Chapter 2448 Under the Moon

"Dingling...Dingling...Dingling..."

In the sudden night wind, under the eaves carved with koi carp, the sound of wind chimes was ringing, but it became more and more urgent.

"Wha...what? What the hell are you!"

Suddenly, a frightened roar broke the silence of the night.

"Bang!"

Then, there was a muffled sound, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust suddenly rose up from the roof, accompanied by the frightened sound of screams.

Under the moonlight, the enlarged mass suddenly shrank in the smoke and blood, and finally turned into a human-shaped reflection, sitting quietly on the roof.

"I...I really should...should listen..."

After that, there were intermittent weak voices with regret.

In the end, everything returned to silence.

…

"It's... so amazing. Is that his true face?"

At this time, on the opposite side of the roof, among the shadowed pavilions and pavilions, where the situation on the roof could be seen head-on, a white-haired young man wearing glasses spoke with emotion and spoke softly. sounded.

"But... is this really good? That Otogakure ninja..."

In response, beside him, Sunagakure's Jonin, who was also the instructor of Sunagakure's genin who participated in the chunin exam, Jounin Maki, turned back and looked at the real Orochimaru liaison named Yakushi Kabuto, He spoke with some hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, he is no longer of use."

At this time, Yakushi Kabuto just looked at the young man carrying the gourd who looked unchanged sitting on the koi carving under the moonlight. His eyes were shining with unknown brilliance, and the corners of his mouth were slowly turning. A slight smile appeared on his face, and he said nonchalantly.

It was as if he was talking about something that he didn't even care about.

Thos...

This guy must be hiding something. Since he can hide it from Lord Orochimaru, then this kid's ability should be far stronger than what he shows.

This time I took the opportunity to get rid of him,

It can be regarded as a cure for a heart disease.

At the same time, a glimmer of pleasure and peace of mind that the hidden danger had been eliminated flashed through his heart.

Yes, the scene in front of him was what he most wanted to see.

Toss' death here can be said to be the most perfect of the several endings he expected.

This Toss can be considered a worthy death.

"I thought he was a tool to test the strength of that boy Sasuke."

Regarding Yakushi Kabuto's words, Ma Ji frowned slightly and spoke.

"No, this is no longer necessary. In fact, I have been given the order to capture Sasuke, but it failed."

In response, Kabuto Yakushi said with a smile.

It's no longer necessary.

Because this hidden danger has been eliminated, as for seeing the truly terrifying appearance of Gaara, it can only be regarded as an unexpected joy.

He is standing here now not to see the true strength of Gaara. His purpose is actually to get rid of the hidden danger of Toss.

Although it was Orochimaru's order to let Toss put pressure on Uchiha Sasuke, and because of the relationship between Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara in the battle table, Toss would challenge Gaara here, and then he was defeated by me without any suspense. It seemed that the reason for Gaara's death was Orochimaru, but it was all due to Kabuto Yakushi's calculations.

If Orochimaru doesn't let Toss carry out the plan to make Uchiha Sasuke more obsessed with the power of the curse seal, he can also have Toss involved. For him who has mixed up with Orochimaru's right-hand man, there are still some ways to make Orochimaru move towards Go in the direction you want.

Of course, this does not mean that he can influence Orochimaru's thinking.

It's just that a small person like Toss is nothing in Orochimaru's eyes, so he can take the opportunity to guide him.

If it was really something Orochimaru valued, then no matter how brave he was, he wouldn't dare to do it.

However, although Toss is a little person that Orochimaru does not like to see, it does not mean that he also thinks that Toss is just a little person.

Toss did not belong to the experimental area that Orochimaru put him under. Instead, he was selected directly from the training camp in Otogakure Village, and the department he was finally assigned to was also Otogakure Village, not any underground base experimental area.

There wasn't much overlap in the first place, but it was only because of the Konoha collapse plan that he became Toss's direct superior.

Because of this, he, who has always been cautious, subconsciously investigated the past of this Toss, as well as everything about this Toss in Otogakure Village and even the training camp, and even how Orochimaru absorbed such a person in the first place. Everything has been investigated clearly.

As Orochimaru's right-hand man, he still has the means to investigate a small person like Toss.

Moreover, he was originally a spy, and his intelligence reserves were beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

And this investigation didn't matter. After the investigation, he felt that Toss was a bit extraordinary. First of all, he was always able to turn danger into danger, especially when he first entered Orochimaru's training camp. He turned the tide in certain death situations several times. , managed to survive, but almost none of his teammates were so lucky and died during the mission.

This situation reminded him of a person in Konoha Village back then. Although Toss could not compare with this person at all, his deeds were closer to this person, almost always creating miracles to turn the tide of the battle.

Moreover, since no one came back alive with him, Kabuto Yakushi couldn't investigate exactly how he survived, but what was known was that their opponent was definitely not something they could deal with.

In other words, it is very likely that Toss is hiding his strength. He himself is very strong and can defeat opponents who are much stronger than him on the surface, and such opponents force him to use all his strength. In desperation, he wanted to hide his strength, so he could only kill his companions after or just before solving the opponent, so that no one would reveal his secret.

After learning this, Kabuto Yakushi was really deeply wary of this Toss. As Orochimaru's right-hand man, he was able to sit in this position, so naturally he did not come up peacefully.

Even if you have reached this position, it is not safe and secure.

Behind the scenes, there are countless experimental subjects staring at his position. Within Orochimaru's power, although he is somewhat irreplaceable, but only for Orochimaru, in the eyes of other ambitious people, he But a thorn in the side.

If he is not the absolute winner of the infighting within the faction. Then, what is waiting for him is probably the thing he least wants to see.

