If this is the case even though they have no blood relation, then it goes without saying that he and Shisui... both have Uchiha clan blood flowing through their veins.

"Very good, let's turn this result into reality right away. What do you need me to prepare?" Lin Yu asked.

“It’s very simple, one drop of blood is enough!” Orochimaru said.

"Is it that simple?" Lin Yu looked at Orochimaru in surprise.

"It's that simple! The forbidden technique I developed can transform the target's genes into the same structure as this blood. However, it needs to be done when the target has no resistance at all, which is still quite difficult..." Orochimaru laughed.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get the blood drawn right away... Oh, and get another sample too," Lin Yu said.

"Hmm? It's alright, but why is that?" Orochimaru asked.

"Since the conditions are so simple, let's just modify my second candidate as well: Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi. Both of them are qualified..."

"Oh dear, Yu-jun really knows how to give me difficult problems..."

After the blood collection was completed, Orochimaru, carrying two samples of Lin Yu's blood, prepared to set off.

"Are you sure you don't want my Kamui to send you to Konoha? That would be faster," Lin Yu said.

"No need, I prefer to pursue the truth through my own footsteps..." Orochimaru's hoarse voice was full of intellectual charm.

Lin Yu chose to respect his decision: "Alright, I'll be there to help you if anything happens."

"Then I'm off, Yu-kun." Orochimaru turned and, using his standard 'ninja running style,' sped off into the rain...

Chapter 79 Orochimaru, Forbidden Technique Activated!

Two nights later, in the jungle outside Konoha.

Orochimaru peeled off the face of a Konoha ninja he had killed and covered it with his own face, then began to form hand seals.

Ninja Technique·The Art of Erasing Faces!

Whoosh! His appearance completely transformed into that of the Konoha ninja he had killed.

Konoha has a curfew; once midnight arrives, no ninja can enter or leave unless they have a mission to complete.

Orochimaru quickened his pace and successfully infiltrated Konoha Village before midnight when the gates closed.

He was certainly moved by the return to familiar places, but he did not forget the true purpose of his visit.

He conducted a thorough reconnaissance and discovered that the area outside the Uchiha clan's residential area was teeming with patrolling secret agents.

It turns out that ever since Kakashi witnessed Lin Yu's presence, the Uchiha clan's residential area has been patrolled more closely. From day to night, Konoha's Anbu members take turns guarding the area, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach.

"Hmph, the air is thick with tension. How long can this clan's fortunes last...? What's next?" Orochimaru stood atop a building high in Konoha, gazing at the bustling crowd below, his hands forming hand seals.

Group Illusion: Bewitching and Deceptive!

Whoosh! A ripple emanated from Orochimaru's brow and spread throughout the entire street.

This illusion technique can interfere with a person's mind, causing them to become suspicious and hostile towards those around them. Due to its extremely wide range, it is ineffective against Chunin and above, but it is remarkably effective against ordinary people!

"You bastard, you've been staring at me ever since!"

"You're trying to harm me! I'll kill you!!"

People walking on the street suddenly stopped and then started fighting each other wildly.

"Hurry up, it's an emergency!"

Ten minutes later, the entire Konoha Guard was dispatched after receiving a report of a large-scale brawl!

The Anbu responsible for monitoring the Uchiha clan also went to monitor and enforce the law due to this sudden situation, leaving only a small number to patrol outside the Uchiha residential area.

After all, the Uchiha clan is full of experts. Only by luring away the police force's experts can Orochimaru have a chance to succeed!

Taking advantage of the fact that the guards and most of the ANBU were sidelined, Orochimaru jumped down from the high place and headed towards the Uchiha residential area.

However, there were still a few secret agents patrolling. One of them spotted a suspicious man walking towards them and asked, "Who goes there!"

"I'm heartbroken, so I came out for some fresh air," the suspicious man said dejectedly.

The secret agents carefully examined the person in front of them and saw that he looked dejected, indeed like someone who had just broken up with his girlfriend.

"Go somewhere else, this is not a place for you!" the members of the Dark Guard said, dispersing them.

“Wagarimashida! (I understand),” the suspicious man said.

"Huh?" Just as the two were passing each other, the member of the ANBU suddenly stopped and questioned, "You smell of leaves and dirt on you, and... the smell of blood! Where have you been, and what have you done!"

The suspicious man stopped, slowly turned around, opened his mouth, and let his long tongue hang down. A terrifying murderous aura burst forth from the snake's vertical pupils!

"!" The Dark Division member's pupils constricted sharply, and he was about to draw his sword.

Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!

Whoosh! Orochimaru's snake-like hand, hidden beneath his sleeve, wrapped around the face of the ANBU member until he suffocated and collapsed.

"Hmph, being sharp isn't necessarily a good thing..." Orochimaru simply removed his human skin mask, dispelled his disguise, and swaggered into the Uchiha clan's residential area.

Under the moonlight, he stood atop a tall telephone pole, his long hair fluttering in the wind.

When he saw the young man who had just finished his training and was walking alone at the end of the street, he raised the corner of his mouth and disappeared from the spot.

Whoosh, the wind swirled a leaf, and Uchiha Shisui stopped in his tracks. He sensed the strange change in the air, immediately gripped the small knife behind him, activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, and said warily, "Come out, I know you're nearby!"

