This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 227 Melee with the Three-Tailed Beast (End of 10,000 words)

"This scenery truly lives up to its name as the Village of Blood Mist!" Ryuji remarked.

The conflict between Yagura and the head of the Taketori clan intensified.

No one dared to approach them anymore.

The chieftain of the Bamboo Clan came with a completely reckless attitude, so even though Yagura Karatachi was stronger than him, he couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

"The Corpse Bone Vein, the Dance of Early Ferns!"

The chieftain of the Bamboo Clan, who was constantly at a disadvantage, had completely lost his mind and recklessly used his strongest move.

Bone spikes protruded from the ground. Although they were not as powerful as Kimimaro's final blow in his battle with Lee, the sharp bone spikes still formed a small forest of bones within a radius of several hundred meters.

Yagura's face gradually darkened. The other party was acting like he didn't care about his life, but he had only recently become the Mizukage and still wanted to live.

Using the momentum in the air, he flipped backward and slammed his weapon hard onto the ground, breaking a few bones, and finally found a foothold.

Just as the chieftain of the Taketori clan was about to take advantage of the opportunity to attack him from underground with bone spikes, Yagura suddenly jumped up again.

"The Corpse Bone Pulse, the Dance of the Camellia"

The chieftain of the Bamboo Clan drew a bone knife from his right hand and charged into the Bone Forest, where he engaged in battle with Yagura, the tachibana clan chief.

"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"

With one hand forming a hand seal, Yagura conjured a mirror in front of his eyes, from which flew a water clone that looked exactly like the chief of the Taketori clan.

The chieftain of the Bamboo Clan casually thrust forward, then cleaved the water clone in two with a vertical slash, completely ignoring the fact that the water clone's right-hand bone sword had pierced his own left shoulder.

"Yagura Karatachi, unleash the power of the Tailed Beast! If you think you can defeat me in your current state, you're delusional!"

He casually tossed the bone knife from his left hand, pressed it against his spine, and roared.

"Corpse Bone Pulse, Dance of the Iron Wire Flower"

A long vertebra was pulled from his right hand; the vertebra was soft and wrapped around Yagura like a whip.

Yagura's weapon was first wrapped around his body and then tied to his upper body.

The longer the bloodline limit is used by the Bamboo Clan, the more severe the disease becomes. At this point, the clan leader's face has lost all the color of a normal person.

All that could be seen was pale whiteness.

Even if he defeats Yagura now, he won't live much longer, not to mention that Yagura hasn't even used his last trump card yet.

He watched as the whip formed from his spine bypassed his weapons and bound him.

The chakra of the person trying to break free from the hanging object was trying to escape, but after two attempts, there was no response.

His spine hardened instantly after being wrapped around him, like steel shackles.

Upon seeing the scene before him, the pale face of the bamboo grove chieftain was broken by a maniacal laugh.

"Let me finish you off!"

"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Eightfold Rosary"

He wielded bone knives with incredible speed, striking repeatedly and shattering the obstacles he had created himself, before charging towards Yagura Karatachi, who was firmly bound by his spine.

Yagura Karatachi unleashed bursts of chakra beneath his feet and retreated rapidly. If his opponent made contact, he would likely suffer severe injury or even death instantly.

The clan leader wrapped his hands around his neck again and again, forming two enormous drills that he aimed at Yagura's head. This was his strongest attack.

The image of the Taketori clan chief in Yagura's pupils grew larger and larger until he closed his eyes.

The crimson tailed beast cloak instantly covered his entire body, and his strength surged. Although his rationality was still greatly affected, he had no choice but to do so in order to quell the rebellion.

He knew very well that, besides Kisame, other high-ranking officials were also watching this battle.

I must suppress this rebellion with overwhelming force; otherwise, even if I achieve a Pyrrhic victory, it will only give them ammunition to attack me or leave them with the impression that I am nothing special, thus giving them the desire to resist.

