Tobirama suspected that the Uchiha had gone mad. To portray Liao Wu as a man-eating demon, they had personally massacred the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Birds.
So Tobirama had the Anbu secretly investigate the Land of Birds.
Tobirama recalled, "Was it the demon released from the Box of Paradise in the Grass Village?"
The Anbu nodded. "Yes, it was. Those deceased people did not have their souls devoured—all their emotions were devoured instead."
"Emotions are also a kind of power. It was equivalent to Satoru draining their life force."
"Moreover, our Anbu investigation found that people in the Land of Takigakure claimed to have seen Satoru fly from the direction of the sea toward the mainland."
Tobirama folded his arms, his fingers tapping rhythmically. "I remember Hozuki Castle being in the northern sea, on the side of the Land of Takigakure."
"When did this happen?"
"About two months ago!"
Tobirama analyzed the situation. "That was just after the Fourth Shinobi World War ended. Madara was defeated, Liao Wu was sealed by Big Brother with Sealing, and then fled in defeat."
"It seems Satoru fled Hozuki Castle after seeing Liao Wu lose power."
The Anbu asked Tobirama, "Second Hokage, should we take action against Satoru?"
"Of course. Notify the Stone Village and have Ōnoki lead people against Satoru."
"Yes!"
"Oh, and remind them that Satoru cannot be killed. He can only be sealed with Sealing."

What did surprise Tobirama was that an existence like the Nine-Tails had actually set aside the pride of a Tailed Beast to learn Ninjutsu.
That
