"What brings you here?" the Third Hokage asked, taking a puff from his pipe.

"Why the recent crackdown on the grassroots?"

After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled, and said helplessly, "Do you know what Orochimaru did?"

"What can he do?" Danzo stood in front of the Fourth Hokage's office, glancing disdainfully at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was working silently.

"What does he want to do? I have a clear conscience," Danzo snorted and said seriously.

"Why do you think our teacher chose me to be Hokage instead of you?" The Third Hokage suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"That's only because you said that last line before I could."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage say those words, Danzo, who had been calm all along, suddenly became agitated and shouted angrily.

"No, because the teacher knows very well that you are someone who knows how to fight for profit but not how to compromise, and who is clever in some ways but completely disregards the big picture."

"A person with short-sighted vision and no long-term planning, becoming Hokage like this will only bring disaster to the village." The Third Hokage replied firmly and mercilessly.

Minato Namikaze watched the show from the sidelines.
