"What, you said that Team 8 encountered Orochimaru!"
In the Konoha building, the Third Hokage Hiruzen slammed the table and stood up.
The pipe in his mouth also fell on the table due to excessive excitement.
That's right, Hokage-sama, we encountered Orochimaru and his two subordinates on a lone peak in Asakusa Village.
They seemed to have planned it in advance, first using a barrier to separate me and Uchiha Kaoru, and then attacking him. The specific situation is...
Standing in front of the table, Kurenai Yuhi told the whole story.
"It's not difficult to analyze from what you said that Orochimaru's target is Uchiha Kaoru."
After a moment, Hiruzen said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know why he left in the end, such arrogant behavior is really shocking to me. I should have killed him when he escaped from Konoha."
Hiruzen regretted letting Orochimaru go when he had just defected from the village.
"By the way, are the children alright?" Hiruzen then looked up and asked Kurenai Yuhi.
"Apart from Kaoru being stabbed in the abdomen, everyone else is fine." Kurenai Yuhi replied.
"I have to say that it's already good to have such light casualties when encountering Orochimaru. That guy is a complete pervert." Hiruzen frowned and said.
"Hokage-sama..." Kurenai Yuhi hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Don't you think it's strange? Why does Orochimaru know our location, and..."
"I know what you mean, you're saying that we Konoha have Orochimaru's spies planted, right?" Hiruzen said before Kurenai Yuhi finished speaking.
"That's right." Kurenai Yuhi nodded, "If Orochimaru's target is really Kaoru, unless he has been guarding the gate of Konoha Village, it is impossible to know the specific details of our mission this time."
"Mm." Hiruzen's eyes also became extremely solemn. "I will investigate this matter. You go and care about Kaoru's situation first."
"Yes." Kurenai Yuhi nodded and then walked out of the office.
"Let me take care of the investigation of the spies." After Kurenai Yuhi left, Danzō, who had been standing next to the Third Hokage, suddenly said, "I am quite good at this kind of thing. After all, my organization was born for this kind of mission."
"Alright." Hiruzen agreed. Danzō was right. Root was best suited to do shady things in secret, and investigating spies had to be done secretly.
"Then I'll go prepare." After Danzō received Hiruzen's order, a faint, almost imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared in place.
Unfortunately, Hiruzen didn't notice Danzō's expression, otherwise he might have immediately realized that something was wrong.
In Konoha Hospital.
"Alright, no need to feed me, I can do it myself." At this time, Kaoru was lying on the hospital bed, his entire upper body was wrapped in gauze.
Hina, on the other hand, was sitting next to Kaoru, holding a bowl in one hand, the bowl filled with fragrant chicken soup, and her other hand was holding a spoon, feeding it to Kaoru's mouth.
"Please, I only injured my abdomen, not my hands. I can do it myself." Kaoru frowned, shaking his head to avoid the spoon that Hina was handing over.
"Hmph, if it wasn't because you were injured, I wouldn't feed you!"
Hina's face was slightly red, and she said this sentence in a proud tone, but even though she said so, she was still patiently feeding Kaoru.
Kaoru couldn't resist her insistence, so he had to sit obediently and enjoy her service, although he was a little unaccustomed to it.
On a chair opposite the hospital bed, Shin was sitting on it boredly, watching the two people on the bed show their affection speechlessly.
"How are you feeling?" At this time, Kurenai Yuhi pushed the door open. She had a smile on her face and was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"Yo, you two guys, are you quite affectionate, leaving Shin as a light bulb on the side?" As soon as she entered the door, she saw the scene on the bed and immediately teased.
"N-no, it's not." Hina's face became even redder, like a ripe little apple. "It's mainly because Kaoru is injured, and he once saved me. I, I'm just repaying the favor."
"Okay, seeing you stuttering, I understand." Kurenai Yuhi looked at Kaoru and Hina with an ambiguous look.
Kaoru sighed. This teacher wasn't very serious either.
"I feel much better, Kurenai-sensei." Kaoru smiled and replied to Kurenai Yuhi. After the treatment, he did feel a lot more comfortable.
"That's good." Kurenai Yuhi put the flowers on the bedside table. Just as she was about to speak, she heard an urgent voice coming from outside the door.
"Brother, brother!" This voice was like the song of an oriole, very moving and pleasant. Before long, a small figure ran into the room.
"Brother, are you alright?" As soon as she saw Kaoru on the bed, tears immediately flowed out, and she rushed over and hugged Kaoru tightly.
The person who came was Wan'er.
"Alright, alright, I'm fine." Kaoru patted Wan'er's back and said, "Also, don't hug me so tightly, you're touching my wound."
"Oh? I'm sorry, brother." Hearing this, Wan'er quickly released her arms around Kaoru.
"Hmm? Kaoru, who is this little girl, she actually calls you brother and is so close to you?"
Hina's face instantly turned bad when she suddenly saw a beautiful little girl rushing in, especially seeing her so close to Kaoru, she was simply annoyed to the point of explosion.
Hearing Hina's voice, Wan'er also reacted immediately, "Brother, who is this bad-tempered ponytail girl?"
"You actually call me a bad-tempered ponytail girl, you little girl, I'm older than you, you should call me sister!" Hina said, putting her hands on her hips.
"I won't call a bad-tempered sister!" Wan'er also retorted immediately, not losing to Hina in terms of momentum.
"I said..." Kaoru rubbed his aching head and said, "Can you two stop arguing? There's still a patient here."
"Then tell me, who is this little girl?" Hina still wouldn't give up.
"She's my sister." Kaoru shook his head and said, "It's just right for you to get to know each other. My sister, Uchiha Wan'er, my teammate, Hazuki Hina."
"So you're his sister." Hina's angry face immediately smiled. She touched her head with her right hand and said very embarrassedly, "I thought... Well, let's not talk about this."
Kaoru rolled his eyes at Hina. He could tell from her appearance that she had misunderstood.
"Brother, I don't like her!" Wan'er pointed at Hina and said. Hina was very rude to her as soon as she came, which made Wan'er very unhappy.
"Alright, alright." Kaoru waved his hand and said, "Let's all be quiet and let me rest for a while." At this time, he was very depressed. Neither Hina nor Wan'er were easy to deal with.
Seeing Kaoru say this, Wan'er and Hina didn't argue with each other anymore.
Kaoru closed his eyes and recalled the battle with Orochimaru this time, carefully analyzing the process of this battle.
It must be said that fighting with Orochimaru did help him a lot in improving his combat experience.
Ninjutsu, strength, the seven-year-old Kaoru and Orochimaru were completely not on the same level.
If it developed according to the original story, the next time they met would be at the Chunin Exams of Wan'er's generation.
This period of time was enough for him to surpass Orochimaru.
