Chapter 445: We’re Back
Jada swallowed. This was her first time meeting him, the leader of the Akatsuki, the same man who could level the Leaf Village.
"Where is Arthur?" the Naraka Path asked.
"He’s trapped in this orb," Alex said, holding the object tightly.
Konan’s amber eyes narrowed. She had a hard time believing that someone like Arthur Bennett—a man with such overwhelming power and knowledge—could be trapped in an orb by two seemingly simple Leaf ninjas.
"If this is true," Konan stated, "then give Arthur to us."
"No," Alex instantly answered.
Konan blinked. She hadn’t expected such a flat refusal given the disparity in their apparent stamina. Even Jada was a tad taken aback.
"Arthur was a rogue from the Leaf," Alex continued. "That makes him the Leaf’s priority, so I can’t hand him over."
"Then we’ll take him by force," the Naraka Path said.
Straightaway, Jada’s thoughts stirred. She could try to fight, but she was drained from the Susanoo usage. Alex himself didn’t look like he could reactivate his Tenseigan Chakra Mode. Against Pain and Konan, in this state, they would die.
Perhaps talking to the two Akatsuki would work. This was, after all, the perfect moment to try and convert Nagato and Konan, steering them away from Obito’s manipulation.
But could she do it? She wasn’t Naruto Uzumaki.
