After another round of discussion, the three of them agreed on Soji's plan.
"So this is luring the snake out of its hole, right?" Kakashi said with a smile.
"More or less. But Sakumo-senpai, you'll need to hold off the enemies attacking head-on. Kakashi will investigate the mastermind behind this, while I'll secretly protect the daimyo!" Soji assigned each of them their tasks.
"Don't worry. I'll act according to the plan. No matter who it is, I'll stop them!" Hatake Sakumo said with great confidence.
Soji did not mention that Shisui and Orochimaru were the ones coming to attack.
However, he was not worried that Hatake Sakumo would suffer any losses.
Since Shisui was on their side, he would most likely hold back. Orochimaru's target was Shisui, so he was even less likely to risk his life fighting Hatake Sakumo.
Besides, back when Orochimaru and Hatake Sakumo had still been in the village, they had been on quite good personal terms.
Now, one had defected from the village while the other no longer intended to return to Konoha. They could be considered somewhat kindred spirits.
Therefore, the strength Shisui and Orochimaru could bring out together would definitely be the kind where one plus one was less than two. Soji had no need to worry about Hatake Sakumo's safety.
If the Akatsuki Organization had sent two other full members, Soji might have been somewhat concerned. But with these two, there was no need.
Huh? What if Sasori was among the people sent by the Akatsuki Organization? Wasn't he one of their own too?
Then Soji could only say that they were overthinking it!
Had they forgotten who killed Sasori's parents?
If he encountered Hatake Sakumo, he would probably strike harder than anyone else. Even Soji would not be able to talk
