Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

It's not a family, don't enter a family.

Why are you suddenly lost in thought? What are you thinking about?

Seemingly noticing that Emiya's expression was somewhat dazed, Himeko moved her cheek slightly closer. Her bright eyes, seemingly needing no further embellishment, already exuded the allure of a mature beauty, like shimmering autumn waters.

They were so close, that Shirou could almost feel her warm breath brush against his face as she spoke. Startled by this almost unreal sensation, he looked at the beautiful woman smiling gently before him and couldn't help but rub his nose. He then chuckled softly.

"I'm thinking about when I can marry Ms. Himeko."

Unfortunately, I have no plans to get married at the moment.

"Then you'll have to try and see if I can change your mind."

"Perhaps you can give it a try; exploring new possibilities is also a form of accumulation."

"Of course, I absolutely love 'Pioneer'! We have to drive it like crazy!"

Mr. Emiya's words seemed to carry a genuine sense of sincerity; if the direction of development was in that area, he would be extremely interested.

"Let's go, let's meet those so-called ninjas you mentioned first. I'm very interested in that kind of biological energy called 'chakra.'"

Before she could finish speaking, suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from afar, as if the entire earth was trembling.

"Starting again?"

Emiya, with a slight headache, looked towards a spot several tens of kilometers away. The Uzumaki family, in two groups, young and old, had resumed their so-called 'training' using the Creation Engine. Ever since they learned the specific functions of the λ-driver system, these two generations had become obsessed with training their earth-slaying skills through mental battles.

The Land of Whirlpools wasn't very large to begin with, so even the slightest movement of the creation engine could be detected throughout the entire island.

Dr. Möbius had originally planned to rebuild his laboratory on the island, but after witnessing the actions of the Vortex natives, he immediately abandoned the idea of ​​settling permanently on the island.

In her words, she simply couldn't imagine living with hundreds of low-budget versions of social terrorists like Alicia, so she has now decisively gone to the mainland to find a suitable research institute location.

"These ninjas seem very energetic, quite different from the assassins I'm used to."

"They're just a little too energetic, especially the Whirlpool family."

Before he could finish speaking, a little girl not far away spotted him and Himeko's location. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she leaped down from a tree branch three or four meters high. After a brief shudder upon landing, she ran towards them as if nothing had happened.

Just as she was about to shout something at Emiya, she tripped over a tree root, then pounced forward, sliding face-first to Emiya's feet.

Mr. Emiya couldn't help but take two steps back, and asked with a face full of black lines,

"...Kushina, what are you up to now?"

"I feel like the remaining two Colossi are calling to me. I mean it, Emiya-nii, I'm not lying!"

Chapter 070: Determined to become the top female pilot of the Uzumaki clan!

Uzumaki Kushina,

She wasn't yet the wife of that blond-haired kid in Konoha, nor the mother of the future Seventh Hokage.

This little girl, who hasn't yet gone to Konoha Village and is known as Rotten Tomato or Red Pepper, is currently a kind of innocent and foolish simpleton.

Perhaps because the upper echelons of the tribe did not explain to these children what had happened in the Land of Whirlpools, this little girl was still enjoying a carefree childhood, working like other Whirlpool kids her age, going up the mountain to be a bird-catching master and going down to the sea to be a snail king, without ever dreaming of having a sweet romance with some blond-haired boy who was still in school.

Minato Namikaze? (Not interested)

A colossus?! I was born for that purpose—my teeth!

As the clan chief's granddaughter, Kushina was among the first to mingle with Emiya and his group. Furthermore, Alicia adored lively and adorable girls like her, and within a few days, Kushina had become familiar with everyone.

Then, after they got to know each other better, Hun Bujiu's true nature began to show. He thought about the other two creation engines every day, fantasizing that someone could control them.

Ninja? What a trash profession that is!

Originally, she aspired to become the Fourth Hokage's wife, the first female Hokage of Konoha, but now her ambitions have long since changed.

She hopes that this line will appear on her future resume.

"The Uzumaki clan's premier Colossus pilot."

