Orochimaru: I Want a Child!

Shinki was too lazy to waste words with the villain.

With a "whoosh," he slammed his hand directly onto Dotō's forehead!

Soon, he gained access to all of Dotō's memories and discovered the reason why he was able to successfully develop the Chakra Armor!

More than a decade ago, in order to enable the weak Land of Snow to have the strength to fight against the great powers, Dotō began to develop Chakra Armor. He failed many times along the way and even stopped progressing at one point!

Three years ago, the development of the Chakra Armor hit a bottleneck. With the help of a mysterious figure, Dotō completed the final step in perfecting the Chakra Armor... After that, Dotō lost contact with the mysterious figure until a few months ago, when, guided by the mysterious figure, he sent Ice Release Ninja to join the White Night Group...

Just like in Yuehong's memory, the mysterious figure in Dotō' memory is equally vague!

Seemingly unrelated things are all connected because of this mysterious person!

This was enough to make Shinki wary of this mysterious person who had never shown himself!

"Who exactly is he, and what is his true purpose?" Shinki wondered.

He started planning three years ago, when he was just beginning to make a name for himself...

Perhaps he didn't think about this at the time.

But having someone secretly doing bad things is still a bit unsettling!

After investigating the matter, a troubled Shinki returned to the Hokage's Office.

Inside the Office, Shikamaru was organizing documents.

So, Shinki told Shikamaru everything he had investigated over the past few days.

Upon hearing Shinki's guess, Shikamaru was stunned. "The Akatsuki was wiped out long ago, Orochimaru is under our control, and Danzo is already dead. Who is pulling the strings behind all this...?"

Shinki: "Let's investigate slowly. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, making us difficult to deal with. ┐(´-`)┌"

Shikamaru sighed upon hearing this, "That's all we can do for now, just deal with whatever comes our way... We've only had peace for half a year, and I'm afraid it'll be turbulent again soon =_="

While they were talking, Shikamaru had already tidied up the documents scattered across the table and was preparing to take them out.

"Thank you so much, it's good that you're here in the village," Shinki said involuntarily.

Shikamaru smiled, "No need to thank me for something so small. We're all doing this for the village. (^ワ^)"

"By the way, Yamato from the Anbu came by while you were gone. Something might have happened to Orochimaru. Why don't you go check it out?"

Shinki nodded. "Okay, I understand."

After Shikamaru left, Shinki stuffed a few Military Rations Pills into his mouth and then used the Flying Thunder God to teleport to Orochimaru's Research Institute. 눈_눈

Upon seeing Shinki arrive, Yamato immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Lord Sixth."

Shinki looked exhausted. "Yamato- sensei, you can just call me by my name..."

Yamato didn't respond, but instead reported on the results of his surveillance of Orochimaru: "Orochimaru has recently started a new research project."

Shinki asked seriously, "Tell me in detail."

Yamato: "Orochimaru has begun nurturing babies..."

Shinki: (꒪⌓꒪)

"Should I have the child with someone else or...?"

The words had barely left his mouth when Shinki realized he'd made a mistake. Who would want to have a child with someone like Orochimaru...?

"A cloned baby?" Shinki then asked.

Yamato shook his head. "I can't really explain it. I don't know what word to use to describe it... pieced together or manufactured?"

The more Shinki listened, the more confused he became, so he simply stopped listening and went into Orochimaru's Research Institute...

Inside the research institute, Orochimaru was still dressed in his ever-present attire. He showed little surprise or panic upon seeing Shinki, instead greeting him familiarly, "You've arrived."

It was as peaceful as if the Shinki were his next-door neighbor...

Shinki: "I heard you've started nurturing babies?"

"You should know that now that you're trapped in Konoha, not every project is available for you to research."

Orochimaru nodded. "Of course I know that kind of thing. It's about respecting life. ┐(´-`)┌"

Shinki: "So what are you doing now?"

Orochimaru reveals his true intentions. "By combining multiple superior genes, I will create a perfect child. (￣▽￣)"

Shinki was speechless. "Is this what you call respecting life? How does what you did have anything to do with respecting life?"

Orochimaru didn't think he had done anything wrong, "What I did was perfectly fine. I didn't harm anyone. (╯ε╰)"

Shinki:-_-||

"The child you created this way violates the laws of nature, and such a child is highly likely to have genetic defects. Even if he survives to adulthood... how will he integrate into today's society? Are you his father or his mother? =_="

Orochimaru, too lazy to think about or care about these questions, said, "Shinki, you should know that what I seek is nothing more than the truth of this world, and the children I raise are my research and yearning for 'life'..."

Shinki: "I will not allow this kind of irresponsible behavior."

Hearing the explicit prohibition from the Shinki, Orochimaru had nothing to say and spread his hands, "Fine... if this makes you uphold justice, then I'll do it. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍"

Shinki, ignoring Orochimaru's sarcastic remarks, slowly approached Orochimaru and said seriously, "You'd better behave yourself. I value your research abilities, but I will never raise a tiger to threaten my own future."

Orochimaru looked up and met Shinki's gaze.

The next second, his expression froze; he had fallen into the Shinki's Genjutsu!

Within the Genjutsu, Shinki repeatedly explained the laws of life and the laws of Konoha to Orochimaru...

After finishing these tasks, Shinki left Orochimaru's research institute and instructed Yamato, "Orochimaru should be able to stay quiet for a few days. Once he wakes up, keep a close eye on him. Research on New Human Life is strictly prohibited!"

Yamato nodded. "I guarantee I'll complete the mission, Lord Sixth! <(`^´)>"

Shinki stopped correcting Yamato and disappeared.

Nighttime at Shinki's home.

Shinki slumped onto the sofa, while Sasuke rubbed his head beside him.

Shinki: "A little higher... yes, yes, that's it... a little harder... didn't you eat...?"

Sasuke immediately gave up. "I'm not kneading anymore. (;′⌒`)"

Shinki: "..."

"I'll tell Sakura... no, Genjutsu 'll announce it to the whole world! I'll show everyone how you were subjected to Kakashi-sensei's Thousand Years of Death back then!"

Sasuke immediately returned to his original position, gently pressing his fingers on Shinki's temples. "Is this pressure appropriate? (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎"

Shinki pouted. "It'll do. ╮(_")╭"

Sasuke smiled ingratiatingly, "That happened so long ago, just forget about it if you can."

Shinki picked at his ear. "You know I'm busy with work Tenten, and my memory is sometimes good and sometimes bad. If only you had someone to help me with my official duties. (o´Д`o)ノ"

Sasuke: "Naruto and Shikamaru can help you with something like this."

Shinki: "Shikamaru has a job, Naruto is on his honeymoon, and you're the only one who's idle in the village Tenten."

"Cover my shift for a few days. Handling official business is very simple, and Shikamaru will be there to assist you. You're smart enough too. (•̀⌄•́)"

Sasuke: "Shinki, don't go too far..."

Shinki: "After filling in for someone, that incident was completely erased from my mind."

Sasuke: "You're going to work at 6:30 tomorrow morning, right?"
