Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

Chapter 353 The Perfect Two-Tails Jinchuriki

Several days later, on a vast sea to the east of the Land of Lightning, a huge island was slowly moving across the surface of the sea at a speed imperceptible to ordinary people.

This island, capable of moving across the sea, is Turtle Island, a terrifying giant turtle that was herded by the Hidden Cloud Village. On this giant turtle lies an ancient relic left by ancient people in an attempt to create the perfect Jinchuriki.

Deep within the ruins, Yukimaru, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, is engaged in a difficult battle between man and beast.

Yuzuki Maru has already successfully crossed the real waterfall outside the ruins, reconciling with his dark side. Now he is trying to use the magical power of the ancient ruins to fight the Two-Tails here.

To become a perfect Jinchūriki, one must not only undergo arduous mental trials and overcome one's own dark side, but also defeat the Tailed Beast within one's body in order to truly gain the Tailed Beast's respect and recognition.

Respect and recognition between the strong can only be determined by a brutal struggle for victory; this has been true throughout history.

Deep within the ruins, in a mysterious space, the enormous Two-Tails continuously created terrifying blue fireballs to attack Yuzuki Maru. Temporarily deprived of the Two-Tails' power, Yuzuki Maru struggled to dodge the overwhelming attacks.

After losing the power of the Two-Tails, although his true strength still possesses Kage-level combat power, without the almost inexhaustible chakra and the powerful self-healing ability attached to the Tailed Beast, he is now just an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse.

If he were to be hit head-on by the Two-Tails' attack, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

Fortunately, he had been the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails for many years and had successfully mobilized the power of the Two-Tails in his early years. He also did not lose himself when entering the Tailed Beast Transformation state. He was extremely familiar with the Two-Tails' fighting style and could use it in the battle against the Two-Tails.

With his outstanding combat experience, Yukimaru continuously accumulated advantages in the battle against the Two-Tails, gradually turning the tide and turning danger into safety. He even used a powerful water-style ninjutsu to injure the Two-Tails in return.

"Now."

Yukimaru temporarily suppressed the Two-Tails using Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique, and immediately found an opportunity to win. He decisively stepped on the water and rushed towards the Two-Tails at high speed. While constantly dodging the Two-Tails' fireball attacks, he secretly activated the Cloud Hidden Sealing Technique: Iron Seal.

Finally, after using a water clone to deceive the Two-Tails' fatal attack, his true form successfully appeared on the Two-Tails' head and slammed a palm hard onto the Two-Tails' skull.

"Yuzuki Maru, you bastard."

Two-Tails let out a fierce roar.

It never expected that it would lose in the end. It had a fair fight with Yuzuki Maru again, but it never thought that it would lose.

It has already foreseen its defeat.

From then on, it could never break free from Yukimaru's seal, and all its chakra would return to Yukimaru as soon as possible. If it ever wanted to regain its freedom, it would only be after Yukimaru died.

It was extremely unwilling, but in the end it gave up struggling, allowing all its chakra to be absorbed by Yukimaru, and returned to the mental space inside Yukimaru's body.

"Congratulations, Lord Yugimaru. From now on, you are the perfect Jinchūriki."

After Yuzuki successfully returned the Two-Tails to his body, a sweet voice suddenly came from the corner of the space.

The speaker was a stunning blonde ninja, none other than Casalan, who was responsible for accompanying Yukimaru here for his secret training as a Jinchuriki.

Since the start of Yuzuru's battle with the Two-Tails, she had been quietly retreating to a corner to watch the fight, ready to intervene and provide timely assistance to Yuzuru so that he wouldn't die at the hands of the Two-Tails.

"Haha, I was able to complete my training so smoothly this time, thanks to your help. If it weren't for the improved Iron Seal and physical techniques you taught me, I don't think I could have defeated the Two-Tails."

Yuzuki Maru expressed his heartfelt gratitude upon hearing Casalan's congratulatory words.

After spending time together, he had come to realize that the beautiful female ninja in front of him was extremely powerful. Although she had not yet reached the Kage level, she was not far off and would surely become an outstanding Kage-level powerhouse in the future.

What's even more remarkable is that she is also a Kage-level expert proficient in medical ninjutsu and taijutsu, and has considerable skill in sealing techniques.

Such Kage-level powerhouses are extremely rare in Kumogakure; they are truly invaluable talents that Kumogakure cannot match.

