Chapter 94 Tsunade
Kabuto asked, "Is that Uchiha Itachi really that strong?"
Orochimaru's voice was heavy as he recalled his duel with Itachi Uchiha, a battle that made him deeply aware of his own inadequacy.
"Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan could see through my every move and every intention. I was utterly defeated that time, but it made me develop an uncontrollable desire for the power of the Sharingan."
Orochimaru then laughed, "Soon I will be able to obtain Sasuke's body. Uchiha Itachi, what I cannot get from you, your younger brother will make up for... Hehehehe." He had already foreseen the moment when his plan would succeed.
After a burst of maniacal laughter, Orochimaru's laughter gradually subsided, and his expression returned to calm, but a fanatical light shone in his eyes.
He picked up a bottle from the table. The bottle was transparent and contained some black pills, the result of his recent research.
Orochimaru held the bottle up to his eyes and examined it closely. His long, sharp pupils, like those of a snake, were reflected in the bottle.
Orochimaru's tone turned serious. He said to Kabuto in a deep voice, "Is the mind-reading technique I asked you to prepare ready?" His eyes were fixed on Kabuto, as this mind-reading technique was a key part of his next plan.
Kabuto Yakushi gently pushed up his glasses, a confident smile playing on his lips. He replied, "Yes, Lord Orochimaru, I went to great lengths to obtain this ninjutsu."
Orochimaru nodded in satisfaction: "You did a great job, Kabuto. We'll be able to use this ninjutsu very soon..."
Immediately afterward, a look of curiosity appeared in Kabuto's eyes: "Lord Orochimaru, are you finally going to make your move against that guy?"
Orochimaru nodded and said, "There are some things that concern me and I need to confirm. The cursed seal I extracted has no effect on him at all."
Kabuto nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to Orochimaru, saying, "Oh, right, Lord Orochimaru, Naruto and Jiraiya have gone to the outskirts of Konoha to find the Fifth Hokage."
Orochimaru showed a hint of surprise on his face after hearing Kabuto's report.
The Third Hokage's retirement was expected, but no one expected that the Fifth Hokage would be chosen so quickly, and that it wouldn't be Jiraiya.
Then, he thought about Jiraiya's personality and style of doing things, and he understood the reason.
Furthermore, since they still need to leave the village to find a candidate for Hokage, then Jiraiya's choice for the Fifth Hokage is undoubtedly Tsunade.
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow slightly and turned to Kabuto Yakushi, asking, "Where did Jiraiya and the others go?"
Kabuto Yakushi was somewhat surprised, but still replied, "We don't know where they're going yet, but they're starting from Shukuba-cho. Lord Orochimaru, are you planning to get involved?"
Orochimaru chuckled lightly and said mockingly, "Since it's a gathering of the Three Legendary Sannin, how could I be absent...?"
A playful smile appeared on Kabuto's face. He understood Orochimaru's intention: "Then, is there anything I need to prepare for you?"
Orochimaru nodded slightly and said, "You'll be traveling with me this time. After all, Jiraiya and Tsunade are quite troublesome."
Soon after, Orochimaru and Kabuto disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving only a series of light footsteps that gradually faded into the empty building.
......
Boruto had already carried the unconscious Sasuke back to Konoha, crossed the streets, and headed straight for Konoha Hospital.
Sakura was carrying a basket of food, which she originally intended to deliver to Naruto and the others to thank Naruto for saving her from Gaara during the Chunin Exams.
But when she arrived at their residence, she found that none of the three of them were there. Just then, she noticed Boruto carrying Sasuke and hurrying across the street.
Sakura immediately realized that an emergency had occurred. Without hesitation, she put down the basket in her hand and followed Boruto to Konoha Hospital.
At this moment, Might Guy and Boruto had already brought a medical ninja to examine Sasuke.
However, after examining him, the medical ninja shook his head, looking troubled, and said that Sasuke's condition was very complicated and beyond the scope of conventional treatment, but they would do their best to alleviate Sasuke's current pain.
After Sakura arrived at the ward, her gaze quickly swept across the room before finally settling on Sasuke.
She saw Sasuke lying quietly on the bed, his face as pale as paper, with fine beads of sweat constantly seeping from his forehead. Sasuke's condition was probably much more serious than she had imagined.
Boruto was holding a damp towel and gently wiping the sweat from Sasuke's forehead.
At this moment, Sasuke's brows furrowed, his lips moved slightly, and he slowly uttered a few words: "U...Uchiha...Itachi..." Although Sasuke's voice was weak, every word revealed deep pain.
Boruto gritted his teeth. He couldn't imagine what Sasuke had seen in Itachi's Sharingan genjutsu that had caused him such severe mental damage.
Sakura covered her mouth as she watched Sasuke's pained expression, a worried look on her face. She turned to Boruto and asked, "Boruto, what's wrong with Sasuke?"
Boruto then told Sakura what had happened that day: "...and now Naruto is looking for Granny Tsunade to treat them."
Sakura was shocked when she heard Boruto's account of what happened. She hadn't expected so many things to have happened that day, and she wasn't even there to help them.
Then, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, Sakura asked Boruto, "Boruto, is the Tsunade you just mentioned the legendary Princess Tsunade, one of the Three Legendary Sannin?"
Boruto nodded in response, saying, "That's right, it's that Granny Tsunade. She'll definitely be able to heal Sasuke."
When Sakura heard Boruto mention that Naruto was indeed looking for the legendary Princess Tsunade, she bit her lip, a thought surfacing in her mind.
Princess Tsunade is the idol of most female ninjas, not only because of her great strength, but also because of her outstanding talent in medical ninjutsu.
Sakura knew perfectly well that she was relatively weaker than the rest of Team 7, especially after becoming a burden to them during the battle against Gaara. If only she could...