And even now, as the absolute winner, he has to deal with Orochimaru without making any mistakes, and he also has to ensure his absolute status and power.

Although he joined Orochimaru's forces in order to obtain answers to his life and seek answers from Orochimaru, this does not mean that he is a selfless devotee or a supplicant who can foolishly sacrifice his life. The first training you receive is to survive. You can survive no matter where you are or what the environment is.

What's more, among Orochimaru's forces, if he is a little careless, he may be chopped into pieces without even screaming.

Orochimaru admires him very much, and he mainly controls him and will not really threaten his life. However, the other people under Orochimaru don't care about this. Under Orochimaru's education, these have long been distorted. This guy is not someone who shows mercy and considers the consequences.

But now, this Toss is actually much stronger than what he shows, and he is still not sure how strong this Toss is, and what's even more frightening is that he also has hidden powers far beyond what appears on the surface. The ability of strength, and the hiding of it for several years or even more than ten years. If such a person is not eliminated, then this Toss is likely to be the one to eliminate him.

Kabuto Yakushi would never tolerate the existence of such a character.

Therefore, Toss is bound to die.

It doesn't matter whether he died in the hands of Gaara, Uchiha Sasuke, or his Yakushi Kabuto.

Just die.

Kakashi...

However, now, after mentioning the failure during the day, the figure of that man flashed across Kabuto Yakushi's mind. And the scenes of his own failure.

The smile on his face faded slightly.

Although Lord Orochimaru said that I am at Kakashi's level, in the final analysis I should still be inferior to this Kakashi.

Perhaps, in terms of strength, there is not much difference.

However, that elusive feeling, that Kakashi gave me the feeling that I could be evenly matched with Orochimaru-sama...

Perhaps, I am far inferior to this Kakashi.

And Lord Orochimaru should be able to see this. By saying this, is it possible that he has already begun to prepare to deal with me?

Is my current performance almost arousing Orochimaru-sama's suspicion?

Did you deliberately say that I am similar to Kakashi to skew my perception of my own strength?

Is it just a routine way to plant the seeds of getting rid of me if I betray you in the future?

Or is Orochimaru-sama now so afraid of me that he is ready to get rid of me?

No!

Probably not enough...

During this time, there was nothing suspicious about me.

This is just Lord Orochimaru's routine paranoia.

At the same time, as Kakashi's figure flashed through his mind, a series of thoughts flashed through Kabuto Yakushi's mind.

"Unfortunately, my identity as Otogakure's undercover agent has been discovered."

However, he seemed to be very heavy thinking about things like fear. However, at this moment, he touched the back of his head and added with a simple and honest look of "Haha, it seems like it's messed up." .

"Then, if what we are discussing in secret here is discovered...the plan to destroy Konoha will come to naught."

When he heard this sound, Ma Ji's face instantly became serious, and even a bit of murderous intent appeared on his face.

"What's wrong? I heard that you are Orochimaru's right-hand man, but you came to me when your appearance was exposed. How stupid!"

At the end, a bit of anger burst into his eyes, he stared at Medicine Master Kabuto, and said with almost clenched teeth.

"It's really annoying. To be precise, it's not that I was discovered, but..."

But at this time, Yakushi Kabuto, who was pretending to be stupid, lowered his head slightly, and a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"But, I let them discover it!"

As he spoke, his originally narrowed eyes slowly opened in the direction of Ma Ji, revealing a gloomy and strange look.

"I just wanted to test what Konoha would do. It wouldn't be too late to snatch Sasuke away later. But I didn't expect..."

At the same time, he spoke again.

"Hmph! If you fail, we will stop immediately. This was Otogakure's plan originally. Sunagakure Village is not allowed to take action until it is absolutely necessary. This is the Kazekage's intention."

In response, Ma Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, the color on his face had turned serious, but he spoke with a threatening tone.

"No, it would be great if Sunagakure can do this. This is Otogakure's resolution. Please read it."

Hearing this, Yakushi Kabuto didn't seem to care about Sunagakure's words which implied the intention to withdraw. He just took out a scroll and handed it to Maki.

"It's almost time to tell them the details of this plan."

At the same time, he looked at the red-haired young man with an evil look on his face who was standing on the roof in the light of the huge full moon, carrying a gourd on his back, and said with a faint smile.

"Ah, I understand."

In this regard, after taking the scroll and glancing at the content, Marky said this.

"Then I'll take my leave."

After receiving Ma Ji's affirmative answer, Yakushi Kabuto had no intention of staying. He turned around and left with a farewell.

In response, Ma Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly moved his eyes away from the young man in the full moon in front of him, as if he suddenly noticed something from the distraction when he saw the young man, and his eyes instantly fell on Yakushi Kabuto. On the body.

This is……

But his heart tightened.

"Oh, one more thing..."

But at this time, Yakushi Kabuto stopped, and a sinister smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Leave the rest to me!"

"No, let me do it. As Sunagakure from the Kingdom of Wind, it is impossible not to lend a helping hand to his companions at this time. Moreover, there is only one mouse, so it is easy."

However, his words were firmly denied by Ma Ji.

"Bang!"

And at the moment when these negative words fell, without waiting for Yakushi Kabuto's reaction, Ma Ji's figure disappeared in a burst of white mist.

"snort……"

In response, Kabuto the pharmacist, who still had his back to where Ma Ji was just now, smiled softly.

The alliance between Sunagakure and Otogakure...

At this time, it was officially established!

And now, as the elite among the elite of Sunagakure in the Kingdom of Wind, he is about to send himself to Sunagakure Village to join...
