His tail is already at 3, and the 4th tail is basically one step away from losing his cool. That is high tension whether Naruto can survive or not.

Episode Context

Coming directly off the Tenchi Bridge encounter, episode 40 escalates the consequences of that pivotal meeting as Naruto's confrontation with Orochimaru pushes him past his limits. This is a critical inflection point early in Shippuden's run, crystallizing the series' central tension around the Nine-Tails and establishing just how dangerous Naruto's power can become. The fallout here will reshape team dynamics and set the trajectory for the arc's remaining confrontations.
