Orochimaru stared in amazement at Kinkaku and Ginkaku's Lesser Nine-Tails Mode.
Even though he knew Kinkaku and Ginkaku could contain Nine-Tails Chakra, he still found it astounding.
Among the prodigies of the Ninja Sect, the highest Tailed Beast Cloak Mode that Ninja other than Jinchuriki could develop was four tails.
Even then, the Tailed Beast Chakra had been guided by the Tailed Beast's will, and the Tailed Beast's will was relatively benevolent toward Ninja.
Yet Kinkaku and Ginkaku had managed to develop their Tailed Beast Cloak Mode to six tails.
What did a six-tailed Tailed Beast Cloak represent?
According to the Ninja Sect's estimates, four tails were equivalent to the strength of a Kage, while six tails surpassed a Kage.
That was also why Kinkaku and Ginkaku had been able to perish together with Tobirama.
If they continued developing it—breaking through six tails, seven tails... perhaps even reaching nine Demon Fox tails on par with the Nine-Tails—
wouldn't that mean creating a new Nine-Tails?
"Could this be because they are descendants of the Six Paths Sage? Perhaps their bloodline is the closest in existence to the Six Paths Sage's."
Orochimaru wanted to capture Kinkaku and Ginkaku and study them properly.
Orochimaru said to Killer B, "Killer B, summon the Eight-Tails!"
Kinkaku and Ginkaku's Lesser Nine-Tails Mode was a form that surpassed a Kage.
All of them possessed Kage-level strength, so they could still handle the two together.
But there was no need to waste too much Chakra on Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
They should borrow the power of the Tailed Beasts when they needed it.
Killer B bit his finger until it bled, then summoned the Eight-Tails.
The Eight-Tails appeared in the scorching desert.
It angrily cursed at Killer B. "B, you bastard, don't summon me into such a terrible environment."
