Listening to the gossips of the people around her, Uchiha Izumi focused on the admission list again. Looking at the top of the list, and thinking about the old man Miki who was like a mission impossible, Uchiha Izumi subconsciously lowered her head. She knew that this trip to the capital might not be as smooth as she imagined.

After the entrance exam, Uchiha Izumi began to prepare for the new semester. Knowing that he seemed to have cheated to get into the university, Uchiha Izumi worked very hard during this period, striving to make up for his shortcomings as much as possible before entering the university. Of course, while studying, Uchiha Izumi did not give up monitoring Mr. Miki and the Konoha ninjas.

Relying on the intelligence collected by the shadow clone, Uchiha Izumi discovered that the engineering department of Toudou University had recently caused quite a stir. The behavior of the Konoha ninja in the capital was more domineering than Uchiha Izumi had imagined. They did not secretly investigate Toudou University, a famous engineering school, but directly sent ninjas to conduct a large-scale search in the capital university. The result of the search was beyond everyone's expectations.

Uchiha Izumi provided false information, and so did old man Miki. They knew nothing about Toudou University, and they both thought Konoha would find nothing in this search. But what they didn't expect was that Konoha ninjas actually found in the engineering department of Toudou University that the university was preparing to produce a large amount of ammonium nitrate!

Most of the Konoha ninjas were illiterate and had not even graduated from elementary school, so they naturally did not know what ammonium nitrate was. When they heard the professor from Toudou University fool them into thinking that ammonium nitrate was used as fertilizer, they almost believed it! If there had not been a medical ninja among these Konoha ninjas who told his companions that ammonium nitrate could not only be used as fertilizer, but also be used to make military explosives, Konoha would not have realized the dangers of ammonium nitrate.

In short, the news that Toudou University was developing ammonium nitrate manufacturing equipment caused quite a stir in the Land of Fire. Especially for Konoha, Toudou University's actions were tantamount to digging at the foundation of Konoha.

Imagine if the Fire Nation really prepared a large amount of ammonium nitrate. Even if it was only used to make explosive packs, it would be a weapon as powerful as C-level ninjutsu. The efficiency of industrial production is undoubtedly much faster than the practice of ninjutsu. So once ammonium nitrate is prepared in large quantities, the Fire Nation will be able to form a firearms army that far exceeds any ninja village, which is enough to disintegrate the current world order!

So after discovering Toudou University's actions, Konoha immediately carried out a major purge of Toudou University. All professors and scientists who were capable of developing related equipment, regardless of their attitude, had their memories sealed by the Sealing Technique and then kicked out of the university. As for the core scientists involved in the research and development, they were directly killed by Konoha ninjas on the charge of developing weapons of mass destruction without any judicial trial.

After this incident, Toudou University, which had the strongest engineering strength in the Land of Fire, was severely damaged, and a large number of outstanding engineers and scientists were persecuted, many of whom were leaders in related fields. It can be said that because of Konoha's attack, the development of engineering in the entire Land of Fire came to a standstill.

As a bystander of the whole incident, Uchiha Izumi also increasingly understood the essence of the ninja village system.

The most important reason why the five major ninja villages were able to monopolize the military and diplomatic power of their countries and become the masters of world order was that they monopolized violence! Relying on chakra, a power that only belongs to a small number of elites, the major ninja villages were able to dominate various countries with their extremely small size.

However, this kind of ruling model of using the small to bully the big is inherently sensitive and fragile. Because the ruling foundation of this system is only a small number of people with special powers. Once these people lose their power, or most of them have more powerful power, the so-called ninja village system will suddenly collapse.

It is precisely because of this awareness of risk that the five major ninja villages will use various means to hinder the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology. The purpose is to maintain the stability of the ninja village system and avoid the emergence of forces that subvert the foundation of its rule. It is also because of this suppression that the development of many fields in the ninja world, which is obviously very developed in basic science, is very distorted.

For example, when biological science is very advanced, the ninja world does not use fertilizers on a large scale. This is not because the people in the ninja world do not know the existence of fertilizers, but because fertilizers themselves are a kind of gunpowder and have extremely high military value. Therefore, the ninja villages including Konoha will never allow the emergence of fertilizer plants, because a fertilizer plant means tens of thousands of tons of high explosives, which is enough to blow Konoha up!

