Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Pakura quickly formed hand seals, and a gale of wind spewed from her rosy lips, directly blowing the dense cloud of bubbles back.
Fortunately, this technique didn't explode automatically but was controlled by Utakata, otherwise he would have definitely been at a disadvantage.
Seeing that his opponent not only had a Kekkei Genkai but was also skilled in Wind Release, Utakata realized his bubble-style ninjutsu would not be effective.
He decided to go all out, unleashing his Tailed Beast chakra and transforming directly into a small Tailed Beast form. Six dark red tails danced, stirring up gusts of wind.
Swoosh!
In his small Tailed Beast form, Utakata's power surged. He instantly disappeared from his spot and charged towards Pakura, who was standing on the ground.
Countless white papers floated around Konan. She had already made her move when Utakata transformed. Several sheets of paper combined to form shuriken, and a series of rapidly spinning paper shuriken flew towards him...
These paper shuriken were thrown with predictive aim. If Utakata didn't want to get hurt and feel some pain, he couldn't just charge through them.
Utakata, who had not lost his senses, was no masochist. He quickly leaped to dodge, circled around, and then launched another surprise attack.
However, this delay was enough for Pakura to enter Sage Mode and mount a powerful response.
Sage Art: Inorganic Reanimation!
The ground came to life, and four hard arms suddenly shot out, grabbing Utakata's limbs. Then, the surrounding earth surged like a wave, pressing down on him from all sides, as if he were trapped in reinforced concrete.
Utakata struggled with all his might, causing the surrounding ground to shake. His dark red body turned dark purple, and he secreted an acid that could melt gold and stone from his skin, causing white smoke to rise.
Just as Utakata was about to break free, Konan's attack arrived. A dense barrage of kunai, formed from numerous explosive tags, shot out like a torrent!
Boom, boom, boom...
A continuous series of explosions roared, sparks flying and smoke filling the air, reminiscent of the power of the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags.
Utakata was momentarily dazed and enraged by the explosions. But at the critical moment, he had formed a bone-white exoskeleton. Combined with the protection of his Tailed Beast cloak, he only suffered minor injuries.
For a Jinchūriki in Tailed Beast form, minor injuries were insignificant and would heal on their own if left unattended.
Pfft. The enraged Utakata spat out a large amount of whitish acid...
Pakura used her Sage Art to manipulate the ground into a wall to block it, while Konan used a paper wall. Both walls were quickly corroded, leaving many holes of various sizes.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
Six dark red tails suddenly elongated, piercing through the smoke, following closely behind the white acid. They shot towards the two women like spears, a rather sudden attack.
However, the two women were not to be trifled with. Not only were they experienced in battle, but they also had a variety of ways to adapt to the situation.
In Sage Mode, Pakura's perception was sharp, her reflexes were keen, her speed was extremely fast, and her movements were nimble. She dodged the attack directly with her body movement.
Konan, on the other hand, used the properties of her Dance of the Shikigami technique, allowing her body to break down and reform to avoid the attack.
"This is Kirigakure, after all. We shouldn't delay for too long. Let's go all out," Konan said with a cold expression as the rustling papers on the ground reassembled into her form.
"Alright. I'll cover you. Scorch Release is too powerful. It would be bad if we killed him."
As she spoke, Pakura formed hand seals and repeated her previous technique. The ground in all directions came to life once more...
Seeing this, Utakata immediately jumped up, gathered a Tailed Beast Bomb from a high position, and prepared to unleash a powerful attack.
"Don't even think about it!"
Pakura shouted, and with a change of hand seals, a grayish-black stone pillar shot up from the churning ground, striking Utakata heavily on the chin.
This uppercut sent the Tailed Beast Bomb in Utakata's mouth flying into the sky...
Due to its unstable form and unbalanced yin-yang chakra, the Tailed Beast Bomb didn't fly far before exploding.
