Inside the surveillance room of the experimental building.
"The Clan seems to have a big operation recently. It's said that the Clan Head will personally participate. Damn it, why haven't I awakened my Three-Tomoe Sharingan? Otherwise, I would also have a chance to participate!"
"Hahaha, sorry, I received news yesterday that the operation is the night after tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Can you tell me about it? What kind of operation is it? Why do they need to mobilize so many people? The Clan Head is already the Hokage; the entire Konoha can be used by him!"
"Although I wasn't asked to keep it a secret, I still can't reveal it to you!"
"Not even a little?"
"Hmm~ Let me think… Sarutobi! That's all I can tell you. You can figure out the rest yourself."
"I think I've guessed it. I really envy you guys who have awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, being able to participate in such an interesting operation!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Don't mention it outside either, or it won't be good if someone in this building hears it!"
"Tch, what's there to guard against that guy? Look, he's working honestly right now!"
He then pointed to a screen in the surveillance room, which showed Sasori diligently working.
Sasori was currently debugging a certain device, and the voices coming from his ears did not affect his movements in the slightest.
As for why Sasori could hear the sounds from the surveillance room, it was because Sasori had made a homemade eavesdropping device.
It had no metal, no circuits, purely a wooden handicraft.
Sasori made many of them, and after careful placement and calculation, he used the most primitive principle of resonance, allowing him to eavesdrop on sounds from various places.
This resonance was extremely weak and difficult to receive, intermittent.
Even if it was received by corresponding equipment, it would be difficult to restore it to sound without complex conversion.
However, Sasori had made subtle modifications to his body, allowing him to directly restore vibrations.
This was originally something Sasori did on a whim, but he never expected to hear such important information.
In Sasori's eyes, Keigetsu's skill was far inferior to his own, but some overly obvious tricks would still be easily seen through by her.
The eavesdropping device Sasori made was extremely primitive and crude, but precisely because of this, it occasionally allowed Sasori to hear some information.
At this moment, Sasori also admired his luck, because now he could no longer hear anything.
For such a crude device to work perfectly, there was no room for error. Sometimes, closing a door a little too hard would break a link in the middle.
The surveillance room was not close to Sasori's laboratory, and there were several turns in between.
Over these many days, the number of times Sasori heard information from the surveillance room was few and far between.
After receiving the information, Sasori's movements did not change in the slightest; he continued to debug the equipment seriously.
However, other thoughts had arisen in his mind.
Having lived in Konoha for several years, Sasori had a basic understanding of Konoha's various factions.
From the analysis of the information, it seemed that Yuuki, the new Hokage, intended to take action against the former Hokage's family.
Not only would Yuuki participate in the operation, but it also seemed that to carry it out in secret, he did not even plan to use Konoha's Ninja.
Instead, he would only use the power of the Uchiha Clan. As the experimental building that Yuuki valued extremely highly.
Although researchers came from everywhere, all the guards and security forces were Ninja from the Uchiha Clan.
Sasori, who often wandered around, naturally knew how terrifying the experimental building's defense force was.
With his current body, which was full of limitations, trying to escape was a pipe dream.
But Uchiha Tomoki seemed to attach great importance to that blueprint, whose origin was unknown, and the approval of various materials was incredibly fast.
This gave Sasori a chance, a chance to escape. Sasori, who originally planned to find an opportunity to escape within a year, decided to give it a try after inadvertently hearing this news.
After all, it would be truly unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip away.
Sasori secretly made up his mind.
There are still two days left; I need to prepare well!
What Sasori didn't know was that a few minutes ago, inside the surveillance room...
Two Ninja were meticulously chatting according to the white paper in front of them. After reading the lines on the white paper,
A silver-haired, glasses-wearing man opposite them made a gesture, then walked to something resembling an ornament, touched it, and said,
"Thank you both!"
"Phew~ Finally, I can speak normally, Kabuto. But since you found something wrong with this thing, why didn't you deal with it?"
Kabuto adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, a harmless smile appearing on his face as he said,
"If I dealt with it, then next time it might be something more troublesome and more hidden. Isn't it good as it is now?"
"Alright, anyway, I'm following the Clan Head's orders to cooperate with you. What do we do next?"
Kabuto's smile grew wider as he said,
"All the necessary preparations have already been made, and the choice has been given to Sasori-senpai. Now, we just wait."
