"Mizukage-sama!" the guards cried out worriedly, knowing full well that using Chakra could cause an explosion, yet still risking Tailed Beast transformation.
Once they saw that Yagura was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said admiringly, "As expected of Mizukage-sama!"
"How is this possible?" It was the first time the Xuanyuan Crowd had seen the Exploding Insect become ineffective on the spot, and they were caught somewhat off guard.
"Is this the power of a Jinchuriki?" Although surprised, the red-clad leader was still able to maintain composure. "Don't panic, the others can't use Ninjutsu. There are five of us against one!"
Zabuza rebuked the guards, "How long are you going to remain idle? As guards, yet allowing Mizukage-sama to desperately protect us, this is our shame!"
"Yes, Zabuza-sama!" The leader of the guard squad shouted, "Spread out, be ready to provide support at any time. Even if we can't use Chakra, we still have Swordsmanship!"
"Yes!" Filled with guilt, the guards drew their swords with renewed determination.
At this moment, Yagura, having entered Tailed Beast Form Two, had already pounced, his target directly on the red-clad leader.
The yellow-clad Xuanyuan disappeared into the green-clad one's shadow, while the blue-clad Xuanyuan's figure gradually became transparent and vanished from the spot.
The green-clad Xuanyuan rapidly formed hand seals and spat out a large fireball, hitting Yagura squarely in mid-air. "Did it work? What's this, the Mizukage isn't so great after all."
"Mizukage-sama!" The guards played their role as hype men well, fully expressing the tense atmosphere of the scene and their concern for Yagura.
"It's not that easy!" The red-clad leader adopted a defensive stance.
Sure enough, Yagura emerged from the flames unscathed and slapped the red-clad leader's chest with his palm.
The red-clad leader had been prepared for this, having heard that the Jinchuriki's strength increased greatly after Tailed Beast transformation, he specifically crossed his arms and attached a large amount of Chakra to defend against this palm.
A tremendous force was transmitted, and the red-clad leader felt as if he had not been struck by a palm, but rather by a large hammer swung down with full force. He hurriedly borrowed the force to retreat and create distance.
What he didn't expect was that something like coral suddenly emerged from the place he was hit, and quickly spread throughout his body, restricting his movements.
"What is this thing!" The red-clad leader struggled a few times, but found that the coral on his body was exceptionally sturdy and could not be broken free from at all.
Coral Palm, Yagura's unique control-type Ninjutsu. Itachi Uchiha praised it after being hit, and even Bee would have to kneel.
Yagura didn't stop moving, his tail swung out, forcing back the green-clad Xuanyuan who had just spat fire, and continued to rush towards the red-clad leader.
"Boss!" The purple-clad Xuanyuan noticed the boss's predicament and hurriedly stood in front, casting a Great Waterfall Technique.
But... was it a mistake to play with Water Release in front of the Mizukage, and moreover, the Mizukage who was the Three Tails Jinchuriki!
Yagura also used a Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, and with the blessing of Isobu's Chakra, it was more than five times thicker than the purple-clad Xuanyuan's.
That scene was like a household faucet facing a fire hose. This move could probably be distinguished from the ordinary Great Waterfall Technique and called Isobu Great Waterfall.
The Isobu Great Waterfall overwhelmed the purple-clad Xuanyuan's Water Release with a destructive force, and struck the purple-clad Xuanyuan hard.
The blue-clad Xuanyuan, who had been hiding with Earth Release, timely revealed his figure and took the red-clad leader away, while the purple-clad Xuanyuan was helplessly washed away by the water.
Yagura didn't want to give them a chance to help the red-clad leader break the coral and escape, so he ran over, wanting to take the opportunity to kill him.
But the yellow-clad Xuanyuan didn't know when he had emerged from the green-clad one's shadow, submerged into Yagura's shadow, and then re-emerged, holding a Kunai and stabbing upwards with all his might towards Yagura's chest.
Pfft! As expected, the Kunai hit, making a muffled sound, but—failed to penetrate the enemy's armor.
In the yellow-clad one's stunned gaze, the sharp Kunai was unable to break through that seemingly thin layer of Chakra membrane.
The defensive power of the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak was still very trustworthy, especially the Chakra Cloak of the Three Tails Isobu, who looked very resistant to beatings.
Yagura was completely unharmed, but the enormous force pushed him back several steps, and he once again lay prostrate on the ground, opening his mouth to condense a small Tailed Beast Ball.
"Hey, with that level of Chakra, getting hit would be fatal!" The red-clothed leader had a drop of cold sweat on his forehead.
At this moment, the blue-clothed Xuanyuan used Earth Release to harden his arms, and was helping his boss shatter the coral on his body with punch after punch.
The yellow-clothed one once again burrowed into the green-clothed one's shadow, and the green-clothed one spewed out a pillar of fire from the side, attempting to interfere with Yagura.
Yagura completely ignored it, and shot the Tailed Beast Ball towards the red-clothed leader's direction on his own.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart!"
The blue-clothed Xuanyuan decisively summoned a wall several times thicker than an ordinary Earth Flow Wall, and, still not feeling secure, picked up his boss, who had not fully recovered his mobility, and ran to the side.
The green-clothed one's pillar of fire struck Yagura, and Yagura's Tailed Beast Ball struck the rampart.
Yagura was overturned by the impact, but fortunately he wasn't a real turtle, and flipping over was easy.
But the rampart had already exploded with a loud bang, creating a large hole, and cracks spread around the opening, threatening to collapse the entire rampart at any moment.
Countless clods of earth flew out along the direction of the explosion's shockwave, and the blue-clothed and red-clothed ones behind the wall hadn't run too far before being affected by the explosion and flying out at the same time.
The good news was that the remaining coral on the red-clothed leader's body had completely shattered and fallen off, but the bad news was that both of them were injured.
The red-clothed leader spat out a mouthful of blood: "That flytrap bastard, what happened to the promised support?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the red Chakra cloak on Yagura's body rapidly disappeared, and at the same time, white, unknown substances grew on his body, enveloping his entire body.
"Mizukage-sama!" Zabuza, Mei Terumi, and the other Guards wanted to rush up and help, but white substances also grew on their bodies, making it difficult for them to move for a time.
"Damn it, what is this?" The Guards fell to the ground and struggled.
Yagura lowered his head and saw a familiar face growing out of the white substance: "This is that Zetsu from just now? Is it a delayed-trigger Ninjutsu? It can actually absorb Chakra!"
The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the green-clothed Xuanyuan saw an opportunity and immediately rushed up, planning to take down Yagura while he had the chance.
In the blink of an eye, the green-clothed one had already rushed in front of Yagura, and at the critical moment, Yagura revealed a smile.
A size 42 foot landed on the green-clothed Xuanyuan's face, kicking him flying backwards, even faster than when he came.
A Rasengan accurately hit the yellow-clothed Xuanyuan who had just emerged from the shadows, and the yellow-clothed Xuanyuan flew away spinning, quickly catching up with the green-clothed Xuanyuan who had left one step ahead.
Minato's handsome face came into Yagura's view, and he smiled lightly at Yagura: "Looks like I came at a bad time?"
Yagura returned a relieved smile: "No, you came at exactly the right time."
