Morning always comes with the coldest breath. Before the first ray of sunshine shines on the ground, the entire earth is the coldest moment.
According to the previous plan, everyone woke up before dawn. After confirming the plan steps for the last time, Kakashi instantly turned into the appearance of a scorpion. With He Ying's confirmation, he successfully imitated the scorpion's voice. After the transformation, the scorpion walked closer to Earth Bridge.
"You three are waiting here. Remember, there is no signal and you are absolutely not allowed to come out privately. Do you hear me?" Ueno Kei said in a deep voice, his eyes focusing on Sai and Naruto for a moment. "Especially you, Naruto, must calm down, do you hear me!?"
"Yes, Brother Qi, I understand." After being glared at by Ueno Kei, Naruto immediately shrank his head subconsciously and replied in a slightly unconvinced tone, but Sai still had a smile on his face, looked at Ueno Kei, nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I understand, Master Qi!"
Sakura naturally agreed to Ueno Kei's order unconditionally, although she was as excited as Naruto. After all, as long as they got the information they wanted from Kabuto, they would most likely be able to obtain the current location of Sasuke. In this case, Sakura and Naruto would be able to meet Sasuke after three years.
Of course, Haruno Sakura is relatively rational and can restrain his inner emotions, so relatively speaking, he may appear calmer than Naruto. Ueno Kei nodded slightly, and also motioned to Sakura with his eyes, asking her to pay attention to Sai and Naruto.
Sakura naturally understood the meaning of the difference, and she nodded invisibly to show that she understood.
Ueno Kei twisted his hands Hand Seals, and the figure disappeared from the spot. Ueno Kei was going to another place to monitor in case there was any special situation, so he had to be closer to the scene. Naturally, it would be too easy to conceal himself from being discovered with Ueno Kei's ability, but Naruto and Sakura would definitely not be able to do it.
Therefore, the location where the three people were hidden could only barely see Earth Bridge. You could vaguely see the blurry appearance of the scorpion that Kakashi turned into on the bridge, which was just a rough idea. It can be seen how far away the three people were hidden. This distance can make it impossible for people who are not sentient ninjas or whose strength does not reach Kage Level or above.
After all, Kabuto's strength is considered to be close to that of Kage Level, so he is not wrong at all.
Once Kabuto discovers Sakura and Naruto in advance, all previous efforts will be wasted. It's not that Kabuto won't be captured, but that Kabuto won't be able to willingly reveal all the information he knows.
Moreover, undercover characters like this must have suicide methods to prevent themselves from being caught. Ueno Kei does not want to alert the snake and greatly reduce the available information, which would be more than worth the gain.
After Ueno Kei lowered his aura to the lowest level and became almost invisible, he came to a place not far from the scorpion transformed by Kakashi. Even from this distance, Ueno Kei could feel the breathing sound of Kakashi.
Time gradually passed, and the appointed time was about to arrive, but Kabuto still did not appear. The Scorpion transformed by Kakashi did not show any impatience, lying in the center of the bridge with a very calm expression, looking at the other end of the bridge with cold eyes, while Ueno Kei was naturally more indifferent, sitting cross-legged on the ground and waiting quietly.
"Damn it, why haven't you come yet! It's already this time!" But Naruto, Sakura and others in the distance naturally don't have the patience of Ueno Kei and Kakashi. Sakura is better, just with a hint of eagerness on her face, but Naruto behaves as if he can't wait for Kabuto to appear in front of him immediately and give out the information immediately.
Moreover, her mood was still a little unstable. Ying glanced at Naruto worriedly, tugged on Naruto's clothes, and said loudly, "Naruto, have you forgotten what Brother Qi said? Calm down, and what should happen will naturally happen."
"Hmm! Well, I understand." After listening to Sakura's words, Naruto calmed down his impatient heart a little, but the look on his face still betrayed Naruto's mood that he couldn't calm down at all.
Sai on the side glanced at Naruto with a very obscure look, a thoughtful look flashed on his face, and immediately turned his eyes to Sakura, and only glanced past. After all, ninjas are very sensitive to eyes, especially at such a close distance. Of course, Sai can figure out Sakura's attitude. It must be Ueno Kei who told Sakura to stare at him.
However, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Sai's mouth. After all, Sakura was still not as experienced as Sai who came from Root. Although Sakura concealed it well, her eyes and expressions once she had a certain thought were still a little immature compared to a ninja like Sakura who had less than three or four years of ninja experience.
And what about Sai and the others? They have been training at Root since then, and some of them even started performing tasks at the age of five or six. They are comparable to Kakashi back then. Kakashi was also trained at the Ninja Academy at the age of five. started performing tasks after graduation. So in terms of experience and experience, Sakura is definitely not as good as Sai who came out of Root, even though Sakura has been training with Tsunade for more than three years.
This is not due to the gap in qualifications or other aspects, but the difference in what they have seen. The members of Root have seen too much darkness, and in the hearts of the members of Root, all unnecessary feelings Love does not exist, they only have Danzo in their eyes, and they have only one goal in their hearts, which is to complete the orders given by Danzo and complete the tasks they accept, even if this task requires them to give everything.
The three people here each have their own thoughts.
Kakashi and Ueno Kei in front suddenly became energetic. Ueno Kei's nonchalant expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes were fixed on the other side of the bridge.
At this moment, a figure wearing a black trench coat appeared in everyone's eyes. Even Naruto and three other people in the distance could vaguely see it. The joy on Naruto's face could not be concealed in any way, and he almost shouted out excitedly.
Slowly, the figure approached Kakashi on Earth Bridge, and stopped a few steps in front of Kakashi. The person stretched out his hands and slowly took off the hood of the windbreaker, revealing a face that was very familiar to both Kakashi and Ueno Kei.
That's right, it's Kabuto Yakushi! The confidant who was once considered by everyone to be Orochimaru's right-hand man!
"Ah, Mr. Scorpion, long time no see! I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long," Kabuto said with a slight smile, with a hint of respect in his tone.
"Huh, you arrived within the stipulated time. Let's get to the point. Have you brought the information this time?" Kakashi imitated Scorpion's voice. Because Scorpion is essentially a guy who doesn't like to be waited for or wait for others, so Kakashi must imitate this tone. He can't just imitate Scorpion's voice.
ps: Thank you for the reward of Qi Pa Children's Shoes. To be honest, the Earth Bridge incident is just to have a reason for Ueno Kei to reasonably leave Konoha, and to foreshadow the next plot. Well, it is a bit bland, so please forgive me. (To be continued.
