Chapter 90: Ch 90 : Illusion
The flames surrounding the Makoto gradually dissipated, and the high-altitude wind made his clothes billow loudly.
Below, the two figures—Yugito and her companion—were whispering about something.
"Let's deal with this troublesome guy first," Yugito said, cracking her knuckles and eager to act.
She crouched down, assuming a combat stance.
Sharp claws extended from her fingertips as her gaze locked onto Makoto high in the sky.
In a flash, she left a lingering afterimage where she had been and darted forward at high speed.
Yugito moved swiftly across the battlefield, her figure exceptionally agile.
She climbed up a large tree and then used it to leap high into the air.
Her sharp claws sliced through the air as she aimed straight for Makoto's position.
Makoto watched Yugito, who leaped into the sky to attack him, with an expression of calm.
Her jumping ability was indeed impressive; even with the aid of the tree, ordinary people could never reach his altitude.
Seeing Makoto remain motionless, Yugito assumed he was frozen in fear and sneered.
"Come down obediently, boy!"
Makoto simply shifted his body lightly, effortlessly dodging the attack from Yugito, who could only watch helplessly as they remained within arm's reach yet out of touch.
As She began to fall with no foothold in the air, Yugito twisted her body sharply and gritted her teeth, spitting out a ball of blue flame that shot toward Makoto.
Makoto merely extended a single finger, and the blue flame halted before him, then hovered at his fingertip under his control.
Makoto sensed the unique chakra contained within the flame—it was the chakra of a tailed beast.
With her other hand curled into a claw, Yugito, who was still falling, suddenly felt something holding her up and pulling her toward Makoto.
She tried to break free, but there was nothing around her to push against.
Eventually, she found herself suspended a mere meter away from him.
Makoto said, "With only this much strength, even if you managed to touch me, what could you do?"
Yugito gritted her teeth and snarled, "What kind of jutsu is this, you bastard?"
Makoto smirked. "My understanding of chakra is beyond your imagination."
Staring intently at his cold, aloof face, Yugito suddenly grinned and retorted, "But do you have as much chakra as I do?"
With that, she suddenly opened her mouth and took a deep breath.
The cluster of blue flames hovering around Makoto was instantly sucked into her mouth.
Boom!
A terrifying surge of chakra erupted from Yugito's body, its might as heavy as a mountain and as vast as an ocean!
The previously steady Makoto, suspended in mid-air, immediately felt the surrounding chakra thrown into chaos by the impact.
Losing control, he began to fall.
Yugito let out a roar, and blue flames enveloped her.
From within the flames emerged a massive blue demon cat, its face fierce and menacing.
With a resounding crash, it landed heavily on the ground, shaking the battlefield and stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Jinchuriki?"
"It's a tailed beast!"
"It's the Two-Tails!"
Cries of alarm rose from the Konoha side, and even Shikaku and the others turned pale.
They had thought that destroying the teleportation array would secure their victory, but they hadn't expected the enemy's Jinchuriki to arrive!
The Land of Lightning's Kumogakure possessed secret techniques to control tailed beast.
Every Jinchuriki they produced was a perfect one, capable of unleashing the full power of the tailed beast.
Uchiha Fugaku frowned deeply as he observed the sudden appearance of the blue demon cat on the battlefield.
He pondered how much of his eyesight he might lose if he were to intervene against such a formidable foe.
Meanwhile, Makoto, who had been falling, finally stabilized his position just before reaching the ground.
He manipulated the kunai on the ground to shoot at the approaching enemies, then ascended back into the sky once more.
"Yugito! Take care of the Konoha ninja first!"
Tsuchidai shouted an order to the blue demon cat in the rear.
"Understood!" Despite its current form, the Two-Tails retained a clear mind and immediately responded.
With a mighty leap, its massive body charged into the chaotic battlefield.
Its front paw slammed a Konoha ninja into the ground without hesitation.
"Attack! Attack it!"
"Quick, take it down!"
A barrage of ninja tools rained down on the demon cat.
It opened its massive maw and roared, unleashing a shockwave that knocked the incoming weapons to the ground.
The sound alone was deafening, leaving everyone's ears ringing.
Someone attempted to use Fire Release to attack, but the Two-Tails was already wreathed in flames.
The fire merely brushed against its body like a harmless tickle.
The demon cat opened its massive jaws and formed a giant fireball, hurling it toward the direction of the Konoha ninja.
"Stop it!"
"Quick, block it!"
The Konoha formation instantly descended into chaos.
With the addition of this giant demon cat, the tide of the battle began to shift dramatically.
More Konoha ninja rushed forward.
Water Release techniques surged and rose, forming a massive water wall to intercept the fireball.
The collision of fire and water filled the area with dense steam.
The Konoha ninja managed to block the first fireball with Water Release, but the Two-Tails gave them no time to catch their breath, immediately forming another giant fireball in its mouth.
At that moment, Makoto finally arrived, hovering mid-air in front of the demon cat.
Seeing that Makoto dared to approach, Yugito, fully transformed into the Two-Tails, sneered inwardly.
The heat waves rolled forward, distorting the air with intense heat.
