Because while opening the other party's memories, he naturally also saw information about 'Outpost No. 4', which was nearby, and the more than two hundred experimental subjects imprisoned there were also a considerable force.

It now needs a living organism.

However, just as he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said to himself:

"As far as I know, that woman also had a child who survived."

"Her child is named Yukimaru."

Orochimaru is also looking for him, or he has already obtained him.

"The reason I ordered you to attack that village is because that child possesses a very special ability."

【Control the Three-Tailed Beast, Isobu.】

Of course, Huang didn't explicitly say this to him.

Just added one sentence:

'If that child used that special ability, then he wouldn't be far from death.'

'You should know Orochimaru's methods.'

At the same time, in his final moments before leaving, he also made his own promise.

"If you are willing to work for me, then I will help you find, and even save, this child."

"And here we will set aside a place for you to live in."

"If you have ever wanted to have a true home, rather than being someone's vessel for reincarnation."

Orochimaru seems to have a preference for the underground.

This dark, damp, and cramped space seemed to fit him perfectly.

Outpost No. 4 was no exception; its location was rather haphazard.

According to Honglian's memory, it was located inside a huge mountain whose interior had been hollowed out. The entrance was also very rough, just a deep cave opening that was open to the outside, with not even a single thing to cover it up.

Whether this was due to a certainty that no other strangers would approach the uninhabited area, or to create an environment of seclusion in the city, remains unknown.

Moreover, there is only one person officially guarding this prison: Crystal Release: Crimson Lotus.

The narrow, downward-facing passageway was filled with dust, and many of the torches placed along the rock walls had been extinguished, clearly affected by the dust storm that had just started.

As the last stone step was completed, a stone door that could only allow one person to pass through came into Huang's view. It was also completely unobstructed, just a square door frame that had been carved out.

An endless darkness, seemingly capable of swallowing everything, peeked out from behind the stone door.

Huang stepped in without the slightest hesitation, because he already knew what would happen next from Honglian's memories.

However, even though he already knew some of the details, everything he saw and heard after entering still made him somewhat restless.

It seems inappropriate to describe this place as a stronghold; it is a giant prison, a purgatory that has imprisoned and imprisoned countless experimental subjects!

The dimly lit cubicles rise one after another along the hollowed-out mountainside;

Rows of cold steel formed cages, imprisoning the experimental subjects trapped inside;

A series of inexplicable murmurs, resembling both human voices and animal roars, gathered in this dark environment;

A barrage of gazes, some fierce, some gloomy, some pleading, and some hateful, fell upon the stranger who had suddenly appeared there.

At the base of this mountain is a roughly circular arena, with uncollected bones and bloodstains remaining on it.

Considering the recent suppression, one can somewhat guess what happened before...

Chapter 458 As a reward for your provocation, let me bestow upon you another meaning of existence.

'Clap. '

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huang fell from the spot where he was standing.

A crisp sound accompanied the dust that had not been swept away for a long time, which was then stirred up in all directions on the ground.

This time, all the experimental subjects imprisoned in this base were able to see the sudden arrival of the visitors.

This caused the experimental subjects, who could no longer be classified as normal people, to riot instantly.

In an instant, the hollowed-out mountainside was filled with roars and shrieks, as if boiling water had been poured into it.

Clearly, the previous crackdown had not been able to completely pacify these vicious criminals.

Although the Red Lotus is strong

But for these guys, power doesn't seem to be something that makes them feel afraid or even terrified.

In this endless life of imprisonment, death has long become less terrifying; what is truly terrifying is the endless experiments by Orochimaru that make life worse than death.

The young man standing in this beast-taming arena didn't rush to announce his purpose. Instead, after slowly scanning the area, he marked the auras of those with stronger chakra energy among the two hundred-plus test subjects before coldly rebuking them:

"Shut up, all of you!"

[Secret Technique: The Empty Cicada Technique.]

The cold voice reached the ears of all the experimental subjects imprisoned here, bringing a moment of peace to the chaotic environment.

But the silence lasted only a moment.

The prison was filled with noise again in the next moment.

And most of them are undisguised arrogance and provocation, along with some foul language.

