The team were about to make their way back into the hideout, but a storm of kunai came raining down on them. The team dodged out the way and the culprit was none other than Kabuto.

Kabuto: (Pushing his glasses back up) Hello everyone, I'm surprised that you managed to find us. (Looks at Yamato) I guess I shouldn't be surprised since you are an old experiment of Lord Orochimaru

Taiyo: (Annoyed) Why does it have to be you? Your voice is making my ears bleed

Kabuto: (Smirks) My dear Taiyo, you never cease to make me smile. I still need to repay you for all you've done to me

Taiyo: That's it! (He rushes the silver haired man)

The two meet in a small fight in which they punched and countered each other, Naruto came in with a Rasengan and Taiyo dodged out of the way. Kabuto avoids the Rasengan and grabs Naruto's wrist, he breaks it and was about to kill him with the Chakra Scalpel, but Yamato was faster and uses Wood Style to capture Kabuto. The man of course dodges and counters Sakura's punch.

Kabuto: (Jumps to Sai) I see that I'm very outmatched, but I'd like to say something. (Looks at Taiyo and Naruto) You two are both pathetic for still trying to get Sasuke back, he isn't the same person you once knew. If you do continue this frivolous search, you might find him resting in one of the rooms because of his training with Lord Orochimaru

Sai: (Taps his shoulder) Excuse me?

Kabuto: (Looks at him) What is it?

Sai: (Smiles slightly) I've decided to follow my heart and I want to see the bond of Taiyo, Naruto, and Sasuke. You also might want watch out for my friend there

Kabuto: What are you talking abo-Aghghhh!

Before Kabuto could even look over, he was punched hard in the face by Taiyo.

Taiyo: (Smiles) That felt good. (Looks at Sai and puts his hand on his shoulder) Nice job man, I guess you really did listen to me

Sai: (Nods his head) Yes

Yamato binds Kabuto with wood and makes a clone to watch over the man.

Yamato: Alright everyone, let's get into that hideout

Team: Right!

The team goes inside the hideout and sees the many corridors all over and how alike they all are.

Yamato: Let's split into teams to cover more ground, Sakura you're with me, Taiyo and Naruto are with Sai

Taiyo: Let's do this

Yamato: Alright, break!

The team separates and the trio goes off in a direction.

Taiyo: Yo Sasuke, you here man!?

Naruto: Sasuke!

(Later)
As the trio were checking every door in each of the corridors, Naruto suddenly fells tired and collapses on the ground.

Taiyo: (Concerned) Damn it, I knew this would happen

The teen picked up his friend and dragged him over to rest on a wall. After a couple minutes, Naruto soon woke up to Taiyo and Sai checking on him.

Taiyo: (Smiles) Hey buddy, welcome back. Are you ok?

Naruto: (Smiles weakly) Yeah, I'm fine just a little tired

Sai: It's funny you know

Taiyo: What's that?

Sai: You both remind me of my brother, your personalities mirror some traits of my brother. (Smiles) I finally remember what I wanted to draw (he draws a quick picture)
