Under the threat of Kaoru's words, Gaara was only silent.
"Usually, when he hears this kind of threatening words, Gaara would have already started killing, but he is only remaining silent now....."
Temari glanced at Gaara next to her, and cold sweat flowed down: "Could it be that this boy is even a little afraid of Gaara?"
"We are not here to play, let's go." After being silent for a while, Gaara turned around and left.
And Kankurō and Temari also quickly followed.
"That black-haired brat.....although he is young, but with his talent, he should participate in this Chūnin Exam."
Gaara thought to himself, "It seems that I really came to Konoha this time for the right reasons ah......"
After Gaara, Kankurō, and Temari left, Naruto and the others relaxed.
"Brother, why did you appear here, didn't you go to submit the mission report?" Wan'er asked excitedly.
"I have already submitted it." Kaoru used his hand to scratch Wan'er's nose and said, "Now I have come here specifically to find you and also Hinata and Kiba, I have something to announce!"
"Is that so? What is it?" Wan'er had an expectant face.
"Let's find them first." Kaoru revealed a mysterious smile.
On a precipitous slope in Yugakure Village in the Land of Hot Waters, there were three people quietly standing here.
The one in the lead was pillar a cane, his right face was covered by bandages, and behind him were two guys wearing masks.
It was Danzō and his two Root organization members.
After a while, one more person appeared on this slope.
"Orochimaru, you've made me wait a little too long ah......" Danzō glanced at Orochimaru, and said coldly.
The one who had just arrived was Orochimaru, he revealed an apologetic smile, and then said: "Because I had to prepare for the next plan, I came a little late."
"Why did you choose to meet me in this barren land of the Land of Hot Water, I had to walk for quite a while for this." Danzō asked with doubt.
"Because the Land of Hot Water is a small country, far away from my Hidden Sound Village, our meeting will not attract the attention of other people in Konoha." Orochimaru laughed.
The reason why Orochimaru chose to meet in the Land of Hot Water was only because the Land of Hot Water was located in the middle of the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, making it convenient for him to return from the Hidden Sand Village.
If he arranged to meet in other places, Orochimaru would not be able to arrive for a while.
"Hmph." Danzō was noncommittal to Orochimaru's answer, he snorted coldly, and then said: "Orochimaru, it seems that I overestimated you, that Uchiha brat returned to Konoha Village alive, you didn't even kill him!"
Speaking of Kaoru Uchiha, Orochimaru's face, which was full of smiles, immediately turned serious.
"I take back what I said before, that brat's strength is still above me, I really can't kill him!"
Orochimaru said fiercely, after fighting with Kaoru, Orochimaru understood very well that, like Itachi, wanting to seize Kaoru's body, I'm afraid it could only become an unattainable dream......
Shaking off the annoying thoughts, Orochimaru continued: "It is precisely because of that brat's existence that I came to find you, to see if there are other ways to kill him, or to prevent him from protecting the Third Hokage when I kill the Third Hokage!"
There was no way, the strength displayed by Kaoru was really too great, if Kaoru appeared when he was facing the Third Hokage, then the situation would definitely be reversed in an instant!
"Even you, one of the Sannin, lost to him......" Danzō smiled bitterly, but his face did not show any depression.
"Actually, there's no need to care about that brat anymore." Danzō suddenly said.
"Oh? Why?" Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.
"According to the information I obtained, that brat can't see with one eye anymore, he can't use the ability of the Sharingan at all," Danzō's mouth revealed a smile: "Your efforts were not in vain, at least his strength was forcibly reduced by you by a large margin."
"Kaoru Uchiha can't see with one eye? That's really good news......" Orochimaru said with a surprised sigh, when he was fighting with Kaoru before, Kaoru had been unwilling to open the Sharingan, and now it seemed that the burden on the Sharingan had indeed reached its limit.
Orochimaru knew very well that those terrifying moves that Kaoru used when facing the First Hokage and Second Hokage were all used after Kaoru opened the Sharingan, especially that move Ice Release, even now, after a few days, the ice had not completely melted, and the bodies of the First Hokage and Second Hokage were still frozen inside.
Therefore, Kaoru not being able to use the ability of the Sharingan was definitely great news for Orochimaru.
"Well, Kaoru Uchiha can't use the Sharingan, and in addition, he took the initiative to leave the Anbu and become a Jōnin in charge, he won't be accompanying Sarutobi to protect him during the Chūnin Exam, therefore, that brat is no longer a concern." Danzō concluded.
"That's the best." Orochimaru nodded, and then smiled slightly: "Then what you promised me, Danzō-sama......"
"Well, I will arrange it, and let your people act as Anbu and sneak into Sarutobi's side." Danzō nodded and said, "But, you must not let me down, Orochimaru....."
"Of course not, I will complete this matter very well." Orochimaru licked his lips with his tongue.
"Very good, then I look forward to your good news." Danzō nodded, and then left here with two subordinates.
"I didn't expect Kaoru Uchiha to actually go blind, it's a bit of a pity for his genius......" After Danzō left, Orochimaru revealed a meaningful smile.
"In this way, even if Orochimaru-sama obtains Kaoru's body, it will be useless." At this time, a voice came from behind Orochimaru.
A figure jumped down from a big tree behind, and it was precisely Kabuto Yakushi.
"That's right." Orochimaru nodded, not at all surprised by Kabuto's appearance. "As for Kaoru, although I want to snatch him and can't, I just feel a little pity."
"Then allow me to scout out candidates for Orochimaru-sama's new reincarnation vessel." Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said, "In Konoha Village, those who possess the Sharingan, aside from Kaoru Uchiha, there's also his younger sister Wan'er Uchiha, and Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha."
"I know about that. I originally wanted to have the Sound Ninja go and capture those two children as well, but I never imagined that they would fail." Orochimaru coldly snorted. "When it comes to choosing a reincarnation vessel, you only need to do the initial scouting. As for the choosing itself, I will personally handle it..."
"I see. So it seems Orochimaru-sama is entering the Chūnin Exams disguised as a Chūnin examinee with another purpose in mind..." Kabuto revealed a smile. "As expected of Orochimaru-sama, you've thought everything through so thoroughly."
"Alright, no need for the flattery. Let's go back. We need to properly prepare for this good show." Orochimaru said darkly.
