Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

Regarding this issue, Chihaya Uchiha now has a firsthand experience. As expected of a 'war weapon', she could only barely defend herself against the attacks of the two Yugitos despite her best efforts. This was only with the support of Ameyuri Ringo. If it were a one-on-one fight, she would not be a match for the two Yugitos!

"Whoosh-"

His breathing became heavy.

She felt a deep fatigue in her body, her legs felt as heavy as lead, and she had already eaten many ration pills. It had only been about five minutes since she encountered the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, and in such a short time, she had encountered the most intense battle of her life.

Every swing of her sword required all her strength, and she dared not be stingy with her chakra. The fierce wind that wrapped around the blade never subsided. Otherwise, she could not pose a sufficient threat to the two Yugitos. Fortunately, her weapon was the Kusanagi Sword, whose sturdy material was enough to withstand such a fierce battle. In particular, the [Vacuum Blade]'s amplification effect on wind release techniques allowed the two Yugitos to avoid being hit as much as possible.

The Tailed Beast Cloth offers excellent protection against blunt force or punches and kicks, but it is much less effective against sharp weapons.

"Kara!"

A thunderclap resounded.

Ringo Ameyuri wielded her Thunder Blade, Fang, unleashing bolts of lightning that forced the two Yugito to move in zigzag patterns across the snow. In her wake, she left behind a series of deep, smoking pits. Such marks covered the surrounding snowfield, and if it weren't for the extremely fast-falling snowflakes, the snow would have melted long ago.

The two running figures opened their mouths and spat out pale blue, rat-shaped flames that flew towards Ringo Ameyuri. Midway through the flames, they suddenly exploded, splitting into dozens of smaller fireballs that flew towards Ringo Ameyuri in different arcs.

This is the [Fire Rat Jade] —

It is a technique that can only be used with the help of the Two-Tails' power.

"It's that trick again! It's so annoying."

Ringo Yuri muttered unhappily.

No matter how unhappy she was, she had no choice but to give up attacking the two Yugito. The two Yugito had used this move against Uchiha Chihaya before. Although it didn't have any obvious results, Uchiha Chihaya had to exert a lot of effort and consume a lot of chakra to withstand this move.

These small fireballs may not seem very powerful, but they are enough to destroy a ninja who has never practiced hardening techniques or other methods to strengthen his body. The destructive power of a split fireball is about the same as half an explosive tag, which is enough to kill a person!

To be honest, Ringo Ameyuri didn't have many good ways to deal with these things. Ninety-nine percent of her ninjutsu were offensive lightning release techniques, and even her water release techniques were only the basic Hidden Mist Technique, which she wasn't used to using. At this moment, all she could do was attack with attack, swinging her sword to launch ball lightning bolts to counter the fireballs, causing a series of explosions in the air.

Ringo Ameyuri was briefly slowed down.

Having found an opportunity, the two Yugito pounced on Uchiha Chihaya again. She swung her crimson tail and clashed head-on with the Kusanagi sword in Uchiha Chihaya's hand. Relying on her strength advantage, she suppressed Uchiha Chihaya and suddenly stretched out her hands to grab her.

However, such a direct attack was obviously not going to be effective so easily. Uchiha Chihaya lowered her waist, her scarlet eyes meeting the gaze of the two Yugitos. The [Illusionary Dragon Sleep Technique] was activated silently, and the two Yugitos' consciousnesses fell into darkness, but were immediately awakened by the Two-Tails!

but,

There was a brief pause.

This amount of time was enough for Uchiha Chihaya to withdraw and quickly regroup, then charge at the two Yugitos with her sword. In the past five minutes, she had tried many attack methods. Ninjutsu was the most threatening, but also the most difficult to hit, and hand seals were too time-consuming, so it was not advisable.

Illusion techniques have limited effect on Yugito Nii. Her illusions are not enough to suppress both the Two-Tails and Yugito Nii at the same time. They can only be used as a surprise tactic in battle, like the one just now, to create a chance.

To the end,

She discovered that physical combat was still the most practical method.

【Uchiha Style: Heavenly Wind Chaos】

In an instant, six slashes were unleashed. The wind blades, sharp as mud, grazed the bodies of the two Yugitos, cutting through the snowflakes in the air and carving furrows into the ground beneath their feet. Yet, the two Yugitos were unharmed. Instead, they swung their arms, which stretched out rapidly like snakes and rushed towards Uchiha Chihaya.

In an instant, claws and blades clashed, and sparks flew through the air.

As Chihaya Uchiha swung her sword, her breathing became increasingly rapid. Although she still had some chakra left, her energy was already running low. Fighting a Jinchuriki was incredibly tiring. Each collision between the blade and claws consumed a lot of her strength, and the recoil made her arms increasingly sore.

Feel,

My arm bones will break in no time!

