Shihōin stopped keeping track of time and thinking about the outside world.
Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Shikaku-all of them were trustworthy.
With them overseeing Konoha's Chunin Ninja Exams, nothing would go seriously wrong.
As for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Ōtsutsuki Pushi, who had escaped, Naraku was not particularly worried about them either.
