Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

However, there was still a rather vague concept: the tailed beasts were very strong, so strong that even a powerful figure like Yu Ming was afraid of them.

Samui knew how terrifying a tailed beast going berserk was, but she was somewhat surprised to see Yu Ming so excited.

This was completely different from the calm and rational Yu Ming she had seen before.

Actually, let alone Karui and Omoi, even Hinata and Shino didn't really have any concept of tailed beasts.

Of the students in Konoha's Yu Ming generation, only Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, besides Yu Ming himself, truly understood just how terrifying the Tailed Beasts were.

Samui looked calmly at Yuming and said, "So what do you want to do? Are you just going to give up on this mission because of this?"

Yu Ming shook his head and said calmly, "No, I just wanted you to know in advance how strong the Tailed Beasts are, so that you wouldn't offend them when they appear."

Samui looked at Karui and Omoi and asked, "Did you two hear that?"

Although the two still didn't understand the concept of tailed beasts, judging from Yu Ming's seriousness, they estimated that they were very strong.

So the two nodded, both feeling a certain awe towards the 280-tailed beast.

Yu Ming turned to Hinata and Shino and said, “Once you discover that the Three-Tails has been disturbed, you don’t need to worry about me or each other. Get away from it as quickly as possible. The Three-Tails is easy to recognize. It looks like a turtle, but strangely, it has three tails.”

"Kumakushi Village also has tailed beasts, including the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. The reason why Jinchuriki are so powerful is because they have a tailed beast inside them. The power of the tailed beasts is terrifying and can even easily destroy a country."

"A single strike can shatter several high mountains."

"Therefore, the tailed beasts are called the ultimate weapons of each village."

“Every time a tailed beast goes berserk, it causes extremely serious damage to the five great ninja villages. Not to mention you genin and chunin, even joinin die in battle every time.”

"So you'd better have this in mind."

Samui looked at Yu Ming with even greater respect, because such a thing was very difficult for a ninja of Yu Ming's age to master, especially since there had been no reports of the Nine-Tails of Konoha going berserk in recent years.

Yu Ming probably learned this information by consulting some materials.

And these documents are often the secrets of a village.

It's easy to imagine that Yu Ming's status in Konoha was definitely not that of an ordinary special Jonin.

Ninjas of Yu Ming's age generally cannot comprehend the terrifying nature of tailed beasts.

Karui and Omoi were stunned, then looked at Samui to ask if it was true.

Samui nodded. "Every time the tailed beasts of Kumogakure go berserk, it causes a lot of casualties, including Jonin. In fact, it's not just Kumogakure; Konoha, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure are all the same. Every time the tailed beasts go berserk, it causes a lot of casualties."

Karui and Omoi finally grasped the concept: the Tailed Beasts were catastrophic creatures.

Shino suddenly asked, "Since the Tailed Beasts are such terrifying creatures, why do the villages seal them inside humans? Wouldn't it be better to kill them?"

Neither Yu Ming nor Samui could answer this question.

The two exchanged a glance, and Yu Ming then turned to Shino and said, "Since the Tailed Beasts are a kind of calamity creature, it means that they have extremely powerful destructive power. What if this destructive power were used by the village?"

The group paused for a moment, then finally understood.

Seeing everyone deep in thought, Yu Ming said, "Alright, I'm just trying to give you a general idea. If the Three-Tails appears, never get entangled with them. Stay as far away as possible. Under the influence of the Tailed Beasts, the only thing you can do is to save as many people as possible."

Hearing even Yu Ming say such things, Hinata, Karui, and the others felt immense pressure.

Samui looked at Yu Ming and said, "This mission is very dangerous, and Konoha has only set it as an A-rank mission."

Yu Ming laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with our Konoha. It's just that the situation has changed."

If the initial request was simply to ask Yu Ming to eliminate the rogue ninja, Konoha would have set it as an A-rank mission, which wouldn't have been a problem. Of course, setting it as an S-rank mission would also have been acceptable.

However, given the current situation, which involves tailed beasts, it must be an S-class rank.

I estimate that it can be changed to an S-level mission after we get back.

Before leaving, Yu Ming looked at Samui and said, "Please lend me your hand."

