Roar!
The newly revived Two-Tails, Matatabi, abruptly opened her eyes. Those eyes, devoid of any emotion, were now filled with savage fury.
Clusters of blue flames burned across her enormous body. Even Akame and the others, far away, could feel the searing heat.
Matatabi rose directly from where she had been lying on the ground, and a ferocious aura began spreading in all directions.
"Haha, looks like something big is about to happen!"
"Shut up! Stay put!"
Kakuzu shot Hidan a glare, warning him not to act rashly. It was not yet their time to move.
There was no need to say anything. One look at the situation made it clear that a major battle was inevitable.

According to the battle plan Akatsuki had agreed on earlier, if Kumogakure's people managed to capture or seal the revived Two-Tails immediately, they had to intervene at once. Whatever happened, they could not let Two-Tails fall into Kumogakure's hands.
But if the revived Two-Tails went berserk, they would watch first and let Kumogakure's Ninja take the lead. Ideally, Akatsuki would only appear once both sides had suffered heavy losses.
When two sides fought, a third reaped the rewards.

"What's going on, Aba?"
Killer B asked somewhat anxiously. Although he had brought so many Cloud Ninja and had prepared for a fight, avoiding one would be best.
Otherwise, subduing Two-Tails would certainly cost many Cloud
