Deep within the lab, Orochimaru, clad in a jonin vest and holding a blood-stained scalpel, stood at an experimental table. His focus was entirely on the dissection before him.
Hearing movement at the entrance, Orochimaru turned, visibly surprised. This intrusion was clearly beyond his expectations.
The scene before them sent a wave of rage through the Uchiha Police Force. Sharingan eyes blazed to life in crimson intensity, one after another.
Everyone present was incensed, it was impossible to remain calm at the sight of Orochimaru's depravity.
Fueled by fury, the police force members vanished from their positions, reappearing instantly within the lab.
"How unexpected," Orochimaru said, unfazed by the sudden invasion. His lips curled into an amused smirk. "I didn't think the Uchiha clan had the ability to find this place."
Fugaku's crimson Sharingan eyes locked onto Orochimaru. His voice was cold and sharp.
"Orochimaru, your abduction of villagers for human experimentation is irrefutable. Surrender now."
A soft chuckle escaped Orochimaru's lips.
"Human experimentation? It's true. There's no denying it. But these sacrifices are merely necessary steps on my path toward truth."
With a sneer, he continued, "The question is, does the Uchiha clan have the strength to stop me?"
Fugaku's voice dropped, a steely edge to his tone. "I advise you to abandon resistance. Against our clan's Sharingan, your ninjutsu is utterly laughable—there are no secrets to hide from us."
Orochimaru's face darkened. Anger flared in his eyes.
"Then let's see how remarkable your Sharingan truly is!"
The next moment, Orochimaru vanished. In a blur too fast for ordinary eyes to follow, he charged directly at Fugaku.
Though renowned as a master of ninjutsu, Orochimaru's taijutsu prowess was far from weak. Yet, this time, his overconfidence led him astray.
Poised to strike, Orochimaru stopped abruptly, kunai in hand, just two meters away from Fugaku. His movements froze mid-attack.
Fugaku's Sharingan had already transformed into the intricate patterns of the Mangekyō. A hint of surprise flickered across his face.
Unbeknownst to Orochimaru, the moment their eyes met, Fugaku had ensnared him in a genjutsu.
Sweat trickled down Orochimaru's forehead. Within his mind, he found himself trapped in a black-and-red world. In the sky above loomed Fugaku's Mangekyō Sharingan, its overwhelming power maintaining this nightmarish domain.
Bound to a wooden post within this illusion, Orochimaru's expression was one of disbelief. One of the legendary Sannin, trapped by genjutsu!
"Damn it..." Orochimaru struggled violently, but no amount of effort could free him from the genjutsu.
On the outside, members of the Uchiha clan murmured amongst themselves.
"Is this all the Sannin are capable of? The clan leader subdued him with a single genjutsu!"
"The so-called Sannin aren't as impressive as they claim."
"Truly terrifying strength—our leader ended it all without lifting a finger."
Fugaku regarded Orochimaru thoughtfully, his expression calm despite the unexpected success of his illusion.
Standing to the side, Uchiha Akira frowned, lost in thought.
Has Orochimaru already begun developing the cursed seal? Judging by his state, he must have tampered with his own soul.
Under the relentless grip of Fugaku's genjutsu, Orochimaru had no choice but to confess everything. He painstakingly detailed his forbidden experiments onto a scroll.
When the scroll was finally completed, its sheer volume left everyone present stunned.
The lab's occupants exchanged uneasy glances. None of them had expected Orochimaru to have committed such a staggering array of forbidden acts: Edo Tensei, secret research with Danzo on Mokuton, implanting Hashirama cells, transplanting Sharingan, and even experimenting with tailed beast chakra.
Fugaku sighed as he held the scroll.
"Orochimaru's crimes are truly unforgivable."
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the lab.
Turning toward the noise, the group saw four masked ANBU arrive, led by a silver-haired ninja wearing a cat mask.
Upon entering the lab, the silver-haired ANBU froze, his gaze darting over the scene before him. Even with two years of experience in the shadows of Konoha, the sheer horror of the lab's contents left him speechless.
"What... what is this?" His voice trembled, betraying his shock.
Fugaku glanced at the silver-haired ANBU and immediately recognized him.
"As you can see, Orochimaru has been abducting villagers for forbidden human experimentation. He has now been captured by the Police Force."
Hearing this, the silver-haired ANBU's gaze fell on Orochimaru, still frozen mid-attack with a kunai in hand. His pupils contracted in disbelief.
Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin, powerful and revered, a former contender for the title of Fourth Hokage—and a disciple of the Third Hokage—reduced to this?
The silver-haired ANBU felt a chill run through him.
This must be reported to Lord Hokage immediately.
Surveying the lab one final time, he addressed his team.
"Mouse, Fox, Ox—stay here and secure the scene. I will report this to Hokage-sama."
Neither Fugaku nor the other Uchiha members made any move to stop him. In fact, this was exactly what they wanted.
By the time the ANBU returned to the village center, news of Orochimaru's deeds would already have spread across Konoha.
As the silver-haired ANBU—Kakashi Hatake—vanished in a blur, Fugaku ordered ten Uchiha to guard the lab and its secrets. Then, without haste, they escorted the subdued Orochimaru toward the heart of the village.
Kakashi arrived at the Hokage's office within minutes, his urgency apparent.
"Hokage-sama," he said, his tone grim. "There's been an incident. Orochimaru has been caught conducting human experiments on villagers. The evidence is irrefutable."
"What?!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shot to his feet, shock written across his face. Despite his suspicions, hearing the news confirmed was like a punch to the gut.
"The Police Force is bringing him to the village as we speak," Kakashi added, his head bowed.
Hiruzen stood frozen, his mind racing. In a single moment, the situation had spiraled beyond control.
"Dismissed," he muttered, waving Kakashi off. Alone, he whispered to himself, "Orochimaru..."
