But there was something Karatachi Yagura and his sister had concealed: while Yuzuki controlled the Three-Tails, her own life force would drain away faster.
Merely controlling the sealed Three-Tails had already cost Yuzuki several years of her lifespan. If she controlled the fully manifested Three-Tails, even she was unsure whether she would survive. This was also why Karatachi Yagura had kept hesitating.
The two had concealed this because once the high command learned of it, Yuzuki's value would drop considerably. They would place less importance on her and provide less help to Karatachi Yagura, let alone make him the Fourth Mizukage.
When Karatachi Yagura came out onto the deck, Yuzuki was already standing at the bow, looking ready to begin at any moment.
But seeing his sister like this made Karatachi Yagura's heart ache even more, as though needles were piercing it.
Yet things had already reached this point, and Karatachi Yagura could no longer afford to hesitate.
So he summoned his subordinates. Once he learned that everyone else was ready, Karatachi Yagura gave the order to begin, his heart filled with pain.
Yuzuki smiled gently, then let out a roar. Pale blue chakra erupted from her entire body, shooting straight into the sky.
At the same time, the water beneath the ship began to change, churning constantly and whipping up considerable wind and waves.
Seeing this, Karatachi Yagura hurriedly shouted:
"Everyone, stay alert! The Three-Tails is about to come out!"
Watching this, Ye Feng found it somewhat familiar. Yukimaru seemed to have used the same ability in the original story, and this woman had the same green hair and purple eyes as Yukimaru.
Presumably, this woman was Yukimaru's mother, though judging by the timing, Yukimaru probably had not been born yet.
Yukimaru was a character Ye Feng felt sorry
