Yugito Nii

was a kunoichi from Kumogakure, and the jinchūriki of the Two-Tails.

Background
Yugito was made the Two-Tails' jinchūriki at the age of two and, at the end of a detestable training that was imposed on her, she was able to control her transformation into her tailed beast at will. At some point in the anime, Yugito agreed for Nekobaa to obtain the paw print of the Two-Tails for the Paw Encyclopaedia.

Appearance
Yugito had long, straight blonde hair bound with taut bandages and dark eyes. She wore a short-sleeved black and purple blouse, black pants both of which had a design similar to clouds on them, purple fingerless gloves and a chain of white beads wound around her left hand. She also wore the standard Kumo forehead protector, sandals and kunai holster which was strapped to her right thigh. She also wore bandages around her arms and legs as well as a red belt around her waist.

Personality
Yugito gained confidence in herself through hard work, making her a proud, wise, and courageous kunoichi. Also, it is said that she was firm and thoughtful of her team-mates.

Abilities
Yugito was a highly-skilled and powerful kunoichi that even Killer B looked up to, despite her being younger than him. She was a decent strategist, as she managed to lead two Akatsuki members into a trap which sealed the room, effectively cutting off any escape routes.

Taijutsu
Making her abilities similar to that of a cat, she could make her finger and toe nails grow to become long claws. This increased her taijutsu ability greatly, enabling her to fight with sword users. With the dexterity of the claws on her feet, she could kick and wound the enemy with tremendous force.

Jinchūriki Transformations


Yugito has the ability to transform fully into the Two-Tails, giving her an upgrade in her abilities, such as strength and the ability to breathe fire. The way she transformed was very similar to Naruto's, being slowly covered in a dense blue fire chakra that took the form of the Two-Tails. While Yugito doesn't have control over the Two-Tails, she has complete control over the transformation and how much of its chakra that she would use. Hidan commented before the battle that it would be hard to defeat her with the aid of her tailed beast.

Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
She was first seen running through the sewers from some unknown people, who were later revealed to be Hidan and Kakuzu. When she entered a large room, where all the sewers seemed to meet, she finally stopped. After some bickering between the two Akatsuki members, she revealed that she had intentionally led them there, and activated an explosive tag on the tunnel behind them, sealing them in. Knowing that they were from Akatsuki, she fully transformed into the Two-Tails. However, after a battle that devastated the landspace, she was taken down by Hidan, and brought to the Akatsuki lair by Zetsu. The Two-Tails was extracted from her body, resulting in her death.

Shinobi World War Arc
In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Yugito is resurrected by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces, before being mobilised alongside the other deceased jinchūriki.

As dawn breaks on the second day, it is revealed that Tobi had turned the revived jinchūriki into his own customised Six Paths of Pain, with each having a Rinnegan and Sharingan in place of their left and right eyes respectively. Yugito is later seen traveling together with Tobi, in pursuit of Naruto and Killer B. Encountering their desired targets, the revived jinchūriki were sent into battle. With the enemy blinded by Fū, Yugito attacks them directly alongside Han, where she clashes with B and his swords. Extending the toenails of her right foot, she attempts to kick him, but B manages to evade the blow. However, when this initial assault fails, she like the others, unleashes the power of her tailed beast by materialising the first of its tails.

Legacy
When Yugito was captured, Kumogakure tried desperately to save her. Rescue teams were sent to investigate Akatsuki lairs, but because there were so many places to look they wasted time, and were unable to get to her before her death. Because of these "mistakes", Kumogakure knew what not to do when Killer B was apparently captured. B's and Yugito's captures by Akatsuki eventually prompt the Fourth Raikage to convene a Kage Summit.
