Sasuke asked directly, "Uncle, I want to know who the source of information within the Akatsuki organization is. It can't be Itachi, right?"
"Haha, you've noticed," the small paper figure's eyes turned into crescents. "Initially, Itachi did provide some information, but I haven't been in contact with him for a long time."
"Then who is it now?" Sasuke continued to ask.
"It's Uchiha Obito," Kaito said calmly, "Or rather, he hasn't been Uchiha Obito for a long time."
"Obito? I met him today. What is his relationship with Kakashi?"
"Obito was in the same class as Kakashi and was a disciple of the Fourth Hokage."
"Why does Naruto hate him?"
"Because he was the mastermind behind the Nine-Tails incident when Naruto was born, which led to the death of the Fourth Hokage and his wife."
"You said he's no longer Obito. What do you mean?"
"Obito also participated in the extermination of the Uchiha clan. I have already killed him. What appears now is a puppet controlled by me."
"I see."
The small paper figure in Sasuke's palm jumped slightly.
"What's the matter? Do you need me to provide you with information about Itachi?"
"Not for now," Sasuke replied. "Uncle and Grandpa Izuna probably want to train me. I want to see if I can find him with my own abilities first."
"Very well then. Good luck, Sasuke. Remember to contact me if you need anything."
As soon as Kaito finished speaking, the small paper figure immediately returned to its original form and gently fell down.
Sasuke put the paper figure back in his ninja tool pouch, observed the direction, and then disappeared from the spot.

At the Uchiha residence on Mount Ōeyama.
In the laboratory, Kaito casually retrieved a similar small paper figure and immediately received a communication from the puppet.
"Master."
"What is it?"
"Master, we have obtained the One-Tails' chakra."
"Well done."
"According to Nagato's arrangement, the Two-Tails will be handled by Terai and me."
"How strong is Terai?"
"He's at the level of an elite jōnin, but he's not as strong as Kakashi."
"I see. Proceed according to the plan."
"Understood."
Kaito then cut off the communication.
"Little Kaito." Yūrei pushed the door open and came in. "I have something important to tell you!"
"Hmm? What happened, Yūrei?" Kaito turned his head.
"I found traces of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!" Yūrei explained with a serious expression.
"Oh?" Kaito raised an eyebrow with interest. "It seems Lord Mo's suspicions were correct. That guy isn't dead yet, is he?"
"To be precise, he's already dead," Yūrei frowned, looking a bit uneasy. "But he might resurrect."
"Really? Then please explain it to me in detail," Kaito said, holding Yūrei's hand to comfort her.
"I've been searching for valuable clues in the dream world to help you, Little Kaito," Yūrei said, blushing slightly.
"Thank you, Yūrei," Kaito smiled and patted her head. "You don't need to work so hard."
"No, I want to do this," Yūrei said firmly. "Everyone, including you, is working hard. Even though I don't have much combat power, I want to do something for the final victory."
"I understand. Do as you think is best," Kaito said gently. "So, what is the current state of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki?"
"I accidentally entered a dream where the owner was someone named Jigen. In the dream, I obtained important information."
Yūrei's expression grew heavier.
"Years ago, after being ambushed and killed by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki used a secret technique to lodge himself within Jigen's body."
"Then, is Ōtsutsuki Isshiki planning to resurrect using Jigen's body?" Kaito asked.
"I'm not sure," Yūrei shook her head slightly. "The dream I entered belonged to Jigen, but according to him, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki has already taken control of his consciousness. Soon, he will completely lose himself."
"I see. Have you informed Lord Mo about this?"
"Not yet."
"Then go inform Lord Mao and our other companions first," Kaito said. "I need to think carefully about what to do next."
"I understand."
After Yūrei left, Kaito smiled: "Things are getting more interesting."
A member of the Ōtsutsuki clan in a weakened state is truly a gift from the heavens.

In a vast forest, Sasuke swiftly moved through the treetops.
"Who's there?"
Suddenly, Sasuke stopped, his hand gripping the sword at his waist as he cautiously observed his surroundings.
"Long time no see, Sasuke-kun. I finally found you," a hoarse voice said as a vague mud figure slowly emerged from the ground.
As the mud figure took shape, Sasuke frowned: "Orochimaru."
"Hehe, it's me," Orochimaru laughed coldly.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked warily.
"Don't be so tense, Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru licked his lips. "Although you broke our agreement three years ago, I'm not here for that today."
"Then get to the point," Sasuke said impatiently, releasing a strong aura.
"Hehehehe..." Orochimaru laughed indifferently. "You've improved a lot. You're truly a genius, Sasuke-kun."
"However, my purpose this time isn't you," he said, his expression becoming serious. "I want to meet with Kaito-kun. Can you help me with that?"
"You have business with my uncle?" Sasuke relaxed a bit upon seeing Orochimaru's serious expression.
"Hehe, yes, I have something important to discuss with Kaito-kun," Orochimaru's attitude became completely earnest.
"My uncle might not be able to meet with you anytime soon," Sasuke hesitated.
Orochimaru's eyes flashed as he smiled and said, "Then, could you convey a message for me?"
"That won't be necessary," Sasuke decided, pulling out the communication paper figure from his ninja tool pouch. "You can talk to my uncle directly using this."
He activated the paper figure with natural energy, causing purple markings to appear on his face.
"Sasuke?" Kaito's voice came through again.
"What is this?"
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed as he watched Sasuke.
Senjutsu, a lively paper figure, simple and expressive facial features.
'How fascinating,' he quickly licked his lips again.
"Uncle, Orochimaru found me and wants to talk to you," Sasuke said to the paper figure.
"Oh?"
The paper figure jumped, turned around, and bowed, looking at Orochimaru standing on the ground.
"You looking for me?"
"Indeed, I'm quite fond of you, Kaito-kun," Orochimaru said. "I've been waiting for this day to speak with you for a long time."
"I'm honored," Kaito's voice carried a smile. "In my view, Yyou is also a rare genius, especially having transcended the limitations of being a mere shinobi."
Orochimaru's eyes lit up as he smiled and said, "As expected of Kaito-kun. I knew we'd get along well."
"This time, I sought you out because I've received some surprising news from Ryūchi Cave."