Ringo Ameyuri dealt with the tracking fireballs and was about to come to support Uchiha Chihaya when she was intercepted by two other Cloud Ninja. This time, Yugito wasn't fighting alone; the two teams of six Cloud Ninja who came with her were all Jonin.

They had previously engaged Yakushi Nonou and Hatake Kakashi, but Kakashi had injured his left arm bone in the previous battle. Even with Yakushi Nonou's treatment, he could only barely control it. After getting into the fierce battle, his injury quickly worsened, and his combat power was immediately reduced, so he was unable to finish off his opponent and support Uchiha Chihaya and Ringo Ameyuri for a long time.

After realizing that Yakushi Nono and Kakashi were powerless to turn the tide, the Cloud Ninja chose to split up, sending two of them to support Yugito Nii. In their view, helping Yugito Nii would be a faster way to eliminate this group of Konoha ninjas.

Therefore, Ringo Ameyuri was held back by the Cloud Ninja.

Chihaya Uchiha was forced to face the attacks of the two Yugitos alone for an extended period of time, and quickly began to show signs of being unable to hold on. Her body, which was becoming increasingly sluggish, could no longer keep up with the extremely fast attack speed of the two Yugitos.

After another collision, the Kusanagi Sword Vacuum Blade was knocked to one side, and Yugito's other arm passed through Chihaya Uchiha's defense. The distance between the two made Chihaya Uchiha's genjutsu power insufficient. All she could do was try her best to turn her body, so that the claw that was heading towards her throat left a deep, bone-revealing wound on her right shoulder.

The two Yukitos frowned.

She intended to strangle Uchiha Chihaya to knock her unconscious, but Uchiha Chihaya's actions ruined her plans and even injured her... However, this ultimately didn't change anything. Starting with Uchiha Chihaya, these Konoha ninjas would eventually be captured alive by her.

"Struggling will only hurt you!"

The two Yugitos swung their arms, preparing to knock Uchiha Chihaya unconscious again.

only--

"Move the wooden figure to the left!!"

The roar of the Two-Tails echoed in Yugito's heart. Without a second's hesitation, and ignoring Uchiha Chihaya, she quickly moved to the left, avoiding the katana that fell like a meteor and stuck where she had been standing.

"Yugito, it's Uchiha Shisui! Look down, don't look into his eyes!"

"Uchiha Shisui?"

The two Yugito lowered their heads, not looking at the man who had rushed over covered in frost, but staring at the gleaming katana and the man's feet. Subconsciously, they recalled their last battle with Uchiha Shisui. After that battle, they had become disgusted with war. Even though they knew rationally that this change did not happen naturally, they did not actually feel any aversion or resistance. Instead, they felt from the bottom of their hearts that they were fine the way they were now!

Of course, the bad thing is that 'Yataru' seems to be holding a grudge, and the way the Raikage and the others look at him has also changed.

"Chihaya, are you alright?"

Uchiha Shisui had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead. Despite the snowy weather, he was sweating profusely, which showed how hurriedly he had come. He saw Uchiha Chihaya injured in the distance and, in a moment of desperation, threw his Sky Blade, forcing the two Yugitos to retreat.

"Just a minor injury!"

Uchiha Chihaya looked completely unconcerned.

"Shisui, are you all alone?"

"What? You think I'm not enough?" Shisui breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Uchiha Chihaya's injuries were not life-threatening, and his speech became more casual.

"The Two-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"She couldn't stop me."

"Hmm... Well, then there's no problem."

Uchiha Chihaya thought about it seriously and nodded. Since the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was not a problem, then these Cloud Ninja could not be a match for Shisui. "I can't use my right hand now, so I can't use it in the next battle. You'll have to rely on yourself."

"Don't worry! It won't take too long."

As they were speaking,

A ring of emerald green illusory ribs appeared, protecting Shisui and Uchiha Chihaya in the center and blocking the two Yugito's outstretched arms.

Immediately,

Susanoo sprouted two arms and slammed them down on the two Yugito, forcing them to move and dodge.

Uchiha Chihaya took the opportunity to retreat and withdraw from the battle. Just now, Yugito's claw had not only cut open the flesh on her shoulder, but the wound was also covered with the Two-Tails' chakra. The chakra of the tailed beast is extremely corrosive to ninjas and will cause great pain.

She was now feeling the excruciating pain. Not only could she not lift her right arm, but the pain was also causing her condition to deteriorate further. At this point, she could not continue fighting the two Yugitos, and even ordinary Jonin would be difficult to deal with. She waved her left hand in the air to give a signal.

A few seconds later,

A giant, dark eagle landed, and Chihaya Uchiha, enduring the pain in her arm, jumped onto its back. The eagle flapped its wings and soared into the air, and soon she saw Juri standing on the back of another giant eagle.

