Before the man arrived, his voice did.
Only then did Uchiha Yato slowly step out of the Anywhere Door and appear before everyone.
Upon seeing him, the leader of the sealing squad, wanting to show his respect, prepared to bow to Uchiha Yato.
Uchiha Yato directly stopped his flashy formalities.
"Enough, enough. Don't bother with all that. Let's get down to business. The most important thing is to get back to Konoha early and rest."
As he spoke, Uchiha Yato looked toward Hiruzen Sarutobi, intending to ask a few more questions.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was no fool and knew that some things were better kept from others.
He said to the leader of the sealing squad,
"Now that the Fourth Hokage is here, hurry and inspect the Seven-Tails' seal once more."
"Be careful. Don't make any mistakes and let the Seven-Tails escape its seal."
After hearing this, the leader of the sealing squad deliberately glanced at Uchiha Yato's expression.
Uchiha Yato said nothing, merely nodding.
The leader immediately left and headed toward the seal to check on the Seven-Tails' condition.
"So, old man, what do you make of this?"
Hearing Uchiha Yato's question, Hiruzen Sarutobi intended to think it over a little longer.
After all, he still cared about his dignity. Letting someone exploit a loophole this time had already cost him some face.
"This should be a warning from that Shinobi Village Alliance."
"Although they sent a tailed beast onto the battlefield, it wasn't one from their own village. They 'borrowed' it from another shinobi village."
"They'll probably use this tailed beast as a bargaining chip—or a point of breakthrough—later on."
Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi's analysis of the situation was fairly rigorous, Uchiha Yato did not add much else.
In the past, Uchiha Yato would definitely have teased Hiruzen Sarutobi
