"Yes, understood."
Shikaku Nara immediately agreed. "I'll keep contacting Lord Jiraiya and urge them to reinforce the Main Battlefield."
Then he paused and asked, "What about your situation, Lord Naraku? Do you need reinforcements?"
"No." Naraku refused firmly. "The battle on my end is fine. Although I can't finish Madara Uchiha off anytime soon, he's definitely no match for me."
That was good!
Shikaku breathed a sigh of relief.
If Naraku could win his battle against Madara, that would naturally be best.
But even if he lost, Shikaku didn't want anything to happen to Naraku.
To the Allied Shinobi Forces, Naraku was now their greatest source of confidence and support. If he fell into danger, the situation would immediately take a turn for the worse.
"There's one more thing..." Shikaku told him that Dodai was heading to the Main Battlefield to take command. "We considered that the major divisions would have too many ninja after being reorganized. Without an overall commander, there's a very real chance of oversights in our battle deployments."
"With the other ninja having to participate in combat, sending Lord Raikage to the front to command the Allied Shinobi Forces is the best choice."
Naraku naturally had no objection to this. He nodded. "Well done. Proceed according to your plan."
"But haven't you forgotten to notify someone? What about the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi?"
Uh...
Shikaku fell silent for several seconds before explaining, "Because Lady Mizukage has to protect the Daimyo, we didn't include her."
Shikaku and the Staff Department naturally wouldn't forget someone as important as Mei Terumi, a Kage-level fighter.
Even if someone forgot, the others would remind them.
It was just that Mei Terumi was responsible for protecting the Daimyo of the various nations. That mission was too important for them to readily transfer
