"This..."
Shikaku Nara fell into brief contemplation. He knew Muzan's strength, but knowing it and actually carrying out a mission were two different things.
The danger of Kannabi Bridge made it a key point in the Third Ninja War. If Iwagakure wanted to expand its gains, it could not avoid this place.
But with the words at the tip of his tongue, Shikaku Nara could not think of a way to stop him. With Muzan's strength, he was fully capable of leading a team there for support, especially with medical ninja involved—the chances of completing the mission would be even greater.
