Unscientific Scientist From Sunagakure - Chapter 173
Through Sasuke’s experiment, Muzake confirmed two things:
First, VR, virtual reality technology, is genuinely compelling.
Second, the script is equally crucial. A flawed, unrealistic script simply cannot evoke genuine emotional responses. It’s like being moved by characters in TV shows, movies, or novels, but you are not them. Writing book scripting—is truly a painful task. Without inspiration, it’s like being constipated.
Never mind.
Both Uchiha brothers have their Mangekyo Sharingan now.
They won’t need this technology for the time being.
Muzake told Sasuke, “Then go and experience your new power.”
Sasuke responded, “I won’t mention today to anyone.”
Muzake nodded.
Sasuke removed his helmet and stood up, pausing momentarily before speaking, “My lord, was everything I saw real?”
Muzake didn’t answer with a simple yes or no but instead told him the story of Zhuangzi dreaming he was a butterfly.
“Can you distinguish it clearly?”
“If you can discern, are you not Sasuke?”
“Is the brotherly love you have any less real?”
Sasuke pondered; the underlying meaning was profound and even applicable to ninjutsu.
“Thank you, my lord.”
As Sasuke left, Muzake took a moment to recuperate before putting the helmet back on. It was time to nourish the Saber Princess.
The electromagnetic signals intensified.
Brainwave enhancement surged.
Suddenly, Muzake felt like he was in the vastness of space or a bustling marketplace.
Images and sounds bombarded his mind; countless people surrounded him—clear and blurred. Their voices are loud or soft.
Professor X uses brainwave enhancement machines to locate mutants worldwide.
Muzake, however, modified its use.
The metal ninja tools he sold were receivers and transmitters of electromagnetic signals.
He could use the brainwave enhancement machine to boost his brainwaves and then receive and send electromagnetic signals.
Thus, he could monitor everyone who had purchased his metal ninja tools.
This was the reason he didn’t want others to know.
He could pull people into illusions directly if his mental power were strong enough.
This would be the electromagnetic version of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But Muzake was not insane.
Why would he isolate himself with a server for no reason?
Currently, he uses this setup to provide sustenance for the Saber Princess.
The richness of human mental activity was her food.
The monitoring clarity depended on proximity; the closer and more numerous the ninja tools, the more precise the monitoring.
Naturally, the most precise feedback came from Village Hidden in the Sand.
Every building there could be considered his ninja tool.

What was Orochimaru doing dragging Karin around with that lustful look?
Muzake zoomed in on the camera.
Orochimaru’s voice came through clearly.
“Karin, have you and Sasuke done it?”
Usually open and straightforward, Karin blushed deeply at Orochimaru’s directness and quickly shook her head.
Orochimaru looked disappointed and encouraged Karin like a nagging elder urging marriage and childbirth.
“Ah, you should hurry.”
“If you do it, Uncle Snake has medicine here.”
Karin screamed and ran off.
Orochimaru, puzzled,
“What’s there to be embarrassed about?”
If Sasuke didn’t dislike me.
I could have transformed into a woman for him.
Orochimaru wanted to unlock the secrets of the Sharingan and was even willing to play the midwife.
Orochimaru complained.
“It would be better if the lord let me clone.”
“It’s all the lord’s fault.”
Muzake made a note in his notebook.
Good.
If you create a bunch of Sasukes.
Which one would Karin choose?
Which one would Itachi acknowledge as his brother? My village may see a great Uchiha showdown.
The camera panned back.
Muzake saw Kurotsuchi.
After finishing her duties, Kurotsuchi happily flew outside the village with her bamboo dragonfly.
This feeling was quite interesting.
Through the signal from the bamboo dragonfly,
Muzake could feel her joy.
Girls do like the feeling of flying.
“Dragon Veins.”
“Centipede.”
Among the jumble of voices, two words caught Muzake’s attention.
He traced the source of the sounds.
Indeed, it was in Yamato’s room.
Yamato, Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura were sitting around a table.
A scroll lay on the table.
It was an order from Tsunade, along with a Chakra Blade.
They were assigned to capture a ninja known as “Centipede.”
Kakashi briefed the mission.
“According to intelligence, Centipede aims for the ruins of ‘Loulan’ in the Demon Desert, where our village’s sealed Dragon Veins are located.”
“Dragon Veins possess immense power; we must not let it fall into Centipede’s hands.”
“Lady Tsunade believes since we are in the Sand Village, the task should be ours to complete.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Kakashi spoke solemnly, “Now, I’ll assign the tasks.”
“Yamato.”
“Here.”
“Naruto.”
“Here.”
“Sakura.”
“Here.”
Kakashi: “You three take the Chakra Blade and pursue Centipede.”
Yamato (???).
“So what about you, senior?”
Kakashi: “As you operate within the Sand Village, in case of an emergency, of course, someone needs to negotiate with the Sand Ninja.”
Kakashi slapped the table.
“Besides me, who else is capable of accomplishing this task?”
Yamato
You make a good point.
I’m at a loss for words.
…
Senior.
Why do I feel a warmth on my back?
