In Ayane's surprised gaze, Yuimon's expression became even more cautious.
The air was filled with an incredibly dangerous atmosphere, a feeling of ominous oppression. A few years ago, Ayane experienced something similar.
That was when she faced the rampage of Hidden Sand's One-tailed Shukaku.
An identical oppressive atmosphere.
"You couldn't be…"
Ayane widened her eyes, seemingly guessing Yuimon's true identity.
No wonder someone so obscure yet possessing such formidable strength could keep up with her Instantaneous Body Jutsu; the other party was one of Hidden Cloud's two Jinchuriki.
Only to see that Yuimon's body began to burn with azure Chakra flames, which then completely engulfed his body, quickly growing and expanding, forming the shape of a giant monster.
The suffocating sense of oppression descended like a quagmire.
This was just the commotion caused by leaked Chakra.
The sea water anxiously beat against the rocks, raising foamy sprays.
It was a giant cat-like beast as big as a mountain, surrounded by blue Chakra flames.
Two tails swayed behind, and around him, Hidden Cloud Village Ninja tactically retreated, leaving Yuimon enough space to act.
"Two-tails, huh? A bit of a miscalculation, I didn't expect you to be a Perfect Jinchuriki."
Ayane sighed lightly; she couldn't tell if this luck was good or bad.
"No, it's far from perfect. If I were to appear in Complete Form, the size would be even larger. As for this size, I'm managing it with great difficulty; perhaps I lack talent in this aspect."
Yuimon's voice came from the mouth of the cat monster.
"How honest you are."
Ayane chuckled.
She had heard early on that Hidden Cloud Village possessed the most refined Jinchuriki training methods in the Ninja Realm. Originally, Ayane sneered at them, thinking that the intense hatred and will on a Tailed Beast would never allow harmonious coexistence with humans.
Looking at it now, she was somewhat ignorant.
Yuimon controlled the massive body of Two-tails Matatabi to charge forward.
The ground trembled loudly.
Even though it was still daylight, with not a cloud blocking the sky, even the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja had to wipe cold sweat from their chins.
The momentum and power were exaggerated.
Ayane began to sprint backward; being entangled by a Tailed Beast was troublesome.
She was different from the deceased Third Raikage; she didn't have the power to sustain brutal melee combat with a Tailed Beast.
The Jinchuriki controlling the Two-tails immediately opened its giant mouth, and a large fireball shot forth, heating the air along its path; the shallow waters it passed over transformed into steam and vanished.
"Are you planning to corner me into a dead end like this?"
Ayane constantly stepped on the rocks, appearing to flee in a panicked manner.
After all, it was difficult to deal with a Tailed Beast while injured. Especially with a large number of Hidden Cloud Village Ninja watching with covetous eyes, considering these factors, she could only dodge while thinking of a countermeasure.
"Looks like I didn't check today's almanac before heading out."
Ayane used this to express her unfortunate day.
"Don't think about escaping!"
A large number of Hidden Cloud Village Ninja surrounded her.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bomb Jutsu!"
Sea water churned, the water dragon forming from the ocean, diving down from above.
Ayane leapt into the air, avoiding the water dragon's attack range, the water splashing onto her body and hair.
A large claw wrapped in blue Chakra flames came from behind.
It was the forelimb of Two-tails.
Ayane's gaze slanted slightly backward, and in the incredulous eyes of the crowd, she turned with a slender palm pressed against the giant paw of Two-tails.
"Divine Sky Strike!"
Responding with a fiercer force.
Two-tails crashed heavily to the ground, especially the forelimb directly hit by Divine Sky Strike, twisted and deformed.
Two-tails let out a painful scream from its mouth, causing the Hidden Cloud Village Ninja's offensive to pause.
The paw extended toward Ayane shattered, scattering into many white fragments.
Ayane effortlessly caught a few white paw fragments in mid-air, then turned to leave.
She hid in a place surrounded by rocks.
Ayane looked at the white paw fragments in her hand, containing Two-tails' Chakra; if taken back, they should have significant research value.
Having ventured out with great difficulty, she couldn't return empty-handed.
Speaking of having the instinctive good habit of opportunistic collection on the battlefield, she learned from that man.
"Too bad the Eight-tails isn't here; otherwise, I could have octopus balls when I return."
Ayane put Two-tails' paw fragments into her bosom, carefully preserving them.
Even the slightest bit of Tailed Beast Chakra has extremely high research value. Not to mention the solidified paw fragments; they are a crystallized manifestation of high-density Tailed Beast Chakra, exceeding the research value of Tailed Beast Chakra.
"It's about time to withdraw; Chakra is less than half remaining, and the body needs a good period of rest to recover. If I continue being tangled, it would be fatal."
The intimidation caused by the Divine Sky Strike couldn't last long, and the enemy comprised thousands of Hidden Cloud Village Ninja, along with a Jinchuriki who could control most of Two-tails' power, which frankly was severely unfavorable to her.
Thinking of this, Ayane decisively bit her finger, formed seals with her hands, and gently pressed against the rock wall.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Accompanied by white smoke, a pitch-black juvenile beast appeared, only slightly larger than an ordinary adult house cat.
It was Hakushi's Lighting Clone Black Beast, Raidenmaru.
"Where is this…"
Raidenmaru seemingly didn't understand the current situation.
