To avoid any nasty surprises, it was best to kill him first.
Meanwhile,
Kurama had taken control of Naruto Uzumaki's body and was running toward the village without looking back.
He could clearly sense how powerful the mysterious man was.
Extremely dangerous!
He hadn't felt anything like this even when facing Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back then.
The only person who could compare to this man was probably the Sage of Six Paths.
Unfortunately,

What had happened here?
A short while earlier.
While Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others
