At the Uchiha Shrine, a man sat quietly on a stone chair in the shrine's basement, enveloped in darkness.
If it weren't for the faint, even breathing sounds in the room, one would really think that the person sitting on the stone chair was a statue.
Just as he was quietly waiting for time to pass, a creaking sound came from the entrance.
"Hmph... This kind of passive waiting for death is not like you!"
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the doorway, and the person on the stone chair slowly opened their eyes, their scarlet Sharingan meeting the Byakugan of the newcomer.
The voice was familiar, but the appearance and demeanor were completely different.
Seeing the surprise and doubt in his eyes, the newcomer slowly pulled off the Human Skin Mask on his face.
"It's been a long time, Itachi-kun!"
Itachi frowned slightly after seeing half of his face beneath the Human Skin Mask.
"How... how did you get here?"
Even after learning the identity of the visitor, Itachi remained seated on the stone chair with Jiro leaning back, as steady as a mountain. One has to admit that this composure is quite rare.
Indeed, they were all about to die, so what did they care about? Perhaps only Sasuke could make their heart race.
However, besides Sasuke, the people Orochimaru brought could also make his heart race.
"It's not that I wanted to come, it's that someone else wanted to come!"
As he spoke, he stepped aside, making room for the person behind him.
A beautiful figure caught Itachi's eye. She had long, beautiful black hair and wore a demon mask, but her tall figure alone revealed her to be a beauty.
Before he could ask a question, the woman also removed her mask, revealing a pair of scarlet Sharingan, each with Three Tomoe, gazing at him from afar.
For a moment they looked at each other speechlessly, only tears streaming down their faces!
Their gazes were complex, containing a mixture of bewilderment, resentment, regret, and a deeply hidden love.
The empty basement became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Orochimaru could clearly feel that both of their breathing had become heavier. If it weren't for Orochimaru being an outsider, would they have embraced like a long-awaited reunion...?
The familiar scent of the girl wafted through the air, like a deadly poison, making Itachi feel suffocated.
"Are you... doing well...?"
It's unclear how much time passed before Itachi finally managed to squeeze out a few words, his voice trembling slightly.
Those few words seemed to have exhausted his mind; after speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, clearly not daring to face the person in front of him.
Upon hearing these slightly bitter words, the woman bit her lip tightly, stubbornly refusing to let herself cry out.
This person is none other than Itachi's childhood friend, Izumi Uchiha!
This kind-hearted and innocent girl, it's estimated that only someone like her could get even slightly close to Itachi's heart, which had already fallen into the abyss.
She is the only remaining female member of the Uchiha, and her talent ranks among the top of all Uchiha members.
She had already awakened the Three Tomoe before the Uchiha Clan Massacre, but whether she awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan after personally experiencing the night of the massacre is unknown.
Anyway, she doesn't seem to train much in the Northern Lands, let alone show off her Sharingan.
"I want an answer! Even if it's false... I want you to tell me yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Itachi opened his eyes again. His gaze had returned to normal, but it was less cold and more tender.
After taking another deep breath, Itachi slowly opened his mouth, his tone becoming steady.
There are no answers here, what you see is the answer!
While the two were talking, Orochimaru had already left, leaving them alone.
He felt he shouldn't spoil the mood, believing they must have a lot to say and a lot to ask.
He had already told Izumi many things, but only what the person involved said was truly convincing.
Naruto didn't believe that the Third Hokage had pinned the blame for the Nine-Tails' Attack on him, Kakashi didn't believe that Obito was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails' Attack.
No one would believe that Orochimaru eliminated the Third Hokage, or that Danzo did it for the good of Konoha. Even fewer people would believe that the Akatsuki's hard work was ultimately for the peace of the Ninja World!
The Pacific Ocean doesn't believe in tears, and a real man never backs down! If you dare to do something, you should dare to take responsibility for it, especially when it comes to your former White Moonlight. It would be best to have a heart-to-heart talk before you die.
