By Shisui's true intentions, he wanted to kill Orochimaru outright.
After all, Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization, had also ordered Orochimaru's elimination.
Furthermore, Orochimaru had targeted the Uchiha Clan time and again. He had even ambushed Shisui himself. How could Shisui possibly want Orochimaru to keep living?
Lastly, Orochimaru was an S-rank rogue ninja from Konoha. Shisui had every reason to deal with him.
From the perspectives of the village, the Uchiha Clan, and the Akatsuki Organization, killing Orochimaru was the best choice.
However, given the current situation, he could not do that!
Before Orochimaru had intervened, Kakashi and the others had been at a disadvantage.
And after Orochimaru appeared, he had targeted the Akatsuki Organization.
That made Orochimaru a temporary ally of Kakashi's group of four.
From that standpoint, Shisui could only suppress the urge to go all out against Orochimaru.
That was why Shisui was so conflicted now.
Forget it. Next time! If I kill Orochimaru now, Kakashi and the others will be in danger. Better leave him to keep Sasori and Deidara in check.
After struggling internally several times, Shisui ultimately abandoned the thought of going all out against Orochimaru.
Since Sasori doesn't get along with Kakashi or Orochimaru, leaving Orochimaru alive can also redirect Sasori's hatred away from Kakashi.
That was what Shisui was thinking.
"Orochimaru is mine. You two don't have any objections, do you?"
At that moment, Sasori suddenly spoke with a gloomy expression.
Though phrased as a question, his words carried a tone that allowed no dispute.
The official members of the Akatsuki Organization did not rank above or below one another.
But at this moment, knowing Sasori was furious, neither Shisui nor Deidara intended to contradict him.
Seeing that Deidara and Shisui had tacitly agreed, Sasori was fairly satisfied.
