Kurama's mind raced as it started to piece things together.
It had sensed a familiar tailed beast chakra from Takuya before—similar to its own, with an oddly pleasant scent. Now, Takuya had a small white fox by his side, with nine tails, looking strikingly similar to Kurama itself.
Well, that solves the mystery.

Thanks to Snowy's warning, Takuya knew that the ANBU were around, helping to clear the area.
Otherwise, with Tsunade’s loud voice, ranting like this about the village’s leadership would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

Minato and Nawaki nodded, determination etched on their faces. They had already uncovered so much—what harm was there in learning a little more? How Takuya knew all these secrets wasn’t the issue anymore. What mattered was understanding just how deep the darkness ran in Konoha’s leadership.
