Yugito Nii

1. 1
   Sealed at the age of two

   A beast in a small child

   Yugito is made the Two-Tails' jinchūriki as a two-year-old, and put through a detestable training programme — a childhood spent learning to carry a creature far older and fiercer than herself.

   Mastering MatatabiDebut Arc · Kazekage Rescue

   The transformation, won

   At the end of that hard training, Yugito can take the full form of the Two-Tails at will — a control few jinchūriki of her time ever reached.

3. 3
   A jōnin of the Cloud

   Her heart, her village

   Yugito grows into a loyal jōnin of Kumogakure. Whatever the burden the village placed in her, her devotion to it — and to her comrades — never wavers.

4. 4
   The Akatsuki come

   Hidan and Kakuzu, at the gate

   The Akatsuki send Hidan and Kakuzu to Kumogakure to extract the Two-Tails. Yugito faces the pair knowing what they have come for, and what it will cost her.

5. 5
   A last stand for the village

   Leading the danger away

   Yugito leads Hidan and Kakuzu far from Kumogakure, so the battle will not fall on her home. She fights them to her last strength, is brought down — and dies when Matatabi is taken.

6. 6
   Reanimated for a war

   Her body, turned around

   Brought back by Edo Tensei in the Fourth Shinobi World War, Yugito is forced to fight the Allied Shinobi Forces — her loyalty to her village turned, against her will, into a weapon.

Yugito fought as a cat fights — with fire and with claws. She could shape balls of her own burning hair into pursuing forms, grow her nails into long claws able to clash with a swordsman at close range, and, when she needed it, take the full form of the Two-Tails itself. Behind all of it sat the control she had paid a hard childhood to earn.
