Naruto, uncle, I am going to be Hokage!

An irresistible condition?

Scorpion sneered.

He really didn't know what condition he couldn't refuse.

There was only one thing in this world that could attract him, puppets, only puppets!

The pursuit of puppet art was his eternal belief in this life!

He joined the Akatsuki organization only because of the pressure from Tendou Pain and Konan. If he couldn't even save his life, how could he pursue the path of puppets?

A large part of the bodies of ninjas killed in the Akatsuki organization also flowed into his hands as materials for making puppets.

In the final analysis, everything was for the pursuit of puppet art!

"To be honest, I really don't know what you call an irresistible condition. There is nothing in this world that can arouse my interest except puppets."

"I'll show you something. After seeing that thing, you should change your mind."

Facing the sneer of Scorpion of the Red Sand, Namikaze Mirai did not explain anything and led the way from the front.

Scorpion hesitated for a moment and followed.

He also wanted to know what exactly Namikaze Mirai was planning.

What on earth could make Namikaze Mirai so confident that he would definitely change his mind after seeing it?

Passing through the narrow white passage, Namikaze Mirai stopped in front of the metal door, aimed his right eye at the iris scanner, and a red light swept across it. With a roar, the metal door slowly opened to both sides.

"This is!!!"

Scorpion was stunned.

If he was still a human body, he would be so shocked that his hair stood up and his heart beat violently.

"Puppet? Such a big puppet?!"

"No! It's a mecha!"

Namikaze Mirai next to him looked at his masterpiece with a satisfied smile in his eyes. It was over 100 meters tall, with a strong line of pure metal body, huge metal dorsal wings on the back, and a slender red lightsaber in his right hand.

The latest model of mecha developed by the Research Department.

In terms of appearance, it already has all the conditions of a mecha.

Before it can be officially put into use, several important technical difficulties need to be overcome.

"Machine? Mecha?"

The huge emotional turmoil made Scorpion's voice tremble a little.

Looking up at this perfect puppet that almost appeared from a dream, it was as if a nuclear bomb was ignited in his mind, and the trembling feeling like an electric shock spread throughout his body.

Art!

This is the real art!

Scorpion could not describe his feelings at the moment in words.

If he had to describe it, it was like a god-like existence opened a door in his mind, and a new world unfolded before his eyes.

All his past cognition about puppetry was shattered at this moment!

"How is such a large puppet made? If it is controlled, the chakra consumed must be an astronomical figure, right?"

Scorpion said all his questions in one go, he was full of too many questions.

How was such an ultimate puppet built?

"I have already said that this is a mecha, not a puppet. It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build it. As for driving a mecha..."

Namikaze Mirai paused.

"The driver controls the mecha from inside, and does not need to consume chakra."

No need to consume chakra?

Controlled from inside?

Another shocking piece of information, Scorpion has become numb.

He suddenly felt that he had lived like a dog in the first half of his life. When he thought of the human puppets he had made before, he felt a strong sense of shame.

Is that also a puppet?

In front of this puppet called "Mecha", all his works, including the three-generation Kazekage human puppet, are as pale and powerless as dust.

"Please let me participate in the production of mecha! Being able to join the creation of this great art, my life is not wasted, let me do anything!"

Compared to his previous tough and dismissive attitude, after witnessing the ultimate puppet art of mecha with his own eyes, Scorpion realized how backward his puppet art was in front of the ultimate puppet called mecha.

He almost pleaded in a tone, hoping to participate in the production of mecha.

After seeing the true art, it would be more painful for him to go back to the puppet making of the past than to kill him.

Looking at the humble Scorpion, Namikaze Mirai smiled with a successful plan.

As he expected, no man can resist the temptation of mecha.

Especially for a ninja like Scorpion who regards puppet making as his life!

"Joining Konoha is equivalent to leaving the Akatsuki organization. Have you thought it through?"

"Of course."

Scorpion answered quite straightforwardly.

In order to pursue the ultimate art of puppeteer, he became a rebel ninja of Akatsuki and was hunted by Akatsuki.

After witnessing puppets like mecha, Scorpion was no longer willing to go back to his past life.

From this perspective, he should thank Hiruko. If it weren't for his betrayal, he would not have seen the ultimate art of puppets!

Thank you, but revenge is a must.

He has always been a person who will take revenge.

Scorpion has already thought of how to take revenge on Hiruko.

Control the ultimate puppet mecha and send Hiruko off in horror and fear. Let Hiruko be the first sacrifice of the mecha!

It is his greatest honor to be able to see the ultimate art of mecha before death!

"In this case, Scorpion, you will be the chief engineer of mecha development. With your ability, you should be able to promote the development of mecha."

