It really was him, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki

Tailed Beasts were regarded by most of the Shinobi World as terrifying beings. Other than experts with Kage-level strength, any ninja who faced a Tailed Beast was bound to lose.

Even the weakest Tailed Beast possessed enough power to sweep through dozens of jonin, let alone beings like the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, which ranked near the top among the Tailed Beasts.

Konoha's Fourth Hokage—the man known throughout the Shinobi World as the Yellow Flash, who had once suppressed the combined efforts of him and his big brother all by himself—hadn't someone of that caliber still died during the Nine-Tails rampage?
