As the discussion about Kaguya's potential assistance continues, Tsunade steps forward, her expression filled with urgency. "We're about to face a battle that could cost countless lives. Is there any way we can ask Kaguya for help now, so fewer people have to die? Surely, she wouldn't want that on her conscience."

The room falls silent as everyone waits for a response. Brown Zetsu steps forward with his usual calm demeanor, though there's a hint of amusement in his eyes. "You can ask," he begins, "but Kaguya has her own reasons for what she does. She values her creations, yes, but her focus is her own planet, not this world. However, I can give you five White Zetsu. They are all at Kage level, but that's the extent of it for now."

The group exchanges wary glances. Onoki then speaks up, his voice heavy with experience. "Five? That's it?" He shakes his head. "Considering how vast their army is, five might not seem like much, but I suppose it's better than nothing. I just wish we could ask for more, given the scale of the threat we're facing."

Tsunade nods, accepting the limited help with a sigh. "It's better than nothing. I'll take what we can get." This work was created by shredder121

Naruto clenches his fist, determined. "Five White Zetsu, huh? We'll make do with what we have. We've come this far—this won't stop us."

As the conversation turns back to battle preparations, there's a sense of unease. They are getting help, but it's clear that their next challenge will test every last one of them.
