Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

Minato Namikaze continued, "The mission should focus on cautious cooperation. As for whether to pursue them, that depends on Nagato and Konan's subsequent performance."

"I've decided to dispatch six Konoha Anbu squads and twenty Jonin squads to carry out this mission. Jiraiya, you should join in too."

"Ok!"

Jiraiya knew very well that this was the last chance Minato Namikaze was giving him.

He agreed without hesitation, knowing in his heart that only by bringing Nagato back to Konoha could he survive.

Konoha today is far stronger than it used to be, and its power has grown even larger since the Uchiha clan joined the Anbu.

Even with the Rinnegan, Nagato wasn't sure he could escape unscathed from such a lineup.

"There's one more thing. Hanzo must also know the importance of the Rinnegan, otherwise he wouldn't have attached so much importance to it."

"Furthermore, Konoha also needs to consider its relationship with the Land of Rain," Minato Namikaze paused, then continued.

“Dispatch a diplomat to the Land of Rain to closely monitor the situation there and guard against Hanzo from the Land of Rain taking action to capture Nagato and Konan.”

"In addition, recall Danzo."

Although Danzo has no official position since the controversy surrounding the Hokage succession ceremony, he still wields influence in the village, and his every move still represents Konoha.

That's right. The main problem is that he acts too impulsively. Last time, not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also brought a powerful enemy to Konoha.

As Hiruko said, he did make a lot of contributions by recruiting some bloodline limit ninjas, but Danzo's way of doing things was really inappropriate.

He went out to help, and in the end, he even took half the blame for Hanzo.

If all the ninjas in Konoha acted like him, Konoha might as well disband; sooner or later, it would be besieged by various forces.

Six ANBU squads, twenty Jonin squads, plus a Kage-level ninja—this lineup is already the setup for a small-scale battle.

Members of the Anbu are at least Chunin level, and it is difficult for ordinary Chunin to be selected.

The captain of the Jonin squad naturally possessed Jonin-level strength, and there were no mediocre individuals among these twenty Jonin squads.

In other words, Konoha dispatched a total of thirty Jonin, plus several Chunin and one Kage-level ninja for this pursuit operation.

Minato Namikaze's cautious demeanor stemmed from his hearing about the Rinnegan, which is why he dispatched so many people.

The only thing that frustrated him was that the Akatsuki were active in the Land of Rain, and Konoha sending so many ninjas into the Land of Rain would probably cause Hanzo's dissatisfaction and refusal.

However, Minato Namikaze also devised a countermeasure—negotiation and threats were carried out simultaneously.

Konoha needs the support of Amegakure, and Amegakure also cannot do without Konoha; otherwise, Hanzo would lose many benefits.

The meeting lasted for almost the entire morning before it came to an end.

After the meeting, Jiraiya went to recuperate from his injuries.

Fortunately, with Tsunade and the Uzumaki clan around, his injuries healed quickly and he is now basically fully recovered.

After all, with the healing abilities of both sides, Jiraiya's injuries were quickly healed to about 70-80%.

The personnel configuration that was just discussed will soon be put into action.

There are differing opinions on the division of responsibilities for tasks such as combat tracking and medical logistics.

Minato Namikaze quickly responded to Danzo's actions, while Sarutobi, Homura, and Utatane were completely thrown into disarray and failed to reach a conclusion after a long discussion.

Minato Namikaze displayed an extremely firm and fearless will.

After all, he had the unwavering support of Beiruhu behind him, so he showed no fear when facing those old fogies in the village.

Moreover, these old folks are becoming increasingly marginalized in the village; it seems that their presence or absence makes no difference.

They even attempted to blackmail them with a strike, unaware that if they did so, their dismissal would only be a matter of time.

Now, the only thing Hiruzen Sarutobi can do is to bring Danzo back as soon as possible.

It's important to know that Danzo had more than just Root ninjas under his command.

Moreover, the Shimura clan still has a strong foundation in the village. If Danzo leaves the village, the Shimura clan's future development will be extremely difficult, they will be tightly bound, and their path to development will be completely blocked.

The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic, as if everything is gradually slipping out of control.

However, this is not a problem, as the Akatsuki organization is all bark and no bite, and has not yet taken any real action.

In contrast, Hiruko's illusion magic, granted by the bloodline of the Kurama clan, is becoming increasingly powerful.

He could easily control those tailed beasts with just a glare, his illusionary abilities had reached a level of unparalleled mastery.

Hiruko recently notified the Daimyo's government, hoping that the Daimyo would support the construction of a ninja amusement park in the village.

After all, there are many noble families in the country, and he hopes to attract everyone's attention with this ninja amusement park.

The Daimyo granted Hiruko's request and built a ninja amusement park on the edge of Konoha.

The park not only features a variety of ninja games and a wide array of related merchandise, but also other entertainment venues.

Furthermore, Birukho also took advantage of the situation to acquire surrounding land plots, intending to develop them gradually in the future.

