After speaking, the man waved to Uchiha Kakuyama and the other man, then turned and left without hesitation.
For some reason, the person's back view seemed somewhat desolate.
Yugito, standing nearby, glanced at the man's retreating figure and asked with some confusion:
"Kyuu-kun, who is this person? He seems to know you well. Is he also from your Uchiha clan?"
Hearing Yugito's words, Uchiha Kakuzan swept her up in his arms, pulling her into his embrace amidst her soft cry. Watching her departing figure, he remarked with a touch of melancholy:
"He is a pitiful man who wanted to save his people's fate but was powerless to do so. Alright, let's not talk about him anymore."
Now, would you like to come with me to take a look inside Yunlei Gorge?
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words, a flicker of panic crossed Yugito's eyes, but she still nodded and said:
"Well, I've been to Yunlei Gorge a few times, so I'm quite familiar with it. Today, I'll accompany Lord Qiu to take a look inside."
Yukito knew perfectly well that Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was currently training in the Cloud Thunder Gorge. If she were to accompany Qiushan-jun there, and Qiushan-jun's target was Killer Bee, then she would completely break with the Hidden Cloud Village.
However, this thought only lingered in Yukito's mind before she extinguished it.
Because she knew very well that she had already sided with Qiu Shanjun, and everything in Kumogakure was no longer her concern. Her choice was already obvious.
Hearing Yugito's words, Uchiha Kakuzan turned to look at her. After seeing her expression, he nodded, took Yugito's hand, and they walked together toward the Cloud Thunder Gorge not far away.
However, just as Uchiha Kakuzan was about to enter the canyon with Yugito by the hand, they suddenly heard a very clear and cold voice.
"Halt! This is a forbidden area of Kumogakure. If you take another step forward, you will be making an enemy of Kumogakure."
Chapter 505: Subjugating Samui
As the sound rang out, Uchiha Kakuyama and Yugito both turned their gazes toward the direction from which the sound came.
On a high platform in front of them stood a beautiful female ninja with short, light yellow hair.
This beautiful ninja is dressed in the ninja attire of the Hidden Cloud Village, with a short sword slung across her back. She has blue-green eyes and a delicate, pretty face, but her expression is somewhat indifferent.
Most importantly, she has snow-white skin unlike any other ninja from Kumogakure, and in front of her is a lightning bolt that rivals Tsunade's, making her appear even more arrogant and superior.
When Uchiha Kakuzan saw this person, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Although he had never seen this person before, he could easily guess his identity from his appearance and attire.
Samui, a Jonin of Kumogakure and a disciple of Killer Bee in swordsmanship.
At that moment, Yugito, who was traveling with Uchiha Kakuzan, also recognized Samui's identity.
Yugito gently released Uchiha Kakuzan's hand, took two steps forward, and then spoke:
"Samui, it's been a long time!"
Upon hearing Yugito's words, Samui was slightly taken aback. After carefully examining Yugito, she exclaimed in shock:
"Lord Yukito, you're finally back."
In fact, with Samui's keen eyesight, he would have discovered Yugito's identity long ago.
However, because Yugito had already changed into her usual clothes and her demeanor was no longer as cold as before, Samui did not recognize her at first.
Upon hearing the address "Sami," a look of bewilderment flashed across Yukito's eyes, before he nodded and said:
“Samyi, I have important business to attend to in Yunlei Gorge. You don’t need to block my way.”
However, after hearing Yugito's words, Samui hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and refusing:
"I'm sorry, Lady Yugito, but the Raikage revoked your privileges after you disappeared."
Moreover, Killer Bee is currently training in the Thundercloud Gorge, and no one except the Raikage is allowed to enter.
Hearing Samui's refusal, Yugito wasn't angry. Instead, he nodded knowingly, retreated to Uchiha Kakuzan's side, and whispered:
"Akiyama-kun, this Samui is a Jonin from Kumogakure and one of Killer Bee's swordsmanship disciples. He knows a lot about Kumogakure, which will be of great help to Akiyama-kun in conquering Kumogakure in the future."
Therefore, I suggest that Mr. Qiu bring her under his command.
