You Even Want the Dead?

"No, the fact that the Akatsuki Organization came looking for me wasn't even mentioned. How could Kanami have known about this beforehand when I didn't even know it..."

Orochimaru walked towards the Underground Room, his eyes gradually flickering slightly.

"If that Masked Man Tobi looking for me, then it will already be considered that his prediction has come true in one aspect."

"If they later discuss the Impure World Reincarnation as a condition for cooperation, then it can be considered the second layer of the prophecy's success."

"As for the third layer... Madara Uchiha's identity... Tobi also knows that I am a former member of Akatsuki Organization. Logically speaking, he couldn't have impersonated someone else to approach me. He understands that I must know something about him as well."

He walked and pondered, but he still couldn't understand the fact that he was carrying the identity of Madara Uchiha.

However, he was certain that given such an illogical situation, if Kanami's guess was correct, it would further prove that he might indeed possess the ability to foresee the future.

Although he found such an ability utterly unbelievable.

"Pat-pat..."

The footsteps faded as Orochimaru gradually entered the Secret Base Underground Room.

"Lord Orochimaru."

As soon as he entered a room, a white-haired man wearing glasses greeted him politely.

"Pocket, we need to find a new container."

Kabuto Yakushi, puzzled, "Where's Kurenai?"

"Kurenai is dead."

"How could this be? Her Kekkei Genkai incredibly strong. She was killed just because she went to scout the location for you beforehand...?"

"Yeah, don't ask about the specifics. The person who killed her could easily kill us too."

Orochimaru sensed that Kabuto Yakushi wanted to know who killed Kurenai, so he spoke up.

This directly stopped Kabuto Yakushi from thinking about the problem.

But after he said that, Kabuto Yakushi became even more curious. He had only wanted to know before, but now he really wanted to know.

You could kill me easily, but you could even kill Lord Orochimaru so easily?

Who could this person be?

And who exactly would come to Sound Village at this time?

The Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his round-framed glasses.

However, he didn't ask aloud, since Orochimaru had already told him not to.

If he were to ask about Orochimaru's personality, he couldn't guarantee that Orochimaru wouldn't take action against him.

"By the way, Kabuto, you should prepare to head to Ryūchi Cave."

Orochimaru suddenly had an idea.

Upon hearing Kabuto Yakushi's tone was clearly excited. "Lord Orochimaru, can I really do it?"

"Who knows? Didn't you want to find your true self? I do have some connection with the snakes in Ryūchi Cave, at least enough to ensure you can find the entrance to Ryūchi Cave."

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru. I shall take my leave now."

"Well, go ahead. If you can truly attain the Sage Body, perhaps you could become the most suitable vessel for me."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru, it would be an immense honor for me to become your vessel."

The Kabuto Yakushi his Temari.

Orochimaru waved his hand in acknowledgment.

Then Kabuto Yakushi left the room.

Orochimaru himself didn't go to Ryūchi Cave mainly because he wasn't accepted by the community.

Although his Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu involves changing the container every few years, it seems to perfectly match the habits of a snake, much like shedding its skin.

However, it was precisely because of his Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu that he was not recognized by the White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave.

The White Snake Sage is the most outstanding being in Ryūchi Cave.

If we consider it as one of the other Three Great Sage Lands...

His status is equivalent to that of the Great Toad Sage and the Slug Sage.

Therefore, if the White Snake Sage disagrees, Orochimaru will have no way to continue his Senjutsu training in Ryūchi Cave for an extended period.

As for the situation where Kabuto Yakushi doesn't have Orochimaru...

Therefore, compared to Orochimaru, he still has a much higher probability of being able to enter Ryūchi Cave.

Orochimaru had once found the entrance to Ryūchi Cave, but unfortunately he was unable to enter it.

"Kabuto, I hope you won't let me down."

In the dimly lit room, Orochimaru's gaze was intense, and the surrounding green and dark-toned instruments made him appear eerily strange.

Konoha Village.

Not long after, Kanami returned to Konoha Village.

Compared to the half-day it took to get to Shadow Village this time, the speed was much faster.

Of course, it's only a fraction of the way there is; this is theoretically the fastest travel speed in the entire Shinobi World.

After returning home, Kanami placed the Kurenai he had been carrying on his back in his bedroom.

After he left, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't taken Kurenai's body with him, so he went back and carried it on his back.

After all, it is a Kekkei Genkai; if he doesn't take it back, then Obito Uchiha Akatsuki Organization will take it back.

However, just as he placed the Kurenai in the bedroom, the Two-Tails Matatabi walked in.

"Kanami, why... why did you bring a woman back?"

She had sensed something slightly different about Kanami earlier, so she came over to take a look.

You won't be surprised if you don't look, because once you do, you'll be shocked.

He actually brought a woman back with him.

If Hinata Hyuga found out, this family would fall apart immediately.

Aren't you afraid Hinata will find out?

Matatabi glanced at Kanami and the woman lying down.

In her memory, Kanami wasn't that kind of person, but the facts were undeniable.

Facts speak louder than words; she herself didn't know how to find a reason or excuse for Kanami.

Kanami raised an eyebrow; he understood the implication in Matatabi's words.

So they're treating me like the kind of man who brings his mistress home.

"No, even if he really is a scumbag, no idiot would bring his mistress home, right?"

Instead of getting angry, he laughed and asked in return.

Matatabi:...

"How would I know? I'm not human, I can't understand your behavior. Maybe you're just the kind of person who likes thrills."

Her words clearly contained dissatisfaction.

"I didn't expect that, Matatabi, your relationship with Hinata Hyuga has become this good?"

Kanami's lips curled slightly, a smile playing on his face.

He was only in Hinata Hyuga's belly for two or three days, four or five days, and his attitude changed so quickly?

"I just feel sad for Hinata- san; such a kind girl shouldn't be treated like this."

"You know it all, do you think I don't?" Kanami waved his hand. "Alright, alright, I'm not arguing with you anymore. Didn't you realize she's a dead person?"

dead?

Matatabi was stunned for a moment. After taking a few steps closer, he realized that the other person was indeed dead. He wasn't breathing at all, and his chest wasn't rising or falling.

"No wonder I felt something was off before, it turns out it was a dead person..."

She murmured softly.

Kanami: "How could I possibly betray Hinata?"

Matatabi looked Kurenai up and down and said, "You even bring dead people home. Compared to Hinata, she doesn't seem to have any advantage."

Kanami:???
