Not only Kakashi was speechless for a moment, but the three people hiding in the woods were also a little shocked.
How could it be this person?!
Everyone's thoughts came together at the same time.
Yakushi Kabuto really had the role of a double agent. He had previously tricked Konoha and Orochimaru for information. Now it seems that he also has some connection with the Akatsuki organization.
"Why is it Kabuto again? Didn't he used to be a spy for Konoha?".
Naruto muttered a little unhappily.
"Being a spy everywhere, it always feels like you can't believe anything that person says...".
Sakura also hesitated and said softly.
Sai's eyes were not on the Heaven and Earth Bridge, but on the woods in the distance.
The way the leaves were shaking over there looked very strange, as if someone was there.
But because it was too far away, it was hard to tell whether someone was there or just a strong wind.
Sai secretly opened the scroll and released the two mice inside.
The black rodents scurried out from his feet, heading straight for the noisy woods.
Sakura and Naruto's attention were focused on the Heaven and Earth Bridge, so they didn't pay much attention to what Sai was doing.
Although Kakashi was shocked by the identity of this mole, he didn't have much time to be shocked or hesitate.
He was already in danger of being exposed, and now he should quickly fill the gaps in the problem.
"I was just held up by some unimportant things. Do you need to care about this kind of thing?".
"Hurry up and take me to...".
Before Kakashi could finish his sentence, he heard a huge, earth-shattering explosion in the woods in the distance.
"Boom——!".
Along with this loud noise, there was also a gust of wind that directly shook out. The white tassels hanging from the hat were constantly blown up and down.
The leaves of the entire forest rustled, and the ground trembled constantly.
Even the Heaven and Earth Bridge connecting the two sides shook slightly.
Yakushi Kabuto almost immediately realized something was wrong and turned his head sharply to look at the woods behind him. This kind of sound was not a good sign.
And that location...
"Orochimaru-sama...!".
This time, he didn't want to be Sasori's eyes and ears. Instead, he planned to join forces with Orochimaru to kill Sasori.
Sasori's techniques are useful for ordinary people, but how could Orochimaru let someone so close to him be a mole?
So, of course, Orochimaru lifted his control over Yakushi Kabuto not long after he was controlled.
And this time Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto's plan was.
Kabuto would first come up to face Sasori, preferably to gain his trust and then stab him in the back or something.
Then Orochimaru would take action, and the two would cooperate to send Sasori away if possible.
Orochimaru was tired of being chased. The Akatsuki organization was impossible to get rid of, and impossible to escape.
Those people were always haunting him. As soon as Orochimaru revealed a little bit of information, they would rush over to track him down and assassinate him.
If he could kill Sasori, the Akatsuki organization's pursuers might stop for a while.
"Tch.".
"Are there other people lying in wait?".
Yakushi Kabuto couldn't figure out the situation at all. In theory, only he and Sasori should know about their meeting.
Although he knew that the Akatsuki organization always acted in pairs, Sasori's partner shouldn't care about anything at all.
Yakushi Kabuto paused slightly, then threw a smoke bomb and ran towards the location of the explosion while taking advantage of the smoke.
Yakushi Kabuto's mind raced. Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it, Sasori's performance just now was different from what he remembered.
But he couldn't say exactly what the problem was.
It was just the difference between his memory and reality.
The reason he was running wasn't because he felt there was a problem, but if something happened to Orochimaru, he would definitely die if he faced Sasori.
He had to protect Orochimaru and see what was going on over there.
Of course, if the battle situation was too unfavorable, running away wasn't out of the question.
After all, although Orochimaru's abilities and forbidden techniques were good, he was really good at reviving and escaping.
He just needed to protect himself.
"Something happened...?".
Kakashi hesitated slightly, then took a step back before the smoke spread to his side.
He changed back to his original appearance.
Then he made a gesture to the woods behind him.
After receiving the signal, Naruto and Sakura jumped over directly. Sai hesitated slightly and followed. The two ink mice that were released didn't return....
Instead, they were crushed into a pile of ink in the woods.
Although it wasn't too surprising, it was enough to show that the two people fighting in the distant woods were not simple characters.
His mice were only used for spying, but they were also completely destroyed.
"Follow them.".
Kakashi didn't waste too much time. After the three arrived at his side, he issued orders concisely.
What's going on? Besides us, who else knows about this?
They felt that the current situation was inexplicable and had a bad feeling at the same time.
Because they didn't know what was happening over there, it was better to go and see what was going on.
With such a big commotion, it was hard to say whether it had anything to do with Orochimaru.
"Sizzle——".
However, just as the four were preparing to cross the Heaven and Earth Bridge, they suddenly heard a familiar sound from the woods.
It sounded like thousands of birds chirping, the sound of lightning rubbing against the air.
This sound wasn't much different from Chidori, but it was also a little different.
The expression on Kakashi's face froze. Chidori was a Ninjutsu he invented.
He could quickly distinguish the various variations or sounds of this technique.
Because of this, the current situation became even more absurd.
Besides Kakashi, the only other person who could use this move was Sasuke?
The standard equipment for Chidori was Sharingan, but the Uchiha Clan, who truly possessed Sharingan, mainly used Illusion Techniques and Fire Release.
Naruto and Sakura also stopped in their tracks. The two of them naturally realized what this sound implied.
"Really? This sound.".
"Is Sasuke there?".
Naruto's running speed suddenly increased, and he ran past Kakashi all the way to the front.
Sai looked at the three people next to him without saying a word. From their reactions, this electric current sound seemed to have something to do with Sasuke.
After scouting the area for ambushes by the Akatsuki organization, Sai had already thought that his mission target wouldn't appear this time.
Let me see you, Uchiha Sasuke.
