"He certainly won't be able to sit still. With Rasa's personality, three days will be the limit, right? The seeds of doubt will take root in his mind, and then they'll definitely request to go onto the battlefield, only to get a scolding from Rasa."
Sōkyū Hatake took out an apple and handed it to Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Naturally. Rasa's personality could practically be called identical to Rasa's: suspicious and prone to getting the wrong idea," Orochimaru replied.
"Then the next outcome is obvious. Rasa will definitely go to Pakura, or Pakura will go to Rasa, and then the two of them will bring this issue to Rasa together." Sōkyū Hatake tapped his fingers against the tabletop, the knocking echoing through the room.
"And after that? What does our great prophet Sōkū think will happen?" Orochimaru looked at Sōkyū Hatake with a teasing expression.
In Orochimaru's eyes, Sōkyū Hatake was now the perfect prize. He could fight, dish out damage, and serve as a strategist. What could be better?
Damn it! I really want to dissect Sōkyū Hatake. If that won't work, how about letting me draw 2,000 cc of blood to study first?
"Next, I reckon they'll appear on the battlefield, but not the main battlefield. They'll be on the East and West Flanks," Sōkyū Hatake said confidently.
"That would mean the pressure on the eastern and western battlefields will be intense." Orochimaru took out a battle map and placed two red markers on the East and West Flanks.
"Exactly. It also means they won't keep probing like this. They'll launch an all-out offensive instead, and in that case, we won't have enough manpower," Sōkyū Hatake said with a frown.
He only wanted to develop his strength right now, not have the decisive battle arrive just like that.
