Staring fixedly at Hyuga Kagami, who had entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, the Nine-Tails' pupils suddenly contracted. An uncontrollable shock appeared on its face. "Y-you're Yama of the God Organization?"
Because it could leak chakra through the seal, the Nine-Tails could use Naruto's senses to receive outside information.
That was why it was no stranger to mysterious organizations like Akatsuki and the God Organization, which had been stirring up trouble throughout the shinobi world. Comparing what it had heard with the clues before it, it recognized Hyuga Kagami through the highly distinctive Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Truth-Seeking Orbs.
After all, other things could be faked, but those Truth-Seeking Orbs that filled it with immense dread could not. Those were Truth-Seeking Orbs that only the Sage of Six Paths and Ōtsutsuki Asura, who had inherited Ninshū, could condense!
Toying with a Truth-Seeking Orb in his hand, Hyuga Kagami said, "Now we can have a proper talk, right?"
The Nine-Tails looked wary. "Who exactly are you?"
Hyuga Kagami replied calmly, "Don't you already know? I'm Konoha's Fifth Hokage, the leader of the God Organization, Yama, and Naruto's teacher."
The Nine-Tails still could not believe it. "H-how is that possible? How can a mere Hyuga clansman possess such power?"
Over its nearly thousand-year-long life, the Nine-Tails had fought many powerful shinobi, but the only ones who had truly threatened it were the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths: the Uchiha Clan, the Senju Clan, and the Uzumaki Clan.
As for the other shinobi clans, even the Hyuga Clan, descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura, had never earned its regard.
The shinobi world was, after all, a world where strength reigned supreme. Though proficient in taijutsu, the Hyuga Clan was not skilled at dealing with massive monsters, so naturally they could not earn the Nine-Tails' respect.
