Naruto: Destroy the Sarutobi Clan At the Beginning

Only Sasuke, doubting his entire existence, was left in the hall.

Sasuke collapsed to the ground, the Heaven's Curse Mark slowly fading, and returned to his original, handsome form.

Even now, he hadn't recovered from the shock of what had just happened.

He never imagined that after training for three full years, thinking he had finally caught up with Fujiwara Kirito, he would still be this powerless.

The gap between them was like an endless chasm.

How would he ever kill Itachi at this rate?

Meanwhile...

Outside the base—

Yamato, Karin, Sakura, and Naruto had already arrived.

"This should be it." Yamato looked at the massive stone formation, which had sealed shut again. He turned to Karin. "Karin, we're counting on you."

"I got it." Karin raised her right hand to form a seal, entering a sensory state.

She detected the chakra signatures of Pakura, Kabuto, Orochimaru, and Sasuke within the base. The moment she picked up Kirito's chakra, her lovesick instincts kicked in—blood gushed from her nose.

"What's wrong, Karin?" Yamato asked urgently.

Naruto and Sakura also looked over in concern. Sakura handed her a handkerchief. "Senior Karin, are you okay?"

"It's nothing… I just sensed an unusually large chakra signature," Karin replied, a bit flustered as she wiped her nosebleed.

"Then Fujiwara Kirito is definitely inside." Yamato's expression turned serious.

As a member of the Hokage's personal ANBU unit, Yamato knew a lot about Kirito. One of those facts was his massive chakra reserves—though that detail hadn't seemed all that important until now.

Karin nodded. "Not only Lord Kirito, but the female Akatsuki member is inside too, along with Orochimaru and Kabuto."

"Sasuke! What about Sasuke?" Sakura and Naruto asked in unison.

"I did detect a fifth chakra, but… it's extremely cold and completely different from the Sasuke of three years ago. I can't confirm it's him." Karin concentrated again, then answered seriously.

Yamato responded, "The Uchiha's Sharingan evolves through intense emotional trauma. That evolution often comes with a loss of something important, and as a result, their chakra tends to become dark and cold."

"Based on intelligence reports, Sasuke's Sharingan hasn't reached Mangekyō yet, but it has matured to three tomoe. I think it's safe to say that chakra belongs to him."

"He lost so much…" Sakura and Naruto lowered their eyes, their hearts filled with conflicting emotions.

Seeing this, Yamato didn't know how to comfort them. Just like in the original story, he handed Karin, Naruto, and Sakura seeds infused with his Wood Release chakra and created an underground path with a hand seal.

The four of them jumped down one after another. Their infiltration mission had begun.

Elsewhere—

Kirito had already arrived inside Orochimaru's laboratory.

"It's such a plain lab, but the equipment is surprisingly complete," Kirito remarked, glancing at the snake-shaped specimens in ampoules. "Orochimaru, can't you study anything that's not a snake?"

He walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a medical book.

He hadn't been able to understand these kinds of texts in the past, but ever since acquiring god-level medical ninjutsu, this knowledge had become as easy to read as a picture book.

"Haha, Kirito-kun, forgive my eccentric tastes," Orochimaru replied. He was already used to Kirito's mocking tone. Changing the subject, he continued, "Kirito-kun, are you interested in medical texts?"

As he spoke, Orochimaru gestured to Kabuto. Understanding immediately, Kabuto went to the wall, performed a hand seal, and revealed a hidden circular passage. He then stepped inside.

Kirito answered casually, "I wouldn't say interested. But when you're out in the field, not knowing medical ninjutsu could be a death sentence. You get poisoned, injured, your strength drops—your enemies will chase you to death. I've just dabbled in it these past few years."

"Then… can I assume the drug that made Danzo and Asuma Sarutobi pregnant was also made by you, Kirito-kun?" Orochimaru's vertical golden pupils sparkled with curiosity.

"It seems you know quite a bit." Kirito narrowed his eyes.

Orochimaru's gaze was filled with both greed and admiration. "Naturally. After you exposed the First Hokage's cells and the Sharingan embedded in Danzo's right arm, he went into hiding. But his offspring remained. One of them even inherited Hashirama's genes and could use basic Wood Release, though not as well as Yamato."

"You're pretty interested in that potion, huh?" Kirito said with a smirk.

Orochimaru didn't deny it. "Being able to make a man pregnant—and grow a uterus from nothing—is a godsend for researchers like me. If you could share some samples for testing, that'd be ideal. Or better yet, let me drink one myself."

"…Drink it?" Kirito's mouth twitched. "Are you sure?"

Pakura gave Orochimaru a disgusted look. She thought she'd already seen the worst of his behavior, but this surpassed all expectations.

A grown man actually wants to get pregnant? Gross.

"Of course," Orochimaru replied calmly. He was long past caring about societal norms. He had already taken over a woman's body in pursuit of immortality. Pregnancy didn't faze him.

All he cared about was satisfying his scientific curiosity.

"Well then, open wide. I'll grant your wish." Kirito retrieved a drop of Zimu River Water—no larger than a fingernail—from the system inventory and let it float in the air.

Orochimaru opened his mouth obediently. With a flick of Kirito's finger, the drop flew straight into his mouth.

As a master of human anatomy, Orochimaru immediately felt the change.

The moment the "potion" entered his system, he sensed something forming—a uterus, specifically. A female organ had literally appeared inside his body.

"This… this is…" Orochimaru was in awe, as though he had discovered a new world. His body and voice trembled slightly.

He looked at Kirito again—this time with none of his usual malice, only admiration. "Amazing… truly amazing, Kirito-kun."

"I never imagined you could create something like this. You really are a genius. If this could be used on people with special abilities or rare bloodlines, it could mass-produce new geniuses."
