"Uh, Lord Aoba, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki is in bad shape. If the Tailed Beast Chakra inside him weren't repairing his body, he could die at any moment."
The Sealing Team member had put it delicately, but Kawaki Aoba understood. The Five-Tails Jinchuriki might drop dead at any time. So what?
For anyone else, it might have been an impossible problem. For him, it was nothing.

After a Medical Ninja examined Han, he looked surprised but nodded to Kawaki Aoba, indicating that Han would survive even if they extracted his Tailed Beast Chakra now.
