Lumen finally spoke.
"It doesn't merely temper the body and improve one's talent."
"The potion can also purify and strengthen one's bloodline, as well as enhance one's Kekkei Genkai."
The test tube in Orochimaru's hand trembled slightly.

"There are thirteen bottles in total."
"I originally planned to distribute them among the thirteen Squad captains of the Uchiha Shrine."

"That's because the Uchiha and Senju are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths."
Lumen's voice was
