In Konoha village, Kaoru was still by Wan'er's side, taking care of her, after all, Wan'er had just had her right eye transplanted.
At this time, they were staying in Tsunade's office, and Tsunade had been sighing since just now.
"I really didn't expect that the Uchiha clan would have such a cruel transplantation method. I have to say, this clan is really......"
Kaoru smiled and ignored Tsunade's words, looking at Wan'er, who had fallen asleep soundly on his shoulder.
"Seriously, I didn't expect her to be able to fall asleep like this....." Kaoru sighed and picked Wan'er up in one fell swoop.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama, I'll take Wan'er back first," Kaoru said to Tsunade.
"Hmm, let her rest well. After all, she just had a surgery," Tsunade nodded and said.
"Bang!" At this time, the door of the Hokage's office was suddenly opened from the outside!
"Tsunade-baachan!" Naruto shouted as he rushed in.
"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama. I really couldn't stop Naruto....." At this time, Shizune also walked in and said apologetically.
Just now, Naruto suddenly rushed into the Hokage Building with a nervous expression and said that he wanted to see Tsunade no matter what, and Shizune couldn't stop him.
"Hey, Naruto, calm down. Have you forgotten the rules of a ninja!" Tsunade shouted angrily at Naruto.
Wan'er, who had already fallen asleep, moved slightly, seeming to have been awakened by Naruto and Tsunade.
However, Kaoru was also very strange as to why Naruto was so excited.
"Tsunade-baachan, let's go find Sasuke's whereabouts right now!" Naruto said excitedly.
"Find Sasuke? Haven't we been looking all along? Sasuke has defected to Orochimaru, and now Orochimaru's hiding place is very secretive. It will probably take us some time to find him and Sasuke," Tsunade replied.
"No, I think we should set off right now!" Naruto said excitedly, "I don't know why, but I have a premonition. I always feel that something bad has happened to Sasuke!"
"Naruto, that's just psychological," Tsunade comforted, "Maybe you're just very worried about him because you haven't seen Sasuke for too long."
"Something bad?" Hearing Naruto say this, Kaoru frowned.
In the original story, there was a subtle connection between Naruto and Sasuke, perhaps because they were reincarnations of the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths, which was why they had this connection.
But now Naruto was so excited about Sasuke, what exactly was the reason......
"No, Tsunade-sama, this isn't psychological. I can really feel that Sasuke is in danger!" Naruto continued to argue loudly, his face flushed red.
"Danger? What danger could Sasuke be in now?" Kaoru, who was next to him, carefully recalled Sasuke's situation at this time in the original story. Right now, it should be the time when Sasuke was about to become estranged from Orochimaru.
"At this time, Sasuke should have devoured Orochimaru and then formed the Hebi team......" Thinking of this, Kaoru suddenly reacted: "Could it be that Orochimaru's plan to snatch the body succeeded?"
"That's actually quite possible ah......." Recalling the experiments that Orochimaru had done on the Sharingan over the years, a smile appeared on the corner of Kaoru's mouth.
It seemed that no matter what, he had to confirm it......
No longer paying attention to Naruto and Tsunade's argument, Kaoru directly left the Hokage's office with Wan'er in his arms and headed towards his home.
Arriving home, Kaoru first put Wan'er on the bed and covered her with a blanket, and then carefully pondered on the sofa in the living room.
Naruto's worries, Kaoru thought carefully, it was necessary for him to confirm this problem.
For him, the most important task now was to go to Otogakure village in the Land of Rice Fields, Orochimaru's base, to confirm whether the current Sasuke was still Sasuke.
Early the next morning, Kaoru left a shadow clone to take care of Wan'er, and he himself left Konoha village and headed towards Otogakure village in the Land of Rice Fields!
As soon as he entered the Land of Rice Fields, Kaoru sensed the Flying Thunder God Technique formula that he had applied on Orochimaru before. Without any hesitation, Kaoru directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique, left his original location, and arrived next to the formula.
"Hmm, where is this......"
After using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kaoru arrived in a dark place. After his eyes had adapted to the darkness in the room, Kaoru was finally able to see where he was now.
This should be one of Orochimaru's laboratories. Kaoru's shelves were full of bottles and jars, and most of these bottles were filled with biological specimens.
And next to Kaoru, there was a corpse lying there, the body of which was still covered with a blue cloth.
Kaoru frowned and reached out to uncover the blue cloth.
As Kaoru had thought, this body was indeed one of Orochimaru's previous reincarnations: Genyūmaru.
Because Kaoru had applied the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on Orochimaru's reincarnated body, that was why he had appeared next to Genyūmaru.
"Orochimaru has already abandoned Genyūmaru's body and even specially put him in the laboratory. Looking at it this way....... Sasuke is really in danger." Kaoru curled his lips and then walked out of the laboratory.
However, Kaoru didn't believe that Sasuke had died at Orochimaru's hands just like that. Sasuke was a member of the Uchiha clan, and one of the protagonists of the original story. More importantly, he was the reincarnation of Indra, the son of the Sage of Six Paths. It was probably not that easy for him to die.
Walking out of the laboratory, the first person Kaoru met was Kabuto. At this time, Kabuto was walking out of a room with a smile on his face, and bumped into Kaoru head-on.
"Who?!" Seeing Kaoru's appearance, Kabuto reacted instantly, and then struck a pose ready to fight. However, when he saw who it was, he immediately restrained himself, and the smile returned to his face.
"So it's Kaoru-sama. I wonder what you're doing here......."
"Take me to see Orochimaru." Without wasting words with Kabuto, Kaoru directly interrupted him and said.
"Of course, of course......." Kabuto nodded repeatedly, and then the smile on his face deepened: "However, Kaoru-sama, I estimate that you won't recognize Orochimaru-sama at all when you see him......"
"Hmph, lead the way," Kaoru said noncommittally.
"Yes," Kabuto nodded, and then turned around and walked forward.
Following Kabuto into a magnificent hall, Kaoru finally saw Orochimaru's current appearance.
