People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Mabui asked incredulously, "How is this possible? We've dispatched a large number of ninjas, including many Jonin, so why can't we handle two people?!"

“We suspect they are immortal because even if they are hit in a vital spot, it has no effect on them.”

Mabui's expression was conflicted. After some thought, he said, "Our Hidden Cloud Village must remain stable now. We cannot put pressure on Lord Raikage who has gone to the front lines. We must go to the Hidden Cloud Gorge and ask Lord Hidden Cloud for help!"

Hidan and Osamu wreak havoc in Kumogakure. Meanwhile, Zetsu and Tobi are searching for the tailed beasts.

"Obito..."

Before Zetsu could finish speaking, Obito's eyes flashed with horror as he warned, "Zetsu, I've already told you, call me Tobi from now on!"

Jue chuckled awkwardly and said, "I know, you really are cautious."

Obito, disguised as Tobi, said coldly, "My identity cannot be known to anyone now. Nagato has begun to suspect my identity, so I must keep it well hidden. Without any evidence, he can't do anything to me."

Zetsu nodded and continued, "I have located the tailed beasts, but I haven't found the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, only the Two-Tails Jinchuriki."

Obito frowned: "Could it be that the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki has also gone to the battlefield? Oh well, this is the first time the Akatsuki has targeted a ninja village to capture a Tailed Beast, so let's capture the Two-Tails first. Zetsu, notify them to assemble and capture the Two-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Zetsu notified Hidan and Osamu, who were fighting, as well as Kakuzu and Sasori, who were waiting, through spores.

A short while later, Kakuzu and Sasori were the first to reunite, while Hidan and Osamu, having shaken off the pursuing ninjas, also joined the others.

When Hidan saw Osamu again, he asked provocatively, "So, how about it? I killed nearly sixty people. How many did you kill?!"

Osamu had no intention of fighting Hidan; he was just being perfunctory. He casually remarked, "Not as many as you."

Hidan laughed maniacally: "As expected, as the most devout follower of the Jashin-sama, I am the strongest."

Obito, disguised as Tobi, spoke in a very frivolous tone: "Eh, are you two seniors having a match? You seem to be enjoying yourself."

Zetsu interrupted at the right moment, saying, "Alright, enough nonsense. Right now, Kumogakure only has the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and we haven't found any trace of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. So let's capture the Two-Tails for now, and then retreat after we succeed."

Kakuzu said somewhat impatiently, "Does one Two-Tails Jinchuriki really need six people?!"

Scorpion chimed in, "I hate waiting!"

Zetsu warned, "Don't let your guard down. The Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki may return to provide support at any time. Let's attack together and finish this quickly!"

The six arrived at a house on the edge of Kumogakure, and a rather beautiful woman came out of it.

This woman was one of the Akatsuki's targets, Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Yugito looked at the six members of Akatsuki and sneered, "You're the guys who invaded Kumogakure, aren't you? You're really unlucky. You delivered yourselves to my door before I even had a chance to look for you."

Hidan impatiently picked at his ear: "You talk too much nonsense. The Jashin will be very satisfied if I sacrifice you to him!"

Hidan swung his Bloodstained Three-Moon Scythe at Yugito.

Tobi said incredulously, "Eh, it's really strange that Hidan-senpai would say that others talk too much nonsense."

Yugito dodged Hidan's attacks with agile movements and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Rat Jade!"

Yugito fired a blue, rat-shaped flame from his mouth, which sped toward Hidan.

Hidan dodged to the side, continuing to close in on Yugito without slowing down.

However, the blue flames suddenly dispersed into a large number of blue flame homing missiles, which struck Hidan in the back.

The impact of the blue flame homing missile caused Hidan to fall to the ground.

Hidan got up from the ground, glaring at Yugito in front of him with displeasure: "Ouch! I'm going to sacrifice you to the Jashin!"

Yugito's expression was solemn. He hadn't expected that Hidan, who had taken a direct hit from his own ninjutsu, would be completely unharmed.

Afei looked at the group standing there in confusion: "Hey, aren't we going to help? It looks like Mr. Hidan is going to get bullied."

Kakuzu scoffed, "Hidan is just playing around with that Yugito."

Scorpion moved his puppet body: "Too slow. I hate waiting. Let the battle end quickly."

The scorpion used its stinger on its back to remove the mask from its face and open the puppet's mouth.

"Hiryu Amber? Needle Eight Waves!"

Scorpion launched extremely high-density venomous needles and stingers from the mouth of his human puppet, striking Yugito at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The dense barrage of poisoned needles indiscriminately pierced Hidan and Yugito.

Chapter 230 Yukito is seriously injured, Killer Bee appears

Hidan was stung all over by Sasori's poisonous needles, while Yugito was entangled by Hidan and, despite trying his best to dodge, was still hit by several poisonous needles.

Hidan glared at Sasori with displeasure: "Hey, Sasori, you stung me!"

Scorpion said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you're not going to die."

The deadly poison on the needle entered Yugito's body. Yugito felt his body's cells being severely damaged, and he became weak. He knelt on one knee and spat out a mouthful of blood.

As part of the atmosphere-building group, Tobi clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Sasori-senpai succeeded! It seems Sasori-senpai is much more powerful than Hidan-senpai!"

Upon hearing this, Hidan was so angry he jumped up and down: "Hidan, you bastard! I'm much stronger than Sasori!"

Hidan and Tobi were bantering, but Yugito was feeling quite uncomfortable.

In order to stop the toxins from continuing to damage the body's cells, Yugito voluntarily enters the Tailed Beast state.

Sasori looked curiously at Yugito in her tailed beast form. "Is this a specialty of Kumogakure, a perfect Jinchuriki who can perfectly control a tailed beast...?"

