"That would be best, and I believe our captain definitely has what it takes! Besides, the ninja they send to stop us this time generally won't be very strong. I think they'll send ordinary ninja against us for the first few encounters."
"Later, the closer we get to our teammates on the front line, the stronger the ninja they'll send to stop us! I've already figured out their entire strategy!"
"I think their plan is to send ordinary ninja against us so we'll mistakenly believe they'll keep sending ordinary ninja later on, making us lower our guard. Then they'll send powerful ninja to attack us by surprise and catch us off guard!" Ruri said, looking at the four of them.
After hearing Ruri's words, the four of them fell into thought.
"If that's the case, aren't they underestimating us a little too much?" Uchiha Itachi raised his head and looked at Ruri as he spoke.
At that moment, Ruri slowly stood up, then looked down and said to them, "That's not so strange. After all, we're all young ninja. They think we have no combat experience!"
"And they're sending ordinary ninja against us so we can take them all out. That's their objective!"
After hearing Ruri's words, the four of them immediately grew puzzled. They looked at Ruri and asked, "Their objective?"
"Yes, exactly. Their objective is to let us kill all the ordinary ninja and give us a sense of accomplishment. Then, at the very end, some high-level ninja will suddenly show up and catch us off guard. Only then will they have a chance of winning!"
"They're stopping us from delivering the scroll to our teammates at any cost. That proves they place great importance on this scroll, and they also place great importance on winning this war!"
