"Roar—!"
The roar of a colossal beast carried from afar, sweeping across this pitted open ground shrouded in hazy radiance and thin dust, echoing through the air.
This was...
The Nine-Tails!
The Nine-Tails...?
Feeling the aching numbness in his right hand from the tremendous force of the rebound, Uchiha Nobuhiko's eyes widened slightly. Through the vision of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he saw the vague, gigantic silhouette in the direction of Konoha.
Though it was far away, he could clearly make out the nine tails waving behind that massive figure.
And the cold, ominous Chakra permeating the air was undoubtedly that of the Nine-Tails.
As a Reincarnator who had been reborn an unknown number of times and had perfectly inherited the memories of every life, he had seen the Nine-Tails many times. He had even witnessed Hashirama Senju capture it.
There was no way he could mistake it.
So that meant the Jinchuriki's seal had been undone. Uchiha Obito had released the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's seal before the key failed, while fighting Minato Namikaze?
Of course!
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had already run out of Chakra. She could not draw Chakra from the Nine-Tails through the seal either, so she was basically as weak and powerless as she had been just after giving birth.
Perhaps even easier to deal with than she had been then.
The key was already in the lock; all it took was an effortless twist to undo the seal! Tch! This is bad! With Taki Chiba still here, the duck that's already cooked might just fly away! In that instant, Uchiha Nobuhiko's expression darkened.
Though he and Uchiha Obito were allies, they were not on the same path.
Both of them wanted the Nine-Tails for themselves! And to Uchiha Nobuhiko, Uchiha Obito was far inferior to him. Even
