Uchiha Yan explained softly, "We need a Sensory Ninja to find Orochimaru's trail. As for fighting strength, I'll ask Senior Nagato or Lord Jiraiya to help. That won't be a problem.
We also need Orochimaru's help finding Madara Uchiha. If we send Shisui, he definitely won't come out."
"True! Then have a Ninja Cat notify Jiraiya. I'll give him a heads-up too."
"Yes!"
Before leaving, Uchiha Yan glanced at Danzo. Seeing his thoughtful expression, he knew his plan had been right.
Once he left the Hokage Building, Uchiha Yan headed for the Naka River.
"Senior Zetsu! Senior, are you still here? Hurry up and come out!"
"Senior Zetsu!"
"..."
Underground, the two White Zetsu looked speechless. "Was this brat born in the year of the dog? How did he guess we'd still be following him after three years?"
"Who am I supposed to ask? Should we go up?"
"Do we have a choice? What did Black Zetsu and Obito tell us?"
"You go!"
White Zetsu emerged from the ground, exposing only half his head. "Uchiha Yan, what do you want with us?"
"Senior, help me follow the Root ninja. Root's headquarters is in the Forest of Death.
This Root ninja will set out today. If you encounter any snakes along the way, mark the location for me. I need to find Orochimaru."
"We've searched for ages without finding him. How could you possibly find him?"
Uchiha Yan looked confident. "By tonight at the latest, Root ninja will go looking for Orochimaru. Senior, trust me.
Watch for snakes appearing every so often along the way. If you see them, Orochimaru must be nearby.
If there aren't any, there's no need to keep following. You have so many clones, senior. Send a few more. I'm afraid Danzo will also send extra people
