Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

"Simply put, the V bacteria in Miss Orchid's body have reached a certain balance with her body cells," Hiruko patiently explained. "They do not interfere with each other, and even depend on each other."

The V-bacteria helped Miss Orchid enhance her physique, granting her superhuman abilities; and Miss Orchid's body also provided a suitable environment for the V-bacteria to thrive, like a harmonious ecosystem.

On the holographic screen, the V bacteria shimmering inside Orchid-Li's body were peaceful and serene in her abdomen, forming a strange and beautiful scene, as if it were a painting carefully drawn by nature.

"What about Sheryl?" Art asked anxiously, his eyes filled with worry. "Why is her condition so bad?" The V bacteria in Sheryl's throat, like a ferocious demon, were frantically devouring her vocal cord cells, and her condition was extremely critical.

Hiruko didn't answer Alto immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Sheryl, his eyes filled with inquiry: "Sheryl, do you understand your own situation?"

Sherry managed a weak smile, a bitter expression on her pale face. She nodded slightly, as if in response to Hiruko's question.

Seeing Sheryl's reaction, Hiruko understood. It seemed that this galactic fairy was aware of her own changes but chose to bear them alone without revealing them to anyone. Her strength was heartbreaking.

Hiruko made a preliminary assessment of Sheryl's agent, Grace O'Connor, in his mind.

In another parallel world, which is the TV version of the story, Sheryl was infected by Grace's injection of bacteria V, and she is a complete villain from beginning to end.

In the theatrical version, Sheryl knew from the beginning that she was infected with V bacteria, and Grace took care of her the whole time. Although Grace was still a ruthless woman in some ways, in the theatrical version, she was devoted to Sheryl.

Sherry's usually bright blue eyes looked dull and lifeless at this moment. She coughed softly, covered her mouth with her hand as if to hide something, and her body trembled slightly.

“Mr. Hiruko…” Art hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help asking, “Is Miss Sherry’s condition… serious?”

Hiruko didn't answer Alto's question directly. Instead, he turned to Sheryl and said in a serious tone, "Sheryl, give up the stage."

If you give up now, you might have a chance to survive if your vocal cords are removed. But if you continue, you will only die on stage in the end.

This is the safest method at the moment; although it's cruel, it's for your life.

Upon hearing Hiruko's words, Sherry's previously dim eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling light. She abruptly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a harsh sound.

"Give up the stage? That's impossible!" Sheryl's voice trembled slightly, but it was full of determination. "I, Sheryl Norm, was born for the stage, and I will die for the stage! Even if I only have one breath left, I will stand on the stage and make the entire galaxy tremble with my singing! This is my dream, and this is my mission!"

Sheryl Nome's sapphire-like eyes blazed with a fierce flame, as if they could burn away all difficulties.

Her long golden hair danced in the lights like a golden waterfall; she was a fairy from the Milky Way, born for the stage.

"Sheryl," Hiruko said coldly, her expression serious, "I know your love for the stage, but I must remind you that nothing can be changed once a person dies; life is the most precious thing."

Sherry trembled slightly. Of course, she knew about V-Bacteria's existence and understood the potential consequences of continuing the performance.

However, giving up the stage was more terrifying for her than death; the stage was the meaning of her life.

“I…I can’t live without a stage…” Sheryl’s voice lowered, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, “If I can’t sing, what’s the point of my life?” Sheryl’s hands clenched into fists, her knuckles turning white.

Her body trembled slightly, as if she were enduring immense pain. If she gave up the stage, she would return to that lonely world. She didn't want that; she longed to shine on the stage.

Just then, Catherine walked to Sheryl's side, gently took her hand, and softly comforted her, "Sheryl, calm down first."

Mr. Hiruko will definitely find a way to cure you, and you will definitely get better.

We will all be there for you through this.

Ozma walked up to Sheryl and said firmly, "Sheryl, we, the members of SMS, are all your support."

No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will get through them with you.

Orchid also grasped Sheryl's other hand, her eyes filled with concern: "Miss Sheryl, don't give up hope."

We will all be with you and get through this together.

You are not alone in this fight.

The SMS team members in the room all looked at her with concern and cheered her on, creating a warm atmosphere in the room.

