In his words, you are all highly capable, and he can't beat you, but you've already ruined the ninja world, so what's the point of him playing anymore?
"Have you found the Black-Armored Man?" Tsunade, now recovered, asked Shikaku. The battle was escalating, and the hidden Black-Armored Man was their biggest worry. They had to be constantly on guard, as they never knew when he would suddenly appear and seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
"We haven't found them yet, but there's news that the Black-Armored People are in the Wind Kingdom, inside the former Loulan ruins. It seems they're temporarily unable to emerge due to some important matter or reason. However, we haven't sent anyone to confirm yet, for fear of alerting them," Lu Jiu said.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade asked, "Is the information reliable?"
“It should be reliable; this is what the masked man from the enemy said.” Shikaku nodded and said, “He and the black-armored man are just cooperating. The black-armored man is doing something very important, and the masked man probably wants us to interrupt what the black-armored man is doing. Because we don’t want to increase the number of enemies at this time, we haven’t sent ninjas to investigate yet.”
Tsunade asked, "Did they say what it was about?"
“Yes, they say it’s the former Loulan Dragon Vein, containing a huge amount of chakra,” Shikaku quickly said. “The black-armored man wants to use that chakra.”
"The Loulan Dragon Vein." Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze, who had been resurrected by Orochimaru using Edo Tensei, frowned and said, "I'll go investigate. The Loulan Dragon Vein is extremely powerful and has the ability to send people back to the past. If that black-armored man you mentioned is really that strong, we absolutely cannot let him continue."
"The power of time, so that's how it is. When he said that to Kabuto, he probably knew I wasn't dead yet and deliberately said it to me, waiting for me to break the Reaper Death Seal and bring the Nine-Tails inside Minato to Madara or him. He just didn't expect me to be on the Allied Forces' side." Orochimaru licked his lips and said, "Minato, I don't approve of you going to investigate. I've had some cooperation and contact with the Black Armor Man for a period of time. He's the kind of guy who won't act until he sees the benefit. He didn't catch the Nine-Tails, and he's waiting for you to come to him. With his strength, even if you have the Flying Thunder God Technique, there's a high chance he can catch you."
"I'll go instead. I don't have the Nine-Tails inside me," Tobirama Senju said. "Brothers, you should go deal with Madara Uchiha and that masked man."
"Then be careful," Hashirama Senju nodded and said.
"They're all dead, what's there to be careful about?" Tobirama said nonchalantly. "Besides, I don't have the Nine-Tails, at most I'll just be sealed away."
Orochimaru glanced at Tobirama Senju but said nothing.
