"Pursuing them... they're actually very likely hiding within the Land of Earth or the Land of Lightning."
Orochimaru shook his head, not particularly optimistic about Ning Feng's pursuit.
"But... we can take the opportunity to root out the planted agents in the Land of Rain."
Ning Feng nodded. He did not think Madara Uchiha and Kabuto Yakushi would be bold enough to establish a base within the Land of Rain, right under his nose, either.
However, it had been a long time since spies had been purged from the Land of Rain. If they started rooting them out now, quite a few internal problems would probably surface.

"This is Obito Uchiha."

"I hadn't expected the Land of Rain to have been infiltrated to this extent."
Ning Feng gave a bitter chuckle.
Obito had been an expert at infiltration, after all, so investigating the spies who had infiltrated
