Unlike the harmonious atmosphere of Aoba Team, the atmosphere in Kakashi Team was a bit subtle.
Sai's squinting eyes and poisonous tongue made it difficult for him to integrate well into the team. Coupled with Sakura's irritability from being called an ugly girl and Sasuke's usual aloofness, it was naturally difficult for them to get along well.
Kakashi had a headache and couldn't help but complain about that old man Danzo in his heart.
Inserting someone so suddenly at this time, was it not some ill intention?
However, Ino was somewhat interested in Sai, this handsome guy.
She was already a face enthusiast. Since giving up on Sasuke, she hadn't seen any handsome guys she found attractive. Now that she had finally met one, she naturally wanted to get to know him better.
Then, Sai, following textbook conversation techniques, called her a beauty, which made Ino overjoyed.
Immediately after, it was naturally the best friend battle between Sakura and Ino. After all, Sakura was called an ugly girl while Ino was called a beauty, so Sakura was naturally unconvinced. However, they didn't dare to argue loudly, which made the atmosphere inside the sealed stone house even more bizarre.
Meanwhile, Tenten was using the Flying Thunder God Technique to pass notes and chat with Natsuki. Besides updating each other on the situation, it was just the content of messages between a couple in love.
Of course, the most important thing was the news about the 21 Six Paths Tools.
Natsuki had guessed before that Tsunade would make a move on Orochimaru, and he also speculated that Orochimaru might have news about the Gold and Silver Brothers.
Whether Tenten can get her hands on the Six Paths Tools and become a legendary kunoichi depends on this mission. Even if she has to turn Lord Orochimaru's base upside down, she must find the information!
Early the next morning, after everyone finished breakfast, they immediately infiltrated the Land of Rice Fields from different directions.
Team Seven, Team Eight, Team Nine, and Team Ten all used the Transformation Technique to appear as ordinary people, preventing them from being recognized as Konoha Ninja and effectively avoiding tipping off the enemy.
As for Team Guy, since Xiao Li couldn't use the Transformation Technique, he could only wear a cloak.
Originally, Xiao Li wanted Tenten to summon Badora to carry them in, but Badora was too large and easily aroused suspicion.
As for having Natsuki use the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring them in in batches, the risk was also not small. After all, it seemed to everyone that the Flying Thunder God Technique consumed a lot of Chakra, and Natsuki was the main force of the operation. Having the main force consume a large amount of Chakra was not a wise move.
Natsuki didn't explain and let Kakashi arrange it himself.
There will definitely be many such missions in the future, so it's a good opportunity for everyone to train well.
They shouldn't think about relying on his Flying Thunder God Technique. While the Flying Thunder God Technique is very convenient, if everyone gets used to it and he isn't with them one day, won't they be finished?
Using the Flying Thunder God Technique to transport people is better saved for critical moments.
Fortunately, the quality of all five teams was excellent. Even the newly joined Sai and Kurama Yakumo performed very well.
By the afternoon, all five teams had successively arrived at the agreed location.
Natsuki was already waiting there and had quietly dug a cave using Earth Release. Seeing everyone arrive, he immediately led them into the cave and set up a soundproof barrier.
"Natsuki, how is the situation?" Kakashi immediately asked.
"According to my observations over the past few days, Lord Orochimaru should still be in the main base. Only Kabuto Yakushi has been active. Kabuto Yakushi comes to the main base on time, and then a faint sound comes from inside, like Lord Orochimaru's screams. I think there are drawbacks to Lord Orochimaru changing bodies, and the Third Hokage sealing his hands' souls won't get better just because he changed bodies. He might be suffering from illness."
Natsuki offered some judgments, which made everyone happy.
If Lord Orochimaru was really seriously ill, he would be even easier to deal with.
Kakashi and a few Jonin discussed it and finally issued the order: "Rest immediately now. We will launch a surprise attack at dawn. Team Seven and Team Nine will attack the main base. Team Eight, Team Ten, and Team Guy will be responsible for the small bases around the main base. We must wipe out Lord Orochimaru's forces! Natsuki, you are responsible for finding Lord Orochimaru's whereabouts. Once you find him, immediately send me a note, and I will cooperate with you to completely eliminate Lord Orochimaru!"
"Understood!"
Everyone agreed and immediately began to eat and rest.
Natsuki first went to Team Aoba's side and said with a smile, "Hello, you must be Kurama Yakumo. I'm Natsuki."
Kurama Yakumo immediately said seriously, "Hello, Boss! I heard that it was Boss who suggested to Tsunade-sama that I join Team Aoba. Thank you for your trust, Boss!"
That "Boss" really rolled off her tongue smoothly!
It seemed that Kurama Yakumo had successfully integrated into Team Aoba.
Her personality was already good. The reason she was so extreme before was all the fault of the demon within her. Now that she had completely recovered, her personality had become gentle, lively, and cheerful, and she quickly became good friends with Megumi.
This is good too.
Natsuki knew that with his strength, it was impossible for him to stay in Team Aoba forever.
Now that Kurama Yakumo had joined and formed a new Team Aoba, it was also good. At the very least, Natsuki could rest assured.
After greeting Kurama Yakumo, Natsuki turned and went to Tenten's side. The two of them huddled together and whispered, directly feeding dog food in the stone house.
In fact, Natsuki had already connected with Tenten using Chakra threads, secretly talking about the Six Paths Tools.
Regarding the task distribution, Natsuki actually said a few more words.
Since Team Guy was not participating in the attack on the main base, Natsuki suggested that Team Guy go to the small stronghold in the east, on the grounds that that small stronghold was a place that Kabuto Yakushi often visited.
Natsuki had been keeping an eye on it and knew that Kabuto Yakushi often went to the small stronghold in the east.
There was reason to suspect that it was Kabuto Yakushi's personal small base, and he had done a lot of things behind Lord Orochimaru's back 570.
Thinking that Kabuto Yakushi would later use Edo Tensei on the Gold and Silver Brothers, Natsuki suspected that the information about the Gold and Silver Brothers might be with Kabuto Yakushi, so it was just right for Tenten to go and look for it.
As for the main base, Natsuki would naturally look for it there. The two of them acting separately would be more efficient.
Time passed quickly. Before long, Kakashi started calling everyone to gather. Everyone hadn't rested well and was yawning sleepily, but they quickly washed up and regained their spirits.
Kakashi scanned everyone and issued the order: "Operation begins!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several teams immediately darted out of the stone house and headed in different directions.
Team Guy's taijutsu was always the best, so their speed was naturally the fastest. Before long, they arrived at the small stronghold in the east.
Kai and Xiao Li were also not ambiguous. They used the Leaf Whirlwind to kick down the stronghold's gate, and then the four of them entered in single file, quickly reaching the deepest part of the stronghold.
However, they didn't expect that there was no one in this stronghold at all.
Besides some experimental equipment, there were even more limbs soaked in nutrient solution, which made people feel uncomfortable at first glance.
In addition, there were piles of experimental data.
It seemed that this was Kabuto Yakushi's own secret laboratory, so there were no other people. They just didn't know where Kabuto Yakushi went in the middle of the night. Did he get wind of it in advance and run away?.
