"Come with me. I'll remove your restraints, and Sasori won't be able to control you anymore!" As he spoke, Orochimaru headed deeper into the laboratory.
"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!" Kabuto's face lit up with delight, and he closely followed behind Orochimaru.
To Kabuto, this meant his life would no longer be controlled by others. From now on, he could act according to his own heart.
Meanwhile, Soji had no idea that Orochimaru had already discovered his whereabouts and was preparing to come find him.
"So this is Sunagakure? I really wonder how the people here adapted to this desert environment for so many years. It's far too monotonous!" Standing before Sunagakure's gates, Soji sighed inwardly.
Within a hundred kilometers of Sunagakure, there was practically no other ecosystem to be found besides yellow sand.
"How did a place like this produce a woman like Pakura?" Thinking of his capable subordinate, Soji muttered softly.
To be honest, Pakura was quite beautiful and suited Soji's tastes.
Although Soji had no other thoughts about Pakura, having a beautiful subordinate who was pleasing to the eye was still a kind of enjoyment, wasn't it?
Otherwise, why had there been so many beautiful women working as secretaries in his previous life?
Ahem. After all, when there was work, the secretary worked; when there wasn't, well... you know.
And to Soji, Pakura was essentially his secretary as well.
Therefore, although Soji had the identity of Mizuki Ember and had a good relationship with the Kaguya Clan, over in the Land of Snow, aside from his future father-in-law Kazahana Sōsetsu and his little fiancée Kazahana Koyuki—
The person Soji trusted most was undoubtedly Pakura, not Mizuki Fuukaze or the brothers Kaguya Sora and Kaguya Mei!
Because to Pakura, Soji and the Land of Snow were already her entire world.
