This incident could be said to have influenced the course of Kumogakure to some extent.
Blue B died because of it, and the Third Raikage was left with a wound that would never heal.
Soon afterward, Killer B was chosen as the new Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, and Kumogakure gradually entered a new era.
Since Orochimaru had brought it up, this was something they had to see through, no matter what.
After all, Blue B was about the same age as the Third Raikage, in the prime of his life. Word was that he was also a perfect Jinchuriki.
If the Hidden Village sent him to the battlefield, it would be very bad news for Konoha.
Killer B, on the other hand, was still relatively young. Having suddenly become the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he naturally wouldn't be able to bring out the full power of the Eight-Tails.
If the plan succeeded, it would amount to directly weakening Kumogakure.
"Ye Ning, what do you think of Orochimaru's plan..."
Tsunade pondered for a moment, wanting very much to reject the plan.
On the surface, the plan seemed to offer nothing but benefits for Konoha and the situation at the front. But in practice, carrying it out would be far more difficult than they could imagine.
As Kumogakure's Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B would surely be under layers of protection.
Even setting aside whether they could get past all those guards and reach Blue B, even if they managed to release the Eight-Tails and send it into a rampage, Orochimaru would be in extreme danger—his chances of surviving would be slim at best.
Kumogakure would lose an Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, while Konoha would lose a commander at the front. No matter how she looked at it, the trade wasn't worth it.
After all, they could train another Eight-Tails
