Minamoto Takuya vs. Two-Tails Yugito (Part 1)

"Directly entering Half-Tailed Beast Transformation?!"

Minamoto Takuya's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at Yugito, whose chakra surged wildly and whose form had drastically changed. A chill ran through his heart.

He instantly understood that this seemingly aloof Cloud Village elite Jinchuriki cared far more deeply for her comrades than he had expected.

His actions just now, dealing with her companions, had already crossed the line of what she could tolerate and ignited her heaven-scorching fury.

"Heh, so what?" A cold smile curled across Minamoto Takuya's lips.

The gulf between enemies was inherently impossible to cross. Did he need to care whether he had provoked a ferocious beast guarding its nest?

Enemies were meant to be ground into dust beneath each other's oppression!

Before the thought had even settled, Yugito's crimson figure suddenly blurred before his eyes and vanished!

So fast! Alarms blared in Minamoto Takuya's mind.

Her speed had indeed surpassed the limit of what his eyes could track without the Sharingan.

However, the instant his mind sank into sensory perception, Mind's Eye of the Kagura spread out like an invisible net. He had marked her chakra from the very beginning, and now none of her movements could escape his senses.

Using the towering trunks around them as footholds, Yugito streaked through the air. Accompanied by a piercing howl that tore through the air, she pounced down at him from above, fangs bared!

"Mysterious Peacock Method: Dragon Snake!"

Minamoto Takuya completed his hand seals almost at the same moment his senses locked onto her.

Vast chakra erupted from his body, condensing and taking shape in an instant to become a savage giant python!

The python raised its head and hissed, its scales distinct as it surged upward with terrifying force, charging straight at the half-transformed Yugito beneath the heavens!