In addition to fertilizers, the abnormal development of other scientific fields in the ninja world is also the result of suppression. Otherwise, with the current technological level of the ninja world, it is not difficult to manufacture weapons such as tanks and airplanes. Even nuclear weapons are only a matter of time for the ninja world to develop them. After all, the ninja world also has electronic equipment such as computers, and the level of development of basic physics is no worse than that of the real world.

In short, after observing for a period of time, Uchiha Izumi has equated the so-called ninja village system with the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty. Both are modes of ruling by the small over the big, both are for the purpose of maintaining the interests of a small number of elites, both have brought huge war disasters to the world, and both have hindered the development and progress of the majority of people in order to maintain their rule.

It was for this reason that Uchiha Izumi at this time deeply hated the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama!

This guy may be a great ninja god in the eyes of the ninjas, but from the perspective of most people in the ninja world, he is just an eight-banner executioner who brought colonial rule. If it weren't for him, the ninja world wouldn't have experienced three consecutive ninja wars, and the technological development of the ninja world wouldn't have stagnated. When facing the threat of the Otsutsuki, the ninja world could have used nuclear weapons to kill them instead of relying on a few people in the protagonist group to cheat.

Chapter 18: The Evil Pharmacist Kabuto

Uncle Miki’s second-hand bookstore.

Uchiha Izumi's shadow clone transformed into Zhao Angui's appearance and walked into the second-hand bookstore again. After finding Mr. Miki, Uchiha Izumi handed him a letter and asked him to deliver the letter to the Akatsuki headquarters as soon as possible.

In fact, Uchiha Izumi's letter was not urgent. It just told Konan and Nagato what happened in the capital of the Land of Fire recently. At the end of the letter, Uchiha Izumi expressed his own views, such as his thoughts on the ninja village system, etc. The views are based on the thinking mode of the time traveler, which is very inspiring to the ninja world. But in terms of intelligence value, it is basically none.

The reason why Uchiha Izumi gave this letter to old man Miki and asked him to hand it in as soon as possible was actually to test him again. Uchiha Izumi really wanted to know, which side did this old man who was wandering between Konoha and Akatsuki belong to?

So after handing the letter to Mr. Miki, Uchiha Izumi's shadow clone began to closely monitor him again. She saw that after Mr. Miki received the letter, he did not take action immediately, but carefully hid the letter. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the old man sat up from the bed and carefully took out the letter. He used the prepared ninja tool to cut open the envelope and began to read slowly under the dim light.

In the darkness, Uchiha Izumi's shadow clone saw that Mr. Miki's brows were gradually tightening. He obviously didn't understand why such an ordinary letter had to be sent out as soon as possible. But when he read to the end, Mr. Miki's whole old face suddenly became energetic. As if he saw a light in the darkness, Mr. Miki stood up suddenly, and muttered softly while walking:

"No wonder Konoha has become like this. So that's why! Oh, Konoha!"

Although he had passed on false information to Konoha, Uchiha Izumi could sense his feelings for Konoha from old man Miki's words. The tone of his voice was like that of his own child.

Finally, Mr. Miki put the letter back into the ninja tools and went back to bed to continue sleeping.

……

It seems that this old man Miki is indeed a Konoha ninja. When he speaks, his feelings for Konoha in his voice cannot be deceived. Maybe because of his life experience or other reasons, this old man is disappointed with the current Konoha, so he chooses to cover up for the Akatsuki organization in terms of intelligence. Maybe in front of this old man who has witnessed the history of Konoha, the current Akatsuki organization is the former Konoha!

On the first day of school, Uchiha Izumi walked in the cold wind of early spring, thinking about the information passed by the shadow clone. Unconsciously, Uchiha Izumi walked to the gate of Baoqing University. As a private aristocratic school, the gate of Baoqing University is very subtle, and it is not as grand as the gate of Zhonghua University in the real world. Only after walking in can you see the pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted buildings inside.

