"Nine-Tails Chakra was sealed inside Void!"
Chiriku hesitated for a moment, but still told them the truth.
"What? Nine-Tails Chakra?!"
This unexpected information startled Kakashi Hatake.
In an instant, he also understood what had happened, and why the Akatsuki had attacked the Fire Temple.
So, unable to seize Naruto, Obito had chosen to attack the Fire Temple to take the Apprentice Ninja Monk who possessed Nine-Tails Chakra!
He understood.
Now everything was clear!
But an even greater question began to surface. Why would Nine-Tails Chakra be inside an Apprentice Ninja Monk from the Fire Temple?
Kakashi frowned out of habit and glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, who was quietly saying something to Sakura not far away, feeling puzzled.
For Obito to have set his sights on him, the amount of Nine-Tails Chakra sealed inside the Ninja Monk named Void had to be considerable.
That being the case, a problem arose.
How had this Nine-Tails Chakra been sealed inside Void? And had the Fire Temple done all this, or was someone pulling strings in secret?
Also, with Konoha keeping such a close watch on Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, how had someone stolen Nine-Tails Chakra and sealed it away?!
Sensing that many secrets lay hidden in this matter, Kakashi felt deeply troubled. At this point, the question of how the Akatsuki had obtained this information was instead pushed to the back of his mind.
"Abbot Chiriku, you must come with us to Konoha and meet with Lord Hokage."
Kakashi's tone was rather discourteous, but Chiriku understood. Anyone who learned that such a great hidden danger existed within the Fire Temple, one that even seemed vaguely directed against Konoha, would not be polite if they were a Konoha Ninja.
"I understand."
Chiriku had never intended to run away anyway. Going to Konoha to explain
