"So fast!" Yukito said in amazement.
Hitani shook off the blood on the knife and looked at Yukito expressionlessly.
Uchiha Itachi next to him explained, "His name is Hitani, a new member who joined the organization recently. You should have felt that there is no chakra in his body."
"...What do you want to say?" Yu Muren said with an unpleasant expression.
"Although he is a newcomer, don't underestimate him. His fighting style is completely different from that of regular ninjas. So, you'd better transform into a tailed beast from the beginning; otherwise, you won't even have the chance to show your full strength." Yukito immediately said angrily, "Are you underestimating me, Uchiha Itachi? I am the third strongest ninja in the Hidden Cloud Village! Even the Raikage said that I am a rare female ninja.——"
Whoosh!
Before he could finish his words, Hitani had already appeared behind Yukito in an instant, and mercilessly slashed at the back of Yukito's head.
"So fast!" Yu Muren was startled and reacted immediately, rolling sideways to avoid the knife.
Although she avoided the fatal blow, her right arm was still cut, and a deep cut that could be seen to the bone appeared on her shoulder, and blood flowed out.
"Speed-type ninja?" The wooden man said, covering his wound with a grin.
"I remind you once again, it is best to use your full strength." Itachi Uchiha next to him said again, "If you think Mr. Hitani is just a physical ninja, then you are wrong. If you still insist on not transforming into a tailed beast, then I am sure that Mr. Hitani's next attack will definitely kill you."
"Tsk, although I really don't want to listen to you, it is indeed not suitable to hide one's strength in a life-and-death battle between ninjas. Since you want to see my full strength, I will show it to you." Yukito suddenly growled in a deep voice, "Two-Tail! Give me your power!"
Boom!!!
A blue flame suddenly exploded from Yukito's body, and she instantly turned into a big cat wrapped in blue flames, similar to a smaller version of the Two-Tail.
Feeling this chakra breath, Uchiha Itachi said with satisfaction, "As expected of a Jinchūriki who has mastered the power of the tailed beasts. This evil chakra breath seems to have completely released the power of the tailed beasts."
"As you can see, this is all my strength." Yukito, who has transformed into a tailed beast, spoke in human language, "So, facing me in this state, do you think you still have a chance of winning?"
Swoosh!
After saying this, Yukito disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared behind Hitani, scratching Hitani's back with her claws at an extremely fast speed.
Ding!
Just when Yukito thought she had succeeded, Hitani suddenly turned around, calmly swung his sword, and blocked Yukito's claws.
Yukito was surprised and said, "You can actually keep up with my speed when I transform into a tailed beast?"
"Are you fast?" After Hitani finished speaking, two clones appeared beside him. They were not shadow clones but afterimages created by extremely fast instant steps.
Whoosh!
Hitani himself and the two afterimages swung their swords at Yu Muren's head at the same time.
Puff!
Yu Muren, who was unable to dodge, was hit in the abdomen and spurted out a lot of blood.
Yu Muren quickly stepped back a few steps, covering the wound on his abdomen, and said in pain and surprise, "Monster! You can use speed to create a physical clone that can attack! And you don't have chakra! How can a normal person do such a thing?"
"Mr. Hitani." Itachi Uchiha, who was watching the fight, said, "Please make a quick decision and use your ninjutsu, Ryujin Jakka. I don't think you can defeat this perfect tailed beast Jinchūriki without that move."
"No need." Hitani said.
"No need?" Uchiha Itachi asked curiously, "Although your physical skills are very strong, you are helpless in the face of the tenacious vitality of the tailed beast, or do you plan to play with her first to kill some time?"
"The dirty waves, the crazy boat, boiling! Numb! Flickering! Sleepless! The steel princess also rusts, and the clay doll collapses." Hitani ignored him and sang to himself.
Seeing this, the wooden man asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
"Gather! Fight the enemy! Fill the ground and let them know they are powerless!" Hitani continued to chant, "Ninety of the broken path, the black coffin!"
Buzz!!!
A huge cube made of black energy, larger than a mountain, appeared above the forest.
Looking at this huge energy body that covered the sky, Yu Muren's face was full of panic, and his voice trembled, "What, what is this?"
Boom!!
The black coffin pressed down like a mountain, covering Yu Muren in it.
"Ah!!!!" A moment later, Yukito's heart-wrenching roar came from the black coffin, as if she had been cut into pieces, and her voice was almost broken, and the ears of the listeners were hurt.
The screams lasted for five minutes before they stopped, and the black coffin slowly dispersed and disappeared.
Yukito in the black coffin had already released her tailed beast form, lying half-dead on the ground, her clothes torn, her body covered with dense knife wounds, and there was almost no intact skin on her body.
"This…" Uchiha Itachi walked forward to check it out and said in horror, "What kind of ninjutsu is this? The Jinchūriki was defeated just like that?"
"The ninetieth of the broken path, the black coffin." Hitani said lightly, "The person covered by the black coffin will be cut into pieces without any dead angle in the black coffin until they are killed or I cancel it."
"Hadao… Black coffin…" Uchiha Itachi's face was extremely ugly.
Hitani put away his Zanpakutō and said softly, "The mission is accomplished. Take the Jinchūriki back. But Uchiha Itachi, it seems that this battle has disappointed you. It was Pein who asked you to team up with me so that you can use the Sharingan to analyze my fighting methods, right?"
Uchiha Itachi was frightened and his body shook.
Hitani smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I won't attack you. I understand Pein's approach. If I were the leader of the Akatsuki organization, I would not want any unstable factors among my subordinates. He wants to understand my abilities, which is understandable, but he will never understand my abilities."
"What do you mean?" Uchiha Itachi asked.
Hitani smiled and said, "Similar to the Black Coffin's Breaking Technique, I have mastered nearly a hundred kinds, and there are nearly a hundred kinds of Binding Technique and Kaidō Technique. Each of them is a technique that you cannot understand. And you should have discovered that your Sharingan cannot copy my moves at all, right?"
