"You bastard! How dare you flirt with me!" Mitarashi Anko, always a hothead, retorted.
But seeing Kai's playful smile, she eventually deflated.
After witnessing the lightning-clad figure, she knew the young man wasn't simple.
At least a little stronger than her!
Yes!
Just a little!
Mitarashi Anko clenched her fists, comforting herself. "If we leave now, we'll become missing-nin. Are you sure you don't regret this?"
"Regret what?" Kai grabbed Mitarashi Anko's slender hand and quickly walked away.
"Hurry up. I'm from the Uchiha clan. We're best at genjutsu. They'll wake up soon and forget what happened. So, finish your business quickly. You'll still be a Konoha ninja when you get back."
Mitarashi Anko had been about to pull away, but she paused at his words.
She was chasing Orochimaru, but that didn't mean she would leave with him.
She had acted on impulse. Now, calmer, she understood the consequences of her actions were more than she could bear.
As they left, after seven or eight seconds, Sarutobi Sarutobi and the Anbu ninja unconsciously stirred.
This was advanced genjutsu, inducing sleepwalking-like subconscious activity.
Kai had arrived before Mitarashi Anko appeared.
He had intended to use genjutsu to render the guards unconscious, but Mitarashi Anko had arrived at that very moment.
If she hadn't claimed to be able to track Orochimaru, Kai wouldn't have interfered. Even if she was a well-developed young girl.
"Alright, your Cursed Seal should let you sense Orochimaru's presence, right? Now's your chance," Kai said suddenly.
Mitarashi Anko's expression changed, her steps halting. She looked at Kai with disbelief.
In Mitarashi Anko's eyes, the moment she became Orochimaru's disciple, she became a test subject.
When Orochimaru escaped, Mitarashi Anko had tried to stop him.
The result was the implantation of an immature Cursed Seal.
"I know a lot of things, but I'm not good at explanations," Kai said with a smile.
You!
Mitarashi Anko was furious, but before she could react, a sharp pain in her neck made her face pale. She instinctively touched her Cursed Seal.
"Are you sensing Orochimaru's presence?" Kai raised an eyebrow.
"Take your hand away. I know a little sealing technique that can temporarily suppress the pain."
"You can suppress Orochimaru's Cursed Seal? Are you joking?" Mitarashi Anko gritted her teeth.
Kai rolled his eyes. "Believe it or not, that's your problem. You wouldn't want to be in so much pain when you see Orochimaru that you can't even speak, would you?"
This incomplete Cursed Seal was deliberately placed on Mitarashi Anko by Orochimaru.
As Orochimaru's disciple, she had been to many places with him, as a cover.
Although Orochimaru sealed her memories, he also implanted a sensory seal that prevented her from getting close to him.
The closer she got to Orochimaru, the greater the pain.
With Mitarashi Anko's current strength, she would likely faint from the pain the moment she saw Orochimaru.
Looking at Kai's smiling face, Mitarashi Anko felt the pain in her neck. She knew his words were true.
However, she wasn't entirely convinced that Kai could suppress Orochimaru's Cursed Seal.
This was the teacher she respected, one of the legendary Sannin.
But as this thought arose, Kai moved.
His right index and middle fingers, wreathed in black flames, touched her neck before she could react.
"Enhanced: Evil Sealing Method!"
In the original story, Kakashi needed a formation to use the Sealing Evil Sealing Method to temporarily seal the Cursed Seal on Sasuke.
But for Kai, with Uchiha Madara's Amplification Eye, it was a piece of cake.
Mitarashi Anko's expression changed dramatically at Kai's sudden action.
But as she tried to move, she felt the pain in her neck rapidly subside.
It worked?
Mitarashi Anko was stunned. She never expected the young man to easily use a sealing technique to seal Orochimaru's Cursed Seal.
"Alright, the pain is gone. It should be easier to sense Orochimaru's location now," Kai reached out again to ruffle Mitarashi Anko's head.
"This time, you believe me, right? I'm a very powerful ninja."
Hmph!
Mitarashi Anko snorted coldly, but this time she accepted Kai's touch.
After a second's pause, she turned her head towards a forest basin in the distance.
"Orochimaru's over there. I can feel it strongly. He's not far."
Leaving these words, Mitarashi Anko dashed off.
Seeing this, Kai felt helpless.
He suddenly remembered that Mitarashi Anko's personality was very similar to Naruto Uzumaki in the original story.
Two or three kilometers away, in a basin, five figures stood silently.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you sure that hateful brat will appear here?" Yamanaka Fū's face was grim.
The sight of his long-time partner, Aburame Torune, being easily crushed into paste was still vivid in his mind. He wanted nothing more than to devour Kai alive.
"Rest assured. With that kid's methods, I believe he'll come. But did you do what I asked?" Orochimaru smiled softly, his crimson tongue licking his dry lips.
"Lord Orochimaru, don't worry. Before you went to the Senju clan's residence, I obtained it," Yamanaka Fū's face showed a hint of confusion. He took out a wooden box and handed it over.
"Can we really defeat Uchiha Kai with this? According to Danzō, that kid's strength has probably reached Kage-level."
Before the failed combined attack at the Hokage Mansion, Yamanaka Fū had fantasized about using other methods to defeat Kai.
Or, relying on numbers.
If one person wasn't enough, then ten. If ten weren't enough, then twenty.
This was precisely the reason for their later failure, resulting in Aburame Torune's death at Kai's hands.
