The sudden appearance of a golden fox startled the Kumogakure reinforcements.
"Oh no, it's Konoha's Nine-Tails!"
The Third Raikage's right-hand man quickly recognized the Nine-Tails and then looked at Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, beside him.
Compared to Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, was not particularly skilled in applying the Tailed Beast's power.
Facing Nine-Tails now, it was uncertain if Two-Tails could even put up a fight.
However, if it was indeed the Nine-Tails they were facing, then it seemed only the Two-Tails could engage in battle.
He wondered how Eight-Tails and the others were doing.
"Leave it to me." Yugito looked at the massive golden fox, her heart filled with fear.
This aura seemed even stronger than the giant beast within her, but thinking that Nine-Tails intended to harm her village's people, she knew she had to act.
Even though her relationship with Two-Tails was not yet very good, and she might not be able to fully withstand Two-Tails' power, at this moment, she had no choice but to do so.
Yugito gathered Chakra in her hands and slapped her abdomen. Soon, Two-Tails was released.
Two-Tails' size was slightly smaller than Nine-Tails, but in terms of aura and Chakra volume, Two-Tails was far inferior to Nine-Tails.
"Roar!"
As if sensing Yugito's emotions, or perhaps due to the Tailed Beasts' unyielding spirit, even when facing Nine-Tails, Two-Tails still let out an defiant roar.
"Hmph, futile resistance." Kushina snorted lightly, returning consciousness to Nine-Tails.
Her relationship with Nine-Tails was good now, and she knew that Nine-Tails was simply too bored inside her. She didn't mind giving Nine-Tails the opportunity to fight. As for herself, she would have plenty of opportunities to fight.
Yes, only the battles with Tailed Beasts were given to Nine-Tails. Nine-Tails' nine tails swayed constantly, looking at Two-Tails not far away with great interest.
Facing Nine-Tails' ill-intentioned gaze, Two-Tails was enraged.
So, you want to beat Eight-Tails first, and then Two-Tails?
Although Two-Tails was not considered strong among the Tailed Beasts, it was still a Tailed Beast and possessed its own pride. Of course, the most crucial point was that Two-Tails had not had an easy life over the years. It had long since grown tired of this kind of existence.
If one were to truly consider it, Nine-Tails seemed to be somewhat responsible for why they, the Tailed Beasts, were trapped in the dark and sunless bodies of Jinchuriki.
If not for Nine-Tails and Madara attacking Konoha and being captured by Hashirama, Hashirama wouldn't have thought of them and then rounded them all up, distributing them to various countries.
Therefore, Nine-Tails' problem in all of this was not just a minor one.
Even though Nine-Tails might have been controlled by the Sharingan, Hashirama was already dead, so revenge could only be sought from Nine-Tails.
Thus, the two Tailed Beasts engaged in a physical brawl in broad daylight, simultaneously dragging a group of Kumogakure ninjas into the fray.
"This place is good, but it's also time for me to find Danzo." Kazuki's gaze was profound as he looked towards Danzo's location.
At some point, even from the moment he was born into the Ninja World, Kazuki had regarded Danzo as a hypothetical enemy.
Of the countless scapegoats in the Ninja World, Danzo accounted for half.
Kazuki had worried that Danzo would target him.
However, fortunately, his luck was quite good. When he was weak, he received protection, and after he became strong, even if Danzo wanted to target him, there wasn't much he could do. Moreover, Kazuki had displayed extraordinary abilities.
Even though Hiruzen was unwilling to let Kazuki become Hokage, he eventually changed his tune.
Of course, Danzo targeting him was one thing, and Kazuki wasn't much affected, but ultimately, Danzo was too disappointing.
Kazuki initially wanted Danzo to bear the responsibility of attracting hatred, helping him unite all those who held grievances against Konoha and him.
But Danzo, had been a rogue ninja from Konoha for so long and had done nothing. He hadn't even tried to win over Fugaku. Danzo was simply a good-for-nothing.
...
"That's Nine-Tails!"
In Kumogakure, Danzo's expression was not very good.
His life in Kumogakure was not easy. Those damned guys constantly tried to monitor him. This made Danzo regret it. Perhaps he shouldn't have defected from Konoha. As long as he was still in Konoha, no one could do anything to him, given his relationship with Hiruzen.
Perhaps he shouldn't have come to Kumogakure. With his own abilities, he could have built a village of his own.
Here in the Land of Lightning, although his whereabouts were concealed, it also cost him his freedom.
Danzo had no doubt that if possible, these Kumogakure brutes would definitely not hesitate to kill him and obtain Edo Tensei from his head. It was precisely because of this that Danzo hadn't dared to sleep for too long these past few years.
Nine-Tails' aura quickly caught his attention, which made his face turn grim.
Back in Konoha, Danzo had coveted Nine-Tails' power for a long time.
During the First Great Ninja War, when he saw Mito quell the war, Danzo had already set his sights on Nine-Tails.
While Mito was still alive, he couldn't act, but he could act against the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The Wood Release research was primarily aimed at Nine-Tails.
However, he hadn't expected that Kushina would truly master Nine-Tails' power.
Why did all these talented individuals become people around Kazuki?
Why did they all follow Kazuki instead of him?
He was clearly the most suitable person to become Hokage. If he had controlled Nine-Tails' power back then, he might not have been unable to become Hokage.
Just by seeing Nine-Tails, Danzo had a bad premonition that Kazuki might have come to kill him.
Thinking of the towering Susanoo from back then, Danzo's heart couldn't help but sink.
Kazuki's strength had very likely surpassed Madara's back then, and this was not something he could contend with. Most importantly, he couldn't re-Edo Tensei the First and Second Hokage. Without these two, Danzo had no confidence in confronting Kazuki.
