Logically, in a battle of this scale, neither side would dispatch ninja of this level.
After all, a Tailed Beast was a strategic-level power.
To deploy a Jinchuriki in such a small-scale battle was simply shameless.
However, looking at it from another angle, it was also equivalent to giving the Akatsuki an opportunity.
If Kumogakure hadn't sent out their Jinchuriki to a place like this, there wouldn't be such a rare opportunity for capture.
If the Jinchuriki stayed in Kumogakure, who knows when there would be a chance to capture the Two-Tails!
As for invading Kumogakure.
It would naturally not be a problem for Yuichi, but Nagato would not easily agree to such a plan.
Invading Sunagakure once had already caused enough of a commotion.
To invade Kumogakure again would really be stirring up a hornet's nest.
At this stage, it was obviously not something that could be done.
At the very least, they had to wait until there were only one or two Tailed Beasts left. At that time, it wouldn't matter how big of a commotion they caused.
On the sea.
The two sides were engaged in battle.
The Kirigakure side was quickly being defeated.
Even the ninja leading the team, a jonin with good strength.
Was facing Kumogakure's Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
There was a gap in strength.
He was quickly defeated.
In the blink of an eye, only three or four of the dozen or so Kirigakure ninja were left alive.
The others were all dead!
The Kumogakure side had basically no casualties.
Only two Kumo ninja were injured. The others were completely fine.
Of the four surrounded Kirigakure ninja, the jonin had a huge gash on his chest, so deep that the bone was visible, torn open by the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
His face was pale.
"...The Jinchuriki of Kumogakure... damn it, I didn't expect you to send out the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Are all Kumogakure ninja so despicable?!"
The Kirigakure ninja cursed.
However, the people on the Kumogakure side felt no shame at all.
Yugito Nii looked at the group of dying Kiri ninja.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too naive."
"How important this place is to both Kumogakure and Kirigakure! I don't need to say more, right?"
"Kumogakure will not give up such an important island."
With that, Yugito glanced at the surrounding Kumo ninja.
She signaled everyone to prepare to make a move and finish off these last few guys.
The remaining few Kiri ninja's faces were now ashen.
Anyone would know that they were about to die. Their faces would not be too calm.
However, in a daze.
Along with the light from the flares floating on the sea.
It was as if they saw two figures slowly approaching in the distance.
The two were stepping on the undulating waves, walking towards them.
It was as if they were ghosts coming to reap their souls.
"Ghosts?"
A Kiri ninja screamed.
The jonin beside him turned his head and reprimanded, "Idiot! Calm down. Ghosts? Even if we're going to die, die with some dignity."
The Kiri ninja pointed in the direction of Yuichi and Kisame Hoshigaki, stuttering and unable to form a complete sentence.
The jonin looked in the direction he was pointing.
He also saw the two figures. The jonin was stunned. "Are there really ghosts?"
The Kumo ninja looked at each other. The Kiri ninja?
Their appearance before death was too ridiculous. Ghosts?
Would a ninja be afraid of ghosts?!
Yugito also shook her head in disappointment. The appearance of these people before death was too unsightly.
But the next second.
She suddenly heard the sound of footsteps on the water.
She suddenly turned around.
"Who's there?"
The Kumo ninja also reacted one after another and turned to look behind them.
It seemed they had been too focused on the battle before and had not noticed the existence of Yuichi and Kisame at all.
Now, Yuichi and Kisame had stopped ten meters away.
On the water, the two figures were undulating.
They swayed like ghostly shadows.
Seeing the two guys in black cloaks standing still.
Yugito shouted angrily, "Who are you! Playing tricks!"
Playing tricks?
Yuichi was stunned. Were he and Kisame playing tricks?
They were just walking normally.
It was just because of the lighting effect that they were scared.
Yuichi and Kisame pouted helplessly.
"Miss Two-Tails Jinchuriki, we're not playing tricks. We've been here all along. It's just that you were too focused on the battle and didn't notice us from beginning to end!"
Kisame said unhurriedly.
Yugito: "Who are you? Why are you here? It can't be a coincidence, right?"
Kisame shook his head. "Of course it's not a coincidence! We're here for you!"
"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, Yugito Nii!"
For me?
Yugito: "Who are you? Which village's ninja are you, to dare to have designs on Kumogakure's Tailed Beast?"
"Village? Hehehe!" Kisame smiled. "Sorry, I don't have a village anymore. We are... the Akatsuki!"
"As for my name, Kisame Hoshigaki!!!"
The name Kisame Hoshigaki was a bit unfamiliar to Yugito.
But the few surviving Kiri ninja behind her were suddenly stunned.
"Kisame Hoshigaki! One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, a rogue ninja!"
"Why would a rogue ninja from our village suddenly appear here?"
"Akatsuki?? I've never heard that name!"
The few Kirigakure ninja looked surprised after hearing the name.
Yugito stared at Kisame. "A rogue ninja from Kirigakure! Then what are you going to do?"
Kisame glanced at Yuichi beside him. "I'll leave that guy to you. The others are mine!"
"No problem!" Yuichi nodded.
He raised his hand and took off the straw hat with wind chimes on his head.
He casually threw it aside.
The first thing Yugito noticed when Yuichi took off his straw hat.
Was that she was a little surprised.
This guy, who exuded a very dangerous aura, was so young.
Looking at the forehead protector on his head, it was a Kirigakure forehead protector, but there was a scratch in the middle.
Was he also a rogue ninja from Kirigakure?
Reflecting the light of the flares.
The moment Yuichi's face appeared.
A cold wind blew in her face.
Yugito blinked.
But the next second.
She suddenly found that everything in front of her had changed!
The sea under her feet was frozen.
The boundless sea around her had instantly turned into a cold ice surface.
The white ice crystals, illuminated by a faint light in the dark night, seemed to be emitting light.
The sea seemed to have instantly lit up.
She looked up.
Yugito looked at Yuichi.
Yuichi's left hand was covered in a thick layer of frost.
It was emitting an astonishing amount of cold air!
Yugito stared at Yuichi with wide eyes.
'This ability?'
'Who is he?'
'Ice? Ice Style? Kekkei Genkai?'
For a moment, Yugito was stunned.
The surrounding Kumo ninja and the few surviving Kiri ninja were also stunned.
The sea under their feet had instantly turned into an ice surface?
What was this power?
But for the Kiri ninja, they knew this ability.
Ice Style!
A Kekkei Genkai that was once unique to Kirigakure, but now it had disappeared.
The kid in front of them could actually use a Kekkei Genkai that had disappeared from Kirigakure!
BAM! BAM!
Just as Yugito was staring at Yuichi.
Suddenly, a roaring sound was heard in her ear.
Yugito suddenly turned her head.
Five of the Kumo ninja beside her had fallen.
Kisame Hoshigaki, carrying his greatsword Samehada, sneered at the remaining few Kumo ninja who had reacted.
"You'd better not resist, or your death will be painful!"
Yugito's heart trembled wildly.
'Such a fast speed. When did this guy make his move?'
'The former assassination unit of Kirigakure, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist! Kisame Hoshigaki! So strong!'
"Hey! Two-Tails! Where are you looking?"
Yuichi's voice sounded in Yugito's ear!
In an instant, Yugito's eyes widened, and her heart beat rapidly.
Her body trembled a little.
'No...'
'Not good...!'
