Jiraiya said, "But seriously, they don't seem to have set a time to start the war, or even a decisive battle location, why is it so childish?"
"Indeed, it's simply a makeshift operation." Tsunade nodded.
Hiruzen appeared more cautious. "We can't underestimate them, after all, Orochimaru is with them, perhaps they intend to attack from various directions."
"Or perhaps they want to constantly wear us down first." Minato interjected.
"After all, troop mobilization consumes a huge amount of resources. We don't know their situation, but we probably can't endure it."
"Then what should we do?" Hashirama asked curiously.
He scratched the back of his head and said, "Should we go scout them? If we can find them, it would be much simpler."
"If we could find them, we would have already wiped them out." Tobirama looked at his elder brother disdainfully.
Takemi thought for a moment and then spoke, "Actually, this is good too. Although the consumption is high, we can test the Daimyō's support for us."
"Daimyō?"
Takemi's words instantly made everyone present stunned for a moment. Immediately after, except for Tobirama whose eyes lit up, everyone else's eyes darkened.
"No, at this point, you're still thinking about the Daimyō, Takemi?" Kakashi rubbed his temples, but Takemi took it for granted.
"This is the time to test the Daimyō's loyalty. After all, the entire Ninja World is in crisis. If he doesn't support us now…"
"Then it's necessary to replace him with a more obedient Daimyō, one who is more willing to support us in protecting the fruit of peace."
Tobirama didn't waste words, he directly took over Takemi's sentence and spoke, "A bunch of parasites who are self-important just because they have some money. Not killing them already shows legitimacy and legality."
"Exactly, exactly."
Although Takemi sometimes found the 'Tobirama' unit of measurement to be terrible, at other times it was excellent.
"Actually, for most people, it's fine to have a suitable Daimyō as a mascot and to pay money. Who the Daimyō is is completely irrelevant."
"Alright, alright, let's leave this topic for now."
Hiruzen, seeing the harmonious relationship between the Fifth and Second Hokage, couldn't hold back anymore.
And everyone else remained silent at this moment, as this was already commonplace. Even Minato had 'seen' such scenes many times.
"Let's discuss other arrangements, we cannot be too passive."
"We can't do anything about those guys not showing up for now, but this also gives us ample time."
Takemi stroked his chin, then spoke, "Sasuke's eyes should be properly dealt with now, and besides that, Naruto's Nine-Tails power seems incomplete."
"Exactly, half of the Nine-Tails' power is still inside me." Minato instantly understood what Takemi meant, he nodded and spoke.
"A complete Nine-Tails can unleash stronger power, this matter is feasible."
"Sasuke's eyes should indeed be dealt with. After all, it's been delayed for so long." Tsunade nodded, she had been in charge of this matter all along.
Although there was no definite answer, she also felt it was about time.
"We can try some things. At worst, we can use some of those cells, there will always be a solution."
"That's fine then."
Takemi nodded.
Although the growth of these two boys was no longer as crucial as before, having more good 'helpers' was definitely not a bad thing. He was also very eager to see what the Sage of Six Paths would do. In fact, if there was an opportunity, they could even meet him.
This conference lasted for a long time, as there were simply too many details to discuss.
Various mobilizations and coordinations needed to be thoroughly prepared. It wasn't until late at night that Takemi was able to return home.
"Finally, I'm done with all the work, it's so troublesome."
Upon returning home, Takemi immediately released a God Tree Clone, while he himself entered Amenominaka. After all, he had gained so much benefit, and he needed to properly process it.
"I never thought you'd store such a huge god tree in Amenominaka"
Just as Takemi had entered, Kaguya inside him exclaimed.
The colossal towering tree overshadowed everything, with immense energy constantly reverberating within it.
Such a large tree would make even an Ōtsutsuki feel surprised.
"Moreover, your god tree seems a bit off." Kaguya's cool voice continued, her tone seemingly carrying a hint of doubt.
"Why does it seem to contain my power, and besides that, Isshiki's power?"
"I must say, your perception isn't bad."
Takemi looked at the giant tree he had cultivated, a smile playing on his lips.
"That black thing has your Chakra, and I once met him, so I extracted some Chakra from him."
"Black…"
Kaguya immediately understood what was going on, which made her expression a bit unsightly, but she didn't dare to say too much.
"What about Isshiki? You didn't absorb his energy?"
"At that time, he was only in the third stage of Karma. I extracted the Karma's Chakra." Takemi shook his head, speaking seriously.
"Mainly, I wanted to see what was in his memories, and I pretty much know those things, so…"
Takemi didn't say, but Kaguya basically understood. The rest was naturally fed to the tree by Takemi.
"No wonder your god tree is so massive. Even without expanding, it's enough to be astonishing."
Kaguya nodded, then spoke with some emotion, "But that massive god tree, you've given it so much energy, yet you haven't let it condense a fruit, it's too extravagant."
"How so?"
Takemi tilted his head, curious, and Kaguya didn't hide anything.
"This means that to fully nurture it, the energy required is enormous, haven't you noticed it hasn't fully awakened yet?"
"Indeed, but mainly because I haven't gone for the kill on the Jinchuriki, so the replenished Tailed Beast Chakra isn't much."
Takemi stroked his chin, casually replying.
Kaguya shook her head and said, "For it, energy production isn't complicated, and it has no place to consume its own energy. It's just that you've nurtured it too well, which is why it's like this."
"That's not necessarily true."
Takemi raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't interested in telling Kaguya that this thing wasn't the Ten-Tails in the hands of other Ōtsutsuki.
This was a good thing that would absolutely never betray him, constantly providing him with energy, and continuously allowing him to transform.
His ocular techniques, aside from those inherent to the Tenseigan, were all brought about by this god tree source.
"Think what you will. I'm also genuinely curious to see what kind of fruit it can bear."
Kaguya didn't care, she just looked at the god tree curiously.
"For it to condense a fruit, the power required will be immense, and once it condenses a fruit, it will probably be unimaginable."
"Is that so?"
Takemi flashed to the dome, casually picked up the 'pill' condensed by Momoshiki, and said with a smile.
"It seems my path ahead is still very long. I still need to work harder."
But as he spoke, Takemi froze, because he suddenly remembered something.
Isshiki, and the remains of Ōtsutsuki Shibai!
If he used the remains of this one closest to the Ōtsutsuki God as a sacrifice, the energy contained within…
Takemi stopping mid-sentence, then falling into silent contemplation, made Kaguya frown. Suddenly, a bad thought popped into her head.
'Oh no, he wouldn't be worried about there not being enough Ōtsutsuki, would he…'
'That would be terrible…'
