Anyo told Yugao every detail of his plan.
After hearing the whole thing, Yugao asked, "So Orochimaru will fight the Third Hokage alone. Who do you think will win?"
"Orochimaru." Anyo answered without hesitation. "Hiruzen Sarutobi is old. He no longer has the strength he had in his youth. Besides, as his student, Orochimaru knows his abilities far too well. There is no doubt about how this battle will end."
"I'm going to kill Orochimaru." Killing intent lurked in Yugao's eyes. She had never forgotten the death of Hayate, her childhood playmate.
Anyo hesitated. Judging by that slash just now, Yugao's current offensive power was already close to Kage Level. In the anime, Orochimaru had lost the use of both arms, so he might genuinely fail to escape Yugao's assassination attempt. But remembering Orochimaru's methods of escaping death, Anyo figured it probably would not be much of a problem.
"Then look for an opportunity yourself." Anyo promptly sold Orochimaru out, then asked in puzzlement, "You're in the Anbu now. Don't you have to follow Sarutobi's orders?"
Yugao said uncertainly, "I don't know if it's because of my relationship with you, but the Third Hokage has kept his distance from me. He rarely even assigns me missions. I've spent all my free time these past few years practicing swordsmanship."
Anyo understood. His unexplained disappearance had probably left Sarutobi baffled. Keeping Yugao in the Anbu was likely also a way to monitor her and see whether he could find Anyo through her.
"That's normal, too. The Anbu are the Kage's core force. An Anbu member who can't be trusted completely is better off not being there at all. I've dragged you into this."
Yugao shook her head. "I wanted to join the Anbu because you were there. I've been waiting for you