Following the signs, Izumi Uchiha found the classroom of the Molecular Cell Biology major in the Medical Department. After entering the classroom, he saw the newly enrolled students either reading or whispering to each other. Izumi Uchiha did not greet these students, but walked to the window seat at the back of the classroom and picked up the textbook to review his lessons.

Soon, another person sat next to Uchiha Izumi. Uchiha Izumi looked sideways, and his pupils suddenly shrank. Because the person next to him wore round glasses, had short silver-white hair, and had a kind smile on his face. It was Yakushi Kabuto!

Although Uchiha Izumi expected that he and Kabuto Yakushi might be classmates, after all, they both had the same research direction. But Uchiha Izumi did not expect that he would have an intersection with this person on the first day of school.

Yakushi Kabuto, who had just sat down, also noticed Uchiha Izumi's gaze and greeted him with a smile:

"What's this classmate's name?"

"Miyano Shiho." Uchiha Izumi said the pseudonym he made up.

"Hello, Miyano, right? My name is Kabuto Yakushi, and I'm a ninja from Konoha."

"Konoha, ninja?" Uchiha Izumi said timidly according to the character he created.

"Haha, are you surprised? Ninjas actually come to college. Actually, I'm not an ordinary ninja, but a medical ninja. Ordinary ninjas can graduate after six years of training, but medical ninjas need to master not only combat skills, but also medical knowledge comparable to that of doctors. Such knowledge reserves cannot be taught in the ninja village, so medical ninjas will further their studies in college."

When they first met, Kabuto Yakushi gave people a very good impression. He was kind, cheerful, eloquent, and gave people the feeling of a big brother next door. But Uchiha Izumi knew that this guy was one of the best ace spies in the story of Naruto. The temperament he showed now was largely a disguise.

Facing such an ace spy, Uchiha Izumi had no interest in communicating with him, because any unnecessary communication might expose her identity. So after listening to Kabuto Yakushi's introduction, she turned her eyes back to the book and no longer cared about Kabuto Yakushi. Seeing that she was being bored, Kabuto Yakushi did not continue to talk and simply took out his book to review.

In the days that followed, Uchiha Izumi created two shadow clones. One clone took his place in class, while the other collected information around the used bookstore. Uchiha Izumi's original body practiced hard at home, and in addition to training in physical skills, he also developed the properties of water attribute chakra.

One person was divided into three people, but Uchiha Izumi didn't feel mentally exhausted. After all, her soul was the product of the fusion of two people, and her mental strength was far superior to that of ordinary people. Uchiha Izumi quickly completed her studies and even had spare time to write letters to Nagato and Konan to exchange views on the ninja village system.

Time flies so fast, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two years, Uchiha Izumi relied on his extraordinary mental strength and shadow clones to cheat, and finally completed the course that would take ordinary people five years to complete, and graduated from university three years ahead of schedule.

Under normal circumstances, this result would have shocked most of the medical department. However, when Uchiha Izumi graduated early, the medical department did not make much of a fuss. The reason was simple, because Kabuto Yakushi, who entered the school in the same year as Uchiha Izumi, had completed five years of study in just one year and graduated easily!

Not only that, after graduating from college in one year, Kabuto Yakushi spent another year to get his master's degree and published several important papers. If Kabuto Yakushi's doctoral advisor had not deliberately squeezed him for two more years, Kabuto Yakushi could have completed his master's and doctoral studies in one year, directly surpassing the legendary medical ninja Tsunade who graduated with a doctorate in three years, and became the first person in the history of the medical department!

As a classmate who entered school on the same day, Uchiha Izumi was originally worried that his identity would be exposed if they spent a long time together, after all, he used a shadow clone in class. Who knew that he was overthinking it, as Kabuto Yakushi had only been here for two months when he skipped a grade and went to the sophomore year, and five months later he was already a junior, and in less than a year he applied for early graduation. Apart from a few words with him when he entered school, he had rarely even seen him.

What a monster!

Uchiha Izumi commented on Kabuto Yakushi's talent in medicine, but she was not surprised. After all, in the original Naruto, this man, without the blessing of bloodline or destiny, actually relied on his brain to stir up the world and stood shoulder to shoulder with Uchiha Obito. It would be strange if he didn't have such an amazing performance in college.

