Chapter 275: Prelude to Battle

*Author Note*

Writing on phone SUCKS!

*End of Author Note*

A slight smirk appeared on Yuna’s face when she saw Fuyu hastily jump off the ground so that she could evade her ice by sticking to the ceiling. It would be relatively easy to intercept her I’d jump, but Yuna saw no point in doing so; after all, since Fuyu uses I ice style, it was pretty much impossible for her to be a threat to Yuna.

Meanwhile, Mito observed the aftermath of Yuna’s jutsu and couldn’t help but frown. Despite using massive amounts of chakra for her jutsu, it barely had any offensive strength and only covered the room in a layer of ice. No, there was something else that changed.

Mito glanced at Yuna, and her frown deepened further. She was suddenly wearing a sleek-looking armor that appeared to be entirely made out of ice, while a regal diadem appeared on her head. Mito wasn’t sure why, but the pressure radiating off of Yuna significantly increased after she changed wardrobe. Worst of all, the moment Yuna’s ice went past her, Mito felt like she was suddenly transported into the stomach of a beast.

The Third Kazekage felt somewhat similar to Mito, but instead of calmly analyzing the situation, he took another approach.

“Hahaha, so what if you froze the room!? I will simply smash through everything you throw at me!”

Without a moment of hesitation, the lighting chakra that was coating him became thicker and be disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in front of Yuna with his fist already flying towards her.

Yuna couldn’t help but smile when she saw the speed and strength of the Third Raikage’s attack. Although she certainly could match his speed, she was under no illusion that she could compare to his strength, so blocking his attack head-on was obviously a bad idea.

So naturally, this was exactly what Yuna decided to do as her grin twisted further and red chakra started bubbling out of her, forming a chakra cloak with six tails under her ice armor.

Two fists met midair, resulting in an earth-shaking explosion, and while the Third Raikage slid backward due to the force of the collision, two ice spikes shot out of Yuna’s back and anchored her into the ground; preventing her from doing the same.

“HAHAHA, YOU WILL NEED MORE THAN THAT TO IMPRESS ME, MUSCLEH…”

“[Uzumaki Sealing Style: Bijuu Suppression]”

While Yuna had her little exchange with the Third Raikage, Mito appeared behind her with all of her nine chains glowing with blue chakra, and moments later, they were wrapped around Yuna, causing her red chakra cloak to vanish instantly.

Mito shook her head when she saw that.

“As expected, so you really have the Kyuubi sealed inside you. Let me, your elder, give you a little advice: never use a Bijuu’s chakra against a fellow Uzumaki.”

Yuna couldn’t help but chuckle a little when she heard Mito’s words while she tried to free herself from Mito’s chains.

“Hehe, so that is how it feels to be trapped with the Uzumaki’s chains. Quite intriguing, I have to admit.”

A frown appeared on Mito’s face when she noticed Yuna’s carefree attitude.

“Despite being trapped, you seem to be relatively carefree. I’m rather curious about how you plan to get out of this.”

“Hehe, that is relatively simple. The advice you gave me just now might be not bad for most people, but there is one aspect of it that doesn’t work well for me.”

While Mito was taken aback by Yuna’s words, Yuna’s grin twisted further as a glint of insanity appeared in her eyes.

“Hehehe, your advice was common sense…”

Yet again, liquid chakra started flowing out of Yuna, but this time, instead of being pure red, its primary color was blue, and it had small patches of red and white in it. Additionally, instead of six tails, seven grew out of Yuna’s back.

“…and I’m not a big fan of that nonsense.”

Before Mito could understand what was going on, Yuna’s chakra cloak was fully formed and pushed away the chains that were binding her.

Mito could only gape in astonishment when she saw her chains harmlessly fall to the ground. The seals she just used were literally created to stop a Jinchuuriki from using the Bijuu’s chakra, and despite that, that was precisely what pushed away her seal. That was impossible! Before she could regather her wits, Yuna’s first smashed into her, sending her flying into a wall.

“See? That advice wasn’t worth much, so let me give you a little advice instead: while facing me, everything you consider to be common sense for a shinobi is entirely worthless. Techniques that have always worked so far will not work against me. Strategies that no one managed to see through up until now, I will see through them. Don’t hold anything back. Throw every ploy, every feint, every little trick you have at me, and prepare yourself to get crushed anyway.”

“[Ice Style: Eternal Ice Prison]”

In an attempt to prove Yuna’s words wrong, Fuyu sneaked up on her and tried to trap her into ice. Yuna couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw her futile attempt, and moments later, Fuyu was frozen by an ice prison, resulting in Yuna’s chuckling evolving into full-blown laughter.

[HAHAHA, I MIGHT AS WELL MENTION THAT ICE DOESN’T WORK ON ME.]
