Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"You're just making up an excuse. You just want to help her, don't you?"

"...I am a married person."

"Your 'that' is also considered a wife."

"Hatsune is also my wife, and it has nothing to do with whether she is an adult or not."

"You idiot, don't say things I don't understand again!"

Yagura jumped up in protest—this little brat, his height is destined to remain the same for life.

But then again... Mei Terumi's words are really sweet.

After the Bird Country incident ended, Mei Terumi always had a faint sweet fragrance on her body.

Chapter 508

This sweet fragrance is rare; most of the time, he can only smell it on a few close friends and family members.

Occasionally, even ninjas from Konoha Village would have it on them.

He especially loves this smell; the moment he smells it, he can't help but feel hungry.

"...What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Mei Terumi looked up at Hiruko.

Hiruko and Yagura, those two idiots, can argue over anything, and Mei Terumi's marriage is a major disaster area.

However, the two of them tacitly avoided bringing up certain things, and after a while, Mei Terumi was almost desensitized... Of course, this didn't stop her from beating up those two idiots.

In the Hidden Mist Village, beneath the plum blossom tree, snowflakes are pure white, and Guanyin's long hair is visible.

Hiruko licked his lips, suppressing his inexplicable hunger, and looked away.

"Anyway, please help me find it as soon as possible... I definitely need to go back before the New Year."

"……it is good."

Neither of them said much, but Yagura sniffed and smelled a very familiar scent.

That's the sour smell of love.

Yagura was no stranger to this flavor.

Because he too once had a cheerful and innocent youth.

The past is all an illusion; memories are a road with no end.

However many years have passed, he can still remember that afternoon—he had just finished the war and was lying on the sickbed in Wuyin.

Due to a shortage of staff, his future wife is temporarily working as a nurse at the hospital.

He saw her for the first time, her body still stained with blood.

Her white nurse's uniform was so pure white, and the blood on her body was so fiery.

Thinking of this, Yagura sniffed again.

Like a little kitten stealing something, Yagura sneaked up to Kisame, who was traveling with her, and started whispering in his ear.

"What's going on with these two? How did they suddenly become so good... Did someone give them a push?"

"I don't know, I've been on a mission," Kisame said, indicating that he was unaware.

Yagura felt that he was probably not lying, after all, Kisame had always been like that.

but.

"Never mind, it's all good, it's all good..." "Let's just take it as the blessing of the successive Mizukage."

……

And so, Hiruko settled down in Kirigakure.

Because of the special nature of the Tenseigan, even though he was extremely anxious, he could only stay and try to resolve the situation slowly.

That night, Beiruhu had another dream.

In my dream, many people were gathered around a hot pot.

The atmosphere was very tense, though.

"As expected, I still can't accept this kind of thing..."

“What can we do if they don’t accept it? We’re already in this situation, and... we’ve already lived like this for the rest of our lives, we can’t just let the kids keep fighting.”

Overall, improving the treatment of all ninjas is also beneficial to the children... We established the ninja village hoping that children could grow up happily, not the other way around, shedding blood for the sake of the village... Besides, can you even defeat that monster?"

"Hmph... I know all too well... But... why do we have to rely on this special environment to teach him Water Release Chakra Nature Transformation? Those two have been dead for too long, so it's one thing if they're technically a bit behind, and they can only teach Yin-Yang Release... But those guys from Konoha, who can teach them?"

It feels like the relationship between the two sides is terrible.

They seem to be fighting over something.

"You are still more skilled in water-based ninjutsu."

"Then you should teach him Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation first, that won't work."

"None of us use this."

"Aren't you the Hokage?!"

"The Hokage is about to use fire-type ninjutsu."

"You can't say that, the monkey is still used..."

Hiruko quietly picked up a bite of food from the hot pot.

They were caught red-handed before they even started eating.

"Kid, I've finally caught you. You're not that monster anymore... Hey, you, explain to me what's going on between you and the Fifth Mizukage?!" The First Mizukage, Byakuren, grabbed Hiruko, his face contorted in rage.

