"Is that so? You actually set your sights on the Two-Tails... But Tailed Beasts can only be controlled by the village, not by an organization within it. You understand that, don't you?" Minato pondered.
"I know, but I really need the Two-Tails," Genitsu said.

In truth, Minato had his own considerations.
