"So long, and good luck to us both."

"Right!"

His smile stretched his face, teeth gleaming, the foxlike marks on his cheeks rising up towards his determined blue eyes.

'The little fool,' I thought, 'he really has no idea.'

Before walking through the doors I decided to play my part a little more, thrilling lies rushed through my body. I gave him smile a thumbs up. Then the trio disappeared through their specified numbered doors and my smile turned into an all-knowing smirk.

My own door's handles were cold, furthering the thrill of the mission and the success, and then I saw him.

"A good harvest?" I could tell he was in anticipation for my reply.

"Yes, even better than expected. I learned a lot about him during the second exam, and I recorded all the data on this. You want it?" I answered with a smirk.

"Of, course. So tell me, what did you think?" The man questioned as he reached for the data card.

I snickered, "Your curiosity is truly insatiable, Lord Orochimaru."

"As a sound village spy you see things others don't. Your opinion is of interest to me."

"Oh, it doesn't really matter, does it? Whatever I think you're the one who decides. Isn't that always the way?"

He laughed, disappearing into a ghostly cloud of smoke. But his voice still trailed through the small room, "You're a cagey one aren't you, Kabuto? I like that."
