Chapter 143: Self-conquering Yugito Nii

"Ah, so Killer Bee is also here. That's great," Shishou said with a bright smile, causing Motoi to panic, unable to understand how Shishou knew this information.

Could he have mind-reading abilities? Motoi thought in terror.

Seeing Motoi's expression, Shishou felt a bit speechless, thinking, "You're practically giving it away."

Casually knocking Motoi out, Shishou walked towards the Falls of Truth.

He remembered that there was a cave behind the waterfall where Yugito Nii should be training.

At the Falls of Truth, Yugito Nii sat in meditation in front of the waterfall, under the watchful eyes of Killer Bee and other Jonin from Kumogakure.

Looking at the waterfall, Yugito once again saw the hateful figure within it, making her clench her fists, barely resisting the urge to rush up and teach him a lesson.

"Miss Yugito, are you here to see me again?" The phantom of Shishou in the waterfall smiled at her.

Yugito pursed her lips without speaking; this was her inner demon.

Ever since being tied up and disciplined by Shishou, her inner demon had taken his form, leaving her feeling helpless.

While others' inner demons were typically their dark sides, hers was that annoying man who had humiliated her...

"Miss Yugito, you know you can't defeat me unless you conquer my real self," the phantom Shishou said with a bright smile. "Why do you keep coming to see me then? And why do you dream about that scene every night?"

"Could it be..."

The phantom's words struck a nerve in Yugito, making her blush and her lips tremble.

Perhaps the mental trauma from last time was too great, causing her to relive the experience of being disciplined by Shishou every night in her dreams.

Remembering the fear, humiliation, and strange sensations from that time made Yugito's body tremble slightly.

"I didn't even finish speaking, and you're already denying it. It seems you know what I was going to say," the phantom Shishou laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense..." Yugito's face turned redder, her voice becoming smaller.

Inside Yugito, Matatabi, the Two-Tails, sighed helplessly.

Yugito's training at the Falls of Truth was supposed to eliminate her inner demon, but it seemed to be growing instead.

Over the past few months, Matatabi had watched as Yugito's obsession with Shishou intensified.

Nearby, Killer Bee watched the blushing Yugito, completely baffled.

Talking to one's dark side and getting embarrassed was something he had never seen before.

This month alone, Yugito had found herself in this situation ten times.

"It seems Yugito has failed again," Killer Bee sighed, shaking his head.

The other Jonin from Kumogakure nodded in agreement.

"Bee, that person is back, behind you!"

Suddenly, the Eight-Tails warned Killer Bee.

Turning around, Killer Bee saw Shishou, the Flying Thunder God user.

"Baka yarou, konoyarou, what are you doing here again?" Killer Bee quickly assumed a defensive stance, staring at Shishou warily.

The other Jonin, surprised, turned to look at Shishou, wondering how he had arrived unnoticed.

"What is Miss Yugito doing?" Shishou asked, curious, looking at the blushing Yugito in front of the waterfall.

Shishou knew the waterfall revealed one's inner darkness, but Yugito's behavior seemed odd.

"Baka yarou, konoyarou, you still haven't answered my question," Killer Bee frowned, strategizing his next move.

While Killer Bee felt he could protect himself, he worried about the other Kumogakure ninjas.

"I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to borrow some of your and Yugito's tailed beast chakra," Shishou said, trying to appear friendly.

"Borrow some tailed beast chakra?"

"Can tailed beast chakra just be lent like that?"

The Jonin next to Killer Bee was furious, assuming Shishou aimed to capture the tailed beasts, and began forming hand seals to attack.

Shishou's eyes narrowed, and his Sharingan spun as he cast a glance at Killer Bee and the nearby ninjas.

"Bee, watch out!"

"It's the Mangekyo Sharingan!"

The Eight-Tails snapped Killer Bee out of the genjutsu, and Killer Bee quickly jumped out of Shishou's range.

Thud! Thud! Thud...

Several heavy thuds sounded as the genjutsu-struck Jonin collapsed.

"You're no match for me," Shishou said. "Killer Bee, I suggest you surrender. If we fight, it'll only be you who suffers."

With that, Shishou clapped his hands, releasing a huge burst of chakra. Trees and vines erupted from the ground, forming several massive wooden dragons, encircling Killer Bee.

Shishou liked Killer Bee's character in the original series, especially when he beat Sasuke, so he didn't want to harm him.

To intimidate Killer Bee into compliance, Shishou decided to show his true strength.

"Wood Release!" Killer Bee was shocked, staring at the huge wooden dragons, dumbfounded.

He hadn't heard that the Flying Thunder God user could use Wood Release.

"Mangekyo Sharingan, Wood Release, Flying Thunder God, poison, chakra far surpassing a tailed beast," sighed the Eight-Tails. "Bee, we can't beat him. Surrender. He doesn't seem hostile; otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed so much."

Still, the Eight-Tails discreetly extended an octopus leg into the ground, just in case.

"I surrender!"

Seeing the wooden dragons, Killer Bee gulped and followed the Eight-Tails' advice.

Satisfied, Shishou nodded and approached Yugito.

Despite the commotion, Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, seemed oblivious, intriguing Shishou.

"Miss Yugito," Shishou greeted her, standing beside her.

Distracted by her inner demon, Yugito turned to see Shishou, mistaking him for the phantom. She blushed and shouted, "Why did you come out? I haven't agreed yet!"
