For the major shinobi villages, Akatsuki was pressuring them, but not to an overwhelming degree. That was where the problem lay.
Without absolute pressure, it would be difficult for the Five Kage to unite wholeheartedly against Akatsuki.
"Hehe~~~ You have a point. Then let's wait and see."
With a smile, Ronglin did not press the matter further.
Time would provide the answer. Akatsuki would not remain patient for much longer. If Nagato and Black Zetsu wanted to pressure the major shinobi villages, they would certainly choose this moment to let the world witness Akatsuki's strength.

Spectators never feared things getting bigger. Ronglin was quite curious what decision Akatsuki would make. Would they start a war outright?
Or would they attack Kumogakure first, giving the Five Kage a warning? Ronglin felt the latter was more likely.

If Akatsuki did not respond, then it would not be Akatsuki.
