Chapter 55 Two-Tailed Yukito
"Yūraku Maru, what happened to this?" Yugito frowned as he looked at the scene.
"Is the enemy troublesome?"
Yunlu Maru suppressed the pain, glanced at Yugito, and then lingered for a moment on Samui and Mabui behind her.
"There are four Konoha ninja in total."
He simply sat down and supported his right arm: "The leader is a Jonin from the Akimichi clan, and he has a Byakugan ninja under his command."
"Hyuga?" Yugito's eyes lit up. She knew that the Raikage had been eyeing this bloodline limit for a long time.
This is no secret; it's not the Cloud Ninja family that's plotting to roll their eyes.
"There are two more. What's their strength?"
Although Kumokumaru disliked Yukito, he still acknowledged her strength.
The reason why Jinchūriki are not accepted by the villagers is because of the power of the Tailed Beasts sealed in their bodies.
This force is filled with power and destruction, and it is clearly not safe to leave it to humans to control.
It's like a kid carrying an AK and wandering around the village all day long.
Each village has been devoured by the power of the tailed beasts; such a disaster would be utterly devastating for an individual.
Therefore, the vast majority of villagers regard the Jinchūriki as an ominous person and try to stay away from him as much as possible.
After all, perfect Jinchūriki are extremely rare.
However, in times of war, the Jinchūriki are a village's trump card, maintaining their deterrent power.
It's a contradiction.
Kumokumaru was a ninja who came from ordinary people, and that was also his attitude towards Yugito.
"That white-haired kid must be Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's rising genius."
He used brute force to put the broken bone back in place, and with a "crack," his face turned even paler.
"There's...there's still one person left."
Samui came over and helped him straighten the misaligned part, taking out tools from his pouch to fix it.
"Thank you!" Yunlu Maru's attitude towards the little girl in front of him was noticeably better.
"You are welcome."
After the girl finished doing these things, she returned to Yugito's side.
"Ice Release ninja." Kumokumaru reviewed the battle just now, emphasizing the teamwork when he talked about the others.
The enemy left behind enough intelligence, and Yukito mentally weighed and compared the strengths of both sides.
We can take it.
"Samyi, linen clothes."
"Yes, sir, please speak."
"You two stay here." Yugito glanced at Kumokumaru: "Tell the rest of the team that the enemy is troublesome, and those who haven't reached Jonin level don't need to participate in the pursuit."
"My lord," Samui tried to dissuade him.
"Alright," Yugito interrupted the girl, "This is an order, please carry it out."
"This..." The two girls exchanged a glance and had no choice but to accept it.
"Yes, please be extra careful, sir."
"They can't hurt me."
Yugito smiled confidently, her long, golden hair, tied up high, swaying behind her.
"Yukito," Kumokumaru interjected, "that ice-style ninja..."
The wooden figure looked over.
"He has a pair of eyes I've never seen before, a kind of bloodline limit." He paused. "Be extra careful."
Yukito nodded: "Take good care of your injuries. I'll crush those rats that hurt you."
"Whoosh!"
The person has disappeared from the spot.
-
The hoeing team quickly retreated eastward, four figures leaping and running among the low hills.
This place is only a day's journey from the eastern border; they will be safe once they reach the sea.
Akimichi Suita's chosen retreat route was to head east by sea, circle around to the southern coastline of the Land of Hot Springs, and return to Konoha from there.
Mo Jingxian didn't know why it was always like this; he was either being chased by Sand Ninja or Cloud Ninja.
He even thought about going back to find a tree to worship, or maybe even find a godmother for it.
Being constantly chased and attacked like this isn't a good thing, and it's also bad for your cardiovascular system.
"Someone is catching up from behind, it's Yukito."
Ayako Hinata's voice rang out, and the group quickened their pace again.
"Are you sure it's the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?" Captain Akimichi asked, slightly puzzled. Normally, villages wouldn't allow Jinchuriki to move around freely.
"That's right." Ayako took off her longbow. "I've seen the photo; it's her."
An arrow was nocked: "And it's less than 300 meters away from us, and it's still approaching rapidly."
It seems like another battle is inevitable.
"Hold her off for a moment." Akimichi Chuda became serious. "I'll wait for you up ahead."
After saying that, Captain Akimichi sped away.
"bass!"
With his short sword drawn, Kakashi dodged and concealed himself.
A sharp arrow shot towards the pursuer's face.
Yukito had been chasing after them all the way, and upon meeting, Ayako offered her blessings first.
Her head tilted to the side, and the arrow grazed past her ear, momentarily disrupting her pace and rhythm.
The short sword, imbued with lightning release, slashed in from Yukito's blind spot.
The blade was aimed directly at the heart.
Just as Yugito dodged, ice silently descended.
Mo Jingxian guarded Lingzi's side. His skill was excellent in its concealment, and almost no one could detect it before it was activated.
The team's coordination wasn't as awkward as that of newcomers; rather, it resembled that of a seasoned veteran forged in the crucible of battle.
The method may be old-fashioned, but it works.
As soon as the two sides made contact, Mo Jingxian and his two companions delivered a standard three-piece combo of point, control, and strike.
Just as Kakashi's short sword fell...
A burst of blue flames erupted from Yukito's body.
"Bang!"
The explosive shockwave sent Kakashi flying, and Mo Jingxian's ice-sealing ninjutsu was also broken.
One force can overcome ten techniques.
Yugito adopted a strategy of brute force, aiming to crush the people in front of him with an excessive amount of chakra.