Sheryl looked up at her friends who cared about her, her eyes glistening with tears.

She felt the warmth of friendship and rekindled the flame of hope. She realized that she was not alone and had unknowingly made so many friends.

Hiruko looked at the people surrounding Sherry, making him look like the villain, and shook his head helplessly, but a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

He cleared his throat and said, "While Sherry's condition is critical, it's not entirely without a solution."

As a research ninja, I will use my knowledge and abilities to try my best to find a solution.

Upon hearing this, hope immediately shone on everyone's faces, and they all turned their gazes to Hiruko, waiting for him to continue, as if Hiruko were their last hope.

Hiruko paused, then said calmly, "Miss Orchid's V bacteria has formed a balanced symbiotic relationship with her body. If we can transfuse her blood into Miss Sherry, it might temporarily suppress the deterioration of the V bacteria and buy us more time to find a way to completely cure it."

This is a bold idea, but it's worth a try.

"A blood transfusion?" Art asked in surprise, his face full of doubt. "Is this really possible?"

Hiruko nodded: "Miss Orchid's V bacteria have adapted to the human environment and achieved a certain balance with her immune system."

Once these V bacteria enter Ms. Sheryl's body, they may fight against the mutated V bacteria, thereby inhibiting their reproduction.

It's like fighting poison with poison, using one force to combat another.

“But this is not a long-term solution,” Hiruko added, his expression serious. “Blood transfusions can only temporarily alleviate Miss Sherry’s condition; we still need to find a way to completely eradicate the mutated V bacteria.”

This requires time and further research.

Hearing Hiruko's words, Sherry was filled with gratitude and hope.

She raised her head and looked at Hiruko, her sapphire-like eyes glistening with tears, as if expressing endless gratitude.

Orchid walked over to Sheryl, took her hand tightly, and said firmly, "Miss Sheryl, don't worry, I will definitely help you! We are friends, and friends should help each other."

Hiruko handed a data terminal that was flashing blue light to Ozma and said, "Captain Ozma, for the next period of time, it would be best to have the Skull Squad and Fairy Squad increase their training volume."

We must be fully prepared for any potential dangers.

Ozma took the data terminal and asked in confusion, "Mr. Hiruko, what is this?"

"This is the technical documentation for the new Gn combat backpack I designed for the VF-25 and the Fairy Squad Battle Seal Scroll," Hiruko explained. "I hope you will familiarize yourselves with its usage as quickly as possible during this time."

This combat backpack is equipped with advanced technology and can play a vital role in combat.

Hiruko opened the data terminal and pointed to the 3D model on it, saying, "This Gn combat backpack is equipped with a pseudo-solar furnace and Gn particle technology, which can provide Vf-25 with powerful power and weapons, and can deploy a Gn force field for defense."

It's like putting a sturdy armor on a fighter jet, making it even more invincible in battle.

"I have carefully studied the VF-25's data. This mech has always had a major flaw: when it is not equipped with an extra backpack, its armament is extremely weak, consisting only of the mech's own Gatling gun and super alloy blades."

Moreover, once it enters the atmosphere, it will shed its relatively bulky equipment to adapt to the flight environment, which directly exposes its weakness in terms of weaponry. "The research ninja Hiruko continued calmly with his arms crossed, "The GN backpack is different. Because I used research ninjutsu to mount the pseudo-solar reactor on it, this equipment is perfectly suitable for both the atmosphere and outer space."

If you can master its use, your combat capabilities will be significantly enhanced thanks to the continuous energy provided by the pseudo-solar furnace.

Ozma nodded slightly after hearing what Hiruko said.

As the captain of the Skull Squad, with his years of combat experience and in-depth understanding of mechs, he knew the weaknesses of the VF-25 perfectly.

It's not that VF-25 can't use the existing combat backpack within the atmosphere, but that requires extremely high piloting skills and precise control of the mech. He's the only one in the entire squad who can do that.

When other pilots enter the atmosphere to fight in the VF-25, they are forced to jettison additional equipment to avoid affecting flight and their own safety.

The previous pilot of the red VF-25, piloted by Alte, was killed in action during the preliminary battles before the invasion of Vajra due to insufficient weaponry, precisely because of this.

