The plan was set...
Especially the arrangements for Tsunade.
After that...
Everyone simply waited for the enemy to attack.
And Hiruko did not disappoint Hyuga Sho.
That very night...
He concealed it from Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki Organization.
And came to Konoha to stir up trouble.
Since Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were not Pain's subordinates.

And Yamato.
