What he needed to consider was simple: whether he should take action tomorrow.
According to Shikaku Nara, Kumogakure would very likely send someone powerful over.

After all, quite a few talented people had appeared around him, even setting aside Qiong and Renka, the two female shinobi who had demonstrated exceptional ability in the Secretariat.
Nara Shikashiro alone, whom he had casually grabbed to help him handle things, had truly given
