****************
Colt was well aware of Hinata's current strength.
She had surpassed Kurenai and became the strongest among them.
Hinata's physical talent was terrifying, and even Tsunade had once praised her for possessing enormous chakra reserves.
From a close-up perspective, Hinata had essentially reached the Kage-level already.
However, that was the extent of her abilities.
Hinata's Hundred Healings Mark hadn't been developed yet, and she lacked the explosiveness and resilience. If she couldn't get close to the enemy, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Colt wondered about the Hyuga clan's difficulties with attribute changes.
Hinata even struggled to master C-level [Lightning Style] techniques.
The other clan members, too, rarely used ninjutsu outside their family secret techniques.
However, these were minor issues.
Once Hinata awakened the Tenseigan, she would have access to long-range abilities like the [Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion], [Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion], and the [Truth-Seeking Ball].
These three techniques would be more than sufficient.
This was why Colt believed Hinata had the most potential.
It was the advantage of her bloodline, which couldn't be erased.
Yet, a problem remained: Where was the passage to the moon?
Rubbing his forehead helplessly, Colt realized it would be difficult to improve Hinata's strength in the short term. Fortunately, he had a backup plan.
"Sir," two Anbu greeted, jumping out from the shadows as Colt approached a residential house.
"Keep watch. I'll go in and have a look," Colt said, dismissing them with a wave of his hand.
He knew who lived here: Yugito Nii, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki.
Yugito was supposed to have died during the tailed beast extraction, but Colt had saved her life.
Tsunade had placed her under house arrest, and her chakra was restricted by a seal.
"Kamiyo Colt..." Yugito muttered, her ponytail fluttering behind her as she fidgeted nervously.
Colt's actions had been too much for her to process.
He had not only defeated her but also used her as a tool to fight the Eight-Tails.
Yet, in the end, he had saved her life.
Now, face-to-face with him, Yugito didn't know how to react momentarily.
But her favorability to him inevitably increased.
"Yugito, do you want to seek revenge against the Akatsuki?" Colt asked directly.
"You mean the people who captured me?" Yugito responded, taken aback.
Colt nodded.
"If you help me protect a few people, I can promise you the chance to take revenge yourself."
He planned to have Yugito serve as a bodyguard for Hinata and the others.
As a battle-hardened Jinchūriki, her presence, along with the information Colt could provide, would ensure their safety.
"But I've lost the tailed beast. I'm only as strong as a high-level Jōnin now," Yugito said with a wry smile.
Of course, she wanted revenge too.
Those two Akatsuki members had only defeated her through strange means.
Given another chance, she was certain she'd win.
But without Matatabi, what can she do?
80% of her abilities relied on the tailed beast's chakra. She felt like a tiger without teeth.
"Don't worry about that. I have the ability to bring you back to your peak for a short time," Colt interrupted her self-doubt. Looking her in the eyes, he added.
"However, you must prove your sincerity. Otherwise, I won't let you near the people I care about."
When he said this, he couldn't help but wonder why the look in her eyes toward him had changed.
'What's wrong with her? Why is she looking at me so tenderly?'
Yugito remained silent for a moment, then smiled and replied.
"No problem. I'll show you my sincerity."
Colt nodded with satisfaction and was about to place a seal on her, since that was what he meant, however Yugito's next action completely shocked him.
She slowly unzipped her bodysuit, her face turning red.
"I'll show you, Colt," she muttered.
**********
Two hours later, Colt looked at the exhausted Yugito, scratching his head in confusion.
This wasn't what he had planned at all. Not that he hadn't enjoyed it.
"Are you satisfied now?" Yugito asked, her voice tired but happy.
He nodded his head and smiled back.
However, despite feeling that she did have some feelings for him, it was too soon for him to trust her just yet.
Colt pondered for a few seconds, then reached out towards Yugito.
He placed a seal on her stomach.
"I'm sorry, while I want to trust you, you are after all from another village and this is too soon"
"Kamiyo Colt, you bastard!" Yugito looked at the seal on her stomach with indignation.
This scumbag had taken so much from her, and he still didn't trust her.
"Don't look at me like that. After all, I don't know if you're using your charms to deceive me," Colt said seriously.
But Yugito was angry at that.
She had given him her first time? This bastard took everything and still didn't trust her!
"I'll remove it in the future if you prove to me that I can trust you,"
She just puffed her cheeks and turned the other side.
Ignoring Yugito's resentment, Colt pressed his palm against her smooth belly with slight force.
"This... this is Matatabi's chakra?" Yugito asked in disbelief as she felt the familiar power.
"Yes, I simulated it. But this power will disappear once it's used up, so use it wisely," Colt explained.
After reaching his current state of existence, the power within him had fully fused.
He could simulate the power of all nine-tailed beasts, as they were originally part of the Ten-Tails.
It wasn't difficult to convert his chakra into the Two-Tails form and give it to Yugito, but this power was temporary and would vanish once depleted.
Yugito felt like she was a Two-Tails Jinchūriki again.
No, to be precise, she was now Colt's Jinchūriki.
Her beautiful eyes looked at Colt repeatedly, finding him more mysterious than ever.
"Alright, you stay here for now. I'll let you out when I need you," Colt said as he got dressed, preparing to go greet Tsunade.
As Colt was about to leave, Yugito suddenly smiled and asked.
"So, am I your mistress now?"
Colt stumbled, nearly losing his footing.
What did she mean by 'mistress'? Had this woman misunderstood the situation?
"If you don't understand things, don't speak foolishly. If you talk nonsense when you meet Hinata and the others, I'll seal away even your own chakra," Colt warned before leaving.
"Heh, so he can be teased…" She muttered to herself with a smile.
When Colt arrived at the Hokage building, he encountered Guy and Kakashi, who had been recalled from outside the village.
Together with Jiraiya and Tsunade, the five most powerful people in the Konoha Village had all gathered.
