Chapter 204: Didn't the Six-Tails inside you tell you not to seek death?
Chapter 204: Didn't the Six-Tails inside you tell you not to seek death?
Run! Run for your life!
White Waves hastily threw away the ninja pouch filled with kunai and shuriken, too scared to even glance at Huyi Xuan Yue as he bolted into the distance.
But before he could get far, the moisture in the surrounding air quickly condensed and solidified into ice needles, shooting towards him from all directions with a series of crunching sounds.
A loud, agonized scream pierced the air.
Soon, the screams weakened and eventually faded away entirely.
Huyi Xuan Yue casually swatted away a few insignificant insects, uninterested in giving them a second glance. He continued on his way, effortlessly traversing the trap-laden clearing on the outskirts of Mount Kazura, just as he had done a year ago, until he reached the barrier.
"At least it's a familiar face. Let's change things up from last time and not destroy the barrier so violently."
Gazing at the defensive barrier before him, Huyi Xuan Yue stroked his chin thoughtfully before coming to a swift decision.
He extended his hands and pressed them against the barrier.
Then, with a powerful exertion of force, he pulled his hands outward, one to the left and one to the right.
Riiiiip!
The barrier tore like thin paper, instantly creating a gap just large enough for a person to pass through.
As Huyi Xuan Yue stepped across the threshold...
Deep within the territory of the Tsuchi-gumo clan, another surveillance crystal ball monitoring the barrier cracked, setting off an alarm.
"We have intruders! And they've already breached the barrier!"
Dunning's expression changed drastically as he immediately recalled the invasion from a year ago when the enemy had suddenly appeared within Mount Kazura without any warning.
The intense battle that had ensued was still vividly etched in his memory.
If the enemy this time was of similar strength...
"Miss Ying! We must evacuate immediately!"
Instinctively, Dunning reached out to grab Ying, intending to flee with her.
But he forgot that Ying's strength far surpassed his own now.
"This is the territory of the Tsuchi-gumo clan, and I am their leader. It is my responsibility to defend our home." Ying easily dodged Dunning's outstretched hand, her gaze resolute.
As her words fell...
On the bed nearby, Yu, who had just fallen unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
Gulon~ Gulon~
An ominous chakra began to surge within him.
Ying watched this transformation, stunned.
"Wh-What is this? Such an immense chakra! And this aura... Why is it so intimidating?"
Ying took a cautious step back, her eyes wide with apprehension.
Dunning mirrored her movement, his face a mask of astonishment as he turned to look at Yu.
That suffocatingly violent aura brought back memories of the time he had accompanied Role-Playing Master on the battlefield during the Great Ninja War. He had witnessed a similar aura emanating from someone there.
If he recalled correctly, that person's identity was...
"Jinchuriki."
As Huyi Xuan Yue retraced his steps on the soil of Mount Kazura, he had barely taken a few strides when he lifted his head and sensed the presence of a tailed beast up ahead.
"Lucky me. I didn't expect to find the Six-Tails here."
A slight smile curved Huyi Xuan Yue's lips as he continued on his way.
"Jinchuriki!"
The memory of that colossal, inhuman entity from the battlefield, whose overwhelming presence had once wreaked havoc and claimed countless lives, flashed through Dunning's mind. He hastily pulled Ying backward, intending to put some distance between them and the potential threat.
Misfortune never comes alone.
The creature before them was clearly beyond their ability to confront.
However, before Dunning and Ying could retreat very far, the unruly tailed beast chakra raging within Yu calmed down and was swiftly retracted back into his body.
Yu rose to his feet.
Thanks to his jinchuriki constitution, Yu, who had recovered considerably, had overheard the exchange between Ying and Dunning. Now, he spoke in his usual indifferent tone:
"I'll deal with the enemy. You two should leave first."
Without another word, he turned away from them and headed outside.
"Miss Ying!"
With an unknown enemy outside and an unstable jinchuriki inside, Dunning felt the weight of immense pressure. He wanted to persuade Miss Ying to retreat first.
At this moment, she could perceive that the enemy had arrived.
There was only one person.
Yet, he felt profoundly unfathomable.
Additionally, for some reason, she also felt a vague sense of familiarity.
"Do I know this person?"
Filled with doubt, Ying and Tonbeiwei walked out of the room together.
Then, along with Huye, who was a few steps ahead, they saw Huyi Xuan Yue strolling towards them as if he were out on a casual hike.
In the instant that Huye laid eyes on Huyi Xuan Yue, a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes.
He had assumed that the person approaching was the Kirigakure pursuit squad that had been after him for a long time, but it turned out to be someone he didn't recognize.
Although Huyi Xuan Yue was now famous throughout the ninja world, not everyone could recognize his face.
Huye, who preferred a quiet and secluded life, had no interest in keeping up with the latest developments in the ninja world.
"An enemy from Mount Kazura? Then, I'll take care of them quickly."
Huye made his decision.
Similarly, Ying and Tonbeiwei, who had been living in seclusion outside Mount Kazura and had little knowledge of the outside world, did not recognize Huyi Xuan Yue.
However, Ying still looked at Huyi Xuan Yue with a hint of doubt and was just about to ask something.
But Huye had already taken action.
Water Style: Bubble Jutsu!
Huye picked up a straw and blew into it, releasing a large number of bubbles that appeared harmless but were actually extremely destructive. They surged towards Huyi Xuan Yue, covering him completely.
"Six-Tails Jinchuriki."
Huyi Xuan Yue said indifferently, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Countless ice needles condensed in front of him.
After a sweeping attack...
Amid the loud popping sounds of bursting bubbles, the Water Style: Bubble Jutsu was instantly shattered.
"Ice Style? Snow Clan?"
Huye's expression changed.
Before he could do anything else...
Huyi Xuan Yue's voice rang in his ears again: "Didn't the Six-Tails inside you tell you not to seek death?"
Huye was taken aback.
Unlike a perfect Jinchuriki, his relationship with the Six-Tails was rather strained, and there was minimal communication between them.
He didn't understand why the person standing before him had said what he did.
Did the Six-Tales know this person and was wary of them?
Impossible!
How could the Tail Beasts, a force that not even humans could hope to match, fear a human being?
Huye shook his head.
Regardless, Huyi Xuan Yue had just effortlessly broken through his signature jutsu.
His opponent was very strong, and he would have to go all out.
Huye's expression turned serious.
Seeing this, Huyi Xuan Yue also shook his head.
There was a special connection between the Tail Beasts, and even if the Six-Tails didn't recognize him, it should have sensed his strength.
But there was no reaction at all.
Apparently, the relationship between this Jinchuriki and their Tailed Beast was not a good one.
Since that was the case...
"Let me knock some sense into you first."
Huyi Xuan Yue's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared at Huye's side, throwing a punch.
Huye's pupils constricted, and his body was instantly covered by the Six-Tails' chakra as he raised his hand to block.
Boom!
Huye was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through several walls and skidding along the ground for seventy or eighty meters before finally coming to a stop, his body completely embedded in the earth.
Huyi Xuan Yue retracted his gaze and said calmly:
"Six-Tails Jinchuriki, captured."