The explosion was like a clap of thunder. A brilliant white light was dazzling, and rolling shockwaves, carrying a fierce wind, swept in all directions, clearing the surrounding mist.
Below, Konan pressed her hands to the ground. Explosive tags poured from her sleeves like they were free, flowing out as fast as a high-pressure water jet.
An endless stream of explosive tags merged with the ground, which was flowing like a river. They were just waiting for Utakata to land to unleash a series of explosions much more ferocious than before.
However, Utakata was no ordinary ninja. Although he couldn't fly and his descent was inevitable, he shot out a long, white tongue from his mouth.
The tongue, like an arrow, pierced into the nearby rock wall, allowing him to avoid the two women's combined attack.
Sage Art: Wind Howl!
"Woooo..."
Seeing this, Pakura changed her technique. A howling wind sound came from her mouth, and circles of invisible sound waves swept out...
This was a sound-based genjutsu that Pakura had created based on the sound-based genjutsu of Mount Myoboku and Ryūchi Cave, with guidance from Kageyama Kogetsu and her own understanding.
This genjutsu did not have a binding effect but rather disrupted one's balance, making them lose control of their body, just like an ordinary person in a hurricane who cannot control their movements and can only be passively moved by the wind.
After falling under the genjutsu, Utakata's tongue passively retracted into his mouth, and his limbs also temporarily lost control. He fell from the rock wall.
"Well done, Pakura!"
Konan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but praise her. She poured a large amount of chakra from her hands, controlling the explosive tags to emerge from the ground and form into explosive shuriken that shot out...
Boom, boom, boom...
A longer and more violent series of explosions occurred. Under the continuous blasts, the rock wall collapsed, and countless rocks and earth buried Utakata.
After carefully sensing the area, Pakura said, "The target's aura is very weak. It should be done."
"That's good. I'll keep watch for you. Go ahead," Konan said, relieved, in a deep voice.
"Mm."
Pakura used Inorganic Reanimation to move aside the earth and rocks covering Utakata, revealing the now-unconscious man.
Konan cautiously walked over, extended her right hand, and sheets of paper floated out, beginning to wrap him up in an orderly fashion...
"You bastards! Let go of Utakata!"
Terumī Mei rushed over, her face full of anger. Her hands did not forget to form hand seals, demonstrating her impressive ninjutsu skills.
Although the Animal Path's summoned beasts were numerous and quite strong, they couldn't block everyone, especially when the enemy had the home-field advantage.
Under the cover of her subordinates, Terumī Mei was the first to break through the blockade and arrive.
Water Release: Double Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
In Kirigakure, which was surrounded by the sea on all sides, and with a river flowing nearby, it was much easier for Terumī Mei to use Water Release ninjutsu than in a Gobi desert.
Two water dragons quickly shot out from the river, over twenty meters long and seven or eight meters thick. They were lifelike, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they pounced on the two women.
This scene was a rare sight, as all three women were among the very few female Kage-level experts in the ninja world.
Pakura formed hand seals, and a millstone-sized, brilliant white fireball materialized and went to meet them.
Sssss...
When the two collided, the fireball was quickly extinguished, but the water dragons also quickly turned into white steam.
Because she was further away, Konan had more time to react. She directly lifted Utakata and flew into the sky. The water dragons crashed into the ground, causing it to tremble slightly...
"Pakura, you take the target and go first. I'll hold off the Mizukage," Konan said, grabbing Utakata and throwing him towards Pakura.
"Alright."
Pakura was not one to be sentimental. She caught Utakata and turned to leave.
Because Konan could fly, it was easier for her to escape. If she wanted to fly, she would have to summon her man's animal.
"Where do you think you're going!"
How could Terumī Mei tolerate the village's only Jinchūriki being taken away? She rushed towards Pakura at full speed...
Konan waved her hand, and the papers floating around her body formed into shuriken, which she shot at Terumī Mei like a dense rain.
"Damn it!"
Unable to dodge, Terumī Mei had no choice but to deal with the attack...