Yugito, now fully transformed into a tailed beast, spat a fiercely burning fireball at Sasori.

The scorpion swung its stinger at the fireball, knocking it aside. The burning flames then ignited the surrounding buildings.

Yugito raised his head and roared, as countless chakra gathered in his mouth to form a Tailed Beast Ball.

Meanwhile, Hidan and Tobi's argument had ended, and Hidan said to Tobi, "Watch closely, newcomer, my true power is about to be revealed!"

Hidan ran his fingers across the mud on the ground, where the wooden doll had stained with blood, and licked the blood from his fingertips into his body.

Hidan then drew a circle and a triangle formation on the ground and stood in it.

Hidan's skin instantly turned pitch black, and white lines appeared on it.

"You are now cursed! The ritual begins. Come, experience the ultimate pain with me!"

Hidan pulled out a long spear that could extend and retract at will, and plunged it into his abdomen.

Yugito, in his tailed beast form, staggered, a wound appearing on his abdomen. The tailed beast ball that had just formed in his mouth exploded automatically due to loss of control, and Yugito was thrown away by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Hidan laughed maniacally, "If it were a vital organ, it wouldn't be this intense! But this kind of pain is the best. The pain of someone dying is etched into my body! It transcends pain and ultimately transforms into pleasure!"

"Where would you like to experience pain next? Here? Or here?"

Hidan drew his spear and excitedly gestured it around his body.

Zetsu warned, "Hidan, don't kill the Jinchuriki. When the Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast inside him will also die. It will take a long time for the Tailed Beast to revive. Don't waste time."

Hidan said impatiently, "I know, you're so annoying! In that case, let's cripple her arms and legs!"

Hidan excitedly pierced his own limbs with his spear, and Yugito's limbs were also wounded. He fell to the ground, and his tailed beast cloak was completely removed.

"Hidan-senpai is amazing!" Tobi seized the opportunity to flatter Hidan.

"Is this all the Jinchuriki's strength is? That's disappointing." Hidan listlessly hoisted the Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe and returned to the group.

Zetsu explained, "After all, it's only the Two-Tails. Although the strength of a Tailed Beast isn't determined by the number of its tails, the Two-Tails is still the weakest among them."

Sasori used his stinger to lift up the heavily injured Yugito and said coldly, "Since the Eight-Tails isn't in Kumogakure, then leave."

Just as the six were about to leave, a giant octopus tentacle descended from the sky, blocking their path.

"Idiots! Bastards! Yeah! Ah! The battle has begun, and you will all perish here!"

A poorly written rap started, the octopus tentacles disappeared, and a dark-skinned man with light yellow hair and black sunglasses appeared on the scene.

"Oh? Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki... How lucky."

Kakuzu's eyes lit up. Although the special nature of a Jinchuriki meant he couldn't be killed immediately, after the Tailed Beast was extracted, Killer Bee's body, who was the Fourth Raikage's partner and sworn brother, could fetch a good price on the black market.

Corner couldn't wait to unbutton the Akatsuki's coat, revealing a body covered in stitched scars and four masks on his back.

With the secret technique of Earth Grudge Fear, Kakuzu's body twisted continuously, the black lines on his body gradually broke apart, and the mask even detached from Kakuzu's body, forming four independent Earth Grudge Fear individuals with different shapes.

Afei exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Kakuzu-senpai is really full of energy!"

"Wind Release: Crush!"

A high-pressure wind ball was released from the mouth of the Earth Grudge? Wind Release Masked Monster and swept towards Killer Bee. The storm that formed a vortex exploded over a wide area, and its power was so great that it leveled all the surrounding buildings.

Mabui, who was in the Raikage's office, was shocked to learn that Yugito had been defeated and that Killer Bee had arrived at the scene and was currently fighting.

Since only a short time has passed, Yugito, a Jonin and Jinchuriki, has already been defeated. Just how strong must those guys who invaded Kumogakure be?

Mabui immediately realized that these people's purpose in invading Kumogakure must be for the Jinchūriki, because the immortal duo who were causing havoc in Kumogakure at the time suddenly left, and then not long after, news came that Yugito had been defeated.

Therefore, it is clear that destroying Kumogakure was just a pretext; the real purpose was to locate the Jinchūriki.

Now that the enemy's numbers have increased to six, Mabui's expression turned grave; he had to inform the Raikage immediately.

Mabu-i immediately recorded the events that had occurred in Kumogakure on a scroll.

After completing the hand seals with his hands, the man in linen robes pressed them onto the scroll.

"Ninja Art? Heavenly Delivery Technique!"

The scroll vanished instantly.

The Ninja Art: Heavenly Delivery Technique is a space-time ninjutsu that is unaffected by any conditions or regions, and can teleport any object to any location at the speed of light.

This is why Mabui stayed behind in Kumogakure, precisely to prevent such an unexpected situation from occurring.

However, the Heavenly Transfer Technique is mainly used to teleport objects rather than humans. Ordinary people would die because they could not keep up with the teleportation speed, resulting in their bodies being torn to pieces. Only the former Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage, who inherited the bloodline of the Third Raikage, could withstand this teleportation technique.

The Fourth Raikage, A, who had just arrived at the front lines and taken over command, preparing to launch a major offensive as Kirigakure began its war, received a scroll from a man in a linen robe.

Upon opening the scroll, the enraged Raikage Ai punched a nearby tree, causing it to fall to the ground.

Ray Shadow Ai roared angrily, "How dare these bastards!"

After venting his anger, Raikage A calmed down: "Darui, you take a portion of the ninjas and stay here. The rest of you come back to Kumogakure with me!"
