Chapter 71 - 71 (2/2)
”Sakumo san, don't go near that tent. I sense a lot of Chakra there, despite the fact that the whole tent has only one person inside. It should be Shukaku's Jinchuriki.”
After that, it didn't take them much longer to eliminate all the sleeping Sensor Ninjas across the camp.
”Sakumo san, what's left now are the ones on patrol. We've already killed 62 Sensor Ninjas, and now we're left with 31 who are awake.”
”Ryo, how many people are patrolling the camp?”
”About 300. Like our camp, most of them are Sensor Ninjas and from the Barrier squad, with some Jonins to protect them.” Many of the Ninjas that Ryo has detected were watching the barrier. So he presumed that they were of the same class as those of Konoha.
”We should kill them all. Now we should act as fast as possible without ever being detected.”
After Ryo cut the communication, the two proceeded to action. The 300 patrol squads, mostly composed of Barrier and Sensor Ninjas, pose no problem for the White Fang Hatake Sakumo.
His method was simple and brutal. He'd rush in on them and retreat, killing them stealthily and quickly one at a time, and before they know it, a whole team would be dead.
Ryo didn't change his methods. However, he replaced the Thunder Chakra Mode blink with the use of his Ice Scalpel. He went in, located his targets, and placed his Ice Scalpels in advances.
With over a dozen of them placed in strategic place, Ryo teleported back and forth between them, killing his targets. In the blink of an eye, a whole other team was executed.
”Sakumo san, now that we've finished our mission, you leave ahead of me. I have something that I need to deal with.”
”No, the task has been completed, immediately retreat!”
”Sakumo san, I placed an Ice scalpel where we broke in. You go first; I'll follow you in 5 minutes.”
Sakumo knew of that Ice scalpel, so he was reassured and gave Ryo permission to stay that long.
After he left, Ryo took out his headband and put it into a Sensor Ninja's hand, then melted all the Ice Scalpels in the camp.
Ryo's purpose was to create doubts and give the Sand what seems to be a fake clue, affecting the Kazekage's judgment. As long as there's no action detected in Konoha's camp, the Sand shouldn't have them as their primary object of suspicion.
After being through with that, he ran to a place within 50 meters of Ice Scalpel on the left side of the camp; then he teleported there and rejoined Sakumo.
The two turned around and left, going straight towards Konoha's camp. On the way Ryo explained what he just did to Sakumo. This way, He made sure that Sakumo won't get the camp to do anything unusual in the three following days.
In Konoha's camp, Jiraya was still in Sakumo's tent waiting for the two to come. As time went by, he became more and more irritated.
”I hope Sakumo san and the Kid are okay. The enemy's camp is close; they should be here by now!”
”Of course we're okay!” Ryo's sudden appearance jump scared Jiraya, who finally was relieved when he saw Sakumo following Ryo slowly into the tent.
