Picking a fight with the Tsuchikage

Mangekyō so terrifying it's almost frightening; only those who can truly see these eyes will understand the eeriness of this Dōjutsu.

Looking directly into Yang Xing's eyes, Deidara finally understood what fear was.

His eyes trembled, revealing a look of horror. He stood frozen in place, watching Yang Xing approach, watching as the other drew closer and closer.

Deidara, trembling, raised one hand. "Clay..."

Unfortunately, the Ninjutsu failed to activate. Yang Xing's whisper immediately made him tremble and he knelt down on the ground.

"Tsukuyomi!"

"Aaaaah!" Deidara cried out in pain, collapsing to the ground, his body convulsing, completely incapable of fighting anymore.

"Tsukuyomi, Soul Imprint!" With a jolt, Yang Xing activated another simplified version of the Soul Seal, an ability unique to his Dōjutsu.

Right now, the best thing to do is to make this guy fully understand his own strength.

Those eyes swirled, and the Yang Xing Dōjutsu was emitting a terrifying black Chakra.

Just as they were about to envelop Deidara's body, someone suddenly stepped forward and stopped them.

"That's enough, he's already lost, what else do you want to do?"

Seeing Kurotsuchi block his black Chakra path, Yang Xing immediately withdrew his Mangekyō, his expression calm as he stared intently at Deidara, who lay trembling on the ground before him. "Now you understand, right? I'll give you a few days to consider. After I've spoken with the Tsuchikage, you must give me an answer."

As Yang Xing turned and left, Deidara's face showed a hint of resentment. He gritted his teeth, his expression grim, and stared intently at Yang Xing's retreating figure.

This match was never going to be a game of suspense.

Guren was particularly interested in the Dōjutsu that Yang Xing hadn't used at the end. Seeing Yang Xing approach, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master, what was that Ninjutsu?"

"The power of Mangekyō."

"Even Nagato's Rinnegan couldn't have this ability?" Konan frowned and chimed in, "Were you trying to do something to his mind just now?"

"Who knows?" Yang Xing shrugged, offering no explanation.

Frowning, Konan realized that she was the one who couldn't see through Yang Xing's abilities the most. Having some understanding of the Rinnegan, she also knew that Yang Xing's Mangekyō was not as simple as just a simple Mangekyō.

This guy just now clearly tampered with the other person's soul. If Kurotsuchi hadn't stopped him, the consequences would probably have had a serious impact on the boy.

Where did Yang Xing, with such terrifying abilities, finally appear now?

Moreover, the fact that it had never been used on her filled Konan with a strange feeling.

The weather was clear; this was the second day since arriving in Iwagakure.

Summoned by the Tsuchikage, Yang Xing went alone to the room where the Tsuchikage was hosting him.

"I'm sorry, Lord Tsuchikage, only Lord Yang Xing is here. The rest of you, please wait here." The ninja said respectfully, but it was clear that one person wouldn't agree to such a request so easily.

"Hey, is the Tsuchikage up to something?" Tsunade glanced around, her face icy. "If this is an ambush, I won't let you off the hook."

"Lady Tsunade, the Lord Tsuchikage only genuinely wants to talk to Lord Yang Xing; he won't lay an ambush."

"Only a fool would believe you, you..."

"Forget it, even if they wanted to ambush me, that old Tsuchikage knows perfectly well that no one can ambush me." Yang Xing stopped Tsunade and went inside first.

This made Tsunade frown deeply. Standing outside the door, her face was very cold and her mind was tense. She was determined to be the first to rush in if anything happened.

Yang Xing walked down the corridor and came to a room.

The room was empty except for Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who was sitting cross-legged, and two other people.

Both were unfamiliar faces, but the aura of Chakra between them made Yang Xing vaguely sense that something was wrong.

With more Chakra than a typical Jonin, and this eerie aura, Yang Xing, who possessed the Mangekyō, clearly understood that these two were likely Jinchūriki from the Land of Earth.

"Kid, have a seat." Seeing Yang Xing enter, Tsuchikage spoke first after closing the door, pointing at the two and saying, "Let me introduce you."

"Jinchūriki, right?" Before the Tsuchikage could finish speaking, Yang Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the two of them, and said with a faint smile, "Chakra, indeed a lot. As expected of someone who possesses Tailed Beast."

Although Ōnoki was slightly surprised, he quickly recovered. "Looks like you already knew. Yes, this is Yukari, who has Four-Tails, and this is Fan, who has Five-Tails."

Fan was extremely serious, sitting upright and facing Yang Xing, he nodded slightly in greeting.

The man named Zi, however, clearly looked unwilling.

Completely disregarding his status as the Tsuchikage, he sat lazily and said, "Hey, old man, you called us over saying you had something very important to discuss, but all we got was to see this brat? It's just a brat, yet you call it important? Is it really fun to lie to us like this?"

"Purple, this guy is no ordinary brat." The Tsuchikage said with a grim face, "He's the one who sealed the Nine-Tails."

"Ha, old man, what nonsense are you spouting now? A child sealing the Nine-Tails? That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in days." Zi clearly didn't believe it and found it laughable, so she stood up directly. "Enough, I'm going back now. Staying here is a waste of time. I don't want to see your face at all."

The Tsuchikage's expression darkened, and he was about to get angry when he saw someone stand up. He immediately suppressed his words and looked at Yang Xing's movements in front of him.

"I'm sorry, you can go back, but could you leave your Tailed Beast behind first?"

Yang Xing's calm words made Zi, who was about to leave, stop in her tracks.

"Kid, who are you talking to? I don't know where you got it from, but let me tell you, I don't have time for your nonsense." People who possess Tailed Beast are indeed eccentric. Seeing Yang Xing blocking her way and being threatened by such a brat, Zi's face turned furious. She raised her fist and threw it directly.

Unfortunately, his fist, which had been rushing forward, suddenly stopped just one centimeter away from Yang Xing's cheek.

As if time had stood still, in that instant, Zi's body began to change.

His legs trembled, his eyes began to shift, and he stared into the other person's eyes, unable to utter a word. At that moment, he couldn't even move a single finger.

Yang Xing's voice, which had a hint of demonic power, made his face turn pale.

"Should I remove that thing from inside you?"

"You, you..." Raising his head, the Four-Tails Jinchūriki was clearly in a bad temper, his eyes filled with hatred, showing that he did not want to admit defeat so easily.

Yang Xing didn't waste any words either, his Mangekyō Sharingan spinning even faster, his pupils becoming incredibly deep.

"Kid, stop!" Tsuchikage tried to stop him, but it was too late.

"Aaaaaah!"

Trembling all over, Zi, who was kneeling on the ground, began to change. Her Chakra burst forth from her body and could not be suppressed at all, transforming into a physical form.

Slowly, signs of Tailed Beast Transformation began to appear again.