It's violent and unreasonable, but it works very well.
Indeed, all three of them possessed chakra within the normal range of ninjas, making this technique ineffective against them.
"Retreat!" Mo Jingxian calmly analyzed the situation; a direct confrontation would only lead to certain death.
Another arrow was shot out, and Hyuga Ayako turned and ran.
The arrows posed little threat to Yugito, but they did disrupt her rhythm and serve as a form of harassment.
"boom!"
A large crater was stomped into the ground.
Yugito, cloaked in the cloak of a tailed beast, charged forward like a ferocious beast.
Ayako's arrows were deflected by the rising blue flames, rendering them ineffective even as a form of harassment.
"100 meters"... "80 meters"...
The two sides are rapidly closing the distance.
When the wooden figure closed to within 50 meters, Mo Jingxian could even see the twisted black stripes within the blue flames.
And... the violent killing intent emanating from the tailed beast's chakra.
Yes, it's killing intent; that kind of chakra itself possesses consciousness.
If the Uchiha clan's chakra nature leans towards "aggression," then the Hyuga's is "suppression."
Therefore, the nature of the tailed beast chakra is "chaos".
Utter chaos, within which lay boundless killing intent.
Yukito moved very quickly, leaving the group little time to think.
"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"
Kakashi braced himself with his hands on the ground, and three earthen walls rose up one after another, standing between the two sides.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The moment the earthen wall rises, its surface is instantly covered with a thick layer of ice, further enhancing its defensive capabilities.
This cannot be considered a combination of ninjutsu; it is simply a combination of two ninjutsu.
However, its defensive effect far exceeds that of ordinary earthwork walls.
The three did not linger and left immediately after releasing the spell.
Captain Akimichi made it very clear before he left that it was enough to hold off Yugito for a moment, and there was absolutely no need for him to stay and fight to the death.
Three loud rumbles came from behind, as the wooden figure used its strength to break through the magic and smashed through three layers of ice walls in succession.
After a brief attempt to stop them, the two sides separated by another 70 or 80 meters.
"Don't run away." Yugito's tailed beast cloak became even more vibrant.
Don't run!
Mo Jingxian curled her lips. Only a fool wouldn't run away. This wooden man seems to be a little slow on the uptake.
Or perhaps, the chaotic energy is beginning to affect the host.
He had also heard about the saying in the ninja world that perfect Jinchuriki are extremely rare, and it seems that none of the major nations currently have a perfect Jinchuriki.
What if it's not perfect?
Mo Jingxian analyzed the situation secretly in her heart.
The known information is that... they cannot distinguish between friend and foe, the Jinchuriki have lost their personal will, and are completely controlled by the Tailed Beasts.
However, influencing one's will is not something that happens instantly; it must have been predetermined from the very beginning.
Therefore, Yukito's behavior makes sense.
Perhaps we can take advantage of this weakness.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
A dozen or so blue flames separated from the tailed beast's cloak and shot out like bullets.
This technique is the Two-Tailed Fox's skill, "Rat Ball".
A dozen or so orbs of light rained down on the group.
Ayako's arrows met one of the clusters in mid-air.
The next moment, the collision did not occur; "Rat Jade" bypassed the attack.
It seemed to be conscious, relentlessly chasing after the three of them.
The technique is extremely fast; a single mistake is enough to put several people into the opponent's attack rhythm.
The wooden figure was thirty meters away from the group, and would be upon them in the next breath.
"Water Prison Technique"
A C-rank ninjutsu, one of the earliest ninjutsu that Mo Jingxian mastered.
A large water sphere with a radius of more than five meters immediately enveloped most of the light cluster, trapping it inside.
The "Rat Jade" is still struggling, and the water element technique has brought the clash between zodiac signs to its extreme.
In my perception, the chaotic chakra was receding, revealing the original form and logic of this technique.
Mo Jingxian's guess was correct.
Tailed beasts are chakra beings, and techniques involving their chakra naturally carry a portion of their will.
Therefore, the "Rat Ball" technique not only allows one to evade attacks autonomously, but also enhances chakra control.
Kakashi and Ayako Hyuga were each dealing with a ball of "Rat Balls" and were not in danger.
Using his skills to stop the three, Yugito had already reached them.
She leaped over the water prison technique, and while still in mid-air, her five fingers unleashed chakra claws.
This weapon is also a transformation of the tailed beast's chakra cloak, and its sharpness surpasses that of ordinary bladed weapons.
With sharp claws carrying murderous intent, it lunged straight at Mo Jingxian.
Their gazes met in mid-air, and the wooden figure met a pair of black eyes that shone with a silver cross.
Her eyes were pitch black, and the silver cross shone brightly. For no reason, she felt a sudden panic.
As the wooden figure leaped directly above the water prison spell, an ice dragon burst forth from within.
She used the old moves, but the activation of the technique was completely unexpected.
She had never seen or even heard of such a ninjutsu, let alone seen it before.
She was caught off guard and was swallowed whole by the ice dragon.
at the same time.
Ayako Hyuga's longbow was nocked with a chakra arrow.
The entire long arrow glowed faintly, and chakra began to overflow, while Ayako continued to compress the chakra exclusive to the Hyuga clan.
The ice dragon, enveloping the wooden figure, surged ten meters above the ground, reflecting streaks of light in the morning glow.
next second.
The chakra arrow left the bowstring, transforming into a streak of light that struck Yugito directly.
