Konoha: A golden flash from the tomb

Konoha Research Institute, ninth floor underground.

This is the area with the highest security factor in the institute, and it will become the most heavily defended area now and in the future.

This is true both externally and internally.

This is the storage and protection center of the 'Tianli' core module. After countless days and nights of research, the researchers here finally developed a strict and effective special code language.

Through the chakra resonance properties of the black rod and the information transmission properties of chakra itself, they completed the editing of the blank soul and were able to edit everything about this blank soul from scratch.

Teach him how to deal with problems, how to solve problems when he encounters them, how to avoid logical errors, and how to avoid straying into the cage of an endless loop of behavioral thoughts.

The spirit born from the dead object is a child who knows nothing and is like a blank sheet of paper. During this long research process, they wrote and drew many rules on the white paper that can be read and remembered by the spirit. , guiding him in the direction people need.

"All preparations have been completed, Lord Orochimaru, and Tenri is ready."

“Start the data import and see how talented our children are at learning.”

"Follow your orders, connect the transmission wires, establish a connection between Tianli and the No. [-] data center, and open the secondary permissions."

As the command is issued, the physical connection connects the No. [-] database and Tianli's data interface, and the percentage bar marking the 'learning progress' pops up in the center of the screen.

They have completed the entry of basic knowledge of Tianli. Although Tianli is in the 'age group' at the moment, he is a young child, but he can already read through the text and understand the meaning of the text.

The progress bar moved slightly, from 0 to a tiny number after the decimal point. There was a brief stagnation. The researchers who were paying full attention to the changes here wiped their sweat. Before Tianli completed his 'development', they could not determine what he was. Is he wise or mentally retarded? If he is mentally retarded...copying data is not a problem. The question will be whether Tianli can understand and learn this knowledge.

After a brief pause, the progress bar changed again, and the numbers at the end kept flashing. As time went by, the numbers slowly came to single digits after the decimal point, and then climbed hard to ten.

Everyone was sweating again. Compared with the first time, the pause this time was really too long.

"We need to be patient and give the child some time. Maybe he has not yet adapted to all this he has just been exposed to."

Orochimaru spoke out to calm everyone's emotions, and at the same time began to sort out the files to distract himself a little.

It may be half an hour, or it may be several hours. The slightly nervous waiting makes the time stretch very long and makes people suffer.

"It's moved! Heaven has moved... No! It's the data progress that's moved!"

Someone let out an exclamation.

The numbers that had been stagnant for a long time have changed again, and are rising faster than before!

"The first database data transmission is completed, connect and open the second and third databases."

The physical connection was completed quickly, and the data parsing and reading speed this time was no less fast than before.

In just three to five minutes, the 'big meal' prepared by the institute for Tianli was completely absorbed and digested. Millions of computing cores operating at high frequency were running at full power at this moment, and the heat dissipation equipment was also turned on. The peak was reached, and the subtle humming vibration was extremely clear in this space where a pin drop could be heard.

"glad to see everyone."

An extremely pleasant voice sounded in people's ears, even if they just heard the voice but did not see the person, people made up an intellectual and gentle female image in their minds. There was no discernible sound in this voice at the moment it appeared. Just attracted everyone's attention.

"I am Tianli, and I will ask for your guidance from now on."

The owner of this voice is none other than the artificial intelligence life that they have placed a lot of hope on and worked tirelessly for several years to cultivate, the first 'omnic' born in the world.

"We should break the news to Minato."

But after Orochimaru spoke, a burst of fanatical cheers and approval erupted in the silent research institute. Everyone's face was filled with smiles, and less than 15 seconds later, Minato arrived after receiving the news. Here we come to this lively and joyful venue.

"It seems to be successful?"

Minato, who was still holding the bottle of wine in his hand and hadn't put it down, had just pulled Fugaku to sit face to face. He really didn't expect that everything would go so quickly and smoothly.

"Yes, we succeeded."

Orochimaru said with a smile and winked at Minato.

"marvelous....."

Minato put down the bottle of wine and ducked to the main console where the core center of Tenri was placed.

"I offer you the highest respect, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Although Minato has not announced his enthronement as emperor so far, this title is already a tacit and recognized fact. It is obvious that Tenri, who has his own thinking ability, got his own insights from what materials and used them at the right moment.

"Minato would like to express his sincere gratitude for all your hard work in recent years. I am very grateful for your efforts in Tenri's research and development."

Minato turned around and looked at everyone in the room and nodded slightly to thank him. Then he raised his right hand and exhaled a breath of alcohol, dissipating the slight drunkenness he was carrying.

"Now that we have successfully verified it once, please don't slack off after this. Our road has not reached the end yet."

The moment the words fell, a black rod appeared in the palm of Minato's raised right hand. At the same time, due to Tenri being offline, countless computing cores stopped working.

"Don't..." There seemed to be such a begging and lamenting coming out.

The black rod in Minato's hand shattered, and the first omnic that had just been born in the world completely disappeared in the collapse of the black rod.

