Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Even Hiruko was tempted by such a large sum of money, and he found it too difficult to make the decision.

But he was able to remain rational entirely because Konoha's usual income was already sufficient, even enough for him to pay off the war loans.

If it were any other major ninja village, they wouldn't consider these consequences. They would just stuff whatever benefits they could get, regardless of whether they would get sick or get beaten up later.

Therefore, a decision must be made on this matter as soon as possible, and we cannot let them continue to agonize over it.

"It seems that we still have some disagreements on this matter."

How about we hold a vote?

Wasn't the initial purpose of the Five Kage Summit to resolve issues in a way that didn't harm each other's harmony?

If everyone agrees to stop here, end this operation, and gradually clear out the inventory, please raise your hand; if everyone refuses, then…

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fourth Mizukage was the first to raise his arm, and the Kazekage, under Hiruko's long gaze, also slowly raised his hand.

After all, the Fourth Kazekage and Hiruko were father-in-law.

The leaders of Tsuchi-gakure and Kumo-gakure glared angrily at the three people in front of them. After exchanging glances, they finally gave up the argument.

"If you think this is feasible, then at worst we'll just earn a little less, how despicable!" the Tsuchi-gakure village leader said indignantly.

The leader of Kumogakure echoed this sentiment, knowing full well that the Fourth Kazekage's words were true.

If these small ninja villages can survive, the profits they bring to the larger ninja villages in the future will be far greater than if they were directly eliminated now.

After all, a hen that keeps laying golden eggs is much more valuable than one that is slaughtered and its eggs taken out.

Making money is perfectly acceptable, and even bearing some pressure for it is reasonable.

But if the war continues, the losses will be too great.

No matter how unwilling they were, they could only leave in a huff.

Even if they stop this conflict, it will still take a lot of time to clean up the mess; they still have a lot to do.

Yagura and Mei Terumi were the last to leave the venue. Looking at Hiruko, Yagura couldn't help but sigh and said, "You're still too impatient. You should have waited a little longer, until the people of this world are well prepared."

Hiruko shook his head and said helplessly, "I didn't expect this guy to grow up so fast. I originally planned to wait a few more years before taking action, but I was a bit greedy."

Hiruko watched the departing representatives of the ninja villages and couldn't help but shake his head. This was a lesson he had learned.

Once the evil of capital is unleashed, it will inevitably backfire.

He originally intended to unite the entire ninja world, so small ninja villages would naturally be within his sphere of influence.

This time, however, the damage to the small ninja village was indeed quite significant, and the subsequent work of appeasement was not easy.

Among this group, the one who understands Hiruko's thoughts best is Mizukage Yagura.

He was quite supportive of Biluhu's plan.

Konoha has earned a lot of money over the years, and even though the accounts haven't been settled yet, it's certain that some of the profits are already quite substantial.

However, Konoha also has many internal problems.

In the days to come, Hiruko will likely spend his time cleaning up the mess.

Fortunately, the people of the small ninja village did not suffer too many losses, which is a blessing in disguise.

The only saving grace was that with the withdrawal of the Great Ninja Village, the other wealthy merchants had no choice but to agree to give up some of their profits.

Ultimately, these wealthy businessmen are nothing more than a mob gathered together for profit, not of one mind.

Yagura's tone remained somewhat stern: "Although this problem is significant, you don't need to worry too much."

We are doing something unprecedented, and some mistakes are inevitable.

As the saying goes, it's better to make a mistake sooner rather than later.

No one can predict the future, but tangible benefits in hand are the key.

Let's take it slow; that's all we can do.

Throughout the entire process, Yagura was the one who understood Hiruko's thoughts the most, and he and Hiruko even shared essentially the same goal.

Let the people of the new era replace the ninjas of the old era and usher in a brand new era.

If Hiruko fails to grasp the situation in this new era, Yagura might also rise up and directly rebel against Konoha.

After all, Yagura, being an expert on the situation in the ninja world, still had another option for him.

Let Hiruko marry Terumi Mei.

When the time comes, their child, once integrated into Konoha, may inherit the power of the Mizukage lineage.

In this way, Konoha will unite with the country where Yagura is located, forming five major factions to jointly rule the entire ninja world.

Meanwhile, good news arrived: Hiruko's secret agents who had been sent out to find Jugo had returned.

The ninja world is neither very large nor very small.

Hiruko dispatched Hyuga Enba to inquire in some villages bordering the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice, searching for a newborn child named Jugo with orange hair.

After much trouble, it was finally found.

