Upon hearing this, the sensory ninja hurriedly focused his mind, concentrating fully on his task. A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes and respectfully replied to the Third Hokage, "Reporting to the Third Lord, after careful investigation, I have found that the Nine-Tails is currently located at the Military Police Force's outpost outside the village."
The Third Hokage looked anxiously in the direction of the Nine-Tails in the distance, pondering to himself that the consequences would be simply unimaginable if the Nine-Tails were to fall into the hands of the Uchiha Clan! Overwhelmed with anxiety, he immediately decided to lead the ANBU members to catch up swiftly in order to respond to any potential situation in a timely manner.
