Chapter 870: Spy
Land of Fire.
Outside Konoha.
As the sun set in the west, two figures with long shadows strolled from afar. It was none other than Orochimaru and Shinno, who were disguised.
“Orochimaru, there's still over a month until the Joint Chunin Exams. Isn't it a bit early for us to come now?” Shinno’s voice was low as he looked towards the Hokage Rock in the distance.
“I need to make some preparations, Shinno. After entering the village, we'll go our separate ways. Don't hinder me.” Orochimaru lightly said with a chuckle.
He didn't tell Shinno his true purpose for coming to Konoha, to avoid complications from arising.
Shinno keenly noticed this, his old face full of displeasure, but Orochimaru was the mastermind behind Konoha Crush Plan, so even if he was unhappy, he could only endure it.
Today, the ones guarding the Konoha’s Gate is still Izumo and Kotetsu.
The two stood on either side of the spacious gate, lazily watching the flow of people coming and going.
