At this time, in a dark room in the Sound Village, Orochimaru was sitting in a chair, looking at the strange containers in the room with a pensive expression.
At this time, a figure walked in. The newcomer had white hair and round-framed glasses. It was Yakushi Kabuto.
"I didn't expect that Lord Orochimaru's plan would be disrupted by a brat. It's a pity." Kabuto said.
"It doesn't matter." Orochimaru shook his head. "Although I didn't kill the Third Hokage, and Konoha Village was only slightly damaged, my main purpose has been achieved. The curse mark has been left on Sasuke's body, and he will be a very good vessel."
Saying this, Orochimaru revealed a smile.
"But, Sasuke is still staying in Konoha Village. If we want to bring him from Konoha Village, I'm afraid we'll have to put in some effort." Kabuto frowned and said.
"We must bring Sasuke over no matter what, but I believe that Uchiha Sasuke, who desires power to kill his brother, will voluntarily submit to me." Orochimaru laughed.
"Then when will we go bring Uchiha Sasuke back?" Kabuto asked again.
"Without further delay, let the new Sound Four be dispatched now to bring Sasuke back!" Orochimaru said coldly.
"Are all four of them going? Isn't that a bit of an overkill? The strength of each person in the Sound Ninja is stronger than Sasuke's." Kabuto asked back.
"It's precisely because they are all stronger than Sasuke that I'm sending them all. I want Sasuke to realize the power of my subordinates. In that case, Sasuke will be more willing to follow me and obediently become my vessel." Orochimaru smiled and said, "I understand the psychology of people who desire revenge better than anyone else."
"As expected of Lord Orochimaru, it seems that you have analyzed Sasuke quite thoroughly." Kabuto also said with a flattering expression.
"What good idea are you scheming again, Orochimaru......."
At this time, an ethereal voice suddenly rang out in Orochimaru's ear.
"Who!" Orochimaru and Kabuto were both shocked. Kabuto immediately condensed a chakra knife in his palm, and Orochimaru was even more exaggerated. He sprang up from his seat with a bang, and directly opened his mouth, spitting out a python towards his side!
However, before the python that Orochimaru spat out could launch any attacks, its head was directly cut off with lightning-like speed!
Next to Orochimaru's seat, Kaoru was holding a kunai, looking at Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto with a calm expression.
The severed snake head rolled on the ground at will, and the kunai in Kaoru's hand was dripping with blood.......
"Long time no see, Orochimaru." Kaoru said, as if he was really greeting an old friend.
"Uchiha Kaoru, how did you get here?!" Kabuto looked at Kaoru warily, cold sweat immediately dripping from his forehead.
You have to know that the location of the Sound Village was very secretive in itself, and, many traps had been set up near the Sound Village by him, such as hidden weapons and poison, it could be said that the Sound Village was completely surrounded.
Kabuto was confident that no one could enter the Sound Village without being discovered, let alone inexplicably appear in this secret room.
After a moment, Orochimaru also recovered from the shock: "So that's how it is, it's because of the Flying Thunder God, right......."
At first, he hadn't even come to his senses, but at this time, Orochimaru suddenly remembered that the Flying Thunder God formula had been applied to his body. In other words, as long as Kaoru sensed this formula, he could appear by his side whenever he wanted.......
"What a troublesome ninjutsu, it seems I have to reincarnate as soon as possible and leave this body, so I won't be afraid of the Flying Thunder God formula. Otherwise, I won't be able to live in peace for the rest of my life......"
Seeing Kaoru, who had suddenly appeared with a playful smile on his face, Orochimaru thought to himself. Having a guy who could suddenly appear by your side at any time and kill you while you're unprepared was terrifying even to Orochimaru.
Keeping his guard against Kaoru in his heart, Orochimaru immediately put on a smile on his face.
"So it's Uchiha Kaoru. I knew you would find me one day, otherwise you would never have let me escape for nothing back in Konoha." Orochimaru looked at Kaoru, and said quite politely.
"That's right, I do need you to help me complete something." Kaoru put away the kunai and laughed.
"As expected, but....." Orochimaru was about to speak, but suddenly reacted: "You, your eyes....."
Looking at Kaoru's scarlet eyes, Orochimaru instantly became hesitant.
"That's right, my eyes have healed." Kaoru still had a smile on his face, and then casually sat on the chair that Orochimaru had been sitting on, as if this was his home.
"Uchiha Kaoru, you......" Seeing Kaoru directly sitting on the seat of his admired Orochimaru, a trace of resentment suddenly rose in Kabuto's heart, and he was about to scold him.
"Kabuto, shut up!" Orochimaru immediately interrupted Kabuto's words. Kaoru's Sharingan's recovery was a very dangerous signal. This also meant that the guy who could instantly kill the First and Second Hokage had returned....... Such a guy was simply not someone he could provoke.
"Then I congratulate you on standing at the peak again." Orochimaru said with a forced smile, "However, if I help you, what can I get in return?"
"What do you want to get?" Kaoru asked, his eyes beginning to look at Orochimaru playfully.
Feeling the unkindness in Kaoru's eyes, Orochimaru shrank back, and then shook his head: "It can be seen that you have many ideas. This is the place where I heal, but it's not a good place to talk about things. Let's go to the hall, where we can sit down and talk carefully. Please come with me." As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru turned around and walked away, his slender figure casting a long shadow in the dark secret room.
Kaoru was silent for a moment, and then followed Orochimaru's steps.
After walking not far, the group came to the entrance of an underground tunnel that looked like a tomb. Orochimaru walked to the door and gently formed a few seals. The stone door on the ground slowly opened, revealing the stairs leading down.
Walking all the way, the stairs were lit by candles all around. There were electric lights in the Naruto world, although they were driven by chakra, but why did Orochimaru use candles or oil lamps in every base? Was it to create a gloomy environment?
"Lord Orochimaru, you're back!" Just after walking out of the stairs, a ninja saw Orochimaru and a look of joy appeared on his face. After seeing Kaoru behind Orochimaru, his eyes became suspicious again.
Orochimaru nodded, his long black hair swaying with the candlelight, "Prepare a room first, we have a special guest visiting today." As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru turned back and said to Kaoru, "This way, please."
"Your subordinates are quite devoted to you. Even if you treat them like tools and discard them at will, they seem to be willing to follow you." Kaoru said, looking at the ninja's reaction.
Hearing Kaoru say this, a trace of pride appeared on Orochimaru's face: "To tell you the truth, I actually understand people's hearts very well. When a person is most helpless, that's when he knows how to be grateful the most. As long as I appear by his side at that time, care for him, and lead him out of his predicament, then he will be forever loyal to me, even if I treat him as a tool, he won't care."
"Is that so? It seems I have to learn more about people's hearts." Kaoru laughed, these words couldn't help but make him think of Kimimaro and Haku.
In this way, talking all the way, Kaoru came to a room under Orochimaru's guidance.
Kaoru slightly looked at the room's furnishings. It was still lit by a few oil lamps. The room was very spacious, but there was only a table, a bookshelf, and a few chairs. On the table were a few huge beakers, filled with an unknown blue liquid.
"Please sit." Orochimaru gestured, and then took the lead to sit down.
Kaoru nodded lightly, and then sat down opposite Orochimaru. This was the first time the two of them had sat down and talked calmly.
"Let's talk about your purpose first." Orochimaru asked.
"You have Hashirama Senju's cells in your hands, right?" Kaoru directly got to the point.
