Chapter 202: Mass Production of Uchiha Ghouls, Orochimaru Makes a Lot of Money
In the secret laboratory buried deep underground, the dim lights flickered and swayed, as if they could go out at any time, adding a bit of eeriness to this space filled with a weird atmosphere.

Various strange experimental instruments were placed around, and the liquid in the glass container emitting a faint green light was shaking gently, making a slight sound.

Orochimaru was wearing a white lab coat, and the thirty-six-d bulge was stained with blood.

At this moment, Aunt Snake was concentrating on dissecting a corpse, her eyes revealing an almost crazy obsession, as if the whole world was left with only her and the cold corpse in front of her.

Just then, the door of the laboratory was gently pushed open, and a thin researcher walked in cautiously.

He held a small black notebook in his hand, which was densely filled with various data and experimental reports. His eyes were full of awe and nervousness. He did not dare to look directly into Orochimaru's eyes. He just lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Lord Orochimaru, do you want to seal those Uchiha people in the jar?"

Orochimaru paused slightly, and the scalpel in his hand stopped in mid-air.

It slowly raised its head, and a barely perceptible expression flashed in its eyes. The death of Sarutobi Hiruzen caused a wave of waves in its heart. To it, it was actually a kind of redemption and liberation.

Over the years, the master-disciple entanglement between it and Sarutobi Hiruzen, as well as all the constraints it suffered in Konoha, disappeared with the departure of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Thinking back to Uchiha Yu's words, those revelations about the dark side of Konoha, and the indignation over what had happened to the Uchiha clan, made Orochimaru have different ideas in his mind.

It was silent for a moment, then slowly shook its head and said in a low and calm voice: "Find a place in the village and build a house for them."

When the researchers heard this, they were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

In his understanding, Orochimaru has always been only interested in experiments and power, and he is even more ruthless towards the experimental subjects. It is really hard to understand why he suddenly made such a decision.

But he didn't dare to ask more, he just lowered his head and answered respectfully: "Yes!"

In a remote corner of Otogakure, the gloomy sky seemed like a heavy lead plate, making it hard for people to breathe.

A group of Uchiha people were busy carrying construction materials, their faces were full of grief and fatigue, and every step they took was heavy and difficult.

Who would have thought that the Uchiha clan, which once enjoyed great glory in Konoha, would now be seeking a chance to survive under the protection of Orochimaru.

When they thought of the village's massacre of them, endless anger and sadness surged in their hearts.

Those unbearable past events were like sharp blades, cutting through their hearts.

Behind the crowd, a beautiful young woman stood quietly. She was Uchiha Izumi, who was in a romantic relationship with Itachi.

Her eyes were empty as she stared blankly into the distance, as if her soul was no longer there. The simple clothes she wore fluttered slightly in the wind, highlighting her thinness and helplessness.

The attack that night was like an unhealable scar, deeply engraved in her heart.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the bloody scene would appear in her mind like a ghost, causing her to toss and turn and unable to fall asleep.

She just couldn't understand why Uchiha Itachi, her lover who had once sworn to love her forever, would kill his own people and herself.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Earth Grudge Monster on the street, Itachi's attention would have been drawn away, and Uchiha Izumi, who had been hit by the Moon Reading, would have died in agony.
Itachi, you have no heart!

In fact, Izumi also feels good about himself. Itachi can even kill his parents, so his lover is nothing.

"Uchiha Izumi, don't dwell in pain. Life must go on." An old and gentle voice broke Izumi's meditation.

Quan nodded slightly and replied softly, "Yes." Her voice was weak and hoarse, as if she had used up all her strength.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, then dragged her heavy steps to the place where the building materials were piled, reached out her hand, and grabbed a brick. Although the pain in her heart was surging like a raging tide, she knew that in order to survive, for the only remaining hope of the Uchiha clan, she had to be strong.
In the slightly remote Uchiha settlement of Sound Village, a few rays of sunlight struggled to penetrate the thick clouds and fell on this weathered land.

