Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Without sufficient acid resistance, one probably wouldn't even be able to stand on this swamp.

Tsunade immediately offered to scout ahead for Hiruko.

She then formed hand seals and unleashed the Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique.

From her body, a wooden pattern in the shape of a human figure extends from her shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, these wood grain patterns quickly took shape and landed, instantly transforming into a wooden clone that looked exactly like Tsunade.

These wooden clones all headed straight for the center of the swamp.

Seeing this, Hiruko felt quite gratified.

Tsunade's mastery of Wood Release is becoming increasingly proficient. After several more adjustments and training sessions, the gap between her and Hashirama Senju will likely narrow.

However, as the wooden clone ventured deeper, an unexpected event occurred.

The surface of the wooden doll quickly emitted a hissing sound of corrosion, and in no time, the surface was eroded into pits and bumps.

Its movements became increasingly sluggish, and the white-yellow acidic fumes emanating from its body grew stronger. Just a few minutes later, the wooden clone collapsed with a "thud".

In the end, only some residue that was difficult to see with the naked eye remained.

Seeing this, Hiruko couldn't help but frown.

He originally planned to use his clone to test the waters, but Tsunade made the first move.

Moreover, judging from the results, the danger here seems to be much greater than he had anticipated.

In such a highly corrosive environment, one would likely be completely eroded after just a few steps, never even seeing the Slug Immortal, let alone learning any immortal arts.

"Don't rush in recklessly, that would be utterly presumptuous." Tsunade immediately turned around and reprimanded Hiruko with a stern expression.

She didn't want her man to perish here.

"Don't think that just because you've mastered so many ninjutsu, you've become a rare master in the ninja world and can walk around here with impunity." Tsunade's seemingly stern reprimand was actually full of concern.

This is enough to prove that in Tsunade's heart, Hiruko's safety is of utmost importance and must not be allowed to happen.

After hearing this, Beiliuhu also began to reflect on his actions.

I have indeed become a bit arrogant lately, and I should take this as a warning.

The safest approach right now is to find a way to overcome the corrosive nature of this strong acid.

While Tsunade continued her tirade, Hiruko had already devised a solution.

In the ninja world, there are naturally ninjas who can overcome the corrosive effects of strong acids, such as Mei Terumi from Kirigakure.

That's right. As long as you obtain Mei Terumi's Lava Release and Boil Release bloodline limits, then all acidic gas will be like ordinary fog to Hiruko, causing no harm whatsoever.

Although Hiruko looked down on Lava Release and Boil Release, it was perfectly fine for her to temporarily buff herself.

Hiruko immediately decided to change course and head to Kirigakure.

Once I get my hands on a sample of Mei Terumi's bloodline limit, I'll study the principle behind her acid resistance. Then, I can give myself a temporary injection of her bloodline and easily resist acidic environments.

Hiruko and Tsunade quickly headed to the Land of Water.

At this moment, the mist of the Land of Water was like a thin veil, gently enveloping the harbor, and the air was filled with the salty smell of the sea breeze.

Hiruko stood on the deck, his silver-white hair fluttering slightly in the wind.

"This place is always so damp." Tsunade stood beside him, her golden ponytail slightly disheveled by the sea breeze, and couldn't help but complain.

"I really don't understand why a factory would be built in a place like this."

Hiruko's lips curled up slightly as he explained, "It is precisely because of the special environment that the medicinal herbs and mineral resources of the Land of Water are so precious."

"If this negotiation is successful, Konoha's industrial level can be improved by at least 30%."

At night, Hiruko dragged Tsunade and they started having sex right there on the small boat.

Simply place a shielding magic circle around it and you're done.

The two began their battle under the moonlight, which made Tsunade's skin appear exceptionally fair.

Hiruko made the first move, his hands quickly forming hand seals—

"Steel Release: Indestructible Vajra!"

"Hmph!" Tsunade, who was lying on the ground, snorted coldly.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"

boom--!!!

The high-pressure water blade slashed out like a sharp sword, instantly striking Hiruko's steel-style armor!

Hiruko's steel shield was swallowed by the surging water, the entire ship shook violently, and the deck was almost washed away!

"A mere trick!" Biluhu sneered, his arms hardening into steel.

"Steel Release: Vajra Pestle!"

He withstood the impact of the water, but Tsunade's offensive did not stop!

