"Kurama, are we sure we aren't marching to our deaths?" Naruto swallowed as he looked at the enormous Ten-Tails.
"Naruto, he's all show. He's nothing more than a remnant spiritual body contained in a severed hand. He's nothing to worry about."
The Nine-Tails' confident voice rang out in Naruto's mind.
"Besides, we have help!"
As the Nine-Tails finished speaking, the dark world suddenly shook, and cracks spread across the sky like a shattered mirror.
Faint, milky-white light shone into the world through the cracks. Then incredibly dense senjutsu chakra flowed through them into this mental world.
The moment the senjutsu chakra entered the Mindscape, it turned into faint white light that enveloped the Ten-Tails' spiritual body.
As the white light shone on the Ten-Tails' spiritual body, he let out an agonized scream.
Seeing this, the Nine-Tails said smugly, "Naruto, we might not even need to lift a finger!"
Under the white light, the enormous spiritual body of the Ten-Tails visibly faded into nothingness, bit by bit.
At the sight, the Nine-Tails could not help saying, "That Old Toad really is impressive. No wonder he's the Sage of Six Paths' brother, and the sage who guided him!"
"Amazing!" Naruto stared, dumbstruck.
"He certainly is!" The Nine-Tails nodded in agreement. "The power on the front of the Sage Talisman can bring the dead back to life, while the power on its reverse can annihilate a soul. That Old Toad truly deserves to be called a Great Sage who has lived for thousands of years!"
After marveling for a moment, the Nine-Tails quickly collected himself. He was, after all, a fox who had weathered plenty of storms.
The first thing he did was stretch his chakra arms toward the sky, then slowly reach into the cracks blasted open by the senjutsu chakra.
