Naruto watched as Tsume left, then bit his thumb and smeared some of his blood on his palm before starting to weave hand signs.
Boar, Dog, Bird, Monkey, Ram.
"First things first," Naruto muttered before slamming his palms on the ground, causing Kanji script to appear around them.

Pooof
A small cloud of smoke appeared before disappearing, revealing Katsuyu, who was the size of a cat.
"Hello, Naruto-kun. What can I do for you today?" Katsuyu said
"Hello, Katsuyu. Can you inform Saru-sensei that I have captured the Nibi Jinchuuriki and I want to know how to proceed?" Naruto said
"You captured a Jinchuuriki?" Katsuyu said with a tone filled with disbelief as she looked to the young woman who was lying on the ground unconscious.
"Yes, that is why I want you to inform sensei, as it is no small matter," Naruto replied.
Capturing an enemy Jinchuuriki is a significant achievement, as they are considered a vital pillar of a village's military strength. Capturing them is like crippling an essential part of their force. Saying a Jinchuuriki is captured is unheard of, showing how strong and vital they are for their villages.
"Ok, Naruto-kun. I will be back as soon as possible." Katsuyu said before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Naruto then turned back towards Yugito, unsealing a large prisoner transportation scroll and sealing Yugito in it. With that done, Naruto disappeared in a burst of speed, carrying the scroll and heading towards Konoha's main base.
Around the same time in Konoha;
Hiruzen stood silently, accompanied by his old teammates and advisors, as he watched Shinobi prepare many different supplies to be taken to Kumo's front. The first wave of funding had arrived from the Fire Daimyo, which helped Konoha a lot as their own treasury was about to run dry.
Poooof
Hiruzen and his teammates blinked in slight surprise as they saw Katsuyu appear in front of them.
"Hello, Sarutobi-sama." Katsuyu said
"Welcome, Katsuyu-Sama," Hruzen said with a small smile
"I have an important message for you from Naruto-kun," Katsuyu said
"From Naruto. What is it?" Hiruzen asked.
Katsuyu didn't say anything at first as she looked at Homura and Koharu before looking back at Hiruzen. That made Hiruzen raise an eyebrow as a small sense of alarm appeared in his mind.
"It is ok. You can say what you have." Hiruzen said, reassuring her.
"Naruto has captured the Nibi Jinchuuriki," Katsuyu said, shocking the three to the core.
"And he asked to ask you what to do next." Katsuyu finished. However, she didn't receive a reply, as the three were still processing what they had just heard.
"That is good, right?" Homura said, breaking the silence.
"Good and bad," Koharu replied with a complicated expression.
"Where is he now, Katsuyu-sama?" Hiruzen asked with a hint of urgency in his voice.
"He seemed to have just captured her and wanted to inform you," Katsuyu said.
"Tell him to secure her at the main base before returning and taking command of the frontline. Tell him I will join him as soon as I can." Hiruzen said, to which Katsuyu nodded before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"What, why?" Homura asked as he saw Hiruzen bite his thumb
"With the Nibi jinchuuriki captured, the Raikage is most definitely going to the frontlines," Hiruzen said as he finished waving hand seals before slamming his hand on the ground.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)
Pooof
A small monkey appeared from a puff of smoke. It looked around for a second before looking directly at Hiruzen.
"Go to Jiraiya and tell him to be at the Kumo front as soon as possible. I don't care what he is doing; tell him to go there quickly." Hiruzen said, to which the small monkey nodded before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
"Take care of the village until I return," Hirzen said to his advisors before disappearing in a burst of speed.
In the land of frost, Kumo's main base;
Bee and the rest of the Kumo Shinobi looked toward where the front line was. They are still out of the loop of what was happening there after that explosion, as there was no news that came to them from the front.
"Movement up ahead," a lookout shouted, making the Kumo Shinobi look towards where the lookout was pointing.
At first, they thought it was a messenger from the front lines, but that thought evaporated as soon as they saw the large number of Kumo Shinobi coming towards them.
Now they felt confusion with bits forming in their stomachs when they saw the expressions of the Kumo Shinobi that are arriving.
"What happened?" Isamu roared with anger as he looked at the large number of Kumo shinobi returning from the frontlines. He could also see that many of the Shinobi who were sent didn't return.
None of the returning Shinobi replied or even looked at him. The shame they felt was too great.
Isamu eyed the shinobi one by one, waiting for an answer, then his eyes fell on Samui and Maubi before he took in their devastated expressions.
That alarmed him greatly as he looked through the returning force looking for Yugito, but he didn't find her, making his expression turn to one of horror.
"Where is Yugito?" Isamu shouted, but he didn't get an answer.
"Mabui," Bee called with an even tone, his rhythmic way of speaking being absent. The young chunin looked at her Sensei with a sad and devastated expression.
"Where is Yugito?" Bee asked
"She…she got captured," Mabui said weakly, sending a wave of shock and horror through the ranks of Kumo shinobi that were in the base.
"Captured???? What do you mean captured?" Isamu asked as he stepped forward, clearly losing his nerves.
"I don't know. It was all Naruto's doing." Mabui said as she shook her head.
"Naruto? As in the boy from the Chunin exams? What does he have to do with anything?" A Kumo shinobi from the base said, remembering the red-haired boy from Konoha who won the Chunin exams they held around three years ago.
"Quiet," Isamu ordered, giving the shinobi a side eye before looking back at Mabui, waiting for an explanation.
"He is the one who captured Yugito. Using some sort of Chains that stopped her even when she transformed into her full bijuu form," Samui was the one to reply with an even tone.
"What type of Chains stop a bijuu? Tell me what happened from the beginning." Isamu ordered, feeling that he was losing his mind.
And for the next few minutes, Samui explained how they initially had the advantage, swiftly breaking through Konoha's lines before they were halted by Konoha reinforcements led by Naruto. She described how he was able to use wide-ranging techniques, go toe-to-toe with a fully transformed Yugito, stop her attacks, and even redirect her Bijuudama. Then she details his golden chains that emerged from within him, which rendered Yugito helpless and forced her out of her transformation.
Hearing what happened, the Kumo Shinobi were in a state of disbelief, shock, and anger.
"Impossible"
"That can't be"
"He fought a bijuu and won?????"
"What type of monster do those tree huggers have?"
"Enough!" Isamu shouted, making the muttering stop
"Have our fastest messenger carry an urgent message back to Kumo. Raikage-sama must know about this." Isamu said with a bitter tone. This is a complete disaster, an utter defeat, one that would be recorded in history books.
They are the first Shinobi village to have their Jinchuuriki captured in combat.
"Isamu-san, shouldn't we try and retrieve the Jinchuuriki? We still have numbers and Bee-sama." A Kumo shinobi said with many nodding and agreeing with him. They can't stay still and swallow this feeling of defeat.
"No, the two regiments we sent are almost reduced by half, and if Konoha does have someone that can completely stop a Jinchuuriki, then Bee-sama can't go to the frontlines unless Raikage-sama orders it," Isamu said.
