What happens to the Jinchūriki after their tailed beast is extracted? There's no need to explain that.
Is Haori a bloodthirsty person? To be honest, he's never thought so. For ninjas, killing is a job. Is killing an interesting thing? Or is it something like "I'm bored. I'm going to go out and kill someone for fun"? He's never thought that way.
But for him, if Kushina could die, who else couldn't die?
The perfect Jinchūriki fell. The Eight-Tails went berserk in Kumogakure.
Haori didn't know that Orochimaru had already done something similar once.
As a very dedicated research scientist, his goal was simply to obtain a sample of the Eight-Tails… It was because of this reason that Orochimaru caused the previous generation of the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki to go berserk and lose control. But he did it very secretly. No one knows about it to this day.
What Haori is doing is simply repeating what Orochimaru did.
He wasn't really here to fight. After all, with his current state, if he fought head-on, Haori wouldn't be able to kill anyone. So, he relied on his calculations and his mind.
As for the means of releasing the tailed beast, he also used things that Kushina had taught him long ago.
Using the Five Elements Release to break the seal on the controlled Eight-Tails Jinchūriki might not be a difficult thing. The difficult part is mastering the Five Elements Release itself.
In reality, the only people in Konoha who can use this jutsu are Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Haori. Maybe the Third Hokage too. Even Minato and Kushina themselves couldn't use it.
But it's even harder than mastering this jutsu to render the Jinchūriki unable to resist. Only Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains can do that.
Is it really that simple to trap the Fourth Raikage in a barrier? The answer is very difficult. You need eyesight, judgment, timing, and decisiveness. You can't be missing any of those.
Fortunately, with his greatly reduced combat strength, Haori's focus… is unparalleled.
Even the strongest ninjas have weaknesses that can be exploited. As long as you have this intel and find a way to deal with it, solving the problem isn't difficult.
The Raikage, to put it simply, has a more impulsive personality. He likes to confront everything head-on. Haori had already confirmed this last time.
Maybe when he can freely control his new eyes, these things will be much simpler. But he can't do that now… Don't even talk about using this BUG on a deeper level. Right now, he can't even activate his eyes immediately.
Let's say he could really activate his eyes. The trouble still exists. The Death God's Eye requires a very vague, ambiguous, and elusive "understanding" when using it. Theoretically, it can indeed erase everything. But the requirements for the user are ridiculously high.
Haori's computational ability is full of rationality and logic. But when using the Death God's Eye, this logic often doesn't work.
When erasing a simple objective existence, like a rock or a creature, calculation can indeed help the eye unleash its power. But in another sense, especially when dealing with things that are more conceptual, this computational ability not only doesn't play a positive role, but it can even cause some interference.
After all, many concepts are almost like fantasies. They have too many irrational and illogical connotations. Only "understanding" can kill.
So, looking at the Eight-Tails in front of him, Haori's work was basically done. He would kill the tailed beast someday, but not now.
"The Eight-Tails has been released!!"
"Berserk!"
"Yūkimaru-sama, stay back. This guy can break the Jinchūriki's seal!"
From this moment on, the enemy of Kumogakure wasn't Haori anymore. It was the Eight-Tails, Gyūki.
And after the Eight-Tails was released, Kumogakure instantly reacted. Their next target would probably be the Two-Tails. This ability to break the Iron Armor Seal made them fearful.
Actually, the Kumogakure ninjas were overthinking. Haori didn't have the power to repeat what he had just done. Release the Two-Tails? Impossible.
The Five-Layered Roshomon is one of the ultimate defensive techniques of the First Hokage. Using five layers at once is fundamentally different from using them one layer at a time in terms of chakra consumption. Plus, that super-strong sealing barrier had already consumed most of Haori's chakra.
Even Orochimaru, who can use this jutsu, usually only uses the Three-Layered Roshomon.
After releasing the Eight-Tails, Haori jumped back onto the Yata Crow. As for the remaining summoning beasts, he released them all.
With the Eight-Tails, the summoning beasts' destructive power was insignificant.
Five minutes, enough for the Eight-Tails to cause a lot of destruction.
Half an hour, and it would inflict irreparable damage on Kumogakure.
After hovering in the air for an hour, Haori could safely leave… The mission had been completed perfectly.
And after all, he was in the enemy's lair. With the Raikage's destructive power inside the sealing barrier, plus the efforts of the Kumogakure ninjas outside the barrier, his sealing was reaching its limit.
No matter how long he stayed alive, the barrier that Haori set up wasn't the Four Red Yang Formation or the Six Red Yang Formation.
In reality, Haori was holding on. He didn't even have the ability to escape safely, even if he flew back.
So, after one Kumogakure ninja after another died, and he was satisfied with the results of the Eight-Tails' rampage, he could only use reverse summoning to return to Shikkotsu Forest.
From beginning to end, Haori didn't say a word in Kumogakure…
Although he did like to talk a lot sometimes, this time, he really wasn't here to chat.
...
Mount Myōboku, Ryuchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest. Toads, snakes, slugs. The former are the three great hidden places. The latter are the most recognizable characteristics of the Sannin. They're much more recognizable than their appearance or their personalities, which are known for gambling, sex, and drugs.
The three great hidden places are hidden in uncertain spaces by powerful sealing barriers. They do exist in the actual physical space of this world. They have clear location coordinates. But unless you use reverse summoning, it's basically impossible to reach these places from the outside.
When Haori was in Shikkotsu Forest, if Tsunade was in Konoha, he could easily return. He just needed to summon once.
But unfortunately, Tsunade wasn't there now. And this summoning could only be used by him and Tsunade. So, he could only walk out of Shikkotsu Forest and return to Konoha.
Before that, he needed to rest and recover. So, it would take some time for him to return to Konoha.
So, the intel spread faster than Haori's return.
And this time, the Konoha Jōnin, the White Fang, finally entered the full view of all the Konoha people.
After the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sacrificed himself, and Uzumaki Kushina disappeared, "reputation" became something that Haori needed.
The Konoha Sannin were famous, but the one who really helped Konoha break the balance of the war and pierce the enemy's heart in the Third Great Ninja War was the Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze.
And now, without the Yellow Flash, Konoha had the White Fang.
In that sense, the fact that talented ninjas emerge one after another is what makes Konoha truly terrifying.
An old hero dies. The void left behind is instantly filled by a new hero. This kind of psychological compensation, this restoration of overall morale, is much more meaningful than the actual combat power that Haori has shown.
The intel was simple:
The White Fang invaded Kumogakure alone. The Fourth Raikage was trapped. The perfect Jinchūriki died. The Eight-Tails, Gyūki, went completely berserk.
Konoha Jōnin, sixteen years old, his name shook the ninja world.