Chapter 19 Gene Editing Technology

In the basement of a rented house in the capital of the Fire Nation.

Opposite Uchiha Izumi was a carp with a wound on its body, blood constantly flowing out of the wound. Looking at the carp in front of him, Uchiha Izumi formed seals with both hands, and a light green light slowly appeared in his hands. Then he placed his hands on the carp's body, and the originally bloody wound began to recover quickly, and it healed completely in a short time.

"After two years of training, I can finally be considered a medical ninja."

Looking at the results of his treatment, Uchiha Izumi nodded with satisfaction, then brought the fish into the kitchen and cooked it for dinner.

In the ninja world, it is not only the five major ninja villages that master medical ninjutsu. Medical universities outside the world also teach medical ninjutsu. Although most people's bloodlines cannot support them to master medical ninjutsu, related courses have always existed as elective courses. Uchiha Izumi also started practicing medical ninjutsu in the elective course and mastered some medical ninjutsu in two years.

All in all, the last two years have been extremely important for Uchiha Izumi.

Although she also had Kage-level strength two years ago, that was the result of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Without the power of the Mangekyō, Uchiha Izumi's strength was just that of a special jonin. After two years of practice and accumulation, Uchiha Izumi developed the nature of water escape, mastered medical ninjutsu, and greatly increased her chakra control ability. At this moment, even if she does not rely on the Mangekyō Sharingan, her comprehensive strength is comparable to that of an elite jonin, and is about the same as Sarutobi Asuma.

However, despite the huge progress, Uchiha Izumi also felt the limitations of his bloodline.

Uchiha Izumi's father was not a ninja from the Uchiha clan, she inherited the bloodline of the Uchiha clan from her mother. Compared with Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, her bloodline is not pure, so her talent and potential are not comparable to those of the pure Uchiha clan.

Even though Uchiha Izumi has the Mangekyō Sharingan, relying on the spiritual power enhanced by the fusion of souls, this also means that Uchiha Izumi's bloodline has been further exploited. So today, two years later, Uchiha Izumi clearly feels that her strength has reached a bottleneck. No matter how hard she practices in the future, her strength will not improve much. Because her bloodline can only support such potential, there is no possibility of further improvement.

At this time, if Uchiha Izumi wants to become stronger, the only way is to transform her own bloodline. For this reason, Uchiha Izumi has worked hard to learn relevant medical knowledge in the past two years. At this time, she has already accumulated knowledge about cell transplantation. She only needs to obtain the cells of the first generation of Hokage, and Uchiha Izumi will transplant them into herself, and her strength will be improved again.

And now, the cells of the First Hokage were only one step away from her.

After two years of university studies, Uchiha Izumi's talent was naturally recognized by the professors in the medical department. Although not as talented as Kabuto Yakushi, he was still a genius that only comes once in a few years. So after Uchiha Izumi graduated, several teachers immediately came to Uchiha Izumi and wanted to invite her to become their graduate student.

Faced with invitations from a number of teachers, Uchiha Izumi resolutely chose a not-so-famous professor in the medical school.

The professor's name is Fukuhara Hiroyo, and his main research is gene editing technology. This technology is very important to Uchiha Izumi, because with this technology, Uchiha Izumi can perfectly transplant the cells of the first generation of Hokage and engrave the power of Wood Release into his own genes. Otherwise, if it is just a simple cell transplant, Uchiha Izumi is likely to grow a face of the first generation of Hokage like Uchiha Madara, or have tissue deformation like Danzo.

Uchiha Izumi is a young girl after all, so she naturally doesn't want her body to become weird. Moreover, this kind of transplantation also has huge hidden dangers. Therefore, compared with simple cell transplantation, it is more reliable to use gene editing technology to directly edit the genetic information of Wood Release into one's own DNA.

In addition to the fact that the research project was useful to him, Uchiha Izumi chose Fukuhara Hiroyo for another more important reason. That is, Fukuhara Hiroyo was just a pseudonym for the professor. His real name should be Senju Ukiyo, a member of the Senju clan who escaped from Konoha. Because he inherited the Senju clan's talent in medical ninjutsu, he changed his name and entered Hokage University and became a teacher at this school.

