The Ten-Tails was still very useful to Takemi. At the very least, he can use this Ten-Tails to accelerate the progress of his God tree.
'And there's more than one Ten-Tails. Isshiki still has another Ten-Tails in hand. I just don't know how much longer it will take for them to unfreeze.'
Sometimes, Takemi felt sorry for Isshiki, as he had possessed Obito's body. Obito, no matter how strong he became, seemed unable to fight without the help of Kamui.
This also meant that his tactical skills couldn't be trained at all, almost everyone was a first-sight kill. If he couldn't win, he could always find an opportunity to escape, or at worst, use Izanagi to protect himself.
It's practically cheating!
Takemi stroked his chin. But too much cheating was a disaster for Isshiki.
'It seems I need to find an opportunity to strike hard proactively, otherwise Obito won't be able to get enough improvement.'
"Hokage-sama!"
Just as Takemi was pondering, Inoichi suddenly spoke with some urgency.
"There's new information from the front lines."
"Oh?"
Takemi was startled. Mei, Deidara, and Gaara, who rarely spoke, all looked over curiously.
"What happened on the front lines? Does the Akatsuki have any new movements?"
"Yes, the core main force of the Akatsuki has appeared."
Inoichi, wearing specialized equipment, felt the intelligence gathered from the front lines, and he spoke very seriously.
"Not only them, but powerful Edo Tensei summons have also appeared on various battlefields, and even... the Kage of various villages."
"Tch, that's not surprising at all."
Deidara shrugged. He really wasn't surprised by such a thing.
Mei also nodded. Ever since Orochimaru had used Edo Tensei, such things were foreseeable.
Gaara, however, frowned and asked with some doubt, "Can you confirm which Kage they are?"
"Currently, it can be confirmed that, apart from no Hokage, the Kage of all other villages are present..."
Inoichi spoke somewhat awkwardly, but this made Deidara quite interested.
"All of them, huh? That's great!"
"Indeed, this isn't a bad thing..."
Gaara murmured, and even Mei raised an eyebrow.
"It seems our reaction was a bit slow, but meeting these former Kage doesn't seem like a bad thing after all."
"Takemi, should we go to the front lines and see?" Deidara suddenly straightened up and whispered.
"Just like when we went to Kumogakure. It's too boring to stay here. Even old man has gone, isn't it bad for us young people to stay here?"
"I think we can try."
Mei was extremely displeased with the Akatsuki. Whether it was their control over Kirigakure in the past, or their recent attack on Utakata or the subsequent sneak attack on the Fourth Mizukage, all of this made her unwilling to stay here any longer.
Moreover, now that her village's former Kage had appeared, she couldn't sit still.
"I also think we can take action. As Kage, we can't leave everything to our subordinates." Gaara also spoke seriously, apparently he also had no great interest in staying here.
"Is that so?" Takemi stroked his chin.
After a moment of thought, he nodded.
He was still thinking about how to 'help' Obito and the others speed up, and this time would be perfect for Black Zetsu to 'take' things.
Since that was the case, there was indeed no great meaning in staying here. He might as well go out and get some exercise.
"Since that's the case, let's take action too."
"What?" Shikaku's eyes widened when he heard this.
Not only him, but everyone else was also full of surprise. Why were these young 'Kage' so impatient?
"Isn't that too impulsive? Someone is still needed here—"
"Actually, you all are enough. Can't we contact each other at any time?"
Takemi didn't wait for Shikaku to finish speaking, but interrupted him with a smile and a shake of his head.
"Besides, the Third Hokage is still in Konoha. Just have him come over immediately to cooperate with you. Moreover, they have used Edo Tensei of Kage, we can't just watch."
"Is that so..."
Seeing this, Shikaku could only nod helplessly. He really couldn't command these Kage.
And the current situation was complex. Instead of waiting for the front lines to need reinforcements before dispatching these Kage, it seemed better for them to take the initiative and accelerate the war.
Thinking this, he no longer tried to stop them, and Takemi and the others had already stood up.
"Well then, let's prepare for action, especially you guys." A slight smile appeared on Takemi's face.
He twisted his neck and whispered, "Don't make a fool of yourselves in front of those old guys, especially in front of your own troops."
"Tch, how could that happen?"
Deidara grinned, Mei clenched her fists, and Gaara nodded gravely.
They wanted to see how those former Kage would perform.
Among the mountains, the Second Tsuchikage sensed the surrounding environment with his Chakra, and after a while, he spoke with some annoyance.
"There's a large amount of Chakra ahead. It seems we've been sent to the battlefield."
In his lifetime, he was not only the Second Tsuchikage, but also a super strong sensory ninja. He was very good at controlling the battlefield.
"However, it's surprising that all the villages have united this time."
"Tch, this isn't a bad thing. Are you expecting one village to deal with those annoying guys?"
The Second Mizukage with the mustache shrugged, but soon spoke with a helpless expression.
"Seriously, although you're a reliable guy, teaming up with you is really annoying."
"Hmph, same here."
The Second Tsuchikage snorted, probably unable to forget how they had died together back then.
"Do you think I like being with you, a guy covered in oil and without eyebrows? I won't hold back against your descendants."
"Tch, be careful not to overturn, zombie."
The Second Mizukage shook his head indifferently, but he also felt a bit emotional.
"Seriously, I have to face my descendants. I wonder how much they've grown. It's really not very pleasant."
"Perhaps, there will be some growth."
Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, finally couldn't help but interject. He was actually very confused.
He wanted to ask Chiyo who the current Fifth Kazekage was, but Chiyo seemed to have no intention of paying him much attention.
This situation made him somewhat awkward, but he understood. He knew that he had chosen the wrong side back then, causing Sunagakure to be in a lot of trouble.
'Sigh, if I hadn't made that choice back then, how much better could the situation have been?'
"Hm?"
Just as Rasa was feeling extremely depressed, suddenly, the Second Tsuchikage's expression changed slightly.
He had suddenly perceived a massive, despair-inducing Chakra erupting instantly. That Chakra was extremely gentle, as if facing nature, yet also incredibly violent, as if it wanted to destroy everything.
