Well, to me it just sounds like he's going to get them out and use them. If he's meaning it sniper style, it may just mean he's going to use the tailed beasts now because they are currently being sealed by the Rinnegan or something like that. I don't know how you would get Konan in there.

I still see her playing a part, though. She's still in charge of the land of the rain, was it, right now?
