Chapter 321: Two-Tails and Eight-Tails

"Dammit..."

"How can we possibly defeat a guy like this?!"

Seeing Toshogun before them, transformed into an ice-armored spirit, raise a foot and shatter a group of ninjas into ice blocks, the surrounding Hidden Cloud Ninjas were utterly shocked and horrified.

"Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder!!"

A Hidden Cloud Ninja, refusing to believe the odds, formed hand seals and directly unleashed a powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu. The violent current surged from the ground towards Toshogun's feet, but apart from scattering a bit of ice, it had no effect on the elementalized Toshogun!

Bang!!

Instead, it seemed to attract Toshogun's ire. A fist the size of a house came crashing down, instantly smashing the ninja into ice shards flying in all directions!

All of a sudden, wherever Toshogun, clad in Devine Ice Armor, passed, nothing remained. The many Hidden Cloud Ninjas present didn't even have a chance to get close before Toshogun froze them all into ice blocks and then shattered them.

"It's useless..."

"In the face of true power, numbers mean nothing."

Facing off against the entire Hidden Cloud, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, with just his own strength, Yu effortlessly controlled Toshogun with Parasitic Threads to massacre all the Hidden Cloud Ninjas present. He even spoke calmly, "I told you, the downfall of your Hidden Cloud Ninja Village is inevitable today."

"Mouse Hairball!!"

However, just as Yu finished speaking, a sharp cry came from behind. Nii Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki who had silently joined the battle, had already performed a Ninjutsu and released dozens of fireballs at him. The fireballs burned with blue flames, clearly not ordinary flames.

Protective Barrier!!

Michael, who was beside him, automatically reacted instantly. A huge transparent protective barrier sprang up, directly blocking the sudden onslaught of numerous blue fireballs aimed at Yu.

"The unstoppable flames of the Two-Tails Matatabi..."

But when Yu turned back, he saw that these blue flames, blocked by Michael's Protective Barrier, did not dissipate. Instead, they continued to burn incessantly on its surface. His eyes narrowed slightly as he recognized these flames, somewhat similar to the Amaterasu released by the Mangekyo Sharingan. They should be the unquenchable flames of the Two-Tails, Matatabi, among the Nine Tailed Beasts.

"Die, you damn kid!!"

"As long as we kill you, Hidden Cloud will naturally be safe!!"

Sure enough, a faint fragrance drifted through the air, followed by a piercing sound of breaking space. Nii Yugito, the proud and aloof Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails with her light golden hair, had already used Body Flicker to appear before Yu.

"Cat Claw!!"

Behind her burst forth two blue-black tails of Tailed Beast Chakra. Just like Killer B on the other side, she had entered a semi-complete Tailed Beast Transformation form. With a single glance, she unleashed a rapid series of Taijutsu strikes against Yu.

"Such agile movements..."

"It seems I shouldn't underestimate the Jinchūriki of Hidden Cloud..."

With his Observation Haki's advanced sensing abilities, Yu's footsteps traversed freely. He casually evaded the rapid successive attacks from the semi-complete Tailed Beast Transformation form of Nii Yugito before him, though inwardly he sighed softly.

Nii Yugito, also a Perfect Jinchūriki like Killer B of the Eight-Tails, though her Taijutsu lacked the sheer power of the Fourth Raikage and Killer B, masters of NinTaijutsu, her agility surpassed theirs.

Enhanced by the formidable Chakra of the Two-Tails, Matatabi, Nii Yugito's movements resembled those of a cat demon pushed to its utmost limits, poised to seize any momentary lapse of attention from her enemies with a lethal strike.

Confident in her own strength, this powerful and beautiful kunoichi from Hidden Cloud had engaged the Akatsuki duo Kakuzu and Hidan alone. She was eventually defeated by Hidan's unknown curse technique.

"Mabui! Use the Heavenly Transfer Jutsu to teleport all the important items from the village!!"

"Also! Find a way to evacuate all the villagers from the shelters!"

While Yu battled Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails, on one side, the Fourth Raikage, who was being tightly suppressed by Kaio, glanced briefly at the Birdcage overhead, which was tightening more and more. Nearby, Hidden Cloud villagers were being massacred by Toshogun, who was unleashing his Divine Ice Armor. Anxiously, he turned to his secretary assistant Mabui beside him and said,

"I understand, Raikage-sama!!"

Upon hearing the command from the Fourth Raikage, who was currently in a tough battle, Mabui, a Hidden Cloud kunoichi dressed in secretary attire with white hair and dark skin, gritted her teeth and nodded amidst the chaotic crowd. In an instant, she vanished from her original spot.

"Heavenly Transfer Jutsu"—this unique Space-Time Ninjutsu of the Hidden Cloud kunoichi Mabui allows her to teleport any object at the speed of light to any location, unaffected by any conditions or areas.

However, unlike Summoning and Reverse Summoning Jutsu, during the super high-speed teleportation, a person's body would be torn apart, resulting in death. Therefore, while Heavenly Transfer Jutsu is quick and convenient, under normal circumstances, it cannot be used to teleport living people.

"Damn... this can't go on like this..."

On the other side, Killer B in his semi-complete Tailed Beast Transformation was also in a tough spot. Faced with the continuous barrage of bear-paw shockwaves unleashed by Tyrant like a storm, even he found it difficult to extricate himself and intervene in the surrounding battles.

"It seems the destruction of the village is inevitable now..."

"We can only find a way to get more people out of this damn cage..."

Watching countless Hidden Cloud ninjas being continuously frozen and slaughtered by Toshogun not far away, Killer B felt heavy-hearted, to the point that he even lost his enthusiasm for rapping and freestyling.

Glancing up at the Birdcage, which had already closed halfway and sliced the surrounding half of the Hidden Cloud Ninja village into countless fragments, the semi-complete Tailed Beast Transformation of Killer B finally couldn't hold back and began to unleash his strongest power.

"Roar!!"

With a fierce roar, massive octopus tentacles began to erupt from Killer B's body as he battled Tyrant. An enormous and indescribable Chakra surged incessantly like a raging sea from within him. The half-complete transformation of Killer B was replaced by a monstrous bull-headed octopus creature that continued to grow larger.

"This is the true face of Killer B, watch me shatter your damn Birdcage!!"

After erupting into his complete form as a gigantic octopus monster, Killer B spoke human words from his mouth. Opening wide, he began to wildly gather immense black Chakra, which quickly formed into a massive Tailed Beast Bomb—its target unmistakably the Birdcage surrounding and slicing through the Hidden Cloud Ninja village.

"Finally appeared... the true form of Gyuki, the Eight-Tails..."

"To think there really exists Chakra of such enormous magnitude in this world..."

Seeing Killer B transformed into the full Eight-Tails Gyuki, his Observation Haki sensing the seemingly infinite Chakra within its body, even Yu couldn't help but feel speechlessly astonished.

Tailed Beasts are embodiments of Chakra in the Naruto world, and Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, is second only to Kurama, the Nine-Tails, among the Nine Tailed Beasts. Its Chakra level is far beyond what any ordinary Kage could contend with.

"However... can the Tailed Beast Bomb alone truly break through my Birdcage?"

Sensing Killer B's intention, Yu, who was dealing with the fierce attacks of Yugito, the Two-Tails before him with ease, muttered to himself. A glint of light passed through his amber-clear eyes.
