Chapter 217: Ch.217 Assessment
Hidden within "Hiruko," Sasori swayed his tail: "We are all most-wanted criminals of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, don't be nervous!"
Night Owl snorted coldly: "Don't lump us together with you! If you want me to deal with the Five Great Shinobi Villages, then you'd better put that thought out of your mind. We're not looking to get ourselves killed!"
"Tch!"
Deidara spat disdainfully from the side, his expression full of contempt.
Feeling belittled, Night Owl grew furious, but recalling that the other side were members of the Akatsuki—whom even the Five Great Shinobi Villages feared—he forced himself to suppress his anger.
Sasori spoke in a hoarse voice: "Do you think you have the right to refuse?"
Night Owl frowned: "What exactly are you up to? Don't push us too far!"
"Our request is very simple. As long as you accomplish it, we'll spare your life!" Pausing, Sasori continued, "Relax, we're not asking you to take on the Five Great Shinobi Villages. We just want you to help us abduct a few students from the Hidden Leaf shinobi Academy."
Hearing that the targets were merely academy students, Night Owl breathed a sigh of relief.
But considering that the request came from the Akatsuki, and that the students they were concerned with clearly wouldn't be ordinary, he asked, "Which students?"
Sasori tossed over some documents.
