1 1 The life of a loser.

Kabuto lay on the bare deck all wounded. His chest was very badly damaged. His chakra was minimal.

Fighting against the Sannin was not doable for him now. His strength simply wasn't enough. Had he and Orochimaru not escaped

the fight would have ended in their deaths.

Kabuto felt humiliated. He lost to a toad old man, a grandmother dipsomaniac and a boy who had learned how to use A-class techniques at such bad timing.

But in doing so, he learned a lot. Next time he won't have to be so sucky with weak opponents because a cornered

a cornered dog bites with a double layer.

Kabuto glanced at Orochimaru against the wall and grinned. He wasn't the only one who hadn't expected such a dash from the two saninis and Naruto.

Orochimaru looked better than Kabuto, but not by much. The left side of his face was damaged and his body was weakened. How stupid. If Kabuto had his strength.

he would have laughed. Orochimaru really thought that without a ninjutsu he could bake two Kage-level ninjas at the same time. What a fool.

Kabuto wanted to resemble Orochimaru before, but now looking at his pathetic appearance he is disgusted. He's also convinced that Orochimaruwill soon expose him as Sasori's spy, if he hasn't already. Of course there is a chance that he will offer to be a double agent, but he already decided that he doesn't want to get involved with it.

Lying on the cold floor of one of Orochimaru's hideouts, Kabuto decided that he would make the most ofOrochimaru . He's going to take all the knowledge out of him...

And run away, just need to find a moment when Orochimaru is weakest so that even he can kill him.But this is all just

...thoughts. It takes preparation. A private plan.

Once Kabuto has accumulated chakra he starts the self-recovery, which will last a long time. That old hag damaged his nervous system quite badly.

but the main problem is his chest, which makes it hard for him to breathe. First we have to put the damaged bones back in place before we can rebuild

his insides.

Once Kabuto started to move around more or less normally, Orochimaru was long gone. *For sure went to his lab to heal his wounds,

Kabuto thought. He too went to his room. He should have made all the preparations for his escape in advance. Technique scrolls, preparations, money in the end.

Even if he escaped in six months or a year, he should always be ready.Orochimaru might try to get rid of him at any moment.

as an unnecessary item or a useless tool.

He locked the door and lay down on his bed after he reached his room.*Sleep is the best way to restore his body and chakra*, he thought

Kabuto.

The next morning Kabuto stopped in the lab as usual, and removed the remains of Orochimaru's actions. Empty flasks were scattered all over the table.

They used to contain medicinal preparations, but apparently Orochimaru was more damaged than Kabuto thought because almost 10 flasks were empty.

There were also a few pellets of chakra in there as well.

Kabuto grinned again.

-Orochimaru-sama, you must be quite bad. You rather need a new body, don't you, Kabuto chuckled in his heart hoping,

Probably Orochimaru would send the Sound Four and Kimimaru after Sasuke. That might be his only chance to escape.

He could escape right now, but they'll probably send a chase after him.

The main thing is to find the right time to escape.
