Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Finally, in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, he uttered, "Lord Hiruko..."

Kurenai's face immediately turned slightly red, with a hint of girlish shyness.

Hongdou seemed not to hear anything, focusing wholeheartedly on ordering food, huffing and puffing as she ordered large quantities of items.

She already knew that this restaurant belonged to Beiliuhu, and that he would definitely not let the two girls pay the bill, so they could have a big feast.

It's likely that Biluhu will end up paying for this meal anyway, so Hongdou is even more enthusiastic about ordering, intending to squeeze a hefty sum out of Biluhu.

Red Bean knows Hiruko very well; he has a bit of a macho vibe.

"Thank you for the compliment," Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile, bowing her head.

He couldn't help but think of Hiruko's eyes again.

"I've ordered, Kurenai. See if you have anything to add," Kurenai finally spoke, handing the menu, which was already mostly drawn, to Kurenai.

Kurenai glanced at the menu briefly and then ordered some vegetarian dishes.

Barbecue is too greasy, so she doesn't eat much of it, and she doesn't have many dietary restrictions when eating.

However, we always need to order some vegetables each time we eat there to balance out the greasiness of the grilled meat.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten at such a high-class place, so we ordered quite a lot at once," Hongdou said with some anticipation.

"If you can't finish it, you can pack it up and take it home," Hiruko said.

The dessert that Hongdou had ordered earlier was served. Without any hesitation, Hongdou picked up a bowl of strawberry smoothie, scooped out a big spoonful, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Hiruko smiled gently and looked at Anko, her expression like that of a manga character, radiating happiness.

Hongdou is indeed a lovely girl, but unfortunately she'll grow into a chubby bean in the future.

Hiruko sat there and picked up a string of three-colored dumplings to start eating.

The three of them began to discuss the current situation in Konoha.

After all, both of them are top figures in Konoha and can be considered descendants of high-ranking officials, so they are naturally very clear about some cutting-edge news.

The roasted meats were then served one by one, their colors a vibrant red and glossy. Combined with Bei Liuhu's superb grilling skills, these roasted meats naturally shone brightly.

While researching various plants, Hiruko also discovered certain special spices.

After research, it became his unique secret, allowing him to sweep through the barbecue restaurants in Konoha.

As soon as Hongdou saw the delicious roasted meat, she couldn't wait to put it on the grill and sprinkle it with the special spices made by Beiliuhu.

Hiruko also picked up his chopsticks and started fiddling with them.

The slices of roasted meat were placed on the grill one by one, and soon the very large round plate was filled.

The tender slices of meat sizzled on the stove, the oil rising faintly in the high temperature, and wisps of white smoke drifted between the three people.

The human gene has long been etched with a love for greasy flavors.

People are much happier when they eat barbecued food.

Hiruko also really likes barbecue, otherwise he wouldn't have opened this shop.

Hiruko, with her gentle and kind face but somewhat taciturn nature, did not leave a bad impression on Kurenai Yuhi, nor did she leave a particularly good one.

After all, Hiruko's reputation was simply too great.

For a conservative woman like Kurenai Yuhi, the Konoha Twin Wolves were still somewhat objectionable.

This girl in front of me is so heartless, such a big, silly girl, all she knows is how to eat.

"Lord Hiruko, your barbecue is really delicious." Red Bean didn't forget to call out to everyone, reaching out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Kurenai and also for Hiruko.

Hiruko looked at the guy in front of her who could eat even more than her, somewhat speechless, and couldn't help but say, "Aren't you afraid of getting fat if you eat like this?"

Red Bean proudly raised her slender arm and said earnestly, "This is just my constitution. There's nothing I can do about it. I can eat whatever I want without any problems."

"You know, I eat ten skewers of three-colored meatballs every day."

Hiruko couldn't help but think to herself, "You're going to be in trouble in the future!"

The three of them joked and chatted happily.

Hiruko also forgot the frustration in the laboratory and felt much more relaxed.

Hiruko was quite pleased to have met Kurenai Yuhi, the future female ninja.

This girl can't be left to that brat Asma.

After all, Sarutobi Mirai looks exactly like Uchiha Shisui. If there's some hidden reason, wouldn't the Sarutobi family line end?

It's better to accept this suffering than to endure it yourself.

Hiruko deliberately made a deep impression on Kurenai Yuhi so that they could make contact in the future.

After a busy day, Beiruhu was already quite tired by midnight.

He lay on the bed organizing his documents, quietly reading about psychic arts for a while until he felt dizzy and slightly tired.

Finally, he put down the scroll and began to slowly ponder the intricacies of spirit communication.

The problem here is quite significant. Other people's summoning techniques, or more precisely, their contracts with well-known and powerful summoning beasts, such as the giant toad, snake, and slug commonly used by the Sannin.

There are also other summoning beasts, such as the Third Hokage's Enma (sacred monkey) and Kakashi Hatake's ninja dogs, which are relatively less powerful.

Of course, some people also cultivate native animals into summoning beasts through domestication. These summoning beasts do not have a place to reside like Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, or Shikkotsu Forest.

There are even those like Hiruko, who can summon their clones at any time. These clones are entirely modified from his body cells, have extremely short lifespans, and are of little value, only suitable for temporary combat.

Most people rarely pay special attention to the summoned beasts, instead viewing them as powerful combat partners.

Of course, Hiruko doesn't reject this concept either. For example, Jiraiya himself has good talent, but he's not particularly amazing.

When Jiraiya was not yet powerful, it was the giant toad that came to his door to help him through the most difficult period of his growth.

They also taught him Sage Mode, a technique that even Orochimaru hadn't mastered.

The reason is unknown, but it is mentioned that it is related to the prophecy of the Great Toad Sage, who asked him to find the Child of Destiny.

Even Hiruko himself, a transmigrator, couldn't figure it out, so probably not many people could understand the mystery behind it.

Hiruko speculated that the Sage of Six Paths was hiding in the shadows and was probably the mastermind behind all of this.

Even so, Hiruko still noticed something amiss.

Putting aside the various forms of spirit communication and all sorts of unique secret techniques, the most crucial point has gone unnoticed by everyone.

That is the establishment of the spirit contract and the process of spirit summoning.

Since Hiruko has never actually seen them, the details of their contracts with those powerful summoning beast clans remain unknown.

However, there is definitely a big problem here!
