Todoroki guessed that the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki was most likely in Kusakure Village. This was a result he deduced when he knew the relevant information in advance.

Konoha obviously does not have these clues, at least until they figure out how Takigakure Village was invaded, they will not connect Kong Ninja with this incident.

After they found the relevant clues, they needed other clues to connect the three of Sora Ninja, Kusagakure and Iwagakure. Finally, through ancient rumors and stories, they were finally able to know that they had captured the Seven-Tailed Jinchilla.