After being covered by the Tailed Beast Cloak, his body gradually swelled, indicating that he was about to enter Tailed Beast Mode.

"Get ready, it's time for us to take the stage!"

As Ryuji Ayaki watched Yagura prepare to unleash the true form of the Tailed Beast, he knew that with the destructive power of the Tailed Beast, the entire Kaguya clan would be doomed.

"Yes, Master!"

Hong shook her hands, already assuming a fighting stance, ready to charge in at Long Er's command.

"Wanlijiang, leave that kid named Kimimaro to me. As for the other small fry, just pick a few at random. Don't worry about their strength."

Wanlijiang nodded, indicating that the task of capturing prisoners had been handed over to him.

"However, even if it's just a small group, they will still rebel!"

Wanlizang had absolutely no confidence in the loyalty of this group of people.

"Don't worry, I don't need their loyalty, I only need their fighting power. When the time comes, we just need to provide them with the opportunity to fight, and we don't need to consider anything else."

To deal with a madman, you need a unique way of interacting with them.

……

Yagura instantly broke free from the spine binding his body, and his body rapidly grew larger, reaching the height of several stories in the blink of an eye.

The bone spikes that the bamboo clan chief had placed on the ground were rendered useless, shattering under the pressure of the three-tailed beast.

"roar!"

The Three-Tails gradually rose into the air, transforming into a giant sphere. Its carapace made it resemble a road roller, a powerful cleaning machine that rolled forward.

The chieftain of the Bamboo Clan still did not choose to back down.

The bone spears in his hands slammed into the three-tailed beast's carapace, which spun wildly against his bones, sending sparks flying.

The chieftain of the bamboo grove, his legs planted firmly on the ground, had already driven into the soil up to his knees under immense pressure.

Sparks flew from the bone spurs on his hands before they finally snapped with a crack.

Then, the dark shadow rolled over and completely buried the body of the bamboo keeper on the ground.

The three-tailed creature's body, like a bowling ball, crashed into the Kaguya clan, who were fighting against the Anbu, and forcefully crushed them without distinguishing friend from foe.

The screams were drowned out by the roar of the three-tailed beast crushing through them.

The members of the Bamboo Cutter Clan, who were directly crushed, were instantly turned into minced meat.

Kimimaro, who was only a few years old, was also in the area being crushed. He looked up at the three-tailed beast that was covering him, and instead of closing his eyes and waiting to die like the others, he bowed down, with several bone spurs emerging from his fingers, trying to emulate the clan leader who had just died in battle.

Just as the massive body was about to crush him.

Ryuji suddenly appeared, grabbed him, and leaped forward, jumping out of the tailed beast's range. Then, he delivered a chop to the neck, and the Chunin-level ninja immediately fainted.

Then she opened her personal space and casually threw the unconscious Kimimaro into it. At this moment, Kurenai also grabbed several members of the Kimimaro clan, punched them a few times, and then threw them into her personal space.

They only chose young people who were a few years old or teenagers; they didn't want anyone over 20.

The older they get, the crazier they become. The lifespan of the bamboo plucker clan is already short, and when faced with death, the madmen only become more insane.

Sanwei stopped. He noticed the arrival of an uninvited guest and turned to look coldly at Ryuji standing opposite him.

Qing, who had been silently observing everything from afar, quickly turned to Mei Mei and said.

"That person is here!"

"Who?"

When Mei Terumi saw Kiyoshi, she rarely showed a look of panic.

"Ryuuji Ayaki!"

Mei Terumi and a few others, including Ao, were aware that the major ninja villages had united to deal with Sunagakure.

During this period, Kirigakure has been continuously purchasing all kinds of steel and ore, and has been carrying out large-scale construction projects, investing a considerable portion of the village's income into these projects.

He just doesn't have the authority to know what exactly is being built.

All those involved in the construction, along with their families, were placed under strict surveillance.

This matter is confidential.

