Once he realized the disturbance came from the Tailed Beasts, Ron's first reaction was relief. He had thought Imu might have left something inside his body.
Then Ron felt a little ashamed. Kurama had clearly asked him to find a way to let them out for some air, but he had assumed it was a dream and had completely dismissed it after waking up.

Could it be... something had happened?
And during those few seconds they spent pondering this...
Ron suddenly raised his hand toward them and shouted,
