Chapter 160 – Clash of Jinchūriki
"Roar!!"
Moments later, a thunderous roar shook the heavens.
An overwhelming burst of chakra surged from Yugito Nii's body as a vivid blue chakra cloak with cat-like patterns enveloped her. Her hair bristled, her eyes turned pure white—and in the blink of an eye, she entered a full Tailed Beast Transformation state.
Boom!!
The instant Yugito completed her transformation into the Two-Tails, Matatabi, a seismic tremor spread across Takigakure. The raw pressure of Tailed Beast Chakra was so overwhelming that visible cracks appeared in the plaza's ground, spreading outward like a spiderweb.
> "Th-That's… that's Tailed Beast Chakra?!"
"Kumogakure actually sent their Two-Tails Jinchūriki here?! This is outrageous!"
"What now? She's fully transformed—it's terrifying!"
The panicked voices of Takigakure's shinobi echoed in every direction. Some were rooted to the spot in shock—others had already collapsed, paralyzed by fear.
Takigakure was, after all, just a small hidden village.
How could they ever have expected to face such a terrifying opponent?
> "Where is our Seven-Tails Jinchūriki—Fū?!"
At the heart of the square, Shibuki, the young leader of Takigakure, stood protected by several elite guards. His expression was dazed, and a deep sense of despair crept across his face.
If they were only up against normal Kumogakure ninja, he would be willing to risk everything—drinking the Hero Water if necessary, even at the cost of his life.
But facing the fully-transformed Two-Tails?
There was nothing he could do. Even dying with honor seemed like a fool's dream.
> "Seven-Tails Jinchūriki… why haven't you appeared yet?!"
"Hiss..."
Yugito, now fully in her Matatabi form, let out a feline snarl as she stared down at Shibuki. Her sharp fangs bared, the threat of attack hanging in the air like a sword on a thread.
> "Hahaha! Surrender now, Takigakure!"
> "Yugito-sama is absolutely unstoppable. The perfect Two-Tails Jinchūriki!"
> "Takigakure is finished. Unless the Seven-Tails appears, this battle is over."
Kumogakure's shinobi stood relaxed at the edge of the square, enjoying the spectacle. Their expressions were cold and full of mockery.
What suspense remained?
The moment Yugito entered full Tailed Beast Mode, the battle had effectively ended.
> "Still no sign of your Jinchūriki?"
> "Fire Rat Jade!!"
Suddenly, Yugito let out a sharp cry.
A rat-shaped flame burst from her mouth.
Swish—swish—swish—!!
The blue fire scattered, transforming into dozens of blazing blue flame missiles—each one homing in on Takigakure's defenders with incredible speed.
> "It's over..."
"We're going to die…"
The Takigakure shinobi in the plaza stared in terror. Even Shibuki couldn't help but tremble.
"Why must it come to this?"
A soft, slightly exasperated voice rang out.
In a blur of chakra, a young woman with short green-blue hair and iridescent butterfly-like wings descended into the square.
Voom!!
Another fierce chakra wave rippled out.
She had entered her full Tailed Beast Mode without hesitation.
This was Fū, the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki.
Her body was covered in a glowing, dark red chakra cloak. Without waiting, she spread her arms and took the full force of Yugito's incoming flame barrage.
BOOM—!!!
The explosion that followed was catastrophic.
Blue fire collided with red chakra in a deafening eruption. A massive shockwave swept outward, hurling dozens of Takigakure shinobi backward. Cracks split the square deeper, forming a jagged crater at the center.
The entire village trembled under the blast.
Terrifying.
Seconds passed… then ten… then thirty…
Finally, the dust began to settle. The chaos quieted. Rubble covered the square. Shinobi lay strewn about, wounded but alive.
Standing in the center were two titanic chakra beasts:
The fully transformed Matatabi…
And beside her, a glowing beetle-like figure with six wings and a long tail: Chōmei, the Seven-Tails.
> "Heh…"
"So you've finally shown yourself," Yugito growled, her feline eyes narrowed.
> "Sigh... I didn't want to fight," Fū replied with a frown, her voice echoing slightly in her transformed state. "But your Kumogakure is too arrogant—treating Takigakure like it's nothing."
> "Arrogant?" Yugito sneered. "We are Kumogakure shinobi. Why should we care about your weak little village?"
> "You—!"
BOOM!!
Before she could finish, Fū let out a furious cry. Her chakra surged, unleashing a shockwave of energy from her insectoid form.
> "Good…!!"
Yugito's pupils contracted in excitement. She wasn't angry—in fact, she looked thrilled. The real battle was about to begin.
> "Fall back!"
"Everyone, retreat—now!!"
"Let the Jinchūriki handle this!"
The Kumogakure shinobi, led by Mabuyi, exchanged glances—and without another word, they all fell back rapidly.
They knew better than to interfere.
This was a battle between Tailed Beasts.
They had no place in it.
