The terrifying chakra unique to a tailed beast caused Suiren, who had remained composed throughout, to rarely show a look of shock and anger on his face.
Suiren knew Fu's strength all too well. That was precisely why he had deliberately lured her out and sealed her away.
He must obtain the Hero Water, otherwise, facing the Jinchuriki Fu, he would undoubtedly be defeated!
Thinking this, Suiren's gaze locked onto Shibuki's direction, his eyes flickering slightly.
"This chakra... it's the Jinchuriki of Takigakure."
Konan looked at Fu, who was rapidly approaching the group, and couldn't help but lightly furrow her brow.
However, when she saw Yuto beside her with an expression of complete leisure, the concern that had just risen in Konan's heart quickly subsided.
Isobu, the Three-Tails, perched on Yuto's shoulder, gently shook its head.
This chakra... it's that guy, Chomei!
Should I warn him?
Isobu poked its head out of its shell, glancing in the direction of the Seven-Tails Chomei. But when Isobu recalled its own painful experience, it quickly withdrew its head back into its shell while simultaneously concealing its own chakra, a sly glint flashing in its eyes.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind mixed with sharp sounds echoed in everyone's ears.
Under the effect of this wild wind generated by the tailed beast's chakra, the surrounding trees swayed continuously.
At this moment, Shibuki, who was lying on the ground, also clearly felt this chakra. A look of surprise flashed across his previously downcast face.
In just the blink of an eye, Fu had already flown to a position above the group.
Her semi-transparent wings flapped incessantly behind her. When Fu's gaze fell upon the bound Takigakure villagers below, anger appeared on her face.
"Suiren! Not only did you betray your own village, you actually dared to attack it, you bastard!"
Fu's gaze quickly fell upon Suiren, her voice filled with anger and disbelief.
Suiren had been one of the few powerful ninja in all of Takigakure and was the teacher of the new leader, Shibuki.
With such a status, the entire Hidden Waterfall Village could be said to have placed extreme trust in Suiren.
Otherwise, how could Fu have been so easily deceived by Suiren into leaving the village, only to be trapped by him in a place he had already prepared?
But now, Suiren had actually betrayed his village and brought ninja from other villages to attack it. One could imagine Fu's fury.
"Betrayal? I've had enough of this backward village. With the Hero Water, a treasure that can unleash powerful chakra, and you as a Jinchuriki."
"Clearly the village possesses such power. There's no reason we couldn't become the sixth Great Ninja Village, yet we're content to hide behind a waterfall."
"The previous leader kept compromising, reducing the number of ninja in the village so that Takigakure couldn't pose a threat to the other major villages, all to prevent future wars."
"What an utterly foolish reason! In this ninja world, the weak have no right to beg for peace!"
"A village that can barely protect itself has only one outcome! Rather than letting others destroy it, I'll destroy this ninja village myself!"
Suiren's face showed intense emotional turmoil as he let out a low laugh, filled with disdain.
Suiren's voice echoed in everyone's ears, causing the entire surrounding air to fall silent.
Shibuki, who was lying on the ground, saw Fu hesitating in the air and immediately shouted loudly:
"Fu! The Hero Water must not fall into their hands!"
Fu couldn't help but pause for a moment, fell silent for a second, then looked at Suiren and spoke with a firm voice:
"Whether the village's decision was right or wrong, anyone who raises their hand against the people is unforgivable, no matter what reason they have!"
With her words, Fu's wings suddenly vibrated, and her entire body shot downward at extreme speed.
Suiren's gaze sharpened as he gripped his longsword and began to swing it continuously forward.
A series of attacks turned into afterimages—a set of moves that could both defend and attack!
Seeing this, Fu's body still didn't stop, though just as she was about to approach Suiren, her already tremendous speed suddenly increased again.
Fu's entire body seemed to lose all inertia as it instantly shifted to the left. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Suiren.
Just as Fu was about to attack, Suiren, as if he had already predicted it, didn't even turn around as he thrust his sword backward with all his might.
Fu quickly sidestepped, and by the time Suiren's strike landed, he had already turned his body.
"You're just like Shibuki—all this raw power, but far too little combat experience."
Suiren sneered at Fu as he spoke, his hands flying through seals at the same time.
Water Release—Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
Splash!
