Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

In his past life, Hiruko hated Obito, that filial son. Minato and his wife treated him so well, but how did he treat his own master?

Hiruko had to give him a good beating.

Moreover, Nohara Rin is cute and has a significant role in the original work, so Hiruko plans to cultivate their relationship and win her over.

"Could you please keep an eye on that Yekura guy?"

"No...it's okay, I'll be careful!" Nohara Rin blushed instantly to the roots of her ears.

Yekura knew perfectly well how Hiruko had treated her.

Every day, Hiruko would torture Yokura in that humiliating way, trying to wear down her pride.

Just thinking about those embarrassing scenes made Nohara Rin's heart race, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

Furthermore, Nohara Rin had to help Yokura with her toilet duties every day.

This is also the only time this tough guy gets to rest each day.

Hiruko gently rubbed Nohara Rin's head, then lay down comfortably on the bed.

Soon the small figure climbed up and began to massage him with her soft little hands.

Under such a comfortable massage, Hiruko quickly drifted off to sleep.

Not long after, Hiruko frowned, as if he was having a nightmare.

Seeing this, Nohara Rin gently comforted him for a while, and stopped when she saw that Hiruko was sleeping more steadily.

After obtaining the experimental data he wanted, Orochimaru temporarily refrained from disturbing Hiruko's peaceful life.

He himself also needed some time to digest and organize the data that Biluhu had given him.

Danzo came to see him several times, wanting Hiruko to quickly produce more research results, such as how to safely apply the characteristics of Hashirama cells to the human body.

Danzo looked down on the human enhancement drug cultivated using inferior Hashirama cells.

However, if Hiruko can continue to produce valuable experimental results, then the time for him to obtain the true First Generation Wood Release will not be far off.

Hiruko readily agreed and even managed to swindle a large amount of experimental funding from Danzo.

As for the Third Hokage, he was currently in the process of handing over the Hokage position and was naturally very busy, so he had no time to pay attention to Hiruko's situation.

He was trying his best to familiarize Minato with government affairs, explain some high-level secrets that ordinary ninjas could not access, and handle various aspects such as the smooth transfer of power.

Maintaining a balance of power between ninjas and civilians is not something that can be achieved overnight.

In the days that followed, Hiruko diligently completed his tasks each day.

After get off work, he returned home and enjoyed the attentive care of his maid, Nohara Rin.

In his spare time, he would also teach the extremely disobedient Scorching Release ninja, Yekura, a lesson.

It must be said that the environment in Sunagakure was truly harsh, and most of the ninjas who came out of there were tough as nails, preferring death to surrender.

However, Hiruko was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time to slowly wear her down.

However, Hiruko later paid no attention to these things, remaining immersed in his own world and frantically pursuing power.

His childhood experiences left a deep shadow on Hiruko, filling him with fear of the outside world.

Furthermore, as a time traveler, he has a clear understanding of the future. He can only possess Kage-level strength for a short period of time, so what is there to be proud of?

By the later stages of Naruto, there will be many Six Paths level powerhouses, so I need to hurry.

So he continued to devote himself to the pursuit of power, and along the way, he also created many good things.

In the dim underground of Konoha, an old man with a cane was hidden in the flickering candlelight.

He revealed one intact eye and looked at his kneeling subordinate, asking, "You said Orochimaru went to see Hiruzen?"

"Yes, we monitored Orochimaru entering the Third Hokage's residence and talking inside for a long time before leaving."

The ninja kneeling below lowered his head and answered respectfully.

"I see."

The old man nodded, watching his subordinates rise and leave, his eyes flickering as if he were deep in thought.

......

An elderly man with a cane pushed open the door to the Hokage's office.

His cloudy yet shrewd eyes swept across the room. The Third Hokage was working, while the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was also silently handling his affairs.

After the old man's gaze met that of the third generation, it focused on the third generation.

"What brings you here?" the Third Hokage asked, taking a puff of his pipe.

"Why the crackdown on the grassroots recently!"

After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled, and said helplessly, "Do you know what Orochimaru did?"

"What can he do?" Danzo stood in front of the Fourth Hokage's office, glancing disdainfully at the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who was working silently.

"What does he want to do? I have a clear conscience," Danzo snorted and said seriously.

"Why do you think our teacher chose me to be Hokage instead of you?" The Third Hokage suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.

"That's only because you said that rearguard action before I could."

Upon hearing the Third Hokage say those words, Danzo, who had been calm all along, suddenly became agitated and shouted angrily.

"No, because the teacher knows very well that you are someone who knows how to fight for profit but not how to compromise, and who is clever in some ways but completely disregards the big picture."

"A person with short-sighted vision and no long-term planning, becoming Hokage like this will only bring disaster to the village." The Third Hokage replied firmly and mercilessly.

Minato Namikaze watched the show from the sidelines.

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke about this matter slowly and deliberately, completely disregarding the fact that Danzo had lost face in front of Minato Namikaze.

Danzo slammed his cane on the ground several times and roared, "You're talking nonsense!"

The veins on his hands bulged, and he was almost instantly enraged by his old friend.

"Look at what you've done! How dare you lay a hand on the villagers? First it was Sakumo, then it was Hiruko, and now are you going to attack me?" the Third Hokage retorted angrily.

Danzo's previous attack on Hiruko was no secret; at the time, Hiruko directly poisoned more than thirty of his ANBU members to death.

Although Hiruko had reconciled with Danzo over resource issues, the Third Hokage now wants to suppress Danzo's Root organization to pave the way for Minato Namikaze, so naturally the old issue has been brought up again.

It was also because of Danzo's support that Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength had grown stronger over the years, and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that he could not control her, which is why he angrily rebuked Danzo.

Danzo stared intently at the Third Hokage's furious face, then suddenly fell silent.

"The Hokage's Anbu will be responsible for maintaining peace in the village from now on. Your Root only needs to take care of things outside the village."

"Danzo! I'm warning you!"
