Then there's a chance

"Grit your teeth, Nine-Tails!"

"Multi-Size Technique!"

Kazan's fist swelled to countless times its original size, wreathed in dark red lightning and coated in black Armament Haki, as it came crashing down like a mountain.

"Roar!"

The Nine-Tails instinctively sensed the threat and whipped his head around with a roar.

But his only answer was a mountain-sized iron fist, its dark red lightning fierce enough to tear the sky apart.

"Kushina is with Lady Tsunade..." Minato Namikaze sounded subdued.

Everyone knew what happened when a tailed beast was extracted from its jinchūriki.

There was no chance of survival. At least, there had never been one in recorded history.

In Shippuden, Gaara's life had come to an end the moment the One-Tail was extracted.

That was the relationship between jinchūriki and tailed beasts. Their chakra was all but bound to the jinchūriki's
