"Hey, Zetsu, you've already found out where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is, right?" Uchiha An asked the White Zetsu beside him as they ran at full speed.
"Of course." White Zetsu swam swiftly through the earth, leading the way. "Konoha had originally planned to send all the students from the Ninja Academy to shelters."
"But the Jinchuriki named Uzumaki Naruto refused to hide with his classmates. He insisted on going to save the village."
"Oh, right. I forgot to tell you—the little guy somehow learned to use the Nine-Tails' power. He's only got four tails for now, though."
"Huh?" Uchiha An immediately felt annoyed.
Of course. He was the Protagonist!
He could power up as easily as eating or drinking!
White Zetsu still hadn't realized how serious this was, and continued chattering away beside him.
"I think it's because Minato appeared earlier, loosening the Four Symbols Seal. That must be why Naruto can control some of the Tailed Beast's power."
"But it's no big deal."
"It's only four tails. His Chakra is limited. Besides, he's still young and probably just learned the Three-Body Technique. He likely doesn't know any other Ninjutsu."
"You can take care of him easily."
"Hmph!" Uchiha An snorted and shot back, "What the hell do you know?"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that he only has four tails right now. If he really needs to, he can turn into the Nine-Tails at any moment!"
"As for Ninjutsu, he can just go into Tailed Beast form and make a few hundred clones to punch people. What does he need Ninjutsu for?"
"Only his dad has shown up so far. His ancestor hasn't appeared yet!"
"Just wait until his ancestor shows up. Then things will get interesting!"
"His ancestor?" White Zetsu paused, but quickly turned his attention elsewhere.