"At such a young age, you possess the insight that only elite Jonin have, and those eyes full of possibilities. I understand why Yu-kun chose you, Shisui-kun~" A hoarse voice drifted from behind.

Whoosh! As Shisui turned, he abruptly retreated, his sword already in his hand. Upon seeing the person before him, Shisui's pupils constricted: This aura and those vertical pupils... could it be...?

"Are you the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru?" Shisui asked seriously.

Orochimaru's expression grew even more appreciative, and he immediately said, "Since you understand, then stop your futile resistance..."

"I'm sorry, I can't do as you wish!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Shisui's figure suddenly split into dozens, appearing on the streets, walls, and eaves, completely surrounding Orochimaru.

"It's both an illusion and a physical entity. There's no better 'body sleight of hand' than this. Wow, that's amazing!" Orochimaru exclaimed in amazement.

Thirty-two Instantaneous Slashes!!

*Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!* Thirty-two illusory figures launched a surprise attack simultaneously, and thirty-two swords pierced Orochimaru's body almost at the same time!

"Ugh..." Orochimaru was instantly covered in blood, but he shrugged, opened his mouth wide, and spat out a sticky, wet but perfectly fine version of himself.

"What!?" Shisui's thirty-two phantoms merged into one, showing that he was too young to use such a powerful Body Flicker Technique continuously!

Whoosh! Orochimaru's neck suddenly stretched out strangely and wrapped around Shisui!

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Shisui quickly formed hand seals, opened his mouth and spat out a scorching fireball, then used the recoil of the flames to retreat.

However, Orochimaru's head, despite the fireball, continued to charge towards Shisui!

With a flash of his Sharingan, Shisui threw his sword like lightning when Orochimaru was two meters away, piercing Orochimaru's throat with a crack!

At the same time, stop the water formation.

Crack! Lightning Release chakra erupted from the sword, paralyzing Orochimaru's body, causing his head and neck to slump to the ground!

Swoosh! Suddenly, a small white snake flew out of the open mouth and bit at Zhishui.

Still water, perceptive as ever: "This distance is manageable..."

Caw! Caw! Two jet-black crows appeared from mid-air and bit the small snake a meter away.

In the distance, Orochimaru formed hand seals.

Kusanagi Sword: Sky Blade!

Click!

The snake opened its mouth, and the Kusanagi sword shot out.

"Oh no!!" This was completely unexpected. By the time Shisui realized something was wrong, it was too late. His shoulder was pierced by the Kusanagi sword, pinning him to the wall...

The crows vanished, the little snake landed, and with a snap, Orochimaru pulled his neck back, removed the sword from his throat, and walked up to Shisui.

“Shisui-kun, if Yu-jun hadn’t already taken a liking to you, I would have loved to make you mine. But alas, that man was far more prescient than I was…”

Orochimaru took out a syringe filled with Lin Yu's blood, inserted it into the Zhishui blood vessel, and injected the blood!

*Thud!* Orochimaru threw away the syringe, his hands forming a series of hand seals, his long hair fluttering without wind, and his hoarse voice rang out: "Thank me, Shisui. With this drop of blood, you will also obtain a portion of Lord Hashirama's power!"

—Forbidden Technique: Blood Transfer!

Chapter 80 Uchiha, Itachi!

Thump! Shisui's eyes widened, his heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and then a burning heat swept through his entire body!

"Ah!!" He couldn't help but scream in agony.

Orochimaru stepped forward and pulled the Kusanagi sword from Shisui's shoulder.

Thump! Shisui's knees slammed to the ground, drenched in sweat. "What...did you do to me?!"

Orochimaru tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and placed the Kusanagi sword into the protruding snake's mouth. The snake retracted, Orochimaru closed his mouth, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and turned to leave.

"Stop, stop!" Shisui struggled to crawl forward, but ultimately fell into a coma due to his condition.

Sizzle, sizzle... Not long after Shisui fell into a coma, the wound on his shoulder inflicted by the Kusanagi sword healed amidst the rising steam.

"Time is running out, I need to find the next one quickly. It should be easier than the first one, right?" Orochimaru muttered to himself, taking it for granted.

A house on the south side of the Uchiha residential area.

Uchiha Mikoto leaned back in her recliner, stroking her pregnant belly, her gaze weary but gentle as she said, "Itachi, I'm a little tired. I want to sleep for a while. You should get some rest too."

On the tatami mat beside him, five-year-old Itachi sat upright and said sensibly, "Okay, I'll go to sleep in a bit."

Mikoto Uchiha soon began to breathe evenly.

Itachi got up, found a blanket, covered his mother with it, and smiled as he looked at Mikoto's belly, saying, "Be good, Sasuke..."

But instead of going to sleep, Itachi took a kunai, sat down, and opened his still-childish two-tomoe Sharingan, standing guard beside his mother like a little guardian deity.

Not long ago, a group of mysterious people attacked Mikoto, who was out for a walk. They were after the child in Mikoto's womb. Itachi bravely protected his mother and held off his clansmen until they arrived before collapsing from exhaustion. During that battle, Itachi's single-tomoe Sharingan grew into a double-tomoe Sharingan.

When he woke up, he learned that three of his clansmen had died, and he was heartbroken. Fortunately, his mother was safe and sound. From then on, he stayed close to his mother and was on high alert at the slightest sign of trouble.