Meanwhile, Samui, standing on the high platform, saw Lord Yukito leave and then whisper to another mysterious person. Although she didn't hear what they were saying, a sense of unease rose in Samui's heart.
Samui knew very well that although she possessed the strength of a Jonin, she would be no match for the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, Yugito.
Moreover, there was another mysterious person beside Yugito, and judging from Yugito's posture, she seemed to be in charge of that mysterious person.
In the world of ninjas, strength is generally respected, so the mysterious person's strength is very likely to be even greater than that of Lady Yugito.
Moreover, Lady Yukito, who had been missing for a long time, had just reappeared in front of this Cloud Thunder Gorge, and there was an even more powerful person beside her.
Samui would never believe that their target wasn't her teacher—the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
Thinking of this, Samui's expression remained unchanged, but his right hand quietly reached for his ninja tool pouch.
However, while Samui's little tricks could fool Yugito, they couldn't fool Uchiha Kakuzan at all.
So, just as Samui made a move, Uchiha Kakuzan looked up at her and said calmly:
"what are you doing?"
Samui hadn't expected that his tiny movement would be noticed by the mysterious person opposite him.
After a moment of shock, a resolute glint flashed in Samui's eyes, and her right hand quickly reached into her mannequin bag. She wanted to send a warning signal before the two intruders could react.
Unfortunately, just as Samui's hand touched the signal flare in his ninja tool pouch,
Uchiha Kakuzan, however, had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and directly used his long-unused eye technique.
"Kaleidoscope Sharingan - Kotoamatsukami".
With a soft shout from Uchiha Kakuzan, a powerful mental force instantly invaded Samui's mental world, directly changing her most loyal object to himself.
Samui, after being affected by the eye technique, was slightly taken aback. She immediately noticed Uchiha Kakuyama in front of her, jumped down from the platform, knelt down in front of him, and respectfully bowed her head, saying:
"Lord Uchiha Kakuzan, Samui greets you."
Uchiha Kakuzan had anticipated Samui's reaction. Looking at the outstanding female ninja before him, he nodded with satisfaction and asked:
"Samui, is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in this Cloud Thunder Gorge?"
After hearing Uchiha Kakuyama's words, Samui replied in a cool tone:
"Reporting to you, sir, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, entered this Cloud Thunder Gorge a month ago to train for the Tailed Beast Ball."
Although I didn't see Killer Bee, judging from the commotion inside, he should still be training there.
The Tailed Beast Ball is the most powerful attack of the Tailed Beasts; each shot is roughly equivalent to a massive cannonball.
Therefore, even though Samui hasn't seen the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki recently, he can still judge his condition by the sounds coming from inside.
In fact, this is precisely why the Raikage sent Samui over.
Because Samui is not only knowledgeable, but also calm and vigilant in his actions, remaining composed in any situation.
The Raikage sent Samui not only to protect the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, but also to keep an eye on him and prevent the overly lively and active Killer Bee from running around.
Upon hearing Samui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan nodded in satisfaction and then said to Yugito beside him:
"Alright, now that we've found the person in question, I can go in by myself. You and Samui wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."
After Uchiha Kakuyama finished speaking, he floated up and flew quickly into the Cloud Thunder Gorge.
Chapter 506 The Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki
Watching Uchiha Kakuyama fly away at high speed, Samui's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Finally, she turned her gaze to Yugito beside her, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke:
"Lord Yugito, you disappeared during the previous attack on Kumogakure. Were you following Lord Uchiha Kakuzan?"
Yugito naturally knew what Samui meant, but since Samui was now considered one of their own, he didn't hide anything and nodded, saying:
"That's right, I met Qiu Shan-jun during that incident, and I've followed him ever since. He's been very good to me..."
At this point, Yugito unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, and a blush appeared on her usually reserved and noble face.
Upon hearing Yukito's words, Samui nodded thoughtfully.
After she was captured by Uchiha Kakuzan using his eye technique, although her allegiance changed to Uchiha Kakuzan, her intelligence remained unchanged. After hearing Yugito's words, she realized that Yugito, like herself, had had her mind altered.
Otherwise, Yugito, as the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, and having grown up in the village since childhood, would never have betrayed Kumogakure so easily.
