It was over.
Orochimaru had fled while they were fighting!
Kabuto hadn't noticed Orochimaru's sudden escape either.
After all, facing two Hokage... they had to stay on guard. How could they spare any attention for Orochimaru?
Although he had secretly asked Obito to use his ability for a sneak attack, it had been intercepted by the Second Hokage, who could also use Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Orochimaru was an extremely cautious guy~
And when facing the First and Second Hokage, if they couldn't capture Orochimaru immediately, it would be impossible to succeed afterward!
Therefore.
The mission had failed!
Kabuto sighed regretfully to himself and shook his head.
What a shame~
They were all comrades, yet they had still let him get away?!
"Mission failure is nothing to a ninja. As long as you're alive, there's hope!" As if he had noticed Kabuto's regret, Tobirama Senju snorted and said calmly, "This isn't your fault! Stopping my brother and me isn't so easy!"
"Hahaha, sorry for causing you trouble!"
"And that Monkey, honestly. He caused this mess himself, yet he made others clean it up?" Tobirama Senju crossed his arms, his face dark as he said with some displeasure, "That rogue ninja called Orochimaru must not be underestimated! Hmph! If I weren't being restrained, I would personally clean house for Monkey. And Monkey himself... needs a harsh lesson too. How could he raise such a disciple?"
As he spoke, he seemed somewhat regretful and shook his head.
"What a pity~, now my brother and I..."
However.
Before he could finish.
"???"
Kill him?
That wouldn't do~
Kabuto pushed up his glasses, and a sunny yet gentle smile immediately appeared on his face. "First Hokage, Second Hokage, you've already done enough! Leave Lord Orochimaru's matter to us!"
I was planning to capture him alive!
"Konoha...
