Danzo sat alone in his dimly lit room, his eyes fixed on a document on his desk. He raised his hand and summoned one of his Root ninjas, tossing the document towards them.
"Send this to Yinnin Village," he ordered, his voice filled with determination. He nodded silently to the ninja, who promptly took the file and disappeared from the room.
Left alone, Danzo couldn't help but let out a wicked chuckle. "Sarutobi, if you refuse to train that kid into a weapon, then so be it. He's quite interested in the Uchiha, and I believe he'll thank me for this generous gift."
With that, Danzo turned away and disappeared into the darkness, his plans taking shape.
Meanwhile, in an underground secret base in Yinnin Village, Orochimaru was observing another failed experimental subject. He sighed, expressing his disappointment to Kimimaro, who stood by his side.
"Dispose of this one," Orochimaru ordered, his tone calm but tinged with regret. "It's a shame I can't cure your blood disease, Kimimaro. Otherwise, you would have made the perfect vessel for me."
Kimimaro nodded obediently, his gaze filled with a mix of loyalty and envy towards Orochimaru. He knew that Orochimaru coveted the Uchiha bloodline, and the mention of it piqued his interest.
Just then, Kimimaro returned with a file in his hands, which he presented to Orochimaru. The mention of Uchiha immediately caught Orochimaru's attention, and he couldn't help but wear a sinister smile.
"Danzo, that old fool," Orochimaru muttered to himself. "He never gives up, does he?" The thought of Sasuke, a prodigious young ninja with the Sharingan, excited Orochimaru greatly. He considered Sasuke to be the perfect vessel for his experiments.
Kimimaro's jealousy grew as he witnessed Orochimaru's interest in Sasuke. He yearned to gain Orochimaru's favor to the same extent. Determined to prove his worth, he spoke up.
"Master Orochimaru, let me go and assess Sasuke's qualifications as your vessel," Kimimaro offered, hoping to impress his master. Orochimaru looked at him, intrigued by his request.
"I want to see for myself," Orochimaru replied, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "But we must be cautious. Sasuke is currently with Hatake Kakashi, a formidable Jōnin from Konoha. We can't afford to be discovered."
With their plans set in motion, Orochimaru and Kimimaro prepared to depart for the Kingdom of Waves, where Sasuke and his team were heading.
Meanwhile, Sasuke and his group had been traveling for most of the day. As they continued their journey, Sasuke's keen senses detected something amiss. He noticed a puddle of water on the ground, despite the scorching sun and dry surroundings. Although it was meant to deceive ordinary people, Sasuke saw through the illusion immediately.
He looked up at the sky, questioning the oddity. Kakashi, who had been observing Sasuke's every move, was pleased with his student's perceptiveness. He had intentionally placed Sasuke at the back of the group to gauge his reaction to danger.
The team cautiously approached the pool of water, with Kakashi deliberately leading the way. Suddenly, iron chains rattled, and two Chūnin sprung into action—one from the water and the other from the nearby bushes. They launched an attack on Sasuke and his companions.
Startled by the sudden assault
, Naruto and Sakura froze in shock. However, Sasuke swiftly evaded the incoming strike, countering with a powerful punch that connected with one of the attackers. Simultaneously, a concealed Kunai found its mark, fatally injuring the other assailant.
Within moments, the threat was neutralized, thanks to Sasuke's swift reflexes and decisive actions. Naruto and Sakura were left in awe of Sasuke's abilities, while Kakashi observed with satisfaction.
As the dust settled, the team realized that this encounter was just the beginning of a much larger scheme unfolding in the shadows. Unbeknownst to them, Orochimaru and his follower Kimimaro were closing in, their eyes set on Sasuke and the power he possessed.
The journey to the Kingdom of Waves grew more perilous, with each step bringing them closer to a confrontation that could change their lives forever.
