"Is that so?"
Sasuke and Naruto were both a little disappointed, but they quickly cheered up.
What Takemi said was true. They had just graduated, and perhaps they would become even stronger in the future.
Moreover, Takemi was also in their team.
"It's boring just waiting like this. Oh, right…"
Takemi stroked his chin, and suddenly he thought of something.
"Karin's washing machine just broke, and she left a few sets of clothes here. Want to try them on?"
"Wha-what?"
"Hey, that's too perverted, isn't it?"
Takemi's words immediately filled the two boys with resistance. This was not something they were willing to do, but Takemi took out three skirts and said with a smile.
"Why? Sometimes Ninja have to rely on disguise, not just the Transformation Technique. Didn't they teach you that in school?"
"I feel like you have some bad intentions."
Naruto was a bit uncooperative, and Sasuke was also a bit hesitant, but Takemi didn't care at all.
"Let's do it together. Don't feel burdened. Besides, learning to wear these will help you better understand how to disguise as a girl, won't it?"
"No."
"Are you sure? You don't want to see Sasuke wear it?"
"Eh?!"
Naruto was stunned, his eyes suddenly lighting up, while Sasuke's face turned black.
He realized that this senpai was strong, and malicious.
"Alright, alright! Then let's do it together!"
This time, Naruto became proactive. He grabbed a skirt and chuckled.
"I even wanted to see Sasuke use the Sexy Technique, but he couldn't use it at all. So let's put some effort into this."
"You idiot…"
Sasuke's face turned red. He hesitated while looking at the short skirt Takemi handed him, then simply took it.
"Go find a room to change in."
Takemi got up and walked towards the washroom. Naruto smirked at Sasuke and also walked towards the other side.
Sasuke sighed, looking at the short skirt in his hand, and finally could only get up and squeeze into a random room.
A gentle breeze blew, making the curtains in Takemi's house gently sway.
"Are you ready?"
Takemi's voice rang out, and Sasuke's embarrassed voice immediately sounded.
"I guess I'm ready."
"Then come out!"
Naruto was the most excited. When he heard the sound of a door opening outside, he immediately pulled open his own door.
In an instant, the three of them walked out together.
However—
Only Naruto had actually changed, while Takemi and Sasuke were staring intently at him.
For a moment, the entire room became exceptionally silent.
"Go to hell!"
Naruto grabbed a chair from Takemi's house, his face flushed, and he yelled, swinging it at the two of them. He felt like he had been tricked.
"Don't get excited. It's just that I don't think I'm very suitable."
Takemi chuckled while looking at Naruto, trying to persuade him, while Sasuke also struggled to suppress a laugh.
"Takemi! I'm here!"
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the window, accompanied by a series of hurried footsteps.
Turning to look, they saw Deidara already standing outside the window, and behind him were several Anbu.
"Oh, what are you guys… hmm…"
But when he saw the scene inside Takemi's house, he immediately fell silent.
Not only him, but even the Anbu behind him were the same. For a moment, everyone stared at each other, not knowing what to say.
Takemi's expression was a bit strange and he sighed helplessly.
"Oh no, that blonde is here again…"
Inside the Land of Rain base, Black Zetsu approached Nagato with a letter in his hand, and Obito beside him also looked bewildered.
"I never thought Danzo would want to meet Hanzo."
He couldn't quite understand if Danzo was seeking death.
"Danzo wants to meet Hanzo?"
Not only Obito, but Nagato also had a strange expression.
"Does that mean we can take the opportunity to deal with him?"
"If nothing goes wrong, yes."
Black Zetsu nodded. He hadn't expected Danzo to have such an idea, which made him sigh with relief at their good fortune.
They were still wondering how to find Danzo, but Danzo delivered himself to their doorstep. Such good fortune was truly unimaginable.
"It's just that Danzo requested to meet near Konoha. He seems very worried about something happening to him. Besides that, he also mentioned one more thing."
"Near Konoha? That's no big deal."
Nagato didn't see any problem with this request. A guy like Danzo, who was like a sewer rat, would definitely be extremely cautious.
However, this was no big deal for them, as they were also about to set off for Konoha.
Nagati said, "Then meet him. If possible, it could also avoid a battle within Konoha, preventing too much trouble."
Then he asked curiously, "You said he also mentioned one more thing. What is it?"
"He doesn't dare to meet us alone, he hopes to have someone present." Black Zetsu shook his head, speaking with a hint of amusement.
"He didn't reveal who exactly, but it's probably a form of self-protection for him."
"Agree to it. Let him bring people."
Nagato glanced at Obito, and seeing that he had no desire to speak, he made the decision.
"I'm very curious as to who can protect him!"
Obito raised an eyebrow, he seemed to want to discuss Takemi. However, Black Zetsu stopped him, it was better not to complicate things at this time.
Besides, getting rid of Danzo early would make subsequent matters easier.
In the Land of Rice Fields, within Otogakure.
"Orochimaru-sama, Danzo has sent another message."
Kimimaro retrieved a scroll from the mouth of a viper. After scanning the scroll's markings, he turned to Orochimaru.
"Danzo?"
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow. Ever since he confirmed Danzo's betrayal, he hadn't paid much attention to the incoming letters.
Even if he did look, he wouldn't respond, as he had no interest in wasting words on a dead man.
Danzo had also stopped sending letters for a while, but unexpectedly, his letters arrived again just as Orochimaru was about to depart.
"Orochimaru-sama, would you like to take a look?" Kimimaro lowered his head and spoke softly.
"After all, we are about to set off for Konoha, and this Danzo…"
"Bring it over."
Orochimaru pondered for a moment and didn't refuse Kimimaro's good intention.
The timing of Danzo's message was indeed a bit sensitive, especially since he was his target this time.
He wanted to see what tricks Danzo was up to.
"Hmm? Danzo wants to see me?"
Opening the scroll and glancing at it, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.
"Interesting…"
Orochimaru couldn't quite understand what Danzo was planning.
He lacked any awareness of having betrayed him and always acted innocent.
If it were anyone else, they might have been fooled. But Orochimaru knew Danzo too well. He was very clear that he definitely had another motive.
"Perhaps, I could go and meet him…"
However, after a moment of contemplation, Orochimaru stroked his chin and thought to himself.
"After all, he is the target. If it can avoid some unexpected situations, that would naturally be better, even if he brings some people…"
Danzo hadn't concealed the fact that he would bring people, stating that he couldn't meet Orochimaru alone.
Of course, he wouldn't write how many people he would bring, but Orochimaru was still willing to give it a try.
"I understand. You help me contact Kabuto and tell him to prepare to cooperate with my actions."
"I understand, Orochimaru-sama." Kimimaro nodded.
Soon, he became somewhat silent, and after a while, he spoke softly, "Orochimaru-sama, can I go with you this time?"
"No."
Orochimaru looked at Kimimaro and sighed. He knew Kimimaro's thoughts, but his body was not in good condition.
He could handle the injuries, but the constantly erupting Kekkei Genkai disease left him helpless.
To have lived this long already proved Kimimaro's tenacity.
"You stay here and rest well. Perhaps in the future…"
But looking at Kimimaro, even someone as cold as Orochimaru didn't say anything harsh in the end.
"You can still show your worth, Kimimaro."
