"Then I could only choose Plan B."
Kitahara Kaede muttered to himself.
However, before using Plan B—
Kitahara Kaede went looking for the Ten-Tails.
Otherwise, if the Ten-Tails had some way out—
and he ran off recklessly, wouldn't he ruin its plans?
As a result, after Kitahara Kaede checked in with the Ten-Tails—
what awaited him was a lengthy speech from the Ten-Tails.
It was about the mist.
Of course, Kitahara Kaede summed it up in just a few words.
That was—

So, it had no solution either.

Because five minutes after Kitahara Kaede started running—
the Ten-Tails had begun wailing miserably.
At first, Kitahara Kaede did not feel too burdened by it.
But as time passed—
he came to realize something.
