In controlling such a large plan, Kabuto Yakushi was also very cautious. Fortunately, he discovered the trace of the Three-Tailed Fox very early and had specific plans and arrangements.

Although we cannot fully utilize the value of Sanwei Isobu this time, we can still achieve good results.

Having stayed by Orochimaru's side recently, Kabuto Yakushi could clearly feel that his master's body was slowly losing vitality.

Pharmacist Kabuto understood that he didn't have much time left.

If Uchiha Sasuke is still not captured this time, which body will be the spare one?

"If Orochimaru-sama didn't hide another soul container, I would be the next one!"

Pharmacist Kabuto, who is very self-aware, knows very well that his physical condition was not very good in the past.

Although he is young and powerful, the hardships he experienced in his childhood and the various drug experiments during his growth period have overdrawn his body's potential and left him with many hidden injuries.

At that time, Kabuto Yakushi's body was not a very qualified soul container, and was not even as good as those lucky ones who survived the bloody battle.

Strictly speaking, although it also met Orochimaru's requirements, it was only a choice made out of necessity.

After practicing the Sage Mode, everything changed.

Senjutsu Chakra subtly changes the state of the body. Although the natural energy has a strong corrosive ability, it is also an extremely good external repair force.

The danger endured by the soul is exchanged for the overall improvement of the physical condition. Although the effect is not as obvious as that of practicing Qigong to cultivate immortals, at least one can be called an "immortal". The body that has been baptized by natural energy and immortal chakra has been greatly improved.

The pros and cons here, and whether it is worthwhile or not, depends on the individual.

Mizuki has already found a way to resist the damage, so it doesn't matter to him, but Kabuto Yakushi is in a difficult situation.

At the same time, a new possibility arose due to Kabuto Yakushi's situation.

With good physical condition, flawed spiritual cultivation, and decent strength, he is simply a ready-made soul container. It is impossible for Orochimaru not to be tempted.

If it was just a competition of ninjutsu, Kabuto Yakushi would have a good chance of escaping, but resisting the Reincarnation of the Living Corpse requires the power of the soul. With Kabuto Yakushi's current mental state, he would definitely die.

Unless Orochimaru is killed before the Reincarnation of the Dead is activated, it will be dangerous.

What's more troublesome is that Kabuto Yakushi still needs Orochimaru to be alive to relieve his mental burden.

And deep down, Kabuto Yakushi didn't really want to rebel against Orochimaru.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, if Orochimaru really needed Kabuto Yakushi's body, he might be willing to give it up.

The inertia of thinking formed over the years cannot be changed in a short period of time.

Since he was unwilling to give in, Kabuto Yakushi would naturally take Uchiha Sasuke's matter to heart. If he could get things done well, he would be able to get the best of both worlds.

Of course, there is also a small probability that it will not attract enough attention and there will be no way to successfully capture Uchiha Sasuke.

Even so, Yakushi Kabuto is not without a backup plan. As long as he releases some more explosive news, people will naturally fall into the trap.

“I can’t wait any longer!”

Kabuto Yakushi pushed a cart full of medicines towards the stone chamber where Orochimaru was resting. Orochimaru now needed external means to temporarily relieve his physical abnormalities and could no longer exert his full strength.

At this point, Kabuto Yakushi felt somewhat disapproving and even a little surprised that Orochimaru still placed his hopes on Uchiha Sasuke, but he did not ask any further questions.

"Perhaps, Lord Orochimaru has another plan."

As an assistant and executor, Kabuto Yakushi is qualified, but he is merely a qualified tool, not an explorer who is brave enough to overcome difficulties and create a new era.

Kabuto Yakushi himself understands this, which is why he entrusts his fate to Orochimaru.

…

At the same time, Hoshigaki Kisame and Uchiha Itachi, who were walking on the road to the Land of Grass from the distant Land of Birds, gradually increased their speed.

"The Three-Tails should have been the mission of Deidara and Sasori, but I didn't expect that we would have to catch it in the end!"

It has been a long time since I last took action against the Five-Tails Jinchuriki.

The two men, who were both trying to make money, had been traveling around various war-torn countries to reap the money.

"Those two guys died very easily, but they caused us so much trouble!"

There was some displeasure in his tone, but in fact, Hoshigaki Kisame did not have any special emotions and continued to complain.

The important mission that had not come for a long time gave Hoshigaki Kisame some long-lost excitement.

"It looks like a trap. I don't know who we'll run into there!"

The shark monster is warlike by nature. Although he is a little impulsive and cruel, he is also calm. He is very respectful to Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame who are in similar situations as himself. Although he speaks in a casual manner, he never loses his manners.

"It is indeed a trap, but it is true that there is a tailed beast there. The rest are just small matters and insignificant."

Only those who have sufficient strength and confidence can overcome all obstacles and achieve their goals.

As for traps and calculations, Uchiha Itachi was no stranger to them, but this time it was obviously an exploit with ulterior motives. Since everyone had their own ulterior motives, those who were too thoughtful would probably find it difficult to achieve very good results. It would be better to use force to defeat the enemy directly and wipe out all the enemies.

"Since you said so, I naturally have no objection. Let's talk about it when we get there."

Although Hoshigaki Kisame has been through many battles, due to his great strength, he rarely finds himself in a situation where he is at a loss. When he was capturing the Five-tailed Jinchuriki, he was unable to use his strength because Mizuki could fly, and his water jutsu could not hit targets in the air.

The last time he used the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals to seal the Seven-Tailed Fox, Hoshigaki Kisame only had an avatar of the Elephant Transfer Technique present, and was completely helpless.

Without the main body, it is too difficult to deal with the enemy who spreads high-temperature lava all over the map and takes advantage of the time and location.

There were so many people from the organization present, but in the end they ended up fleeing in embarrassment.

"It would be great if everything goes smoothly this time. By the way, it seems that Orochimaru is also nearby. Is this guy also involved? Maybe we can kill him and complete the leader's mission."

"If I could meet him..."

"Itachi, you're so motivated, and that gives me more confidence!"

The strength of the partners around him must be strong. As long as they pay a little attention, there is no place in the ninja world that they cannot go.
