Chapter 368

In fact, the double-layered preparations made by Uchiha Chi were not solely meant for guarding against the Nine-Tails. As is well known, the personalities of the Nine-Tails and all other Tailed Beasts are straightforward and direct, without any concealment or deceit. Once they promise something, they will undoubtedly go all out to fulfill it. Therefore, these precautions taken by Uchiha Chi were designed much more as a strategy to deal with those who might covet the power of the Tailed Beasts and harbor malicious intentions toward them—such as Uchiha Madara's summoning jutsu for the Nine-Tails. However, the specific details naturally did not need to be explained one by one to Itachi and the others; instead, they could serve to set everyone's minds at ease. Following that, Uchiha Chi began to patiently explain to the three of them why he was able to successfully extract the Tailed Beast from his body without endangering his life. His original intention in doing so was very simple: through an easy-to-understand explanation, he hoped to give them a general grasp of the underlying principles, thereby deepening their understanding and mastery of the mysterious energy known as chakra.
