Kimimaro nodded with utmost sincerity, "Lord Orochimaru, I will work hard. Once I become a complete Otsutsuki, it will be time for you to reincarnate in my body."
Orochimaru: "..."
That wasn't his intention, but since Kimimaro was so eager for him to take over his body, it could indeed serve as an alternative route...

Within the four days following Haruno Sakura's departure, Orochimaru's experimental base welcomed a member of the Shell Organization, a fellow with hands modified into scientific ninja tools and a mask resembling a gas mask upon his face.
"My name is Amado. I came to investigate nearby. Have you, a Konoha defector, found anything unusual?"
"Heh heh."
Orochimaru certainly wasn't going to indulge Amado's interrogative attitude. Before Amado could react, his arms were chopped off by Yakushi Kabuto, who had suddenly appeared behind him.
Following that, Kimimaro casually hurled a bone spike, nailing him to the wall.
