“So Damos did come to capture the jinchuriki then...”
Come to think of it, the Mizukage never explicitly stated that the one tails jinchuriki had been captured. She had only alluded to the objective of this mysterious organization and it was now clear how she had come to that conclusion. It made sense for Mei to not disclose that information, as it would be unwise to let all the villages in the room know that the Mist had basically lost their tailed beast. Jinchuriki were essentially a major piece of a village’s military strength. Both offensive and defensive. Sunagakure was considered by most to be the weakest of the great villages, primarily due to them not being in possession of their own tailed beast before they were given Kin. If the other villages knew about the loss of the jinchuriki, they may be more willing to act boldly against the Mist. Especially if the conflict within the village began to spite out of control. Kiro looked to Kai, knowing this was all taking a toll on the Yuki, at least mentally, especially due to who the jinchuriki had been.
“If I remember correctly, the one tails jinchuriki was also a Yuki, so the loss probably impacted you a lot more. I don’t think your father would sit idly by with one of his own taken. Assuming those guards survived the encounter, then maybe Damos purposefully avoided outright killing everyone? I know it sounds strange, but I heard he also has techniques from certain clans in the Mist, like the Yuki and Hōzuki clans. Damos could’ve spared them due to some connection to the Mist, unless they just got lucky and survived instead. It’s a bit of a reach, but maybe there is also a chance the jinchuriki might still be alive. Did anyone even bother trying to find him?”
Of course, Kiro couldn’t help but begin to theorize with the new information on Damos that had been revealed to him. He was also interested in the mysterious group and what their goals were for the jinchuriki. As evident by the event with the eight tails jinchuriki, tailed beasts were well sought after. Mostly due to their power, but that was a pretty basic reason. This organization was shrouded in mystery, with the presumed goal of capturing the weapons that played a role in holding the current balance of power in place for the ninja world. If this group had other members similar to the demon known as Damos, then they should be a threat to be taken seriously like the Mizukage warned. Kiro would have to ask Orochimaru about the group when he had the chance. The Snake Sannin had his hands in a lot of things after all, so an organization like this shouldn’t have escaped his attention. Having one of the most knowledgeable people in the world as a teacher was quite the privilege.