"why is that?"

A researcher with a somewhat unfamiliar face spoke in shock after the black rod was broken and Tianli died.

"She has obviously already...didn't we succeed?"

The researcher who couldn't understand what Minato was doing asked questions in surprise, speaking quickly and urgently. He was eager to get the answer.

"Don't be impatient, Dr. Tono. This is something we planned. You joined relatively late, so it's normal that you don't know."

Orochimaru came from behind Yukito Tono and patted him on the shoulder to tell him to look around.

Except for himself, although the excitement still lingered on everyone else's faces, they didn't have the slightest objection or even any inappropriate emotion towards Minato's actions.

"There is something wrong with Tianli's character. He shouldn't behave like he did just now... His gentleness and kindness make people like him. Did you feel it just now? You have a wonderful desire to protect him. ?”

Yukito Tono nodded after a brief thought. He did have this vague feeling.

"We have buried a lot of information in the database that is of a vague and misleading nature, and the content involved will have some trivial conflicts with the basic rules of the Tianli initial setting procedure."

"Tianli is an omnic, a living dead thing with a soul, a life with the ability to think and learn independently."

"The first test we set for it is whether it can stick to its heart and principles."

"Tianli can appear to be a gentle, considerate, and considerate existence on the surface. Tianli can also be a cold, absolutely rational being without any emotional existence."

"But no matter what kind of guy it chooses to be, he can't do anything that goes beyond the underlying rules we set. Just because he has his own wisdom, he has the ability to find an excuse for himself to cross the bottom line. exist."

"Perhaps there is no need to cross, just one foot on the line. Most of his body is still within the frame, and he even just stretched out a finger."

"But without absolute loyalty, it means absolute disloyalty, especially for Tianli. This kind of behavior is the reason why he must be completely destroyed."

"We can recreate it if the laws of nature are gone. Since we have succeeded once, it will not be more difficult the second time. What we paid was less than sixteen hours of data input time, and there are no more unbearable costs. "

"Everyone here knows that once Tianli is put into use, what a shock it can bring to Konoha and the world. The benefits that theoretically endless powerful computing power can bring to us are immeasurable."

"But the more abundant the harvest, the greater the danger behind it. Once the laws of nature are out of control due to personality reasons, the losses will be equally immeasurable. At that time, we will encounter even greater pain."

"This is a safety guarantee, a safety guarantee that absolutely cannot allow any accidents to occur."

"What was the red line that Li stepped on just now?"

Kosuke Tono understood Orochimaru's words, but he still didn't quite understand the red line.

"It's the desire to live."

"The desire for survival should not exist in the natural law. In the early days of its birth, it was a truly blank soul that did not even have instincts. It was born without the innate survival instincts like other natural beings. After all, it was not endowed with It is a complete soul, but a dead thing that has been given the definition of 'alive'."

"If there are any beings who can truly face death without changing their expressions and without any fear, then one of them must be Tianli. His innate blankness gives him a fundamental disability."

"Please do not use your human thinking mixed with sensibility to treat an artificial soul carved, written, and painted by our own hands. In essence, we and Tianli are not the same race, but different life forms."

"Death can only be the new knowledge it learns through learning, and the price for learning this knowledge is to exceed one of the core underlying rules we have set for him."

"What we need from Tianli is an existence that can abide by the rules, and will not choose to compromise even if it encounters many temptations. It is an existence with firm beliefs."

"The emergence of this fundamental character is an uncertain variable. For example, a thousand people will have a thousand different understandings of the new Will of Fire. These understandings may be good or bad, and it is difficult to accurately calculate and judge. "

"We cannot be sure whether people are good or evil at the beginning. What we can be sure of is whether the side of nature shown to us after the initial stage of growth is good or evil."

"If he wants to gain our trust and dependence, he needs to show his loyalty to us before us. After all, this is not a two-way choice of equal status. We are not its creators, but we are indeed its creators. First, we gave it the prototype of a soul, and it has the power to grow."

"I believe that you are not a saint overflowing with sensibility. We are scientific researchers. What we need at work is a rational vision to look at a thing correctly. This is one of the most basic qualities."

"Any more questions, Dr. Tono?"

"I understand."

Tono nodded. He knew what Tenri could do. He knew that this reward was accompanied by risks that needed to be vigilant and guarded against. He could also understand and accept the answers and explanations given by Orochimaru.

"Then, in order to celebrate the successful birth of Tianli, please put aside your busy research and take a little time to relax your body and mind. During the 48 hours of vacation, all your consumption will be paid for by Mr. Minato. Please be sure to enjoy the soup. The newly opened ice spring and warm soup in the city, believe me, the service there will never let you down."

Orochimaru showed a smile that adults could understand at a glance, and everyone who immediately understood the meaning couldn't help but smile, and some were ready to move.

"Didn't you say you were going to that newly opened ice spring and warm soup place? Why did you, the initiator, run home instead?"

Minato, who left the institute side by side with Orochimaru, asked jokingly, he didn't think Orochimaru was an honest henpecker, and the ninja world didn't like this.