Mirai Namikaze made a decision.

Letting Scorpion be the engineer of mecha development is his idea after careful consideration.

In the ninja world, no ninja has accumulated more puppets than Scorpion.

His experience and enthusiasm for mecha construction will be a great help to promote the progress of Konoha mecha research.

There is no need to worry about safety issues.

Scorpion, who transformed his body into a puppet, was defeated by Namikaze Mirai!

At the moment of Scorpion's capture, a small drop of magnetic fluid was integrated into the regeneration core in a way that Scorpion could not detect.

It can be said that Scorpion has completely become his shape now.

Life and death are only a matter of thought.

Just as Scorpion was imagining the wonderful life of studying mecha, a hoarse and slightly magnetic voice came, causing Scorpion's body to tremble.

"Long time no see, Scorpion."

Turning his head, a familiar figure came into view, with pale skin and golden vertical pupils with a meaningful smile.

"Orochimaru."

Scorpion of the Red Sand had a disgusted look on his face.

When he was in the Akatsuki organization, he hated Orochimaru the most, as they were both pursuers of human body art.

Orochimaru pursued biotechnology and used his mortal body to sprint to the realm of immortality.

He chose another completely opposite path, abandoning the useless burden of the flesh, replacing the flesh with puppets, and ascending mechanically.

The inability to reconcile their ideas has made the relationship between Scorpion and Orochimaru always hostile. Every time they meet, they always mock each other.

"Scorpion, I didn't expect that even you defected from the Akatsuki organization. It seems that the leader is really unpopular."

"Humph! I didn't defect from the organization, but Konoha has something more worth pursuing for me!"

"Oh? What pursuit?" Orochimaru licked his lips, and a hint of interest appeared in his golden vertical pupils.

The mockery on Scorpion's face suddenly disappeared, and he restrained his expression and stared at him with a meaningful look.

"You will never know the attraction of a top-level puppet to a puppeteer."

Top-level puppet?

Orochimaru looked at the giant mecha behind Scorpion, which was almost towering, and his eyes showed enlightenment.

The only thing that can make Scorpion so fanatical is probably the mecha.

Namikaze Mirai, who witnessed the conversation between the two, put his hands on their shoulders respectively.

"From today on, you are colleagues."

Scorpion looked frustrated.

When he was in Akatsuki, he and Orochimaru were partners, and he had had enough of this stinky snake.

He didn't expect that after joining Konoha, he would still be a partner with this snake.

Is Orochimaru his destined opponent?

There is no way to escape.

Compared with Scorpion's frustration, Orochimaru was very open-minded and enjoyed Scorpion's expression.

"Haha, it's really interesting."

He suddenly began to look forward to the days of working with Scorpion in the future.

...

After dealing with the matter between Scorpion and Orochimaru, Namikaze Mirai returned to the Hokage room.

An unexpected person was waiting for him there.

"Hokage-sama, this is the harvest of the peacekeeping force during this period."

Uchiha Shisui placed a scroll and a thick metal box on the Hokage's desk.

As a hand placed by Konoha, the peacekeeping force has always played the important role of the world police.

All enemies who intend to destroy the peace of the ninja world will be purged by the peacekeeping force.

The two things that Shisui presented were the goods that the peacekeeping force had received during this period.

Opening the scroll and looking at the detailed records in the scroll, a small ninja village or an enemy who intended to destroy the peace of the ninja world was suppressed by the peacekeeping force.

Namikaze Mirai nodded.

He showed praise.

It was right to let Shisui be the leader of the peacekeeping force. Maintaining the peace of the ninja world has become Shisui's lifelong belief.

Noticing a data recorded in the scroll, Namikaze Mirai's blue eyes were surprised and asked in disbelief.

"More than half of the Uchiha in the peacekeeping force have opened the three magatama?"

"Yes, there are currently 156 Uchiha clan members in the peacekeeping department, half of whom have three magatama, and most of the others have double magatama, and only a few have single magatama."

This is a very terrifying number.

All members have Sharingan, and half have three magatama.

It can be said that the strongest strength of the entire Uchiha clan is concentrated in the peacekeeping force.

What surprised Mirai Namikaze the most was that at the beginning of the peacekeeping force, there were not so many three-magatama, and the number of double-magatama was far less than now.

"During the last evil god incident, there were not so many three-magatama, right? Could it be that something happened during this period of time?"

Faced with Mirai Namikaze's question, Uchiha Shisui looked at the heavy metal box on the Hokage's desk with some embarrassment.

"The answer is in another box."

Mirai Namikaze was interested. He was very curious about what kind of thing could make the Uchiha's strength transform again.

