Chapter 163: Awakening Pills
Alice wasted no time in explaining that it was most likely the Sound Ninja Four who had taken Sasuke.
Tsunade herself had understood that Orochimaru's henchmen were indeed the ones who could have taken him, but she had prepared every security measure she could—including increasing the village's barrier range.
"Whoever took him," she said, "we can't waste time. Gather a team and bring him back!"
Alice nodded. She knew this scenario well—after all, she had seen these events before, albeit in her own world.
Her only regret that nagged at her was the absence of her friends—the other players who would have made traversing this obstacle so much easier.
William, Jada, and Margaret had left to either participate in or spectate some tournament being held far away. It was such a big deal over there that even the main character was selected to partake in it.
Jasper had left the village some time ago to do something secret in the Lightning Country, and Alexander was so preoccupied that she genuinely didn't know where he was.
Here she was, virtually on her own.
With a sigh, she thought about the options available to her. Chōji, Shino, and Hinata were available.
TenTen was also present in the village, but Alice couldn't shake her disdain for the girl's effectiveness. It was better to rely on those who would actually be useful.
This was a terrible situation to place a girl like her in. All the reputable characters who participated in this arc were missing. If she were to bring someone like Hinata into this arc, who knew what the outcome would be?