“Brother Emiya, I feel like they are really calling me, because they are even crying because I haven’t responded to them. I’m not lying!”

The little girl spoke with great conviction, but her face was covered in dust, making her look as disheveled as a little kitten, so what she said lacked any credibility.

Himeko smiled when she saw the little girl's appearance. She knelt down, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and wiped the dust off the little girl's face.

Kushina's eyes lit up when she saw Himeko's hair, which was even more vibrant than her own. Admiring the beautiful woman's slender figure and delicate, gentle features, she jumped up excitedly.

"Sister, I want to become a great beauty like you in the future."

Ideal type!

The perfect ideal type!

This is the ultimate evolution of Kushina Uzumaki's future form, Koga!

"Then you must grow up well, eat more vegetables, don't be picky about food, get plenty of rest, and don't stay up late."

"Sister, what's your name? I've never seen you in the clan before."

"I am Himeko. You can call me Himeko-neechan. Little sister, what's your name?"

"Kushina, Uzumaki Kushina!"

"Then, could you please show me around? I'm very interested in your country and people; could you tell me about them?"

"I will handle it!"

Children's attention is easily diverted, and Himeko's friendly smile won over the little girl's current focus, so she gave up on continuing to pester Emiya and took out the remaining two Creation Engines.

After Himeko was taken away by Kushina, Cangxuan, one of Meubis's four assistants who remained on the island, ran over and spoke directly to Emiya.

"Brother Emiya, you're finally back! The Doctor has been urging us on, saying that they've found a suitable research institute on the mainland where we can set up operations."

"So fast? Did you just pick a random place?"

"It seems that the professor encountered a young ninja who was very interested in biology, and that young ninja pointed them to a secluded place that was very suitable as a research institute."

"Oh? What's that young ninja's name?"

"Orochimaru, I think that's the name."

How did two snakes end up together so quickly? Perhaps it's some kind of strange fate.

However, Orochimaru has not yet reached the level of a biology master like those in later generations. Right now, in front of Mebius, he is at best a little apprentice.

"I wonder if there's any possibility of winning over Orochimaru now. If it were Orochimaru after Nawaki's death, he might develop a strong obsession with immortality, and he would be much easier to win over at that point."

Research talents, especially those from the local area, can sometimes provide unexpected perspectives. In particular, a unique biology expert in the scientific wasteland of the ninja world would be a waste if such a talent were placed in Konoha and had to compete with the apprentice of a childhood friend for the Fourth Hokage position.

Such a fine material, if placed in the starry universe, would surely gain some wisdom or a bountiful destiny, thus escaping the scientific wasteland of the ninja world and freely roaming in the realm of imaginary numbers.

Orochimaru will spawn in the continental region near the Land of Whirlpools. It's not hard to guess his mission. He is most likely ordered to help some refugees from the Land of Whirlpools return to Konoha.

The Land of Whirlpools is such a lucrative prize, it's not just Kumogakure and Kirigakure that's eyeing it; there might be an unspoken agreement among the five great nations behind it.

Ultimately, why would the five superpowers, whose lineage traces back to the ancestral emperor, want to see a ninja nation like the Land of Whirlpools that has established its own independent territory?

What if you get carried away with this and other ninja villages start to covet it, and then they all rebel and cause chaos?

Therefore, the Land of Whirlpools must die, not only because of sealing techniques and Jinchuriki, but more importantly because it was a small country created by a ninja clan that independently established its own power base.

·· ·····Requesting 0 flowers ·······

Other ninja villages formed a coalition and marched in a grand procession towards the Land of Whirlpools, while Konoha was only too embarrassed to openly join in due to face-saving concerns.

"He has to have his cake and eat it too. No wonder there aren't many positive portrayals of Hiruzen Sarutobi in Naruto fanfiction. The title 'Ninja Hero' is really not suitable for this little old man who was born a politician."

Here's a joke: the strongest Hokage of all time was the Third Hokage.

Maybe they really can't beat even one of their thousands of hands.

"Then let's just go there."

The Vimana of Mr. Jin was projected, and Cang Xuan followed. She still couldn't figure out where the drive core of this strangely shaped flying boat was, but its performance as a means of transportation was indeed very good.

