Kazeka: Naruto, go use your Sexy Jutsu on them!

"Kazeka, do you think I'm afraid of your experiments just because I'm a ninja? I'm warning you—let me go now, or you'll regret it!"

"Tch... Kazeka, stop your experiments this instant, and I'll pretend nothing happened... Aaah!"

"Isn't the experiment over yet? You... don't come any closer!"

Inside the laboratory, Hideo Hyuga's terrified screams echoed.

Ordinary physical torture was already a required course for ninjas.

Yet Hideo Hyuga, a Chunin, could still produce such a fearful sound.

This alone showed just how horrifying Kazeka's experiments truly were.

The heavy metal door of the lab slid open slowly, and thick, bloody mist seeped out from the billowing cold vapor.

Kazeka stepped out through the sticky pool of blood, the hem of his white lab coat dripping dark red mixed with tissue fluid.

"What a... magnificent reaction."

He licked the blood splattered on his lips and casually brushed back his hair, which was dripping blood onto his forehead.

Glancing at Hinata beside him, Kazeka couldn't help but reveal a look of longing:

"Even just studying a branch family member has shown me such immense potential—the nerves' influence on the Byakugan, the differences in retinal reflection...

Hinata, if you were the one I studied, it would be even more wonderful!"

"Whatever..."

Hinata's expression remained as cold as before:

"If it's for getting stronger, just surgery—take this body and use it however you want. As for that guy, Hideo..."

Through the glass, she looked at Hideo on the operating table. At some point, Hinata had changed into a black windbreaker, and she snorted coldly:

"Can't even endure a little pain—what a useless waste. Keeping him around is just a drain on resources!"

"He's still from the same clan..."

Kazeka clicked his tongue:

"Hinata, you really show no mercy, do you?"

"The one who can cut open a clansman without flinching doesn't exactly have the right to say that to me."

"About that..."

"Evil bastard, take this—Righteous Naruto-sama's strike!"

Just as Kazeka was about to retort to Hinata, a sudden shout came from behind him.

A boy with a spiky yellow head of hair burst noisily into the lab building, charging straight at Kazeka!

Naruto Uzumaki, the strongest talk-no-jutsu ninja in history, could single-handedly talk powerful bosses to death with just his mouth.

His mental fortitude was ironclad—he'd grown up under the village's constant gaslighting.

Not only had he not broken, but he'd constantly pulled pranks on those who bullied him, trying to fight back against fate's injustice.

Still, that gaslighting had ultimately succeeded.

Because as the son of the Fourth Hokage, whose parents had sacrificed themselves for the village, he'd received no compensation growing up—instead, he was hated by the entire village.

Yet this guy never thought of destroying Konoha; instead, he wanted to become Hokage and earn everyone's recognition.

That kind of behavior couldn't be explained by mere love and peace.

With Naruto as a precedent, Kazeka had once considered running some gaslighting experiments himself, but he'd shelved them due to lack of time.

Now, seeing Naruto approach, Kazeka felt a surge of excitement. Besides his personality, this guy also had a Tailed Beast sealed inside him.

That was the equivalent of a nuclear weapon in the ninja world—capable of easily destroying a village, well worth studying.

And now this guy had come to him on his own—clearly a golden opportunity!

But just as Kazeka was about to meet Naruto's attack, Hinata stepped in front of him.

"Hinata, what's the meaning of this?"

Seeing Hinata block his strike, Naruto's eyes widened:

"Why are you protecting that evil bastard?"

"Simple!"

Hinata snorted coldly:

"As a researcher, Kazeka needs to focus all his energy on studying Hideo Hyuga. So when it comes to you, of course I'll be the one to stop you!"

"What!"

Hearing this, Naruto was startled at first, then a look of embarrassment crept onto his face:

"From the way you two looked earlier, I thought Kazeka had captured your clansman and was forcing you to come here for experiments!"

"Brainless idiot. For someone who's supposed to be a student at the Ninja Academy, your intelligence gathering is just that pathetic?"

Her personality temporarily shifted to that of a delinquent young lady, making Hinata quite sharp-tongued now:

"I seriously doubt you'll even graduate smoothly in a couple of days!"

"Don't say that..."

Watching Naruto's awkwardness, unlike Hinata, Hefeng forced a smile.

Though it looked rather sinister:

"I brought Hinata Hideo here to study our clan's Byakugan and get more precise data.

To further elevate our clan's strength...

You must have felt that from my spar with Hinata just now!

And the ninjas I can help aren't limited to our Hyuga clan—I can even help you!"

"So, interested? We're classmates, so I'll give you a deal—just five experiments a day!"

"Really?!"

Hearing Hefeng's words, Naruto wasn't terrified but rather excited.

He had already noticed Hefeng and had been secretly observing him.

Unlike the other villagers who changed color at the mention, Naruto had carefully noted that while Hefeng's experiments were terrifying, the strength gains were real!

Especially Hinata's transformation today—though her personality seemed a bit off, her skyrocketing combat power couldn't be faked!

Naruto had always aimed to become Hokage, and one thing you couldn't bypass was immense strength.

For that, he would endure even the most horrifying experiments!

"But..."

Naruto looked at Hefeng with lingering fear:

"You won't turn me into a monster, will you?"

"Don't worry, I've long passed that primitive stage..."

Hefeng waved his hand:

"Unless it's a special case, my body modifications won't change your appearance!"

"That's good!"

With no more worries, Naruto grew excited and laughed loudly, pointing at Hefeng:

"Hefeng, rest assured, once this future Hokage gets stronger and beats that old man Third, I'll support your lab right away and throw some extra funding your way!"

"Hefeng, so you're here!"

"You evil bastard, let Hideo go!"

"Hefeng, stay away from the young lady!"

Hefeng's conversation was interrupted again, and this time, three Hyuga clan members with Byakugan arrived!

"Naruto, Hideo's experiment data will take a while to come out. Now's your test..."

Seeing them, Hefeng clicked his tongue in annoyance:

"Go hold off these three!"

"Hold off three Hyuga chunin..."

Naruto stared at Hefeng in shock:

"Me?"

"Don't underestimate your own potential!"

Hefeng gave Naruto a confident look:

"I remember you have that trump card, the Sexy Jutsu, right? Go on, go seduce them now!"
