Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

When Toru Ito carried the tied-up, already unconscious Sunaman and quickly returned to the gathering place in a few leaps, Hatake Sakumo, who had been anxiously waiting for news, finally felt relieved after seeing him.

"Huh...you're finally back."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have already dealt with the other four puppeteers. What should I do next?"

So fast?

Ito Toru was a little surprised.

Although I had some expectations about Konoha White Fang's speed, I didn't expect it to be this fast.

You know, it only took him a few minutes to capture the puppeteer.

Toru Ito thought he was extremely fast, and during the battle he took advantage of the opponent's carelessness and defeated him in seconds.

But Hatake Sakumo is still so fast!

But think about it, all the puppets controlled by these puppet masters to participate in the battle were destroyed and basically had no combat capability.

Puppet masters without their puppets are like shellfish without the protection of their shells, weak and vulnerable to any attack. Hatake Sakumo only needs to be responsible for hunting and killing, and his hunting and killing ability is among the best.

Such efficiency is not difficult to accept.

Compared to Toru Ito, Hatake Sakumo was even more surprised.

The plan that Toru Ito told him included the option of capturing the puppeteer alive, and he repeatedly assured him that there would be no problem.

Even so, Hatake Sakumo hesitated for a long time before letting Ito Toru take the risk alone. He didn't expect that the plan would go so smoothly!

According to the plan, Toru Ito would try to capture the weakest puppeteer alive, but at that time it was not certain which puppeteer was the weakest, so everything was unknown.

Capturing someone alive is something that Hatake Sakumo cannot do. He only knows how to kill people, so capturing someone alive is very difficult for him. If it is handed over to other ninjas, they may not be able to do it.

After much thought, Toru Ito himself was the only one who could take action.

After all, this is very important to the battle situation.

If he was in an advantageous position now, he naturally wouldn't need to worry too much, but since he was at a disadvantage, he had to do something to turn the situation around.

After all... Orochimaru's ending was not caused in one day.

It was the continuous accumulation and blows, as well as the collapse of faith, that pushed him step by step into despair.

Toru Ito was not clear about what exactly happened, but he knew that if he left it alone, the plot would continue to develop as originally planned, and it would inevitably lead to the same ending as the original.

So some changes are needed from now on, and this battle is the beginning of the change.

If it were the original Hatake Sakumo, he might not have thought of defeating the puppeteer troops blocking the way, and the losses would have been even more severe.

He will have more pressure in his heart, and after the support troops with heavy casualties arrive at the front-line camp, the pressure on Orochimaru will inevitably increase even more.

Now, all that has begun to change.

At the moment it is just a butterfly, flapping its wings slightly.

Then, it is still unknown what kind of storm will come next.

"I'll leave this to you, Hatake-sama."

After Ito Toru finished speaking, he handed the prisoner in his hand over to Hatake Sakumo.

Interrogation is a complex and difficult matter. It is not the most suitable task choice for a ninja who practices medical ninjutsu.

In addition, knowing when to stop is also crucial. Ito Toru knows that over-displaying one's strength may bring unexpected troubles.

At the same time, knowing too much information is not always a good thing.

His goal was clear: just a tiny intervention, a slight nudge in the world line.

If you have to rely on yourself to control everything, it will be extremely exhausting...

"Okay, go and take a rest. Planning these plans must have exhausted you." Hatake Sakumo said with concern. He himself didn't even realize that, unknowingly, Toru Ito had gradually become an indispensable core figure of this team.

However, Ito Toru had already keenly perceived this change. Because of this, he began to consciously reduce his presence. Handing over the captured Sandman would not only quickly distract everyone's attention, but also avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Toru Ito's strategy was very effective. The Konoha ninjas soon shifted their attention to the captured Sunaman. You know, it's rare to see a ninja being captured alive.

Especially since he is the opponent's puppeteer.

Everyone was ready to go, determined to be extremely careful and not let this guy escape.

Only Hongdou's attention was still on Ito Toru. She had seen Ito Toru's interrogation methods, so she knew that if he took action, it would be easy to extract information from him.

However, Toru Ito simply handed the prisoners over to Hatake Sakumo and then kept his merit and fame to himself.

This is very unusual!

"Ito, what are you thinking about?"

Hongdou came over and asked quietly, "Why don't you interrogate that guy? Maybe we can follow the clues and make another big move!"

Although the experience of being a bait just now was thrilling, I felt very excited after it was over.

It made her blood boil.

Red Bean seemed to be born with ninja blood, Ito Toru thought, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, it's getting dark now. If we can't get there in time, there will be a lot of trouble."

"For example, the Sand Hidden Clan could disguise themselves as us and sneak into the camp, or they could attack the camp at dark. This way, when we just arrive, we won't be able to distinguish between friend and foe, and we'll fall into even greater chaos!"

"hiss--"

After listening to Ito Toru's analysis, Hongdou took a deep breath, and the look she gave him was filled with surprise, admiration, and relief.

Luckily he is on our side...

It is hard to imagine how bad the situation would be if such a strategist was in Shayin!

Although what Toru Ito said just now was just a simple analysis, if you think about it carefully, you can find the danger in it!

If Sand Village really fights in this way...

"So, if this happens, how should we deal with it?"

Hongdou couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Of course, we'll leave it to Orochimaru-sensei to deal with."

Ito Toru's mouth twitched, and then he replied:

"I'm just a medical ninja. I'll just hide somewhere and wait for the battle to be over."

"I advise you to find a place to hide. It would be wrong to fight back against such a night attack. But if it is Master Orochimaru, he might be able to give a good solution."

"..."

Hongdou rolled her eyes.

Doesn't this mean you haven't said anything?
