Kabuto sighed, "You are as unfathomable as ever. These monster-like members of the Akatsuki organization are like toys in your hands."
"It seems that you are waiting for me here on purpose." Fujiwara Kirito looked at Kabuto calmly.
"I have been looking for you all this time." Kabuto nodded heavily, took out a scroll from his arms, and handed it to Fujiwara Kirito respectfully. "Now that Lord Orochimaru is dead, you are the only person in the world who deserves my respect and can make me feel that I still have a sense of existence. In return, I have done what you entrusted me with last time."
"It seems that you really spent a lot of thought on it." Looking at the probability of practicing the Dust Release on the scroll, Fujiwara Kirito knew that if nothing unexpected happened, those powerful ninjas had already begun to be resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.
Then he seemed to think of something, put away the scroll, and said with a smile, "Kabuto, you must be very confused now, right? You feel that you have lost everything. For you who have been a spy in different countries since childhood and have no home, you feel that you have lost your life goals and identity again."
"So, now you want to surpass your own power. You want to learn from Orochimaru, transplant Orochimaru's white phosphorus cells, get his power, and surpass him, so as to prove yourself and find your true identity."
"Yes, Lord Kirito." Kabuto did not deny it.
"Do you know why?" Fujiwara Kirito began to persuade like a pyramid scheme master.
Kabuto's mind emerged with all kinds of past events, and then he heard Fujiwara Kirito say, "That's because there is a hole here."
"Hole?" Kabuto was startled, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw Fujiwara Kirito pointing to his heart.
Suddenly, the figure of Mother Nono Yakushi appeared in Kabuto's mind, and he felt a pain in his heart. He quickly covered it with his right hand and asked with a trembling voice, "Then what should I do?"
"Of course fill it up. Go meet the person who opened a hole in your heart," Fujiwara Kirito said indifferently.
"I can't do it." Kabuto's pupils were dilated, and he avoided Fujiwara Kirito's gaze. He didn't want to use the Impure World Reincarnation to desecrate his adoptive mother's soul.
Moreover, because of Danzo's obstruction, even if he succeeded in the reincarnation, his adoptive mother would no longer recognize him, which made him even more unwilling.
"I have a good idea." Fujiwara Kirito showed a mysterious smile on his face.
Kabuto thought of the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki who had resurrected from the dead in Takigakure, and soon understood what Fujiwara Kirito meant, and hurriedly asked, "What do you want?"
He knew that Fujiwara Kirito was never someone who did business at a loss.
Fujiwara Kirito threw a kunai at Kabuto. "Keep this first. I'll tell you later. For now, just prepare for that person's Impure World Reincarnation. After all, without a complete corpse, I can't revive someone who has been dead for a long time out of thin air."
Kabuto glanced at the Flying Thunder God formula on the kunai in his hand and understood. "I know. Then I will take my leave for the time being."
As he spoke, Kabuto disappeared into the jungle.
At this time, Obito and Deidara, who had finished playing around, came over, and the four of them officially set out on the road to find the Sasuke.
Sasuke, who had just purchased the necessary items for battle, led his Snake Team to start the journey to officially find Uchiha Itachi and Fujiwara Kirito.
"Jūgo, Suigetsu, and Sandou, everything is ready. From now on, we will officially start the pursuit of Uchiha Itachi and Fujiwara Kirito. For efficiency, everyone will disperse to find the Akatsuki organization's base, and gather at the hilltop at five o'clock before dark."
The Sasuke looked at the three members of the Snake Team in front of him.
Sandou was the first ninja to join after Suigetsu and Jūgo.
He looked like a sturdy man.
Although he didn't have much combat power,
he was an indispensable role in the Snake Team.
He was hired by Sasuke at a high price.
Unlike the original story, because Karin was kidnapped by Fujiwara Kirito to become Tsunade's apprentice, the Snake Squad lacked ninjas with perception and medical ninjutsu.
Sasuke searched for a long time before he found Sandou.
"Ah, ah, ah. Is it finally going to start?" The beheading sword clanged and stuck in the ground. Suigetsu leaned on the hilt, looked at Sasuke with interest, and murmured, "But is it really okay? That Uchiha Itachi is fine, after all, he has an irreconcilable hatred with you. But that Fujiwara Kirito is not someone to mess with."
"Although I've never seen him, his name has spread across the five great nations in recent years. The Illusion God, the Genocide Kirito, the Bane of Konoha. Even Orochimaru turned pale just mentioning him."
Suigetsu spread his hands and sighed helplessly, "To be honest, I don't think we're his match. And it doesn't seem like there's any real grudge between you and him."
"No, on the contrary." Sasuke clenched his fists. Thanks to Kirito, he had lived a life worse than death during those ten days.
"Then you should explain that." Suigetsu looked calm. If not for the beheading sword in his hand, he would've run off long ago.
Then he turned to Jūgo and Sandou. "Hey, you two, why don't you try to persuade him? He's going after Fujiwara Kirito. Fujiwara Kirito."
"Kimimaro's will is my will." Jūgo fiddled with the bird in his hand. He was fearless out of ignorance.
Sandou was like Kakuzu, a money lover. Although he didn't want to face Akatsuki, he couldn't resist the price Sasuke offered.
"I really can't stand you guys."
At that moment, Suigetsu was in a dilemma. He had already planned to wait for Sasuke to kill Uchiha Itachi, take Samehada from Kisame, and run.
He had no intention of facing an opponent even Orochimaru hadn't dared challenge in his prime—especially without any benefit.
At the same time, Konoha's Kakashi team, composed of Team 7 and Team 8, also began to pursue Uchiha Itachi to capture him alive.
They wanted to use this as bait to lure Sasuke.
The eight-man team was split into six groups.
Kakashi summoned the Eight Ninja Dogs and divided them into five pursuit units.
Kakashi went with Pakkun.
Hinata took two ninja dogs.
Shino took two ninja dogs.
Inuzuka Kiba had his own dog.
Naruto, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, stayed with Karin and Yamato, who could suppress tailed beasts. Because Karin had strong sensory ability, she was only assigned one ninja dog.
Chinatsu was also assigned two ninja dogs.
But she wasn't in a hurry to find Sasuke and Itachi. More than locating the brothers, she had come out this time to find Fujiwara Kirito.
After all, her mother had scared her father so badly he hadn't dared return home for months.
