Shin left the Ninja Academy and wandered around Konoha.

"Go home? Or should I wait until the family digests this news before going back?"

He planned to return around dinnertime.

"Ichiraku Ramen?"

As Shin strolled there, he couldn't help but recall the rumors from his previous life, that Ichiraku was supposedly a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan?

He looked at the still-quite-young Ichiraku, diligently preparing ramen in his mobile stall.

Instantly, he stopped believing in such unfounded nonsense.

What reason could there be for an alien to end up in Konoha Village, hiding their identity, and running a small ramen stall?

Behind all of this, is it a decline in morality, or a distortion of human nature?

Stay tuned for tonight at eight... cough, but television, that magical artifact, hasn't been invented yet.

"I'll have to tinker with a television soon." Shin, with an exciting idea, walked toward Ichiraku's stall.

"Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen!" Ichiraku, who was preparing noodles, immediately looked up to greet the incoming customer. "Kid, what kind of ramen would you like?"

Shin didn't know what he wanted to order.

After all, he was born in a great foodie empire with five thousand years of history, and he had seen and tasted all kinds of delicacies.

"Give me whatever ramen is most popular."

"Alright, that'll be a large portion of chashu ramen."

After Ichiraku took the order, he continued to work on the noodles.

Shin looked around and realized that there were only two people in the entire stall.

He thought that it was probably the Naruto effect brought by the prince, that turned the ramen stall into the scale of Boruto.

"Hello, kid."

A magnetic voice came as Shin was surveying the shop.

Shin thought that the person with long flowing hair, stunning beauty, and wearing a purplish-black kimono would be a young lady, but as soon as he spoke, he realized that this was the young "Snake Dude," Orochimaru!

He didn't expect the young Snake Dude's "looks" to be so outstanding. If he didn't undergo human modification, he might have become the village flower of Konoha.

Moreover, he had just thought about making a television in advance, and he ran into the Snake Dude, who would master core technology in the future.

What a coincidence!

"Hello, mister." Shin decided to be a bit cheeky.

Anyway, the 15-year-old Orochimaru definitely wouldn't do something as outrageous as luring away an Uchiha child.

"..." Orochimaru's eyes twitched.

He was often mistaken for a woman because he looked too outstanding, but how could a child call him mister today?

The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not what they used to be!

"What's wrong, mister? Is there something you can't say?" Shin, feeling that it wasn't enough, decided to increase the intensity.

Orochimaru replied with a bitter face, using his magnetic voice, "No, it's just, why did you call me mister, kid?"

"Because of mister's voice."

"..."

Orochimaru realized for the first time that his voice could be misunderstood, no wonder so many people used to call him young lady.

"Kid, your large portion of chashu ramen!" Ichiraku placed the ramen in front of Shin.

"Mister, I'll eat my noodles first."

"Mm."

Orochimaru, who was interrupted by Ichiraku, felt a little inexplicable at the moment.

He originally wanted to explain.

But seeing Shin eating the noodles in large mouthfuls, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

"Why did I have to come to this stall to eat ramen when I had nothing better to do today?"

(Author's note: It's all fate's arrangement!)

Shin glanced sideways and noticed that Orochimaru lowered his head to continue eating noodles, so he didn't say much. After all, "persuading" such a scientific genius requires a gradual approach.

At this moment, only the two of them were left eating ramen at the Ichiraku Ramen stall, with the sounds of slurping filling the air.

"By the way, mister, do you know about drum washing machines?" Shin put down his chopsticks and asked Orochimaru, who was doing the same.

"I don't know, is that some kind of machine?" Orochimaru replied with little interest.

Such a simple and crude thing was difficult to arouse his interest.

Shin didn't worry about this at all.

He leisurely took out a small scroll from his ninja tool bag and opened it.

After a puff of smoke, two large scrolls appeared in his hand.

The small scroll was from the stock Shin took from the original Uchiha Ninja Tool Shop. Don't let its small and exquisite appearance fool you; after some improvements, its capacity is quite large.

It's a high-end item among sealing scrolls.

If he wanted to make that fanatical scientist appear ahead of schedule, he had to throw out a bait that was delicious enough.

Fortunately, this transmigrator, with his own large-capacity storage, had learned all kinds of knowledge in his previous life, almost covering the entire human civilization of his original planet.

Although most of it was theoretical knowledge...

As soon as Orochimaru saw the scroll, he knew this was a child from a wealthy family.

Moreover, seeing the other party wearing a black trench coat, he knew that this child must be from Konoha's richest clan, the Uchiha.

"Uncle, look, this is the original design drawing of the washing machine."

Shin opened the original design drawing and handed it to Orochimaru. This wasn't the one he gave to Teuchi to make by hand; this one came with detailed assembly processes and principles.

"I'm Orochimaru."

"Okay, Uncle Orochimaru."

Orochimaru's mouth twitched slightly as he took the scroll.

He had originally said his name so that the other party would address him that way.

What he didn't expect was that the child in front of him seemed polite, but the words he spoke were too hurtful.

"Oh, right, Uncle Orochimaru, my name is Uchiha Shin; just call me Shin."

Orochimaru immediately felt that the name was a little familiar, and soon he had the answer in his mind.

"Tsunade's little brother's 'good friend'???"

"She's been complaining about Nawaki lately, constantly training hard for this child..."

Shin, of course, knew that Orochimaru's pause was because of that pitfall, Nawaki.

After all, the relationship between the Sannin before they parted ways was so good that they talked about everything.

"..."

After thinking about it carefully, Orochimaru decided not to ask about Shin's relationship with Nawaki.

He was often misunderstood as an autistic patient because he didn't know how to communicate with people.

The expression on his face after picking up the scroll could be described as increasingly shocked.

"What a genius design! Using Chakra as energy, and then using mechanical transmission to wash clothes clean with centrifugal force?"

Orochimaru was obviously very interested in the prototype machine in the scroll.

Silent by nature, he unknowingly started talking more.

He looked down, carefully searching for annotations, and asked Shin, "So, what is centrifugal motion?"

"It's the process of throwing objects away after high-speed rotation; I call it centrifugal motion."

"Is there anything else? Why does an object gradually move downwards when flying fast?"

"That's because our planet has gravity... cough, a planet is..."

Shin explained general mechanics and the concept of planets to Orochimaru, who was in a scientific madman state, making the other party's eyes light up as they listened.

"I never thought that the world we live in is just a speck of dust in the universe. Sure enough, humans are still so small, only knowing how to fight endlessly on this speck of cosmic dust."

After listening to the explanation, Orochimaru couldn't help but sigh at the weakness and ignorance of mankind.

"Uncle Orochimaru, do you believe what I said?"

Orochimaru looked pious at this moment: "I believe it. After all, from theory to reality, it's impeccable. Science is the only truth until it's refuted!"

"Then, would you like to see the real thing?" Seeing that the preparations were almost done, Shin began to "lure" the other party.

"Has the real thing been made?" At this moment, Orochimaru's magnetic voice was full of excitement.

"Most of it should be finished, right? It just hasn't been assembled yet."

"Take me there quickly!"

Shin could only nod in agreement, watching Orochimaru get up excitedly, and then activate Lightning Chakra Mode.

He took the other party's hand and reminded, "The speed might be a little fast."

"No pr..."

Before Orochimaru could finish the last word, he was pulled away at high speed, swallowing the word "oblem" into his stomach.

Feeling such an astonishing speed, he was a mess in the wind.
