This was a sudden attack from the iron-clad ninja with a tail from Konoha, a stroke of genius.
But as the saying goes, "Archers don't use bows," Haori, although he had drawn his bow and arrow and struck a pose like an archer, was actually just putting on a show for Shizune Yūgao next to him.
Look at how he plays with Lightning Release. Other Lightning Release ninjas would probably take two lifetimes to learn what he does.
To put it simply, the principle behind this archery was still the same as an electromagnetic railgun: electromagnetic launching, but with reduced power and extended range.
Haori hadn't practiced this long-range shot even once, but he could guarantee his accuracy. Because he was using a super-advanced electromagnetic guidance system. After a series of high-speed calculations, whether it was calculus, air resistance, or ballistic calculation and correction, it was almost instantaneous. If there wasn't strong interference, the iron arrow's trajectory would never deviate.
Haori had reached the legendary realm of hitting whatever he aimed at.
And although it was slow, that was compared to a super electromagnetic railgun with an initial speed of Mach 3 and constant acceleration. In reality, the iron arrow, flashing with lightning, was already too fast for anyone to react.
The sound of "whoosh" was the iron arrow piercing the air. The sound of "plop" brought the sensation of impact.
It wasn't about determination or willpower, those pretentious things. Haori didn't think it was something high-level like willpower. Participating in war, ending war, it was just his thought. He had this thought, so he had this action.
So, for Haori now, the enemy was the enemy. No distinction between loli and shota. If he had to do it, he wouldn't hesitate.
So, Yūgao Uzuki fell backward directly…
If you looked up from the ground, you could see the iron arrow that was stuck in her, standing upright, still flashing with irregular arcs of electricity.
"Yūgao!!"
The sudden change caught Samui off guard. She was stunned for a moment, then she cried out!
Don't even mention Samui. Even Minato and Chōji Akimichi were stunned. This was probably the first time they had seen a ninja do long-range precision sniping. They hadn't heard of anything like that before.
Is this even a ninja?
Samui couldn't believe that Yūgao was dead like that. She was a Jinchūriki, after all.
In fact, she was right. To kill a Jinchūriki from that distance was probably even harder than killing the Raikage.
The only regret was that none of the Konoha ninjas knew that this young female ninja named Yūgao Uzuki was a Jinchūriki.
Even if Haori knew what the Two-Tails Jinchūriki looked like, with her recognition, it was impossible for him to know what the Two-Tails Jinchūriki looked like as a child.
"Be careful. She's not dead yet!"
Minato reminded them, his voice loud. This was also a notification to the other two who were still hidden.
Besides the fact that archers don't use bows, there's another ironclad fact: archers' luck isn't much better than spearmen's.
As soon as Minato's voice fell, Yūgao Uzuki, who had fallen to the ground, spoke again. But compared to before, her voice was weak and listless.
"Samui, run…"
It was a warning to her teammate.
Samui stopped instantly. It wasn't because Yūgao's words were so effective. It was because as soon as she finished speaking, chakra with strange blue and black patterns surged out of her body.
Then, Yūgao's body was pulled up like a puppet in a strange posture. Then, she stood on her feet, but her upper body leaned forward. Her arms and hands hung limply.
Haori's iron arrow, which should have pierced her forehead, was only stuck in her shoulder. But the arrow's enormous force still caused a large area of her chest to collapse and cave in. In terms of injuries, this was undoubtedly a fatal wound. You could tell with the naked eye that her internal organs and bones were severely damaged… If there hadn't been an external force, the hit wouldn't have been so off.
This external force was the tailed beast.
Previous statement retracted. Haori's realm was still stuck at the level of hitting whatever he aimed at.
Then, without Yūgao doing anything, the iron sand arrow was pulled out of her shoulder inch by inch. Then, with a clang, it fell to the ground, turning back into iron sand.
At this time, Samui gritted her teeth and turned to retreat. The situation was irreversible now, but if she had notified them in time, perhaps there was still hope for Yūgao.
Minato and the others were completely focused on Yūgao. They didn't have time to pay attention to Samui.
Whether or not Yūgao would be able to become a Jinchūriki who could control the tailed beast's power in the future, at this age, she was still in the process of learning how to control it.
So, it was still a case of the Jinchūriki losing control and the tailed beast going berserk. When the Jinchūriki is near death, tailed beast transformation is a very high-probability event. So, the current situation wasn't strange. It was actually a reasonable situation.
"Tailed beast transformation… She's a Jinchūriki. Everyone be careful." Minato reminded them again.
Actually, they didn't need him to remind them at this point. Anyone with eyes could see what was going on.
And they already knew whose Jinchūriki it was. They didn't know her name was Matatabi, but they knew it was the Two-Tails.
Even without mentioning the chakra characteristics, it was obvious. After all, Kumogakure only had the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails.
Yūgao had already put both hands on the ground. Her entire body was lying flat on the ground. Then, as chakra continued to surge out of her, her figure disappeared. Then, a blue and black striped, claw-footed, Level 1 protected feline appeared in front of Minato's squad.
Then, there was a loud, sharp roar.
The Two-Tails had an unconventional, ink-wash style… Only someone's later Super Beast Pseudo-Painting could match its style.
The giant cat demon's two tails swished. It didn't pay any attention to Minato and the others in front of it. Instead, it opened its mouth towards the direction from which the arrow had come, where Haori and the others were.
It just wanted to spit out a black ball.
It was clear that tailed beasts are very vengeful. It had almost been killed along with its Jinchūriki. So, the first thing it did after appearing was to take revenge.
And it was going to take major revenge. It was going to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball.
But what was faster than its Tailed Beast Ball was two more of those lightning arrows!
Considering that the Tailed Beast Ball doesn't seem to be a movement skill, and its size was incomparable to before, it wouldn't be able to dodge it at all.
The two iron arrows pierced completely through the Two-Tails' left eye!
The extreme pain caused the Two-Tails to let out a roar different from its previous angry roar. Haori's hit achieved unprecedented results.
However, it wasn't enough because he didn't manage to interrupt the skill.
The Tailed Beast Ball was heading straight for Haori and Shizune Yūgao.
This was an unavoidable attack. So… dodge! Dodge! Dodge!
Haori was about to give himself a dodge buff, and at the same time, he had already reached out to Shizune Yūgao next to him.
This meant that he was going to electrocute his teammate again… Fortunately, this squad was called Minato's squad, not Haori's squad. So, Shizune Yūgao avoided a tragic fate.
Minato instantly appeared in front of Haori and Shizune Yūgao. Then, he placed his hands on both of them and instantly teleported them away.
As soon as the three of them returned to Chōji Akimichi, Shizune Yūgao raised his hand. A massive, black cloud of bugs enveloped the entire tailed beast.
He knew it was a drop in the bucket, but he still took action. He would absorb some chakra first. Any weakening he could achieve was a good thing.
Then, a huge explosion came from afar. A blinding light flashed.
