"Eh? Could this guy be a Konoha ninja?"
Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out from behind Kabuto.
Kabuto's expression changed the moment he heard that!
As he turned his head, his body tensed defensively, and he instantly flashed backward from where he stood!
When he landed, a trace of lingering alarm remained on his face beneath the mask as he thought in shock.
When did this guy... appear!?
At that moment, Kabuto stared solemnly through his mask at the two figures who had appeared not far in front of him.
They were none other than Uchiha Clan Sasuke and Fu Ryosuke, who had left the Hollow Spirit Empire.
Fu Ryosuke wore a curious expression, one arm casually draped over a tree trunk as his body hung from it with complete ease.
On the tree trunk beside him, Sasuke, wrapped in a black robe, slowly emerged from behind it. He glanced at Kabuto, who wore a White Tiger mask, and said coldly.
"He's a Konoha Anbu ninja. He's irrelevant..."
"Thud!"
After hearing Sasuke's words, Fu Ryosuke released his grip and dropped straight down onto the thick branch below.
His freckled face lit up with excitement as he looked at Kabuto, then turned to Sasuke and said.
"So this is Konoha's Anbu? He looks pretty strong. Um... Sasuke, are you going to deal with him?"
Sasuke had no intention of responding. He slowly drew a sharp blade from behind his back.
Fu Ryosuke could not help giving Kabuto a regretful glance, muttering quietly.
"Looks like he's really angry. I'd better not provoke him right now..."
Across from them, Kabuto's face was tense beneath his mask. His eyes remained fixed unblinkingly on Sasuke, yet his heart was filled with astonishment.
What is this... this intimidating aura coming from Sasuke!?
What has this child...
