Kimimaro heard the door next door close and felt slightly worried.
He wondered about Haku and Lord Natsuki.
Hmm, what exactly was Lord Natsuki thinking?
He stepped outside and paced back and forth in the corridor.
Kimimaro looked around, then could not help but edge closer to the door.
In truth, the sound of the waves was quite loud that night.
Yet Kimimaro still crept closer on tiptoe.
However, Naruto and Sasuke, who had just arrived, spotted Kimimaro's sneaky movements.
"Ah... mmph..." Sasuke covered Naruto's open mouth.
Sasuke held up a finger, and Naruto nodded repeatedly. His curiosity had been thoroughly stirred as well.

Perhaps because it was his first time doing something like this, the nervous Kimimaro did not even realize Naruto and Sasuke had come up behind him.
"Mmph..." Naruto copied Sasuke and covered Kimimaro's mouth.
Kimimaro jumped in fright, nearly unleashing the Dance of the Larch.
Once he saw that it was Naruto and Sasuke, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kimimaro, what are you doing?" Naruto asked in an extremely quiet voice.
Kimimaro looked embarrassed and said nothing. After all, this was not something easy to explain.

Other than Tsunade and her husband, Orochimaru, and Karin, no one else knew.
Although Tsunade was happy to see it happen, she did not know what Natsuki was thinking either.
Before the matter was settled, she had not told anyone else.
Kimimaro's behavior only made Naruto and Sasuke more
