Chapter 181 Sasuke's Growth

Even Naruto did not expect this scene to happen so quickly. Several people approached Kabuto, and Captain Yamato made a seal and said, "Sai, grab him like this." Then, several wooden sticks stretched out from the ground and tied up Kabuto Yakushi tightly. Just now it was Sai who was tied up, but it was unexpected that it would become Kabuto Yakushi who was tied up so quickly. Captain Yamato's clone also changed from supervising Sai to supervising Kabuto Yakushi.

Naruto asked Sai in confusion: "Sai, what are you thinking about?" Sai said: "Why are you so persistent about the bond between you and Sasuke? I really want to know what this bond is. In your opinion, the bond between me and my brother has not been eliminated. For me, if it is really such a precious thing, after understanding the bond between you and Sasuke, I should understand something."

Sai smiled from the bottom of his heart while speaking, and Naruto nodded to show that he believed him. But Kabuto sneered at this time. Sakura asked, "What are you laughing at?" Yakushi Kabuto said, "You don't know the real Sasuke at all." Captain Yamato ignored all this and walked up to Kabuto and said, "Where is Sasuke? Answer me now."

Originally, everyone thought that Kabuto would not be so straightforward, but unexpectedly, Kabuto just hesitated for a moment and said: "He should have finished his training now and returned to the deep room to rest." Sai said: "Sasuke is indeed training with Orochimaru, I think he is not lying. But, if we only know that it is in the deep room." After hearing what Sai said, everyone turned their attention to Kabuto Yakushi again.

Kabuto lowered his head and said, "I don't know either. There are different rooms everywhere. There are more than one or two so-called deep rooms." Naruto said, "In that case, we can only turn it upside down." Kabuto said, "Yes, if we follow the clues, we may find it. However, Orochimaru's room is also among them. It's better to be more careful and not to alert the enemy."

Yamato said, "Thank you for telling me the truth." But Kabuto didn't seem to mind telling Naruto and the others the news, and said coldly, "There's nothing to thank you for." Yamato understood what he meant and said, "Are you implying that we will fail?" Kabuto said "yes" casually, without even wanting to explain.

Naruto said: "Kabuto, success or failure cannot be defined in this way. Even if Sasuke is unwilling to go with us, it does not mean that we have failed. On the other hand, now that Sasuke follows Orochimaru, it does not necessarily mean that Orochimaru is successful. You will soon understand who is more far-sighted." Kabuto said: "Foresight? Although you are very powerful, many of your ideas are really naive?"

No longer paying attention to Kabuto, leaving only Captain Yamato's clone to watch over him, Naruto and the others were ready to look for Sasuke again. At this time, Naruto and Sakura were also willing to believe Sai. Captain Yamato also looked at Sai, and from his sincere smile, one could also feel Sai's current attitude.

From the moment Kabuto was captured, Captain Yamato also believed that Sai had not betrayed. The people of the Root were just a little extreme in their ways, and it was unlikely that they would really betray Konoha. Captain Yamato had also heard about this. Now that Kabuto had been controlled, the task of finding Sasuke should be put first. Several people passed through the gap just now and entered Orochimaru's base again.

Looking at the intricate internal structure, Captain Yamato said, "Next, in order to expand the search range, everyone has to search separately. Once the enemy's location is found, notify everyone immediately." Sakura said, "But, after discovering the enemy's traces, how should we notify everyone?" Captain Yamato made a few seeds, held them in his hand and said, "Everyone eat this. As long as you condense chakra, I can sense it." Sakura had seen this trick of Captain Yamato before, and nodded with trust.

Naruto patted the two of them on the shoulder inadvertently, leaving an imperceptible seed and the mark of Flying Thunder God. Captain Yamato said to disperse, and everyone began to look for Sasuke's traces separately. Sai can use a large number of mice to search with the fake super beast painting, and Naruto can even use the Sage Mode. Relatively speaking, Sakura's efficiency is the lowest. Naruto and Sai have been searching for a long time, but they have not found Sasuke. However, Naruto's efforts made Sai feel that Naruto is a bit like his brother. As time went by, the two of them became more or less impatient. At this time, Naruto sensed Orochimaru's chakra. Since Orochimaru was more familiar with the terrain, Orochimaru also discovered Naruto and Sai, and in a blink of an eye, Orochimaru appeared in front of Naruto.

Faced with this situation, Naruto could only stay behind to block Orochimaru, while letting Sai continue to look for Sasuke. Seeing that it was Naruto, Orochimaru also felt very difficult, and immediately released a large number of snakes, blocking the entire passage. Naruto laughed and said, "Orochimaru, is this all you know about these disgusting tricks?"

Finally, Sai discovered the room where Sasuke was through the mouse, and without notifying others, Sai rushed over first. He quietly approached Sasuke's room without making any sound or leaking any breath. He was indeed a talent cultivated by the Root, and he had a very unique way of assassination. At this time, Sasuke was resting.

Sai used a fake super beast painting to draw a few black snakes, which were basically invisible in such a dimly lit place. These snakes were completely lifeless and crawled to the sleeping Sasuke, slowly crawling towards him. Sasuke seemed to be sleeping very deeply, as if he had no consciousness at all. Until Sai's snakes completely crawled onto him and tied him up, Sasuke did not move.

Because Sasuke was sleeping facing the wall, Sai couldn't see Sasuke's expression. Sasuke's voice came from the darkness: "Why, you want to disturb my rest!"

Reaching forward with one hand, Naruto gathered a large amount of chakra in his hand, "Senjutsu, Big Ball Rasengan". A huge Rasengan condensed from Naruto's hand, almost occupying the entire width of the passage. This Rasengan pushed forward fiercely, not only all the snakes released by Orochimaru were eliminated, but also a big hole was blasted out of this underground passage.

Orochimaru took a few steps back, and when the smoke and dust cleared, he looked at Naruto. At this time, Captain Yamato and Sakura, who had sensed the huge commotion here, had already rushed over and stood with Naruto. Seeing this situation, Orochimaru seemed to feel that it was difficult to compete with Naruto. With his familiarity with the terrain, Orochimaru disappeared into the passage.

Yamato and Sakura, after seeing Orochimaru disappear, took out the booklet of Sai's assassination targets that they had just obtained from somewhere. They brought it to Naruto, turned to the page about Sasuke and said, "Sai's real top-secret mission is to kill Sasuke." Naruto said, "Sakura, we should fully trust Sai, at least I do." After hearing what Naruto said, Sakura nodded. Captain Yamato was a member of the Anbu after all, so she still had some doubts.

Naruto said: "The most important thing is to find Sasuke as soon as possible." The three nodded in agreement and prepared to continue looking for Sasuke.
