Jinchuriki Placement Issues

Across the snowy plains, trails of black smoke drifted away with the falling snow.

The Land of Iron had probably suffered the worst today.

They had merely provided a venue for the Five Great Nations to discuss national affairs, resolve international disputes, and seek prosperity for humanity.

For the sake of appearances, Mifune had even brought out the Land of Iron's safest, sturdiest fortress.

But who could have expected a terrorist attack that happened only once every forty years, turning the fortress into ruins?
