Lacking chakra talent, he researched it himself; lacking power, he acquired it through technology. With his cheat-like abilities, Hiruko quickly unleashed his power and reached the pinnacle of this world.
However, he needs too many things to continue becoming stronger.

Poisoning Techniques
Hiruko's current strength has already reached the threshold of the quasi-Kage level, and he can unleash Kage-level power in a short period of time. Singed's Q skill can combine the various potent poisons he has researched and unleash them.
It includes many well-known toxins from the previous life, such as cyanide, dioxin, sarin gas, and VX neurotoxin, mixed with various toxins unique to the ninja world, making it almost an incurable poison.
Hiruko used this trick to kill countless people, earning him the title of "King of Ten Thousand Poisons." To protect the environment, Hiruko had to remove the toxins after each use, otherwise it would create a deadly wasteland.
Reborn into this world, Hiruko has no desire for the Hokage position; all he seeks is immortality and worldly pleasures.
To reassure those old foxes, Hiruko deliberately revealed his preference for beautiful women.
In this way, they would be willing to take out their wallets to support his experimental research.
As for the Singed template from League of Legends, Hiruko admitted that he couldn't be as crazy as Singed in League of Legends.
Therefore, although his progress was steady, it was relatively slow. After all, he was not a real madman and still had his own bottom line.
However, he also discovered something.
By continuously improving one's own abilities or personally developing technological achievements, one can achieve a higher degree of integration for their Singed template.
Hiruko casually handed a bottle of Life No. 1 to Danzo and said softly, "The cost has been reduced to the limit. Even if we use toxicity to suppress the side effects, it is still difficult to directly transform ordinary people into ninjas."
However, it can instantly grant a genin the strength of a chunin, but the price is a ten-year reduction in lifespan.
A greedy glint flashed in Danzo's eyes, and he hurriedly asked, "How much does it cost?"
"It costs about 10,000 taels per bottle. If we produce on a large scale, the cost should be reduced to around 5,000 to 6,000 taels," Beiluhu replied truthfully.
"Good! Well done! As expected of you!" Danzo praised him highly, while at the same time he couldn't help but grit his teeth and lift Orochimaru up.
"That bastard kept lying to me about funding, and the results he produced were meager, none of them can compare to yours!"
In Danzo's view, Hiruko was honest and reliable, willing to reveal his secrets, and had no interest in the position of Hokage.
As an old man who had served Danzo closely, Hiruko naturally earned his trust.
Of course, if Hiruko didn't have the strength, he would naturally need to wear the leash of the Tongue of Calamity, but if he had the strength, he wouldn't need to.
Danzo held the crystal-clear bottle of Life Enhancement Potion No. 1 in his hand, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
However, just as this joy was about to overflow...
call out!
A black figure suddenly appeared in front of the two like a ghost.
The dark figure blocked Hiruko and Danzo's path, saying solemnly, "Lord Hiruko, Lord Danzo, the Hokage has ordered you to go see him immediately."
The members of the Anbu, kneeling on the ground, showed extreme respect to Hiruko.
He knew that it was this man's various weapons and prosthetics that enabled soldiers who had lost limbs in the war to stand up again and regain the ability to support their families.
This also made it easier for Konoha to achieve victory in the Third Shinobi World War.
This lord, though he never personally stepped onto the battlefield, just like them, silently supported the peace of Konoha in the shadows, and is a hero worthy of everyone's respect.
Upon seeing this, Danzo stormed out in a rage, extremely dissatisfied with the Third Hokage's act of intercepting him.
I guess they'll go over there and play a game of "you regret it, I'll play my shadow."
Hiruko glanced at the ANBU members on the ground, frowned slightly, and then slowly said, "I understand."
He wondered to himself what the three generations of old men wanted from him at this moment.
Compared to Danzo, who was foolish, rich, and easily deceived, he found Hiruzen Sarutobi, a cunning old fox who always liked to use empty promises to get him to work for free, much more troublesome.
As a scientist dedicated to scientific research, Hiruko naturally hoped that his funds would continue to flow in to support his various experiments.
However, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was a notoriously stingy guy who always hijacked the funds Danzo gave to Hiruko and appropriated the results for himself.
Lord Danzo, although short-sighted, extreme, stubborn, and whimsical, was also extremely careless in his work and often betrayed his benefactors.
If Hiruko hadn't possessed absolute power, he probably would have already used the Tongue Trap to kill him, but Lord Danzo was truly willing to spend the money.
The Shimura family was really unlucky; they didn't benefit much from following him, and all of their ninjas and funds were sacrificed by Root.
Fortunately, Danzo was able to meet most of Hiruko's demands.
Hiruko was always able to swindle enough funds, test subjects, and the necessary secret techniques and information from him.
In fact, most of the sealing techniques and spell seal knowledge that Hiruko now possesses were provided to him by Danzo as payment.
Sarutobi, on the other hand, was completely different.
He appears kind and approachable, treats people with gentleness and politeness, has a long-term vision, and is a decent person who would never betray someone after using them.
However, he had a problem that gave Hiruko a lot of trouble—he liked to steal.
This reminded Hiruko of his experience in a laboratory in his previous life.
Back then, his boss would always talk to him about ideals and ambitions, but never about salary.
As a result, he only earned five or six thousand yuan a month, and eventually died from exhaustion in the lab.
Sarutobi was the same way, often brainwashing Hiruko, advocating the Will of Fire, and urging him to sacrifice himself for the glory of Konoha.
When it came to actual compensation, he wouldn't give a single penny, only offering verbal praise.
The village's planning and funding allocations are always meticulously calculated and very restrictive.
For those Konoha ninjas who were born and raised in the Will of Fire, this might be acceptable.
But Hiruko was someone who died from screwing in screws in the lab in his previous life, so how could he easily accept this kind of thing?
After the two left, a dark secret room was located a thousand meters below the secret base.
A huge glass jar stood in the center of the room, filled with a murky green liquid, with bubbles rising slowly and making a soft "gurgling" sound.
A red-haired woman struggled to open her eyes, glanced at the little boy in the jar before her, and fell back into the illusion, the sorrow in her eyes lingering for a long time.
