Before Han could speak, a strange voice suddenly interrupted, "Ugh, you're so annoying. If you're brave enough, then go for it; if not, then get lost. Can you stop being so long-winded?"

"Who?"

"who?"

"Get out here!"

At this moment, Han, Qiu, and the others all showed expressions of surprise and astonishment. Then, the figures of a girl and a boy appeared in their sight.

"Ah, we're out." Wuyue smiled, looking around. "What are you planning to do?"

"Konoha ninjas?"

Why are you here?

"Damn it, are we being watched?"

The Iwa ninja didn't recognize Mugetsu's identity; they only noticed his headband.

"No, no." Wuyue waved her hand, clarifying, "There are only two Konoha ninja here, so don't worry." Her gaze then turned to Han. "The Five-Tails Jinchuriki, huh? What an unexpected bonus."

What's going on with this kid? Does he really know what a Jinchuriki is? And he can even show a look of joy on his face?

All the Iwa ninja looked bewildered. Kushina, however, raised an eyebrow and said, "You're planning to eat the Five-Tails too?"

"Hehe, Miss, you really understand me." Wuyue turned her face away, revealing a big smile. "I'm planning to collect all the tailed beasts and eat them. Maybe something unexpected will happen."

"What will you become, the Sage of Six Paths?" Kushina rolled her eyes and said, "With your current strength, you're about the same as that legendary person, aren't you?"

“No, it’s still quite far off.” Wuyue shook her head and said. “I guess we’ll have to wait a few more years.”

The two's seemingly oblivious conversation left the assembled Iwa ninja completely bewildered. Eating a tailed beast? The Sage of Six Paths? Even if it was meant to scare them, this was going too far!

"What are you all standing there for! Take them down first!" Qiu Yi waved his hand and shouted. "We absolutely cannot let them reveal that the Jinchūriki left the village!"

The Iwa ninja suddenly realized what was happening and drew their weapons, rushing towards Mugetsu and Kushina.

“Perfect timing, I want to test out my new technique.” With a smile, Mugetsu drew his Zanpakuto from behind his back. If you looked closely, you would see that the Zanpakuto was no longer the same as before. The hilt was dented with two curved, crescent-shaped notches, and the blade had snowflake-like patterns.

The cycle of reincarnation is severed, and the moon is obscured!

Mugetsu let out a soft murmur. The air near the blade began to ripple like water. Then, an invisible circle suddenly appeared, enveloping all the Iwa ninja.

Freeze!

The moment the circle appeared, everything within its embrace—the sprinting ninja, the swaying flowers and grass, even the billowing dust—was frozen in place.

274 Ability Beyond Imagination

What is this?

The scene before them was utterly bizarre! Both Kushina and Han, the onlookers, wore expressions of utter disbelief. What kind of ability could produce such an extraordinary effect?!

If Wuyue were to answer, he would definitely utter two words—time and space.

That's right, his Zanpakuto ability is a special power that combines and complements the abilities of time and space. The principle is to first create a secluded, hyperdimensional space, and then control the flow of time within that space.

This hyperdimensional space, while it could be described as another world, has not been separated from the main world, so it can be seen and observed with the naked eye.

Unlike bystanders, Mugetsu, as the owner of Oborozuki's Zanpakuto, also saw a huge golden hourglass above the barrier. That was the "Sands of Time." In simpler terms, it was the duration of his Zanpakuto's power.

This seems to be related to Mugetsu's spiritual pressure. Based on his current state, it's roughly around thirty seconds. Thirty seconds—in the midst of battle—is incredibly powerful! Enough to change the entire course of the battle!

Not to mention the special abilities Wuyue gained while in this space.

He stepped in and lightly touched one of the Iwa ninja. Visibly, the man's hair and beard instantly turned white, and his skin wrinkled, as if shrinking and collapsing rapidly. In the blink of an eye, a young man had become a frail, old man, leaving Kushina and Han speechless with astonishment.

Wu Yue wasn't surprised by this, or rather... he had already anticipated this effect. He extended his right index finger and pointed again.

The old man's appearance underwent another astonishing reversal, first reverting to his original age, then transforming into a teenager, and finally reverting to an infant. This was utterly mind-blowing!

"Not bad, this is what it feels like to control time." Wuyue's lips curled into a delighted smile. "Just like that little loli boasted. Only the duration is a bit short." Glancing at the sand that was almost completely leaking away, W lightly raised her hand and snapped her fingers. 彡

Splash!

All the surrounding Iwa ninjas turned to dust. Along with their clothes, it was as if they had never existed since Zhu appeared in this world.

At that moment, the spatial barrier surrounding Wuyue also disappeared. Time began to flow again.

“Now, it’s your turn.” Wuyue tilted her head, her gaze shifting to Han. “Ready?”

"Who are you? What kind of person are you?" Even as a Jinchūriki of a Tailed Beast, one would still feel fear and a chill run down one's spine when faced with such an unknown power.

"Whether you know it or not at this point makes no difference, does it?" Wuyue calmly sheathed her Zanpakuto and raised her fist. "Anyway, your fate is already sealed." With a bang, her entire body transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the opposite side.

This speed...

Han's pupils contracted, his body tilted to the right, and he extended his right fist.

thump.

