By the time Xiao Yue found Mito, she had already explained what had happened.
Thus, once the door to the Rebirth Chamber opened, the young Kabuto Yakushi hurried forward. He came to the side of Shin Uchiha's clone, picked him up for examination, and saw two tiny fang marks on his neck, surrounded by green traces.
