Kamiyo had been smiling happily every day recently, especially when even the Konoha Ninja within the Konoha Garrison were discussing the relationship between Chiyo, Rasa, and Ōnoki, which made him smile even more.
Just as Kamiyo and his team had returned to the garrison after completing a mission, a Ninja found Kamiyo.
"Kamiyo, Orochimaru-sama is looking for you."
"Huh?"
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara looked at Kamiyo in surprise.
The Ninja only mentioned Kamiyo, which indicated that Orochimaru was looking for Kamiyo alone and didn't intend for them to go together.
When did Kamiyo have contact with Orochimaru that would make Orochimaru seek him out individually?
Kamiyo was suddenly stunned when he heard Orochimaru was looking for him, but he quickly reacted.
Orochimaru was looking for him, most likely because he had news about Chiyo.
"Alright, I'll go right away."
Kamiyo said to the three, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara: "Then I'll go see Orochimaru-sama."
Kamiyo walked towards the combat command room where Orochimaru was.
Upon entering the tent, Kamiyo saw Orochimaru again; he hadn't changed and still gave Kamiyo a feeling of holding back something sinister.
To Kamiyo's surprise, Orochimaru praised him: "The rumors you spread are quite effective."
Kamiyo said in surprise: "Orochimaru-sama, how did you know I was behind this?"
Orochimaru explained: "It's simple. You have a strong animosity towards Chiyo, and the areas where those scrolls were spread were the mission areas of your team, so it was easy to guess it was you."
Kamiyo scratched his head awkwardly: "Oh, so that's it. I thought I had done it flawlessly."
Orochimaru asked with a hint of curiosity: "However, the rumors first appeared in the Sunagakure Garrison. I'm quite curious how you managed to spread these rumors there."
"Uh… that, I asked a friend from Hidden Sand Village to help me."
Kamiyo didn't really want to talk too much about Pakura with Orochimaru.
Orochimaru also noticed that Kamiyo didn't want to talk much, so he didn't ask further and continued: "I have information about Chiyo."
Kamiyo looked at Orochimaru with sparkling eyes.
Orochimaru's lips curled into a slight smile as he said: "Your rumor is quite absurd, but it's very effective. Chiyo seems to have been influenced by these rumors and left the garrison. It looks like she intends to return to the Land of Wind, and she's going back alone."
Kamiyo said excitedly: "Alone? Isn't that a perfect opportunity! Watch me directly take her out!"
However, Orochimaru immediately followed up: "Because Chiyo's departure route was from behind their garrison, sending Ninja to attack and kill Chiyo has a very high chance of failure. As a commander, I cannot issue such a foolish order.
So, if you plan to attack Chiyo, I agree to let you go, but I will not provide you with any assistance.
I will warn you one last time: even if your puppets are stronger than Chiyo's, a battle between Ninja cannot be judged solely by puppets. Besides puppets, you are not her match. Therefore, in my opinion, your chances of failure are high, and the probability of death is not low.
Jiraiya told me you are very afraid of combat. If you are so afraid of combat, why would you do something so extremely dangerous for you?"
Kamiyo suddenly started to cackle sinisterly.
Kamiyo chuckled, "Heh heh, Orochimaru-sama, I am a very righteous yet shameless person."
Hearing Kamiyo's reply, Orochimaru raised an eyebrow.
Can righteousness and shamelessness be used together?
Kamiyo explained sinisterly: "I am very righteous as a person, but my fighting style is shameless. I'll do whatever dirty trick I can. If I can't win, I'll just run. I'll just disgust that old woman Chiyo and then immediately slip away."
Orochimaru looked at Kamiyo with a subtle gaze, and a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind: the 'shameless' Kamiyo might fail, but he would definitely not lose his life.
Orochimaru nodded and threw a scroll to Kamiyo.
After Kamiyo caught it, Orochimaru said: "This is the predicted route of Chiyo's departure. If you want to catch up to her, you must leave immediately, but I cannot guarantee that you will definitely catch up. Also… didn't Minato Namikaze teach you? Eavesdropping on combat meetings is a serious crime!"
Kamiyo froze for a moment; Orochimaru's last sentence was clearly not directed at him.
Kamiyo turned his head to look, and his eyes immediately became like dead fish eyes.
He saw Obito's half-dog head.
Why could he tell it was Obito at a glance? Because Obito was the only one with a big slicked-back hairstyle here.
Obito, Rin Nohara, and Kakashi walked in with their heads down.
As they walked in, Rin Nohara grumbled softly: "Obito, I told you not to eavesdrop."
Obito's face was full of embarrassment; he was just curious to listen in.
Kakashi and Rin Nohara originally wanted to pull Obito away, but they accidentally heard that Kamiyo was planning to ambush Chiyo, so they couldn't help but eavesdrop for a bit.
Kakashi apologized to Orochimaru: "We're sorry, Orochimaru-sama."
Orochimaru didn't intend to bother with Kakashi and the others; he had better things to do: "Since Kamiyo is a member of your team, I'll let it slide this time, but there won't be a next time."
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara breathed a sigh of relief; they were all intimidated by Orochimaru.
Kamiyo bid farewell to Orochimaru: "Orochimaru-sama, then we will be leaving now."
After speaking, Kamiyo walked in front of the three, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara, pushing them outside, muttering: "You three are addicted to peeping, aren't you? Don't you know peeping gives you styes?"
Obito suddenly lifted his head and asked Orochimaru: "Orochimaru-sama, can we go with Kamiyo?"
Kamiyo slapped a big hand on Obito's head: "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you spouting? Hurry up and leave!"
Orochimaru picked up a scroll and was already reading it, saying without lifting his head: "Kamiyo is a member of your team. You decide whether to go or not."
Obito's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, Kamiyo covered his mouth.
Kamiyo glared at Obito: "If you say another word, I'll dig out your throat!"
Then Kamiyo shouted towards Orochimaru: "Orochimaru-sama, Obito's head got sat on by my butt this morning, so his brain nerves might be damaged and he's talking nonsense. Don't listen to him. Orochimaru-sama, you're busy, so we won't bother you anymore!"
Kamiyo dragged Obito, along with Kakashi and Rin Nohara, out of the combat command room.
After returning to Kamiyo's own tent.
Kamiyo released his hand from Obito's mouth and glared fiercely at Obito: "Are you crazy?! You're talking nonsense in front of Orochimaru-sama! Aren't you afraid Orochimaru-sama will eat you?!"
Obito rubbed his stiff face and said: "I am, but I want to go with you. That Chiyo is the commander of the Sunagakure here, a senior Advisor of Hidden Sand Village. Even Orochimaru-sama said she's very strong and that you can't beat her, so isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?"
"I'm confident going alone. It would be dangerous if you came with me. That's it, bye."
Kamiyo began to prepare his things, intending to leave immediately once ready.
