Orochimaru smirked slyly as he gazed at the purple egg in front of him with an expression full of interest.
Viona nodded. "Understood, Master. I will take care of this egg as best as I can."
"Good," Orochimaru said, glancing briefly at Obito. "Then we will take our leave. Obito, see you later."
Without waiting for a response, Orochimaru and Kabuto left the room, their shadows disappearing into the dark corridor.
Obito watched their departure with a sour expression. "Tch! Damn Orochimaru..." Obito muttered before turning back to Viona. "Hey! Follow me," Obito said, striding forward roughly, his voice tinged with a hint of suppressed annoyance.
"Understood, Master," Viona replied obediently, following Obito as he stepped out of the room, while Viona calmly carried the purple egg in her hands.

Just after the Akatsuki group left the headquarters of the Lost Sovereignty Organization, a group of soldiers arrived at the location. They wore pitch-black uniforms from head to toe, making their presence seem like shadows born from darkness.
In front, a woman stood calmly. Her short, pure white hair shimmered, contrasting with her sharp dark blue eyes. Her beautiful face appeared strong, adorned with a scar that stretched across her cheek, adding an aura of toughness without diminishing her charm.
"Lady Ameliana!" A soldier immediately approached, saluting with a firm stance.
"What is it?" Ameliana asked without diverting her gaze from her surroundings, her voice calm yet authoritative.
"We found traces of several people in this corridor!" the soldier reported in a firm tone.
"Take me there." Ameliana nodded once.
"Understood!" The soldier quickly turned, guiding Ameliana to a long corridor that smelled of dust and old iron. In that place, the Akatsuki members had previously gathered, leaving faint traces of footprints on the floor.
Ameliana squinted, carefully observing the traces, each step bringing her closer to understanding those who had left.
"These tracks... where do they lead?" Ameliana asked, her tone low but full of emphasis.
The soldier looked hesitant, as if confused by what had been found. "These tracks lead to the exit of this corridor, Lady. However... they split into several different directions, as if deliberately made to obscure the true path."
Ameliana raised an eyebrow in annoyance, her eyes blazing with repressed frustration. "Then why are you still standing here? Follow all the tracks until you find the truth!"
"Understood, Lady!" the soldier replied respectfully, quickly rushing to carry out the order.
Ameliana remained standing in that spot, her gaze observing the faint traces. In her mind, she already had an inkling of who might be behind this cunning tactic, but Ameliana still needed to seek confirmation. A cold smile appeared on Ameliana's wounded face, full of determination and burning anger.

After leaving Obito's location, Orochimaru and Kabuto quickly made their way to the secret path that connected them to the Black Market.
This path was the same one that Orochimaru and Kabuto had taken before, filled with secrets and mysteries, a dim corridor with a metallic scent that pierced the nose. However, the two walked without hesitation. Orochimaru was confident that as long as they had identification cards, the Black Market would allow them to pass through this route safely.
"Stop!" A fierce-looking guard with a muscular build stood before them, halting Orochimaru and Kabuto as they arrived at the entrance, which resembled a cave. The man's gaze was cold, as if capable of piercing into the depths of a person.
Without resistance, Orochimaru and Kabuto stopped. Although confidence filled their every step, they were not foolish enough to cause trouble in this dangerous territory.
