Chapter 177: Ch.177 Probing
As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, the advisory elders all looked at Tsunade.
The current situation was very delicate.
The Akatsuki threw out Yugito, instantly drawing away a large number of elites from the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and now they've sent someone to infiltrate the village and abduct Naruto.
No one could say for certain whether the Akatsuki had more moves planned.
So, as Hokage, the Third chose to stay in the village.
But the one who abducted Naruto was 'A,' one of the strongest members of the Akatsuki. Among those in the village who could stand against 'A' were only the advisory elders and Tsunade.
Tsunade hesitated slightly before nodding.
This time, she didn't refuse.
Because just before Jiraiya led the team out, he had asked her to protect Naruto. She had just agreed, and now Naruto had been abducted by the Akatsuki. How could she tolerate that?
Seeing Tsunade agree, the Third Hokage's worried face finally relaxed.
Sasuke then volunteered, "That guy took Naruto right in front of me. I want to be part of this mission!"
