Tailed Beast Transformation

BOOM!

The rampaging crimson chakra surged toward the heavens like a pillar of fire!

Karatachi Yagura was enveloped in a fiery red Tailed Beast Shroud, one tail lashing out frantically; he had already entered his Tailed Beast mode!

"Die!"

He roared, as if he had lost his sanity, "All of you are going to die!"

Hyuga Kagami looked Karatachi Yagura up and down. "As expected of a perfect jinchuriki. Even with just one tail, the power released is enough to make one tremble. He wields the power of the Tailed Beast as easily as his own limbs, without a hint of obstruction."

A perfect jinchuriki can not only utilize Tailed Beast chakra.

They can also unleash the unique powers of the Tailed Beast!

That world-destroying power is enough to strike fear into anyone's heart!

"Coral Palm!"

SWISH!

A piercing sound tore through the air as Karatachi Yagura's lightning-fast figure instantly appeared behind Hyuga Kagami.

He slammed a palm fiercely into his back!

But Hyuga Kagami didn't even dodge, a smirk playing on his lips.

BOOM!

A thunderous roar echoed, yet Hyuga Kagami's figure hadn't moved an inch from where he stood!

"Is the power of the Tailed Beast limited to this?"

Heavy coral rapidly spread across Hyuga Kagami's entire body.

Coral Palm is a ninjutsu that traps enemies with heavy coral, rendering them unable to move, but Hyuga Kagami gave his body a slight shake, and the coral vanished completely!

"It seems the strength of the Fourth Mizukage is nothing more than this."

Hyuga Kagami's eyes were filled with excitement as he felt a slight ache in his back.

This feeling... it was a first!

"You're courting death!"

Karatachi Yagura's eyes were filled with madness and brutality. As a Kage-level powerhouse, being provoked by an ordinary ninja was nothing short of a humiliation!

"Tailed Beast Transformation!"

He let out a roar, and the crimson chakra surrounding him grew even more intense!

Two more tails appeared behind him!

This was the human-form Three-Tails Isobu, also known as a partial Tailed Beast transformation.

If it were an ordinary jinchuriki, they would have lost control by now, but Karatachi Yagura was still able to command Three-Tails Isobu!

"To make me unleash a partial Tailed Beast transformation, your strength is worthy of praise!"

Karatachi Yagura sneered, "Next, I will use my greatest strength to completely erase you!"

Facing such a terrifying Karatachi Yagura.

Not a single ninja brought by Elder Gen stepped forward.

They actually left Hyuga Kagami alone to face him!

"Damn it!"

Hatake Kakashi's expression turned grim as he took in the expressions of Elder Gen and the others. "They want us to test the Mizukage's strength; they're using us as pawns!"

"Despicable Mist Village!"

Uchiha Itachi's eyes were cold, his crimson Two-Tomoe Sharingan filled with vigilance. "I fear the Mist ninjas won't let us leave."

The Mist ninjas were surrounding the Mizukage at this moment.

But at the same time, they were surrounding them, preventing them from escaping!

"We cannot get entangled. Once there is an opportunity, we must lure the Mizukage toward where the other Mist Village ninjas are!"

Hatake Kakashi made his judgment.

They could not possibly be a match for the Mizukage, so they had to lure him away!

"No need."

Just then, Hyuga Kagami extended his right hand, and a terrifying, hideous black spiked club appeared in his grip.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a wild, unrestrained grin.

"It just so happens that I haven't had such a hearty, exhilarating fight in a long time. The Mizukage is qualified to be my opponent!"

He also wanted to see.

Just how powerful he had become now that he possessed the Azure Dragon Fruit, Wood Release, and the Sage Body!

Before this, no ninja had been able to withstand a single blow from him.

The Mizukage before his eyes was the perfect whetstone!

"Kagami! Are you sure about this? The person in front of us isn't just some ordinary jonin!"

Hatake Kakashi's expression was grave, his eyes lowered. "The Mizukage is not only a Kage-level powerhouse, but also a perfect jinchuriki who can fully control the power of his Tailed Beast. Even for me, facing the Mizukage would leave me with no choice but to flee!"

The Mizukage's strength was at the pinnacle of the ninja world!

There were very few people in the entire world who could contend with him!

If Hyuga Kagami could truly go head-to-head with the Mizukage... his strength would at least be at the Kage level!

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart rang out!

Hyuga Kagami didn't answer. A flamboyant arc curled at the corners of his lips as he shot toward the Mizukage like an arrow released from a bowstring!

His gaze inadvertently flicked toward the Mizukage Building.

It seemed that... some tactical maneuvering would be required to reach the secret chamber inside the Mizukage Building.

"You're courting death!"

Karatachi Yagura let out a cold shout. "In my semi-Tailed Beast state, I am the strongest person in this world!"

BOOM!

He swung his fists violently, the terrifying Tailed Beast chakra radiating scorching power as it collided with Hyuga Kagami's fists!

A thunderous roar erupted!

It didn't sound like fists colliding; it sounded more like iron and stone!

Hiss!

Karatachi Yagura's scorching Tailed Beast chakra fist landed on Hyuga Kagami's body, causing sizzling smoke to rise.

It was as if the sun were scorching Hyuga Kagami's flesh.

Cyan scales continuously flickered across Hyuga Kagami's body, repelling all of the attacks.

In turn, he unleashed a barrage of terrifying, lightning-imbued punches, smashing them into Karatachi Yagura's body with the destructive force of thunder, paralyzing his opponent!

The two traded blows, neither dodging!

They were like two savage, ancient beasts!

Everyone was stunned, watching the scene in disbelief, their throats bobbing as they swallowed hard.

"Is this the genius of Konoha? He's actually... able to go toe-to-toe with Lord Mizukage!"

"Are these two even human? They're clearly two ferocious beasts!"

"It's too terrifying. We don't have the strength to participate in this battle at all!"

The onlookers' faces turned pale.

Their gazes toward Hyuga Kagami were filled with horror.

Although the Mizukage looked young, he was actually a man of the "grandfather generation" who had been famous for a long time, yet Hyuga Kagami looked... barely twenty years old!

Elder Gen's murky eyes were calm as he stared at Hyuga Kagami, as if contemplating something.

He suddenly spoke up: "Mei Terumi, you know something about Hyuga Kagami, don't you?"

Mei Terumi's beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliant light.

She stared unblinkingly at the battlefield, at the figure unleashing raw wildness and power, flickering with lightning.

He looked like a god of thunder, shining on the battlefield!

Hearing Elder Gen's words, she nodded, her beautiful eyes excited. "Yes. Although Hyuga Kagami is from the Hyuga Branch Family, both his strength and his temperament far exceed those of his peers!"

"You won't find anyone more outstanding than him in the entire ninja world!"

"Whether it's me or Kakashi, we are all eclipsed in his presence!"

Mei Terumi's eyes sparkled as she spoke eloquently.

It was as if she could never run out of things to say about Hyuga Kagami's virtues.

Elder Gen gazed at the lightning-like figure on the battlefield, his murky eyes seemingly seeing through everything.

He suddenly asked: "If I were to suggest a marriage between you and Hyuga Kagami, would you agree?"

Mei Terumi's voice came to an abrupt halt, her pretty face flushing as red as a sunset!

Beside them, Koto Kenichi was dumbfounded. He struggled to stand up, ignoring his injuries, and roared with bloodshot eyes: "Lord Elder Gen, I am the one who loves Mei Terumi the most!"

"Besides, as fellow ninjas of the Mist Village, we are Childhood Sweethearts!"

"If you marry Mei Terumi off to someone from another village, wouldn't that be saying that our Mist Village is inferior!"
