As the atmosphere grows even more tense, the Konoha 11 who are still alive, along with several other notable figures, begin to file into the room. Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Hinata, Kiba, Lee, Tenten, and Sakura all enter, their expressions a mix of confusion and curiosity, unsure of what they're walking into. Along with them, Killer Bee and Gaara make their entrance, both with serious looks on their faces. They are all clearly unsettled by the news of the revived Kaguya, the White Zetsu army, and the threats that loom on the horizon.

As they enter, Brown Zetsu suddenly speaks up, his voice breaking through the uneasy chatter. "Kaguya is hungry. If you give her a meal she's happy with, she might send you a Brown Zetsu who has the strength of Naruto."

Minato, who has been silently observing, scoffs lightly, his voice dry and deadpan. "Oh, and there are 10,000 more just like him, right?" He sounds so matter-of-fact that the new arrivals, who had only just begun to process everything else, are now even more stunned.

The room falls silent, and everyone turns to look at Minato, who simply crosses his arms with an almost bored expression. His words are met with a collective gasp from the others, the Konoha 11 and their allies looking stunned by the sheer scale of what they're dealing with.

Sakura can't help but let out a frustrated sigh. "Ten thousand more?" Her voice shakes with disbelief.

Shikamaru rubs his temples in frustration. "This is getting out of hand. What do we even do at this point?"

Ino glances at Choji, who's equally stunned. "I… don't even know how to react anymore."

Killer Bee raises an eyebrow. "So, we give her food, and we get a Zetsu with the strength of Naruto? That's crazy, yo."

Gaara, always more stoic, glances toward Hashirama and Hagoromo, waiting for them to offer some insight into the situation. "What's the plan, then? Do we try to ally with Kaguya or prepare for the worst?"

The room is filled with murmurs as everyone processes what has been revealed. The Konoha 11 are now aware of how much stronger things have become, and the sheer magnitude of the White Zetsu army is starting to sink in.
