I take Aoda as those characters that challenge a guy and after getting utterly defeated by them, pledge loyalty to them, knowing their superiority. I can imagine either MS/EMS/Hebi Sasuke challenging Aoda or Aoda himself challenging Sasuke, probably because he's the reason, Manda the largest Snake got killed. And after losing, he pledged loyalty to him and such. It really seems so. Since the earlier snake summon, Manda was aggresive, this was polite and loyal. And I kind of liked it. Since Katsayu is more of friend, helper to Sakura and Gama and Naruto act more like best buddies rather than a summon. And I can't see Aoda acting like Gama nor as Katsayu, his loyal polite personality matches for a snake coming after Manda. And it thus makes him different from other summons.

Did a quick research on this new traitor, apparently the character is not new, he was introduced in Shikamaru Shinden. So, it's either a genjutsu, an imposter, or Yurito was just always a spy, this makes me wonder if there's some remenants of the Root left in the Village.

+ obviously the statues are unfortunate snakes turned to stone by Garaga. Yeah, I wonder what would happen if removing Garaga's scale automatically makes the statue victims to be normal, I mean won't they be surrounded by hungry giant snakes?
