"How could this be?!"
The Raikage gaped in shock as he watched Matatabi flee in disgrace.
He had thought Matatabi would become a powerful ally. Instead, she ran faster than anyone, with no intention of taking revenge at all. That so-called revenge just now had probably been nothing more than a parting threat to make herself look less pathetic.
Just like... when he had threatened the Fourth Hokage back then.
The truth was, he would have died without Killer B...
Matatabi felt incomparably fortunate.
It was only the Mangekyō Sharingan. She had long found a way to deal with it: the moment she saw the Mangekyō Sharingan, she would immediately run away.
The Mangekyō Sharingan could do nothing to her!
"Hehehe, so what if it's the Mangekyō Sharingan? Do you think he's that monster who can use Wood Release?"
At the thought of Wood Release, Matatabi could not help but shudder.
That guy had been far too terrifying.
Just thinking about him filled her with fear from the depths of her heart!
At that moment, she thought she might be hearing things. A voice from her nightmares rang out beside her ears.
"Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!"
Cold and majestic, like the voice of a god!
Ordinary Wood Release: Gate of the Great God was enough to seal ordinary shinobi, but sealing Tailed Beasts required Sage Art: Gate of the Great God.
"Huh? Am I hearing things?"
Matatabi thought she was simply too frightened. Hashirama Senju had been too brutal back then. He said they were too dangerous, then promptly sealed all of them Tailed Beasts away. It was utterly outrageous.
By comparison...
Hashirama Senju was the real monster!
Within that Wood Release, she sensed the power of the Ten-Tails, a power that terrified every Tailed Beast!
But
