Hiruzen and the others probably didn't understand what Takemi meant.
But Takemi's malice and intentions towards Kumogakure…
Just look at Tobirama's excited expression, and you'll understand how excessive this guy is.
It could be said that every single one of them was pushing Kumogakure towards a dead end.
But precisely because this was extremely beneficial to the Konoha alliance, he immediately felt like he was going to have to bicker with Ōnoki and Genji again.
"Finally out."
However, this kind of bickering had little to do with Takemi. He wasn't the Hokage, so he didn't need to worry about so much.
What he was most curious about now was Tsunade's research and what changes would occur after he provided the key information.
"After all, Kakashi's eye probably won't last much longer."
Ever since Kakashi learned that his eye was unusual, his usage rate of it had not been low at all.
Heaven knows how much longer he could last, but Tsunade's research progress was not good.
So Takemi could only try to give a hint.
"And the Akatsuki has changed too. How interesting."
This news came from Kisame, but it was normal.
The Akatsuki was being 'swapped around' and beaten by him. If they didn't change, they wouldn't have a chance.
"It's just that I didn't expect the biggest victim to not be Black Zetsu, but Itachi?"
Takemi touched his chin, finding it a bit amusing.
But thinking about it carefully, Itachi had always been incredibly unlucky after meeting him.
And the Akatsuki also upheld the 'since they're not dead, use them to death' spirit.
They constantly made Itachi 'sit up in surprise from his deathbed,' repeatedly doing sit-ups there.
"This will only overdraw him more severely, but this seems to be a minor strengthening, right?"
Takemi wasn't sure how White Zetsu cells would affect Itachi, but he knew he might not be able to hold on.
Moreover, he was even more certain that no matter how much these people strengthened themselves, it would be useless.
As long as he didn't get sick and wasn't as idiotic as those Ōtsutsuki, there shouldn't be any problems.
"But I still need to pay a little attention to others. Never mind, I'll go deal with Naruto's problem first."
He was still thinking about Naruto's home visit, and speaking of which, Asura was really stingy.
For Sasuke, he only did one exclusive mission and had already given some 'special Yin Release Chakra'.
And for Naruto, this was already the second one, and he still didn't know what the reward was.
"After getting the reward, I'll go to the moon!"
Thinking to himself, he activated Flying Thunder God, and in an instant, he was back in his room.
"Ah, Takemi, you're back?"
He had just landed when he heard Karin's voice. Turning his head, he saw Karin and Naruto planting flowers.
Although they took turns watering his flowers and still managed to kill them, their attitude was impeccable, especially Naruto, who was exceptionally serious.
"Hehe, I've planted them for you."
Naruto chuckled, his face still covered in some dirt.
"You guys worked hard, you're treating tonight." Takemi plopped down, smiling at Naruto.
"Huh?!"
Naruto nodded, but in an instant, he seemed to have realized something.
"No? I'm treating? Hey, didn't I help you plant the flowers?"
"Didn't you guys kill them?"
"Even… even if that's the case, doesn't Karin have a share?"
"But her allowance isn't as high as your subsidy, besides…"
Takemi looked at Naruto, whose face had turned green, and waved at him.
"Come here, I still have something to try. Bear with it."
"What are you doing?"
Naruto reluctantly walked over and sat down, and Takemi had already placed his hand on his abdomen.
"Karin, set up a barrier. No matter what happens later, don't be surprised, and you, Naruto."
"Huh?"
Naruto was bewildered, but Takemi showed a mischievous smile.
"Tonight, you are definitely treating."
As soon as his words fell, his Chakra burst forth, and Naruto immediately felt a burning sensation in his abdomen.
At that very moment, a red Chakra burst forth from his body.
"Too reckless…"
Karin had actually already discovered the presence of that evil Chakra within Naruto's body. After all, being of the same surname as herself, she was very curious.
It was just that she wouldn't talk about such things. Everyone had their own secrets, just like Takemi.
"What exactly is Takemi doing?"
Although Karin was curious, she still obediently set up the barrier.
After coming to Konoha, she had learned many things, including various seals and barriers.
"However, there definitely won't be any problems."
Karin murmured, while Naruto was feeling a bit of pain at this moment.
He felt hot all over, and in a trance, he seemed to see a huge roaring Nine-Tailed fox.
"Focus your attention, stabilize your emotions."
Just then, Takemi's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Also, don't move around or struggle. With me here, there won't be any problems."
"You…"
Hearing this voice, Naruto slowly calmed down.
His trust in Takemi was unimaginable. He always thought Takemi's personality was extremely bad.
But…
This was his first friend, and strictly speaking, the first person to recognize him.
As Naruto tried to calm himself, Takemi quietly entered his mental world.
And the first thing Takemi did upon entering was to look down at the reflections in the water on the ground.
"It seems I can indeed control it very well."
Looking at his reflection, Takemi nodded in satisfaction.
"It's just not as convenient as directly entering with the Byakugan and Tenseigan, but this is enough."
Takemi slowly walked forward, and the Nine-Tails, sealed in a cage, seemed to react.
He opened his eyes and let out a series of gasps, but Takemi had no intention of wasting words with him.
Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique.
As he walked, Takemi held up one hand, and the roaring Chakra instantly reverberated throughout the entire mental space.
"Roar——"
The Nine-Tails let out a roar, and the huge cage was almost instantly torn open.
The Wood Dragon wrapped around it, instantly coiling tightly around the Nine-Tails.
"Hashirama? No! Who are you?"
The Nine-Tails roared, but Takemi's movements did not stop for a moment.
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I need your help. Just be quiet for a bit now."
Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique.
Boom——
A roar erupted again, and a giant Wood Golem quietly appeared, while Takemi's hand changed to another hand seal.
Wood Release: Advent of a World of Suffering.
The Wood Golem's palm pressed down on the Nine-Tails' head, and as the character 'Seat' appeared, the Nine-Tails instantly froze.
Its body swayed gently, and its nine tails seemed to droop powerlessly.
In just a moment, the entire fox had already fainted, with only two masses of Chakra slowly floating and condensing on the ground.