The fists are crossed.

A sharp pain shot through Han's right arm, and he slid backward for dozens of meters before finally coming to a stop.

"Huh? You actually managed to barely block it?" Wu Yue blinked, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

Putting everything else aside, his taijutsu skills alone are enough to place him in the top three among those he has fought. As expected of the Five-Tails, who excels in taijutsu.

Han, however, was dozens of times more astonished than Han. This boy could actually withstand him, a human pillar of strength, with his bare hands! Not only that, he could even completely crush him! Was this really something a human could do?

"What are you thinking about?" In the blink of an eye, Wuyue's figure lunged forward again, appearing in front of him as if teleported. "Don't get distracted during the fight." She raised her foot and swept out with a whip kick.

Bang.

Han Kuiwu's burly body flew sideways like a kite with a broken string. After piercing through several towering trees, he embedded himself heavily in the nearby mountainside. With a crash, countless boulders buried his body. Dust billowed.

However, not long after, a deafening roar erupted. A gigantic creature with a single horn on its head suddenly burst out of the smoke and charged straight towards Wuyue.

Overall, this creature resembles a pure white unicorn. However, its cheeks and head are indeed flat and broad, somewhat like a dolphin. Its five tails are tucked together at its back. It is extremely fast, running like a white streak of light.

"It's finally here." Mugetsu was more pleased than surprised. Its pupils gradually turned blood red, and a layer of scales suddenly appeared on its body. It spread its arms and went straight to meet the Five-Tails charging towards it.

The Heavenly Dragon's Wing Strike!

scoff.

The air was torn apart as if by cloth, and a huge whirlwind arose under the influence of the immense force. Immediately afterwards, the wings of the wind dragon, solidified into a tangible form, appeared in mid-air and swept towards the five tails like razors.

Boom... Crack crack crack!

The moment they collided was like two meteorites colliding in space. A tremendous impact, like ripples spreading outwards, created a powerful shockwave.

275 Searching for Fat Sheep

Rumble.

Under the immense impact, the entire area began to shake violently, as if an earthquake had struck. Sand and stones flew everywhere, dust filled the air, and the surrounding vegetation and rocks were also severely impacted. They shattered, collapsed, and scattered into wood chips and stones.

Even Kushina, under the impact of the aftershocks of their fight, stumbled back several steps, a look of horror flashing in her bright eyes.

Although I had heard about the battle between Mugetsu and the Tailed Beasts before, and had also seen the Konoha Grand Tournament venue reduced to ruins, it was still just a concept. It was nothing compared to the shock of witnessing it firsthand.

When the dust settled, two wounds appeared on the neck of the Five-Tails. Clearly, it had been at a disadvantage in the previous exchange.

However, this injury was utterly insignificant to the tailed beast. With a roar to the sky, it raised its four hooves, assuming an attack stance.

"So stubborn?" Wu Yue grinned and said, "Trying to get revenge?"

The Jinchuriki, transformed into a tailed beast and entering a berserk state, naturally couldn't answer. A thin layer of blue mist rose from his body, covering him, and he charged towards Mugetsu once more.

Chi Chi Chi.

Wherever it passed, the soil was corroded, leaving a scorched mark as if it had been burned by high temperatures.

Is this Boiling Escape?

Wu Yue raised an eyebrow, tapped the ground with her right foot, and leaped into the air. She then kicked out in a counter-clockwise direction.

The Heavenly Dragon's Claw!

Swish.

A phantom image of a dragon claw suddenly appeared and slashed out at the body of the five-tailed dragon.

scoff.

The blue mist enveloping the Five-Tails' body was torn apart. But unexpectedly, it did not dissipate immediately, but instead spread around Mugetsu like a virus.

"This move can actually be used like this?" Wu Yue's face showed an unexpected expression. She landed back on the ground and clasped her hands together.

Wood escape·Wooden spindle wall!

Boom!

Two rows of wooden walls rose up, enveloping Wuyue. Although he managed to defend himself from the mist, the next moment, the Five-Tails' body slammed into him.

w咚.

~?·

A loud, muffled thud.

Splinters of wood flew everywhere, and Mugetsu was sent flying. Kushina's heart clenched at the sight.

However, halfway through, his body suddenly changed position, and he raised his left index and middle fingers together.

Ice Release: Frost Crystal Pillar!

Boom boom boom.

Six crystal-clear ice pillars rose up and quickly closed in, enveloping the Five-Tailed Fox. Visibly, the points where the ice pillars converged began to fuse rapidly. Soon, they formed an ice shield entirely of solidified ice, trapping the Five-Tailed Fox within.

Of course, that's not all.

After trapping his opponent, Wuyue formed hand seals again and spat out a ball of chakra from his mouth. Yes, it was a Tailed Beast Ball. But after Wuyue infused it with Lava Release chakra, the entire chakra ball instantly turned dark red, as if it were enveloped in layers of magma.

hum.

The dark red chakra ball shook rapidly, as if it were being inflated, and began to expand quickly.

Wuyue pointed a finger with one hand, the tip pointing directly at the ice shield. As if receiving a command, the chakra flew away.

Rumble.

With a deafening roar, lava mixed with ice fragments exploded. A massive mushroom cloud rose into the air.

Awoo.
