Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Fugaku looked at these old men, all of whom had come through the war.

The vast majority participated in the Third Shinobi World War, and some of the older ones even participated in the Second Shinobi World War.

For them, war was an integral part of life, and fighting the enemy did not frighten them.

But what they are worried about is the current situation in Konoha.

The newly appointed fourth generation leader is still too young, and they are always a little uneasy about him.

The Uchiha clan's loyalty to Konoha runs deep in their hearts.

For the Uchiha people, Konoha is more than just a village; it is their home, their roots.

The Uchiha clan harbors an indescribable sense of belonging.

If Konoha is in trouble, it's perfectly acceptable for the Uchiha clan to bleed them dry.

These clan elders had long been aware of this, especially after the Thousand Hands clan had declined.

Hiruko had already meticulously planned everything.

After receiving approval from above, he immediately began large-scale construction, building salt fields and salt processing equipment.

With the ninjas' abilities, plus the advanced technology provided by Hiruko, clearing land, paving roads, and building factories was a piece of cake; Hiruko even invented cement.

In just one month, a huge, modern salt factory was built near Konoha.

The factory workers were ordinary employees, not ninjas.

The establishment of this saltworks was part of the Biluhu plan and a deliberate social experiment.

This is the first step for Konoha to break free from the control of the Daimyo and transform itself from endless killing and foolish wars.

He wanted to see if this distorted world would change because of him; he wanted to become the world's reformer.

In the ninja world, no matter how technology and society develop, anything advanced may eventually be used for killing.

Rather than that, let Biljuk lead them to change the world.

As soon as Minato Namikaze gave the order, the entire Konoha leadership began to mobilize, contacting the Fire Country nobles who were acquainted with their families.

In the afternoon, Hiruko set off on her journey to the Nonou Orphanage.

Unlike other children who spent their childhood in orphanages, he was taken directly into Mito Uzumaki's home and raised by her.

After a period of training, Hiruko was handed over to the Third Hokage for care.

However, after that, Hiruko committed the most serious mistake of his life, which is why Mito Uzumaki always disliked him.

Mito Uzumaki also knew about the darkness and arrogance that filled Hiruko's heart.

only......

Hiruko shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Nonou, who was some distance away, hurried over and greeted him warmly, "Lord Hiruko, please come in!"

After saying that, she pulled Biruko into the orphanage.

Years of war caused the number of children in the orphanage to surge, making the orphanage's expenses very tight. Despite making several applications to the village, they all went unanswered.

After entering the orphanage, Hiruko carefully looked around the environment.

Despite the rather harsh conditions at the facility, the children still gathered together, some playing games in the rooms, others chasing and frolicking in the yard.

"The number of children in the orphanage has almost doubled this year compared to previous years, and the living conditions are simply unsustainable."

Nonou said earnestly, "We've submitted applications to the village many times, but perhaps because of the war, we haven't received a response."

"My employees and I also tried to raise funds from local businessmen. Although some kind people donated, it was only a drop in the bucket."

Hiruko nodded, then slowly said, "I can allocate some funds from the Academy of Sciences to maintain the orphanage's normal operation in the future."

Upon hearing this, Nonou's eyes lit up with surprise, and she thanked him repeatedly, "Really? Thank you so much, sir!"

She bowed repeatedly to Biluhu, her fair face full of gratitude, and the huge white bowl trembled as she spoke with exceptional politeness.

Hiruko continued, "However, my help will not come without a price. I plan to select some of these children and train them to become my support."

Upon hearing this, Nonou looked at Hiruko with considerable alarm and exclaimed, "Could it be the same cultivation method as Root?"

Hiruko shook his head and explained, "No, but it's practically my own force, and you'll be in charge of training them."

Hiruko continued to elaborate on his plan: "I will turn these orphans into my strength and spread my ideas to them."

"The ninja world needs change, and the power of the idea of ​​peace naturally needs to be widely spread."

Their mother, Nonou, will be one of the means by which Hiruko controls them.

Controlling one person is far easier than controlling a group of people; if you want to spread an idea, starting with their mothers is the most direct approach.

Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou lowered her head, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Lord Hiruko, could you...?"

She didn't finish her sentence, clearly not wanting the children to become tools, and most likely misunderstood Hiruko's meaning, thinking she wanted to train death servants.

Hiruko's gaze swept lightly over her, his peripheral vision catching the slight rise and fall of Nonou's chest.

He was a little taller than her, and his loose work uniform was supposed to cover everything up.

However, when the fabric occasionally clings to the body, the restrained curves can still be glimpsed.

In Konoha, perhaps only Tsunade's impressive figure can rival it.

Or perhaps the future youth of the young lady of the Hyuga family can be compared to hers.

But Nono is different—her fullness is hidden beneath her gentle demeanor.

Like a saint, outwardly dignified and holy, but the inner pages are badly burned.

"The orphanage will have sufficient funds!" Hiruko said, her voice a few decibels lower than usual.

"There will also be a... professional new dean." His fingertips unconsciously rubbed together, as if simulating another kind of touch.

"Of course, that's just a condition."

The two then began their date.

They spent a lot of time alone.

At first, their fingertips touched, but then his palm pressed against her lower back, and with the rustling sound of the fabric rubbing together, her breathing clearly skipped a beat.

The intimate probing gradually turned into tacit indulgence. When his fingers brushed across her lips, she didn't even flinch—she just gently bit them, leaving an answer more direct than words.

A pleasant date thus begins.

The two walked past Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha, and Hiruko stopped by for a meal. The taste was so-so, but it gave him a warm feeling.

Then let's go check out the women's bathhouse in Konoha...
