Yakushi Kabuto paused slightly, then said, "Impossible. All four of them have decent sensory abilities. If any ninja were following them, they would definitely have noticed."
"The problem isn't with them. It's Sasuke. Chen Fan must have placed a mark on Sasuke. That's how he found me during the Chunin Exam," Orochimaru said.
Yakushi Kabuto narrowed his eyes at Orochimaru's words. Orochimaru had only just obtained this body and would need a long time to adapt to it. With their strength, they were certainly no match for Chen Fan.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. "I'll go, Lord Orochimaru. I'll make sure Lord Orochimaru's vessel arrives safely!" A person then walked in. His skin was deathly pale, and his hair was white as well.
"Kimimaro..." Orochimaru said hoarsely as he looked at him.
Yakushi Kabuto frowned and walked over to Kimimaro. "Why are you up? Your body..."
"My body isn't important. What matters is Lord Orochimaru's new vessel. I know about my illness. It's because of it that I can't become Lord Orochimaru's vessel and repay Lord Orochimaru's kindness. Besides, I don't have much time left. Before I die, I want to do one more thing for Lord Orochimaru. Let me handle this. I'll definitely ensure that Lord Orochimaru's new vessel arrives safely," Kimimaro said, looking seriously at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru rarely showed an expression of pain. Then he said, "Go."
"Yes! Thank you, Lord Orochimaru!" Kimimaro said after bowing deeply to Orochimaru, then turned and left.
Once only Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru remained, Orochimaru said, "Even now, I still believe Kimimaro would have been my best vessel." Regret showed in his eyes.
