And whenever possible, he would save as many innocent lives as he could.
But Orochimaru had to do such things in secret. After all, his undercover mission came first. If Nagato discovered what he was doing...
Not only would his cover be blown, but Konoha would also face a terrible calamity.
At that thought, Orochimaru stopped dwelling on the matter and dutifully continued his experiments, waiting for Uchiha Yin's next instructions.
Two days passed in a flash. Early that morning, Uchiha Yin accompanied Kurotsuchi to the Training Ground.
Uchiha Yin had been unsure whether to arrive early or late, but Kurotsuchi dragged him off as soon as he finished breakfast.
He had initially looked rather disgruntled, but when Kurotsuchi took the initiative to hold his hand, all the resentment he had felt over the past two days vanished instantly.
After all, he had not seen so much as a glimpse of Kurotsuchi during those two days. Uchiha Yin had assumed she was still angry. He wanted to coax her out of it, but had no idea what to say.
Now she had eagerly prepared breakfast for him first thing in the morning and was holding his hand as they walked together. Surely that meant she was no longer angry.
At that thought, the awkward discomfort in Uchiha Yin's heart eased considerably, and he smiled the whole way there.
But that smile lasted only for the walk. When he reached the Training Ground and saw the scene awaiting him, it gradually faded from his face.
He had assumed that hardly anyone would come to watch such a minor match. At most, he had expected to see Uchiha Mikoto, Anko, and a few others.
To his surprise, when he arrived at the practice arena, he found quite a crowd standing around it.