"It's what I should do. I've gained a lot from this trip. I never expected this ancient ruin to have such amazing abilities. After passing the test of the Real Falls, I feel like I'm not far from becoming a Kage."

Casalan smiled.

Her smile was captivating, leaving Yuzuki Maru somewhat mesmerized, as if the entire mysterious space had come to shine.

Yukimaru was ultimately a Jinchūriki who could maintain his sanity while in Tailed Beast form, possessing a strong will. His stunned state only lasted for a second or two.

To cover his embarrassment, he quickly changed the subject: "Casalan, my training is over. It's time for us to go back. What do you think?"

"Of course it would be great. There's nothing here, and I'm so bored. The sooner I get back, the better."

Casalan continued to laugh and agree.

As a spy, she usually lies all the time, but what she just said was true.

She personally disliked this place far removed from human society, and she also had a task assigned by her master that she hadn't completed yet. She had to hurry back and finish the task.

As long as she completes the mission, she will surely receive a generous reward from her master, and she is indeed not far from advancing to the Shadow level.

The two chatted happily as they walked and talked. Just as Yukimaru was about to invite Casalan to a luxury restaurant in Kumogakure to further strengthen their relationship, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Then, the entire ground began to flip.

Yukimaru and Casaran noticed the situation was escalating, so they immediately used chakra to firmly attach their feet to the ground to avoid falling.

However, the shaking continued throughout the island, and the entire ground had flipped 180 degrees.

"Oh no, a powerful enemy is attacking!"

Yuzuki Maru said with a grim expression.

Casalan's expression was equally grim. He quickly nodded and said, "Lord Yuzuki Maru, the enemy is capable of turning Turtle Island upside down, so their strength must be immense. We currently lack sufficient information, so it would be best to avoid direct confrontation for now."

They both knew perfectly well what Turtle Island was all about.

The fact that the entire Turtle Island has been overturned shows just how powerful the enemy is.

"No, Turtle Island is an important stronghold of our Cloud Village. It is also a sacred training ground for perfect Jinchuriki. We cannot abandon it casually. Casalan, I will go and hold off the enemy first. You take the opportunity to leave and send the message back to Cloud Village."

Yuzuki Maru then expressed his opposition.

Kassaran saw a hint of excitement in his eyes and immediately realized that this Two-Tails Jinchuriki felt his strength had greatly increased after becoming a perfect Jinchuriki. He was confident in dealing with the powerful enemies he would encounter next and even wanted to use this opportunity to test just how powerful he was after becoming a perfect Jinchuriki.

Casalan didn't try to dissuade Yukimaru. In fact, she was hoping that Yukimaru would do something reckless, as long as he didn't take her with him. Now that Yukimaru was telling her to retreat first, that was fine. So she pretended to remind him, "Lord Yukimaru, the person coming is very likely Uchiha Madara or his subordinates. You must be careful."

When they arrived here, they had already learned from the Third Raikage about the mysterious disappearance of the Four-Tails of Iwagakure, and thus learned that Madara Uchiha was likely targeting the Tailed Beasts for some purpose.

"Don't worry, I won't force you. Among the many tailed beasts, Matatabi, the Two-Tails, may not be the strongest, but in terms of speed, it is definitely the strongest. If I want to leave, no one can stop me."

Yuzuki Maru said with absolute confidence.

After becoming the perfect Jinchuriki, he clearly felt that his physical abilities and chakra had increased dramatically, and he became more adept at using the Tailed Beast's chakra. He no longer needed to expend a lot of mental energy to control it, nor did he need to worry about losing control.

This effectively frees up more of his soft power, allowing him to focus more on the battle and unleash more of his strength.

Most importantly, he felt as if the chakra within him was inexhaustible, and he had no need to worry about chakra at all.

He was now really eager to use this terrifying chakra to create a torrent of ninjutsu to annihilate the invading enemy and let them know that he was not someone to be trifled with.

"Then I wish you great success, sir. I'll go send the message now."

Casalan said.

She has already given the necessary warnings, and the people guarding outside have also arrived. With these witnesses, she need not worry about being punished even if she abandons Yuzuki Maru.

A few seconds later, the two parted ways.

Meanwhile, on the sea outside Turtle Island, a giant green snake was tightly coiling around the entire island and biting the giant turtle's neck with its gaping maw.

The giant tortoise went mad from its injury, causing its body, which had transformed into an island, to flip over.

"What a wondrous creature! Its size is enormous, probably much larger than the White Snake Immortal."

