Coincidentally, this little girl suited its taste, so it became too lazy to switch hosts again.
Although this crude Seal couldn't contain it, it didn't want this Jinchuriki, whom it finally found pleasing, to die.
"Yugito..." The Third Raikage murmured the girl's name internally, then left the spot using the Lightning Shunshin.
The people in the laboratory were not at all surprised that the Third Raikage was taking the little Two-Tails Jinchuriki girl to the battlefield.
During this period, children around ten years old were often sent to the battlefield to kill enemies.
They were already used to it.
Furthermore, their laboratory was perhaps even more terrifying than the battlefield.
In the Land of Lightning, the Espada and Ai were confronting each other.
Grimmjow said unhappily, "Hey, hey, there's only one guy here who can actually fight. Not enough to share!"
Grimmjow had no interest in engaging in a wicked group attack with them.
In his view, a true man should fight one-on-one; fair combat was what he desired most.
Yammy also disdained ganging up on a weakling with them; such a weakling wasn't even worthy of being killed by him.
Zommari, however, didn't care.
Just as they were struggling with this dilemma, a flash of lightning appeared.
A dark-skinned, muscular man arrived on the battlefield, bringing a small, blonde girl.
It would take time for the Hidden Cloud Ninja Army to gather and travel, but he feared his useless son wouldn't hold up, so he had to arrive first.
Seeing the Third Raikage, Grimmjow and Yammy's eyes immediately lit up.
This guy looked much tougher than the kid next to him!
Yammy was the first to speak: "This guy is mine!"
Grimmjow was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily, "Hey, that's my prey!"
Yammy didn't care about that and simply said, "If you want to fight him with me, that's fine too."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yammy charged directly toward the Third Raikage.
"Tch!"
Grimmjow was clearly cornered by Yammy; the thing he hated most was an unequal fight!
Grimmjow rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
A simpleton who couldn't even defeat Aaroniero, and a little brat who hadn't even finished growing.
Wait!
Grimmjow's eyes suddenly widened. He sensed a terrifyingly vast amount of energy emanating from the little girl's body!
Grimmjow grinned. No wonder this girl could be on the battlefield; she had this kind of power hidden inside her.
He announced, "That girl is mine, Zommari, you go deal with that simpleton!"
Zommari put his hands together and replied, "Understood."
"As for Aaroniero..."
Grimmjow thought for a moment and said, "Just scram. You're not needed here anymore."
Aaroniero: "#!"
Sooner or later, I'll drag you down from the position of the Sixth Espada!
Aaroniero glanced at him unhappily, then looked at his designated opponent with contempt.
--- Requesting Flowers --- A mere Sixth Espada, how dare he bully a little girl.
He disdained being associated with that!
Aaroniero twisted his body and sprinted toward the depths of the Land of Lightning.
There was nothing for him here, but he couldn't do nothing either. What if Your Majesty held him accountable?
And besides, the Shinobi here are certainly delicious... The Third Raikage's eyes were wide with fury. Seeing Aaroniero's movement, he clearly understood his malicious intent and roared, "Dodai!"
"Yes, Lord Raikage!"
Boom!! The moment the Third Raikage finished speaking, a fist like a cannonball smashed directly toward him!
The Third Raikage reacted quickly, meeting the blow with an equally powerful punch, creating an explosive sound.
The ears of those nearby immediately began to ring loudly.
Yammy grinned widely and laughed, "You truly deserve to be killed by me!"
The Third Raikage slightly raised his eyebrows, his eyes calmly and quickly scanning his opponent.
The Hollow in his chest and the bone mask covering his chin made him pause. He coldly snorted, "As expected, you're not human!"
If he were human, he couldn't possibly still be alive with a hole in his chest.
Bang! Bang!! After exchanging a few words, the two quickly began to fight.
Neither of them used special abilities, relying solely on their Physical Body strength to clash... the air was filled with the sound of fist meeting flesh!
The Third Raikage observed closely while fighting.
Through their Taijutsu exchange, the Third Raikage realized that Yammy's muscular physique was not just for show.
Coincidentally, his Physical Body strength was also formidable... tempered by Lightning Style Chakra over many years, he was confident that no one in the Ninja World could surpass him in physical prowess!
On the other side, Yugito stood trembling slightly in front of Grimmjow.
It wasn't that she necessarily wanted to stand in front of Grimmjow, but rather that this strange uncle seemed to have targeted her.
She had just turned six this year. Why did she have to be experimented on and then sent to the battlefield to fight this weirdo?!
Grimmjow felt a bit awkward looking at Yugito, who looked like she was about to cry.
Hey, hey! He wasn't the kind of guy who liked bullying the weak!
"Ahem, little kid, don't be scared. How about you call that thing inside your body out for a fight, and I'll let you go?"
Yugito whispered, "Matatabi, he wants to fight you. What should I do?"
Matatabi: "..."
Although this Jinchuriki had good compatibility with it, wasn't she a little too timid?
Seriously, you're the Jinchuriki of a Biju!
Stand up for yourself!
Matatabi sighed in the Seal Space. Forget it, she was still just a child.
There would be plenty of time for training later.
"Relax your mind and let me control your body."
Matatabi's voice resonated from the depths of her heart.
Having been ready for this, Yugito handed over control of her body to Matatabi without the slightest hesitation or worry.
Matatabi felt a warmth in its heart.
This trust was precisely why it had chosen Yugito!
And so... 'Yugito' opened her eyes, her cat pupils sharply focused on Grimmjow.
It would never allow anyone to harm Yugito!
"Oh, oh, oh!!"
Grimmjow became excited, losing the awkwardness he felt when facing the real Yugito, his battle-crazed nature fully exposed.
"That's it! That's exactly it!!"
This aura of strength was undoubtedly the opponent he had always dreamed of!
Grimmjow leaped excitedly, disappearing with a Sonído, quickly arriving in front of 'Yugito', drawing the sword from his waist, and slashing down!
But Yugito, controlled by the Two-Tails, not only had enhanced dynamic vision, allowing her to capture Grimmjow's moving figure, but her reaction speed had also reached its peak!
A pair of sharp cat claws suddenly grew on her hands, and with a clang, she parried the sword in front of her!
'Yugito's' eyes flashed. Cat claws grew on her feet again, and she delivered a spinning kick toward Grimmjow's head.
The cold, gleaming cat claws instantly scraped across Grimmjow's face, producing a grating sound.
However, 'Yugito's' expression changed slightly, and she quickly retreated.
She looked closely, only to see that Grimmjow's face was completely intact, without the slightest trace of injury.
'Yugito' pondered slightly. The feeling just now—why did it feel like kicking steel?
Could it be... Grimmjow paused, then burst into laughter, the excitement in his eyes practically overflowing.
"I see. So you are a 'Cat'?"
'Yugito's' expression didn't change at all. It was Matatabi, after all.
But Grimmjow's next words made its expression change.
"What a coincidence. You and I belong to the same family of animals..."
"You are a cat, but I am a leopard..."
