Chapter 289 - 288 : Hayashi vs Kimimaro!!
Time passed.
It’s been over a year since Hayashi left, and now it’s snowing.
Looking around, everything was covered in a vast expanse of white.
Tap, tap, tap.
Hayashi walked through the snowy ground, his eyes fixed ahead. "Is that the base of Orochimaru up ahead? I wonder if he’s hiding in there!"
Recently, he had been searching for Orochimaru’s hidden base. He had already checked a few bases, but they were all empty. Now, he had received another lead and rushed here without hesitation.
However, he didn’t hold much hope this time.
Orochimaru had many hideouts, and he wasn’t sure if Orochimaru was in this one.
(Though he knew Orochimaru was in the Village Hidden in Sound, his dwelling was a cave, and it was incredibly secretive. Anyone who’s read the original would know this!)
It’s been over a year since he left Genya. Beneath the mask, Hayashi’s eyes had lost the last trace of innocence, and there was now a touch of weariness.
The outside world was still a place for training.
