As Uchiha En's voice fell, his entire body transformed into a bolt of lightning. The Kumogakure ninja only saw a flash before they all collapsed.
Yugito didn't expect Uchiha En's speed to be so fast, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
To be honest, Yugito wasn't nervous before. So what if these two had Kage-level strength?
She was a perfect Jinchuriki. With her and the Two-Tails working together, even if they couldn't win, they could still escape.
But Uchiha En's speed made Yugito realize that she had no chance to escape now and could only fight head-on.
So, the Tailed Beast Chakra on Yugito's body began to surge, and her entire body turned dark red.
"En, do you need my help?" Asana asked Uchiha En after seeing the Two-Tails' Tailed Beast Cloak.
"No need. It's just a Two-Tails. It's not a big problem."
With that, Uchiha En activated his Mangekyo, with Magatsu amplifying his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, then concentrated the violent Lightning Release Chakra onto his fingertips.
In truth, Yamanaka Kagetsu had only extracted a portion of Hell Stab from the Third Raikage's mind. Uchiha En's use of this technique was merely similar in form; its power actually relied entirely on Chidori.
But Yugito was still startled when she saw Uchiha En's movements. "This is Hell Stab! Are you from Kumogakure?"
Uchiha En didn't speak and directly launched his attack.
"Yugito, get out of the way quickly! This guy's Hell Stab is too powerful, comparable to the Third Raikage. We can't take it, we can't withstand it," the Two-Tails inside Yugito quickly warned.
Yugito's face changed dramatically upon hearing this, and she turned to run. Unfortunately, she was a little late, and Uchiha En's Hell Stab had already rushed over.
The frantically fleeing Yugito sensed a terrifying Lightning Release Chakra appearing behind her, and her face changed drastically.
The Two-Tails was also startled and immediately said to Yugito, "Yugito, quickly transform into your Tailed Beast form!"
Upon hearing this, Yugito unleashed the Two-Tails' Chakra with all her might, and a large cat burning with black and blue flames appeared.
The Two-Tails fired a Tailed Beast Ball in the direction Uchiha En was coming from.
Seeing this, Uchiha En manifested a blue skeletal fist around himself, then directly crashed into the Tailed Beast Ball.
"Boom~" The Tailed Beast Ball and Hell Stab collided, causing a huge explosion.
The explosion kicked up a large amount of dust, destroying a vast area of forest.
In the smoke and dust, the Two-Tails was hit by the aftershock of Hell Stab and was directly blown away, crashing into a distant mountain wall.
As for Uchiha En, because his Lightning Release Chakra Mode was amplified by Magatsu, the defensive power of his Lightning Release armor was greatly enhanced. Coupled with the protection of Susanoo, Uchiha En did not suffer any serious injuries after directly withstanding the Two-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball; only his Lightning Release armor was broken.
Uchiha En did not repair his Lightning Release armor but instead used another Mangekyo Dojutsu: Inari.
The Lightning Release Chakra Mode, just amplified by Magatsu, had already hit the Two-Tails. Now, with Inari, he could continuously absorb the Two-Tails' Chakra.
Yugito sensed the Two-Tails' Chakra frantically surging towards the masked man, and her face instantly changed drastically.
Yugito manipulated the Two-Tails to get up from the ground and fled desperately.
But soon, Yugito discovered that no matter how hard she tried, the Two-Tails' Chakra continued to drain away.
Half an hour later, the Two-Tails couldn't even maintain its Tailed Beast form.
Uchiha En had also collected enough Two-Tails Chakra. He deactivated his Dojutsu and stored the collected Two-Tails Chakra into a sealing scroll.
"Done?" Asana asked.
Uchiha En nodded.
"Then let's hurry back to the Village! The commotion here wasn't small, and the Two-Tails escaped, so people will probably come looking soon," Asana said.
Uchiha En nodded, summoned Lightning, and fled the scene.
Two hours later, Uchiha En and Asana returned to the vicinity of Konoha.
The two jumped off Lightning's back, but they didn't immediately return to the Village, instead playing nearby for two days.
Because they had flown there on Lightning, by the time calculations, they couldn't immediately return to Konoha.
Two days later, Uchiha En and Asana returned to the Village together.
When Uchiha En and Asana arrived at the Hokage Office, they found that besides Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya was also there.
"Lord Jiraiya, hello!" Asana greeted Jiraiya respectfully.
"Oh, Asana! You seem to have gotten much stronger after some time! Where's Orochimaru? That guy has been..."
"Jiraiya-sensei, please correct your attitude! Aren't you going too far? You went peeping after returning to the Village yesterday and were reported by so many people. What am I, the Hokage, supposed to do?" Minato Namikaze interrupted Jiraiya and said sternly.
"Minato, that wasn't peeping, it was research! Research! Can a writer's business be called peeping?" Jiraiya slammed the table and tried hard to defend his actions.
"Sensei! You keep saying you're a writer, but I haven't seen your books in so long. How about this! As long as you produce a book you've written yourself, I'll take care of this matter for you!"
"You said it! Hehe! I was going to give you this book anyway, here!" With that, Jiraiya pulled out a book from his ninja tool pouch.
Minato Namikaze was stunned, subconsciously taking the book from Jiraiya. He hadn't expected Jiraiya to actually have a book he'd written himself.
"The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja"?
"Hmm, I wrote this when I was bored in my early years. I've only given it to one person; you're the second. Alright, alright! The book's yours, I'm leaving!" With that, Jiraiya fled the Hokage Office as if escaping.
Minato Namikaze sighed helplessly, then turned his gaze to Asana: "Asana, did you bring back the intelligence?"
"I brought it back." With that, Asana handed the intelligence to Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze took the intelligence, quickly scanned it, then murmured to himself, "The Land of Lightning's finances are quite tight recently! No wonder Kumogakure has started taking on missions on a large scale."
"Hokage-sama, I have another piece of intelligence to report," Uchiha En said.
"What intelligence?"
"It's like this: when Asana and I arrived in the Land of Lightning to get the intelligence, we happened to see the Two-Tails Jinchuriki covered in wounds. It seems he was attacked by someone."
The attack on the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was a major event in the context of the recently concluded Third Great Ninja War. Uchiha En's proactive report on this matter was also a way to distance himself in advance.
However, Minato Namikaze didn't know they had flown there on Lightning. Logically, they had no time to commit the act, so Uchiha En was just being cautious.
When Minato Namikaze heard the news that the Two-Tails Jinchuriki had been attacked, he couldn't help but frown.
Had someone already started plotting in the shadows again, just a few months after the Ninja World War ended?
Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze sighed deeply: "Sigh! When will this world truly achieve peace!"