With a click, he opened the metal box, and the object that came into his sight made him slightly startled.

"What is this?"

A stone?

No, to be precise, it was a meteorite that emitted a faint purple glow all over its body, covered with uneven pits.

Just as he was about to take out the meteorite, he heard Shisui's exclamation in his ear.

"Hokage, please don't touch it directly. This thing has radiation!"

"It's okay."

Namikaze Mirai ignored his reminder.

He picked up the meteorite and played with it carefully in his hand.

It's just a little bit of radiation.

It won't have any effect on him.

Feeling the radiation power emitted by the meteorite in his palm, Namikaze Mirai pondered.

"So, you absorbed the power of this meteorite, and the Sharingan was able to advance again?"

"Yes."

That's true.

Namikaze Mirai was speechless.

Uchiha absorbed nuclear radiation, and was able to advance the Sharingan?

There is actually such a thing.

"We received intelligence that the Hidden Star Village was hiding dangerous items, which was a risk to the peace of the ninja world, so we rushed to the Hidden Star Village without stopping. We found this meteorite in the shrine of the Hidden Star Village. After negotiations, the peacekeeping force kept it for us."

"In the process, we accidentally obtained the secret method of the Hidden Star Village that relied on meteorites for cultivation. After running it, we found that it could promote the advancement of the Sharingan to a certain extent."

Shisui's explanation was quite euphemistic, and he added his own polish.

Namikaze Mirai could imagine that the negotiation process must not be so friendly.

But this is not the point.

Playing with the meteorite in his hand, his eyes showed interest.

Can nuclear radiation make the Sharingan advanced?

Mutation?

Could it be that the Sharingan's advancement from a single magatama to a three magatama is a process of genetic mutation?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that Namikaze Mirai thought it was possible.

The blood limit can be passed on to the next generation, indicating that it is a dominant genetic mutation.

The Sharingan's advancement may be due to the manifestation of this gene.

And nuclear radiation accelerated this process.

"I'll keep this meteorite here for now. I'll ask the research department to study it carefully."

Namikaze Mirai pondered.

Orochimaru should be very interested in this topic.

"By the way, this is for you."

Namikaze Mirai took out a kunai and handed it to Shisui.

The unique three-pronged shape of the kunai made Shisui's pupils shrink.

He had seen the same kunai before, on the famous skills of the Fourth Hokage!

"Hokage-sama, could it be that you have already..."

When Shisui thought of that possibility, he was so excited that he was incoherent.

Flying Thunder God!

Could it be that the Hokage has already mastered the famous skills of the Fourth Hokage?

At this moment, the Namikaze Mirai in front of him seemed to have become a combination of the Fourth and Fifth Hokage.

"Yes."

Namikaze Mirai smiled.

The practice of Flying Thunder God is complicated and took him a lot of time, but he finally succeeded.

"This is my unique Flying Thunder God Kunai. When the peacekeeping force is in danger, you can summon me through this kunai."

The weight of the kunai in his hand suddenly became heavy. This sentence can be said to be the official recognition of Namikaze Mirai!

With Namikaze Mirai as a backing, the peacekeeping force can maintain the peace of the ninja world without any scruples!

As if thinking of something, Shisui subconsciously looked at the kunai handle.

The Flying Thunder God mark engraved on the fourth generation kunai is "Sword of Ninja Love", and what is the fifth generation Namikaze Mirai?

The four words that came into his eyes made him stunned.

"Conquer people with virtue???"

Is the Hokage admonishing them to conquer people with virtue and use virtue to influence those who intend to endanger the peace of the ninja world?

Lord Hokage, thank you for your trouble!

The Uchiha peacekeeping force must remember your teachings!

The fire in Shisui's eyes burned!

"There is another thing I need to trouble you with, Lord Hokage. I found a boy named Bai in the Frost Country who has mastered the Ice Release Bloodline Genkai. I brought him back to Konoha, hoping that he can receive education from Konoha."

Bai is a wandering ninja and a ninja from another village. Bringing him back to Konoha does not comply with Konoha's regulations.

But Shisui cherishes his talent and hopes that he can get a better education.

"Ice Release? Bai?"

Without even thinking about it, Namikaze Mirai agreed to Shisui's idea.

He had been trying to develop Konoha into the center of the ninja world and recruit talents from the ninja world.

Haku, who had awakened the Ice Release Bloodline Genkai, was a worthy existence in any ninja village.

Not to mention that Haku was a wandering ninja, even if he was a ninja from an enemy village, Namikaze Mirai had the confidence to turn him into the shape of Konoha.

"Great."

Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

The Hokage had agreed, so he could go and handle Haku's enrollment.

I wonder if Haku can get along well with the students in the ninja school?
