Chapter 305: Uchiha Clan Mass Production Plan
Yasushi watched from below for ages, discovering Orochimaru consistently relied on chakra orbs for combat. Large chakra-consuming dojutsu like "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" and "Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" he'd never used once—revealing Orochimaru's weakness lay in chakra quantity.
Though strengthened by Tenseigan, ultimately his Tenseigan was seized from Hinata—not his own. Using it proved somewhat awkward.
However, since those test subjects could already enter "Pseudo One-Tail Transformation," no reason Orochimaru couldn't.
This only meant these Cloud attacks couldn't pressure Orochimaru sufficiently—fundamentally insufficient forcing him to reveal all trump cards.
If so, Yasushi wasn't rushing to intervene—merely watching the spectacle gleefully from the sidelines.
After fighting all day, Cloud finally couldn't withstand losses. With a whistle, they retreated orderly.
Orochimaru pursued briefly while claiming considerable spoils before returning with subordinates.
Only then did Yasushi appear, meeting Orochimaru.
"Haha, Lord Orochimaru—long time no see! Looks like the research I previously commissioned you has produced results!"
Orochimaru's gaze circled Yasushi before grinning without humor.
"Yasushi-kun's reputation recently resonates throughout the shinobi world!"
"Never expected Konoha—such a massive shinobi village, once the shinobi world's strongest—now destroyed in Yasushi-kun's hands."
"Hey, Lord Orochimaru—don't speak carelessly." Yasushi shook his head like a rattle drum, firmly denying Orochimaru's "frame-up."
"Konoha Village was destroyed by Itachi's hands. He released monsters from the Box of Ultimate Bliss, causing Konoha Village's dissolution. This has nothing to do with me."
"Hehe..." Orochimaru laughed noncommittally twice. His long tongue flicked beside his face while speaking meaningfully: "That fellow called Mizuki seems to have disappeared!"
Yasushi smiled without speaking, refusing his conversational bait.
Orochimaru didn't continue this topic, extending his hand to invite Yasushi into Otogakure.
Though having experienced battle, combat mainly occurred outside the village. Current Otogakure remained completely peaceful, not overly affected.
Kabuto Yakushi greeted Orochimaru before leading a group of shinobi dispersing separately. Only one small child-like figure remained.
"Oh, Lord Yasushi—I've finally met you!"
The small child wore an admiring expression. Eyes sparkling like containing little stars while fixedly staring at Yasushi's face.
"This child is called Shin—a fanatical Uchiha clan worshipper." Orochimaru introduced.
"Hahaha..."
Yasushi watched this small child laughing loudly while casually producing a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan from his bosom, handing them over.
"Shin, these Sharingan are yours. From today onward, you are Uchiha Shin!"
"Ah, really?" Shin immediately grew wildly ecstatic, receiving those Sharingan with trembling hands. Without another word, he began transplanting them into his own eyes.
Yasushi greatly liked this Uchiha clan fanatic, immediately extending his hand to completely eliminate transplantation damage.
Originally Sharingan were hot-swappable. Shin's constitution proved special—no organ transplant rejection reactions whatsoever.
Eyes closed then opened—Shin became Uchiha.
Moreover, his transplantation differed from Kakashi's.
Shin could completely transform Sharingan into his own eyes—freely opening and closing them, eventually awakening Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even his clones could awaken Mangekyō—highlighting utter freedom.
Orochimaru understood Yasushi best—knowing this fellow never rose early without profit.
Now seeing Yasushi value Shin so highly, he immediately grew interested. His gaze circled Shin, deciding to invest more research in this test subject afterward.
Yasushi didn't hide anything from Orochimaru, directly stating:
"Shin's future cloning technology will prove extremely formidable. Our Uchiha clan's revival might depend on Shin."
"Current Uchiha population remains too small. Relying on normal reproduction fundamentally cannot achieve revival results."
"Besides resurrecting the dead, the best method is cloning."
"I have all clan members' biological tissue information. What's lacking is technology."
"Presumably Lord Orochimaru also lacks time researching these matters. Why not entrust this task to Shin? Whatever resources needed, I'll provide."
"I see!" Orochimaru carefully considered, feeling this proved absolutely advantageous before nodding agreement: "No problem. I'll specifically open a laboratory for Shin afterward."
"I'll provide him with related knowledge scrolls. Kabuto can initially lead him studying. After he can independently manage matters, he'll fully oversee cloning affairs."
Hearing this, Shin grew even more excited. As though scorching heat flowed from his heart pumping toward limbs—nearly losing self-control.
"Lord Yasushi, thank you for trusting me!"
Shin slapped his chest loudly guaranteeing—seemingly using all body strength for this soul's cry.
"I'll definitely study cloning technology diligently, making due contributions toward our Uchiha clan's future revival!"
The Uchiha clan was a clan of love. Suddenly losing loved ones amid happy, fulfilling life could trigger Uchiha Mangekyō awakening. Suddenly gaining loved ones from nothing naturally could too!
Though Orochimaru's subordinate, he was merely a test subject—fundamentally impossible receiving any recognition or emotional sustenance from Orochimaru or other test subjects.
Correspondingly, prolonged experiences being treated as tools and materials made his heart's depths burn increasingly fiercely for being recognized and belonging.
This longing today exploded completely at once through Yasushi.
Merely brief contact, yet Yasushi's words and actions unlocked his long-sealed heart door like keys.
Today's first meeting—he received precious three-tomoe Sharingan from Yasushi, obtained the Uchiha surname, becoming the longed-for Uchiha clan member.
This wasn't merely a gift, but soul homecoming and identity coronation.
From today onward, Shin was no longer the shinobi world's rootless duckweed, but a clan shinobi with precise group and surname belonging.
Not only that—Yasushi greatly recognized and valued him. Even the immensely important task of Uchiha clan revival was entrusted to his hands.
This heavy trust proved more precious and moving than anything in this world.
Shin trembled throughout his body. The three tomoe in his eyes rotated violently.
Within those blood-red eyes, surging emotions nearly overflowed. The tomoe patterns began twisting and reorganizing amid emotional turbulence—ultimately suddenly leaping, transforming into bell-shaped Mangekyō bearing round dots.
Uchiha Shin awakened Mangekyō Sharingan!
