## Orochimaru and Kabuto ##
Both of them sensed the Nine-Tails' chakra, and it was not far from them.
"Looks like the Nine-Tails is in the city," Orochimaru said with a smile. "What is he doing, using so much of the Nine-Tails' chakra?"
"Maybe it's Akatsuki. Should we go help?" Kabuto asked.

"Why did you stop running?" Naruto asked.
He calmly walked toward them on all fours.
The two began backing away.
"Play with me for a while," Naruto said, charging at Kisame with astonishing speed.
Naruto swung his