"Um... um... we're very good friends..."

"Friends my foot! Do you think we don't know? She's better than that little girl from the Fourth Kazekage's family, isn't she? You want to marry her, don't you!"

I have a feeling that if I don't say YES today, I'm definitely going to get a beating.

"Um... I've already made a contract with the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage. If I rashly break it, I'm afraid... Besides, Mei Terumi and I... are really just ordinary friends, although we can have several children... get married and stuff..."

Several unkempt old men looked unfriendly.

However, Hiruko quickly came up with a solution.

"But you can have both a secondary lineage and a secondary lineage!"

Minato clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

"I told you, it was no challenge for him at all."

"Minato, you bastard..." What are you laughing at? Believe me, I'll make Naruto marry a hundred wives and drain him dry every day!

……

The next day, when Mei Terumi saw Hiruko again, she found that his head had turned into a pig's head, as if he had been beaten up.

Mei Terumi knew all along that Hiruko was a strange creature who often walked backwards.

But even so, it's still a bit bizarre.

"What's wrong?" Mei Terumi took out a village-made wound medicine from her office drawer.

—After all, it's a military organization, so it's bound to have plenty of these kinds of things.

"He committed too many sins, and finally even God couldn't stand it anymore."

"Let's not talk about that. Some old bastards want to solve the problem, they've already made up their minds, but what they say... They can't find the greatest common denominator, so they've come to me... I swear to the Valley of the End, but it's no use... Hiss..."

Hiruko's answer was as incoherent and illogical as ever, making it difficult to understand.

Fortunately, this has basically become part of his public persona.

Mei Terumi didn't ask any more questions. After treating his wounds, the two of them sat down in the office.

Hiruko maintained his dead fish-like expression, muttering strange things like "the fault of the past Mizukage" and "monkeys can climb trees."

Outside the window, plum blossoms continued to fall, and the snowlight reflected on Mei Terumi's profile, while that faint, sweet fragrance wafted over again.

His stomach was rumbling with hunger again.

Hiruko wrapped himself in his signature hooded cloak and, like a dutiful shadow secretary, helped Terumi Mei handle the mountain of official business.

He didn't want to go through all that trouble, but he simply couldn't ask about the Tenseigan directly.

He could only probe indirectly, using the most inconspicuous methods.

He was most afraid that the Reincarnation Eye would fall into the hands of the Elders.

Those old fogies are both prestigious and patient. If the Reincarnation Eye were to be used by them... Fortunately, they possess a sharp weapon, and their killing intent naturally arises.

With such an extraordinary treasure in their hands, it would be difficult for them to leave no trace whatsoever.

As long as Hiruko makes a slight attempt—of course, all of this must be done under the guise of helping Terumi Mei with her official duties.

Soon, the first ninja walked in.

Hiruko neither knows nor can help Terumi Mei with certain confidential matters.

However, if it's a regular mission... then I could lend a hand.

This ninja's job is advertising and promotion.

—After all, it was peacetime, and most of the bandits in the five great nations had been driven to suicide. Although they didn't send a special group of ninjas into the entertainment industry like Konoha did, the number of commercial missions was still surging.

The task was simple: it was a public service advertisement on the theme of maternal love. The document department had already drafted the text, and all the ninja had to do was print and post it. The reason why a ninja was chosen was because the difficulty of the task lay in the latter part, which was beyond the capabilities of most people.

Hiruko glanced at the proposal from the document department and found it too rigid, so he helped to revise it.

"Since I was little, I thought the most amazing person was my mother. She was not afraid of the dark, knew everything, cooked delicious meals, and managed life in an orderly manner. When I cried and didn't know what to do, I could only go to her."

"But I seem to have forgotten that the person I rely on was once a little girl who was afraid of the dark and shed tears, and who was clumsy and would prick her hand with a needle."

"The most beautiful girl, what makes you so strong? Is it time, or love?"

"—Time, please don't hurt her."

Although it's a very common subject matter, I do feel that Mei Terumi wrote it better than Hiruko... it even seems like she wrote it with genuine feeling.