Thinking of this, Samui also recalled the Mangekyou Sharingan in Uchiha Kagakuzan's eyes. As a renowned person in Kumogakure with a prodigious memory,
At this moment, she realized that what she had been implanted with was a type of eye technique from the Mangekyou Sharingan, and that the terrifying power of this technique was far beyond her ability to resist.
Thinking of this, Samui felt a sudden sense of powerlessness.
Because in her heart, she now regarded Uchiha Kakuzan as the most important person in her life, and her goal in life was to share the burdens of Lord Uchiha Kakuzan.
When the time comes, even if it means sacrificing myself, I will ensure Lord Qiushan's safety.
Thinking of this, Samui suddenly remembered Uchiha Kakuyama's goal and was startled.
It should be noted that the person cultivating in this Cloud Thunder Gorge at this moment is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
Even without considering the eight tails within him, this Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is an extremely formidable powerhouse. His strength is among the best in the entire Hidden Cloud Village, with only the Raikage able to surpass him.
According to Samui's understanding, Killer Bee, who can be considered a perfect Jinchūriki, has an incredibly strong resistance to genjutsu.
The eye technique that Lord Uchiha Kakuzan just used on her can ultimately be considered a kind of illusion.
Thinking of this, Samui could no longer remain silent. A rare look of anxiety appeared on her usually delicate face as she looked at Yugito beside her and said:
"Lord Yugito, you should be aware of Killer Bee's strength. Will Lord Uchiha Kakuzan encounter any danger if he goes in alone?"
Upon hearing Samui's words, Yukito showed no sign of anxiety.
Samui didn't know Qiu Shanjun's strength, but how could she not? After a slight smile, she comforted him:
"Samui, don't worry. Qiushan-kun's strength is far beyond your imagination. Even if the former ninja world's Asura, Uchiha Madara, were alive, he might not be able to defeat Qiushan-kun. So, what we need to do now is to quietly wait for Qiushan-kun's triumphant return."
Samui hadn't expected Yukito to have such a high opinion of Qiushan-kun.
It should be noted that Yugito is a high-end combatant of Kumogakure—the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails. Although his strength may not be as great as that of the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails or the Raikage, his vision is quite impressive.
Since Lord Qiushan received such high praise from her, it must mean that Lord Qiushan must be very strong.
With this in mind, Samui was able to put aside his worries and gazed at the Cloud Thunder Gorge not far away with Yukito.
Within Yunlei Gorge
"Yo, yo, you devil, let's try out our ultimate move one last time."
In a flat area within the Cloud Thunder Gorge, Killer Bee, now fully transformed into his Eight-Tails form, was humming a strange tune, conversing with the Gyuki within his body.
Upon hearing his words, the bull demon glanced at him helplessly and said:
"As you wish."
Upon hearing the demon's response, Killer Bee immediately became excited and shouted:
"Oh, next up is..."
Ultimate move--
"Continuous Tailed Beast Balls!!"
As soon as Killer Bee finished speaking, he manipulated the Eight-Tails' mouth, which opened towards the sky.
As soon as he opened his mouth, countless chakra began to gather from the sky, eventually forming a black chakra ball.
"Yo, all ready, begin, begin!"
As soon as Killer Bee thought of it, the Eight-Tails immediately bit down on the chakra ball.
However, for some unknown reason, just as the Eight-Tails bit into the chakra ball, the entire chakra ball immediately collapsed.
"Bang~"
As the Eight-Tails closed its mouth, the collapsed chakra ball simply made a muffled sound before exploding inside its mouth.
Unfortunately, the explosion of this chakra ball was very weak. It only shook Tomoe's mouth slightly and emitted a wisp of black smoke before disappearing completely.
呲~
With a hiss, Killer Bee, controlling the Eight-Tails, awkwardly exhaled two puffs of black smoke before speaking:
"Ultimate move, failed, failed. Killer Bee, so sad."
Upon hearing Killer Bee's voice, the demon that had been dwelling within his consciousness said:
"Bi, is it because the proportions of the Tailed Beast Ball you just mixed were wrong? Otherwise, why is the power so weak?"
Upon hearing the Ox-Demon's voice, Killer Bee scratched his head in frustration and said:
"The proportions are wrong, you idiot, Eight-Tails..."
