Unlike Konoha, Iwagakure did not have the Senju's [Wood Release], the Uchiha's [Sharingan], or the Uzumaki's [Sealing Jutsu].
Back at the First Five Kage Summit, the villages that had purchased the seven Tailed Beasts from Konoha had essentially piled up lives to find suitable Jinchūriki!
Before Han and Roshi, no one knew how many Ninja Iwagakure had sacrificed to seal the Four-Tails and Five-Tails.
But now, Uchiha Minamoto and Five-Tails Kokuō were both saying...
Those people could actually have avoided dying in the first place?
"Kokuō! Why didn't you-"
"No reason."
Five-Tails Kokuō's originally gentle voice grew considerably colder.
"Why should I help a bunch of enemies?
"Even sacrificing my own chakra to save their lives?"
Han immediately fell silent.
Watching from the side, Uchiha Minamoto shook his head as well.
The Ninja villages and Tailed Beasts-what a tangled mess of debts!
There was no sorting it out!
Just look at Naruto Uzumaki. Hadn't he also never settled the full account with Kurama?
In the end, it came back to that same statement-
The world of Ninja was simply too cruel!
"Kokuō."

"I'll unseal you from Han's body, then take you back to Konoha."
Perhaps Han's words had stirred Five-Tails Kokuō's hostility toward Ninja.
Kokuō's attitude toward Uchiha Minamoto had now grown cold as well.
"Take me back to Konoha, then find me a new Jinchūriki?"
"No... never mind."
Uchiha Minamoto had intended to explain a little, but then reconsidered. Why go to all that trouble?
"I'll just let you see Konoha's current situation 'with your own eyes'!"
[Limited Tsukuyomi]!
Uchiha Minamoto's [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan] rotated slightly, dragging Five-Tails Kokuō's consciousness straight into the genjutsu world.
Only a single second passed within the sealing space.
Five-Tails Kokuō's consciousness emerged
