Orochimaru reached into his pocket, pulling out a worn identification card filled with authentic identification marks. "Here," Orochimaru said calmly as he handed over the card, followed by Kabuto.
The burly man examined the card carefully, furrowing his brow for a moment as if searching for any gaps or irregularities. However, after being satisfied with the inspection, the man nodded and returned the card. "You may enter."
The two of them continued on their way without wasting any time. The secret path led them to underground corridors, where the dark shadows of the city structures above seemed to silently witness every step taken.
Before long, they finally reached the Dark Market, an area bustling with the commotion of people from all walks of life. Intriguing spies with hidden intentions moved among them, but Orochimaru and Kabuto did not stop. They headed towards the exit of the Dark Market, trying to avoid the gaze of anyone who might be watching.
Upon reaching outside, Orochimaru and Kabuto exchanged a brief glance, and within seconds, the two vanished as if swallowed by the air.
In an alley not far from where they had just stood, several mysterious figures—who had been watching Orochimaru and Kabuto—were startled to realize that their targets had simply disappeared.
The wary faces quickly scattered, scanning the surroundings diligently, but to no avail. After a few minutes, the pursuers gave up and returned to the Dark Market without any further leads.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Kabuto had separated. Orochimaru moved alone towards the slums at the edge of the city. There, the stench and the noise of people filled the air, yet Orochimaru continued to walk calmly. After ensuring that no one was following him, Orochimaru paused for a moment, squinting as he thought deeply.
"Is the Dark Market starting to take notice of us?" Orochimaru murmured in a low tone. His gaze sharpened, filled with calculation, as if preparing a new plan to address this unseen threat.
Orochimaru smirked slightly as he muttered, "It doesn't matter, as long as they don't openly declare opposition against us, I should be fine." Orochimaru's expression was flat, yet his eyes were sharp and calculating.
After confirming the situation was safe, Orochimaru began to use a transformation jutsu. In an instant, an ordinary-looking man appeared, seemingly unremarkable amidst the crowd.
Yes, he now took the form of Iruka Umino, a man who would not attract attention in the hustle and bustle of city life. Iruka stepped away from the slums, his body slipping between the shadows of the night, leaving the gloomy alleys without a trace.
Once Iruka was far enough away, he sought a hidden corner and transformed again. Iruka's face now changed to Haruto. Haruto walked steadily towards the academy building, which appeared calm in the darkness of the night.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Haruto felt a sense of relief. He quickly headed to his room, cleaning himself of the travel dust, and prepared for a quiet night. After changing clothes and feeling refreshed, Haruto went to the cafeteria, ready to enjoy a simple dinner, while his mind spun with thoughts about the next steps in his long-term plan.

In a large room with dim lighting, a tall, muscular man sat in an ornate wooden chair, surrounded by sturdy stone walls.
With jet-black hair cut short and sharp dark eyes, Aberto Robert—a familiar figure in Fortress City 085—exuded authority and danger. Aberto wore a black tuxedo that clung to his muscular frame, contrasting with the darkness of the room.
Aberto was one of the members of the Ten Government Council of Fortress City 085, but Aberto's status was far more complex than that.
