Yamato's voice changed, but something was missing. Misa tells him, "He is not much of a polite person. So be more malicious and violent." Yamato nodded, then tries it again. "Alright, we're starting the operation!" He alternates his voice that now sounds like the puppet master. Naruto was stunned just as Sakura and Misa.

"Our opponent should be on the alert. We'll split up now. Observe teamwork at all times. Especially you, Naruto. Don't be jumping out before the signal." Yamato reminded the Jinchuriki. He nods his head that he will follow orders. "Let's go!" The team's captain commanded. They scatter off to find a spot to be hidden. Naruto, Sakura, Sai, and Misa cloaked their chakra as a way to prevent any presence.

The show has started.

From a far distance, a new person makes an appearance at the bridge. The four couldn't make out who it is due to their covered attire. All they know it's someone is working for Orochimaru. The person stands in the middle of the bridge, waiting for Yamato. Just then, he came in on time from the sound of his hat ringing.

"It's been a long time, Sasori-sama." The mysterious person greets him.

All eyes were on them. For the moment of truth, it stunned everyone who the person is. Yakushi Kabuto. Yamato continues with the act by asking him questions. He wanted to know about which hideout is Sasuke in. Kabuto stated that there are numerous hideouts in different places. But the one that stood out the most is a small island on a lake to the north is where Kabuto claims that Sasuke will be there.

"What's he doing?! He should just grab him!" Naruto whispers. He is becoming very impatient. "His opponent is Kabuto. Being overly cautious is just fine. It's all over if he gets away, right?" Sakura didn't want Naruto to act hastily. "But, the spy could get suspicious if he's too cautious, and the timing to capture will get thrown off." Sai proclaimed a statement. Misa lets out a deep sigh, "So it's vice versa." She said. They need to keep a close eye on Kabuto, or else something unbelievably goes wrong.

Out of nowhere, Misa's sensory abilities begin kicking in. She picks up chakra energy. Sakura looks over at her left shoulder to see Misa shaken up. "Are you okay, Misa-chan?" She asked in a concerned voice. Even the boys were staring at her apprehensively. Misa opens her mouth, "Another person...is here." She disclosed that it shocked them.

Over at Yamato, he pulls out a kunai knife under the sleeve. "That conversation sounds interesting." A masculine and croaky voice has spoken unknowingly. Before he could attack Kabuto, the man himself decides to come at present.

Orochimaru.

Author's Note
That one part in the Tenchi Bridge arrival where Orochimaru is creepily hiding behind the tree scared me so bad 😂 But I never thought I would like him later on ✌️😙 Even tho this is the start of an arc, the climax is already here as I'm writing. Sai and Misa becoming friends is my fave so far becuz I wanted Sai to be sensible and encouraged him to express his true feelings that he faced after a grieving moment in life. With the help of our queen, she did her magic 😊 That's it for now so stay tuned for the next update ❤️