Samui was taken aback.

Then he frowned.

She'd seen plenty of people like that. She was beautiful and had such a great figure, so naturally she had no shortage of suitors.

Clearly, she also regarded Yu Ming as that kind of person.

Samui's expression gradually turned cold.

Karui and Omoi didn't say anything, they just looked at Yu Ming with some amusement.

Seeing Samui's expression, Yu Ming knew she was overthinking things, so he explained, "Don't misunderstand, I just want to leave a mark on you so I can provide support when we actually encounter a Tailed Beast."

Seeing Yu Ming's calm demeanor, Samui thought for a moment and agreed.

She didn't detect any ill intent in Yu Ming's eyes.

Then he extended a hand.

Yu Ming didn't grasp her hand; he simply tapped the back of her hand with two fingers.

In an instant, the incantation for the Flying Thunder God Technique appeared on the back of Samui's hand.

Samyi paused for a moment, "What is this?"

Yu Ming didn't explain, but said, "It's a technique. If you need support, I can provide it quickly."

"Hopefully we won't need it."

Yu Ming said.

Samui didn't care. From the beginning, Yu Ming hadn't had any bad intentions towards her. It was she who had misunderstood Yu Ming.

However, Samui's personality is very aloof, which is the complete opposite of her passionate figure.

So naturally, they wouldn't say anything like "sorry."

After Yu Ming and Samui finished doing these things, they headed towards Akita's lair.

One must take a boat to reach an island.

The Three-Tailed Beast happens to inhabit that sea area, and it is currently in a free state.

As we sailed into the sea, the fog grew thicker and thicker.

Large marine creatures are occasionally spotted.

Fortunately, these creatures did not attack Yu Ming and his companions' ship.

Karui, Hinata, and the others watched in terror as sharks swam around in the ocean.

"Why are there so many sharks in this place? And they're so big, won't they attack us?"

Yu Ming and Samui stood on the deck, unsure whether the sharks swimming around the ship would attack them.

Yu Ming frowned.

The same applies to Samui.

Neither of them spoke.

Hinata stood beside Yu Ming, turned her head to look at him, and felt at ease as long as Yu Ming was by her side.

Ino was holding onto Yu Ming's arm, but her eyes couldn't help but look down.

Although Shino was also worried about this issue, he didn't show it, standing on the deck with a furrowed brow.

Chapter 165

Fortunately, the ship sailed smoothly to the island in the sea.

The island isn't very big; it's only about a kilometer long and wide.

The island was surrounded by thick fog.

As they reached the shore, Yu Ming smiled slightly. "It seems we've been discovered. It turns out they set up a barrier within this thick fog."

Samui, standing to the side, was taken aback.

He frowned. "We've been found out?"

Yu Ming looked up into the thick fog. The fog was so dense that visibility was only three or four meters.

However, Yu Ming's perception was too strong; although the fog was thick, it could not obscure his senses.

Looking at the thick fog around them, Samui frowned and said, "What do we do now? In this situation, we can't see the road at all."

Yu Ming glanced at Samui and laughed, "No need to look closely, they'll come back to us on their own."

"Didn't I just say that? We've been discovered."

Samui drew his short sword.

Omoi and Karui also drew their katana.

Yu Ming glanced at Shino, Ino, and Hinata. "Be careful, Hinata, activate your Byakugan."

"Shino, you can release your insects now."

"Ino, stay close to me."

Of the three, Ino was not a combatant at all.

She is a support-type ninja who needs to work with Choji and Shikamaru to be effective.

The three nodded.

Hinata activated her Byakugan and instantly spotted several ninjas stealthily approaching them.

"There is a ninja at the one o'clock position, and there is also a ninja at the eleven o'clock position."

Yu Ming sensed that they were two ninjas of considerable strength, and judging from their chakra levels, they were likely Chunin.

Yu Ming glanced at Shino.

Shino nodded.

Countless insects were released in the direction of one o'clock.

"Insect Jade".

Countless parasitic insects instantly surged toward the ninja at the one o'clock position.

Although both of these ninjas were from the Hidden Mist Village, they were able to sense the location of Yu Ming and the others.

However, the teachers and others failed to detect Shino's parasitic insect.
