Outsiders can only see the power of Chiba Shiraishi to instantly annihilate thousands of Sand Ninjas.

But on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, according to statistics, it was Uchiha Ruri who caused the greatest casualties to Sunagakure.

If Matdai of Konoha hadn't used the life-threatening forbidden art Eight Door Dungeon and successfully injured Uchiha Ruri, three thousand Sunagakure and Kazekage Rasa would have been wiped out by Uchiha Ruri alone.

This was no longer an area he could peep into.

That's why he shifted his target to Itachi.

He just didn't expect that a thirteen-year-old kid could possess terrifying strength that made him fearful.

The horror of the Sharingan was far beyond his imagination.

The more this happened, the more Orochimaru felt angry and regretful.

The limit of blood inheritance... Even as a genius, I couldn't help but feel strong jealousy.

Kabuto understood.

It can't deal with Uchiha Ruri, nor can it deal with Uchiha Itachi, and the rest of the Uchiha tribe are all over there in the Kingdom of Demons, and they can't infiltrate either.

Therefore, if you want to study the secret of Sharingan, the only one left is Uchiha Sasuke, the orphan of Konoha Uchiha.

This is Orochimaru's choice.

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru, I will arrange to send Uchiha Sasuke away from Konoha as soon as possible."

Kabuto answered quickly and took the initiative to take on the task.

"No, let Uchiha Sasuke stay here."

The smile on Orochimaru's face was a bit weird.

"Stay here? With all due respect, the education in the Ninja School cannot be compared with Master Orochimaru's elite education. From a growth perspective, I don't think Uchiha Sasuke can get a good education here."

Kabuto looked like he was loyal to Orochimaru.

"Kabuto, you still don't understand the specialness of the Sharingan. Although Konoha cannot cultivate Uchiha Sasuke into a talent, it can allow Sasuke to obtain the so-called bond of the will of fire... Then use power to induce Sasuke, so that

By cutting off these bonds with his own hands, Sasuke can gain immense darkness in an instant, and his Sharingan will be sublimated as a result, and he may even open the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Orochimaru laughed sinisterly, extremely evil.

"Really? Now that Lord Orochimaru has made his choice, I will try my best to pay attention to the growth of Uchiha Sasuke."

Kabuto shrugged his shoulders.

"This is an application of Danzo's method of taming Uchiha Itachi. I'm just borrowing it now. However, I'm very pleased that you can observe the child Uchiha Sasuke on my behalf. I won't argue with you about Oyama Jun's matter.

Well, after all, your talent is above that of Dashan Shun, and it won’t be the same for anyone below you.”

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto with his snake eyes, an appreciative smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto knew that he was safe for the time being and would not be liquidated by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded with satisfaction, formed seals with his hands, and disappeared on the roof of the building in a puff of smoke.

"Just a shadow clone has such a terrifying aura... He is truly worthy of Orochimaru-sama..."

Kabuto sighed and glanced at Uchiha Sasuke, who was still sleeping peacefully in the bedroom of the residential building across the street. His figure flickered and disappeared.

◎

The next morning.

"I didn't expect that not only the Roots, but also the Anbu, now even Orochimaru is involved. The situation is really getting more and more complicated."

In the ward, Masumi Asami, who was recovering from her injuries, was standing by the window in a white coat, looking out at the scenery outside the window.

"It has nothing to do with Orochimaru, it's just that guy Kabuto Yakushi who made his own decision. He seems to be interested in the magic of Mt. Myoboku."

Kakashi stood not far away, leaning against the wall and answered.

"Kabuto Yakushi? The adopted son of Yakushi Nonou?"

Asami Masumi seemed to have remembered something.

"you know?"

Kakashi glanced at Asami Masumi in surprise.

"In the past, in the first medical ninja training class of the Ninja School, one day a transfer student came who was a few years older than us, Yakushi Nonou. Because he joined halfway, I paid a little attention to her. But after a few

Within a few weeks, the other party suddenly left. Later, I kept hearing that she was working in other departments, and she went to become the director of an orphanage... After that, I rarely heard about her."

Asami Masumi thought of these old things.

"She is Danzo's subordinate."

Kakashi replied.

He has read some files in the Roots and knows some of the secrets of the Roots in the past.

Among them was recorded information about 'Yakushi Nonou', but the records were ominous and had obvious traces of graffiti.

At the end of the file, there is also the word "Sacrificial".

It is conceivable that pharmacist Nonoyu has died in the line of duty because of his mission.

There is no detailed record in the file when exactly it happened. There is also no relevant record for what task he died on.

It can be said that he is a quite secretive root member.

"I know that later she did not join the Konoha hospital system. It must have been Danzo's arrangement for her. After all, the underground power of the root organization is very large, and it is difficult to obtain its secrets."

There are many secrets in the roots that outsiders don't know. Even Kakashi doesn't know everything about the roots.

There are only two people who truly know all the secrets of the roots.

One is the founder Danzo.

The other one is Danzo's deputy, Aburame Ryoma.

Neither Danzo nor Aburame Ryoma are easy to mess with.

Needless to say about Danzo, Aburame Ryoma Kakashi has never seen him take action, but he was entrusted with important tasks by Danzo not only because of loyalty issues, but also because of his strength.

If you want to serve as Danzo's deputy, without absolute strength, it will be difficult to gain a foothold at the root.

As for Aburame Ryoma serving as the deputy leader of the root, the other root members have no objections. It is conceivable that Aburame Ryoma's strength and prestige are worthy of recognition.

"So, is it possible for him to recruit him? This kind of lost and struggling lamb is the most suitable person to be on our side."

Asami Masumi said with a smile.

Refers to Yakushi Kabuto.

If the opponent is valued by Orochimaru, there must be no problem with his ability.

It's just that because of the spy mission, he deliberately behaved inconspicuously in Konoha so as not to attract attention.

Kakashi pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and replied: "Not at the moment. Kabuto Yakushi is too afraid of Orochimaru, and if he contacts him rashly now, he might betray him."

Unlike spies like him who deliberately stay away from all forces, the other party is obviously denying himself.

Although it is possible to win over such people, it is not suitable to win over them now because they are unstable.

Instability means that accidents are prone to occur, and accidents may cause mistakes in their work, and they may be targeted by those above.

In Kakashi's opinion, Kabuto Yakushi is such a person at this stage.

Even if it is confirmed that he is someone who can be recruited, it is definitely not now. We still need to wait for a suitable time.

"That's a pity..."

Asami Masumi said regretfully.

Since Kakashi said this, he could only suppress this idea for the time being.

"How's your injury?"

Kakashi asked again, asking about Asami Masumi's injury.

"It's okay. In order to appear more realistic, I will return to normal work in two days."

Asami Masumi's face was calm.

She didn't pay much attention to Dashan Shun's sneak attack at all.

If there are a few more guys of this level, it won't be a problem to deal with them.

If it weren't for the ANBU stationed around, she would have chosen to directly control Dashan Shun last night, interrogate the information personally, and then deal with it secretly.

Now that the hospital has been completely monitored by the Anbu, many of her actions will be restricted, especially the need to hide her true strength.

"Then I'm relieved. No, this should be expected."

Kakashi didn't really believe that Asami Masumi would be seriously injured because of that level of sneak attack.

"So, what is Orochimaru's purpose of sneaking into Konoha this time?"

Asami Masumi asked.
