This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 115 Welfare Distribution Time

Nishikawa Tetsu held a list in his hand, looking at the dozens of white metal boxes that had just rolled off the production line, neatly arranged, with a smile on his face that would make anyone who knew him feel uneasy.

"Mizuki, notify the construction team to bring their tools. We're about to begin... no, I mean, welfare distribution."

……

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at the boy who was directing people to drill holes in the wall of his office, forgetting to light the cigarette in his pipe.

"Che, isn't this... a bit too much of an expense?"

The Third Hokage looked at the brand-new machine. Although he didn't know what it was for, he knew from its exquisite workmanship that it must have cost a fortune.

"Lord Hokage, this is the latest achievement of the research institute. As the leader of the village, you should be the first to experience it."

While handing screwdrivers to the workers, Nishikawa Tetsu said with a smile, "Besides, it's free. If you find it useful, you can just sign off on it when we promote it in the village."

Upon hearing the word "free," coupled with the noble cause of supporting the research of his juniors, Hiruzen Sarutobi's frugal and thrifty nature was instantly soothed.

"Since it's the children's wish... let's pretend it."

The third generation relit the pipe, looking at the air vent with a little bit of anticipation.

……

Police Department, Captain's Office.

Fugaku Uchiha was sitting upright at his desk, holding the monthly report he had just approved, and was about to stamp it.

He was in a good mood today because Nara Shikaku, that lazybones, finally handed in the financial statements that had been piling up for a week, even though the handwriting was very messy.

Just then.

"Zzz—!!!!"

A deafening roar, like the sound of an electric drill tearing through eardrums, suddenly exploded on the wall, causing Fugaku's hand to tremble. The seal slipped from his grasp, leaving a long red trail on the precious financial statement before finally stopping at a zero, turning the original five million taels into fifty million taels.

"Enemy attack?!"

Fugaku suddenly stood up, his three-tomoe Sharingan instantly activated, and he already held three kunai in his hands. His chakra was like a volcano about to erupt, and the temperature in the entire office rose several degrees.

However, the next second, the office door was pushed open.

Nishikawa Tetsu directed two engineers to carry two heavy machines as they swaggered in, completely ignoring the murderous aura emanating from Fugaku that was enough to make even a Chunin kneel.

"Hang the one on the left higher up, so it doesn't block the team leader's view. The one on the right is the outdoor unit; remember to connect the drain pipe properly, so it doesn't drip and flood the downstairs area."

"Nishikawa Toru!!!"

Looking at the mess on the floor and the expanding hole in the wall, Fugaku's forehead veins bulged, and he practically spat out those words through clenched teeth.

"I'm working here, this is a highly confidential area, are you trying to demolish my office?!"

"Oh, please calm down, senior."

Nishikawa Tetsu put down the blueprints in his hand and looked at the furious Fugaku with an innocent expression.

"Didn't I mention to you last week that I wanted to send you something? It might be a bit noisy."

"You mentioned it?"

Fugaku paused for a moment, his Sharingan spinning rapidly as he began searching his memories.

It seems... that's indeed the case?

One afternoon last week, when he was having a headache because of a complaint report, Nishikawa Tetsu did indeed float over and say, "Senior, I'll send a cooling medicine to your office in a few days. There might be some noise then."

He was annoyed at the time, so he casually replied, "Okay, okay, stop arguing," and then forgot about it.

But he never expected that when Nishikawa Tetsu said "some movement," he meant to make a hole in the wall of his office.

"Senior, you see, you've already agreed."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to himself, then to the two workers who were still digging holes, with an expression that said, "We're doing this renovation on official orders."

"According to the weather team's forecast, this year will be an unprecedented heat wave. In order to ensure that you can keep a calm mind in the sweltering summer and not lose your temper and deduct everyone's bonus because of the heat, I have decided to install this Cooling No. 1 for you in advance."

"I don't need it, the Uchiha aren't afraid of the heat!" Fugaku was still making a last-ditch effort.

"Come on, who was it that was so hot last time that they unbuttoned three buttons of their collar?"

Nishikawa Tetsu waved his hand, pushing Fugaku towards the door like a duck being herded.

"Alright, alright, senior, why don't you go for a stroll or go next door to chat with Minato about life? It's too dusty here, it's bad for your lungs. When you come back, I promise I'll give you a cool, autumn-like office."

"you……"

Fugaku was wheeled out of his office, still clutching the discarded document with the wrong stamp in his hand.

"Nishikawa Tetsu! You're absolutely insane! What kind of subordinate kicks their boss out to do renovations?!"

"That's called humanistic care, senior."

The door slammed shut in front of Fugaku, and from inside came an even louder drilling sound, along with Nishikawa Tetsu's muffled voice: "Master, make the hole bigger, otherwise the heat pipe won't fit."

