"Sorry, I don't pack with scumbags," I said while standing where I was with a smirk. I was in war with all of them, there was no point for me to back down at this moment.

"Well, thankfully I have other means to learn the Tailed Beast location from you, even if you are not willing to spill them out," said Tobirama while standing up slowly.

"What made you think that you can beat me?" I asked with a smile. He was overconfident, even the Madara with unlimited Chakra Reserve couldn't beat me, what made him think that he was able to win against me? To live at the top of the food chain for too long made Tobirama overly arrogant.

"You will see, in a few seconds," he said while cleaning the dirt from his back in a nonchalant manner.

"I hope you seal the space for prevent me to flash away, so I can kill you all here," I said and dashed toward the Tobirama. If they expect me to come after them here, they might seal the space to prevent me to flash away, would only help me to kill them all here.

Tobirama summoned dozen of animal and went invisible with one of them. The giant chameleon had a Rinnegan in its left socket. It had four limbs, each ending in four large claws. Its tail was a large snake. Its body was covered in scales and it had bandages wrapped around the center of its back. It had two wings on its upper back which are porous and badly ripped. It had two oddly shaped horns coming from the back of its head. The right horn is snapped off and wrapped in bandages while its left horn has four black receivers stuck through it.

"It is same as in the Original Series. That bird's eggs can explode so be careful. That dog can split apart if you cut him to pieces, the best you can do is seal it, or punch it to death. The panda has a hard defense, but nothing you can't beat. Ox and Rhino are strong but not any other special abilities, Crustacean can use bubble technique, and Centipede has no special power." Crow summarized their abilities to me in one breath.

'Thanks.' I thanked Crow and activated my En. Even though they were invisible, they were still in the area, and I could find them with my En. Even with the Observation Haki alone would tell me where they were, but when I use it with En it was less taxing and had better range. I looked at the Naruto and started to plan my next moves. As I took out several kunai which I can flash to, and send them over the battlefield. As I was about to flash, I realized Tobirama was sealing the surrounding to prevent me from running away. I smiled and let him be, and attacked to the nearest animal, which it happened to be Panda. He was destroyed with a mere punch of mine.

I flashed a few times more and send all the animals away, and left all there dumbfounded, even Tobirama stopped the sealing and was thinking that maybe he shouldn't do it. I flashed to the Naruto's side and knocked him unconsciousness before he could muster his strength and flashed away with him. I tied him to space where I took away the Four-Tailed Beast, and sealed the space, and returned to the where I left Tobirama and Orochijosei, but they were long gone.

Probably after I show my might with the summoned animals, Tobirama understood my prowess and intimidated. Even though he had Rinnegan, I could fight against him evenly with just my Ninja means.

After I looked around to see if there were anything amiss, I focused on the location where Nine-Tailed Beast was sealed. There were still lots of wild beasts inside the dark mist, and probably they were under genjutsu created by Tobirama to clear his way when he first arrived. They started to surround me but never dared to attack.

Even after all these strong beasts, there was another trial to take for acquiring Nine-Tailed Beast. What in front of me standing was a little wall with the text above. "Touch me." It had a strong feeling, yet weird text made me laugh. After I laughed for a while I touched the stone, and what appeared front of me was another world.

There was a man standing in this endless world. Crow immediately realized the man and told me that he was the Sage of the Six Paths. His eyes were closed, except the weird red dot on his forehead looks like an eye, but I could feel strong chakra surround me as if he tries to slip into my body. I blocked the chakra, and the man opened his eyes. With the Rinnegan he looked at all over my body, after a while, he spoke. "Come, my child."

I wanted to refute and say, "I am not your child." but he was the creator of Ninjutsu, and I was a Ninja, so in a way, I was his child. I approached and stood in front of him. Saluted him with the name of The Sage of the Six Paths. He asked me, "Why is it that you want to take Kurama?" he asked.

'Who is Kurama?' I didn't know anyone with the name of Kurama, I was here to take Nine-Tailed Beast away.

"It is the Nine-Tailed Beast's name," said Crow.

Still, I can't possibly know the name of the Nine-Tailed Beast, so the Sage of the Six Paths was testing me, but why? Is he want to see if I tamed other beasts?

"Who is Kurama?" I asked the man in front of me.

He trained his eyes on my face to see if I was really ignorant to the matter or not, and after a while, he answered, "Right, you know it as Nine-Tailed Beast." said slowly, I could feel sadness from his words.

"There is an organization, collecting all tailed beasts to create the Ten-Tailed Beast. To stop them, I found seven of the nine and hid them. Kurama is the last, and the organization took the Two-Tailed Beast before I could reach. But there is someone stronger behind the organization, and they are up to no good." I said honestly.

The Sage of the Six Paths' eyes widened as he brought his hand to his chin and thought for a while. "I can feel neither Indra's nor Asura's bloodline inside of you. You shouldn't be meant to intervene with her. Interesting!" he mumbled. After a while, he continued, "Very well, you have my permission to take Kurama, and I will give you a gift." he said and touched my forehead. An immense pain started to drill my skull as if something was coming out.

After feeling like an eternity, my vision expanded, I could see the world from a different perspective. As if- As if I had a different eye!