A rushing stream of water rapidly condensed behind Suiren. In almost the blink of an eye, a water dragon had formed.
With a faint roar, the water dragon charged directly toward Fu.
After launching this attack, Suiren retreated while turning his head to look in Yuto and Konan's direction:
"Are you two still planning to just watch? The three of us should join forces and deal with the Jinchuriki first. Otherwise, none of us will get the Hero Water."
Suiren knew that a single Water Dragon Bullet Technique wouldn't be enough to defeat a Jinchuriki.
However, after saying this, Suiren noticed that the other two hadn't moved at all, still watching quietly as if watching a play.
Damn it!
These two guys must be planning to keep the Hero Water all to themselves!
A loud explosion came from Fu's direction.
Fu's figure easily broke through the Water Dragon Bullet's attack and flew out, charging toward Suiren.
With the power of the Seven-Tails Chomei, Fu could fly freely, possessing mobility that exceeded Suiren's wildest imagination.
The moment the sound of breaking air reached them, Fu's body was already before Suiren.
"You bastard!"
Anger on her face, Fu raised her fist and slammed it directly into Suiren's face.
"The crimes you've committed will be judged by everyone!"
Secret Technique—Scale Powder Camouflage Technique!
Fu opened her mouth, and a large amount of yellow powder sprayed out.
At such close range, this yellow powder easily enveloped Suiren.
"Water Release—Great..."
Suiren's expression changed as he quickly prepared to use a Water Release ninjutsu to wash away the powder.
Unfortunately, he had only formed half the seals when a strong dizziness rushed to his head. Suiren felt his mind go heavy, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Seeing Suiren lying unconscious, Fu breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yuto and Konan.
"Now that his problem is resolved, let's discuss our matter. We didn't harm any of your people."
Yuto smiled lightly, looking at Fu as he spoke.
Fu's body swayed slightly backward before immediately charging toward Yuto and Konan:
"I don't want to kill anyone, but since you two have discovered the entrance to Takigakure, I can't let you go."
Fu's speed was incredible, even faster than when she had fought Suiren.
"Still not friendly, looks like I need to cool you down a bit."
Yuto raised an eyebrow, speaking helplessly.
In the next instant, Yuto had disappeared from his original position.
A heavy thud suddenly came from the front.
Fu, who had been rapidly approaching Yuto and the others, suddenly seemed to have been attacked. Her entire body was blasted away by Yuto's fist, crashing into a large tree nearby.
The tremendous force caused the tree to be snapped in half. Fu looked at her stomach in a daze.
Had it not been for the sharp pain coming from her stomach, she wouldn't have realized where the opponent had struck her.
"Now we can talk, right?"
Yuto looked at Fu, speaking calmly.
Fu flipped back to her feet, a serious expression on her face as she looked at Yuto:
"No wonder you're so confident. So this is how strong you are. But Takigakure isn't so easily bullied!"
Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!
A terrifying chakra instantly surged from within Fu. Dark-red tailed beast chakra covered her entire body, forming a tailed beast cloak.
Seven massive chakra tails swayed behind Fu, giving off a powerful sense of intimidation.
"So, other than Naruto, other Jinchuriki can directly borrow the tailed beast's chakra."
Even with all seven chakra tails out, Yuto could still clearly sense that Fu's will wasn't affected at all.
Even Gaara, that guy with extremely unstable emotions, could use the power of the One-Tails Shukaku with the Feigning Sleep Technique.
As for Naruto, he probably couldn't even withstand the state of three tails.
Fu moved, and the ground seemed to shake as if in an earthquake.
Fu's entire body turned into a red streak and appeared before Yuto in an instant.
The overwhelming chakra enveloped Yuto as Fu thrust her hands, covered in the chakra cloak, onto his shoulders to prevent him from escaping.
At the same time, the seven constantly dancing chakra tails behind Fu continuously bombarded Yuto.
Terrific shockwaves erupted in all directions. The ground beneath their feet began to crack and spread outward under Fu's relentless bombardment.
One explosion after another echoed above Takigakure.
"Is this what Kirigakure ninja are like? Their comrade is under such attack, yet they don't seem worried at all."
At this moment, Shibuki, who had been injured and lying on the ground, slowly stood up. Looking at the calm-faced Konan beside him, he sneered.
