After extracting Boru's memories, Mirai Uchiha immediately tossed him to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru found this guy, who practically possessed the [Immortal Body], quite intriguing.
Judging from the regeneration speed he'd displayed, even those with Hashirama Cells couldn't keep up.
If he could extract the corresponding genetic material from him, that would be ideal.
After leaving the lab complex, Mirai Uchiha headed straight for the Valley Country.
According to intelligence from Boru's mind, there was also a Kara Organization intelligence base hidden within the Valley Country.
Arriving at the Valley Country, Mirai Uchiha followed the intel and made his way into a secluded valley.
Inside this valley, there was an almost imperceptible protective barrier.
Mirai Uchiha broke through the barrier field and entered what appeared to be a massive living room.
Within this space, nearly one hundred rooms were arranged closely together, with a central control console situated in the middle.
Each room was connected to the central console by specialized cables.
As soon as Mirai Uchiha stepped inside, he sensed someone launching a [Spiritual Attack] against him.
In response, a slight smirk curved across Mirai's lips.
He noticed that members of the Kara Organization always seemed to have inexplicable confidence.
Whether it was Bolo, Deepa, or now this person called Aoya, they all dared to unleash [Strikes] directly against him.
How amusing.
With a single thought, Mirai Uchiha unleashed a powerful [Spiritual Backlash].
The very next second, Aoya—who had been hiding beside a life-support pod near the central console—let out a startled cry.
In an endless expanse of darkness, only a pair of [Rinnegan Eyes], glowing faintly with purple light, hung suspended in the sky.
Those eyes simply stared at her. Nothing else existed.
Aoya ran wildly through the dark void, desperately trying to escape the gaze of those eyes above, but no matter how long she walked, her surroundings never changed.
Even more terrifying was the fact that within this space, she felt neither fatigue nor hunger and could not even fall asleep.
She could only remain trapped within this oppressive space.
Aoya knew she had fallen into a [Genjutsu], yet had absolutely no way to break free.
Even suicide proved impossible.
Not knowing how much time had passed within this space, just as Aoya's sanity neared its breaking point, her sight suddenly returned to normal.
She burst violently from the life-support pod, collapsing onto the ground and gasping for breath.
Mirai Uchiha crouched down beside Aoya, smirking. "Not bad. You actually lasted more than ten days."
Looking at the man before her, Aoya's emotions surged wildly.
Although she knew the opponent was most likely there to kill her, after experiencing such a long time within the genjutsu, she no longer wished to go through it again — even if it meant death.
"You're Aoya, right?"
"Those unexplained disappearances in the Shen Nation — were you behind them all?"
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's question, Aoya didn't dare to hide anything and immediately nodded. "Yeah, I was the one who kidnapped them."
"Oh?" Mirai Uchiha raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Aoya answered at once, "I had already lost my will to keep living, so I wanted to observe their struggle for survival inside the genjutsu, hoping it might give me some insight."
Mirai Uchiha asked calmly, "Struggle for survival? What if I told you that death is eternal? Would you still want to die, knowing you'd relive everything you just experienced inside that genjutsu forever?"
Upon hearing this, terror flashed across Aoya's eyes. She quickly shook her head. "No! I never ever want to experience that again!"
Mirai Uchiha smiled with satisfaction. He reached out and gently stroked Aoya's head, saying softly, "Then from now on, follow me. Let me be your reason for existing in this world."
Looking into Mirai Uchiha's eyes, Aoya felt as though her mind had turned to ice.
Dazedly, she nodded and replied solemnly, "Understood. From now on, you shall be the only meaning of my existence in this world."
Mirai Uchiha reached out and caressed Aoya's forehead, causing the tattoo-like mark there to vanish instantly.
Looking at the sweet and adorable Aoya, Mirai Uchiha nodded with approval.
This mission truly brought considerable gains.
Touno Shinshi and now Aoya — both were among his favorite types.
Successfully bringing these two women under his control was definitely worth celebrating.
"Mirai, I'll release all these people now."
After saying this, Aoya dispelled the [Genjutsu] affecting everyone inside the room.
Since she had already found the meaning of her life, these people were no longer of any use to her.
Before anyone else could awaken, Aoya left the base together with Mirai Uchiha.
Perhaps...
She was about to begin a brand-new life.
———
Kara.
Base.
Jigen stared at the several individuals before him, murder flickering in his eyes.
"What exactly has been going on lately? Why have our Kara bases fallen one by one?"
"Bolo and Deepa are both dead; Outer Faction members have suffered heavy losses too."
"Haven't you noticed anything at all?"
At Jigen's sharp tone, Amado Sanzu and Koji Kashin remained silent.
Victor simply wore his usual indifferent expression.
Only Kodai spoke up, "According to my investigation, the first identified base was located within the Snow Country, and it was Mirai Uchiha who personally dealt with it."
"I'm willing to go to Konoha to look into this matter further."
Jigen waved his hand dismissively, "No, it's not yet your time to act. You should continue monitoring the Ten-Tails."
After saying that, he solemnly addressed everyone, "For now, all of you must keep a low profile. Don't make contact with any external bases anymore."
"Once we get through this period, everything will shift."
After speaking, Jigen turned and left.
The other Inner Faction members also departed one by one.
Koji Kashin and Amado Sanzu walked side by side. Koji asked, "Jigen's body shouldn't last much longer. How prepared are you?"
Amado replied calmly, "Rest assured, I've already made arrangements on the spaceship. Everything will proceed according to plan."
"With Mirai Uchiha getting involved, Isshiki will most likely have no choice but to reincarnate through Jigen's body."
Nodding slightly, Koji asked, "I've always been curious about this — why did you decide to betray Isshiki?"
Amado gave a cold snort.
"I've come to understand Isshiki's nature. He would never actually keep his promise to share the Chakra Fruit with us, nor would he waste power reviving my daughter."
"I've heard that Mirai Uchiha possesses the ability to bring people back from the dead. That's precisely why secretly leaking Kara intelligence has become my bargaining tool when defecting to Mirai Uchiha in the future."
"Of course, there's a prerequisite — Mirai must prove that he can truly defeat Isshiki."
