When Uto and Ranmaru arrived in Konoha, the Chunin Exams had already begun, and even the third qualifying round had ended.
It's not difficult to know this information. For such a big thing as the Chunin Exam, you can just ask anyone.
However, Youdou didn't care. They weren't here specifically to watch the game anyway.
Youto showed great interest in the legendary Ichiraku Ramen, so he randomly found a resident of Konoha and asked for directions.
Uto took Ranmaru to the place where Ichiraku Ramen was. After all, he might not be able to eat it in the future.
This is a very ordinary small shop, and the entire noodle shop is not too big. When Uto and Ranmaru walked into Ichiraku Ramen, they found that there was not a single customer in the shop.
"Boss, please have two bowls of your specialty."
With a gentle smile on his face, Youto looked at the owner of Ichiraku Ramen and said.
"Okay, customer." A ramen owner said quickly.
Not long after, two bowls of hot ramen appeared in front of Uto and Ranmaru.
After taking a bite, You Dou's eyes lit up. I have to say that although this noodle shop is not as delicious as expected, it is still quite good.
"Master Youto, this noodle is delicious!"
Ranmaru, who was sitting next to You Dou, had a satisfied expression on his little face and started eating with big mouthfuls.
Jingle Bell
The curtain of the Ichiraku Noodle House was opened again, and a thin ninja wearing a pair of glasses walked in.
"Boss, I want a side too."
With a gentle smile on his face, Kabuto Yakushi said to the owner of Ichiraku Ramen.
"It'll be ready soon!" the owner of Ichiraku Ramen said again.
After looking around for a moment, Yakushi Kabuto's eyes fell on Uto and Ranmaru. After all, these two people were the only ones in Ichiraku Ramen.
His gaze lingered on Ranwan for a moment, and a look of doubt flashed in Kabuto Yakushi's eyes, as if he didn't understand why there was a kid.
Kabuto Yakushi walked to the seat next to Youto and sat down, rolled his eyes, and said in a low voice:
"Lord Orochimaru would like to invite you two to come over."
After finishing speaking, Yakushi Kabuto waited for a while and found that Youdou was still eating noodles, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all.
"Ahem, Lord Orochimaru, please give me a pass. Please come over."
Kabuto Yakushi coughed lightly and spoke again, but this time his voice was slightly raised.
"It seems that Orochimaru guy didn't tell you who I am." You Dou said indifferently without raising his head.
Kabuto Yakushi looked stunned, and just about to continue speaking, Ranwan, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly raised his head with a naive expression, looked at Kabuto Yakushi and said:
"Big brother, if you don't want to eat the noodles, can you give it to Ranwan?"
Hearing Ranmaru's words, Kabuto Yakushi suddenly couldn't help but trembled, turned his head stiffly, and looked at the kid.
For some reason, this kid suddenly gave him a feeling of extreme danger.
"But...it's okay." Kabuto Yakushi said in a stiff tone.
"Go back and tell Orochimaru that you don't need to worry about me, just let him follow his own plan."
The faint voice reached Yakushi Kabuto's ears, causing a layer of sweat to appear on Yakushi Kabuto's forehead.
Kabuto Yakushi slowly exited Ichiraku Ramen, took a deep look at the two figures lying on the table eating noodles, turned around, and quickly left the place.
Uto had guessed a little bit about Orochimaru's little thoughts, but the current Orochimaru was no longer of much use to Uto.
Orochimaru's biggest role has been completed, which is to lure the Sand Ninja Village into the situation. As for the remaining role, in Uto's opinion, it is just to contain some of Konoha's power.
As for whether Orochimaru had other little thoughts, Righto didn't care at all.
"Speaking of which, that guy Jiraiya should have arrived. Is he going to start contacting Naruto?"
You Dou said softly with a faint smile on his face.
Unfortunately, Kinoshita Yoshiro had already planted the seeds in Naruto's heart in advance. It would probably be much more difficult for Jiraiya to touch this place in Naruto's heart than before.
Unless Jiraiya still takes Naruto out to practice like in the original work, there will be enough time to completely change Naruto.
But, is there really still this chance?
In a long corridor, the chirping of birds sounded around, giving people a sense of peace.
"It's really quiet here. No, it should be said that this country is too peaceful. You know, other countries are busy expanding their armaments now."
Orochimaru leaned on a mahogany pillar and spoke in a low voice.
Tread
The sound of gentle footsteps sounded, and Kabuto Yakushi appeared in front of Orochimaru, and respectfully said: "Lord Orochimaru!"
"Oh, did you come back alive?"
Orochimaru glanced at Yakushi Kabuto and licked his lips.
Kabuto Yakushi was stunned, lowering his head with a wry smile on his face.
Recalling what Udo had said to him, Kabuto Yakushi said with doubts in his voice: "Who is that sir?"
"You should be lucky that you don't know that person's name, otherwise, what would appear in front of me would be a corpse."
Orochimaru let out a low sneer, with seriousness in his tone.
Surprise flashed in Kabuto Yakushi's eyes. From just a few words of Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi analyzed that Orochimaru seemed to be a little afraid of that young man.
"Well, let Lord Orochimaru act according to his own plan, and there is no need to worry about him."
Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said what Uto told him to Orochimaru,
"It's an expected thing, but I don't know if it would be interesting to take off the old man's head." Orochimaru had a sneer on his face.
"Lord Orochimaru, are you a little hesitant? Although I don't know what will happen next, I feel that Konoha may be in big trouble."
"Lord Orochimaru, are you letting yourself become a trigger to lead to something?"
Yakushi Kabuto stood up straight and spoke softly.
After hearing Kabuto Yakushi's words, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes slightly, and a vague killing intent suddenly emitted from his body, covering Kabuto Yakushi, and said in an indifferent voice: "You see so clearly, but it makes me a little unhappy.
"
Feeling the killing intent emanating from Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi didn't show any nervousness on his face, but instead showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
For Lord Orochimaru, as long as he still has a high enough value, Lord Orochimaru will never kill him now.
Killing the Third Hokage, seizing the descendant of the Uchiha clan named Sasuke, etc. These are definitely not the real goals of Lord Orochimaru.
Therefore, this is what Kabuto Yakushi is really curious about until now. What is Lord Orochimaru's purpose? Or what does he want to elicit?
"There are many secrets hidden in Konoha that even I don't know about."
Orochimaru looked in the direction of Hokage Rock, his brown snake eyes flickering slightly.
