Should I continue being a villain in the ninja world after transmigrating?

Chapter 87 Kabuto Yakushi and Augusta

Unaware of Jelf's gaze, Mavis looked conflicted, but ultimately, amidst her conflicting thoughts, she chose the safest approach:

—I haven't mentioned anything about Itachi Uchiha to Sasuke yet.

At this moment, Orochimaru, who had already left, suddenly stopped, opened his clenched right hand, and two long silver-white hairs lay quietly in his palm.

Looking at the two strands of hair that August had lost during the battle, Orochimaru's lips curled up slightly.

......

After settling Kimimaro in, Kabuto finally had some free time. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, a small white snake appeared in his field of vision.

Knowing that Orochimaru was looking for him, Kabuto had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and follow.

Why do I feel like I'm serving more and more people and getting busier and busier?

Not only did she continue to serve as Orochimaru's assistant, but she was also available whenever Zeref called upon, and she was also responsible for Sasuke's training records and medical care.

Even the all-powerful King of Scrolls, Yakushi Kabuto, felt a little conflicted for a moment.

Following the little white snake, they arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory. Looking at Orochimaru's familiar figure, Kabuto Yakushi softly said, "Lord Orochimaru."

Upon hearing Kabuto's voice, Orochimaru neither turned around nor spoke. He kept his back to Kabuto, quietly looking at the two test tubes in his hand.

As Orochimaru's research assistant, Kabuto Yakushi was very familiar with Orochimaru's behavior. This focused concentration on the experimental results proved that Orochimaru attached great importance to this experiment.

Has Lord Orochimaru made any new research findings this time?

With this thought in mind, Kabuto stepped forward slightly and was able to see the two test tubes in Orochimaru's hand, as well as the instruments on the table.

This device is... a device for detecting bloodlines?

To everyone's surprise, what Orochimaru cared so much about was just a very ordinary bloodline test. A hint of doubt flashed in Kabuto's eyes.

Meanwhile, the results from the two test tubes in Orochimaru's hands also came in, and the results from both samples showed that they were related by blood!

Even though he was 80% certain of his guess, Orochimaru was still somewhat excited when he actually saw the result.

Orochimaru placed the two test tubes back on the table and finally turned to look at Kabuto Yakushi, his expression inexplicably excited as he asked, "Kabuto, guess whose results these are?"

The subjects of the bloodline test? Kabuto instantly grasped the deeper meaning behind Orochimaru's question.

Both test results confirm a blood relationship. Who are the parents?

As he was pondering, Kabuto's expression suddenly froze, and the image of the child Orochimaru had conjured up a few days ago resurfaced in his mind.

Later, he also learned from Sasuke that August had disguised himself as a child before coming here.

Could it be?!

Seeing Kabuto's constantly changing expression, Orochimaru chuckled and revealed the answer: "Those are the results of hair tests conducted on August, Mavis, and Zeref respectively. As for the results, you can see them clearly, right? Hehehe—"

Kabuto Yakushi pushed up his glasses in shock and said in a complicated tone, "Auguste is Mavis and Zeref's child?!"

“What’s even more interesting is that Zeref and Mavis seem unaware of this,” Orochimaru said with a smirk, narrowing his eyes.

Kabuto asked instinctively, "Does August himself know?"

As soon as the question was raised, Kabuto Yakushi recalled August's extraordinary loyalty to Zeref and his special attention to Mavis, who was originally his enemy. The answer to the question seemed obvious.

Kabuto Yakushi said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "So August has always followed his father as a subordinate, while Zeref was completely unaware, as was Mavis."

“Now it seems that’s true.” Orochimaru stared at Kabuto Yakushi and said meaningfully, “Your family is right in front of you, but they don’t recognize you at all. Kabuto, you should understand this feeling the most.”

Kabuto clenched his fists tightly at his sides, and the usual feigned expression on his face completely disappeared.

The dean, in order to return to his role as a spy...

The dean died by his own hand...

The dean no longer recognizes himself...

Orochimaru, who knew very well about Kabuto's past, raised his eyebrows with interest, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and commanded, "Kabuto, I need you to do something for me."

……

The next day, after giving Sasuke some pointers on his magic training, August walked alone to the edge of a cliff and quietly gazed at the bright sun that had just risen on the horizon.

Kabuto watched August's retreating figure from afar, pushed up his glasses, and the glasses reflected a white light.

Walking up to August, Kabuto smiled and asked, "August, didn't Zeref and Mavis guide Sasuke's training today?"

August didn't have any particular liking or dislike for Kabuto Yakushi, who was by Orochimaru's side.

Kabuto Yakushi's abilities and meticulousness are impeccable, but he has no personality of his own at all, as if he is wrapped in layer after layer of disguise.

Seeing that Kabuto Yakushi had taken the initiative to speak, Augustus calmly said, "His Majesty and Mavis are going to study some materials together today, so I will be guiding Sasuke today."

Thinking of the task Orochimaru had assigned him yesterday and August's background, Kabuto's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "August, would you like to hear my story?"

After saying that, before August could question or refuse, Kabuto Yakushi began to speak on his own.

"When I was very young, I lost my memory due to an injury. I didn't know who I was or what I was supposed to do until I met the director..."

"The dean gave me a name, gave me these glasses, gave me a reason to exist, but later..."

……

"...And just like that, the dean died at my hands, and before she died, she looked at me with a face full of confusion, at this ninja she didn't recognize at all, and asked me who I was..."

"My bond with the dean has been taken away..."

Without this bond, who am I...?

After Kabuto began to tell his story, August, who had initially frowned and wanted to drive him away, stopped and listened quietly to Kabuto's tale.

After hearing Kabuto's story, and seeing Kabuto lost in his memories with a somewhat vacant look in his eyes, August suddenly spoke up: "If what you said is true, then next time you encounter that ninja named Shimura Danzo, I can help you kill him."

Seeing Augustus calmly utter such astonishing words, Kabuto Yakushi chuckled and said, "Shimura Danzo is a high-ranking official in Konoha, and his strength is not weak either..."

“So what?” August said calmly. “I have some confidence in my abilities.”

Thinking of the battle between August and Kimimaro, Kabuto fell silent. Indeed, August had the confidence to say such a thing.

Realizing that August was serious, Kabuto was slightly taken aback. He looked at August with a complicated expression and suddenly asked, "Why did you help me kill Shimura Danzo?"

"Is it because, like you, my dearest and most beloved person is right in front of me, yet they have no idea who I am?"

As soon as Kabuto Yakushi said this, the surroundings seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The next moment, a powerful gravity instantly enveloped Kabuto Yakushi, pressing him firmly to the ground.

Unable to get up from the ground, Yakushi Kabuto struggled to lift his head and met August's murderous gaze looking down at him.
