Chapter 37
Shiroheki was annoyed, another unneeded mission which took him further away from his siblings than he wanted. Orochimaru had ordered them to Ishigakure to oversee the construction of a new outpost and offer medical assistance to the newest ninja clan that had joined Sound.
His siblings were still so fragile and this time he couldn't even leave Karin behind, Orochimaru and his orders were becoming a problem more and more often.
Shiroheki had narrowed down the time of the Konoha invasion to sometime in the following months. Orochimaru's elite was put through accelerated training and from all the whispers around the underground halls about building shelters between Konoha and Sound as well as setting up a supply line. This invasion would be ideal time to leave, so maybe it was time to scout for travelling routes and gather up intelligence that could serve as entrance ticket for them. No matter into which village.
The silver haired boy was interrupted in his thoughts when the Jounin from the main hideout, a burly brown haired man in his thirties, started to sprout some Orochimaru's propaganda. Shiroheki hadn't bothered to remember his name; he was weaker than him and actually thought that he had the power to make him obey. On his other side Karin was clearly annoyed but at least she didn't let it show on her face. The red head had quite the explosive temper concerning those outside the pack and while she had started to curb it to conform to Shiroheki's expectations it still broke through now and then.
The three hadn't traveled far from the compound when they encountered a major distraction, a Konoha ANBU team.
