Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

But then, out of nowhere, Brother Tu touched me like that... Hiruko really couldn't understand why, even after things had come to this point, he would still choose to give up.

Normally, with emotions running high, shouldn't we fight first? As for right and wrong, shouldn't we deal with those after the fight is over? But Brother Tu is just too smooth, and we haven't even met him once.

Then Hiruko lost heart.

Once that momentum dissipated, he could no longer hold on.

His utterly exhausted body completely disregarded his will, allowing him to drift into a deep, infant-like sleep, much like a piglet that had been electrocuted.

Then... he had that strange dream again.

It was still those two old devils, and they were still beating him up.

However, this time, there were quite a few onlookers involved in the battle.

Some of the Beiliuhu knew him, and some he did not.

Among the group of people he knew were the First Hokage cheering him on, the Second Hokage with his perpetually expressionless face, and Minato, who was currently making out with Kushina... Minato, you bastard, you watched me get beaten up here and didn't even come to help!

It's decided, I'm going to turn Sasuke into a girl right now!

Perhaps it was because Hiruko's focus on scientific research and the fierceness and determination in his eyes were too intense that Minato ended his conversation with Kushina and turned around to cheer him on with Kushina. Hiruko was so engrossed in scientific research that he often uttered surprising remarks.

"...Hmph, that's more like it." Hiruko curled her lip slightly, muttering to herself.

Besides these three Hokage, there were a few familiar faces... to be precise, Hiruko knew them, but they shouldn't know Hiruko.

Because those were the previous three generations of Mizukage.

The first Mizukage, Byakuren; the second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu; and the third Mizukage… They seemed to be arguing about something, but Hiruko couldn’t hear them clearly. He was immersed in his research and was getting impatient with the noise around him.

These were all things Hiruko had learned about and understood while studying the ninjutsu systems of various countries, but those he didn't know...

"Being distracted in battle is always a big no-no, didn't your teacher tell you that!" Before Hiruko could react, he was grabbed by an old demon and slammed into his head with a tombstone nail.

It turns out that although Hiruko was a research ninja, he was inevitably drawn into the battle in this chaotic situation. He was so focused on the research data that he forgot he was in danger.

Hiruko's dream began to slowly dissipate.

Just as he was about to wake up from his dream, he heard two old monsters whispering to each other.

"Don't be too harsh. Being able to exchange more than two hundred moves with you is already quite impressive for someone your age," said an old witch.

"but……"

"He doesn't have the White Eye, which is unavoidable; he can't unleash the full power of the Soft Fist... Speaking of which, is there another White Eye on the moon?"

"...You mean that eye...?"

The dream vanished in an instant, and what first appeared at Hiruko's nose was an incredibly familiar, subtle fragrance of a woman.

And then there was that same incredibly familiar smoothness... it was his wife Nono's thigh.

I even wore white stockings today.

As Hiruko opened his eyes, what appeared before him was indeed the peaceful and serene face of Nonou.

The two were in a dark room with only a ray of sunlight filtering in from outside.

The dim sunlight fell on Nonou, making her look like a penitent nun, inspiring remorse in those who saw her.

"Actually, I know the Dark Angel's little secret... but it's all over now, because the Lion King has returned."

Hiruko had just woken up and started talking nonsense again. As a research ninja, his mind was full of strange and unusual ideas.

"Ah, and there's also the matter of fish..." Nonou showed a helpless yet doting expression.

Chapter 449

If someone suddenly starts talking nonsense, others will definitely think they've lost their mind.

But Beirut didn't have this problem, because he would say witty and strange things every day, and the people around him got used to it after a while.

If one day Hiruko were to become truly serious and unsmiling, then... that would be a really big deal.

For example, in the past week, he devoted himself to a new scientific research experiment, remaining silent and taciturn, which frightened everyone.

Nonou always knew that Hiruko loved cute things.

If conditions permit, he would choose to slack off forever, spending all his time researching interesting ninjutsu and scientific research projects.

However, as the Hokage, he inevitably has to do some things he has no choice but to do.

Nono extended her palm and interlocked her fingers with Hiruko's.

Dating the Hokage isn't easy, because he always has too many things on his mind, especially scientific research problems and the village's development plans.

But at the very least, she knew that at this moment, he still had her in his heart.

After cuddling together for ten minutes, Nono started to get down to business.

It wasn't that Nono didn't want to spend more time with her lover, but... she knew he really wanted to know what had happened outside while he was unconscious.

Hiruko wasn't injured in this battle, since only Yagura and Zero-Tails got hit.

"A rebellion has broken out in Kirigakure. Mei Terumi, in alliance with other Mizukage factions, launched a purge in the village and successfully took control of the situation. She is now heading towards Konoha to invite Yagura back to the mountain."

The high-ranking ninjas who came with Yagura this time were very emotional because they were not from the Mizukage faction... However, with the joint mediation of the Third Hokage, the Kazekage, and the Tsuchikage, they did not dare to engage in direct combat..."

Hiruko was unconscious for three days, and a lot really happened.

As for the Imperial Trial itself, the daimyo of the Land of Water was naturally furious—Yagura was defeated far too quickly, and even a layman could see the huge gap between the Hokage and the Mizukage.

