"That Uchiha Xuan is truly capable. Not only did he massacre the Konoha ninjas, leaving no armor behind, but he also almost completely destroyed Konoha. Your fellow disciple's hand is truly ruthless."
A playful voice came from the taller person, who carried a large sword wrapped in white cloth on his back.
"It's truly pitiful that the village has been destroyed to such an extent..." The slightly shorter person looked at the ruins of Konoha and spoke calmly. Although his tone was very bland, a hint of sorrow could be felt deep within his words.
"Hehe, still have feelings for your hometown? That's not like you." The tall figure said with a strange smile. "No, there's nothing worth longing for." The thin figure spoke indifferently, slightly raising the hood of his cloak. A single crimson, three-tomoe Sharingan was instantly revealed, appearing exceptionally sinister.
These two were indeed members of the Akatsuki that Xuan had previously encountered: Uchiha Xuan and Hoshigaki Kisame. Both of them had actually come to Konoha after the Konoha Crush Plan.
At this moment, in a forest in the Land of Fields, within a sunken area, stood a gloomy building. The two sides of the building's stone door were carved with two slender venomous snakes, making it appear extremely sinister. This was Orochimaru's secret base in the Land of Fields.
In the dim room, only a single torch quietly burned. A wooden table to one side was filled with various bottles and jars, containing various medicines or the corpses of creatures like snakes and lizards. It looked exceptionally eerie, and a chilling, sinister atmosphere permeated the room, making one shiver despite the lack of cold.
Kabuto Yakushi helped Orochimaru sit down on a chair. At this moment, Orochimaru's hands were already wrapped in white medical bandages. Sweat continuously seeped from his forehead, his face was extraordinarily pale, and his body trembled slightly, as if enduring immense pain and torment. A heavy, painful gasp escaped his throat.
"Damn it!!! Hiruzen, that undying old man, actually used such a powerful sealing jutsu!!! My hands are agonizing, as if being burned by flames, damn it...!!!" Orochimaru's voice was exceptionally hoarse as he spoke, grinding his teeth.
"Please don't say that. Things aren't that simple. After all, your opponent was the strongest Hokage among the Five Great Nations. And not only that, even the Kazekage died at your hands. Two of the Five Kage were... you are already very formidable." Kabuto Yakushi spoke in a tone of humble respect, his round-rimmed glasses reflecting an inexplicable white light in the torchlight.
"No need to comfort me!!!" Orochimaru violently raised his head, his slitted snake eyes staring coldly at Kabuto. He spoke icily, "Otherwise, I'll kill you!!!"
Kabuto was violently startled, cold sweat seeping from his forehead. The white glare from his glasses obscured his vision, preventing him from seeing Orochimaru's expression clearly. "Of course, I didn't mean that. Although you failed to conquer Konoha, the other goal of this plan, Uchiha Sasuke, he has already been collared by you." Kabuto said respectfully.
"Hehe, although that's true, this was exchanged for my hands and all my ninjutsu." Orochimaru said hoarsely, looking at his hands wrapped in bandages.
"If I could have gotten that Uchiha Xuan back then, there wouldn't be so many problems now. But now, that's an impossible dream, because he's stronger than me!!" Orochimaru's snake eyes flashed with a hint of avarice, and he spoke with a slight wheeze. "That's why I withdrew from that organization."
"But I never thought that this Konoha Crush Plan would actually be used as a tool by someone else. It's been a long time since I've encountered something like this, hehe. Uchiha Xuan, another person from the Uchiha clan. People from this clan truly cannot be measured by common sense. As expected, they are the strongest clan, on par with the Senju clan." Orochimaru spoke with a hint of jealousy.
"But the Uchiha clan, many years ago, apart from Sasuke, was already completely annihilated by Uchiha Itachi. Where did this Uchiha Xuan come from? The Uchiha clan of Konoha doesn't seem to have such a person." Orochimaru spoke suspiciously.
"According to intelligence, this Uchiha Xuan seems to be the son of Uchiha Fugaku, an elite of the Uchiha clan who rebelled against Konoha many years ago. Uchiha Xuan was born after Uchiha Fugaku defected from Konoha, so strictly speaking, he is not a member of the Konoha Uchiha clan. This operation also seems to be an act of revenge against Konoha," Kabuto Yakushi explained.
"Hehe, he actually accomplished what I couldn't this time. Not only did he destroy Konoha, but he also shattered the spiritual symbol of the Hokage. With the powerful Mangekyo Sharingan that manipulates Tailed Beasts, hehe, he is truly a terrifying offspring.
If I could get him, it would be perfect. He would definitely be a more perfect and powerful vessel than Sasuke. What a pity, I can only dream of it. Even Uchiha Itachi is probably not his opponent," Orochimaru shook his head and spoke regretfully.
"Honestly, his strength is somewhat absurd. Konoha ninjas were almost completely massacred. Even if you include Jiraiya, Kakashi, and all the other ninja clan heads, including the Hyuga clan, they were tragically defeated at his hands. He truly brought the power of the Sharingan to its absolute peak," Kabuto said, his voice tinged with shock. He had personally witnessed how Xuan crushed the Konoha ninjas.
"Mangekyo Sharingan? Indeed, it is the legendary power of the Uchiha clan, hehe. The more I hear this, the more I anticipate Sasuke. I wonder how far Sasuke will eventually grow?" Orochimaru spoke, his eyes filled with anticipation and avarice.
"Hehe, Young Master Sasuke will probably come to seek refuge with you soon, after witnessing Uchiha Xuan's power." Kabuto said with a smile.
"Hehe, he definitely will." Orochimaru chuckled sinisterly. "But first, I need to solve the problem with my hands."
