After they had agreed on how to keep in touch, Shinji sent Konan on her way.
Konan wasn't worried that "A" would stand by and do nothing. Jigen had sought out Nagato to target "A," so even if only to protect himself, "A" would take action.
Soon, Shinji and the others returned to the Flying Fortress.
Once Karin and the others, including Nameless, had also returned safely to the Flying Fortress, Shinji immediately proposed dealing with the problem of Otsutsuki Toneri on the moon once and for all.
"I agree!"
Neji was the first to speak.
Whether it was because of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's request or to avenge his father's stolen eyes, he wholeheartedly supported eliminating the threat on the moon.
After all, the Otsutsuki Branch Family on the moon had long been bent on destroying the Shinobi World.
The others naturally raised their hands in agreement as well. They weren't afraid of having no missions—they were afraid of having nothing to do.
Nameless asked, "Shinji, what about Jigen?"
Karin also looked over.
Shinji explained, "Jigen's situation is far more complicated than you imagine. In terms of combat strength alone, none of you could beat him one-on-one—not even close."
"What?!"
Everyone was taken aback.
Shion sounded unconvinced. "Even I can't beat him?!"
"That's right."
Shinji nodded slightly.
In truth, even he felt uneasy facing a full-blooded Otsutsuki. The Ten-Tails was still absorbing energy aboard T33, and without its vast reserves of Chakra, his Imperial God Palace wasn't nearly as invincible.
As for the people under his command...
If Ōtsutsuki Isshiki were fully unleashed, Shion might have a chance, since Sealing Technique could turn the tide of battle.
But the others—even the strongest among them, Karin and Nameless, or Neji and Kimimaro in their Fusion State—probably couldn't defeat Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
In the
