At this moment, Yugito Nii finally realized the seriousness of the situation. This was the first time she had been controlled by genjutsu since becoming a jinchūriki.
"What kind of genjutsu is this?"
Looking at Itachi, who was surrounded by red and black, Yugito Nii asked in a deep voice.
Itachi, holding a katana in his hand, said calmly, "For the next seventy-two hours, you can enjoy learning about what kind of genjutsu this is!"
On the other side, after Dodai was scared by Izumi's strange movements and hid underground, Izumi was on guard against his attack.
However, after waiting for a while, Dodai still didn't appear. Izumi turned her attention to the other enemies who were fighting.
At this time, besides Itachi and Yugito Nii, Izumi and Dodai, the other ninjas from Konoha and Kumogakure were also fighting fiercely.
Because of their numerical advantage, Kumogakure was currently winning. But because of the "First Aid Seal," Konoha's losses weren't significant.
Since her opponent had been scared and didn't dare to show himself, Izumi decided to go and support her comrades.
Seeing a clan member who was being surrounded by three Kumogakure ninjas, and the situation was becoming very dangerous, Izumi activated "Kōdo Shunshin" and appeared behind one of the Kumogakure ninjas.
Feeling a gust of wind behind him, the Kumogakure jōnin quickly turned around and raised his sword to block.
However, a dazzling pink sword flash appeared. The Kumogakure jōnin's katana snapped in two, and his head flew off his body.
"What?!" The other two Kumogakure jōnin were shocked. They were about to send one of them forward to deal with Izumi, but they found that she had disappeared.
The Uchiha ninja who had been rescued by Izumi was relieved and also shocked by her shadowless movements.
"This Body Flicker Technique is even better than the 'Shunshin no Jutsu' of the former 'Shunshin Shisui,' isn't it?" the Uchiha ninja thought to himself.
Because Izumi was too fast, he hadn't noticed the Mangekyō Sharingan in her eyes. He thought she was using the Body Flicker Technique.
Dodai, who was hiding underground, saw this and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
From Izumi's actions, he had already realized that she wasn't using the Body Flicker Technique. She was using some kind of ability activated by the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"No, I have to hold her off first. Otherwise, the other ninjas on my side will be in danger! I hope Yugito Nii can quickly defeat that Uchiha boy and come to support me."
Thinking this, Dodai immediately emerged from the ground. However, what he didn't expect was that Yugito Nii, whom he had pinned his hopes on, was in trouble herself.
"Lava Release: Protective Membrane Sphere."
Seeing Izumi about to sneak attack another Kumogakure ninja, Dodai immediately used his Lava Release jutsu, "Protective Membrane Sphere," to surround his target with yellow, viscous substance.
However, this time, he didn't use the "Protective Membrane Sphere" to surround the Kumogakure ninja that Izumi was about to attack, but Izumi herself.
He knew that his "Protective Membrane Sphere" couldn't withstand the blade in Izumi's hand. Therefore, he could only use this method to block her movements.
Seeing Dodai jump out of the ground, Izumi was about to continue dealing with this old opponent.
At this time, a loud bang suddenly came. Powerful chakra erupted, attracting the attention of all the ninjas present. Even the two sides who were fighting stopped for a moment.
"That's the Two-Tails demonic cat! The jinchūriki has transformed into the tailed beast!" An Uchiha ninja exclaimed.
They saw a huge blue demonic cat suddenly appear on the ground in the valley. It was staring intently at the calm young man in front of it.
At this time, Dodai noticed that the boy named Uchiha Itachi's eyes weren't the usual tomoe-shaped pattern of the Sharingan.
"Another Mangekyō Sharingan!" Dodai was surprised and had a bad feeling.
He had hoped that Yugito Nii would quickly defeat her opponent and come to support him. But now, it seemed that Yugito Nii was in trouble too.
Sure enough, Yugito Nii's next words confirmed Dodai's worries.
"Dodai, we have to retreat! Also, don't look into that boy's eyes." Yugito Nii's voice came from inside the demonic cat. But from her voice, everyone could hear a sense of weakness.
Just now, Yugito Nii had been tortured in Itachi's "Tsukuyomi" world for seventy-two hours.
Yugito Nii was considered a ninja with strong willpower, but she felt like she could faint at any moment.
She forced herself to transform into the tailed beast, hoping to escape this place before completely losing her ability to resist.
Hearing Yugito Nii's words, Dodai knew that their operation had completely failed. He and Yugito Nii were no match for those two Uchiha clan boys and girls.
Dodai didn't hesitate. He immediately called for the Kumogakure ninjas to retreat quickly.
"Yugito Nii, you go first. I'll cover your retreat."
Dodai knew the significance of a jinchūriki to a ninja village. He couldn't let anything happen to her.
With a loud shout, Dodai quickly formed hand seals and pressed them against the ground. He immediately drew on half of his chakra and released a powerful area-of-effect jutsu.
"Lava Release: Protective Membrane Barrier!"
From Dodai's palm, the soil and rocks on the ground all transformed into the yellow, viscous substance of his Lava Release. The range was still expanding.
As the jutsu was completed, the yellow, viscous substance on the ground surged wildly, like hundreds of tentacles, wrapping around the Konoha ninjas.
For a moment, the Konoha vanguard ninjas could only dodge quickly, unable to pursue the retreating enemy.
A few ninjas who were slower were entangled by the tentacles formed by the yellow, viscous substance. The tentacles quickly solidified into rubber-like material, completely immobilizing these ninjas.
It was clear that they couldn't break free on their own. They could only wait for their comrades to rescue them.
"Trying to run?" Itachi snorted coldly, looking at Yugito Nii, who was quickly escaping.
Turning to Izumi in the distance, Itachi shouted, "Izumi!"
Izumi, who had been working with Itachi for a long time and had a telepathic connection with him, immediately understood what he meant. She activated "Kōdo Shunshin" and appeared beside Itachi. She placed her hand on his shoulder.
The next moment, Izumi and Itachi appeared above the fleeing Two-Tails demonic cat.
"Susanoo!"
As soon as Itachi finished speaking, a giant red warrior made of chakra formed above the Two-Tails demonic cat.
In front of everyone's shocked gazes, this giant red warrior raised its red sword and slashed down at the Two-Tails demonic cat.
The Two-Tails demonic cat felt the slash coming from above. It immediately dodged and turned to raise its blue flame-covered cat paw to counterattack, hoping to force the opponent back.