However, in the past few days, a depressing and dangerous atmosphere has shrouded this place like a haze.

Among the tribe, six members unfortunately suffered from anorexia.

As time went by, their condition became worse. They had pale faces, sunken eye sockets, and were so thin that they looked like they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

What is even more worrying is that the bloodthirsty desire hidden in their blood is like an awakened beast, roaring wildly in their consciousness and gradually eroding their remaining sanity.

On this day, the situation finally reached a critical point.

The bodies of the six tribesmen began to tremble uncontrollably, their eyes turned a strange blood red, sharp fangs protruded from the corners of their mouths, and they let out bursts of low growls, and they could fall into a frenzy of killing at any time.

The tribesmen around them looked at them in horror, but did not dare to approach easily, for fear of irritating their companions who were about to lose control.

At this moment, a figure flashed by like a ghost.

Kimimaro appears in front of everyone!

He held a few bags of coffee in his hand and threw them in front of the six tribesmen who were about to lose control.

The aroma of coffee instantly filled the air, and the six tribesmen stiffened as if they were under a spell. Then, their noses began to twitch wildly as they greedily inhaled the aroma.

They looked like an old smoker who had been locked up for half a month and suddenly saw a cigarette, his eyes full of madness and desire. They rushed to the coffee bag desperately, grabbed the coffee beans and put them into their mouths.

Kimimaro flashed and instantly came among the crowd. He waved his hands like the wind and dispersed the tribesmen who rushed over one by one.

Kimimaro stood there, looking at everyone with cold eyes, and then shouted loudly: "Uchiha Izumi!"

After a while, Quan came hurriedly.

Kimimaro pointed at the coffee bag on the ground and said to Quan, "Grind coffee for them."

Izumi was slightly stunned, but soon understood Kimimaro's intention.

After a while, cups of steaming, fragrant coffee were served to the six tribesmen.

They took the coffee eagerly and poured it into their mouths with trembling hands.

The boiling hot coffee flowed down their throats, warming their cold bodies and gradually dispelling the crazy bloodthirsty desire in their hearts.

Under the effect of coffee, the six Uchiha people suffering from anorexia finally stabilized.

Their eyes gradually regained clarity, and a hint of color appeared on their pale faces. The surrounding tribesmen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

After finishing the work on the ground, Kimimaro strode into the dark and deep underground laboratory. A pungent smell of chemicals filled the air, and various instruments flashed cold lights and made a slight humming sound.

Orochimaru stood in front of the experimental table, staring intently at the sample under the microscope.

Hearing the footsteps, he slowly raised his head, slightly extended his tongue, and licked his lips lightly.

Kimimaro walked in front of Orochimaru, bowed slightly, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Lord Orochimaru, the ghoul is stable."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, "Give the order and start collecting villagers. We will provide free housing and medical care."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Kimimaro turned around and strode away. His figure quickly disappeared into the dark passage of the laboratory.

After Kimimaro left, Orochimaru's tongue danced happily, and he murmured to himself: "The day of mass production of ghouls is not far away. But before that, we need to improve the productivity of the Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru licked his lips, "Researching a drug that can act as an aphrodisiac?"

On the other side, Kimimaro dragged his slightly tired body back to his room.

The room was simply furnished, with almost nothing else except a bed and a table.

He walked over to the table and picked up a pack of Orochimaru's special coffee.

As soon as you open the package, a unique aroma spreads instantly.

He expertly poured the coffee into the cup and brewed it with hot water.

Looking at the steaming cup of coffee, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Since the transplantation of RC cells, his original illness was cured by the RC cells, but it also left him with the sequelae of hemothirstiness.

However, fortunately, there is Orochimaru's special coffee. Just one cup of it can effectively suppress his crazy bloodthirsty desire.

He picked up the coffee, slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and took a sip. The hot coffee slid down his throat, bringing an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Thinking that it was not only Orochimaru who brought all this about, but also Uchiha Uchiha of Konoha, Kimimaro began to look forward to his next meeting with Uchiha.

