"Alright, that's enough!"
As soon as the music stopped, Sakura immediately called for everyone to stop. She felt like throwing up by now — she'd managed to survive those muscle-bound dancers earlier, but Guy in his green spandex suit flashing that toothy grin? That was just too much.
"Eh? It ended already?"
Guy looked disappointed. "I feel my youth burning with passion! Why don't we do another round?"
"No thanks. Youth should be about training hard, not dancing all the time!" Sakura instinctively covered her mouth. The memory of Guy's dance came flooding back — and so did the nausea.
"That's right — and Guy, you didn't even stick to your original plan. So it's time for your punishment!"
Kakashi was quick to change the subject. If Lee started another dance routine, Kakashi felt like he'd have to go reunite with Obito, Rin, and his teacher sooner rather than later.
"Oh right. Youth allows no slack! Next, I'll do three thousand push-ups. If I can't finish, then I'll throw and catch dumbbells with both hands a thousand times!"
Guy's eyes burned with passion. But before leaving, he added, "If there's another competition like this next time, make sure to tell me for sure!"
"Sure, sure, definitely will!"
Finally getting rid of Guy, Sakura sighed in relief. She grinned mischievously, waved her hand, and used the power of the [Reality Stone] to duplicate thousands of photos of the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee dancing enthusiastically, tossing them directly toward the Cloud Village ninjas.
"Just dropped by and didn't bring anything special, so here are some photos as souvenirs. These are precious shots of your great Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee. They're one-of-a-kind treasures only I possess, so be sure to keep them safe and don't lose them!"
"Ugh…"
Reminded by Sakura and seeing the flushed expressions on the Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee in the photos thrown at them, the Cloud Village ninjas were already heaving again.
"See? My method is super effective. Not only did it hit their minds, but also tortured their bodies. Look how badly they're throwing up now. If we launched an attack, they'd definitely lose!"
Sakura proudly reported her achievement to Shikaku, but hearing this, Shikaku couldn't help twitching his lips.
"Yeah, you really hit both their bodies and minds. But the critical issue is, your technique doesn't distinguish friend from foe. The enemy might be helpless, but we've lost our attacking ability too!"
"Er, this... this was a mistake, purely a mistake!"
Sakura laughed awkwardly. Indeed, this move affected both sides — it damaged the opponent, but also struck back at her own side. It was practically a battlefield-wide attack-style move.
"Damn Konoha ninja, how dare you defile the honor of Raikage-sama and Killer B!"
Yugito stood tall, glaring angrily at Sakura and her group. Red tailed beast chakra surged around her body, radiating a sinister aura.
"A jinchuriki of Two-Tails? Impressive, but if you want to be cute, you should behave like the little kitten you are!" Sakura said calmly, her words igniting fury in Matatabi.
"Who are you calling a kitten?" A deep voice rumbled from Yugito's body, filled with rage.
"This is... this is Two-Tails' consciousness."
The ninja of Cloud Village all wore fearful expressions. Though Yugito was well-accepted in Kumogakure, people still felt an instinctive fear of tailed beasts deep inside.
"Did I say anything wrong? Your true form *is* just a little kitten after all—a blue-black one too. That kind of bloodline is quite rare!" Sakura showed no fear. Tailed beasts may be terrifying, but only to common ninja. The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan had strong suppression against tailed beasts. Shisui Uchiha on her side possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, whose dojutsu ability, Kotoamatsukami, was an overpowered technique. Even if Matatabi truly lost control and fully transformed into her tailed beast form, it would only take a glance from Shisui to subdue her.
Even if Shisui didn't want to reveal his Mangekyo Sharingan, Sakura still had the Mind Stone, which had the power to control minds. Against creatures vulnerable to spiritual attacks like tailed beasts, it remained a deadly weapon.
"Kid, you've made me angry."
Two-Tails Matatabi's voice was filled with wrath. Never before had anyone dared to mock her like that—calling her a "kitten" of all things!
"Tsk, you're just a pet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths for his descendants. You really think you're something special." Sakura scoffed disdainfully, saying something that infuriated Matatabi yet left her speechless. "A single Sharingan can completely suppress you. Tell me, what else could you be besides a pet left behind by the Six Paths Sage? Matatabi!"
Sakura didn't actually speak those last two words aloud; she merely formed them silently with her lips. But even that silent gesture caused Yugito's expression to change drastically.
"Matatabi, how does *she* know your name too, Yugito?" Yugito exclaimed in shock. According to what Matatabi had told her, names held special significance for tailed beasts. Unless someone was recognized by them, others generally only knew them as "Two-Tails," "Three-Tails," etc.
"What?" Matatabi, still deeply contemplating Sakura's earlier words and already doubting the old man Sage of Six Paths, was also shocked upon hearing this.
"She didn't say it out loud, but based on what I know about lip reading, she definitely formed your name with her lips!"
As a jonin, Yugito naturally had studied lip reading skills, though not particularly well. However, she could still recognize simple words like a name.
"That's impossible! She never interacted with me before—there's no way she could know my name!"
Matatabi said gravely. The names of the Tailed Beasts weren't meant to be known by everyone. Take Yugito and Killer Bee as examples — even if someone knew the name of a Tailed Beast sealed inside another person, they'd keep it to themselves.
