This time, they had prepared for the Nine-Tails as thoroughly as they could. A security perimeter had been set up all around, with Konoha in the distance. At this range, the village would be safe from the Nine-Tails' attacks while still able to provide full support to the battlefield.
More than half of Konoha's strongest fighters were here.
Tsunade, Uchiha Yin, Kushina, and Uchiha Mikoto.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who had returned from Amegakure; two members of Konoha's elder council, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura; and several Quasi-Kage fighters from the Ninja clans.
With a force like this working together, the Nine-Tails would have a hard time causing much trouble.
It would be a mistake to assume Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were weak just because they were little more than parasites in the original story.
After all, Koharu and Homura had been teammates of Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi. They were now middle-aged and at the peak of their strength. Each was at least Quasi-Kage Level.

The devastating power of a Tailed Beast was deeply etched in everyone's mind. One mistake could mean heavy losses for the Sealing Squad and the Barrier Team.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi's worries were probably unnecessary. Uchiha Yin's strength had likely surpassed everyone's expectations.

The Nine-Tails might be called the strongest Tailed Beast, but Hashirama Senju had beaten it into submission along with the others. Madara Uchiha had then controlled it like a toy, turning the Nine-Tails into little more than a pet dog.
Knowing all that, Uchiha Yin simply could not bring himself to fear the Nine-Tails.
Tailed Beasts were weapons
