Return to Konoha?
He had grown up in Konoha since childhood, but lived in darkness. The accidental killing of Yakushi Nonou had plunged his heart into a constant state of confusion, until he met Orochimaru...
Now, to go back to Konoha?
Yakushi Kabuto was torn inside.
Logically speaking, for the Konoha that had hurt him deeply, he didn't want to return, but he didn't feel averse to Konoha in his heart... Maybe he truly needed to face his own feelings directly.
"Lord Orochimaru." Kimimaro came in from outside, "Konoha's Jiraiya and Tsunade have arrived at our deceptively peaceful village and want to see you."
"Bring them here."
"Yes."
Kimimaro nodded, left the base, and made his way to the village.
"It's Lord Kimimaro!"
Kimimaro raised his hand to signal the villagers to calm down, and then said to Jiraiya and Tsunade, "Jiraiya, Tsunade, please follow me, Lord Orochimaru is already waiting for you."
