Buckling Down

"I'm doomed! Doomed!" Naruko sat on the ground, and she felt like her soul was leaving her body.

She's not a stranger to getting looked down upon by others due to the nine tails that's inside of her, but she imagined that it's going to get worse now due to his permanent gender change.

"No! I mustn't give up!" Naruko was determined and got up and went to Sasuke again to grab his shirt.

"SASUKE! You said you owe me, right?! You have to do your best and reverse this damned technique of yours!" Naruko said with an intense flare.

"Why do you even want me to try and turn you back? I did you a favor by turning you into a girl." I stood my ground and tried to refuse. After all, there's really no point in doing something that wouldn't work.

Naruko fumed: "WHAT FAVOR!?"

Seeing that Naruko bit the bait, I explained: "You use your Sexy Jutsu to take people by surprise, but thanks to me you won't have to use it anymore. You can just strip your clothes and save your chakra."

"Huh? That actually sounds logical…" Naruko paused for a bit before becoming angry again: "TO HELL WITH THAT! JUST TURN ME BACK!"

"Urgh… fine. However, you have to wait until both of our chakra returns to full capacity." I pried off Naruko's hand and took a few steps backward.

"YOU BETTER!" Naruko immediately sat down and began to meditate. One just needs to rest to passively regain chakra, but meditating does help with the process.

Seeing that Naruko had stopped bugging me, I turned around and jumped on the trees, heading back to the town.

But after just jumping a small distance away from Naruko, Jiraiya stopped me after storing away the painting scroll.

"Sasuke."

"What?" I replied to Jiraiya.

"You can try to reverse your Jutsu on Naruko, but you shouldn't use it any more after that. This Jutsu of yours might even be considered as a Forbidden Jutsu. All in all, I just want to tell you that you shouldn't mess with something that you can't control." Jiraiya had a serious look on his face. Right now, his happy go lucky look isn't anywhere to be seen.

I glanced back at Jiraiya and opened my mouth: "But I can control the Jutsu. It was never meant to be reversed in the first place."

After that, I jumped away and disappeared from Jiraiya's sight.

"This damned brat…!" Jiraiya cussed. It seems that Sasuke had some malicious intent to affect someone else's body. When he thought about the fact that Sasuke also tried to turn himself into a woman, Jiraiya felt fearful.

But deep down, he was also extremely shocked. If Sasuke is capable of creating such a technique, then his talent is immense. He will be invaluable to the village if he develops in the future.

However, his intent and personality needs extreme refining. Otherwise, he might become a threat instead of an asset.

"I've decided!" Jiraiya muttered. He made it his goal to also take Sasuke in as a disciple and train his personality. He couldn't let such a dangerous boy run and develop as he pleases. He needs to be molded!

With this thought in his mind, Jiraiya went back to ask about the details from 'Naruko'. The Naruto name really doesn't fit now…

…

…

I returned to the town and bought another painting scroll. To give up on this Jutsu of mine? Heck no! I believe that Jiraiya must be on crack or something. He should love this Jutsu instead of hating it.

After buying the painting scroll, I went to another shop and bought some ropes, chains, and a large backpack to store all the things.

I even went to a nearby hospital to steal some supplies such as: Scalpel, needles, medical components, and other medicine.

Itachi might be coming soon, so I needed to start doing some human experiments. With the information that I got on Itachi's disease, it should be some sort of lung disease.

Hence, my main research topic is going to be about creating perfect artificial organs and refining the organ transplantation method.

After that, I plan to use the research to create an artificial body that's without a soul. With that, I can take the Living Corpse Reanimation Jutsu from Ido and become semi immortal like Orochimama.

But unlike Orochimama, my immortality will not be thwarted by not having the perfect vessel because I'm going to make the perfect vessels myself.

But first things first… I entered a Real Estate building to rent a small and secluded mansion, using a part of the large 300 million Ryo check that I received from Naho's fat sister.

The secluded mansion wasn't anything fancy like the modern day mansions. It was just a small compound that's on the edge of the town. But even if it's at the edge of the town, the public security is extremely good. Not that they can prevent ninjas from barging in, though.

I'm only going to use it for about one month, but I ended up renting the mansion for a full year since that's the minimum rental time. It didn't cost too much, only 5 million Ryo. It's approximately 50 thousand USD after conversion.

Even though it'll be temporary, this place will be my first research lab. And the first human test subject… is Karenbana.
