The low and hoarse voice is very suitable for this weird atmosphere.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open, Kabuto's face was calm.

"How's the plan going this time?" Orochimaru sat on the chair and looked at Kabuto with a smile.

Kabuto walked in without closing the door and hung the torch on the wall.

"There is no problem, everything is going on. Sasuke-kun and his group passed the Chunin Exam smoothly. I eliminated many candidates in the Death Forest, but... there is one variable."

"Variable? That ANBU boy?"

Orochimaru frowned slightly, twitched the corners of his mouth, and his smile gradually disappeared.

"Yes. It's not just the Forest of Death. During the negotiation with the Suna Ninja, he was discovered by the people of Konoha. That boy is really an unexpected ninja! Fortunately, you are here to deal with Moonlight Hayate, but that ANBU boy...

…”

"Don't worry."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and then smiled secretly.

His eyes were full of cunning enthusiasm.

"Hyuuga Neji, I already know his name."

"Hyuuga Neji?"

After Kabuto heard this name, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, I didn't expect that the Hyuga clan still has such a powerful bloodline. The bloodline that I have been searching for, the Hyuga Tennin lineage, has finally been found. But now that Sasuke-kun is here, that bloodline doesn't seem to be that important.

Already." Orochimaru smiled, and his eyes seemed to be filled with memories from many years ago.

"The body of the Uchiha clan is the most suitable for you, Orochimaru-sama!" Kabuto bowed his head in surrender.

Orochimaru snorted coldly: "Yes, but you still have to be extremely careful. The boy from the Hinata family seems to be growing faster than Sasuke-kun! When the time comes, you have to pay more attention to him..."

"Yes!" Kabuto replied.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The sound of the mouse suddenly stopped and was replaced by the sound of snakes crawling on the ground.
