Naruto: Forbidden Arts and an Immortal Agenda

The mountain was ordinary, the trees were common—yet this quiet hill now welcomed a group anything but normal.

On this deserted hillside gathered five Jonin and four Genin from both Hidden Cloud and Konoha. Included among them was even a Jinchuriki. A clash was inevitable.

Midway up the mountain, thick clouds and mist swirled. The Bandit Camp stood faintly visible through the fog.

Rong Hyuga reported on Hidden Cloud's movement right away: "Teacher, that monster and a Cloud ninja have left!"

Kona Aizawa's eyes lit up upon hearing this. She confirmed, "Really?"

With his Byakugan activated, Rong Hyuga double-checked. "Yes. That monster has gone down the mountain. Now only one sword-wielding Cloud ninja remains guarding the path down."

Upon hearing this, Kona Aizawa moved her limbs slightly and decisively ordered, "Get ready. It's time to strike back."

Saya Kurama stammered, "Teacher, that enemy outside is very strong, and you're still injured—you should wait—and also, the reinforcements won't be able to defeat that monster…"

Before he could finish, Kona Aizawa silenced him with an icy glare.

"Shut up!" Kona snapped. "As ninjas, we can't place all our hopes on others.

Even though that monster is strong, the reinforcements are already in grave danger. Even if we can't defeat this Jonin directly, at least we can restrain him and draw more attention. Otherwise, it will be even more dangerous for the arriving reinforcements."

After scolding Saya Kurama, Kona continued, "Right now is our best chance to escape. Though our opponent is a Hidden Cloud Jonin, he's only one man. Our team is complete. As long as we cooperate well, killing him is not impossible."

After quickly assigning tasks to each team member, she leapt onto a structure at the front of the Bandit Camp and began forming hand seals in rapid succession.

[Water Release: Wild Wave!]

The moisture in the air rapidly thinned out, while swirling streams of water appeared around her.

The water grew stronger, eventually transforming into powerful waves rushing toward the sword-wielding Cloud ninja standing outside the Bandit Camp.

The Cloud ninja, Black Lightning, sneered, "So you finally came out of your turtle shell!"

"Cloud Stream! Cloud Slash!"

His sharp blade swung forward, three brilliant slashes slicing through the waves, scattering them to pieces and revealing Team One behind the water attack.

...

At the foot of the mountain, a female ninja with long hair stood facing a male ninja wearing a high-collared leather jacket.

Yugito crouched silently on a tree branch, grinning, "Jackpot! Never expected the head of the Aburame clan to show up here!"

Facing the Jinchuriki known as a living war weapon, Shibi showed no fear, coldly responding, "Yugito of Hidden Cloud. I didn't expect you'd dare to come alone so deep into enemy territory. Don't you worry you might never leave?"

"Losing even one Jinchuriki would seriously wound Hidden Cloud."

Yugito laughed, "You think you're a match for me? Omnipotent Shibi!"

"Remember this—"

As she spoke, her hands and feet grew sharp chakra claws, flames of a ghostly blue hue flickering upon them.

"For a ninja—"

Like a cat, she silently leapt between trees encircling Shibi.

"Omnipotence truly means—"

Her voice continued echoing from all directions, yet her figure had completely vanished from Shibi's sight.

"True omnipotence… is helplessness!"

A powerful chakra-infused claw slashed downward before the words had even faded, with Yugito already behind Shibi Aburame.

The attack came from behind Shibi, silent and sudden, but he sensed it immediately, twisting his arm up just in time to block the deadly slash.

"Screee—tearrr!"

The claw scraped against Shibi's arm, producing a sharp, grating sound like metal scraping across glass.

Yugito withdrew instantly after her strike, shifting like a phantom, constantly changing position. Yet no matter how stealthy she became, Shibi always countered accurately and retaliated in kind.

After another clash, Yugito used the recoil force to leap onto a tree's canopy. Furrowing her brows slightly, she questioned, "Why can you evade my attacks? Every time I strike, it's from your blind spot. Even with quick reflexes, there's no way you should block them all."

Shibi replied coolly with hands in his pockets, "From the insects' perspective, there's nowhere for you to hide."

"No wonder!" Yugito nodded in realization. "Then what exactly did you use to block my chakra claws? I already know my claws can split gold and stone."

"Iron-Shell Parasitic Bugs," Shibi answered. "Their Kara is as hard as diamonds."

Smiling, Yugito said, "Who would've thought such tiny bugs could serve such great purposes. Impressive, bug-controlling Aburame. Thanks for the explanation, but don't think I'll go easy on you because of it."

Shibi shook his head. "Tiny bugs? Even tiny bugs possess mighty souls! How can they be ignored?"

[Secret Technique! Bug Tornado!]

While speaking with Yugito, he had already maneuvered his insects to secretly surround her.

The Parasitic Bugs spun rapidly along special trajectories, creating a whirlwind that suddenly engulfed Yugito.

Inside this vortex, Yugito felt her chakra gradually draining away. Remaining unfazed, she simply laughed, saying, "Foolish! Trying to suck the chakra from a Jinchuriki."

"Matatabi, lend me some power."

Instantly, Shibi sensed an overwhelming surge of dark chakra radiating from the female ninja before him. A tail formed behind her—a deep-blue demonic cat-shaped chakra manifestation.

Yet despite being empowered by the Tailed Beast's chakra, Yugito made no attempt to break free. Countless swarms of insects surged toward her like crashing waves, feeding voraciously on the chakra pouring from her body.

Shibi stated calmly, "Just another Jinchuriki. Nothing more than a man-made weapon. What is there to fear?"

"These Soul-Eating Parasitic Bugs feast on chakra. Though they cannot completely drain your chakra, they're more than capable of temporarily suppressing you."

As he spoke, tangible chakra materialized around his hands—he was preparing to seal away the Two-Tails' chakra entirely, capturing this Jinchuriki permanently.

The Aburame clan had a long and storied history, and Shibi himself was a seasoned veteran. He was certainly no stranger to Jinchuriki.

Though Tailed Beasts possessed world-shattering power, their human hosts—the Jinchuriki—struggled to fully unleash that might.

Typically, a Jinchuriki could only borrow a fraction of a Tailed Beast's chakra—hardly guaranteed to make them stronger than battle-hardened elite Jonin.

In ninja combat, chakra alone wasn't everything. Bloodline traits, secret techniques, ninjutsu, and experience could all play crucial roles too.

Seeing Aburame Shibi drawing closer, Yugito remained calm and said, "Do you really think you've won? How naive!"

As she spoke, a towering pillar of eerie blue chakra flared from her body, lifting her ponytail upward.

Her eerie blue chakra condensed into blazing flames that consumed all the Soul-Eating Parasitic Bugs on her body, turning them to ashes.

Her eyes turned cold and white; she crouched on all fours like a ghostly cat demon.

[Perfect Jinchuriki!]

For the first time, a flicker of emotion crossed Shibi's otherwise expressionless face.

A Perfect Jinchuriki was incomparable to an ordinary one!

Although regular Jinchuriki possessed immense chakra, without cooperation from their tailed beast, they couldn't display overwhelming power.

However, the Perfect Jinchuriki not only had infinite chakra reserves but also gained powerful regenerative abilities through their tailed beast's assistance. Most importantly, they would acquire special abilities unique to their tailed beast.

Like the Two-Tails, which mastered Yōmei Flame [the flame of the underworld].

A Jinchuriki with such power had already surpassed the Jonin level, having firmly entered Kage-level territory.

Shibi realized the upcoming battle would be dangerous.
