Two Monsters

The orange-red Tailed Beast Chakra burned fiercely, completely covering Yugito's body. Her originally restrained aura surged wildly within just a few seconds.

When she had fought Mei Terumi's squad earlier, Yugito had not released all the Chakra within her body. At most, her strength had remained at the Jonin level.
