"What a pity. I never expected Orochimaru to still escape with a small fragment of his soul!"
After failing to find any trace of Orochimaru despite searching for a long time, Chiyo sighed regretfully.
"Given how cunning Orochimaru is, it's normal that we couldn't find him! Still, he'll never be able to stir up trouble inside my body again!"
It was clear that Sasuke was fairly satisfied with the current outcome.
Even if the remaining fragment of Orochimaru's soul emerged again later, it would no longer be able to cause Sasuke as much trouble as it had today. It would need someone else's help to deal with him.
By then, at most, Orochimaru would only be able to use words to deceive Sasuke. He would no longer be able to influence Sasuke into actively seeking him out.
"Alright, since that's the case, little Sasuke, it's time for me to leave too!"
Seeing Sasuke's smug expression, Chiyo shook her head with an amused smile and turned to leave Sasuke's mindscape.
But Chiyo had barely taken two steps when Sasuke spoke up with a conflicted expression.
"W-Wait!"
There was hesitation in Sasuke's voice.

Those were the two biggest questions in Sasuke's heart right now!
Originally, Sasuke had merely wanted to defeat Chiyo and crush her plans of taking revenge on the Uchiha Clan.
Yet Chiyo had turned around and helped him this time. Unable to suppress his curiosity any longer, Sasuke finally asked.
No matter what, Chiyo had helped him
