The glass tube opened, releasing a gust of cold air that echoed in the room. With careful movements, Viona reached for the egg, holding it with her smooth yet firm hands.
A strange tension enveloped the room as they stared at the egg in Viona's hands. There was something mysterious and almost eerie about this object, as if the egg held secrets too deep to be known.
"Do as you wish, Orochimaru. We need to leave here soon," Obito said in a low tone, his eyes fixed on the distant city, Fortress City 085. "The commotion we've caused must have drawn their attention. We can't linger here."
Orochimaru responded with a nod, and his sharp gaze shifted to Viona. "Follow us," Orochimaru commanded.
"Understood, Sir," Viona replied calmly, without a hint of change on her cold face.
They all quickly moved out of the underground corridor, their footsteps echoing against the grim stone walls. The damp aroma and dust filled the air as they hurried toward Obito's hideout, a location hidden deep within the forest, where they had gathered before attacking the headquarters of the Lost Rulers Organization.
After some time running among the dense trees, they arrived as the sky began to turn a deep orange, a sign of the approaching dusk. The long shadows from the trees created a chilling impression around the hideout.
"Hey, we're leaving now," Kakuzu said, glancing at them briefly, his voice flat and straightforward.
Obito nodded slightly. "Alright. See you later."
Kakuzu gestured for Kisame and Itachi to follow. They all turned and left the place silently, like shadows disappearing into the darkness of the forest.
As the others moved away, Orochimaru glanced at Viona, who seemed a bit hesitant, her gaze drifting around. Viona's usually expressionless face showed a subtle confusion, as if she were trying to understand the situation more deeply.
"Viona, from now on, you must keep this egg here," Orochimaru said with a cold, inscrutable gaze. "I will try to come as often as possible, but... due to some important matters, I may not appear frequently."
"Understood, Sir," Viona replied in a flat tone, with no visible expression on her calm face.
"Hey, hey! Why are you leaving this woman here? I already have enough on my plate without this woman!" Obito interjected, his face clearly showing displeasure.
Orochimaru simply looked at Obito calmly. "Obito, this entire mountain is already your territory, isn't it? Don't you have more than enough space here? Besides, you have various plants and hidden weapons beneath this mountain. So, adding one more person shouldn't make much of a difference, right?"
Obito clicked his tongue, his annoyed expression becoming more pronounced. "Hah! You're annoying, Orochimaru. But, whatever. If you really want this woman to stay here, then she has to work. I don't have time to pamper her."
"Then just give her orders as you wish," Orochimaru replied with a cynical smirk at the corner of his lips.
Obito huffed in displeasure, but he eventually relented. "That's good then," Obito muttered, still sounding annoyed.
Orochimaru turned to face Viona, his eyes then hinting at a dangerous curiosity. "Did you hear that, Viona? You will stay here and take care of that egg. You must look after it as best as you can... After all, aren't you its older sister? Or... its mother?"