The demon cat's entire body was steaming white vapor.
The enormous fireball locked onto Makoto's position and, with a thunderous roar, shot forward like a cannonball.
The fiery projectile, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave and momentum, seemed intent on reducing everything in its path to ash!
Makoto remained motionless in mid-air.
From below, there were faint cries warning him to dodge, but those voices were quickly drowned out by the roaring approach of the fireball.
Yet, to everyone's astonishment, the fireball did not strike Makoto.
Instead, it narrowly grazed past him and flew off, crashing into an area beyond the battlefield.
Missed?!
Yugito was shocked and doubtful—how could she make such a mistake?
She glared at Makoto, who was still standing calmly in the air, his expression unchanging and indifferent.
His composure only fueled her frustration.
"You damned bastard!" she cursed angrily.
The demon cat roared furiously, preparing to launch another attack at Makoto.
"Yugito!" Tsuchidai's voice rang out at just the right moment, like a warning bell.
This was war—there were greater priorities.
Behind her were countless comrades relying on her strength!
Yugito regained her composure, no longer paying attention to the airborne Makoto.
The demon cat leapt across the battlefield, swiping another Konoha ninja with its massive paw and sending them flying.
"Ahhh—"
A scream echoed, and for a brief moment, Yugito thought she heard that Konoha ninja call her name just before their death.
She ignored it.
Opening her jaws, she unleashed several more giant fireballs, targeting the Konoha ninja in front of her.
This time, those ninja made no attempt to resist and were consumed in the fiery explosions, their lives extinguished.
Yugito felt satisfied with this result.
As long as they won this war, that Konoha guy would meet his inevitable end.
"Yugito!"
"Yugito! What are you doing?!"
This time, she heard it clearly—someone was indeed calling her name.
"Yugito! Why are you attacking our comrades?!"
Tsuchidai's thunderous roar rang out, deafening and filled with fury.
Attacking comrades...
Yugito froze in shock. She looked at the bodies of those who had perished in the flames, only to be horrified to discover they were wearing Kumogakure uniforms.
How... how could this be? She had clearly been attacking Konoha ninja just moments ago!
Her gaze swept across the battlefield before she leapt toward another Konoha ninja nearby, slamming her paw down and killing him instantly.
"No… no, stop! Yugito!"
When Yugito lifted her paw, the body lying beneath it was yet another Kumogakure comrade.
Her mind reeled in shock—she had just killed her own comrades...
Panic began to consume her as the realization sank in.
She screamed internally, desperate for answers.
"Matatabi! Matatabi!"
"Genjutsu! Break the genjutsu for me, quickly!"
The voice of the Two-Tails, Matatabi, responded,
"You're not under a genjutsu. I saw that person just now—they were indeed a Konoha ninja, but suddenly, they turned into a Kumogakure ninja."
"Yugito!"
"Yugito, what's happening to you?!"
"Snap out of it, Yugito!"
The cries of her comrades echoed in her ears, only increasing her fear.
The ninja on the ground began to scatter, all trying to distance themselves from her.
Who are my comrades? Who are my enemies?
Suddenly, Yugito noticed a Konoha ninja among the group of Kumogakure ninjas.
This individual stood out, not taking any action while remaining with the Kumogakure ninjas.
It was a flaw!
Yugito's heart leapt with joy!
She believed it was the enemy's trick, having disguised her comrades as enemies and herself as one of them, but this time, they hadn't managed the disguise well enough!
Grinding her teeth, she snarled, "Matatabi! You saw clearly, right?"
Matatabi responded affirmatively, "Yes!"
Dark red chakra began to gather in the demon cat's mouth, condensing into a solid ball.
Everyone could feel the terrifying power contained within it!
She felt that all sounds around her vanished, and the "Kumogakure ninjas" in front of her were waving, with more people stumbling and trying to flee!
She couldn't hear the sounds, but she believed the enemies were begging for mercy and attempting to escape!
"Damned Konoha!"
The demon cat suddenly swallowed the Tailed Beast Ball, and when it opened its mouth again, a blinding energy beam erupted, obliterating everything in its path!
Boom!
Where the Tailed Beast Ball passed, it tore a massive trench in the ground, and the cliffside was nearly split apart!
The bodies of the fallen were completely gone, leaving only the remnants of battle—scattered ashes and smoke.
"Yugito... have you... gone insane?"
A voice suddenly pierced through Yugito's ears.
She turned her head, and in the battlefield, there were only a few Konoha ninja left, all staring at her, while the Kumogakure ninjas were barely a hundred.
The Kumogakure ninja looked at her with eyes full of fear.
At that moment, Makoto's figure slowly came into view, still hovering high in the air.
Yugito noticed that the air in front of him seemed slightly distorted, making it hard for her to clearly see him, but it quickly returned to normal.
"It's over, Two-Tails."
All around her lay the bodies of the fallen, rivers of blood, and the half-destroyed corpse of the Kumogakure commander, Tsuchidai.
Yugito's pupils dilated slightly, her mind momentarily in a daze.
What happened? Didn't she just eliminate a large group of enemies...?
In the silent battlefield, Yugito's shrill scream suddenly echoed.