The reason why Uchiha Izumi sneaked into this university, in addition to learning medical knowledge, was to contact this descendant of the Senju clan and try to obtain the cells of the first Hokage from him. Now that he finally has the opportunity to become his student, Uchiha Izumi will naturally not give up. So, amid the regrets of a group of famous professors, Uchiha Izumi officially became Fukuhara Hiroyo's disciple.

Then she saw an acquaintance in Hiroyo Fukuhara's laboratory.

"Mr. Kabuto Yakushi?" Uchiha Izumi asked half in surprise and half in caution.

"It's really Miyano-san! I never thought that we would meet again in Mr. Fukuhara's laboratory. You and I are destined to be together." Kabuto Yakushi was also surprised to see Uchiha Izumi. After all, Uchiha Izumi's grades were also outstanding, so he would not normally choose a less famous professor like Fukuhara Hiroyo.

"By the way, Miyano-san, why did you choose to become Mr. Fukuhara's graduate student? Are you interested in gene editing technology like me?"

Uchiha Quan nodded slightly and said in a low voice:

“If gene editing technology matures, humans will be able to eradicate many genetic diseases. I think this technology is very meaningful, so I chose Mr. Fukuhara.”

"I see, it seems that Miyano-san and I think the same thing!" Yakushi Kabuto subconsciously adjusted his glasses and said:

“Compared to treating illness after it has occurred, I also think that gene editing technology that can eradicate disease is more meaningful. If this technology can be used to its full potential, humans will surely usher in greater evolution.”

Nonsense, I think you and I are the same, both want to use gene editing technology to change our bloodline.

Uchiha Izumi secretly complained, and then began to familiarize himself with the laboratory under the guidance of Yakushi Kabuto. It was also during the communication between the two that Fukuhara Hiroyo, their teacher, finally arrived.

This is an old man in his sixties, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face. There is no enthusiasm for science in his eyes. He looks decadent and old, giving people the feeling that he is just here to get by. If Uchiha Izumi had not observed the parallel world with the Mangekyō Sharingan and accidentally saw this man wearing the Konoha forehead protector, he would never have thought that this man would be the descendant of the famous Senju.

Chapter 20 Breaking the Bloodline Monopoly

The sixty-year-old Fukuhara Hiroyo didn't have the passion of a young man. Even when facing the proud children like Kabuto Yakushi and Uchiha Izumi, he just introduced himself calmly. For the new member Uchiha Izumi, his only arrangement was to let Uchiha Izumi learn from Kabuto Yakushi, finish the graduate courses first, and then he could come to the laboratory to wash bottles.

As for other research work, most of it was handed over to the seniors in the laboratory. After he finished his instructions, he hurried out to attend some academic seminar. Before leaving, he smacked his lips, and it seemed that he was going to have a feast during the tea break.

Seeing Fukuhara Hiroyo like this, Uchiha Izumi felt desperate. This teacher didn't look very reliable. Could he learn the most advanced gene editing technology from him?

The Yakushi Kabuto standing by obviously saw Uchiha Izumi's worry, and smiled to comfort him:

"It's okay, don't worry. Although Mr. Fukuhara is semi-retired now, his academic level is still there. As for your current courses, I and the seniors are enough. You have to know that in the graduate stage, your teacher is just your boss to a large extent, and your seniors are your real teachers."

Things were exactly as Kabuto Yakushi said. As a freshman, Uchiha Izumi usually washed bottles, raised mice, and helped with experiments. Most of his time was spent learning various knowledge under the guidance of his seniors. And because each senior had limited time, Uchiha Izumi's lessons were actually taught by his seniors in turn.

These seniors were not real teachers, so there were many problems with teaching. However, thanks to Uchiha Izumi's high talent and the shadow clones to cheat, Uchiha Izumi easily caught up with the teaching progress of the seniors. These seniors couldn't help but sigh that their laboratory had another prodigy.

