Chapter 270
Especially Senju Hashirama—how many times had he shown off in front of Kurama like that?
Frustrating!
It was truly frustrating!
In that moment, Kurama's gaze toward the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, changed. Embarrassment mixed with anger shimmered in his eyes. Now he finally understood why Yuta hadn't lifted a finger against him.
Just those two infamous scenes alone had socially annihilated the once-feared Nine-Tails across the entire ninja world.
From this day forward, anyone who laid eyes on Kurama might immediately think of Senju Hashirama's legendary quote: "Can the Nine-Tails even hurt people?"
Kurama was so humiliated, he wanted to cry. The cruelty of the ninja world cut deep. Schemes ran too deep. He longed to return to his Jinchūriki—Uzumaki Naruto's body.
This Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta… was a demon in human skin!
"Hahaha! The Nine-Tails really bullies the weak and fears the strong."
"Unbelievable. Even the mighty Kurama had moments like that!"
"Seeing him get manhandled like a housecat by Senju Hashirama… priceless."
"The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, is truly a god-tier manipulator. He finds scenes like these and weaponizes them with perfect timing."
In Konoha Village, after the shock faded, waves of laughter and astonishment spread. People couldn't stop replaying the mental image of Kurama helpless in Hashirama's grip.
"Kurama's reputation is ruined!"
"To think our Nine-Tailed Beast had such an embarrassing side!"
"Honestly, joining the Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta—early was the smartest thing we ever did."
The other tailed beasts—Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Kokuō, Saiken, Chōmei, and Gyūki—watched with barely contained laughter.
They now had a new appreciation for Uchiha Yuta's psychological warfare.
Kurama was living proof: Yuta didn't just defeat enemies—he humiliated them.
The rest of the tailed beasts felt a cold chill down their spines.
"This is savage…"
"Kurama must be dying inside. This is beyond humiliation."
"Provoking Uchiha Yuta was foolish. Look at him now—instant social death."
In the distance, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Queen Sāra of Rōran, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyūga Hiashi, Konan, Terumi Mei, and others offered their own commentary.
Initially curious about the purpose of the massive screen in the sky, they now understood: it existed to embarrass Kurama publicly.
The moment they recalled Senju Hashirama saying Kurama "couldn't hurt anyone," laughter burst out again.
And it wasn't just Konoha.
All across the shinobi world, from the Land of Fire to the camps of Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Otogakure, the reaction was explosive.
"Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama played with Kurama like he was a toy."
"Can Kurama hurt anyone? Hah! Hashirama's quote lives rent-free in my mind."
"Uchiha Yuta wasn't fighting Kurama—he was assassinating his public image."
Some shinobi glanced toward the reanimated Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
During the Warring States Era, these two had held the world in their palms. Even the Nine-Tails had been reduced to little more than a glorified pet.
"Brother, your flair for drama hasn't faded one bit," said Senju Tobirama with a smirk. "I guess Kurama really can't hurt anyone."
Hashirama, calm and composed as ever, replied, "Suppressing Kurama with one hand? It's no big deal."
