Ao was dead!

Six-Tails: Saiken.

A giant slug with six milky-white tails.

Its body was covered in highly corrosive mucus, and its chin had several vents capable of releasing a dissolving liquid.

Its special ability was a strongly acidic Lava Release similar to Mei Terumi's.

Its jinchuriki was Utakata, Kirigakure's bubble ninja.

By combining his Bubble Technique with his tailed beast's traits, Utakata had developed various bubble abilities:

Exploding Bubbles, Strong Acid Bubbles, Bubble Clone, and more.

Yagura did not possess those bubble abilities.

Yet now, he had actually used them!

Their corrosive power was so great that even Guy's Golden Bell Shield had nearly failed to withstand it.

There was only one explanation.

Yagura had become the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and inherited its acid!

Where was Utakata?

The thought flashed through Guy's mind, but he did not dwell on it.

Perhaps Utakata had lost his qualification to be a jinchuriki. Perhaps he had died.

But that no longer mattered.

The situation before him was what Guy needed to focus on!

Mei Terumi, wielder of two kekkei genkai.

Kisame, a tailed beast in human form.

The one-eyed Ao.

Yagura, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki and Fourth Mizukage.

And Guy had two children with him: Kimimaro and Haku.

In this situation, Guy had to be extremely careful.

"Might Guy, hand over Samehada and the Kubikiribōchō and surrender. We can spare your life," Yagura said expressionlessly.

Guy smiled faintly at his words.

"Those terms sound a little more believable."

Yagura had said they would spare him, not let him go. That sounded like the truth.

"Might Guy! Don't make us do this the hard way! You have no chance against us! Surrender!" Ao said coldly.

Guy glanced ahead and behind him.

He was surrounded on both sides, and this was Kirigakure territory.

No matter how he looked at
