After Ren and Kabuto arrived at the research building, Kabuto went straight to arrange the tests, while Ren went into Kabuto's laboratory.
As an all-around researcher with exceptional abilities, Kabuto's laboratory is quite luxurious. The various instruments and equipment inside are even more advanced than those in Orochimaru's laboratory that Ren visited.
It's not just a matter of money; many of the instruments and equipment are developed and customized by the research institution itself.
Orochimaru is indeed very capable, but he is, after all, just one person. Compared to this well-organized team, he falls far short in terms of detail and comprehensiveness.
When Ren entered, he saw Izumi studying on a table in front of a bookshelf.
Quan has a quiet personality, but she really doesn't like studying, or rather, she doesn't want to study boring math and science.
Ren's footsteps made Izumi turn around immediately.
Upon seeing that it was Ren, Izumi's face immediately fell.
"Chief, when can I take on a mission and leave the village? You promised me that!"
After being bombarded with a wealth of knowledge, Quan deeply realized his own ignorance.
The rather incongruous aura that Izanami had left on her after experiencing several dreamlike lives has disappeared.
She looks a bit like a high school girl from her past life.
"Izumi, although you have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, your Dōjutsu are too weak. Let's talk about it again when you can truly stand on your own like Itachi."
Ren refused Izumi's unreasonable request without hesitation.
At first, it was uncertain whether Izanami would work as he had guessed, but now it has been confirmed.
It's absolutely impossible for Quan to go out and have fun again; it's utterly impossible!
Contributing to Konoha's research and development is Izumi's destiny.
Having realized the embarrassment of his own weak Dōjutsu, Izumi understood his ignorance after mastering the basics of Ren's cramming-style instruction.
"Chieftain, my Dōjutsu is clearly very powerful!"
"No, it's very weak and offers almost no help in combat."
Ren relentlessly shattered Izumi's confidence.
Faced with the stubborn Ren, Izumi, who already had a basic understanding of her own Dōjutsu, gave up trying to persuade Ren and started thinking of other ways.
Seeing Izumi's expression, Ren knew that it was unrealistic to expect Izumi to stay wholeheartedly in Konoha.
The Mangekyō Sharingan that Itachi awakened completely demonstrates Itachi's position in Izumi's heart.
Although Izumi's Dōjutsu is incredibly powerful and its effects are quite important, she's not really suited for research.
The main purpose of having Quan learn was to enable him to understand the researchers' requirements and to better fulfill his role in researching cheat codes.
They didn't have much interaction, nor did they establish a deep bond. Izumi's connection with Ren was solely because he was a member of the Uchiha Clan. In Ren's eyes, Izumi was just a useful tool.
As long as a tool is useful, that's enough; their own thoughts are unimportant.
Ren, who immediately saw through Izumi's little scheme, beamed with a bright smile and spoke.
"Izumi, with your talent, Credit long before you master the correct use of your own Dōjutsu."
Izumi, whose thoughts had been interrupted by Ren's words, looked at Ren again, as if expecting something.
"And once you've mastered Izanami, the lab guards certainly won't let you stay here obediently."
Ren voiced what Izumi was thinking. Izumi, with her love-struck mind, Uchiha Clan Mangekyo Sharingan, did indeed have some restless thoughts.
Ignoring the slight shock in Izumi's eyes, Ren continued.
"However, since Itachi was carrying out this mission as missing-nin, it's safe to assume it was a spy mission."
After briefly explaining Itachi's situation.
"So, Izumi, if one day you disappear without a trace, Credit long before you hear the news of Itachi's death!"
After Ren finished speaking, Izumi's pupils contracted sharply, his face contorted with madness, and then his Mangekyō Sharingan activated, spinning rapidly.
Despite Izumi's impending loss of control, Ren remained completely calm, his smile growing even brighter.
"Think carefully about the consequences before you act, Jonin!"
If Itachi could awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, then for Itachi's sake, even if Izumi was unwilling, she could suppress the anger in her heart.
"I understand, Lord Hokage!"
Izumi suppressed her emotions, uttering words that did not reflect her true feelings, but the look in her eyes Ren she gazed at Ren was one of murderous intent.
As a member of the Uchiha Clan and having awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, theoretically, his gaze could indeed kill, but only in theory.
"My lord, preparations for the test are complete."
Hearing the call, Ren smiled and turned to Kabuto.
"Well done, Dou, let's go!"
