Earth Bridge is in the northeast direction of Land of Fire, which can be a relatively close place. The group of Ueno Kei moved forward at an unhurried speed, and arrived at Earth Bridge in less than two days.
There was still one day before the meeting between Xie Suo and Kabuto. At that moment, Ueno Kei and others hid themselves not far away and discussed Ming's plan.
"The time is tomorrow at noon. According to the time of Xie Institute, Kabuto will come to Earth Bridge alone to meet Xie." Haruno Sakura once again told her the information she knew.
"Well, then, the best plan is to first use Transformation Technique to let Kabuto reveal the information he has in his hands, and then use thunderous means to capture Kabuto. After that, see if we can find the nearest Orochimaru's secret base and search Orochimaru and Sasuke." Kakashi followed Sakura's words.
"Sai, what do you think?" Ueno Kei suddenly said, turning the conversation directly to the fair-faced and handsome boy from Root who was always smiling. And with Ueno Kei's words, everyone's eyes also turned to the boy named Sai.
After Sai heard Ueno Kei's question, he was stunned for a moment. Of course, it was only a short moment. Except for Ueno Kei and Kakashi, neither Naruto nor Sakura felt anything.
Sai came back to his senses in an instant, and said with a respectful smile, "Everything must be obeyed by Master Qi and Senior Kakashi. This is the order given to me by Master Danzo."
Sai's words revealed an extremely respectful and respectful tone, as if everything was really obeying the orders of Kakashi and Ueno Kei, Ueno Kei's eyes narrowed slightly. To be fair, according to Ueno Kei's estimation, Sai's strength is at most a special strength, and may only be around the strength of elite Chunin.
Of course, even if I haven't seen him take action personally, I still don't know clearly. I just don't know if he has any special abilities. If Danzo sends Sai here, there must be some purpose and special task entrusted to him. If not, even Ueno Kei wouldn't believe it even if he killed him.
Before, Ueno Kei had doubted whether Sai was the spy sent by Danzo to contact Orochimaru, taking advantage of such an excellent opportunity, but later it was revealed by Ueno Kei rejected it. After all, with him and Kakashi here, Ueno Kei really didn't believe that there was any chance that Sai would come into contact with Orochimaru without being discovered by himself and others.
Once caught by Ueno Kei, although it is impossible for the members of Root to betray Danzo because of Sealing Jutsu, the core and purpose of the mission will definitely be known to Ueno Kei and others, so naturally Ueno Kei gave up the idea. Of course, it was just that the idea became much weaker. It was not a complete rejection. After all, who can guarantee that this guy named Sai has any special means to hide the contact between Kakashi, Ueno Kei and Orochimaru?
Then there are two possibilities left, which is to choose one of the two. First, Sai is just a smoke bomb sent by Danzo. Danzo himself has other purposes. Second, Danzo really has no conspiracy, it just sends a member to monitor the actions of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, that is, Naruto, so that information can be fed back to Root and handed over to Danzo at any time.
Ueno Kei would never know that Danzo's plan had three levels of purpose. By the time Ueno Kei clearly understood Danzo's plan later, it had already left indelible and tragic consequences.
And the current Ueno Kei is still testing this boy named Sai.
But no matter how he tried it, this young man seemed to behave like a harmless person.
Ueno Kei and Kakashi made eye contact, Kakashi shook his head slightly, Ueno Kei frowned slightly, and then relaxed, but there was nothing more, after all, Ueno Kei is not Danzo, for no reason, arrested the ninjas in his village and tortured them. Even if he is a member of Root, as long as he does not harm the interests of Konoha, Ueno Kei's bottom line does not allow him to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Therefore, the current situation can only be left alone for now.
"Okay, then that's Ming's plan..." Since Sai has not been able to detect any purpose, we have to take one step at a time and resolve Kabuto's matter first.
After Kakashi and Ueno Kei made the plan clear to Naruto Sakura and others, they let them rest. Tonight, Kakashi and Ueno Kei The two E took turns keeping watch. As for Ming's transformation personnel, it was naturally Kakashi or Ueno Kei. Those three guys probably couldn't hide their figures in front of Kabuto.
After all, no matter what, Kabuto Yakushi can still be an elite jounin. Even the current Ueno Kei cannot capture him without any effort. Of course, even if he captures him, the most likely way is to defeat or kill him. It is still difficult to capture him alive. These jonins whose strength is close to Kage Level all have their own backhand and unique skills.
When Naruto and Jiraiya went to greet Tsunade, Kabuto's strength had been fully proven, and he could compete with Tsunade resisted for several rounds, and although it relied on Tsunade's bloodphobia to gain the upper hand, it was commendable that he could remain undefeated under Tsunade's full attack.
To be fair, if you don't use Mangekyō Sharingan, Kakashi and Kabuto should be about equal. Of course, if you really want to fight, even if you don't use Mangekyō Sharingan, Ueno Kei will think that Kakashi has the most advantages!
The color gradually dimmed. After everyone finished dinner, in order to recharge their batteries for Ming's battle, Naruto and Sakura went to rest early. As for Sai, they also got into the sleeping bag very honestly. After closing their eyes for a while, a distant snore could be heard, as if they were still sleeping very sweetly.
Kakashi stared at Sai lightly.
The look in his eyes was also somewhat incomprehensible, as if he was also wondering what role Sai, the Root member sent by Danzo, played in this mission.
"What do you think? Senior Kakashi." The two of them were watching the surroundings from a tree not far away. Ueno Kei suddenly said.
"I can't tell. Although my age looks similar to Naruto and the others, I am too calm. They are the same as Shikamaru. Is it possible that I am worthy of being from Root?" Kakashi shook his head first, and then said calmly.
"Well, indeed, but no matter what hidden purpose he has, or what secret order Danzo confesses, he will definitely reveal his flaws! By then, hum!" Ueno Kei said in a cold voice with a stern look on his face.
"Well, then I'll leave the night watch to you. I'll take over in the middle of the night." Kakashi yawned and patted Ueno Kei on the shoulder.
"Hmm."
Immediately, Kakashi also got into the sleeping bag. Ueno Kei looked at the cold and bright crescent moon, with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth, revealing a hint of sneer. Ming, it seems to be more interesting... (To be continued.