By then, my strength should scare Uchiha Yu a lot, right?

Deep in the cave shrouded in darkness and filled with a mysterious atmosphere, the swaying candlelight flickered like a ghost fire, and strange light and shadows danced freely on the rough stone walls.

The core members of Akatsuki stood in silence, and a meeting concerning a major change was quietly beginning.

"We suffered heavy losses in this operation and our plans were completely disrupted!"

Tendo Pain was suspended in mid-air, his face was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion, and his cold Samsara eyes emitted a chilling light, "The culprit is Uchiha Yu, a powerful existence that we did not expect."

"Hmph, the Uchiha clan has always been treacherous, always lurking in the dark. It's not surprising that such a powerful character suddenly emerges." Biwa Juuzou curled his lips, a fierce look appeared on his face, and the Broken Sword and Beheading Sword trembled slightly behind him, as if he was also dissatisfied with this setback.

"It seems that we underestimated the strength of the Uchiha clan." Xiaonan said softly, but his expression was solemn. "His appearance has added many variables to our subsequent actions."

Hidden in the red amber, Scorpion said in a low and hateful voice, "Uchiha Yu that brat must be eliminated!"

Everyone's attention then turned to Uchiha Itachi.

At this moment, Itachi's face was as pale as paper, and the places where his two arms were originally were empty, making him look particularly desolate.

"Itachi, don't worry." Tendo Pain's eyes fell on Itachi, his tone was cold, but with a hint of unquestionable determination, "We will make an arm for you to help you recover your combat power as soon as possible."

Itachi nodded slightly, but his eyes revealed a hint of worry.

Under normal circumstances, Itachi would not reflect on his actions.

But after Uchiha Yu's scolding, Itachi felt that he didn't do it perfectly enough.
Can killing really save the village?
At this moment, the air in the cave seemed to freeze, and a figure emerged from the ground, speaking solemnly: "Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen are both dead."

The news of the extinction was like a bombshell, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd.

The cave fell into a brief silence, and everyone's face was filled with shock.

Uchiha Itachi's body shook violently, his eyes widened instantly, his eyes full of disbelief and anxiety, "What did you say? How could they die?" His voice trembled rarely, he was always calm, but at this moment he was completely confused.

Zetsu continued, "Orochimaru took advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack and killed Sarutobi Hiruzen. They claimed that Danzo died at the hands of Uchiha Madara, but we all know that this is impossible."

Itachi's expression became increasingly uglier.

The secret deal he reached with Konoha has become a thing of the past with the deaths of these two people.

Sasuke's future suddenly fell into endless darkness and unknown.

Itachi's situation is equivalent to that of the undercover Liang Chaowei without his chief Huangqiu.

"This may be an opportunity for us." Biwa Juzang broke the silence, his eyes flashing with greed, "Konoha has lost its two main pillars and is bound to fall into chaos. We can take advantage of this opportunity to move in."

"Don't take it lightly." Xiaonan immediately retorted, her eyes calm and wise, "Konoha has a deep foundation. In this situation, they are likely to unite unprecedentedly. If we act rashly, we may suffer greater losses."

"Humph, they are just a bunch of rabble, why should we be afraid of them?" Biwa Juzang snorted disdainfully, his voice full of arrogance and pride, "As long as I take action, I will be able to turn Konoha upside down."

"Even so, we still need to think long-term." Jue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "We must not ruin the organization's plans because of a momentary impulse."

"We still need to be cautious about this matter." Konan frowned slightly, his expression full of worry, "Our goal is to collect the tailed beasts. If we get stuck in a stalemate because of Konoha's affairs, the gains will outweigh the losses."

Tendo Pain listened quietly to everyone's arguments. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Itachi, fully cooperate with the repair of your arm and recover as soon as possible. Everyone else, pay close attention to the situation in Konoha and concentrate on finding useful people to continue to expand the organization."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the widow Xiaonan, who had a paper flower in her hair, and said, "Come and see me."

Xiaonan nodded: "Yes."

"Let's adjourn."
