Earlier, quite a few people had indeed thought Mei Terumi was talking nonsense.
After all, Yagura was a jinchūriki.
How could he possibly be controlled?!
Had she forgotten even basic common sense?!
Throughout the Shinobi World, everyone agreed that jinchūriki could never be controlled.
Besides, Mei Terumi was still young.

They simply kept insisting on their own views.
But once Mei Terumi took her analysis a step further,

If they followed Mei Terumi's line of reasoning,

Kirigakure and Konoha had been at peace for some time.
If Konoha's Hokage died here now, or even if he was merely
