Chapter 341: You Pervert
In Orochimaru's subterranean laboratory.
Things here were as everyone expected: still a tad clean, and glass tubes filled with swirling or bubbling liquid.
Within this unsettling environment, three figures stood: Orochimaru, Kabuto, and Sasuke.
A door opened, and a girl with bright red hair and glasses stepped in. It was Karin. She looked around before her gaze settled on the three.
"I've finished, lord Orochimaru," she said, bowing. She then turned her attention to the boy standing beside him. She had never seen him before, for the two weren't scheduled to officially meet for a couple of years. "Who is this?"
It was Kabuto who answered, "This is Sasuke Uchiha. He's lord Orochimaru's next vessel."
Sasuke, a picture of aloofness, didn't even twitch. He stood there with a mask of indifference.
Karin's eyes flared with interest.
Orochimaru, always one to stir the pot, let out a low, amused chuckle. "Oh, Karin," he purred. "Have you already taken a liking to him?"
Sasuke, visibly bored and perhaps a little annoyed by the implication, began to turn, ready to remove himself from the conversation.
But then, Karin spoke again. "As an Uzumaki, I'm not quite fond of Uchihas."
