Chapter 62: My Own Flesh and Blood, I'll Raise Them Myself

Natsuhane initially just wanted to make Orochimaru behave. He never expected that today, Orochimaru would be a woman, giving birth to a new child. An unexpected twist resulted in a Uchiha mini-Orochimaru.

Natsuhane's face showed shock, but his heart was filled with joy. Since he transmigrated here, he never imagined he would have a child with Orochimaru.

"What rank will a child of Orochimaru and me have…" Natsuhane couldn't help but start to anticipate.

"Natsuhane! The child in my belly, is it your doing? I never thought your Mangekyō Sharingan's ability was…!" Orochimaru pointed at Natsuhane's nose in outrage.

Natsuhane didn't deny it. Orochimaru's mind was so meticulous that even if he didn't admit it, it would be hard to deceive him.

Natsuhane sighed helplessly, looking aggrieved, "Don't blame me, I didn't do it on purpose… How was I supposed to know you could be a woman?"

"Hmph!" Orochimaru snorted angrily. Although she wanted to kill Natsuhane right now, she was too weak. The pain in her belly hadn't subsided, and her body was intermittently numb, leaving her powerless.

She patted Kabuto on the shoulder, "Kabuto, help… help me up, we're leaving!"

"Where are you going, Orochimaru? You're carrying my child, I'll take responsibility for it!" Natsuhane quickly interjected.

"Shut up!" Orochimaru snapped, her tone filled with resentment, "Who said I'd keep this child? And even if I did, I'd raise it myself! I don't need you to take responsibility!"

Kabuto: "…"

Natsuhane: "…"

"What are you standing there for? Kabuto, get me out of here! I don't want to see this man anymore!"

"Uh… oh, alright, Orochimaru-sama…" Kabuto helped Orochimaru up, giving Natsuhane a venomous glare before a puff of white smoke appeared, and they vanished.

Natsuhane sighed softly, choosing not to pursue them and turned to leave.

Within the Land of Fire, Kabuto supported Orochimaru as they hurried to the nearest base. After some time, Orochimaru's tightly knit brows gradually relaxed, and the cold sweat on her forehead lessened significantly.

"Kabuto, put me down…" Orochimaru commanded.

Kabuto quickly stopped on a thick tree branch, "Orochimaru-sama, you…?"

Orochimaru moved slightly, mumbling, "My stomach suddenly stopped hurting, and the numbness in my body is also disappearing…"

"Maybe Natsuhane's ability wore off! Orochimaru-sama, don't move, let me check your body again!"

Kabuto gathered chakra in his palm and placed it on Orochimaru's belly. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and shook his head, "Damn it! You're still pregnant… This effect can't be erased…"

"However, I can terminate it painlessly! Orochimaru-sama, once this abomination develops into an embryo, I will handle it! Don't worry, it won't affect your health at all!"

Orochimaru remained silent, gently caressing her belly, lost in thought. After a moment, she spoke softly, "Kabuto, I've decided to keep this child…"

"What?!" Kabuto couldn't believe his ears, "Orochimaru-sama, that's impossible…!"

Before he could finish, Orochimaru's slender hand covered his mouth, silencing him. "Kabuto, there's a secret I've never told you… I've always wanted a child of my own… whether I'm a father or a mother…"

"But with my body modified countless times, it's difficult to fulfill this wish…" Orochimaru's voice was filled with emotion. "I even considered creating an artificial human with my genes. But it seems that idea is unnecessary now."

"Uchiha Natsuhane, he made this possible… but I won't acknowledge him as the father. This child's father is me, and its mother is also me!"

"Kabuto, be careful with your words. This child is not an abomination; it's my child…" Orochimaru's snake-like eyes glinted with a dangerous light, "Even if you're my most trusted subordinate, I won't allow you to insult my child!"

The killing intent in Orochimaru's gaze made Kabuto shiver.

"Understood… Orochimaru-sama…"

"Good…" Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction, her gaze softening as she looked at her belly.

"Kabuto, I've spent my life chasing after the Sharingan, and now my child will be born with Uchiha blood…"

"Hehe, as a parent, I'm truly envious…"