The noisy environment caused Huang, who was used to being quiet, to frown slightly. A crazy thought of turning this area into a dead zone surged in his heart, and his scarlet pupils were filled with bloodlust.

He knew that it was not only his own bloodlust that was roaring, but also the will of the God of Destruction, Asura, that was frantically urging him to act.

After a brief silence, Huang was ultimately unable to suppress the terrifying will that had suddenly surged forth. The black windmill began to turn, and his powerful pupils poured forth.

The boy raised his strange and ominous eyes.

In his field of vision, countless dark cages were all brought into view.

I said,

"Shut up, everyone!!"

The moment the words were spoken, crystal-clear icicles suddenly condensed in all the cages, their sharp tips pressed against the throats, necks, eyes, hearts, temples, and other vital points of the noisy prisoners.

It's not just empty boasting that a young man could turn this place into a death trap with a single thought!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and in addition to the strong earthy smell and gloomy atmosphere, the air was filled with an even more bone-chilling cold.

The world fell silent.

Some of the test subjects were intimidated and threatened.

However, the vast majority of prisoners were quiet not out of fear, but simply because they did not want to die meaninglessly in prison.

Even if you die,

I'd at least have to give that seemingly glamorous but completely out-of-place pretty boy a good beating before I'm satisfied!

'Squeak, squeak,'

The specially made cages groaned in agony under the strong, calloused hands.

Those deep, dark eyes were like those of hungry beasts that had been left unattended for a long time, radiating a bloodthirsty glint.

Huang, naturally disregarding the current mindset of these guys, spoke to himself once the scene had completely quieted down:

"My name is Uchiha Ara."

“I don’t care who you were in the past or what kind of monsters you are now.”

"From this moment forward, you will have only two choices in your lives: either submit to me and become my power, or be trapped here forever and await death."

He stated the purpose of his trip directly.

After all, someone has to do the dirty work, and the Land of Hot Water doesn't have the resources to spare to help the Wind Demon Dragonfly manage the Land of Rice Fields.

The 'resources' here are an unexpected bonus.

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere of the entire environment suddenly became extremely violent, and the faint 'creaking' sound became even clearer.

During this time, no prisoner responded, neither showing compliance nor refusal.

Perhaps because this stronghold had just been suppressed and cleared out, the people who remained there all possessed a certain degree of rationality, so there were no fools trapped in cages who dared to provoke with force.

However, from those fierce eyes flashing with extreme emotions, Huang could read a nearly unified meaning:

Let us out if you dare.

"Ah."

"Have the Uchiha clan also become Orochimaru's lackeys?"

Suddenly, a mocking and hoarse jeer broke the silence.

The person who spoke must have done it intentionally. It's unclear whether they wanted to continue the previous provocation, try to provoke someone, or perhaps try to confirm something.

But regardless of the reason, one conclusion is clear:

That is, neither the former prestigious name of the 'Uchiha' clan nor the ice-style ninjutsu that covered the entire map was enough to subdue these test subjects who had undergone inhumane experiments.

"Orochimaru?"

"You mean that little slithering snake with its tail between its legs, now hiding somewhere?"

Huang instantly locked onto the test subject who made the sound. Even though he was in a dark cage and hiding behind his companions, he could not escape the search of Huang's powerful mental energy.

In an instant, the guy who had just made that boastful remark felt a chilling aura envelop him.

This feeling made his whole being tremble, and he subconsciously wanted to hide behind his companions, wanting to escape this state of being watched by an invisible force.

However, this powerful mental force was like a persistent thorn in his side, gradually oppressing his nerves and will.

"Is someone who hides in a cave all day and dares not show his face worth following?"

"Or are you deliberately provoking my tribe?"

As the boy's voice grew lower and lower, the tsundere who had spoken mockingly suddenly and uncontrollably knelt down on the ground, his arms, which were supporting him on the uneven ground, trembling as if he were enduring an immense force!

He wanted to beg for mercy, he wanted to apologize.

However, it couldn't even make a sound. The terrifying sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe, and its open mouth was used entirely to ensure its own survival.
