The Sand Ninja had Shukaku, and their Jinchuriki was an old monk named Bunpuku. Mirai would find out where he was going!" Granny said seriously.
In all of Konoha, Granny understood the power of a Jinchuriki better than anyone! Her grandmother had been the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki. What was that? She knew better than anyone how terrifying the power of a Jinchuriki was! Even if the opponent only wielded a Jinchuriki's power, their combat strength was formidable—possibly at the Kage level!
"Bunpuku?!" Mirai did indeed have some impression of the old monk. In Shukaku's memories, Bunpuku was one of the few Jinchuriki Shukaku had acknowledged. He wondered whether he could make use of Shukaku's power!
"Yes! Be careful!" Looking at the three of them, Granny honestly still did not want to take Mirai on missions. He was still young, and the kid was far too conspicuous! The slogan "Mirai Must Die" had somehow spread from the Sand Ninja camp during the war.

"He went out on a mission with Granny! It's absolutely true! Someone intends to use this information to kill Mirai. The ninja monitoring the Konoha camp reported that the boy really did leave the camp!" Ebizo said solemnly.
"Is there such a person?!" Chiyo's face showed realization. "Dan Katō, then!"
