Chapter 62 Xiao’s actions
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind howled.
Sasuke was walking rapidly through the forest, letting the strong wind blow his black hair back. His sharp eyes did not dare to catch any movement around him.
Suddenly, he discovered something, stopped quickly, ducked and hid behind a big tree, and slightly stuck his head out to look ahead.
“One, two, three, four. It’s a patrol team from Konoha.”
Konoha's power is not entirely concentrated in the village.
Except the border garrison troops.
Outside the Konoha Village, there are patrol teams serving as warnings to prevent the enemy from finding out when they break into the Konoha Village.
The Chunin Examination some time ago was due to the arrival of too many VIPs and tourists. Konoha deployed many outside teams to maintain public security in the village, which made the raid so easy to succeed.
After learning the lesson, now no matter how tight the power in Konoha's hands is, it will increase its efforts in patrolling the periphery to avoid being caught off guard again.
The patrol team, plus the Konoha mission team that comes and goes from time to time.
It was not so easy for Sasuke to escape without sleeping all the way.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Sasuke waited quietly until the Konoha patrol team left from the front before starting again.
The four sound ninjas were treated similarly, but they were stronger. Even if they encountered people from Konoha who couldn't be avoided, they could still force their way through.
So even though Sasuke distanced himself, they were able to hold on tightly.
Although Shikamaru's team set off last, with the home field advantage, they could chase with confidence and keep narrowing the distance.
If we look at it from an overall perspective, the distance between Sasuke, the four sound ninjas, and Shikamaru's team is getting closer and closer as time goes by.
Of course, there are never just the three of them in this overall situation.
The incident of the only orphaned traitor of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, although it happened not long ago, has already reached the eyes of those who are interested.

In the dark underground base, Orochimaru, who was lying on the hospital bed with an intravenous drip, suddenly straightened up and roared in great pain.
"The newly prepared medicine didn't even last a day. Is it still not good?" The pharmacist Kabuto on the side adjusted his glasses and sighed.
"Sasuke. Where is Sasuke?" Orochimaru, who was sweating profusely in pain, looked at his arms that were tightly wrapped in bandages and asked in an increasingly impatient tone.
"There was an accident." Kabuto Yakushi replied, "According to the latest report from Tayuya and the others, although Sasuke left the village, he was not with them."
“It seems. He has a new choice?”
“Trash!”
Orochimaru gritted his teeth and cursed as he was sweating in pain.
"Besides me, who else can give Sasuke the power to take revenge? Tell the four sound ninjas that if they can't bring Sasuke back, they won't come back!"
Yakushi Kabuto nodded: "I will convey it. By the way, the child wants to do his best at the last moment. Do I need to agree to it?"
“Kimimaro let him go!”
At this moment, Orochimaru did not hesitate to play all his cards in order to achieve his goal.
After receiving the instruction, Kabuto Yakushi turned around and left. After closing the door, Orochimaru's painful screams came one after another.
"Ah! Damn old man. Who is it that ruined my big thing? Ah!"
“Madara! Madara! I got some great news!”
In the Land of Rain, Uchiha Obito, who was enjoying the rain again, heard the voice of White Zetsu behind him, his eyes moved, and he asked:
“Is it about Hagoromo Genzuki?”
Like other ninja villages, Uchiha Obito did not find out the whereabouts of Hagoromo Genzuki during this period. After all, although Bai Zetsu's intelligence gathering ability is powerful, it is not omnipotent.
However, several Bai Jue bodies have disappeared inexplicably recently, which made him suspicious, but there were no clues during the investigation.
“No.” Bai Jue shook his head. Uchiha Obito lost interest when he heard this.
However, Bai Zetsu mentioned Uchiha Sasuke, which caught his attention.
“Sasuke Uchiha defected!” Bai Zetsu said with a smile.
“Defection?”
Uchiha Obito’s eyes narrowed inside his spiral mask.
For Uchiha Sasuke, he had long planned to replace Uchiha Itachi and achieve the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
As for why Uchiha Itachi is not allowed to evolve the Eternal Kaleidoscope.
Not only because he himself suffered from a serious terminal illness.
The bigger reason is that Uchiha Obito is very afraid of Uchiha Itachi.
In the entire Akatsuki organization, even Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan Eye, is just a useful piece in the chess game that has long since fallen into his eyes.
But Uchiha Itachi, who also possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan and has a deep mind, is the only one Obito cannot control.
It is precisely for this reason that he specially sent Kisame, a true one of his own, to be Itachi's companion, responsible for monitoring the other party.
Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi has been suffering from physical problems, so Uchiha Obito can feel more relieved.
“Why did Uchiha Sasuke defect?” Uchiha Obito asked.
Haku Zetsu shook his head: "It's not clear yet. But there is another news. Orochimaru's people are chasing Uchiha Sasuke."
"Orochimaru"
Hearing this name, Uchiha Obito tapped his fingers on the iron railing.
As a rebellious ninja of the Akatsuki organization, not only did Payne issue a pursuit order for him, he also wanted to kill this guy who knew a lot of information about the Akatsuki organization.
It's just that this poisonous snake has always been slippery. Although the Akatsuki organization took several bases of Orochimaru, they could not find him.
"If I remember correctly, Itachi and Kisame are still in the Land of Fire, right?" Uchiha Obito asked.
"That's right. After the failure to capture the Nine-Tails, they were still in the Country of Fire. After all, the Country of Fire is very big." Bai Jue replied with a smile.
"Tell Itachi the news. He will make a choice on his own. By the way, let Pain know as well." Uchiha Obito ordered.
Uchiha Obito knew the nature of Uchiha Itachi very well and knew what the former would do.
Just take this opportunity to cut off Orochimaru's tentacles, lest the stinky snake do anything to Sasuke, who has already determined his use, and make his eternal kaleidoscope plan fail.
In addition, it would be great to know the location of Orochimaru from the mouths of Orochimaru's men.
Many people in the Xiao organization are thinking about him.
Such two birds with one stone, Uchiha Obito felt that the plan was perfect.
Bai Jue obeyed the order and went to deliver the news.
Soon, there was a response from Payne.
He would never miss the opportunity to kill Orochimaru, a traitor to the Akatsuki organization.
Using the long-distance communication of the Akatsuki organization ring, Payne contacted Itachi and Kisame thousands of miles away.
After receiving the order, Kisame smiled ferociously on his shark face, looked at Itachi and said, "Itachi, it looks like you are going to see your dear brother again."
Itachi put on his bamboo hat calmly, and said calmly amidst the crisp tinkling of wind chimes:
“He was never the target.”
