Yakushi Kabuto's disguise was highly successful.
Tsurugi Misumi and Akado Yoroi both thought he was a useless person.
The two often hung around Kabuto, acting like big brothers who had his back.
But Kabuto knew exactly what they were thinking.
They were constantly gathering intelligence on Konoha, then finding a suitable opportunity every so often to hand it over to Orochimaru.
Exposing them would bring Kabuto no benefits.
So...
This strange relationship between the three of them continued.
Spies... had to be trained from childhood.
And Konoha happened to have many children serving as spies for various factions.
"I think Uchiha Izumi is a genius, Junior."
Yakushi Kabuto stared at Uchiha Izumi's back.
He intentionally guided the conversation in that direction.
If Orochimaru thought Uchiha Izumi had potential...
They could find a way to invite "her" over, and then have Lord Orochimaru make a move to save her...
That was what Yakushi Kabuto had in mind.
But unfortunately...
Akado Yoroi and Tsurugi Misumi seemed to be extremely jealous.
The two could not tolerate anyone more capable than themselves.
They were wholeheartedly focused on showing off in front of Orochimaru.
Therefore...
There was some concealment...
For example, the two of them simply never told Orochimaru anything about Uchiha Izumi.
That was rather amusing.
In terms of talent...
Kabuto believed...
Uchiha Izumi was no less gifted than Uchiha Itachi.
After all, Uchiha Itachi was already seven years old and still had not awakened his Sharingan.
Yet when Uchiha Izumi was five, she had already awakened her clan's Kekkei Genkai.
After half a day at the Ninja Academy, lunchtime arrived.
Uchiha Izumi did as usual.
She prepared to follow the route home to the Uchiha Clan settlement.
Ever since the Nine-Tails' Rampage...
She and her mother had returned to the Uchiha Clan.