However, Orochimaru did not intend to let Itachi off so easily, or rather, he did not intend to let any of the Uchiha survivors go.
A moment later, Quan's angry roar, accompanied by sobs, echoed in the room, followed by a series of dull thuds.
Orochimaru was right; without outside interference, the two did indeed relax considerably.
Izumi quickly tackled Itachi to the ground, beating him while tears streamed down her face.
Faced with this situation, Itachi was completely at a loss. The outcome would have been the same if any other surviving Uchiha had been in his place, let alone this woman.
Those who feel indebted will always be inferior to others. Six Paths Obito felt indebted to Rin, Madara felt indebted to Izuna Uchiha, and Itachi was no exception.
However, besides Sasuke, there is now another one.
Didi the size of beans dripped onto Itachi's face, and he felt an intense pain. Perhaps only physical pain could make him feel better.
However, as Quan cried, she realized something was wrong. She found that her body suddenly became hot, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
The raptor beneath him also noticed something amiss, but it was too late.
He felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
Just before his eyelids completely closed, he had already cursed Orochimaru eight hundred times in his mind, and he knew without a doubt that it was Orochimaru who was behind it.
Quan was also feeling unwell; her body was growing increasingly hot, and her consciousness was fading, eventually succumbing to her most primal instincts...
"Won't the medicine be an overdose?"
Orochimaru waited outside the door for a full hour and a half before the commotion in the basement finally subsided.
When he pushed the door open again, a steamy scene came into view, but unfortunately, he was a man of principle and did not witness the two's passionate encounter.
Orochimaru, who only had scientific pursuits in mind, didn't care about these things. He collected the still highly active Uchiha descendants in test tubes and then helped Orochimaru two of them tidy up their clothes.
Izumi, who still had some consciousness left, fell into a deep sleep when Orochimaru pinched her.
Based on the current situation, Itachi, who has completely fallen into a coma, is likely the victim.
"How could a mouse escape a snake's prey? It's a good thing you've been helped; no need to thank me!"
Orochimaru had already drugged Izumi Uchiha when she first entered the room, and Itachi, who was very alert, was drugged when he lost his composure.
The scent of the young girl accompanying Izumi Uchiha contained Orochimaru's drug, which was colorless and odorless, completely masked by the former.
With the addition of another drug applied to Izumi's hair, Itachi would have a hard time resisting.
That was specifically targeting him. If the two hadn't been in close contact, nothing would have happened, but things don't always go as planned.
Looking back now, those "girlish fragrances" and "body scents" were more terrifying than poison; they were aphrodisiacs that could kill people!
Strong resistance to Genjutsu magic doesn't necessarily mean strong resistance to poison. It might be more relevant to a physical master, but Orochimaru's concoctions can even Jinchuriki, let alone Itachi, who was in a sub-healthy state.
Orochimaru did this improper thing on a whim, but since he's already done it, there's no need to regret it, since he wasn't involved anyway.
"Sasuke, she'll be your sister-in-law from now on, and who knows, she might even give you a nephew or niece soon!"
Collect live specimens. Even if you don't succeed in one shot, Orochimaru can still use artificial insemination. Don't forget that Uncle Snake has mastered the core technology.
As long as Quan is still in the Northern Lands, she can't escape his grasp! Even if she's not, it doesn't matter, he can just place an anchor point on her.
Besides, who says the Uchiha bloodline can't flow out? As long as the seed is from the Uchiha, it's fine.
With technology so advanced now, and Orochimaru being the head of a village, he could easily have as many Uchiha as he wanted.
Even wild Uchiha still Uchiha, and given time, they might just become a large clan!
Orochimaru then extracted two more vials of Itachi's blood for research purposes, and only after completing these steps was he satisfied.
After leaving a letter behind, Orochimaru picked up Izumi Uchiha and walked out of the basement.
They came quietly and Earth Flow quietly, without taking away a single cloud, only taking away some descendants of the Uchiha, and making outstanding contributions to the revitalization of the Uchiha!