And now, the person that Kirigakure had gone to such great lengths to deal with had actually appeared in the village.

"Why did they come?"

After learning of Ryuji Ayaki's arrival, Mei Terumi decided to be unusually cautious and go out now, lest she be mistaken for a grunt and eliminated, which would be a huge loss.

Ryuuji looked up at the massive figure of the Three-Tailed Beast.

They didn't care whether the current consciousness was controlled by Yagura Karatachi or by the Three-Tailed Beast.

He simply said to himself, "Was this to force yourself into becoming a Jinchūriki in order to deal with the new Mizukage? But the price of gaining power too quickly is an unstable foundation. Right now, you probably don't even have the qualifications to return to normal, do you?"

Although Yagura was a perfect Jinchuriki in the original work, the current Yagura has only been a Jinchuriki for a few months and is far from being able to fully control the power of the Tailed Beasts as in the original work.

In fact, even in the original manga, whether Yagura had complete control over the tailed beasts when he faced Itachi and Juzo Biwa is another matter entirely.

Ryuji was itching for a fight. Now that he had come to Kirigakure, he needed to make some noise before leaving, kill their new Mizukage, and give them a severe blow!

The Three-Tails didn't answer, but opened its mouth and roared. Then, small spheres formed from natural energy and Yin-Yang Release power kept appearing in the air and gathering in its mouth.

This is the most signature move of all the Tailed Beasts: the Tailed Beast Ball.

Ryuji leaped up and landed on the head of the Three-Tails, then slammed his foot down from the air, leaving a brilliant vertical line in the air.

With the chakra-amplified armor, this kick possessed the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

"Bang!"

With a violent tremor, a shockwave rippled outwards from the collision.

Ryuuji slammed his foot into the head of the three-tailed beast, the three-tailed beast's upper jaw bit into its lower jaw, and then slammed its entire head into the ground.

With a deafening roar, the ground cracked open, forming a deep crater. The Tailed Beast Ball, which had just been brewing, exploded prematurely, knocking down a row of houses and dispersing the blood mist nearby, leaving only some lingering dust in the air.

Kisame, along with Ao, Mei Terumi, and others who were watching from afar, also noticed the commotion.

They didn't take the few members of the Bamboo Cutter Clan that Ryuji had casually captured seriously, because no one would have thought that such a big commotion would be caused just to capture a few members of the Bamboo Cutter Clan.

But in Ryuji's eyes, finding people was the main thing, and dealing with Yagura was just a side matter.

However, Kisame and the others saw it as the exact opposite.

"Is this guy trying to fight a tailed beast hand-to-hand?!" Kisame thought, finding it hard to believe.

Although they lost to the enemy in the war in the Land of Whirlpools, it was Kurenai who showed her power, while Ryuji Ayaki... although he was also very strong, he was more of a combination of ninjutsu and taijutsu, and did not show too much physical strength.

but.

Although he couldn't believe it, he had to accept his guess when he thought of the series of illustrious achievements that Ryuji Ayaki had made in the ninja world.

"No, no, no, now is not the time to be surprised about that!"

Kisame shook his head, shaking off the random thoughts in his mind.

"The question now is, what is this guy doing in Kirigakure?"

Regarding Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, Rin is indeed unique in Obito's heart, even surpassing Kakashi, but that doesn't mean there's no one else in Obito's heart.

If Kakashi were killed by Rin in front of him, Obito would still awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he wouldn't turn evil; instead, he would strive to become Hokage and change the world.

Even though Obito's own grandmother died before his eyes, he would still awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he would not become twisted or corrupted. Instead, he would develop an intense hatred for war and yearn for peace.

Madara and Izuna awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan after killing their friends, Shisui awakened his after witnessing the death of his teammates, and Itachi awakened his after witnessing the death of Shisui. These people were not as important to them as Rin was to Obito, but they still awakened their Mangekyou Sharingan.
