Itachi narrowed his eyes, "Orochimaru..." he said, finally letting out a long sigh before beginning to tell the story of Orochimaru.
After a while, Sirzechs squinted; Orochimaru's story really made him recall what happened during the ancient war. He lifted his head with curiosity and finally sighed.
"Actually, although we didn't know his name, we have received reports about this person called Orochimaru," Sirzechs said, making a grimace as if pondering something before speaking again.
"Six months ago, a very pale-skinned person was sighted; he killed Ruval Phenex and took his body away, we only know this thanks to a high-ranking demon who managed to escape, by your description, it must be that Orochimaru."
After Sirzechs' words, Riser squinted, his body completely stiffened, his eyes focused on Itachi, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Four months ago, more than ten high-ranking demons from the Bael, Belphegor, Beial, and Agares clans were killed by that same pale-skinned person," Sirzechs said before sighing.
"Two months ago, a high-ranking demon from the Belphegor clan was found with strange cracks on his body, black eyes, and a dead gaze, his power had increased considerably, and he was completely tireless, incapable of being killed..." Sirzechs began to narrate how a group of demons encountered a strange high-ranking demon who had previously killed members of the Belphegor clan.
After Lucifer's story, Itachi opened his mouth again, "It's probably Edo-Tensei, a forbidden technique to revive the dead... once revived, they are tireless, they won't die..." he paused.
Itachi looked at the demons before him and finally spoke again, "They should have infinite chakra, but since you don't use chakra, I don't know if Orochimaru modified the technique so the revived have infinite magic or something like that," he concluded.
Sirzechs nodded several times, "What do you think Orochimaru's goal is?" There was a brief silence in the room before Itachi broke it.
"I don't know exactly, he seems to have changed since the last time I saw him; he's different, but it's better to kill him..." Itachi quickly concluded.
Sirzechs nodded, smiled at Itachi, and gestured to Serafall. She opened her eyes and smiled, "Itachi, actually, although you can't participate in a duel against Riser, we can offer you something else..." Serafall paused, smiled like a cute girl, then continued.
"What do you think about becoming a demon? Not a servant of demons, but a special demon, Ajuka can help us, you would have your own Peerage and found a clan in the underworld..." Serafall pulled a box about the size of a small head from her bag and placed it on the table in front of her.
"What do you think about founding the Uchiha clan in the underworld? We would add you as one of the main demon clans, you would also be granted a territory, servants, and lots of money..." Serafall began listing the benefits of becoming a demon.
Itachi had to admit, he felt tempted, now they weren't offering him to join a Peerage; they offered him his own Peerage, to become one of the 72 main demon clans, the 73rd clan.
Serafall finished speaking, smiled at Itachi confidently, and pushed the strange black box toward him.
"So, What do you think?" she asked.
"..."
However, unlike what Sirzechs, Riser, or Serafall expected, Itachi didn't accept quickly. Instead, he looked at all three.
"What do you want from me in return?" he said. He wasn't foolish; he knew these demons wouldn't easily give something so valuable.
"Hehehe," Serafall laughed lightly, Sirzechs did the same, and Riser remained silent.
"Actually, we want the theory of Chakra and the techniques that can be used with this new energy," Sirzechs smiled at Itachi, lightly slapped the table, and said.
"Techniques about the use of chakra, Huh?" Itachi smiled, grabbed the black box, and began playing with it in his hands, "That's really a lot for me..." Itachi made a gesture of regret.
"How about this, Sir Sirzechs: I will give you all my knowledge about chakra use and theory in exchange for becoming part of the demon clans and... Serafall's hand in marriage..." Itachi said, his voice serious and his eyes focused on the Demon Lady.
"..."
There was a brief silence. Itachi smiled brightly. In fact, he didn't do this because he had fallen in love with Serafall, but because he once read in a negotiation book the phrase: "Start with an impossible offer, then say your real offer, to convince your rival."
"If I ask for Serafall's hand in marriage, then when she refuses, I can ask for Ajuka's support to see if it's possible to connect this world with the ninja world," Itachi's eyes shone at this possibility, and he licked his lips internally thinking of seeing Sasuke married.
"Besides, these guys don't seem willing to let me go," Itachi thought, his eyes mainly focused on Sirzechs, the demon, who, although relaxed, emitted a powerful presence. Itachi didn't dare try to fight him; after all, Asia was still in this house.
He had thought about activating the Mangekyou at the beginning, fighting and then escaping with Asia, but Itachi has doubts after talking for a while with Sirzechs.
However...
"Hehehe, quite bold..." Sirzechs smiled and began laughing loudly, Riser to his right watched Itachi with wide eyes; his heart stopped for a moment, and his expression was total confusion.
"Asking for Serafall's hand in marriage... Itachi," Riser opened his eyes even wider, looked at Itachi, and in his mind formed a spectacular scene: Itachi standing atop a platform, the sun shining behind him, making him look spectacular.
"Sir Itachi... no, God Itachi, you're really amazing..." Riser thought before beginning to smile brightly.
However, Serafall blinked several times, pointed at herself confusedly, looked at Itachi, then at Sirzechs, then back at Itachi. Her eyes began to dilate as her gaze became brighter and brighter.
"Marry a stranger from another world?" she asked somewhat loudly, her tone seeming puzzled and a little annoyed, she narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze on Itachi.
"Ahem, well, it's a bit unreasonable, Isn't it?" Itachi was about to make a sort of negotiation, removing the part where he would marry Serafall for Ajuka's help, when his ears caught a particular response.
"I accept!!" Serafall said, almost shouting, she patted her chest and looked at Itachi with bright eyes.
Upstairs, Itachi's clone was playing with Asia. Suddenly, they heard a loud "I accept!!" coming from downstairs and stopped.
"Itachi, What was that?" Asia asked. However, the clone of Itachi shook his head.
"It's not like I have a mental connection in real-time or anything like that, hehe," he said.
However, Asia narrowed her eyes, felt like hitting someone, and simply shook her head.
Itachi was completely stunned, "What happened to the lessons from the book?" he asked himself repeatedly as Serafall blushed, took several steps forward, kissed him on the cheek, left the black box, whispered "See you soon," and then the three demons retreated through a portal.
"What happened to the lessons from the book?"
"What happened to the lessons from the book?"
"What happened to the lessons from the book?"
Itachi kept asking himself repeatedly. The black box in his hand glowed slightly, Itachi, still surprised, looked down, Sirzechs had told him how to use the box to become a special demon and how his Peerage pieces would condense in front of him after using the box.
"Hehehe," Itachi began to laugh slowly, looked at the box with a forced smile before clenching his teeth, "It's impossible, the book failed this time..." he muttered, he felt cheated and thought maybe he should ask for a refund from that scammy book.