Hiruko rarely showed his full strength in front of outsiders. As a research ninja, he was more accustomed to using clever methods and unique ninjutsu to solve problems, which led many people to have a wrong estimate of Hiruko's true strength... The Daimyo of the Land of Water may not care about the life or death of the Mizukage, but he absolutely could not accept being slapped in the face like this.

Previously, they could still offer an explanation for Yagura's refusal to participate.

Now even Yagura has been defeated, and defeated so badly. The daimyo of the Land of Water's eyes are really like they want to devour someone... This isn't just hitting Yagura, it's clearly hitting his face.

Although Yagura was forcibly transferred here, the daimyo of the Land of Water didn't care about that.

When Yagura goes back, he'll definitely make things difficult for him.

However, this is not a big problem. After all, after this mess, Yagura certainly can't continue to be the Mizukage. It's like having too much debt to worry about.

Besides, the people of the Land of Fire and Konoha were very satisfied with the result.

As for the others... Hiruko taking out the Box of Bliss was already going too far, but he even used the Zero-Tails... The ninjas, on the other hand, remained calm. After all, most ninjas nowadays are highly practical fighters. As long as they can effectively defeat the enemy, they wouldn't object even if you used a truck-style technique or a nuclear bomb technique.

You couldn't defend against it? That's because you're bad at it.

There is no such thing as foul play on the battlefield.

Yagura can use the Three-Tails, so why can't Hiruko use the Zero-Tails? The people who really have objections are people from other countries... Luckily, the organizer is Konoha, so take it or leave it.

Hiruko quickly went through the information in his mind, and soon finished organizing it, finding the part that interested him the most.

"Wasn't Mei Terumi imprisoned? How did she launch the coup? Who helped her?"

"It is said that Zabuza Momochi was inexplicably restless and couldn't sleep, so he started wandering around and eventually ran into Mei Terumi, who had just escaped from her cage and was completely defenseless... So Zabuza Momochi helped her out." This is truly outrageous—an outrageous mother opening the door for an outrageous person.

Who the hell would go to jail if they couldn't sleep?

And Zabuza actually helped Mei Terumi... well, this guy does seem to be an anti-blood mist faction after all.

Zabuza Momochi's fearsome reputation largely stemmed from his Blood Mist Policy—even people from outside the village knew that there was a ruthless person who killed all his classmates upon graduation.

But judging from his later actions, he actually did not approve of the Blood Mist.

In the original work, he once launched a rebellion against Yagura because of this.

Before he died, he even shed tears because of Shiro... He said he didn't care, but deep down he still longed for his companions.

The Blood Mist actually existed back in the time of the Third Mizukage, but Yagura in this timeline stopped using it for various reasons.

But due to Tu Zi Ge's intervention, it was restarted.

While everyone was filled with hatred, some were also puzzled... Since it was all Tu Zi's doing, there seemed to be no need to continue targeting Yagura? After all, he was also a victim.

Hiruko didn't know the specific details. As a research ninja, he was more concerned with the cause-and-effect logic and the use of power behind things. But anyway, the result was that Zabuza not only didn't kill Mei Terumi who had just escaped, but also chose to help him.

Tu Zi Ge probably wanted to cause trouble, so when Yagura left, the people left behind in the village were mostly from the Mizukage faction.

These people naturally became Mei Terumi's best helpers.

As for Kisame... he chose to leave the game running.

However, at that time, the Mizukage faction was the most powerful in Kirigakure. His AFK stance was equivalent to not wanting to help either Nobita or Gian when they were fighting—it seemed like he was neutral, but in reality, not helping Nobita was equivalent to helping Gian...

Hiruko felt that this coup was unusually bizarre and illogical no matter how he thought about it.

But that's how it was completed.

As for where Tu Zi Ge went, why he abandoned the nearly completed plan, and disappeared... no one knows.

There was nothing he could do. He could plant spies around Nagato, since Nagato's thoughts and actions followed certain patterns, but he was truly helpless against Obito.

Obito's behavior was too bizarre and full of variables.

He can't possibly turn Black Zetsu against him, can he? Black Zetsu, with his mother complex, has no weaknesses and is impossible to cooperate with.

For a time, numerous problems arose, and even Beiliuhu could not figure them out.

He pondered it for a long time, and finally chose to give up.

"No matter what... I'll go check on Yagura first." According to the agreement between Hiruko and Mei Terumi, if he rescues her and preserves the Mizukage faction, she will be willing to ally with Hiruko.

But the current situation... actually, even without Hiruko, Terumi Mei had succeeded.

If Mei Terumi continues with this plan, the only problem might be that she won't be able to protect Yagura.

Now that Hiruko has saved Yagura and helped Mei Terumi achieve the best outcome, what about their promise...? Hiruko feels that she needs to talk to Yagura.

...At Nonou's insistence, Hiruko sat in a wheelchair and was pushed to Yagura's special care ward.

Yagura was badly injured—Hiruko's kick was not easy to take.

Even if Pain ate it, he would get a herniated disc.

However, it's impossible to say that one kick would kill Yagura... When Hiruko and Nonou entered the special care ward together, they saw a pitiful little boy wearing a hospital gown, his eyes rolled back, and his mouth spitting out souls.

"...Even if he's the Mizukage, there's no need to treat him like this, is there?" "We didn't treat him badly."

The current appearance of the Mizukage was so comical that Nono couldn't help but laugh. "He turned into this as soon as he came in."

It turned out to be the case.
