Hearing Orochimaru state his position, Amado began weighing his options.
Allowing Owl, such a dangerous individual, to run rampant through the Shinobi World would indeed deal a huge blow to the Research Institute's reputation. But Amado also knew very well how troublesome a Six Paths level combatant who possessed shinjutsu could be.
Thus, the question before Amado was whether the Research Institute's reputation or its safety mattered more.
He quickly reached a decision and shook his head. "I can't bear the consequences of provoking a Six Paths level battle. If the arrest fails, Owl might attack the Research Institute. Things would become even more uncontrollable by then."
"Damn it!"
With a bang, Tsunade slammed her fist onto Amado's desk.
Orochimaru seemed to have anticipated Amado's decision long ago. He smiled and said, "Even if we don't carry out the arrest immediately, we should at least send someone to monitor that idiot, shouldn't we? He possesses shinjutsu and is an important asset of our Research Institute."
Amado said, "I've already arranged for an elite squad to monitor him!"
"It's useless!" Orochimaru shook his head. "Right now, aside from me, only Ada and Daemon in the Research Institute are capable of monitoring Owl. So I suggest sending Ada and Daemon!"
Tsunade agreed. "Ada has the Telescopic Eye. She's indeed a good candidate!"
Ada and Daemon were the anchors of Amado's control over the Research Institute. If he sent them out, the Research Institute would effectively be left defenseless, which he obviously could not accept. So he shook his head and said, "To me, the Research Institute's safety comes first. Ada and Daemon can't be deployed lightly!"
Tsunade said to Orochimaru, "Orochimaru, why don't you make the trip?"
"Looks like I'll have to put in some effort after all!"
Orochimaru shrugged. Without wasting