"It's not over yet!" She formed another hand seal, and her chakra erupted—

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A colossal wave suddenly appeared out of nowhere, sweeping across the entire ship like a tsunami!

One night passed.

Hiruko climbed up from Tsunade's magnanimous embrace.

After a quick wash, Hiruko and Tsunade arrived safely at Kirigakure.

This village, shrouded in mist, is nestled against the mountains and beside the water. The trade routes of the Land of Fire even extend to the coast, where a dock has been built.

Specialties from Kirigakure can also be transported to Konoha for sale through this dock.

To Hiruko's surprise, the person who contacted Kirigakure about the matter was none other than Mei Terumi herself.

Does Yagura really trust me? Isn't she afraid I'll just run off with her?

"You must be Lady Tsunade. I've heard plenty of stories about you around here." Mei Terumi bowed politely to Tsunade, her eyes full of curiosity.

Anyone who sees a legendary figure appear in person before them would inevitably feel curious and want to explore.

Tsunade did not attend the last Five Kage Summit, so Mei Terumi had never met her before.

Mei Terumi was a rare beauty, but she was still slightly inferior to Tsunade.

After all, Tsunade's stunning figure is something Mei Terumi can't compare to.

Due to a combination of factors, Mei Terumi also put away her usual casualness and became more polite.

Hiruko casually glanced at both sides of the road.

Clearly, the ninjas of the Land of Water also chose to befriend Konoha Village, as the architectural style along the roadside was influenced by Konoha Village.

Hiruko's gaze fell upon the building at the end of the road, where a tall building with the word "water" written on it came into view. That was the power center of Kirigakure, the village of the Land of Water.

He had two purposes for this trip: one was to find a way to obtain the Three-Tails' chakra, and the other was to meet Mei Terumi in front of him.

To be precise, it's the two bloodline limits within her.

The goal will be achieved if we can figure out how these two bloodline limits can restrain acidic substances and modify ourselves to shield against acidity.

Of the five bloodline limits that Hiruko possessed, he actually looked down on the Lava Release bloodline limit.

While Mei Terumi can ignore most acidic substances and acidic chakra, her body also becomes quite troublesome.

Her saliva and secretions could easily infect others, which made many men who wanted to get close to her keep their distance.

After all, this kind of constitution is really too terrifying. If you are not careful, you may end up with a little brother inside, and become a headless little brother.

This is one of the reasons why Mei Terumi is still single, and this has even continued into the Boruto era.

So how can one minimize potential harm when engaging in in-depth conversations with Mei Terumi?

There are roughly three methods.

One is to obtain the same bloodline limit as her.

Secondly, it allows one's body to evolve directly, gaining defensive capabilities similar to a bloodline limit.

The third type is Hiruko's temporary medicine, which temporarily gives him the ability to resist acid.

Hiruko had dealt with the Mizukage Yagura many times before, and the two were quite familiar with each other.

Hiruko walked over casually. Yagura had a boyish face and was only a little over 1.4 meters tall. His childish voice didn't quite match his appearance.

Tsunade, who had also interacted with Yagura, was naturally not curious.

In reality, Yagura was already quite old, in his prime, though he was exceptionally handsome, with looks comparable to Pan An.

Looking at that youthful face, Hiruko naturally wouldn't show any contempt on his face, after all, he was planning to set up a factory in the Land of Water.

So Tsunade, Hiruko, and Yagura, these three seemingly rejuvenated individuals, sat down directly.

After some polite greetings, the two sides got straight to the point.

Hiruko looked serious and said, "I have come to the Land of Water this time hoping to invest here and establish a factory."

The negotiations took place in a conference room on the top floor of the Water Shadow Tower.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the entire Hidden Mist Village shrouded in a thin mist, appearing and disappearing in the mist.

“Regarding the location of the factory, we prefer it to be on the southeast coast.” Yagura unfolded a map.

“There are existing port facilities there, and transportation is convenient.”

Hiruko pretended to be carefully examining the map, but in reality, her eyes were constantly fixed on Mei Terumi.

She was pouring tea for them, her movements elegant and precise, handling every detail perfectly.

“This location is indeed ideal.” Hiruko nodded in agreement.

"only!"

Suddenly, he deliberately knocked over the teacup, and hot water instantly spilled onto the table.
