In the original story, no one took this seriously, even when Akatsuki abducted one Jinchuriki after another and sealed the tailed beasts inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path...
Because of Ronglin's intervention, every ninja village in the world had developed a strong aversion to Akatsuki. Especially after Akatsuki's attempt to take control of Kirigakure failed, everyone had become even more vigilant.
They had to guard against this organization carefully. They absolutely could not give it any opportunity to take advantage.
Kirigakure had only just managed to quell its troubles, suffering devastating losses and still being in the midst of recovery.
It would take a long time for it to regain its former strength, yet Akatsuki was already making new moves. How could Tsunade not be wary?
"Yes!!!"
A sharp glint flashed through Minato's eyes as he committed Tsunade's words to heart.
He left the Hokage's Office to select suitable candidates to accompany him to Sunagakure, rescue the One-Tail Jinchuriki Gaara, and uncover Akatsuki's purpose in abducting Jinchuriki.
"I hope we're not too late. And I hope nothing major has happened."
With Kirigakure as an example, every village now took Akatsuki very seriously whenever the organization was mentioned. Tsunade was no exception; she did not underestimate Akatsuki simply because Konoha was strong overall.
"Someone, deliver the scroll to the Fourth Hokage."
After thinking it over, Tsunade still decided to send the scroll to Ronglin.
Though more than a month had passed, Ronglin remained the same. If he said he would not help, then he would not help. No matter what happened, he refused to involve himself, only occasionally gathering intelligence.
Although Ronglin had spoken firmly, Tsunade always felt that he was concealing something, as though he were deliberately sulking and using excuses to shut her and everyone else out.
