I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Cloud Release: Smoke Prison!

The next second, the somersault cloud beneath Shigure's feet seemed to suddenly begin to grow, releasing a large amount of mist that enveloped the island. This mist settled around the island, forming a huge circle.

Then it began to swirl layer by layer, forming a huge cage of smoke.

After the smoke cage took shape, Chojuro suddenly realized what was happening.

"Last time in Konoha, Lord Shigure used this technique to trap the First and Second Hokage, who were resurrected through Edo Tensei, right?"

'A technique that could trap even the two Hokage, should be impossible for even the Six-Tails Jinchuriki to handle!'

This was the first time Haku had ever seen a ninja use smoke, but this smoke seemed to be something special.

"Lord Shigure, what is this...?"

Bai asked.

"This smoke will completely envelop this place, so the Six-Tails Jinchuriki won't be able to escape!"

Controlling the Somersault Cloud, Shigure slowly landed on the island, her gaze fixed on the forest ahead.

And a rustling sound came from the forest.

Soon, a figure slowly walked out.

"As expected of Kirigakure ninjas. That strange white fish earlier, that was your ninjutsu, wasn't it!"

"They came so fast, I didn't even have time to leave the island!"

As Yu Gao spoke, his expression became somewhat strange after he had a clear look at the enemy in front of him.

"child?"

"The Hidden Mist Village sent three children to capture me??"

I thought it was some terrifying enemy, but now it seems... completely different from what I imagined!

Chapter 185 Shigure, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Makes His Move

"you!"

Shigure slowly descended from the somersault cloud.

Bai and Changshilang had already jumped down and were on high alert.

Even Chojuro took out his twin swords, Hiramekarei, and silently swallowed.

He looked very nervous.

Bai, on the other hand, wears a mask, perhaps out of habit. Only when he wears a mask can Bai truly hold nothing back.

Looking at the two people behind Shi Yu.

The white mask is a mask used by the ninja pursuit team. Utakata has seen many of them, but he has never encountered one that is put on only at the start of a battle.

Meanwhile, Chojuro on the other side is something that Hataka is very concerned about.

Hiramekarei, the ninja sword from the Hidden Mist Village!

Although he was not one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he knew all seven of the village's ninja swords.

Chojuro may not look very old, but the fact that he was able to inherit the twin swords Hiramekarei speaks volumes.

This kid, who looks incredibly nervous and even seems to be trembling, is definitely not weak.

And the timely rain in between.

Calm, composed, with no emotion on his face and an expression as usual.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like an ordinary ninja.

Shigure should even be considered the captain among the three.

That makes it even more noteworthy.

The strange white fish, and the odd mist that enveloped the island.

It must all be the ninjutsu of this kid in front of me.

Saiken: 'Utaka, watch out for this brat! His chakra is very strong, and it seems like he also has Shukaku's chakra fluctuations!'

Upon hearing this, Yu Gao paused for a moment, "Shukaku?"

Isn't that the tailed beast of Sunagakure? This brat in front of me is wearing a headband from Kirigakure, how could he possibly be related to the One-Tailed Beast!

"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki, Utakata!"

Shiyu spoke slowly.

This title made Utakata somewhat unhappy; it was one thing to be called by his name, but to be called the Six-Tails Jinchuriki was another.

He hates being called a Jinchūriki.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a Jinchūriki, he wouldn't have become a rogue ninja and fled the village.

"Kids, you can go now! You seem to be quite strong, otherwise you wouldn't be part of the chasing ninja squad!"

"But you can't catch me!"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "We couldn't catch it, but we've caught it now, haven't we?"

Shi Yu spread her hands.

"Can you escape my cage?"

Yu Gao frowned as he looked at the smoke enveloping the island and took out a special straw from his pocket.

He exhales a bubble; this is the unique ninjutsu of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki: Bubble Ninjutsu.

Although they are just bubbles, they are incredibly powerful, and the destructive force caused by a bubble bursting is not small.

As the bubbles rushed toward the misty cage of the rain.

boom!

It suddenly exploded, leaving the smoke cage completely unharmed, without even the slightest ripple.

Yu Gao's expression turned serious.

'What a sturdy cage!'

How can a cage made of smoke be made to be so strong?

What kind of secret technique is this? I've never seen or heard of such a technique before!

"You've only trapped me temporarily. If I really wanted to escape, I can assure you, you wouldn't want to see me like that!"

It's nothing more than tailed beast transformation!

Shigure: "We don't have to fight, but you have to come back to Kirigakure with us!"

Utakata's gaze hardened: "I will not return to Kirigakure, absolutely not, no matter what!"

Shi Yu sighed: "Come back with me, I promise you'll be fine!"

ensure?

Yu Gao laughed. This kid was far too confident. Didn't he know what kind of place Kirigakure was and how tough it was on rogue ninja?

If they go back, they will surely die.

"The Hidden Mist Village wants the power of the Tailed Beasts, and you think I'll be alright? Hah! Kid, do you think I'd believe that?"

Upon hearing this, Shiyu felt somewhat helpless.

"The Tailed Beast originally belonged to Kirigakure. To be precise, you stole it. If you don't want the status of a Jinchuriki, why don't you just have someone extract your Tailed Beast?"

Utakata: "If the Tailed Beast and its Jinchuriki are separated, I will die too!"

"So, for this reason you doubted your master, and when he was willing to give his life to change your fate, you chose to kill him and escape Kirigakure!"

Utakata paused for a moment: "He was merely eyeing the power of the tailed beasts..."

"Idiot, do you think becoming a Jinchuriki is something you can just do at will? Without a special physique, it's impossible to withstand the power of a Tailed Beast! Your master simply couldn't contain the power of a Tailed Beast. Do you think your master didn't know that?"

Shigure's words left Yugao bewildered.

"If you doubt your master, please use your brain first! Do you think everyone can become a Jinchuriki? If the Jinchuriki physique were so easy to acquire, the major ninja villages wouldn't need to go to such lengths to find suitable children to serve as vessels for the Tailed Beasts!"

Yu Gao looked at Shigure, and his heart began to waver. He had previously thought that his master wanted to kill him so that he could escape Kirigakure.

From then on, he no longer believed in the bond between master and disciple.

But now that Shigure has said this, he does feel there is a problem, if his master's physique really can accommodate a tailed beast.

She shouldn't have chosen to become a Jinchūriki in the first place!

But how could that be? If Master didn't want to kill me back then, and didn't covet the power of the Tailed Beasts, then why would he... want to extract the Tailed Beasts?

...... .. 0

"Your master has found a way to separate the Tailed Beast from you without harming your life. Of course, everything comes at a price, and that price is probably your master sacrificing his life for yours!"

Shigure guessed it was probably a technique similar to that of Granny Chiyo from Sunagakure.

Unfortunately, the Jinchūriki in front of him believed that his master wanted to kill him, so he transformed into his Tailed Beast form and killed everyone present before escaping Kirigakure.