During this month, this was the busiest thing for Beiluhu in the village.

Although there is a huge gap in strength between ninjas, Hiruko's own strength has entered a stage of steady growth, so he began to think about other things.

He considers his greatest achievement to be being able to fall asleep at night with both Tsunade and Nono in his arms.

Despite Tsunade's reluctance, Hiruko pulled Nonou to her side while she was asleep.

Nonou is gentle by nature and never refuses Hiruko. After their first intimate encounter, the two naturally became a couple.

----vvip----

At first, Tsunade was filled with resentment but powerless to resist and could only let Hiruko do as she pleased.

However, they both shared a common regret: they were never able to conceive after being with Hiruko.

Tsunade deeply desires to have a son. If she does have a child, she plans to dedicate herself to being a good wife and mother and managing the family in an orderly manner.

Hiruko harbored a faint suspicion that he might have transmigrated to this world in his original form, thus creating a reproductive barrier between him and the humans of this world, making it highly likely that he would be unable to have children.

He realized this as early as when he was studying his own cells—that he was completely different from the ninjas.

The total number of human cells is limited, and the total number of cells of an ordinary human in the ninja world is about twice that of a human on Earth. However, the total number of cells in Hiruko's body is three times that of a human on Earth.

this means.

Chapter 144 Tsunade!

He directly devoured his counterpart from another world. From a biological perspective, he no longer belongs to the same race as Tsunade and Nono, so it is not surprising that he cannot have children.

Fortunately, Tsunade and Nono are still young, and since they can live forever in the future, it doesn't matter whether they have children or not.

If all else fails, Hiruko could use the DNA of the two people to clone a baby.

Beiliuhu turned over and cursed again.

It has to be said that Tsunade's figure is truly top-notch.

We continued riding into the night.

Life is not always smooth sailing for ordinary people in the ninja world.

Due to the soaring price of millet and the difficulty in purchasing it, the little millet we had painstakingly stored up was quickly consumed.

As usual, Xiao Nan was making explosive tags at home.

After more than three months of seclusion, Pain finally emerged from his hermitage and arrived at a small village in the Land of Rain.

His purpose in making this trip was to check whether the price of millet had fallen.

If the price drops at night, I'll buy more; if the price is right, I plan to carry a few more bags of rice home.

As a small country, the Land of Rain has always been a victim of the power struggles among major nations.

Even though they did not provoke any trouble, they still had to endure the bullying of major powers and even become their battlefield.

Former Amegakure leader Hanzo the Salamander would stand up and fight against the enemy to secure many rights for Amegakure.

But now, Hanzo has become unusually weak. Ever since he was brutally beaten by Nagato, he has completely lost his former ambition.

Life became harder every day, and the villagers felt as if they were living in hell.

However, life must go on.

Ordinary people are like weeds. Even if they have just experienced a natural disaster, as long as the disaster is over, they will struggle to absorb even the slightest bit of nutrients from their surroundings and strive to grow upwards.

The poor villagers didn't understand economics, nor did they understand why the price of millet had risen so high, even though it was just a slight drought.

They don't understand the cruel rules of this world, nor do they try to find out the reasons behind them. They just quietly get up early and go to bed late, diligently cultivating their own small plot of land.

They had only one simple wish: that when the land was passed down to their son, he would have a few more plots of land; that would be the best thing ever.

Pain walked the ninja world and saw all of this.

The world he saw was like the hell he had imagined, yet at this moment, a glimmer of light seemed to shine through that hell.

Some villagers from the Land of Rain are discussing going to work at the factory that Konoha has opened in the Land of Rain.

Some radicals even planned to leave the Land of Rain and go to Konoha to make a living.

"Why don't we go to Konoha?"

"As long as you can pass Konoha's test and become a resident, you can not only get free housing based on the population, but I also heard that as long as you are willing to work, you can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a month."

"More importantly, it's about safety. Once we become residents of Konoha, no one will dare to bully us anymore."

"Konoha, lately everyone's been talking about Konoha. It seems like they've produced a really great scientist and are developing very rapidly."

"Most importantly, this scientist seems to have great compassion for us ordinary people. He often comes into contact with them, and some of the things he researches are even beneficial to ordinary people."

"I heard that Konoha has improved a wheat variety, and the yield has increased three to five times compared to the original."

"It's a pity that the seeds only grow in Konoha and didn't spread here," someone muttered quietly.

Then the man said mysteriously, "I heard that the scientist who made this happen is a bastard, a lecher, and he's always chasing after women."

"But then again, whether he's a womanizer or not, what does it have to do with us?"

“He can have as many women as he wants, and we can still get high wages from his factory.”

"The price of millet skyrocketed before, and it's said that he was behind it. How could that be false?"

"Hey, hey, hey, use your brains! He's a great scientist from Konoha, he has so much money and women at home, why would he care about our little bit of money?"
