Naruto: Uchiha Plunder System

Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Operation



Seeing the embarrassed expression on Yakumo Kurama's face, Mirai Uchiha didn't say much but simply stood aside and watched quietly.

If you couldn't tease young girls a little, half the fun would be gone.

After a while, seeing Yakumo Kurama looked like she was about to cry, Mirai finally spoke up: "Yakumo, let's go."

"Eh?" Yakumo lifted her head with confusion. "Captain Mirai, where are we going?"

Mirai lightly chuckled: "I'm taking you for treatment of your bloodline disease."

Upon hearing this, Yakumo's expression immediately became excited: "Captain Mirai, do you really mean it?"

Mirai nodded: "Of course I do."

Then, she bent down slightly and gently lifted Yakumo into her arms. "Yakumo, hold onto me tightly."

Yakumo softly hummed in agreement, wrapping her arms around Mirai's neck and resting her head against Mirai's chest.

Inhaling Yakumo's natural fragrance, Mirai initiated her [Flying Thunder God] technique.

The very next moment, the two instantly appeared inside a dark underground cavern.

Seeing Mirai and Yakumo appear out of nowhere, Orochimaru was completely baffled: "Mirai-kun, how did you get here?"

Mirai casually replied, "During our first match, I left a Flying Thunder God Marker on you."

"I see. You truly plan far ahead, Mirai-kun."

Orochimaru didn't show any signs of dislike or fear; instead, his gaze shifted to Yakumo Kurama.

"Mirai-kun, is this young lady today's patient for the operation?"

"That's right." Mirai gave a brief introduction. "Yakumo Kurama, the inheritor of the Kekkei Genkai of the Kurama clan."

After listening to their conversation, Yakumo was momentarily stunned.

Although she hadn't learned much about the outside world, she had heard of Orochimaru before.

He was a truly terrifying person.

Once regarded as one of Konoha's legendary Sannin, he was even considered a candidate for the next Hokage—but now he's an S-ranked rogue ninja wanted by the village...

Never would she have imagined that Captain Mirai actually invited him to treat her.

Not noticing Yakumo's expression, Orochimaru continued speaking: "Mirai-kun, let me remind you beforehand—this operation doesn't have a very high success rate. If it fails, Yakumo Kurama will be consumed by Hashirama's cells and turn into a rapidly growing giant tree."

"The Kurama clan's Kekkei Genkai is extremely powerful. Instead of letting such valuable experimental materials go to waste, why not just leave her to me?"

Listening to Orochimaru's indifferent tone, Yakumo's small face turned deathly pale.

Just as panic set in, a pair of warm hands gently settled on her shoulders: "Orochimaru, she's under my protection. Don't even think about experimenting on her."

Hearing this, Orochimaru sighed with mild disappointment. "What a pity."

A surge of safety filled Yakumo Kurama's heart. She reached back and grabbed the hem of Mirai Uchiha's clothes, hiding behind him.

From just a few exchanged words, she had already figured it out.

In the relationship between Mirai and Orochimaru, clearly it was Mirai who held the dominant position.

Even someone as powerful as Orochimaru had been brought under complete control...

In an instant, Mirai's image in Yakumo Kurama's mind became even greater.

————

Yakumo Kurama lay unconscious on the operating table. Standing beside her, Orochimaru held a syringe while making one final confirmation. "Future-kun, are you sure about this?"

"Once we start, there won't be any turning back."

Mirai Uchiha replied indifferently. "Begin."

Orochimaru nodded before inserting the needle into Yakumo's vein.

Merely moments later, Yakumo's expression began showing signs of pain.

Her arms bulged with prominent veins, and a vast, surging energy continuously grew stronger, emitting a highly aggressive aura.

Her previously clear skin became coarse and yellowish...

"Future-kun, looks like we've failed."

Orochimaru's eyes revealed some regret.

Everyone's Physique varied, so the required quantity of Hashirama's cells also differed accordingly.

Slight differences—one drop more or less—in the cultivation liquid could directly lead to the failure of the procedure.

However, just as Orochimaru mentally sentenced Yakumo to death, a powerful ocular force suddenly appeared.

Under the influence of this ocular power, Yakumo's skin gradually regained its whiteness and smoothness.

Her physical condition stabilized again, and everything that had just happened seemed never to have occurred at all.

Orochimaru opened his mouth wide in astonishment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "Future-kun, you really continue to amaze me every time."

Mirai casually nodded and commanded, "Proceed."

Orochimaru had already been controlled by Kotoamatsukami—betrayal was absolutely impossible.

Even if Mirai now ordered Orochimaru to die right now, he would unquestioningly obey.

Therefore, with Orochimaru present, Mirai saw no need to hide his strength.

"I understand."

Orochimaru swiftly adjusted the ratio of Hashirama's cells within the cultivation liquid. Soon after, he injected the new mixture into Yakumo's body again.

But they failed once more.

Once, twice, three times...

Even for an expert like Orochimaru, failures kept happening repeatedly over a dozen times.

Finally...

After an entire afternoon had passed, Orochimaru once again delivered the prepared cultivation liquid into Yakumo's body.

This time, Yakumo Kurama's body didn't undergo rapid transformation like before. Instead, it remained in a relatively balanced state.

"It worked."

Orochimaru exhaled in relief, his eyes shining with excitement.

This was his first time performing such a procedure. Without worrying about success rates, he could just keep experimenting, learning from mistakes and making corrections...

Such an approach felt incredibly satisfying.

Sensing Orochimaru's expectant gaze, Mirai Uchiha spoke directly, "Orochimaru, I won't be staying in your lab all day messing with these things."

Orochimaru, unsurprised by this, began tidying up the lab equipment.

"Mirai-kun, currently Hashirama's cells and Yakumo Kurama's cells have reached a temporary balance, but this equilibrium won't last long."

"If we don't suppress them in time using the power of the Sharingan, Yakumo Kurama will still be consumed by Hashirama's cells."

Mirai Uchiha nodded, "I understand."

He was already satisfied with how effective it had been.

He just needed to inject Yakumo Kurama with some ocular power every day to counteract the side effects of Hashirama's cells.

Most importantly...

This experiment had proven the feasibility of his idea.

When Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha needed similar treatment in the future, he and Orochimaru could simply repeat today's procedure.

Plus... compared to Yakumo Kurama, neither Shisui nor Itachi would require his assistance - their own Mangekyou Sharingan would effectively suppress the Hashirama cells within their bodies.

In that case, the Mangekyou Sharingan's tendency to cause blindness could be completely eliminated.
