Yui stared in shock at the fox head formed from dark red Nine-Tails chakra.
She instantly activated her Byakugan and looked at the seal on Mito's abdomen. "Is that the Nine-Tails? Is it breaking out of the seal?"
A crescent-shaped opening had split across the seal on Mito's abdomen, and massive streams of dark red Nine-Tails chakra were leaking out.

She recalled the Nine-Tails' words from moments ago, thick with murderous intent.

But a second later,
