What Lee didn't see and what Sasuke hadn't seen were apparently hugely different things, all of Sasuke's literal blindness aside. The apology for phrasing was waved aside with an impatient swipe of Sasuke's sandwich in the air, Sasuke's expression taut with increasing shock and confusion. Not only was there -- an Uchiha who wasn't an Uchiha (and honestly, given the history of his clan, Sasuke was beginning to suspect that that should have been the least startling piece of information), but Naruto had gotten strong enough to be among that list of elite fighting him?

How much time had passed since Sasuke had last seen the shinobi world, that Kabuto was in a position to pose such a threat and Orochimaru's name was nowhere to be mentioned?

"What goal is that?" He asked finally, picking the most immediate concern. There were many things he could surmise from any overt goal of Kabuto's without betraying (or betraying even more) how far removed he had been from the situation this whole time. Lee made no mention of Uchiha other than not-Madara: that hadn't escaped Sasuke's attention.
