Jinchūriki had always been regarded as the ultimate strategic weapons of the major ninja villages.
Countless ninja who encountered enemy Jinchūriki on the battlefield could only steer clear of them.
Back during the Third Shinobi World War.
The team led by Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya had encountered the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Roshi and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han on the Iwagakure front.
Faced with the two Jinchūriki joining forces.
Even the young Yellow Flash and the Toad Sage in his prime could only choose to back down.

But now?
Uchiha Minamoto had not only defeated the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, but captured her alive on the spot!
Those were two entirely different things.
A ninja defeating a Jinchūriki might be due to an advantageous matchup, or perhaps some other reason.

But they knew Minato Namikaze had died sealing the Nine-Tails...
"Such an achievement is truly unprecedented."
Inoichi Yamanaka could not help remarking.
"Captain, after this battle, your name will surely
