The sky was exceptionally clear after the rain, and the sun shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow. Itachi and Kisame walked side by side and continued to move forward in this dense forest. Their destination was still there.

It's very far away, but as long as each other is by your side, this journey is destined not to be lonely. The friendship and understanding between them will continue to deepen and sublimate through this adventure and challenge.

At the same time, in another place far away from Itachi and Kisame, Orochimaru's base was hidden in silence and desolation. This land was completely different from the vitality elsewhere. It seemed to be shrouded by some dark force, and not a single blade of grass grew.

The trees were dry and dry, and even the sky looked hazy and oppressive, with no trace of blue in sight.

Here, the songs of birds are a luxury product, and the shadows of flying birds are rare guests. It is so quiet that you can only hear the occasional whistling of the wind passing through the dry branches, just like the unpredictability of the ancient mountains. The clouds on the zenith move at an unusual speed.

It seems to indicate some kind of coming storm.

In the center of this desolate land, under an inconspicuous gray earth rock wall, the entrance to Orochimaru's base is hidden. It is a secret door that is almost integrated with the rock wall. Without the guidance of an insider, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to discover it.

.

Sasuke gently pushed open the secret door, and a blast of cold air hit his face. When he stepped inside, his eyes suddenly became dark. Although there were candles lit on both sides of the aisle, the weak firelight seemed so small in the seemingly endless darkness.

Can illuminate a small area.

The walls on both sides of the walkway are covered with stripes that seem chaotic but imply regularity. These stripes are criss-crossed, as if telling some ancient and mysterious language. They shine with a deep light in the dim candlelight, giving people a

An inexplicable sense of depression.

Sasuke's footsteps echoed in the deserted corridor, "Ta, Ta..." Each sound was like a knock deep in the soul, causing ripples. He had spent more than two years here.

For months, every day was immersed in deep darkness and endless silence.

He is now walking in the dark corridor of Orochimaru base, his expression looks peaceful, but his heart is full of complex emotions. This home that once belonged to him has now become a place where he pursues power. This change makes him

I can't help but feel a little emotional.

Suddenly, another set of footsteps came from the front, breaking the silence in the corridor. Sasuke raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he seemed to have no intention of stopping. His current mentality has undergone a huge change, and he will no longer do it for

Anyone who restrains himself has only one goal - to pursue greater power.

"Ah——, isn't this Sasuke?" A long-drawn tone sounded in the corridor, with a hint of yin and yang in the voice. Sasuke frowned and looked at the source of the sound. A white figure gradually appeared in his sight.

, that was the outfit he wore in Konoha, but the Konoha ninja forehead protector was missing on his forehead, replaced by a conspicuous scar. Under the reflective round lenses, a pair of eyes were looking at Sasuke with interest.

This person is none other than Kabuto Yakushi.

Sasuke didn't even stop. His body kept its original rhythm and continued to move forward without looking away. He didn't respond to Yakushi Kabuto's words, as if he regarded the other person as air. The moment they passed each other, their gazes

They meet, but quickly diverge.

It was obvious that Sasuke didn't want to give the pharmacist any face.

Kabuto Yakushi didn't seem to care about Sasuke's indifferent attitude. He adjusted his glasses with one hand and an elusive smile appeared on his face. This smile contained too many dangerous contents, as if foreshadowing some conspiracy.

Coming soon.

"Why, our Sasuke-sama is quite arrogant, is he stingy even when he says hello to others?" Kabuto Yakushi's tone sounded normal, even with a hint of ridicule, "In this case, will

It bothers me very much.”

Sasuke still didn't respond, but something stirred in his heart. He knew very well that Yakushi Kabuto's castle was extremely deep, which he was far beyond. However, he did not want to be affected by the other person's words, let alone get involved.

In the unnecessary fight, he now just wants to pursue his own path of strength wholeheartedly.
