At the crucial moment, Ai, who had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield, forced open Minato Namikaze's defenses with the help of Killer Bee, and then roared at Yugito:

"Quickly use your complete Tailed Beast Transformation! At worst, Bee and I will help you regain your senses after the battle!"

"Complete Tailed Beast Transformation... That's right! I still have this move!"

Upon hearing the words, Mu Ren was startled and revealed a somewhat delirious, bewildered expression.

This time, facing the blade that was closing in on her neck like lightning, Yugito made no further resistance, but instead calmed her mind.

"Two-Tails! I'll let you out!"

As soon as the wooden figure's consciousness entered the sealed space, she consciously released the suppression and said this impatiently.

To her surprise, the large cat, engulfed in eerie blue flames, showed no excitement upon hearing her words. Instead, it simply lay lazily on the ground, not even glancing at her.

"don't want."

"ah……?"

Why?

Upon hearing this, Yukito's body stiffened slightly. She was stunned for a moment, then frowned, tilted her head to one side unconsciously, and looked puzzled.

"..."

However, the beast remained lying motionless on the ground, completely ignoring the attack, with only its two dark blue, flame-like tails swaying gently.

The atmosphere in the space fell silent for a moment.

Seeing this, the wooden figure stood still for a long time before speaking again:

"Two-Tails, I know you're very dissatisfied with us, but now is not the time to be stubborn. While it's true that Kumogakure wants to use you, this is also an opportunity for you, right? Now that the Third Hokage isn't here, you have a very good chance of escaping, and such opportunities don't come often!"

  

She gradually calmed down and began to gently guide him.

Whether for the benefit of the village or for the expectations of her companions, Yukito absolutely cannot give up this opportunity. Moreover, the flow of time within the consciousness space is much slower than outside; if she were to go out, she would face certain death.

As soon as he finished speaking, Matataru glanced at her with his eyes darting around, and just when Yugito thought Matataru was already smitten, it coldly uttered three words.

"I refuse!"

"..."

Yukito's body trembled, her brows furrowed even more, her face contorted slightly, and she roared in utter bewilderment:

"Why?! You can use my five senses to observe that Uchiha, right? Only if you kill him can we continue to live! I can let you go, you can do whatever you want! Don't you want to live?! If I die, you'll die with me, right?!"

Yugito's bewildered roar echoed through the sealed space, while Taru watched her coldly. Only when the sound subsided and silence returned did it slowly rise, resting its head in front of Yugito, and speak coldly:

"Kill him?"

"Hmph!" The traveler sneered again and continued:

"Ignorant and shallow! You understand nothing! You have no idea what kind of being that is! You want me to go out and face him? I'd rather die here with you! At least in a few years I can be resurrected and still break free of the seal!"

"you……"

Yukito was speechless. She hadn't expected that Yutaka would be so resolute, willing to die here with her rather than fight for a chance to be free.

Of course, Yugito could also choose to break the seal and forcibly release Matatabi, but the leakage of the tailed beast's chakra takes time. The larger the chakra, the longer it takes. Especially when the tailed beast itself is unwilling, its speed and efficiency are not as good as the two working together. In this situation, there is simply no time.

"Why is that...?"

As Yugito spoke, she slumped down, completely powerless, and sat on the ground, her voice filled with a deep sense of helplessness.

She had already resigned herself to dying under the rampage of the tailed beast, but Matatabi, who had always longed for freedom, showed no intention of leaving. In fact, the usually polite Matatabi was now unusually cold. This complex feeling was even more powerless than despair.

"..."

As the traveler looked at Yukito's ashen face, his cold gaze softened slightly. He wanted to say something, but the image of that boy suddenly appeared in his mind.

After a moment of silence, it sighed, lay down, and slowly spoke in its cold, female voice:

"Yugito, we've known each other for nearly ten years. You are indeed the best Jinchuriki I've ever met, and our personalities are very compatible. But in the end, we are just a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast... That person is a special existence. Go out. I can't help you, and even if I were willing to help, it probably wouldn't make much difference."

"at last……"

"Farewell... Yugito..."

……

"Pfft!"

A flash of crimson lightning streaked across the sky, and a blonde girl's head was severed along with a torrent of blood. Her entire body then began to disintegrate!

"Whoosh!"

Mo let out a long breath and stood behind the wooden figure's corpse, brandishing his sword, Blood Shake. At the same time, his attention quickly shifted to the illusory panel.

Fire Release Proficiency +15.41%

Yang Escape Technique Proficiency +13.70%

Yin Escape Proficiency +11.32%

Unlock new abilities: Endless Life and Sky Piercing!

Mo could clearly sense that the chakra within his body was rapidly becoming stronger! At the same time, his eye power surged, and a faint tremor emanated from his eyes. Then, with the feedback from his eye power, the quality of his chakra was improved once again!

His body also changed instantly. His body grew slightly taller, and his muscles became fuller and firmer. Mo could even feel the vast life force surging within him!

Even so, he did not show any joy; instead, he frowned.

No, these are tailed beasts! The proficiency that two tailed beasts and Yugito herself can provide cannot possibly be this little bit!

Aside from the fact that Fire Release might have suffered further attenuation due to proficiency exceeding the 50 mark, the increase in proficiency for Yang Release and Yin Release, even if it reached the 20% attenuation level, should be more than that!

But this data now seems... too much if it was provided by Muren, and too little if it was provided by Matatabi...

"Is it because I didn't kill Matatabi myself, but only died because I was implicated by the Jinchūriki?"

Mo looked at the timid and fearful Cloud Ninjas around him, swallowing hard, and slightly raised the Futsu-no-Mitama in his hand.

"But if that's the reason, I shouldn't have been able to gain proficiency. There have been instances where people have indirectly died because of my killings before..."

Upon seeing Mo's expression, the Cloud Ninjas all trembled and quickly retreated several steps, tightening their grip on their ninja swords, but none of them dared to step forward.

"Never mind, I'll find out after I kill another tailed beast..."

Mo shook his head and stopped thinking about it once the Yunren began to withdraw their troops.