On the holographic screen, the model of the Gn combat backpack slowly rotated. Its streamlined shape resembled a nimble cheetah, and its technologically advanced details seemed to speak of its powerful strength.

Ozma looked at the model on the screen, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

As an excellent pilot, the desire for powerful strength and advanced equipment is like an instinct. He naturally longs to have more powerful weapons and equipment to lead his squad to more victories.

Chapter 476

But Ma was even more puzzled, and frowned slightly as she asked, "Mr. Hiruko, haven't we already decided to refrain from military action against Vajra? Why do we still need to develop new weapons?"

“Captain Ozma, you’re overthinking it.” Hiruko looked at Catherine and then patiently explained, “I developed these weapons not to attack Vajra, but to protect the fleet and human civilization.”

In addition, information about Vajra is not exclusive to the fleet.

You may not know this, but I've read the VF-25's development logs. The reason the government was developing a new generation of fifth-generation fighter jets was because they discovered the Vajra.

Besides our fleet, the Galaxy fleet and the Olympus fleet have also been commissioned to develop fifth-generation fighter jets.

The development code name for the fleet is VF-25, for Olympus it is VF-26, and for the Galaxy fleet it is VF-27.

However, Olympus later abandoned its independent development and chose to develop the VF-25 in conjunction with the fleet.

Catherine nodded helplessly to Ozma, and Hiruko continued, saying that there was no need to hide any military secrets anymore now.

"Before the fleet commissioned me to investigate Vajra, they always regarded Vajra as an unintelligent creature from Outer Ruko, but now we have confirmed through scientific ninjutsu detection and analysis that Vajra is intelligent."

If the fleet continues to take aggressive military actions as before, it will be in violation of the Galactic Convention.

Therefore, the convoy has temporarily suspended all actions that could promote armed conflict.

But that doesn't mean others will do the same... You see, the power of the gods is incredibly tempting, and there will always be those who try to control it.

At this point, Ozma also realized the seriousness of the problem.

To further fuel the fire and make everyone take it even more seriously, Hiruko continued, "If anyone wants to control Vajra, the orchid will be their first target."

The incident involving Investigation Team 117 is no secret; those who are interested will naturally find out, especially certain ambitious individuals who will surely use it to their advantage.

*Thud!* Ozma slammed his fist on the table, his face filled with anger, and solemnly said, "Mr. Hiruko, I understand."

I will familiarize the Skeleton Squad and Fairy Squad with the use of the Gn Combat Backpack as soon as possible, so they are ready for battle at any time.

Hiruko nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Captain Ozma."

Seeing Ozma transformed into a "devil," radiating rage, the members of the Skull Squad and Fairy Squad broke out in a cold sweat.

As everyone knows, Ozma is a super sister-obsessed man. Although Orchid is not his biological sister, he cares for Orchid even more than he would for his real sister.

Now that he knows someone is plotting against his sister, he wants nothing more than to tear them to pieces.

Since this group hasn't shown up yet, the Skeleton Squad and Fairy Squad members can only serve as his outlets for venting his anger during this period.

Seeing the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the SMS members in front of her, Orchid could only laugh awkwardly a few times, while Catherine held her head and muttered softly, "If only you cared about Orchid even half as much when you were with me."

The meeting has ended.

Sheryl and Orchid were the first to leave. Escorted by bodyguards, they left the SMS base. Their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving only a faint scent of perfume, as if telling the story of the two girls' beauty and fragility.

Hiruko stayed behind to explain the use of the Gn combat backpack to Ozma and other SMS members.

He used scientific ninjutsu to present the complex energy flow and mechanical operation principles in an intuitive way, pointing to the complex structural diagram on the holographic projection and explaining in detail the function and operation of each component.

"The core component of the Gn combat backpack is the pseudo-solar furnace, which uses special scientific ninjutsu to condense energy and generate enormous energy to provide powerful propulsion and weapons for the Vf-25."

Just like the chakra within a ninja's body, which circulates through special meridians to unleash tremendous power.

The SMS members listened attentively to Hiruko's explanation, asking questions from time to time, which Hiruko patiently answered one by one, demonstrating and explaining using scientific ninjutsu.