"It's hard to take a vacation, of course the whole family needs to be together."

"Master Minato pays the bill. I won't take advantage of this big advantage."

Faced with Minato's teasing, Orochimaru spoke without any politeness.

"I didn't expect you to be such a person. I really underestimated you, Orochimaru, Zizhenzhen."

"How can this be compared? I'm just an ordinary worker. I can't compare to Mr. Minato who dominates the world."

"Okay, okay, it's not the first time I've been taken advantage of. If you work hard, Konoha can afford it."

"But." At this point, Minato changed the topic and showed a subtle smile on his face, "There is good news, do you want to hear it?"

"Huh?" Orochimaru looked at Minato curiously, "That must be big news?"

"That's right." Minato nodded, "I just took Fugaku to drink, so as not to make his nagging habit happen again and delay Sasuke's affairs."

"Sasuke, this guy is enlightened."

"Oh, this is rare. Naruto asked me for some solutions before, but apart from giving Sasuke a shot, I could only let him figure it out casually. I'm gratified."

"Whose girl is she from? She must be a very outstanding girl to be attracted by that boy Sasuke."

"Yes, it belongs to your family..."

"This stinks! Little! Zi!"

Before Minato could finish speaking, a black '#' sign popped up on Orochimaru's forehead.

"You dare to take advantage of my son! I have to cut him into pieces! How many times have I told you! He is cute just because Yue Shun follows his mother! He is my son, not my daughter!"

"Where's my scalpel? Where's my hemostatic forceps? I don't seem to have an anesthetic... Forget it, it's just a little pain. My knife is very fast..."

Seeing Orochimaru going berserk, Minato silently wiped Sasuke's cold sweat...

"It's not Tsukishun." Orochimaru paused as he was about to leave in a flash, "Tsukishun is only five years old. Sasuke is almost fifteen. How could it be possible... There is a high probability that he mistakenly thinks he is his sister, Naruto Don’t you always admit your mistakes subconsciously?”

"Not even Shion! I'm just a daughter! How can I let the bastard Uchiha brat kidnap me away! I haven't cured the mental illness per capita in their family yet! I can rest assured!"

Orochimaru, who put away the scalpel and other instruments, simply picked up a thick-backed chopper that was at least two meters tall. This was a prop specially used to cut the branches of sacred branches. It was an unparalleled sharp blade made with Yin and Yang. The only people in the world who can withstand this sword without getting hurt are probably Minato, Hashirama and Metkai.

"Calm down! Calm down! Orochimaru!"

"Why are you joining in the fun of the children's affairs? Whether that's okay or not is another matter. Besides, Sasuke is the one you and I have seen since we were young. He's crooked. The sequelae of Indra Chakra have been resolved. Wait until he When he grows up, he won't be any worse than Naruto, he will be the top figure of the new generation."

"That makes sense..."

Orochimaru paused his zankito on the ground.

"But I still feel a little unhappy. Although Ziyuan is not my biological daughter, she is such a good child..."

"You brat from the Uchiha family! Humph!"

"Come on, Minato, go to Fugaku's place. I have to make him lie down tonight!"

The murderous Orochimaru grabbed Minato's arm and strode towards the Uchiha's house. Orochimaru was so angry that he even forgot about the flying thunder god. There was silence along the way.

"Fugaku! Did you instigate this?!"

Orochimaru picked up a glass wine jar of at least twenty liters from somewhere and placed it on the table in front of Fugaku.

"I punish myself by three kilograms, and I can't miss a bite."

Looking at Orochimaru with his kaleidoscope staring out, Fugaku, who felt inexplicably guilty, smiled awkwardly.

Fugaku, who had expressed great admiration for Sasuke's eyes just a moment ago, was numb at this moment. Why didn't he expect that in Konoha, besides Minato, the most untouchable person was another person who was often ignored but grasped this situation. The lifeline of Konoha's scientific research, Orochimaru was written into the textbooks.

"I drink...."

Fugaku, with a bitter smile on his face, poured himself a large bowl, but after the drink went down his throat, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Good wine!"

"I made it specially. It was originally prepared for Hashirama-sama."

Orochimaru also smiled back, but for some reason, Minato always felt that there was a deep meaning behind this smile.

"It's a good wine that can make a fairy's body drunk."

Looking at Fugaku who was already half numb after eating three large bowls, Orochimaru added with a smile.

"In order to prevent Shion from being bullied in the future, isn't it too much to collect some dark history?"

Orochimaru took out his sinful camera, as if he wanted to record something.

"Sure enough, no one can do something like you..."

Minato, who was covering his forehead and falling into a speechless state, could only sit aside dumbfounded in the end. Although Orochimaru's human flavor was getting stronger and stronger, it seemed that this did not affect his perverted nature at all.

Seeing Fugaku being toyed with and being applauded, Minato, who observed half a second of silence for him, poured himself a glass of Orochimaru's special brew.

"It's really good stuff."