Above the flipped-over Turtle Island, a middle-aged man with both the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan spread his iron sand wings and flew through the air, letting out a soft sigh.

The middle-aged man was none other than Madara Uchiha's Pain, created from the corpse of the Third Kazekage.

With the power of the Rinnegan, Pain not only mastered repulsion and attraction, enabling him to unleash powerful abilities such as Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in, but also fully retained the Third Kazekage's Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai.

Thanks to the ninjas of the Oni organization who discovered the location of Turtle Island, he came here to capture the Two-Tails.

However, now that he has seen the true appearance of Turtle Island, he feels it is necessary to take this giant turtle as well. Whether as a summoning beast puppet or as a secret base, this giant turtle is very good.

In terms of size, the green snake from Ryuchi Cave was obviously far smaller than the giant tortoise. Its ability to successfully coil around Turtle Island and bite the giant tortoise's neck was entirely due to a sneak attack.

But as the giant tortoise went berserk and unleashed terrifying power, it began to feel the pressure. Its already dead and lifeless body, which had become somewhat stiff, quickly developed cracks, and a large number of blue snake scales fell off its body.

The green snake ignored this and continued to do its best to suppress the giant tortoise, faithfully carrying out the orders given by Uchiha Madara.

Suddenly, a huge blue fireball struck the Green Serpent's head, blasting its left eye socket, the Rinnegan, into a bloody mess.

"They still won't budge? What's wrong with this summoning beast? It actually has the Rinnegan."

On Turtle Island, Yukimaru, who had already entered the tailed beast form, was surprised to see that the blue snake still wouldn't loosen its grip on the giant turtle's neck.

Konohamaru, having become a perfect Jinchuriki, once again entered Tailed Beast Transformation. He transformed into a smaller version of Matatabi, and the giant blue fireball he had just released was his doing. Because he was worried about harming the giant turtle, he only used a small portion of his power.

He thought this would make the mysterious green snake relent, but he didn't expect it to fail.

"It seems I need to be more violent. No matter what kind of summon you are, you'll die with this one hit."

Yuzuki Maru said coldly.

The next moment, he opened his mouth, and a black, concentrated chakra ball appeared rapidly.

It is the Tailed Beast Ball.

Yukimaru was about to use a Tailed Beast Ball to destroy the section of the giant turtle's body that the green snake was coiling around, but just as he was about to launch it, a cold voice suddenly appeared: "To become a perfect Jinchuriki, you've got some skill."

Upon hearing this voice, Yukimaru shot the Tailed Beast Ball in front of his mouth into the sky without thinking. Then, with a twitch of his limbs, he disappeared from the spot as a series of afterimages.

The next moment, a terrifying gravitational pressure was felt in this place.

The area covered by that gravity was nearly several hundred meters. Although Yuki Maru was moving incredibly fast, he couldn't escape the gravity suppression over such a large area in an instant. He was immediately and heavily pressed to the ground, making it difficult for him to move.

"It's so heavy, could this be the Iwagakure's Weighted Rock Technique?"

Yuzuki Maru was suppressed by gravity and found that he could not break free, and exclaimed in horror.

At that moment, he thought of many things, believing that it was Onoki from Iwagakure who had attacked him, and that Iwagakure wanted to capture him to replace him after losing his Jinchūriki.

But isn't Iwagakure currently engaged in a major battle with Sunagakure?

Why would Onoki have the leisure to arrest him?

For a moment, his mind was filled with doubt.

Soon, his doubts were resolved, and a middle-aged ninja with both the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan appeared before his eyes.

"The Third Kazekage! Impossible, weren't you already dead?"

Yuzuki Maru looked at the person and said in disbelief.

Although he had never seen the Third Kazekage in person, he had seen him in some photos, so he was absolutely certain that he had not mistaken him for someone else. The middle-aged ninja with the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan in front of him was indeed the Third Kazekage.

When Madara Uchiha saw that Yukimaru recognized him as Pain, he simply smiled, then waved his right hand forward. The Sand Iron Wings on his back immediately disintegrated and rushed towards Yukimaru, enveloping him completely and transforming him into a small Sand Iron Pyramid.

Then, numerous sealing techniques emerged on the surface of the pyramid, determined to seal Yuzuki Maru.

But the next second, a blue pillar of fire shot out from the pyramid, blasting it apart.

The pillar of fire rose into the air, and then a huge blue flame beast appeared before Madara Uchiha.
