Baki and Kabuto froze, staring at the ninja with long, dark-purple hair who had suddenly appeared.
She wore black Anbu armor, with guards on her arms and a red Anbu emblem on her right shoulder, and held a long sword.
She had a swordswoman's dash and a sorrow weighed down by worries, making her a rather unusual kunoichi.
She had split Baki's Wind Blade with the sword in her hand.
This shocked Baki. His Wind Blade was no simple technique; even an ordinary jonin would never dismantle his wind release attack so easily.
Kabuto recognized the newcomer. "Baki, she's from the Leaf Village Anbu-Uzuki Yugao. Like Gekko Hayate, she excels at swordsmanship."
"Her signature technique is the Crescent Moon Dance!"
"But the strange thing is, her combat ability is at the special jonin level, with jonin-level swordsmanship."
"She certainly shouldn't be capable of blocking a jonin's lethal Wind Style technique."
Kabuto found Yugao's performance strange.
Yugao stood in front of Hayate. Her former self could never have blocked Baki's Wind Style ninjutsu.
Not even after the grueling training she had undergone following Hayate's death.
She had only been able to block Baki's Wind Blade because Liao Wu's Spore had been implanted in her body.
Although that spore sometimes left Yugao in an embarrassing state, wishing she could sink through the floor.
That spore had powerful support abilities, however, with the power to turn someone into a sage.
It was a senjutsu spore formed by combining Liao Wu's senjutsu and Yang Release.
It could provide Yugao with a tremendous boost to her ninja stats, as well as inexhaustible chakra.
The sword in her hand had also been enchanted with Liao Wu's Yin Yang Release, making it exceptionally hard. It would be no exaggeration to call it a chakra weapon specialized in
