Can we do without the Nine-Tails?
Suddenly Utatane Koharu, spoke up timidly.
These words stunned everyone.
Even Mito Uzumaki was no exception.
Not long ago, after going through great hardships to capture the Nine-Tails, Utatane Koharu faced the pursuing Kumogakure army.
Facing hundreds of ninjas, they never uttered a word of giving up.
But now this statement has emerged, undoubtedly overturning their understanding.
"Xiao, Koharu, are you joking? You should know very well how important the Nine-Tails is to Konoha Ninja Village right now," Mito Uzumaki said urgently.
Are you worried that I won't be able to control the Nine-Tails and will accidentally hurt myself?
"Don't worry, in my current state, controlling the Nine-Tails is indeed a bit of a strain, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. You can rest assured."
As she spoke, Mito Uzumaki looked around and subconsciously loosened the Adamantine Sealing within her body slightly.
She certainly made it sound so easy for her to talk about it.
However, the blood and qi within the body were already surging and churning violently.
The moment the tension eased, the raging Chakra unique to the Nine-Tails surged forth from within the body, causing an excruciating, piercing pain to pierce through the already damaged meridians.
A sweet taste rose in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
If it weren't for the need to put on a show, he probably would have already coughed up that mouthful of blood.
Feeling this massive, crimson Chakra, filled with various negative emotions, surge out of Mito Uzumaki's body, it eventually formed a thin layer of Tailed Beast Cloak on her skin.
The oppressive atmosphere emanating from it undoubtedly put many people on edge.
The Kumogakure is not without Tailed Beast; in fact, it possesses two: the Matatabi and the Eight-Tails Gyuki.
Therefore, they were very clear about the Tailed Beast ' personalities and how bloodthirsty and insane they were.
Among the Jinchūriki, it would take at least several years, or even more than a decade, to master the power of a Tailed Beast.
People like Mito Uzumaki, once they obtain the power of Tailed Beast and become Jinchūriki, can easily unleash the Tailed Beast Cloak.
It's still the Nine-Tails ' Tailed Beast Cloak.
This is enough to explain why the Uzumaki Clan of the Land of Whirlpools is regarded as a thorn in the side by the Shinobi World.
Such a terrifying sealing technique would be like adding wings to a tiger if it were used on any ninja village.
The tiger of Konoha Ninja Village was already far stronger than any other village.
Now, with the added kinship ties to the Land of Whirlpools, the resulting increase in strength is far more than just the sum of its parts.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the vast forest became somewhat oppressive, and everyone's gaze subconsciously turned towards Utatane Koharu.
After all, these members of the Kumogakure's Anbu had already confirmed with them repeatedly that they did not recognize this uninvited guest.
Therefore, the only person who can confirm the boy's identity is Utatane Koharu.
Feeling the gaze directed at her, Utatane Koharu pale instantly. Especially when she saw Bai Yu drinking by himself, and recalled the long-buried memories from two years ago, Utatane Koharu's legs went weak.
Especially when she thought of the last words that Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, said to Hashirama Senju, Utatane Koharu gritted her teeth and said, as if she had used up all her strength.
" Lady Mito, you should know very well why the Nine-Tails disappeared back then."
"He's the one who shattered the Nine-Tails!"
Mito Uzumaki's pupils suddenly contracted, and even the Kunai she was gripping tightly in her hand tensed up. A roar went through her mind, and everything went completely white.
What happened two years ago in the Valley of the End.
The version circulating outside the village is that Madara Uchiha betrayed Konoha Ninja Village, and the First Hokage personally led a team to hunt him down.
He ultimately fought Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End, not only killing Madara Uchiha with overwhelming superiority, but also having the Nine-Tails brutally destroyed.
When news of this battle broke, it immediately shocked the four great nations that had been eager to make their move after obtaining the Tailed Beast.
It can be said that this has also become a source of pride and honor for Konoha Ninja Village.
Anyone who mentions this event will give Hashirama Senju a thumbs up.
However, within Konoha Ninja Village, apart from those who witnessed the battle firsthand, only a handful of people knew that Hashirama Senju, whose personality was always straightforward, was always unwilling to hear about this fabricated reputation.
Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage Hashirama Senju, also knew the inside story.
The person who killed Madara Uchiha and shattered the Nine-Tails was someone else entirely.
To Mito Uzumaki's utter surprise, there was someone else there who would appear before her.
"Hmph, why isn't anyone lifting a finger? Are they planning to let me steal the credit?"
A cold snort came from afar.
Soon, a stern-faced ninja, accompanied by the seventh and eighth Anbu, leaped into the arena.
"Lord Toroi, you've finally arrived."
A squad leader from the Anbu, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, still broke away from the formation and quickly stepped forward to speak.
"Just now, Utatane Koharu said that this person is the one who scattered the Nine-Tails and allowed it to be reborn. She also said that Mito Uzumaki should hand over the Nine-Tails to him unconditionally. We are worried that this is a trap, so we plan to wait for the adults to arrive before making a decision."
"The one who shattered the Nine-Tails and allowed it to be reborn?"
Toroi, carrying a massive Fūma Shuriken on his back, glanced at Bai Yu and then snorted disdainfully.
"Hmph, trying to fool people with such a clumsy act? That's utterly ridiculous."
"I think you're all in cahoots. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, you put on this show, intending to use such a lame excuse to make our Kumogakure retreat voluntarily."
"Actually, this method is indeed very novel, but do you think I'm too stupid, so you'd believe it?"
At this point, Toroi had already unloaded the giant Mad Demon Shuriken he was carrying and was pacing around. The members of the Anbu who had been hesitant immediately abandoned their other thoughts and quickly surrounded him, seeing that Toroi had made his decision.
Feeling the murderous intent in his eyes, Bai Yu sighed helplessly.
"In fact, smart people are willing to give others a chance to speak."
"Given your current attitude, I doubt you'll believe anything I say."
"I never imagined that asking for directions would lead me down a path of murder."
"If I ask you one more time, and you just leave like this, would you be willing to listen to my suggestion?"
Upon hearing these words, Utatane Koharu and Mito Uzumaki were stunned for a moment, then instantly understood Bai Yu's intention.
He clearly did not want to get involved in the conflict between the two countries.
We must sever ties with Konoha Ninja Village.
However, these words only elicited a cold laugh from Toroi.
"Sorry, I only believe what the dead say. If you really are asking for directions, you can only blame your bad luck."
