Chapter 379
Then, Captain Yamato said after careful consideration: "In my opinion, since the spy who infiltrated Orochimaru's side knew that Scorpion would go to the Tiandi Bridge, it would be safer for him to disguise himself as Scorpion and approach there."
Sakura also agreed with this: "If Scorpion has not shown up, then the other party may not show up either."
Captain Yamato had obviously considered this point long ago: "This possibility is indeed not small."
Naruto understood the meaning of the conversation between the two and supported his face with his hands. "In this case, isn't it meaningless..."
"After all, espionage is a high-risk activity, so the other party must be extremely cautious."
Sakura noticed that when Sai said this, Captain Yamato involuntarily turned his gaze to him with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, but Sai looked directly at him without any hesitation.
Naruto, however, looked at Captain Yamato without noticing anything, "So, Captain Yamato is going to pretend to be Scorpion?"
"That should be it." Captain Yamato said thoughtfully, taking out a yellowed photo from his arms.
The photo showed a man wearing a black cloak and with a stern face. He was the puppeteer known as the "Scorpion of the Red Sand".
Captain Yamato stared at Scorpion in the photo, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Scorpion often hides in his carefully crafted puppet, and I, who can use Wood Release Ninjutsu, can naturally take on this role more easily. After all, in order to perfectly imitate Scorpion's fighting style and skills, precise control of chakra and tacit cooperation with the puppet are essential. And these are exactly the areas I excel in."
Sakura watched as Captain Yamato gently stroked the edge of the photo, as if she was feeling Scorpion's aura from the past.
For Captain Yamato, this enemy who once posed a huge threat to Konoha Village was something he was both deeply wary of and full of admiration for.
Sakura nodded. It was true. After all, Captain Yamato's Wood Release Ninjutsu was superb. Plus with his body shape and voice, it was worth a try.
Captain Yamato then said in a low voice, "Also, if this is a trap set by Akatsuki, I will have to approach it alone first."
This sentence also made Sakura fall into memories. The experience at that time was still vivid in her mind. That guy, what he said at that time... should not be a lie. "Although I think that what he said on his deathbed is probably not a lie, and there is indeed a spy named Yura in the Sand Village who belongs to [Akatsuki]..."
Captain Yamato had a serious expression and a powerful voice, with an unquestionable majesty that made people feel awed. "This is just a precautionary measure to prevent any unexpected situations. So, what you have to do now is to stay where you are, don't go anywhere, and wait for my further instructions."
However, Captain Yamato said the following sentence while looking in Naruto's direction, "Remember, no one is allowed to act rashly without my order!"
"The spy is undoubtedly..."
Why didn't this guy just finish his sentence? But now that he had come to this point, Sakura couldn't help but look at Sai, looking forward to his next words.
“He’s a pretty powerful character.”
It’s okay not to say this. Really, what on earth am I expecting?
Captain Yamato made a silent gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said seriously: "Okay, let's get back to the topic, and I will tell you in detail about the details of this mission.
Remember, the only purpose of our operation this time is to capture the target person alive. We must not let him suffer any harm or put his life in danger, even during the battle!
If we kill him by mistake, we will lose an extremely important intelligence channel, which will bring great trouble to subsequent work. Therefore, it can be said that this task is far more difficult and complicated than defeating the enemy.
Considering that this mission is quite difficult and thorny, I have decided to lead the charge and you will be responsible for providing support.
First, I will capture the target directly; second, if I fail to capture the target and the situation escalates and a battle breaks out, you must immediately join the battle, but the timing of joining the battle must follow the signal instructions I send.
If it really develops to the second stage, we must ensure that people act together.”
