Chapter 65 : Gyuki
A dark night settled over the secluded grove, where two figures stood alone beneath the moonlight—a man and a woman. None other than Kurama and Uchiha Mikoto.
Mikoto was surprised to see Kurama aligned with the Uchiha forces. " Kurama, I didn't expect you to be part of the Uchiha's battle plans. Does Kushina know about this?"
Kurama chuckled. "It doesn't matter. She's not concerned whether I'm here or not. Besides, you know very well how strong she is."
Mikoto nodded seriously. "That's true. But why are you here?"
Kurama's expression darkened slightly. "The Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki, Killer Bee, is stationed in the Cloud Shinobi camp. And he has full control over his Tailed Beast now."
Mikoto's face turned solemn. "So, in addition to the Third Raikage's son, we're also up against a perfect Jinchūriki?"
The son of the Third Raikage was already a formidable opponent, but adding an Eight-Tails wielder into the mix was an entirely different challenge. Mikoto wasn't too worried for herself—her concern lay with whether her clan could handle it.
Kurama smirked. "Don't worry. Leave the Eight-Tails to me."
Tonight, the Uchiha Clan was fully prepared. Every shinobi was alert, their senses sharper than during the day. Kurama could already feel the bloodlust emanating from the approaching Cloud Shinobi forces.
He had instructed Mikoto to make specific preparations at a strategic location, anticipating an attack. As expected, a Konoha ninja rushed over.
"Mikoto-sama, are you certain Cloud Shinobi will attack tonight? If they don't come or approach from a different angle, our deployment could be wasted."