It is said that the child turned into a monster right after birth and even killed his mother.

The members of the secret service simply paid a fee to buy the child from the father.

When the secret agents saw the baby, they found that he was bound by a sealing spell.

However, this sealing technique doesn't seem to have much effect on Jugo, who still goes berserk from time to time.

However, he was just a child after all, and he was easily subdued.

Hiruko looked at the little guy, his rosy cheeks made him look like an ordinary baby, adorable in every way, but he would grow up to be ugly.

Jugo is indeed not as good-looking now that he's grown up.

Sealing techniques are meant to seal chakra, but they are naturally ineffective against Jugo, since this kid can absorb natural energy on his own and break free from the shackles of chakra with ease.

Hiruko reached out a hand and gently stroked Jugo, trying to control the natural energy within him.

Humans are surrounded by natural energy at all times, but usually...

Chapter 140 I cried!

These natural energies do not enter the human body.

However, Jugo was different from others; he could clearly feel that his body was different from that of ordinary people.

Natural energy can enter his body without hindrance and then be expelled on its own.

However, when the surrounding natural energy is too concentrated, his body will undergo abnormal changes.

Hiruko thought to himself that if this child fell into Orochimaru's hands, he would surely become his best experimental subject.

Jugo will also become a key figure in Orochimaru's research on important topics such as the Cursed Seal and Hashirama cell fusion.

It would be almost impossible for Orochimaru to hide a child who occasionally emits light from him in the village.

Although Hiruko had his own reasons for doing this, he would probably be very unhappy if Orochimaru found out that he was keeping it from him.

After all, this is related to his grand plans.

Hiruko approached Jugo only to obtain his method of controlling natural energy.

When Hiruko returned home, she saw Nonou chatting with Uchiha Mikoto.

Mikoto had visited several times before, and Nono also liked this gentle woman very much. The two got along very well.

Mikoto also visited the Uchiha family and often asked Nonou for advice on things to be careful about during pregnancy.

Nono had longed to conceive Hiruko's child countless times, but unfortunately, there was no reaction. It seemed that Hiruko's body had surpassed the limits of ordinary people.

As an ordinary person, she was incapable of conceiving a child with Biluhu.

"Mrs. Mikoto".

"Lord Beiliuhu!"

With a smile, Nonou asked softly, "Why are you back so early today?"

Hiruko walked up to her, bent down to kiss her, and said half-jokingly, "Wouldn't it be nice to come back and spend more time with you?"

Seeing this, Mikoto's face showed a strange expression, and she thought to herself.

The two of them completely disregarded her presence as an outsider; this is probably how young people express their love these days.

Nonou blushed instantly, gently pushed him away, and said reproachfully, "Stop fooling around, Mikoto-neechan is still here."

Mikoto smiled and joked, "Just pretend I don't exist."

Seeing that Mrs. Mikoto was about to turn and leave, Hiruko quickly spoke up to persuade her to stay: "Mrs. Mikoto, why don't you stay and have dinner with us, and add some liveliness to the meal?"

Mikoto smiled and said softly, "If I stay for dinner, those two little ones at home will probably be crying from hunger. I should go back now."

After saying that, he made a move to leave.

Seeing this, Nono quickly grabbed her hand and said affectionately, "Mikoto-neechan, I will definitely come to find you tomorrow."

“Okay, Kushina will be coming tomorrow too. I’ll introduce you to her. You two will definitely get along well,” Mikoto replied with a smile.

After seeing Mikoto off, Hiruko returned to the house and saw Nono lounging lazily in a rattan chair, looking relaxed and content.

She slowly opened her arms, her beautiful eyes gazing tenderly at Biruhu, gesturing for him to come and hug her.

Hiruko did not immediately step forward, but stood quietly in front of her.

He gazed intently into her smiling eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and teased, "Give me a hug first, then I'll kiss you."

Upon hearing this, Nono immediately started acting like a little girl, playfully retorting, "Give me a kiss first, then I'll hug you."

The two chatted and joked around, filling the room with a joyful atmosphere.

After a while of commotion, Nono leaned against Hiruko's chest and said coquettishly, "Lord Hiruko, you were really a bit reckless just now."

"Mikoto was just here, how could you act like this?"

"Although the whole village knows we're together now, I still feel a little embarrassed in front of others."

You'll get used to it gradually.

Upon hearing this, Hiruko pulled her into a princess carry and held her tightly in his arms. Then the two sat together on a recliner, swaying gently as the chair rocked.