Standing in the corridor, Fugaku could only watch with a dark expression as his subordinates cast surprised glances his way, and headed to the conference room with the documents in hand.

……

Scientific Research Institute, Director's Office.

"Sizzle—"

Nishikawa Tetsu was standing on the ladder tightening screws when Orochimaru's hoarse and magnetic voice came from behind him.

"The principle behind this is quite interesting, Che-kun."

Orochimaru held the structural blueprints for the air conditioner in his hand, his golden vertical pupils gleaming with a thirst for knowledge. He didn't stop the installation; instead, he seemed to be studying a new ninjutsu scroll.

"Using the liquefaction and vaporization of refrigerant to transport heat, although it is not as direct as Ice Release chakra, it has the advantage of not consuming the caster's mental energy."

"Yes, Dean."

Nishikawa Tetsu wiped his sweat and answered the call without turning his head.

"That's the beauty of industrialization. As long as there's electricity, it can keep working, unlike a ninja who gets tired."

"However, it's too inefficient."

Orochimaru put down the blueprints, walked to the air conditioner unit, and gently stroked the heat sink with his long fingers, his eyes becoming somewhat fanatical.

"The compressor's power conversion rate is only 80%, and its heat exchange efficiency is too slow. Che-kun, if I inscribed a miniature chakra boosting formula on the condenser coil and replaced the refrigerant with an extremely cold ice crystal solution that I extracted from the Land of Snow..."

Orochimaru licked his lips: "I'm confident I can increase the cooling effect of this machine by twenty times, instantly turning this room into an ultra-low temperature environment of minus fifty degrees Celsius."

Nishikawa Tetsu's hand trembled, and the screwdriver almost fell.

"Dean, stop! Please stop!"

Nishikawa Tetsu turned around and looked at Leng Jun, who wanted to drastically modify the home appliances, with a helpless expression.

"This is an air conditioner, meant to make people feel comfortable, not for conducting polar environment simulation experiments! Minus fifty degrees Celsius? Do you want to freeze me into an ice sculpture, or freeze your snake into an ice pop?"

Orochimaru withdrew his hand regretfully, clearly disappointed with this "lukewarm" machine.

"If you can't push the limits of temperature, you can't be considered to be exploring the truth."

"But it can keep things fresh, Dean."

Nishikawa Tetsu earnestly advised, "Think about it, wouldn't those precious biological samples, those easily perishable living cells, be preserved longer in this constant temperature environment? Wouldn't your experimental data be more stable?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment, his golden pupils contracting slightly.

He glanced at the intricate petri dishes on the table and nodded thoughtfully.

"Constant temperature...variable control...indeed, for experiments, environmental stability is crucial."

"That's right, and..."

Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to a small white snake in the corner. The snake seemed to sense the cool breeze blowing from the air conditioner vent and was comfortably coiled on the cabinet below, flicking its tongue.

"It seems your snake also likes this temperature."

Orochimaru glanced at the spineless snake, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He picked up the remote control and, as if it were some kind of sophisticated experimental instrument, pressed the switch.

"drop."

A cool breeze blew, ruffling his long black hair.

"Hmm... the wind speed is constant, and the noise level is within acceptable limits."

Orochimaru took out his notebook and actually started recording the air conditioner's operating data.

"Che-kun, I have a few ideas for improving the structure of this compressor. Let's have a meeting to discuss them later. Perhaps they can be applied to the fluid dynamics of casting Lightning Release chakra..."

Nishikawa Tetsu jumped down from the ladder, quickly gathered his tools, and fled towards the door as if escaping.

"Dean, since this is a civilian product that uses electricity, let's avoid using those high-end technologies for cost reasons. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

"Bang!"

The door was closed.

Orochimaru stood in the cool office, looking at the data in his hand, but he wasn't angry.

"For civilian use... relying solely on electricity, interesting."

He sat back down in his chair and picked up a test tube with a cheerful expression.

"In this environment, cell division should be more stable... It's a really good invention."

……

At dusk.

Nishikawa Tetsu stood on the Hokage Rock, looking down at the Konoha Village, which was lit up with lights.

The Hokage Building, the Police Department, and the Research Institute—the three core centers of power and technology in Konoha—have all been equipped with air conditioning.

"The lighthouse has been lit."

Nishikawa Tetsu took out a map of the Land of Fire and circled several bustling commercial towns with a red pen.

"Once the higher-ups in Konoha start enjoying this coolness, the trend of following suit will instantly sweep across the entire village."

"At that time..."

His gaze drifted towards the distant horizon.

"This cool breeze will blow from Konoha to the Daimyo's residence, and then to the entire Land of Fire."
