nYumie observed Tsukihi with an aggressive gaze, the corner of her lips arched as she muttered to herself,

"Perfect body proportions, extraordinary beauty, and temperament, coupled with excellent chakra, with an energetic and lively breath, and the most important of all, a fascinating pair of Sharingan, it's a pity that she doesn't have Mangekyou Sharingan, but it does not matter, I will make do with her for now, it seems that this time my luck is pretty good.

"

nFrom her words, Yumie doesn't seem to be looking at a person, but more like a piece of art, a carefully carved out piece of art with very high value.

nTsukihi sighed, she didn't know what to feel about being praised for her beauty by 'Orochimaru' of all, and it didn't really make it much better when the opposite was looking at her like she is a helpless prey only waiting to be slaughtered.

nTsukihi's face turned cold and she said mockingly,

"I am rather embarrassed by being praised by you. But I guess I should appreciate it nonetheless. All things aside, you have followed me all the way here, you don't expect me to believe that it was only to admire my beauty, right?

"

nYumie ignored Tsukihi's cold words and said while licking her lips as her gaze fixed on Tsukihi's onyx eyes,

"Although I don't want to admit it, Uchiha Bloodline is really fascinating.

"

nThat gaze of Orochimaru confirmed that he was really eyeing this clone body.

nOrochimaru's obsession with Sharingan will really make him suffer more and more.

nBut Tsukihi can't do anything about it.

nEven in the original story, Orochimaru repeatedly suffered in his quest to obtain Sharingan, be that at the hands of Itachi or Sasuke.

nEven here, he has already started to suffer in his quest to obtain Sharingan.

nAnd Tsukihi can easily conclude that perhaps his suffering here will be more than what he went through in the original story.

nWhy?

nBecause here Orochimaru seems to be more obsessed with Sharingan, his obsession has also birthed relatively early.

nEspecially after losing to Hiruko, a non-Uchiha who Orochimaru can step upon whenever he intended.

nHonestly, Kuroto can't help but feel pity for his Sensei.

n

"Give up, no matter what methods you use, no matter how much planning you use, you will never be able to obtain Sharingan, it will always end up in a failure.

" – That's was all that Tsukihi could say.

nHer expression was indifferent, and her tone flat, as if she was stating an obvious fact.

nBut Tsukihi's tone angered Yumie, she glared at Tsukihi and her tone savage,

"An ignorant girl sheltered by her clan, now that you dared to betray, it's about time you experience the wickedness and cruelty of this accursed Shinobi World!

"

nAnd instantly, Yumie's right hand stretched out at lightning speed.

nThe stretched-out hand turned into a poisonous snake and immediately wrapped around Tsukihi's body, tightly restricting her body.

nAt the same time, two snakes appeared out of the ground, tightly wrapping both of Tsukihi's legs., as a result restricting all her movements.

nSeeing that the attack succeeded, Yumie smiled in glee, and her neck stretched out moving towards Tsukihi's neck,

"Uchiha Tsukihi, I will be taking over your body!

"

nCaw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw… Caw…

nJust as Yumie's mouth was close to Tsukihi's neck, Tsukihi's body suddenly split into hundreds of black crows, hovering in the air.

nThe entire forest was covered with hundreds of crows.

nYumie's face changed and she retracted her head and hands.

nThe crows again gathered together in mid-air, revealing Tsukihi's upper body, three black tomoe spinning in the scarlet wheel of her eyes, looking at Yumie with pity.

nYumie muttered,

"Crow Clone Technique?

"

nCrow Clone Technique is a derived Clone technique from the Shadow Clone Technique. Compared with the Shadow Clone Technique, Crow Clone Technique has lesser Chakra requirements and is reusable even after the clone is dispersed.

nThis is because, in the Crow Clone Technique, a user projects their chakra towards a dozen crows. Since it uses a medium so the chakra requirement is lesser, and even after the clone is defeated, the crows can repeatedly regather together to reform the clone.

nAs such, this technique is not only extremely mysterious but also very useful.

nThe reason why the Crow Clone Technique is very rare because it requires a very complex level of coordination between the user and the Summon, as well as extremely fine Chakra Control.

nSo, although extremely useful, Crow Clone Technique is also very difficult to use.

nWhile floating in mid-air, Tsukihi spoke,

"I have long said that your attempts will always be useless, if you do not want to suffer in the future, it would be best that you give up in Sharingan.

"

nYumie's face was embarrassed,

"When did you notice? When did you use the 'Crow Clone Technique'?

"

nTsukihi said,

"Is there even a need to notice? Your greed is completely visible from your eyes. Whether me or Shinichi-sama, both of us were able to see through your intentions very clearly the moment we met, in fact, but I am curious, what made you think that you will be able to capture me if you find me alone? Do you really think that I am just some helpless little girl?

"

nYumie was silent for a while, then said in a gloomy tone,

"Uchiha Tsukihi, I will remember you!

"

nFaced with this humiliating experience, Yumie will obviously retaliate sooner or later.

nTsukihi didn't care about Yumie's gloomy tone, and said lightly,

"I am afraid that I can't promise the same.

"

nLeaving that sentence, Tsukihi's body again split into hundreds of crows, which began to disperse little-by-little.

nYumie can only helplessly look at the dispersing crown with a bitter look.

n…

nOn Uchiha Tsukihi's side.

nAfter receiving the information from the Crow Clone, Tsukihi, who stood on the canopy of a tree smiled slightly and immediately disappeared from her position.

nRunning all the way in the direction of Konohagakure.

nTsukihi obviously knew Yumie's (or Orochimaru's) intentions, therefore, it wasn't surprising that Orochimaru was led away by a Crow Clone.

nIf she chose, Tsukihi could have actually fought with Yumie, but doing so would have been dangerous and could have revealed information about her other identity or about the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, so direct confrontation was a big no-no.

nFor that very reason, Tsukihi also did not use Genjutsu.

nAfter a few days of travel, Tsukihi finally returned to Konoha.

nAfter sneaking into the secret laboratory, the soul was transferred back to the main body, along with summing up all the gains.

nWatching Hiruko's Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual may have been a new experience, an eye-opener.

nBut for Kuroto it was extremely important observation data, which he would use to further lay out his plans.

nAs such, sneaking there was not a waste of effort.

nPoof…

nWhile Kuroto was drawing out several of his hypothesis, the one-eyed wiper suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

nKuroto raised an eye-brow at the sudden arrival of the one-eyed wiper.

nTaking out the scroll from the mouth of the wiper, Kuroto read the content and sighed,

"He really doesn't intend to give up, does he?

"

nThe content of the scroll was very simple, Orochimaru wants Kuroto to help him to carefully investigate the details of an Uchiha Kunoichi going by the name of 'Uchiha Tsukihi.'

nWith the way the content on the scroll was written, it was clearly evident that Orochimaru is pretty eager to get his hands on 'Uchiha Tsukihi.'

n

"But I suppose that if he gave up so easily, he won't be Orochimaru!

"
