Kidoumaru, ready your things, Orochimaru-sama has a mission for us. Tayuya, Sakon, you're welcome to come if you feel it necessary... I can't believe I'm being nice to either of you two, but...if you're bored, yes, it promises to be a break from the monotony.
Orochimaru-sama has stated the mission as this:
Deliver Orochimaru-sama's message to the Mizukage. Once delivered, return with the scrolls that will be given to us during the transaction. If the shinobi of Kirigakure object, take the scrolls by force. Failure is unacceptable, we will not be permitted to return to Otogakure without the scrolls.
I supposed it's considered an A or B class mission...though, we've all accomplished missions of more difficulty before.
I did as Kidoumaru asked and requested a mission from Orochimaru-sama, who eagerly saw it as an opportunity for me to interrogate Kidoumaru further about his affection for the Yamanaka girl... This is driving me absolutely insane. I'll never betray Orochimaru-sama, but I can't help worrying about what this will do to the friendship that I think has started between Kidoumaru and I, or what will happen to Kidoumaru if Orochimaru-sama doesn't like what I report.
...I'm also a little worried about this mission... It seems as if Orochimaru-sama is trying to test me...sending me back to the village where my clan perished... I hope the shinobi of Kirigakure do not recognize me...I don't want to deal with that aspect of my past just now, not when I already have too much on my mind.
Kami-sama, I'm going insane.
Kabuto-sensei, would it be possible for you to care for my plants while I'm gone? I don't want Jiroubou to do it ever again...you're the only one that I trust will do it properly... I'll appreciate it.
