Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

On the other side, Hiruko was somewhat suspicious, but still followed Danzo into the Hokage Building.

Upon entering the Hokage's office, Hiruko discovered that not only he and Lord Danzo were there, but also the two elderly advisors, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Not only was Orochimaru present, but Jiraiya and his apprentice Minato Namikaze were also there, and even Tsunade was there.

Besides, the heads and elites of various clans such as Hyuga, Uchiha, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka looked around and found that there were quite a few people in the Hokage Building.

"Hiruko, it's been a long time." Orochimaru stared at Hiruko with his cold, serpentine gaze, making Hiruko feel a chill run down her spine.

Both of them were research ninjas, and they knew each other too well. Orochimaru's gaze was definitely that of someone who wanted to dissect him.

Hiruko nodded and smiled, "Orochimaru, how's your research going lately?"

Orochimaru responded casually, "Not bad."

The two of them started chatting as if no one else was around.

Jiraiya, being the most outgoing guy, patted Hiruko on the shoulder in a very casual manner, put his arm around Hiruko's neck, and laughed, "Hiruko, long time no see! You're still the same."

Hiruko responded calmly, "Very good. With the village's support, we've taken another step closer to the truth!"

I can't connect with someone as talented as Jiraiya at all.

Although the two had become known as a lecherous duo, Hiruko had no interest in Jiraiya and found himself more in sync with Orochimaru, who enjoyed dissecting people.

Orochimaru, with a hoarse voice and his snake-like tongue lolling out, smiled and asked Hiruko, "Have you successfully developed your latest Life-Generating No. 1?"

Hiruko nodded and said, "It failed, but it's a great improvement for genin. Now we're just waiting for mass production."

"By then, the strength of Konoha's genin should see a qualitative leap. Although there may be some side effects, I believe everyone will not mind that."

Speaking of research, Hiruko couldn't help but recall his past research on interstitial cells.

That was a project spearheaded by the Third Hokage and Danzo, and overseen by Orochimaru.

At that time, Hiruko was just a newbie who had only participated in some of the experiments.

During that period, countless volunteers from the Senju clan sacrificed their lives, yet the success rate was zero.

Seeing no hope, the Third Hokage decided to seal off the research and forbid everyone from continuing the experiment, as he did not want to cause any more meaningless sacrifices.

However, once Pandora's box is opened, it can never be closed again.

While the Third Hokage was able to stop in time, Danzo, the "King of the Pot," would not, nor would Orochimaru, the Third Hokage's disciple, stop his research.

This outsider, Beiruhu, would certainly not let go of this opportunity for advancement.

You know, Hashirama cells are a key to immortality, how could Hiruko possibly miss out on them?

Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he smiled and said, "It's still too difficult for ordinary people to acquire the qualifications to become a ninja, but the byproduct should be pretty good."

"Your approach is very smart; instead of forcing yourself to use Wood Release, you focused on strengthening the body's fundamentals."

Orochimaru's meaning was very clear: Hiruko's actions had temporarily allowed the Third Hokage, that good-natured man, to open a back door.

"Moreover, your test subject attrition rate is significantly lower than mine, so it seems you cherish your test subjects very much."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his mind began to work. Since the body could be strengthened through Hashirama's cells, how far away could the strengthening of Wood Release be?

It's only a matter of time before this Wood Release power is applied to the human body.

Orochimaru couldn't wait to have a good chat with Hiruko after the meeting.

The power of the First Hokage, even if it were just to simply enhance an ordinary person, would be extremely tempting.

At this time, he was unaware that one of the lucky ones from the Wood Release experiments was still alive and had been secretly hidden by Danzo. He was now almost ten years old.

Hiruko waved his hand and said to Orochimaru, "I will give you a copy of the experimental data after the experiment is over."

Orochimaru nodded, then asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Hiruko chuckled and said, "If you're so inclined, help me capture a few more female ninjas."

No one present reacted after hearing this.

Hiruko, that ninja, is good in every way, except that he's a bit too lecherous, and he does it openly.

Unlike Jiraiya, who was a herbivorous lecher, Hiruko actually ate meat.

People are used to this.

My favorite game is Ninja in the Secret Room AVI.

Scorching Release: Pakura is still in Hiruko's villa. Hiruko arranged for Danzo to bring it back for her, and it is also Hiruko's favorite trophy.

After hearing Hiruko's words, Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.

Both Hiruko and Jiraiya pursued her.

Hiruko is the one who directly replaced Hiruko's existence by inhabiting his body and devouring his otherworldly counterpart, which is why he is much more handsome than Jiraiya.

With his handsome appearance, he directly overshadowed Jiraiya.

Tsunade initially had a good impression of Hiruko, feeling that he pursued the truth and had a somewhat unruly charm, and was more willing to follow his heart than Jiraiya.

However, when she learned that Hiruko's dream was to have a huge harem, Tsunade immediately chose to back down.

After all, she is the princess of Konoha; how could she tolerate such a frivolous person?

But Hiruko wasn't in a hurry. He was thinking that it wouldn't be too late to seduce Tsunade after he developed the Wood Release potion.

Tsunade, you don't want your Wood Release bloodline limit to flow to other clans, do you?

As for Kato's break?

That was no big deal at all, because the plot to seize the Senju princess had already been dealt with by Danzo, Hiruko's benefactor.

Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and teased in a hoarse voice, "Hiruko, you're still as generous as ever."

He was clearly quite satisfied with this old classmate.

With Hiruko's experimental data, he could completely manufacture Life No. 1, a kind of enhancer, to train his own people, and even go further.

Danzo, standing to the side, narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly plotting something.

"Hmph!" These guys are all birds of a feather.

Tsunade clenched her fists in annoyance, glaring at Hiruko with veins bulging on her face, as if she was about to punch him in the chest to show him the power of her little fists.

How could Tsunade not know what the two of them were discussing? They were talking about experiments related to her grandfather Hashirama's cells right in front of her, which made her furious.

I want to raise my fist and beat this guy to death. He was pursuing me back then, but he ended up dissecting my own grandfather!
