Then he looked toward Asuma.
"How are things on your side?"
"The ones who came were Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki.
We fought them.
Kakashi was seriously injured.
Later, people from the Black-Clad Organization showed up and helped us out."
Asuma slowly recounted everything that had just happened in detail.
This morning.
He had originally been here guarding Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But he suddenly received word from the Anbu that some villagers had been found under genjutsu.
So.
He went out to investigate with Kurenai.
That was when he encountered Kakashi and discovered the intruders.
"I really didn't expect them to have such an objective."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
"I really don't know whether the appearance of this Black-Clad Organization is a good thing or a bad thing!"
After receiving news that Karin and Izumi had completed their mission perfectly, Bai Hao was in a cheerful mood.
However, that happiness didn't last long.
Sasuke interrupted it.
"Bai Hao, I've decided to leave the village."
Sasuke looked at Bai Hao with a solemn expression as he spoke.
Bai Hao, meanwhile, was somewhat dumbfounded.
He had no idea what was wrong with Uchiha Sasuke.
"What?"

"Why have you suddenly decided to leave Konoha?"
Bai Hao was somewhat puzzled.
Because of his influence, Orochimaru had never successfully planted the Cursed Seal on Sasuke.
Sasuke also had little contact with Orochimaru.
So.
He had no reason to leave Konoha.
"I want to become stronger quickly!"
Sasuke pursed his lips, speaking with a determined expression.
"So, I want to go out and look for White Zetsu!"
"..."
Bai Hao was rendered speechless when he heard this.
He had casually spouted some nonsense, and Uchiha Sasuke had actually taken it seriously!
