Just as Yoru was going to return, a loud female roar sounded throughout the forest.

"Damn! Die for me!"

There was a violent explosion in the forest.

In the rain, the blue flame gradually extinguished. In a burst of ruins, trees were piled up in a mess, and on the top of the trees, Yoru was standing there. The blow just now didn't touch him, let alone affect him.

The one who attacked just now was a Kumo shinobi. She looked around the forest spotting a corpse of a chunin. She hurriedly rushed towards the corpse but saw that he was dead. Like a broken marionette, she fell down to the ground. Her expression changed from disbelief to sadness to finally anger as a swirling blue chakra appeared around her.

At this time, Yoru looked at the Kumo shinobi in front of him with interest. The blond woman looked about the same age as him, and it was no exaggeration to say that she was a beauty. But what interested Yoru was not the appearance of the other party, but the chakra radiating from her body. That was the chakra of two tails.

With the chakra of two tails, the identity of the girl in front of him was also very obvious. The Jinchuruki of the two tails.

"Great blow, Tell me, your name?"

"Yugito Nii. Were you the one who killed him?" Yugito shouted pointing at the dead chunin on the ground.

"As much as I'd love to say it's not me, there doesn't seem to be anyone here but me."

"Then give me your life."

Yugito burst out with blue chakra, which was the power of the second tail. With an angry roar, a blue fireball hit Yoru, causing an explosion.

However, the figure of Yoru at this time appeared behind Yugito. He sat on a fallen tree and asked softly.

"You want revenge for him?"

"I am going to kill you!" Yugito moved quickly, and with her arms glowing with blue flames smashed at Yoru again.

However, there was a haze in the air, and Yoru's figure disappeared in front of Yugito like a mist.

After that, once Yoru appeared, Yugito will immediately attack, but every time she would hit the water clone. It was like playing whack-a-mole. All she was hitting was the water clone. Eventually, her mood became extremely manic.

"Don't run. Fight me head-on, come to kill me as you killed him." Yugito shouted to the sky, hoping that Yoru would come out and fight her.

As a jinchuruki, the person who died was the only one who treated her well. Facing the hatred of the village, he was the one who extended his hand toward her. He was the beacon of light, the person she liked. But now, he's dead. So, she wants to kill Yoru in the most vicious way possible, only in this way can she pacify his soul.

"Angry? Yes, you should be."

Once again, Yoru walked beside Yugito with the black parasol.

But this time, Yugito did not attack him immediately. After all, she had been played by him many times before, and she has learned a little bit.

"I want to just kill you," Yugito said, the blue chakra on her body began to surge again. Her body had been gradually taken over by the two tails.

The price of using such power was to be eventually swallowed by the tailed beast, which is the sadness of being a Jinchuruki, even if Yugito was somewhat special. However, for the current Yugito, nothing matters now. She just wants to kill Yoru.

"The one who killed him was me but you are also the one who killed him," Yoru said these words lightly at this time.

The words directly hit her heart and made Yugito stunned for a moment.

"What?"

Yoru raised his pale hand and unfurled three fingers.

"Knowing that he is not my opponent, but sending him to fight me was reckless. This is the first problem. After knowing that they could not be my opponent, they sent a signal, but the Kumo leaders didn't realize the seriousness of the problem and did not send a reliable rescue team in time. This is the second problem, Carelessness. After dispatching the rescue team, they didn't reach it in time. Because your speed was not enough, you failed to save them, and even on a one-on-one with me, you misjudged my strength. This is the third problem."

Saying that Yoru closed his hand and continued," That's why I said though it was me who killed him, You are also the one who killed him."

Yoru didn't deny that he was the murderer. On the battlefield, there was no need for that. At this moment, Yoru brought the fact that the other party guiltily avoided to the surface.

For a moment, there was silence in the forest with only the sound of the rain.

"Shut up!"

Yugito released a huge blue fire attack on Yoru. The fire hit Yoru but once again it turned into a pool of water. This made Yugito even angrier.

That's right, she has always felt guilty in her heart for why she didn't come earlier so that she could save him. She could have saved him if she came one step faster. The more you think like this, the more you will subconsciously feel that you have a problem.

And Yoru saw through this point and acted as a guide. First, he said that she had failed to save him, aroused her guilt, made her accept it, and then gradually made her feel like an accomplice in killing him.

"If you hadn't sent him, he wouldn't have met me. If you had immediately dispatched elite support, he wouldn't have been in a desperate situation. If you, who could save him came one step earlier, he wouldn't have to die. It's you who really killed him." Another Yoru appeared beside a tree not far away.

From the beginning, he had been suppressing his chakra. Hiding his chakra to the level of a water clone to make it unclear which one is the real self. In rainy weather, using a water clone is the most economical method. For Yoru, fighting and killing were never the main goals, but only means.

"I didn't!" Yugito retorted strongly but took a step back subconsciously.

"That's right, you didn't kill him directly. The one who killed him was me. However, the one who failed to save him was you, and the one who gave the order for him to come here is far away. We are all accomplices. It was because of your late arrival that I had the opportunity to kill him," Yoru continued to induce the feeling of guilt in her. His words were like a deep and dark abyss, drawing her in and pulling her towards darkness.
