Kurama's mind raced as it started to piece things together.
It had sensed a familiar tailed beast chakra from Takuya before—similar to its own, with an oddly pleasant scent. Now, Takuya had a small white fox by his side, with nine tails, looking strikingly similar to Kurama itself.
Well, that solves the mystery.

Thanks to Snowy's warning, Takuya knew that the ANBU were around, helping to clear the area.

Minato and Nawaki nodded, determination etched on their faces. They had already uncovered so much—what harm was there in learning a little more? How Takuya knew all these secrets wasn’t the issue anymore. What mattered was understanding just how deep the darkness ran in Konoha’s leadership.

Word had come from the battlefield in the Land of Rivers: Chiyo’s son and daughter-in-law, in an attempt to cut off Konoha’s supply lines, had led a team deep into the Land of Fire.
If Kurama hadn’t been sealed securely inside Kushina, Orochimaru might have started to suspect that Snowy was just a differently colored version of the Nine-Tails.
With Snowy’s help and Takuya’s own strength, subduing Manda shouldn’t have been a problem.