Based on the location address returned by the temporarily launched satellite, Emiya quickly located Mebius, her bodyguard, and Sakura, who didn't yet have donkey ears, in a mountainous area.

...... ... ...

This former secret operations officer was also someone Mebius had chosen to trust. It's worth noting that she had brought her younger sister to this ninja world as well. That awful place, the Honkai Impact 3rd studio, could corrupt her sister at any time, and she absolutely didn't want her sister involved in any Honkai-related incidents.

"Is it finally here?"

Seeing Vimana land on the ground, Möbius's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. Having so much free time without being able to conduct experiments was incredibly frustrating for someone of her personality.

"Is that the ally you chose, Doctor? If I may be frank, with your talent, if you were to join Konoha, I can guarantee you that the funding would not be less than one billion ryo per year."

A young ninja standing not far to Mebius's right spoke to him with a hint of respect.

“Ordinary ninja villages and small countries simply do not have the foundation to conduct biological research. As a master, you should know this situation better than I do.”

In his current view, only the Land of Fire, with its vast territory and abundant resources, possesses the most abundant resources in the entire ninja world. As the violent institution of the Land of Fire, Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, is undoubtedly the most qualified place to accept a great talent like Meubis.

Other small countries would only waste this doctor's talent and wisdom. It would be a terrible waste to let such a talented person waste his time in a small, rural country.

"A billion? If we're really going to do research, the billion you mentioned is just a drop in the bucket. What can you do with that little bit of funding in a year? Most importantly, the resources of your so-called great powers in the ninja world are utterly insignificant compared to that man."

071: "Big brother, I've developed a new technique." "If it's not Water Release, then it should be banned."

071: "Big brother, I've developed a new technique." "If it's not Water Release, then it should be banned."

"Cold-blooded Orochimaru?"

"Indeed, you must be the Emiya-kun the Doctor mentioned."

Looking at Orochimaru, whose expression still held a hint of smugness, Emiya raised an eyebrow slightly. He wondered if Orochimaru had begun cooperating with Danzo at this stage.

The ninja world is practically a scientific wasteland. To conduct any reliable research, human experimentation is indispensable. Konoha, as the ninja village with the highest public image, always needs to avoid and cover up this aspect.

so,.

Even though he was interested in that area, Orochimaru's methods were relatively conservative before cooperating with Danzo, promising to use death row inmates and ninjas from other countries as test subjects at most.

Moreover, during this period, he harbored the ambition to become the Fourth Hokage.

He was far from being the Snake Uncle who later simply gave up and defected.

“Emiya-kun, I have the utmost admiration for Dr. Mebius’s knowledge, so I would like to invite her to visit Konoha.”

"Then why don't you tell her?"

"The doctor rejected me because of you."

"It's as if you confessed your feelings and got rejected."

Emiya made a joke, then looked at Mebius and said,

"Mebius, I have a joke for you, would you like to hear it?"

"What joke?"

One day, Tobirama Senju, who had not yet become the Second Hokage, found Hashirama Senju, who was then the First Hokage.

He said: Brother, I've developed a new technique.

Hashirama Senju asked, "Is it Water Release? If it's not, then ban it."

When Orochimaru heard this joke, he was first stunned, and after a moment of silence, a blush suddenly appeared on his pale face.

Easy to drive!

However, no normal person in the ninja world would categorize such jokes that ridicule the first two Hokage.

Moreover, it's a joke with such a hidden inside story.

Upon closer reflection, although he hadn't looked at it closely, it seemed that over 90% of the forbidden techniques recorded in the Book of Seals in his teacher's hands truly originated from the Second Hokage.

"What's so funny?"

Mebius rolled her eyes. Although she had heard some common knowledge about the ninja world, she couldn't get the joke at all.

"The person over there has already burst out laughing, which means my joke is fine; it's just that you have a high threshold for laughter."

"Stop fooling around. Help me reject him, and then move the lab out for me as soon as possible. If we waste too much time, we won't be able to finish the experiments."

"Go, go, go."
