"So the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are joining the battle too?"
Yuto's expression grew somber.
When it came to Tailed Beasts, the Nine-Tails had left the deepest impression on him.
He would never forget the battle in which Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails and fought his father so fiercely that the heavens and earth seemed to darken.
After that, he had always strived to follow in his father's footsteps. His ninjutsu and fighting style had both grown to resemble his father's.
He hoped that one day he could treat a Tailed Beast like a little pet, just as his father had.
Now, before he had reached his father's level, he had to face two Tailed Beasts at once?
The thought immediately weighed heavily on Yuto.
Nara Rukawa, standing nearby, looked just as grave.
Without the Tailed Beasts, Konoha and Kumogakure had roughly equal forces on the battlefield.
But if the Tailed Beasts joined the fight, Kumogakure would effectively have two more Kage-level shinobi. How were they supposed to fight that?
As for the report from the village that Hyuga Hoshishaku had captured the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki by himself, they had all instinctively assumed that Hoshishaku was simply capable of it.
It had never occurred to them that the Nine-Tails was different from the other Tailed Beasts.
Everyone knew that the combined chakra of the One-Tails through the Eight-Tails was still less than the Nine-Tails' chakra.
By that logic, the One-Tails through the Eight-Tails together were weaker than the Nine-Tails.
Yuto's worries were entirely unnecessary.
After all, just before they set out, Hyuga Hoshishaku had checked his friend's status panel and felt completely confident that Yuto could suppress two Tailed Beasts on his own.
Because Senju Yuto's stats were already nearly as good as Hoshishaku's.