After studying so hard for half a year, Uchiha Izumi finally finished the graduate courses. It was also after this that Uchiha Izumi finally came into contact with the gene editing technology he had always dreamed of, and tried to edit the genes of flies, constantly cultivating various strange flies.

It was also during this half year that Uchiha Izumi and Fukuhara Hiroyo gradually became familiar with each other. I learned that this professor was in his sixties and had never married, nor had any children. He was still a single old man. His only hobby seemed to be to go to a used bookstore to find some novels to read. What made Uchiha Izumi feel coincidental was that this used bookstore was the one that Uchiha Izumi paid special attention to:

Uncle Miki’s second-hand bookstore!

Noticing that Fukuhara Hiroyo, a descendant of the Senju clan, was actually related to Miki, Uchiha Izumi immediately realized Miki's true identity. He was most likely a former subordinate of the Senju clan, and became alienated from Konoha because of the Senju clan's experience. It was also because of his relationship with the Senju clan that Konoha lacked trust in him, so Miki was driven out of Konoha and was assigned to perform undercover missions at his age.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Izumi suddenly felt sad for old man Miki, sad for Fukuhara Hiroyo, and even sad for his own experience. The three of them were originally Konoha ninjas, but they parted ways with Konoha for various reasons, and even became Konoha's mortal enemies.

Just when Uchiha Izumi was lamenting the fate of the three people, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly found Uchiha Izumi.

"Miyano-san, did you know that Mr. Fukuhara has actually been conducting secret experiments?"

Uchiha Izumi shook her head when she heard this. She had been studying hard for the past six months and spent her free time practicing ninjutsu. She really didn't notice what Fukuhara Hiroyo was secretly researching. Of course, after completing six months of course study, Uchiha Izumi also planned to conduct a secret investigation on Fukuhara Hiroyo to find clues about the cells of the first generation of Hokage. But she didn't expect that before she investigated, Yakushi Kabuto would take the initiative to come to her door.

"Kabuto-kun, as a university professor, it's not surprising that you do some research in private, right?"

In response to Uchiha Izumi's question, Yakushi Kabuto said:

"Of course, doing some research in private is nothing, but do you know what the teacher's secret research direction is? It's human gene editing!"

Although the future direction of gene editing technology is to edit human genes, this technology is far from mature. Rashly editing human genes is likely to have a huge impact on the entire human race. Therefore, in the current scientific research circle, human gene editing is an absolute forbidden zone.

Once Fukuhara Hiroyo's private editing of human genes is exposed, it will immediately attract criticism from the entire scientific research community. It is not surprising that some extreme people even hired ninjas to assassinate Fukuhara Hiroyo. Because the future of mankind may be completely ruined because of Fukuhara Hiroyo's research.

So when Uchiha Izumi heard this news from Yakushi Kabuto, he was also surprised:

"Kabuto-kun, is your source of information reliable? The teacher looks like he's already living a lazy life, how could he do something so dangerous?"

"Of course I'm reliable. Don't forget that I'm a ninja from Konoha, and I'm a professional in intelligence gathering. A few days ago, I sneaked into my teacher's house and saw with my own eyes the research data on gene editing that he was conducting." Yakushi Kabuto said with certainty.

"I didn't expect the teacher to be like this..." Uchiha Izumi sighed at first, then asked in confusion:

"But Kabuto-san, if you knew all this, why didn't you call the police? Why did you tell me?"

Hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly showed a sly smile on his face. Then he said meaningfully:

"Call the police, why would I do such a thing?"

Uchiha Izumi was stunned when he heard this, and then he heard Yakushi Kabuto continue:

"Although I know about the teacher's research, I never think that it is a mistake. Especially as a ninja, I hate the bloodline monopoly in this world. Why are some people born with powerful bloodline limits, while ordinary people like us can't refine much chakra even if we risk our lives? So I don't want to report the teacher at all, and I am even ready to join the teacher's research."

After listening to what Yakushi Kabuto said, Uchiha Izumi asked in confusion:

"Is that so? But Kabuto-kun, why don't you just go study on your own with the teacher? Why are you telling me all this?"

Looking at Uchiha Izumi pretending to be confused, Yakushi Kabuto sneered:
