Chapter 764: Misunderstandings can be terrifying!
Aren't you forgetting something?" The Suna Council members looked at Chiyo in confusion. In the last few hours, they had debated all possibilities. Yet, Chiyo asked such a question.
Seeing that no one had an answer, Chiyo sighed and said, "You seem to have forgotten that Orochimaru was Hiruzen's student."
Her statement caused even more confusion. Ryusa asked, "What does that have to do wi…?"
Ryusa's eyes widened in horror as he realized something terrifying! His expression became a sight to see! So were the expressions of other council members who finally realized what Chiyo was hinting at!
Tojura muttered fearfully, "You mean that?"
Sajo muttered, "How can this be? Was it all a scheme? Did we fall so badly to Konoha's ploy?"
Chiyo replied, "Who can say? Perhaps only the leaders in Konoha would know. Regardless, we can't overlook the possibility of this being a trap set for us."
Goza said thoughtfully, "You're right. We completely overlooked this. It is possible that Orochimaru never betrayed Konoha. Instead, it was all an act to lure and weaken us! Perhaps they sensed our restlessness and sent Orochimaru to bait us.
Even though our spies reported that the Third Hokage and Orochimaru were injured, they didn't see them. Both may be just faking it!"