"Is the situation serious?"

"I don't think I'll be able to play next, but... I probably won't be needed anyway."

"Is Uchiha Shisui really that powerful?"

Zhu Li looked down at the intertwined red and green shadows below. She had only heard about Uchiha Shisui's power from various intelligence reports, but she had never had the chance to see it in person.

"You've seen Sogen's Susanoo, right? It's said that the Susanoo of our Uchiha clan are generally not that different. At least the Susanoo of Sogen and Shisui are not that different. To be precise, Shisui's Susanoo seems to be a bit more special."

"Uchiha Chihaya said."

Two Susanoos of different colors and slightly different postures appeared in his mind. Shisui's Susanoo wielded a spiral sword, which could be combined with wind release techniques to unleash extremely powerful force. Judging from this weapon alone, it seemed to be more powerful than Sogen's simple greatsword!

"So that's how it is, Susanoo... How terrifying!"

Zhu Li muttered to himself.

Just as the two women were talking, the battle below suddenly changed. Facing Uchiha Shisui, neither Yugito nor the Two-Tails dared to be careless, especially the Two-Tails, which was even more nervous than Yugito. The lesson from last time was still fresh in its mind. It had been tricked by Uchiha Shisui using unknown methods. If Uchiha Shisui hadn't taken the initiative to retreat later, the final result might have been even worse.

"Yuki-do, don't fight head-on, you should retreat now."

"No, we can't retreat. If we retreat, it's like handing over the command post to him, and then our Cloud Ninja will be finished in this great battle."

"But... never mind, since that's the case, let's go all out. Don't use your full form, just fight him in your current form. Remember, don't look into his eyes, and don't rush. We'll fight a war of attrition. As long as we exhaust his chakra, that's our victory!"

"I see!"

The brainstorming session in Yugito's mind quickly ended, and she and Nio reached a consensus to prepare for a war of attrition with Shisui.

next second,

As Shisui moved, the Susanoo, which only showed a simple skeletal form, approached the two Yugito Nii. Its two white bone-like fists came down like a storm. Unwilling to take the blow head-on, Yugito Nii used her speed and agility to the extreme and perfectly avoided the Susanoo's attack.

but,

The two Yugitos were unaware of the Sky Sword buried in the shallow snow behind them. The Sky Sword, which had been stuck in the ground, had now silently moved behind them. It had been hidden in the snow until the two Yugitos were forced to move and gradually approach the buried weapon by Shisui.

Then, a flash of cold light appeared.

Following Shisui's intention, the Sky Blade stabbed fiercely towards Yugito's calf. This trick was a copy of the one Orochimaru used to scheme against him last time. Shisui fell for it last time, and this time Yugito and the Two-Tails were also unable to dodge it. Their attention was entirely focused on defending against the attacks of Susanoo and genjutsu.

They overlooked the deadly fangs hidden behind them.

The Sky Blade pierced directly into Yugito Nii's calf, penetrating her Tailed Beast Cloak, penetrating deep into her muscles, and even touching her bone. Then, the enraged Two-Tails violently lashed out the Sky Blade with its tail, not caring if the wound was torn open and widened. After all, Jinchuriki are protected by Tailed Beast Chakra, and as long as it's not a fatal wound, Tailed Beast Chakra can heal it.

However, the real danger was not the Sky Blade.

Shisui didn't expect to defeat the Jinchuriki with this move, otherwise he would have stabbed the heart instead of the calf. However, the heart was too high, and he was worried that it would be blocked, so he simply aimed at Yugito's calf. He successfully outmaneuvered Yugito, causing her agile movements to slow down for a moment.

The emerald green Susanoo disappeared.

Shisui rushed through the wind and snow, arriving in front of Yugito Nii at top speed. He was in a diving posture, with his head tilted back, and he happened to see Yugito Nii fighting with her eyes lowered. The Two-Tails, furious to the extreme, wanted to unleash its full power and reveal its complete tailed beast form. It was really about to go crazy with anger!

It had considered the possibility of being defeated by Uchiha Shisui again, but the defeat was too quick and too hard to accept... However, no matter how it tried, it could not unleash its immense power.

Those peculiar Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, shaped like a windmill with four blades, projected their power into the bodies of Yugito Nii. Not only did they suppress Yugito Nii, but they also violently suppressed the Two-Tails.

Before that sealed cage, Shisui revisited the place he had always known.

He had already been here once before, so the second time was naturally even easier. Faced with his eye technique, the two Yugitos had no power to resist at all. After all, this was a 'spiritual world' modified by [Kotoamatsukami].

Entering and exiting this place is no different from walking into one's own garden, provided that one finds the portal, that is, sees the eyes of the two Yugito. Once one does this, he can easily enter the spirit of the two Yugito.
