Chakra swelled violently around Nii Yugito.
A deep blue tail streaked with black patterns suddenly burst out from behind her.
Her entire being radiated a dangerous, feral Aura.
Semi-Tailed Beast Transformation!
Some of the weaker defenders, intimidated by this intense Aura, gulped hard, their legs trembling as they involuntarily backed away.
"Jinchuriki gradually lose their consciousness after transforming. Everyone, use that to your advantage and attack!" Uchiha Hachidai shouted sternly.
"That's true! Except for the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails," Aokawa silently retorted in his mind.
In the next instant, his body suddenly shifted sideways, leaving behind an afterimage.
Almost instantly, a cat claw, swifter and fiercer than before, appeared out of thin air and shredded the afterimage.
"So fast!" Aokawa felt a chill in his heart, filled with lingering fear.
After the Semi-Tailed Beast Transformation, her speed had increased by more than just one level.
Even though he had reacted a step ahead, his arm was still grazed by the Tailed Beast Chakra, and a patch of skin was corroded away.
With a thought, a faint white-green Chakra emerged near the wound and began to control the injury.
Members of the Hyuga Clan can release Chakra from any part of their body, which meant he could activate the Healing Technique without using his palms.
His eyes were fixed intently on the semi-Tailed Beast transformed Nii Yugito.
In the next moment, Nii Yugito's figure suddenly vanished.
"She's coming!"
Aokawa's movement was almost simultaneous; the moment he moved, he rapidly drew his bowstring and fired several Chakra Arrows at the spot where he had just been standing.
Swish, swish, swish!
As Nii Yugito shredded the afterimage, several arrows were already flying straight for her face.
Her expression tightened as her cat claws flashed with blue light, swatting away all the arrows.
A second later, countless leaves appeared behind her, and a gleaming Ninja Blade lunged out from among them.
It was Shirakumo Hayama!
Puchi!
After the Ninja Blade sank a short distance into her flesh, it was firmly caught.
Nii Yugito reacted then, her sharp cat claws slashing across Shirakumo Hayama.
Rip!
The struck Shirakumo Hayama vanished with a poof, turning into a flurry of leaves.
A moment later, he appeared not far away, clutching a wound on his shoulder.
Although Shirakumo Hayama had retreated urgently at the first opportunity, he still couldn't avoid being grazed by the Tailed Beast Chakra.
Meanwhile, the wound he had just inflicted on Nii Yugito was slowly healing amidst a faint mist of steam.
"Damn it! Tailed Beasts are so freaking unreasonable," Aokawa cursed under his breath at the sight.
His gaze sharpened, and with Hirenkyaku, he instantly put a great distance between himself and Nii Yugito.
Then, Sage Mode Chakra poured out without reservation. The Spirit Bow in his hand hummed rapidly, its string vibrating frequently as a brilliant golden light surged.
Swish, swish, swish!
A swarm of dense golden arrows poured out, forming a curtain of arrows that blanketed Nii Yugito like a sudden downpour, cutting off all her paths of retreat.
Nii Yugito's expression hardened, the deep blue Chakra on her body flaring up even more intensely.
She turned into a blue flash, flickering and weaving through the gaps in the arrow curtain with extreme precision.
She moved so fast she left afterimages, but the arrows were too dense; from time to time, an arrow would pierce her body with a puchi sound.
"He's suppressed her!" Shirakumo Hayama gripped his sword hilt, his eyes fixed on the figure that was dodging to the limit within the arrow curtain yet still charging toward Aokawa.
Just when everyone thought there was hope.
"Roar!" Nii Yugito let out a roar from mid-air.
The deep blue Chakra on her body erupted once more like a bursting dam.
Boom!
A second tail, burning with ghostly blue flames, whipped out from behind her!
The arrows in her body were all shattered by this powerful Chakra!
Amidst the swirling white smoke, the wounds she sustained healed frantically at a pace visible to the naked eye!
With the emergence of the second tail, Nii Yugito's Aura became even more dangerous.
In the next second!
Her figure blurred, and she instantly appeared before Aokawa at a speed even greater than before.
Cat claws, carrying a ghostly blue cold light, struck out.
"So fast!" Aokawa was horrified. He twisted to avoid the strike aimed at his vitals, while simultaneously stowing his Spirit Bow and drawing his Ninja Blade for an upward slash.
Clang!
The Ninja Blade blocked the second strike just in time.
Sparks flew!
Feeling the immense force transmitted through the Ninja Blade, Aokawa took the opportunity to pull back.
When he reappeared, his Ninja Blade had turned back into the Spirit Bow, and he fired a continuous stream of arrows at Nii Yugito.
Shirakumo Hayama also charged in from the flank, his blade light aiming straight for Nii Yugito's heart from behind.
The others below had become complete spectators; they couldn't participate in a battle of such high-speed movement and strikes.
Clang! Swish!
The three figures instantly turned into blurry afterimages, crossing and colliding at high speeds on the city wall.
For a time, golden light, blue light, and blade flashes flickered frequently above the city wall.
Aokawa constantly switched between being an ADC and a Warrior, while Shirakumo Hayama coordinated based on the Battlefield situation.
Nii Yugito fought two-on-one, getting hit occasionally, but she endured it all with her Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.
After dozens of lightning-fast exchanges, the three separated once more, facing off while panting heavily.
Nii Yugito looked at Aokawa, her cat-like pupils filled with uncertainty and surprise.
"This brat is so troublesome; no wonder Yoshikawa Iwa couldn't take him down for so long."
Aokawa's brow was furrowed. Dealing with ordinary Ninjas was more than easy for him now.
But against monster-level opponents, he still felt a bit inadequate.
Just then.
Nii Yugito suddenly turned her head to look into the distance, then glanced back at Aokawa, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.
"Brat, we'll meet again." Saying this, she leaped down from the high wall and vanished into the shadows.
Aokawa looked in the direction she had just been staring.
On the horizon, a tide of Chakra was approaching.
The Kumogakure Army had arrived!
Startled, he turned to look behind him, hoping for reinforcements.
But only the empty trees answered him.
He used Body Flicker to reach Uchiha Hachidai: "Lord Hachidai, the Kumogakure Army is already five kilometers away."
...Below the city wall.
Nii Yugito used Body Flicker to return to Yoshikawa Iwa's camp.
"Lady Yugito, can we attack now?" Yoshikawa Iwa hurriedly went to meet her.
Only upon getting closer did he notice that Nii Yugito's clothes were in tatters.
Although the Tailed Beast had helped heal her wounds, the torn clothes remained damaged.
Yoshikawa Iwa couldn't help but stare, his blood racing: "She's actually wearing nothing underneath!"
"The army has arrived, there's no time, you..." Nii Yugito was halfway through her sentence when she noticed Yoshikawa Iwa's gaze, and her anger was instantly ignited.
"What the hell are you looking at? With the enemy right in front of us, you still have the mind for this? Go look all you want after the war is over!"
"Now, get your people out of this area immediately, or face the consequences."
Although Yoshikawa Iwa didn't know what Nii Yugito was planning, seeing her fly into a rage, he immediately led his men away.
Watching the personnel withdraw, Nii Yugito shouted in her mind, "Matatabi!"
"Understood!"
