Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

A scorching wave of fire swept in, forcing Beiruhu to retreat!

"The Art of Concealment!"

Yekura's pupils suddenly contracted!

Chapter 104 Eating the Dessert Roll

She was very familiar with this ninjutsu!

"roll?!"

Amidst the smoke, a girl dressed in a black and white maid outfit swiftly formed hand seals, instantly creating a wall of fire that temporarily blocked Hiruko.

She turned around, revealing a familiar face—it was Juan, Yecang's former disciple.

"Teacher... let's go!"

Yekura's breath hitched.

"You're still alive?!"

Yugito stared warily at the scroll, the tailed beast chakra still lingering.

"she is……?"

Maki didn't answer, but anxiously grabbed Yekura's wrist.

"No time to explain! The underground drainage system runs directly outside the village!"

A flicker of hesitation crossed Yekura's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She grabbed Juan's hand behind her back, her voice low and stern.

"Why are you here? Why are you dressed like this?!"

“I was given to Hiruko by the Sand Village... and he has kept me by his side ever since.” She bit her lip.

Yekura's fingertips trembled slightly.

"So...you've been waiting for an opportunity?"

Juan nodded, her eyes filled with tears yet also with a smile.

“I knew you would come… just like when you saved me from the rogue ninja back in Sunagakure.”

"This time it's my turn to help you leave!"

The three quickly moved through the drainage channel, skillfully breaking the sealing spells along the way.

Suddenly, Yukito stopped in his tracks, his ears twitching slightly.

"Pursuers are coming!"

Juan's expression changed, and he quickly formed hand seals to sense the surroundings.

Yecang sneered, and the Blazing Release chakra condensed in his palm.

"Then let's fight our way out."

But Juan suddenly stopped her.

"No! If we start fighting, Konoha's Anbu will also be alerted!"

She quickly pulled a map from her pocket: "There's a fork in the road ahead, I'll lead them away!"

Ye Cang grabbed her shoulder with such force that he almost crushed her bones.

"Don't do anything foolish! I won't abandon you this time!"

A hint of warmth flashed in Juan's eyes, but she immediately shook her head firmly.

“Teacher…you taught me that a ninja must achieve the greatest victory with the least sacrifice.”

She gently pried Ye Cang's hand away. "Now, it's my turn to put that into practice."

Before she could finish speaking, she bit her finger hard, and the blood drew a talisman on the ground.

"Spiritual communication!"

"Bang!" After a puff of white smoke, countless explosive tags appeared on the ground.

The detonation tag hadn't even detonated yet.

Inside the passage, Yekura and Yukito had only taken a few steps when a figure suddenly appeared.

"Want to escape?"

Hiruko's figure appeared before them like a ghost, a cold smile on his lips.

At his feet was a scroll that had been directly sealed by Hiruko's sealing technique.

He held a long, black whip in his hand, with faint chakra spikes wrapped around its blade, clearly not an ordinary instrument of torture.

"It seems I've been too lenient with you."

Snapped!

The long whip tore through the air and lashed hard across Yecang's back!

She groaned, her Blazing Release chakra surging instinctively, but Hiruko's sealing technique immediately suppressed her resistance.

"Well……!"

"Ye Cang!" Yugito tried to step forward, but was forced back by another whip.

Bei Liuhu approached slowly, his long whip lightly tapping his palm.

"Two-Tails Jinchuriki, your chakra recovery is quite fast." He narrowed his eyes.

"Unfortunately, you can't even transform into a tailed beast right now."

Yukito gritted his teeth, a hint of humiliation flashing in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed his anger.

She knew that fighting back now would only make things worse.

Hiruko watched with satisfaction as the two men restrained their expressions, and raised his whip once more—

Snapped!Snapped!

The two lashes struck their legs, not fatally, but enough to cause muscle spasms and impair their movement.

“This is just a small reminder.” He leaned down, his voice low and dangerous.

"If you ever dare to have the thought of running away again... I will make you truly understand what it means to wish you were dead."

Ye Cang coldly raised his head, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes remained sharp.

"Ha...is that all you've got?"

Hiruko raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised by her provocation.

He reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"The Sunagakure's Scorching Release user is indeed tough." He chuckled.

"However, I'd like to see how long you can hold out."

After saying that, he suddenly let go of her hand and turned to leave.

"Get some rest. We have training tomorrow."

night.

Inside Hiruko's villa.

Her clenched fingers dug deeply into her palm, and blood seeped out from between her fingers, dripping onto the cold ground.

She stared intently ahead, where Ye Cang was suspended in mid-air by chains that wrapped around her pale skin.

Hiruko walked out slowly, her large white kimono draped loosely over her body.

His fingers gently stroked Yekura's cheek, and the latter abruptly turned her head away, only to be forcefully pulled back by his fingers.

"Your master... is more stubborn than I imagined."

He chuckled softly, his fingertips stroking Yekura's chapped lips.

"Unfortunately, even the most stubborn prey will eventually be tamed."

Juan's breathing became rapid, and her throat felt as if it were being burned by flames.

"Release her, Lord Beiliuhu." Her voice was hoarse, yet unusually firm.

Hiruko finally turned his gaze to her, his dark pupils narrowing slightly, as if he had discovered some interesting prey.

"Oh? Why should I?" He released Yecang and slowly walked towards Juan, each step feeling like he was stepping on her heart.

“I can take her place,” Juan said through gritted teeth.

"Replace?" Hiruko chuckled, reaching out to pinch her chin and forcing her to look up.

"Roll! Get out—!" Ye Cang suddenly roared, the chains rattling as she struggled.

Juan's eyes reddened, but she did not back down.

"I'm sorry, Master... I can't listen to you this time."

Hiruko's fingers slid down her chin, gently tracing the lines of her neck, and finally resting on her collarbone.

“I can consider pausing the torture on her…” he whispered, his breath brushing against her ear.

"As long as you...willingly become mine."

Juan's body trembled slightly, but she stubbornly refused to back down.

"If I agree... can you guarantee my master's freedom?"

"Don't believe him! Roll—!" Yekura's voice was almost torn apart, but the next second, Hiruko raised his hand and waved, and the chains suddenly tightened.

She groaned, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth.

Hiruko gently lifted Maki's chin with her fingertips, forcing her to look at Yokura's pained expression.

“Every time she spends time with me… I’ll spare her a day of torment.” His voice was gentle, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"It's a fair deal, isn't it?"
