"Bai, return to the Land of Rice Fields base. I'll follow not far behind you to figure out what happened. Remember not to reveal my presence!"
"Yes, Lord... Uchiha Un-chidori!"
Bai had no doubts. Although Orochimaru's appearance had drastically changed, and even his Chakra signature was very different, Bai didn't question it for a moment.
He immediately followed Orochimaru's instructions and quickly left the area.
After Bai had been gone for a while, Orochimaru (Uchiha Un-chidori) also disappeared.
Konoha Village.
When Kabuto saw Orochimaru after Shisui had dropped him off, he was actually extremely confused.
Everything was arranged?
How come I don't know!
Lord Yuuki, you never mentioned this to me, did you?
"Kabuto-kun, you seem very surprised to see me?" Orochimaru asked with a smile.
No matter how confused he was, Kabuto had to keep up appearances, so he also replied with a smile.
"Indeed, I didn't expect Lord Yuuki to act so quickly. Senior Orochimaru, please wait here for a moment. I will immediately arrange the follow-up matters."
After speaking, Kabuto left Orochimaru alone in the room and went to a room filled with sealing barriers. He used Summoning Jutsu to ask Yuuki about the situation.
As a talent favored and heavily nurtured by Yuuki, Kabuto had naturally signed a contract with the Ninja Cat Clan.
As the Uchiha Clan's summoned creatures, they might not be as powerful and versatile as the Three Great Sacred Lands, capable of using Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon their contractors.
However, they could still use Reverse Summoning Jutsu on their own clan members, which was extremely convenient for transmitting information.
Compared to ordinary or wild summoned beasts that are not part of a clan, their functionality was still very strong.
Kabuto quickly received Yuuki's reply, which gave him two additional tasks.
One was to settle Orochimaru, stating that he could be absolutely trusted, but at the same time, he needed to ensure Orochimaru's identity was not exposed.
The second was to use 'Heavenly Eye' to monitor the sea between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Iron, to see if he could find any traces of the Eight-Tails.
Having received his instructions, Kabuto quickly understood what to do.
Kabuto first prepared a hooded robe for Orochimaru, then led Orochimaru to a basement in the experimental building.
Here, a large group of experimental subjects were well-fed and provided for. They were all civilians, not Ninja.
They had all been transferred from the Military Police Force prison, mostly bandits and robbers.
The Land of Fire was not much safer than other countries; bandits and robbers were wiped out in batches, only to be quickly replaced by new ones.
Just like leeks, they were cut down one crop after another.
The nobles led by the Daimyo treated the common people as leeks, using high taxes as scythes to harvest them repeatedly.
There were always those who couldn't bear it or couldn't survive and became outlaws.
At this point, Ninja led by the Kage appeared, treating bandits and robbers as leeks, with the Ninja's extraordinary martial power serving as scythes to harvest them repeatedly.
Naturally, there were Ninja among the bandits and robbers, but as Ninja, they did not receive the treatment of entering prison. The dissection tables of hospitals and experimental buildings were the fate of those Ninja.
The bandits in Konoha's prison received quite good treatment throughout the Ninja World, ever since Yuuki took office.
Many experiments required the cooperation of the subjects. There were no people who truly had no attachments; with attachments, they could be exploited.
Money could solve most problems. Given enough money, these bandits and robbers, knowing they were doomed, eagerly and willingly became experimental subjects.
Kabuto brought Orochimaru here, naturally not to select experimental subjects.
From the intelligence provided by Yuuki, Kabuto knew that Orochimaru possessed the Face Copying Jutsu, so he was naturally providing Orochimaru with a disguise.
"Senior Orochimaru, choose a skin from these!" Kabuto said with an innocent smile, uttering extremely cruel words.
Orochimaru, however, refused directly with a look of pity and reluctance.
"Kabuto-kun, there's no need for this. I'll just make some minor modifications to myself. Let's not use a cruel Jutsu like Face Copying!"
