Chapter 64
: Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki!
"Ding! Swish—!"
"Pfft!"
Uchiha Sumi used Futsu-no-Mitama to sever a Cloud Ninja's sword, and then beheaded him.
As a head flew into the air, his dark eyes darted around rapidly. As he nimbly leaped through the crowd, he kept a close eye on the distance between himself and the blonde girl.
The battle between Konoha and Kumogakure took place on a plain in the northern part of the Land of Hot Springs, a result of Kumogakure deliberately slowing down their march.
The flat terrain greatly increased the area of direct contact between the two sides, which intensified the war. However, this was not the main reason why the Hidden Cloud Village chose this location. The main reason was that the flat terrain was more suitable for the Tailed Beasts to exert their power!
"Fire Rat Jade!"
A sharp shout came from somewhere, and a rat-shaped fireball burning with a ghostly blue flame suddenly flew from the corner toward Uchiha Mo's back.
"call out--!"
However, Uchiha Mo, who was prepared, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He slightly turned his body, and the fireball grazed his back and landed in empty space.
He pointed his straight sword diagonally at the ground, turned his head slightly, and looked at the blonde girl with long braids. Upon seeing this, the surrounding Cloud Ninja quickly retreated, making room for him.
"Yugito, the 'Blood Ninja' is entrusted to you. You must avenge Lord Tsuchida!"
Upon hearing the rare kindness from his companion, Yugito couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, and the index finger of his right hand, hanging by his side, trembled slightly.
Immediately afterward, the Fire Rat Ball, which had already flown a distance behind Uchiha Mo, seemed to receive some kind of command. It instantly dispersed and turned into a dense ball of small fireballs, which then turned sharply and shot towards Mo's back again!
"call out--!"
"call out--!"
"call out--!"
"..."
Uchiha Mo didn't even look. He leaped into the air, and as he spun and flipped, the small fireballs grazed his body, flying past his armpits, knees, waist, and other gaps in his body, all landing in empty spaces.
With her feet firmly planted on the ground, Mo Wei turned to face Yu Muren, her dark eyes turning crimson, and a murderous smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"Is this the Two-Tails' ability? It seems it still hasn't escaped the drawbacks of Fire Release. As expected, even with a privileged birth, a beast's intelligence is still limited to the level of a beast."
Tailed beasts are probably the most unique of all life forms in the ninja world. They are physical entities made of pure chakra, possessing not only intelligence and life, but also the ability to be immortal. Even if they die, they will regenerate and be reborn somewhere in the ninja world after a period of time.
This life form was extremely valuable to Uchiha Mo.
The Sage of Six Paths used Yin-Yang Release: Creation of All Things to split the chakra of the Ten-Tails and create the nine tailed beasts, each with its own unique abilities.
Among them, the Two-Tails Matatabi's ability is a dark blue flame. The original work does not provide an analysis of this bloodline limit-like ability, but based on this point and the special nature of tailed beasts, if tailed beasts can provide proficiency, then the Two-Tails is definitely one of the best choices to improve fire jutsu proficiency.
Furthermore, in the lore, the Tailed Beast Ball is a black, high-density chakra ball formed by the Tailed Beast rapidly rotating and compressing its Yin-Yang Release chakra in a 2:8 ratio in the air.
Therefore, the more powerful the tailed beast, the stronger its Yin-Yang Release attribute!
Yugito's lips curved into a smile as she opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw Uchiha Mo's face clearly, she suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation for no apparent reason, and a sharp pain shot through her abdomen.
She frowned sharply, quite puzzled.
"What's going on? Why did the Two-Tails suddenly go berserk?! Damn it! Of all times..."
Yugito became the Two-Tails Jinchuriki at the age of two. Now, after nearly ten years of training, although she has not yet reached the state of being a near-perfect Jinchuriki as she appeared in the original work, she is already able to actively draw chakra from the Tailed Beasts for combat, similar to Naruto's Golden Body form. Therefore, Kumogakure entrusted her with the revenge against Uchiha Sumi.
However, to her utter surprise, the Two-Tails suddenly became agitated at this moment! Although she could handle it quickly, this was during a battle!
Uchiha Mo, of course, would not let this opening slip by. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Yugito.
"Bear--!"
The crimson blade, accompanied by a wave of heat, sliced through the air and instantly reached the snow-white skin on the side of Yugito's neck.
Yumu Ren's heart skipped a beat, and she was horrified. The intense heat and overwhelming killing intent suddenly enveloped her like a tidal wave, making it difficult for her to breathe. She could even feel her hair turning brittle and curly due to the high temperature.
Without even taking care to adjust his internal state, Yukito immediately bowed his head.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered, and a piece of flesh and blood, along with long golden hair, flew out.
Without time to think, Yugi instinctively lay down on the ground, then used his hands to push off the ground and nimbly flipped over to create distance between himself and Uchiha Sumire.
A sharp, burning pain shot through the flesh that had been cut open at the back of her head. Yukito could even smell the aroma of meat. She could picture the charred, bloody cut on the back of her head.
Mo glanced at Yukito in the distance with some surprise.
"I have to say, it's typical of cats; their movements are incredibly agile."
"But playing hide-and-seek alone... won't get you out of my clutches."
With the three tomoe spinning, Sumi tapped her toes, gripped the Futsu-no-Mitama in her hand, and charged towards Yugito once more!
Yugito quickly took the opportunity to suppress the restlessness within him, then crossed his hands in front of his chest and rapidly mobilized his chakra.
"Cat paws!"
"bass--!"
Ten sharp blades sprang from Yugito's fingertips in response, and at that moment, Mo had already reached Yugito's front.
He took a deep breath, stopped with his left foot, and slid his right foot in an arc on the ground. With a flick of his wrist, he changed his grip on the long sword to a normal hold and sheathed it. He gripped the scabbard tightly with his left hand and held the hilt loosely with his right. He slowly lowered his body in front of the wooden doll, and his cold gaze fell on her.
"Crimson Blaze - Severing the Red Waves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blazing and powerful burst of chakra erupted instantly, and the wooden doll's brain frantically sounded alarms!
"You'll die!"
She immediately abandoned her original plan, withdrew her attacking paw and instead used it to block in front of her. At the same time, a ghostly blue flame quickly spread from her body!
"Bear--!!!"
In an instant, the blade in "Blood Blade" form was drawn, and blood flames exploded in a ring shape, forming a huge fire disc that wildly slashed and spun outwards amidst intense burning!

The cat's claws snapped the moment they touched the target, and along with the claws flew a severed arm. The "Severing Wave" continued its momentum, slashing into the wooden doll's abdomen and splashing up a burst of eerie blue flames!
"Ugh! Cough—!"
The wooden figure coughed up a mouthful of blood and its body was thrown out like a tattered sack.
"Pfft!"
Uchiha Sumi used Futsu-no-Mitama to sever a Cloud Ninja's sword, and then beheaded him.
