Chapter 65
Kill!
"Cough! Cough cough!"
Yukito struggled to her feet, supporting herself with one hand, blood gushing uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth.
She looked down at the severed right arm and the horrific wound on her abdomen that faintly revealed her internal organs. If she hadn't given up attacking and focused on defense at the last moment, using the Tailed Beast Cloak of the Two-Tails to reduce the damage from the Fire Release, she would probably have been cut in two!
Uchiha Mo's move was extremely powerful, and many Cloud Ninjas around him were affected and died instantly. The two "Abby" at the front line also noticed the change in the battle situation. They were anxious, but Minato and the others were sticking to them too closely.
"tread……"
Mo wielded his sword, his calm gaze falling on Yukito, his long sword pointing diagonally towards the ground as he slowly approached.
Footsteps drew closer, and Yukito felt a chill run down his spine. The Hidden Cloud Village was wrong, terribly wrong! They had underestimated Uchiha Mo's strength; this guy was at least as strong as one of Abby's!
A cool sensation came from the back of his head, and the gentle breeze seemed to blow directly into his cerebral cortex. The cut on his severed arm was charred black by the flames and the bleeding had stopped. The long incision on his abdomen had been forcibly sealed by Yugito using the tailed beast's chakra; otherwise, his intestines would probably have fallen out of the wound.
Clenching her teeth, Yugito once again mobilized the chakra within her body, and the crimson tailed beast cloak began to spread from her body.
Even so, I must not let my comrades down!
If you can't win even with all your might, then fight with 120% effort! If your hand is severed, kick it! If your leg is broken, bite it! If your teeth are shattered, smash them with your head! In short... never, ever give up! Never, ever let your comrades down!

Soon, the crimson tailed beast cloak covered Yugito's entire body, and the half-tailed beast transformation was completed in an instant!
Perhaps it was because of her strong will, or perhaps it was because of some change that occurred with the Two-Tails, but her half-tailed beast transformation was smoother than usual, and the power she displayed was also stronger!
(Yūkito's half-tailed beast form)
Enveloped in a tight layer of physical chakra, Yugito's injuries were quickly suppressed, and she felt an unusually strong power within her that was stronger than usual, making her exceptionally excited.
"This force...can win!"
"Is it getting all pricked up?"
Uchiha Mo tilted his head slightly, looking at the monster that was two people tall in front of him with no change in expression. However, the crimson heat on Futsu no Mitama was instantly replaced by azure lightning.
The Two-Tails' chakra has extremely strong resistance to fire-style damage, especially after it has partially or fully transformed into a tailed beast. Therefore, using lightning-style chakra is the best choice against it.
"Whoosh!"
Yugito vanished from his spot in an instant and launched an attack.
Almost at the same second that the wooden figure disappeared, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the side. Without even looking, Mo quickly turned around and raised Futsu-no-Mitama.
"Ding!"
Blinding sparks flew, and a shockwave rose from beneath him. A tremendous force came from the hilt of the sword, causing Mo's feet to sink a little deeper. But even so, he remained completely still. It was the ground that couldn't withstand the pressure, not Mo himself.
While the power bestowed by his innate divine strength is not enough to give him an overwhelming advantage in high-level battles, it also prevents his enemies from gaining an advantage in this regard.
"Roar!" The red cat-shaped monster roared.
"This guy's physical strength is so powerful, he can even block the claws of a half-tailed beast cat, and his speed is just as fast... This is troublesome!"
"Click!"
With a sudden, sharp sound, the wooden figure immediately turned its gaze and was instantly astonished to find that its claws had been cut several inches into by the knife.
"Ha—!" She turned her head and let out a low growl like a kitten in danger. Then she raised her other front paw and pressed her entire body weight onto Uchiha Mo's blade, causing Mo's body to sink a little deeper.
Immediately afterwards, Yugito stared at Uchiha Mo beneath him and swung another front paw at Mo's waist and abdomen!
The sharp cat claws sliced through the air, leaving a white trail and hissing as if the space itself were being shattered.
At the same time, a low, hissing roar came from Mu Ren's mouth:
"You are indeed very strong, but unfortunately, a cat has more than one claw! Die with remorse for your actions towards Kumogakure!"
"Hmph~"
Uchiha Mo sneered and suddenly raised his other hand.
"No matter how fiercely a kitten bares its teeth and claws, in its owner's eyes it's just being affectionate."
"Hey——!"
A thousand birds sang, and a long, sharp, azure-blue lightning spear suddenly shot out from Mo's raised left hand!
"Pfft!"
The lightning spear, aided by its own power and the force of the wooden dummy's sweep, instantly pierced through the cat's paw, halting the wooden dummy's attack. Lightning rapidly spread from the wound, and in an instant, she felt a strong numbness spread throughout her body, causing her entire body to gradually weaken.
"..."
Yugito, seeing the slightly mocking Uchiha Mo beneath her, suddenly flew into a rage. Before the feeling of weakness fully took hold, she gritted her teeth, ignoring the excruciating pain in her left claw and the lightning spear on it:
"Damn it! Don't underestimate my resolve!"
Then... "Pfft!"
Crimson blood mixed with chakra splattered as the wooden golem forcefully delivered the blow!
Her entire left forearm was instantly torn in two. Although it was just a tailed beast cloak, Yugito truly felt the pain and almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, despite the terrible price she paid, her attack hit her target!
With a muffled "bang," Uchiha Mo was instantly sent flying!
"Fantastic! It's a success!" Yugito exclaimed joyfully upon seeing this.
However, before she could be happy for long, Mo slowly rolled his eyes in mid-air, then flipped over and landed steadily on the ground. His feet plowed a trench in the ground, but he also stopped moving.
Mo glanced at the torn shirt, reached out with his right arm, grabbed the shoulder, and ripped it off in an instant, revealing his fair, jade-like, and unharmed muscular body underneath.

"How...how is this possible..."
Upon seeing this, Yugito froze, and his voice was tinged with a strong sense of powerlessness.
"My cat claws can easily cut through steel, how could the Uchiha possibly have such a strong physique..."
Mo picked up his straight knife and twisted his neck.
"Since you've managed to do this... I'll give you a compliment. You're the first person in all these years to actually land a hit on me. It's just a pity that while the speed was good, the power was lacking. Of course, if you're just tickling me, it's passable."
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on Mo's lips.
He flipped his wrist to grip the straight knife in reverse, and the azure lightning on the blade was quickly stained with blood. In no time, the original blue lightning transformed into a kind of lightning with a blood-red, flame-like halo, with crackling arcs of electricity occasionally flashing on the blade.
Beneath layers of invisible air currents, Mo's long braid swayed slightly, and an extremely dangerous and powerful chakra aura instantly spread from the battlefield!
Yugito stared blankly at the scene, clearly still reeling from the fact that his all-out attack, fueled by all his strength and resolve, had only resulted in giving someone a massage.
But Mo naturally wouldn't wait for the enemy to adjust. He raised the arm holding the straight sword, his eyes narrowed slightly, and fell on the cat-shaped monster that was two people tall in the distance.
"Crimson Blaze, Vermilion Fang!"
Yukito struggled to her feet, supporting herself with one hand, blood gushing uncontrollably from the corner of her mouth.
She looked down at the severed right arm and the horrific wound on her abdomen that faintly revealed her internal organs. If she hadn't given up attacking and focused on defense at the last moment, using the Tailed Beast Cloak of the Two-Tails to reduce the damage from the Fire Release, she would probably have been cut in two!
