Living World — Karakura Town
"Hey, you guys, it's been a month....Are you all really the greatest scientists of the Ninja World?" Itachi, arriving in a futuristic science lab, looked at Tobirama, Amado, and Orochimaru working non-stop with a few of their shadow clones and complained.
"Shut up, do you really think this is child's play? I said it before, even if we work non-stop, it might take years or even forever." Tobirama, hearing the evil Uchiha's voice, lashed out coldly. He had been working like a donkey non-stop for an entire month, and even then this Uchiha wasn't satisfied.
"Hey, Amado, I know this evil Senju is incompetent....what about you? You have experience with this, right?" Itachi ignored Tobirama's anger and asked Amado, his greatest hope.
"Boss, Tobirama is right about this. If it were a physical body, we would have been quicker, but we don't have any experience with spiritual bodies, and we can't even interact with them easily, raising the difficulty. Even in the best-case scenario, it might take decades to complete the task. We are sorry to fail your expectations." Amado didn't answer Itachi immediately, but after a minute of deep thought, he sighed and said.
"It's okay, I do not blame you. You did your best." Itachi, seeing the remorse on Amado's face, comforted him. Tobirama, seeing this, became even angrier, but...what could he do? He is just not that strong....
"Orochimaru, it seems I have to take matters into my own hands. Go invite that brat for tea."
"Yes, Lord Itachi."
With that, Itachi exited the underground laboratory and entered the mansion above, sitting on the balcony overlooking the entire Karakura Town while sipping cola.
It's been a month since his arrival in this world along with Amado, Orochimaru, and the somewhat forced Tobirama. The first thing he did after arriving was capture the biggest and most luxurious mansion in Karakura Town.
As for how he got the property and everything, well, a single Genjutsu can do wonders in a normal world. Even without that, he could just make gold, diamonds, and everything else with just a thought.
So although Tobirama complained about his miserable life, he had twenty personal maids and butlers, including five-star hotel chefs, masseuses, and other king-like amenities as payment for his work.
"Let's see how much time it really takes." Taking a sip, Itachi thought about his future plans.

Karakura South Elementary School
"Karin, are you going for your soccer practice now?" Kurosaki Yuzu, seeing her sister not going home with her, asked curiously.
"Yes, I will be back by seven."
SCREEECHHHH
Just then, a shiny black car stopped in front of the two of them. A young man in his twenties with long hair and excessively pale skin looking out of this era got out of the car and walked toward Karin and Yuzu.
"Are you Miss Kurosaki Karin?" Looking at the eleven-year-old girl with black hair and calm eyes, Orochimaru asked politely.
"Yes, I am. What do you want?" Karin moved in front of the timid Yuzu and replied calmly.
"Good, my boss would like to see you...also, he knows the whereabouts of your brother, who has been missing for the past half month." Orochimaru said while unconsciously licking his lips, making the scene creepy, as Yuzu had tears in her eyes.
"Who is your boss?" Karin held Yuzu's hand as she asked for information about Orochimaru's group.
"You do not have to worry about that...Let's go." Without giving Karin a reply, Orochimaru opened the door for her as he entered the car from the opposite side.
"Yuzu, I will be back before the sun sets." Saying this to Yuzu, Karin tried to enter the car, though Yuzu pulled her back.
Three Minutes Later
"Now that I am in the car, can you say what you want? If you want money, then—"
"We aren't kidnappers. You will know everything in a while." Orochimaru, seeing Karin misunderstand, said while closing his eyes.

Ten Minutes Later
"Are you the gang leader?" Karin, entering the biggest hall of the mansion, asked in confusion. This was the biggest mansion in the entire Karakura Town....Was the boss residing here really a kidnapper?
"Gang leader?" Hearing Karin's question, Itachi looked at Orochimaru in confusion. What misunderstanding had he given this young child?
"Ahem, let me introduce myself. I am Uchiha Itachi, a friend of your late mother, Kurosaki Masaki."
"You know my mother?" Hearing about her mother, Karin became a little less wary as she sat opposite Itachi while the butler served tea and snacks before leaving the room.
"Indeed"
"Then why am I hearing about you only now?"
"Well, we have to start from the beginning. Do you have any superpowers?"
"I can see ghosts?" Karin, hearing about superpowers, answered in confusion.
"Then you have indeed awakened your bloodline. Let me tell you the World's Structure first....There are four factions in this world known as Shinigami, who handle the cycle of life and death; Hollows, who are corrupted souls, or what you call ghosts; Quincy, who are the mortal enemies of both Shinigami and Hollows; and finally Fullbringers, who are humans with superpowers. Can you keep up with this?"
"Hmm, so I am a Fullbringer?"
Though not completely believing Itachi, Karin still asked her question.
"No, you aren't a Fullbringer. You are half Shinigami and half Quincy. The Shinigami side comes from your father, while your mother was a Quincy. I am also a Quincy, like your mother."
"Wait, my parents aren't human?" Karin, hearing this, lost her composure and asked loudly.
"Indeed. So before your parents got married, Masaki once saved your father from a powerful Hollow, but she was bitten by it in the process and became infected. Your father, seeing this, used his Shinigami powers to save her, and later, the two fell in love and got married.
But a few years ago, another Hollow attacked your mother, and due to certain circumstances, she lost her Quincy powers before she died. I originally didn't want to contact you and the others, as I thought it was better to keep these adult matters away from you, but that child Ichigo unknowingly got involved with those Shinigami."
"You mean Ichigo is with the Shinigami?"
"Indeed, but he will be in danger soon, maybe even today....Ichigo awakened his Shinigami powers a month ago with the help of another Shinigami, but it's a taboo in Soul Society, so Soul Society is going to execute her. Now Ichigo and his friends have entered Soul Society to rescue that girl, but...it's suicide with his current strength."
"How...how can I believe what you are saying is the truth and not some fairy tale?" Although Karin said this, her body was already trembling.
"Well, take my hand."
In response, Itachi simply extended his hand as blue vein-like lines appeared across it.
Seeing this, Karin became more convinced as she reached for Itachi's hands. The moment she touched Itachi, her body became full of strength as she felt she could break a wall with a punch.
Well, Itachi had just passed a little Spiritual Energy through her veins, and the next moment, similar blue lines started appearing on her body.
"I....I am convinced." Seeing this, Karin finally lost all doubt and spoke in despair.
