Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Due to the various situations caused by the Uchiha clan, Orochimaru temporarily shelved his plan to leave Konoha.

Given the excellent research conditions available now, it would be better to openly and thoroughly study these mysterious bloodline limits.

"Now, no one in the Uchiha clan can withstand the power of the First Hokage's cells."

I've heard that the Uchiha clan possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, a skill documented in ancient texts, hidden in the secret corners of history.

The most representative of them all is Madara Uchiha, who is said to be on par with the First Hokage.

In my opinion, if we want to completely defeat the terrifying devouring power of the First Hokage's cells, the Uchiha clan members who are the test subjects must at least have the ability to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Otherwise, they are not much different from other test subjects," Orochimaru said coldly.

At that time, Orochimaru had not yet reached the point of being completely unrestrained in his experiments.

More importantly, the Uchiha clan's influence is deeply entrenched and difficult to manage.

No one knows exactly how many pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan are hidden in this family, so there are very few opportunities to study the Sharingan.

"So, that's why you went to find Shisui?"

Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Heh, Shisui's potential is limitless. He might really have a chance to grow to the point of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"The Uchiha clan has always been known for its fanaticism. If they find out we're researching their bloodline limit, it's hard to predict what crazy things they might do!"

Hiruko was focused on perfecting her techniques, and at this critical juncture, there was naturally no need for her to provoke the Uchiha clan.

"Are you worried that I might take some harsh measures? You know, Danzo also collected the bodies of Uchiha clan members who died during the war."

"Don't worry. Although I don't know what the teacher is planning, as long as I can get more people on my side, that's fine."

As long as they see tangible benefits, everything is negotiable.

The Uchiha clan has always had an extreme thirst for power, and their clan's wealth is second to none in Konoha.

"As long as I can bring great power to the Uchiha clan, making a deal with them will be a piece of cake."

"Are you planning to use this project, which aims to help the Uchiha clan properly awaken their Sharingan, as a means of promotion?"

"Heh, Hiruko, you really do understand people better than I do! This excuse is absolutely brilliant." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with excitement.

In fact, it's not just the Uchiha clan; it's much easier to get something from other clans with bloodline limits than to squeeze anything out of Danzo.

After all, for ninjas, the pursuit of power is almost an instinct.

As long as they get the results they want, they can gain power by spending some money. It's an incredibly worthwhile deal.

At this moment, a maidservant who served Hiruko came over, carrying a special device on a tray.

Orochimaru couldn't help but show a look of regret, then got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Does someone as obsessed with lust as you still have a chance to achieve immortality?" Orochimaru pondered to himself.

Orochimaru thought to himself, if he could truly achieve immortality, he would grant this guy a chance.

After all, it's always better to have someone like-minded by your side on the path to immortality.

Hiruko put away the gentle smile she wore in front of others.

He took a specially made item from the maid.

Soon, the clanging of chains coming from the largest bedroom of Beiliuhu could be heard continuously.

Nohara Rin was pressed against the wall, listening intently.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, she covered her chest with her hands, her mind in turmoil, lost in thought.

The traumatic shadow of childhood.

The sight of his parents wailing in agony before his eyes had already dragged Beiliuhu, an ordinary person in his previous life, into an endless abyss of darkness.

Coupled with the immense pressure from scientific research, he could only vent his frustrations on Yekura time and time again.

When he vents his anger, the chilling chakra that often surrounds Hiruko is clear evidence of his twisted mind.

However, none of the insiders had any evidence. In the eyes of outsiders, Hiruko was definitely a compassionate and excellent medical ninja, a reliable senior.

The mechanical prosthetics he developed enabled countless ninjas to return to work, and some high-performance prosthetics even allowed ninjas with missing arms or legs to return to the battlefield.

Moreover, Hiruko only targeted ninjas from other villages, and none of the Konoha ninjas wanted to offend such a kind senior who had helped so many Konoha ninjas.

Besides, it's just a small matter. It's really wrong to deny a senior with a burning will of fire.

"Are you sure Orochimaru wants to visit me?" Fugaku Uchiha looked at Shisui in front of him, his expression somewhat hesitant.

Shisui nodded firmly and said, "It was indeed Orochimaru-sama who told me this himself."

A surge of joy welled up in Uchiha Shisui's heart. He felt as if he had become a bridge connecting the village's higher-ups and the Uchiha clan, which made him very happy.

Unable to contain his excitement, Fugaku Uchiha pressed on, "Did he say why?"

Although the Uchiha clan has made contact with the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Minato, who has just become the Fourth Hokage, has limited power.

If they could get in touch with Orochimaru, the benefits to the Uchiha clan would be immense.

Shisui replied, "Lord Orochimaru didn't say it explicitly, but I suspect it might be related to that newly established research department."

Shisui directly stated his guess.

Fugaku Uchiha nodded thoughtfully.

This research department was jointly established by Orochimaru and Hiruko.

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, agreed to the project mainly because Hiruko performed exceptionally well during the Third Shinobi World War.

The research department has attracted a lot of attention recently, with the patriarchs of various families all keeping an eye on it.

Compared to the previous Hokage, the clan leaders are more willing to consider the meaning behind this department.

The Research Department is not just Orochimaru and Hiruko's private domain; the newly appointed Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is also the direct manager of this department.

They have the authority to mobilize, recruit, and train the corresponding ninjas and personnel.

To date, only a handful of people in Konoha Village have held such power.

Orochimaru is indeed an unpredictable and difficult character to befriend, but Hiruko seems much more approachable.

"only......"

Thinking about Hiruko's unique hobbies, Fugaku Uchiha had a headache. How could he win Hiruko over?
