Uchiha clan grounds, outside the former ninja tool shop, now a factory.

"One and a half minutes!" Orochimaru's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

In a mere 90 seconds, the two of them had traveled from Ichiraku Ramen, located near the edge of the village, to the Uchiha clan grounds in the very center of Konoha.

A straight-line distance of nearly five kilometers!

"Oh, it's Second Young Master. Are they here to check on the progress?" A background blacksmith, who was carrying iron ore into the factory, asked after seeing Shin.

"Yes, how's the progress today?" Shin asked eagerly.

"We just finished the last component. The assembly line is still under construction."

"Alright, tell everyone to come again tomorrow." After Shin gave the instructions, he led Orochimaru, whose hair and clothes were disheveled, into the factory.

The future mad scientist walked into the shop and finally recovered: "Shin… what method did you use to get here in such a short amount of time?"

"That, it's a kind of Elemental Chakra Mode I developed…"

"What's the principle?"

Shin looked at the other's eager expression and knew that Orochimaru's mad scientist state had returned. He knew that if he didn't explain, he would be pestered endlessly.

Anyway, the principle was so simple that he wasn't afraid of it being leaked. Without his calculation ability cheat and mutually restraining chakra attributes, it would be difficult to learn.

Adhering to the principle of taking "enticement" to the end, Shin decided to invest a little.

"Inject chakra into the cells after changing its elemental nature. When the chakra in the cells is saturated, you can enter the state. The side effect is that you can inject opposite chakra to cancel it out at the edge of the cells..."

"Such a simple principle? Truly a genius idea."

Orochimaru got a satisfactory answer and didn't continue to press.

He didn't come here for this Elemental Chakra Mode that sounded difficult to learn.

"Then let me assemble it first."

Shin led Orochimaru to the warehouse where the parts were stored and began the assembly.

"!!!"

Orochimaru was amazed by the smoothness of the assembly process, which didn't have a single pause.

He opened the scroll in his hand and carefully compared it, discovering that there wasn't a single mistake.

"Is this… is this still human? So many delicate and complex parts. And they can assemble it so quickly…"

"Even if they researched it themselves, they couldn't guarantee that every step would be error-free, right?"

Orochimaru, who was brainstorming, clearly didn't see the figure rapidly assembling in front of them as human anymore.

If Shin knew that someone finally didn't see him as human, he would definitely be very happy.

This was the reason why he had been stirring up trouble recently.

After Shin finished assembling it, he sealed the Fire and Wind Release chakra into scrolls specially made by Cat Granny.

He also said to Orochimaru, "Alright, Snake Uncle, come and take a look."

Cat Granny was… no, it's Cat Big Sister now.

Cat Big Sister was the owner of the original ninja tool shop. Chiken promised her a shop in the commercial street to take over this shop and turn it into a factory for Shin.

Orochimaru temporarily suppressed his thoughts and went straight to the dark, unaesthetic washing machine.

After a long time, he finally made an evaluation: "It's really ugly, Shin. Can't you design its appearance to be a little more beautiful?"

"This is just a prototype, and the machine is for use, the appearance is not important!"

Shin said so, but in his heart, he was already planning to design a high-end model to fleece the sheep.

Golden and glittering, specially for fleecing the wealthy families of Konoha.

"That's right, appearance is not important!" Orochimaru savored this sentence, which had quite a philosophical meaning.

If Shin knew that this was the reason why the things Orochimaru designed in the future were so ugly, he would definitely regret it.

The prototype washing machine, because there was no circuit board inside, used paper specially made by Cat Big Sister to display the screen mode.

The internal chakra transmission used copper wires made with the same process as sealing scrolls.

This was a choice made to facilitate direct improvement after a large power station was built in the future.

Shin connected the water pipe to ensure it was sealed and put his Uchiha coat, which was covered in a lot of dust, into the washing machine.

Then he pressed the switch and selected the quick wash mode.

"Next, it's time to witness a miracle!" Shin spread his hands wide, signaling Orochimaru to come forward and observe.

"This… it's actually running successfully!"

"Of course, the prototype is rough and noisy, but at this very moment, the first fully automatic washing machine in the ninja world has been born!" The great scientist Shin proudly announced this news that shocked the ninja world.

The successful start-up of the prototype directly proved the possibility of chakra replacing electricity.

Therefore, those appliances from his previous life only needed time to be brought into this world one by one.

"!!!"

Orochimaru was exceptionally excited at this moment.

Reality had proven the correctness of the theory, and based on this, even more machines with different uses could be developed.

For example, heating food? Freezing drinks? Even transmitting images?

He really had too many ideas he wanted to turn into reality, until Shin handed him several scrolls.

"Shin, what's this?"

"A microwave and a refrigerator, but because these two require the simultaneous use of two Elemental Chakra Modes, I don't have too many solutions for the time being..."

"The last one is a television. It's the most troublesome of them all. I haven't figured out how to achieve signal transmission yet."

"???" Orochimaru ultimately joined the ranks of the confused.

He had just been complacent because of new ideas, but now he was completely deflated.

"Scientists and ninjas are completely unrelated..." Orochimaru roared inwardly.

He was starting to not understand this world.

"Snake-uncle, do you have any ideas?"

Stunned to the point of being unable to reply verbally, Orochimaru shook his head to indicate no.

He didn't even refute the nickname "Snake-uncle."

"Then what should we do? I don't have any good ideas right now." Shin began to guide him patiently.

"I... have an idea... use two copper wires to... transmit chakra separately... that should... work." Orochimaru's voice trembled slightly.

"But if the chakra isn't insulated, it will easily interfere with each other." Shin questioned before reminding him.

He didn't have time to take all kinds of materials from the Naruto world and try them one by one to see if they were insulated against chakra.

Now he was casting bait, waiting for the other party to take it.

"I've got it! What if we wrap the copper wires? This will maintain stability and prevent chakra from interfering with each other." Orochimaru excitedly stated the solution.

Seeing him take the bait, Shin smiled, "Then what material should we choose? There aren't many things that can isolate chakra interference, and I still have many ninjutsu that need to be improved."

"Material?" Orochimaru didn't take his latter words to heart.

In Orochimaru's view, improving ninjutsu was nothing more than making it more powerful. This could not be compared with the washing machine in front of him, which was ugly in appearance but contained beauty inside.

Indeed, machinery is a man's romance, and this sentence is universal in any world.

"How about this, Snake-uncle? Our Uchiha Group Research Division is still lacking a chief consultant. How about we hire you to take on the role?" Shin revealed the cleaver he had been charging up for a long time.

Only then did Orochimaru realize that this was all a setup, and it was set up for him by a child.

But for the future science fanatic, even if it was a trap, he had to step into it. He agreed almost without thinking, "No problem, I agree."

Two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, looked at each other, and both of them tacitly reached out and shook hands.

"Happy cooperation!" X2

Thus, Orochimaru, who originally dreamed of researching ninjutsu to the extreme and becoming the strongest in the ninja world, had his original intention changed by Shin's few words and embarked on the path of scientific research ahead of schedule.
