Chapter 243 Yugao Joins the Gang

Somewhere in the forest, several Anbu ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village were following behind Yugao.

They were agile and quick in their movements, following Yu Gao's steps closely.

Yu Gao's face was solemn, he could feel the powerful aura of the enemy behind him.

He quickened his pace, moving through the dense forest, trying to get rid of these pursuers.

The branches flew past him quickly, and the leaves rustled, as if they were worried about his situation.

The tracking ninjas did not relax. With their excellent tracking skills and keen perception, they always kept a close eye on Yu Gao's trail.

Their eyes were full of determination and coldness, and it was obvious that they would not give up until they achieved their goal.

Yugao stopped and turned around slowly, his eyes revealing determination and perseverance. The ninjas also stopped not far away and surrounded Yugao in a fan shape.

"Hmph, you've been chasing me for so long, it's time to stop here." Yu Gao said coldly, with a hint of majesty in his voice.

The leading ninja sneered, "Yugao, you can't escape. If you follow us obediently, maybe we can save your life."

Yu Gao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Just you? You want me to surrender? You are just dreaming."

After saying that, Yu Gao blew out a few bubbles and attacked several people.

The bubbles floated lightly in the air, seemingly harmless, yet they held great power.

The bubbles quickly approached the pursuing ninjas. At first, they did not take the bubbles seriously, thinking they were just ordinary means of attack.

But when the bubbles got closer, they were surprised by the chakra fluctuations contained in them.

The leading ninja shouted: "Be careful with these bubbles!" Everyone used ninjutsu to try to resist.

However, the bubbles blown by Yugao are not so easy to be blocked.

A bubble exploded in front of a ninja, releasing a powerful impact force that instantly knocked the ninja away.

The other ninjas couldn't help but feel a little scared when they saw this.

They didn't expect Yu Gao's attack to be so strange and powerful.

But they were well-trained ninjas after all, and they quickly adjusted their status and continued to attack Yugao.

Yugao looked at them calmly and continued to blow bubbles to fight back.

Bubbles flew in the forest, colliding with the ninjas' ninjutsu, making loud noises.

Every collision caused the surrounding trees to shake and leaves to fall.

As the battle progressed, Yugao gradually gained the upper hand.

His bubble attacks made it difficult for the ninjas to defend themselves, and their attacks could hardly cause any substantial damage to Yugao.

However, Yugao also knew that he couldn't be careless, as these ninjas must have other tricks up their sleeves.

Sure enough, the leading ninja saw that the situation was unfavorable, took out a flare from his arms and fired it into the sky.

Yugao's heart sank, he knew this meant more enemies were coming.

He must deal with these ninjas in front of him as soon as possible and escape from here.

Yu Gao's eyes became more determined, he increased the output of chakra, and the bubbles he blew became bigger and more powerful.

Those bubbles were like dreamy crystal balls, sparkling brilliantly in the sun, but the destructive power contained in them was terrifying.

Under this powerful attack, the ninjas gradually fell into trouble.

They looked at the approaching bubbles in horror and desperately used various ninjutsu to resist.

However, Yugao's bubbles seemed to have an unstoppable force and easily broke through their defenses.

A huge bubble exploded next to a ninja. The powerful impact knocked him to the ground and blood spurted out of his mouth.

The other ninjas were filled with despair when they saw this.

They realized that they were no match for Yugao.

The leading ninja gritted his teeth and said unwillingly: "Yu Gao, don't be too proud too soon. Our reinforcements will be here soon, and you won't be able to escape by then."

Yu Gao looked at him coldly and said, “Even if your reinforcements come, I will not be afraid.

Today, I must get rid of your pursuit."

After saying that, Yugao increased his chakra output again and blew out a series of even bigger bubbles.

These bubbles whizzed towards the ninjas like cannonballs.

The ninjas fled in all directions, but many of them were hit by the bubbles and fell to the ground injured.

Under Yugao's powerful attack, the ninjas' defense line completely collapsed.

They began to retreat, hoping to save their lives.

Yu Gao watched them fleeing in a panic and did not chase after them.

He knew that the most important thing now was to leave here as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by more enemies.

At this moment, four more figures appeared in front of him.

Yu Gao frowned as he looked at the people coming, because he felt a heavy pressure from the man wearing an ice sculpture mask.

The pressure was like an invisible mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe.

At this time, Orochimaru noticed Yugao's alertness and spoke up, "Yugao-kun, this is my leader, and a fellow Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails."

Yugao was slightly surprised. They were both Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?

He stared at the man wearing the ice sculpture mask, trying to find some clues from him.

However, there was a mysterious aura about the man that made him elusive.

Orochimaru continued, "Hedaka-kun, the leader has no ill will towards you. I wonder how you feel about what happened last time."

Yu Gao was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "What is your purpose?"

Naruto raised his hand slightly, signaling Orochimaru to leave. Then he said, "Mr. Yugao, an organization called Akatsuki has appeared in the Ninja World. It specializes in capturing Jinchūriki to achieve their goals. As a Jinchūriki, I know that I cannot just sit there and wait for death. So I hope that you, as Jinchūriki, can unite with me to resist the threat of Akatsuki together."

Yugao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about what Naruto said.

He had also heard of the organization called Akatsuki and knew how powerful and cruel they were.

If they are allowed to continue capturing Jinchūriki, the entire ninja world will be in great crisis.

"What's your plan?" Yugao asked.

Naruto said with a firm look in his eyes: "We need to unite all the forces that can be united to fight against Akatsuki together. The Jinchūriki have great power. If we can unite, we will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to Akatsuki."

Yugao was silent for a while, then said, "I can join you, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?" Naruto asked.

"I want to ensure my safety and freedom," Yugao said.

Naruto nodded and said, "Don't worry, our goal is to fight against Akatsuki together and protect the safety and freedom of the Jinchūriki. As long as we unite, we will be able to achieve this goal."

Yugao looked into Naruto's eyes and felt his sincerity and determination. He knew that he had made the right choice.

"Okay, I'll join you." Yu Gao said.
