"You ready for this, Yugito?" Yamato asked, casting a brief glance towards the Jinchuriki. Despite her brash demeanor, he respected her as a fellow shinobi and recognized her strength. But he was also acutely aware of the enemy they were about to engage. Kisame Hoshigaki wasn't a man to be trifled with.
Yugito, her form still shrouded in the intimidating silhouette of the Two-Tails, didn't look his way. Instead, her gaze remained fixed on Kisame, a deep-rooted determination etched into her golden eyes. "I didn't trap them here to play nice, Yamato," she retorted, her voice laced with a feral intensity that mirrored the spectral feline surrounding her. "Just keep up."
Yamato simply nodded, focusing his attention back onto Kisame. The Akatsuki member seemed surprisingly relaxed, considering he was about to face off against two formidable opponents.
"Don't underestimate them," Yamato muttered, "Akatsuki are fearsome." watching as the shark-man cracked his knuckles, a sinister grin playing on his lips.
"Well, aren't we in for a treat?" Kisame's voice cut through the tense air, a hint of excitement lacing his words. His shark-like eyes gleamed with anticipation, his focus shifting between Yamato and Yugito. "Two against one. And here I was thinking I wouldn't get to have any fun."
Yamato spared a quick glance at Yugito, noting the dangerous swirl of blue chakra that enveloped her. He could sense the heat of her fire abilities, even from a distance. Turning back to face Kisame, he flexed his hands, letting the familiar surge of his wood release chakra course through him.
"Ready, Yugito?" Yamato questioned, his voice firm.
Yugito's answer was a snarl, as she charged towards Kisame, her blue chakra flaring brighter. "Let's dance, Shark-man!"
Kisame grinned in response, holding out Samehada in anticipation. "You're going to regret this."
Yamato took off after Yugito, his feet carrying him swiftly across the field. He took the moment to form a series of hand seals, calling forth a technique to provide some initial support. "Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!"
A large, wooden barricade sprung up from the ground, separating Kisame from Koushin and Hidan's ongoing battle. Yamato didn't want any interference, especially not from the unpredictable Hidan.
Kisame scowled at the wooden wall but shrugged. "Just you and me then."
He suddenly rushed forward, meeting Yugito in the center of their makeshift arena. Samehada swung down in a high arc but Yugito moved nimbly, evading the swing and responding with a swift kick to his side.
Yamato quickly moved to back her up, his hands forming the familiar seals for another jutsu. "Wood Release: Four Pillar Prison Technique!" Four large wooden pillars sprung up, attempting to entrap Kisame within them.
But Kisame was quick. Using a Water Release technique, he managed to evade the prison by converting his body into water, the wooden prison sinking harmlessly through him.
"No cheap tricks," Kisame taunted, appearing behind Yamato. He moved to strike him with Samehada but Yamato reacted in time, rolling away from the shark-man.
Meanwhile, Yugito saw an opportunity. Taking a deep breath, she spewed a stream of blue fire towards Kisame, her chakra cloak lending strength to her flames. "Blue Flame Bombardment!"
Caught off guard, Kisame was forced to defend, calling upon a Water Release technique of his own. "Water Release: Water Wall!" A torrent of water sprung up before him, neutralizing the blue flames.
Yamato watched Kisame, gauging his movements. The Akatsuki was formidable, there was no doubt. But Yamato wasn't one to back down either. "I hope you're ready, Kisame. You're not the only one here who can manipulate water."
Forming the necessary hand seals, Yamato called forth his technique. "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" A huge water dragon materialized, roaring as it charged towards Kisame.
Kisame met Yamato's gaze, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "This is more like it!" He countered with his own technique, "Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!"
The two massive constructs collided with a resounding crash, creating a huge spray of water. Yugito took advantage of the distraction, calling upon her Bijuu's abilities once more. "Blue Flame Hurricane!" She unleashed a torrent of blue flames, swirling around Kisame like a tempest.
The fiery assault took Kisame by surprise, his water defense weakened by Yamato's attack. The flames scorched him, eliciting a grunt of pain. But he quickly regained his composure, meeting Yugito's gaze with a savage grin.
"Feisty, aren't we?" Kisame chuckled, charging towards Yugito with Samehada at the ready.
Yugito met his charge head-on, her chakra cloak flaring as she prepared for another round. Yamato quickly moved to assist, his wood release chakra pooling in his hands as he formulated his next move. Their battle was far from over.
"I hope you're ready, Kisame," Yamato muttered, watching as the Akatsuki member engaged Yugito. "Because we're not going down without a fight."
Despite the chaotic, life-threatening situation they were in, Kisame's laughter echoed ominously in the large dome of water he'd created. The shark-like man reveled in the thrill of the battle, his bloodlust fueled by the fierce opponents he faced. Yugito and Yamato, on the other hand, showed no signs of amusement. They were in enemy territory, literally, and they knew it.
The dome Kisame had created was his ultimate move - trapping his enemies in an environment where he had complete control. However, he hadn't accounted for one factor – Yugito's control over her Two-Tails' chakra. Her Bijuu cloak emanated an intense heat that was turning the water around her into steam at an alarming rate. The result was a thick mist that permeated the dome, reducing visibility significantly.
"Persistent, aren't we?" Kisame mocked, though a tinge of irritation leaked into his voice. The water was dissipating faster than he could replenish it, and his prey seemed far from being worn out.
"Yamato-san," Yugito's voice echoed, her form barely visible through the dense vapor. "I think it's time to turn the tides."
Yamato couldn't help but smirk at her pun, appreciating her courage even in the face of danger. "Agreed," he replied, raising his hands to form a series of hand seals. He drew upon his unique ability, Wood Release. "Wood Release: Hōbi Technique!" He commanded, and a barrage of wooden projectiles shot from his palms, their aim directed towards Kisame.
