Chapter 257

"It would be one thing if they brought Naruto along, since Naruto's connections and strength are well-known; even if they were unhappy, they wouldn't dare retaliate openly. But they actually..."

People in the viewing area shook their heads, mocking them one after another!

"What should we do now?"

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice!

That depends on what those few intend!

Nara Shikaku gestured with his head toward Minato, Obito, and Nagato, then said in a low voice!

Everyone sitting there knew very well that the members of the Akatsuki organization were extremely powerful. Even if everyone knew their intelligence, defeating them would be very difficult!

Among those known in the ninja world capable of taking them on in one-on-one, or even one-on-many fights, besides those few mentioned above, there was only Might Dai!

Guy was still young at this time and could not yet fully control the Eight Gates!

And the cost for Might Dai to face them was too high, so he was not within the range of consideration!

Seeing Nara Shikaku look over, the three of them showed no reaction!

For Obito and Nagato, they weren't very familiar with these people and didn't feel it was worth risking their lives over their problems!

And for Minato, although they were heads of various clans, their relationship with Minato was merely average!

Even if they died, it would at most be a matter of replacing a clan head; it wouldn't have much impact on the overall situation!

"Sigh, why didn't you drag Naruto into this at the time!"

Nara Shikaku thought with some helplessness!

If Naruto were there, the three of them naturally wouldn't be able to sit idly by!

PS: Sorry everyone, New Year's Eve is really quite busy, I'll just update this much for now! I'll make up for the rest tomorrow! ===== CHAPTER 259 =====
