After activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke started to revert back to his shameless self. He didn't feel the least bit humble despite his lofty ambitions. Indeed, old habits were hard to change. He had continued to boast about using the Akatsuki organization, completely oblivious to his own inadequacy. He thought he could utilize them, but in reality, he was being used.
However, regardless of the situation, he had followed his original path. Believing he was using the Akatsuki, he had actually been manipulated by them, heading towards the Kumogakure. Evidently, they intended to capture the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki. Unfortunately for him, his arrogance from activating the Mangekyou Sharingan led him to a rude awakening. He had not foreseen that when facing the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, he would end up battered and weak, his intestines nearly hanging out.
If it hadn't been for the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki's intention to escape the village and play around in the Ninja World, intentionally leaving a clone behind to endure Amaterasu's flames, he would have met his end, even with his Visual Jutsu. He even claimed to be using the Akatsuki, and despite having the Mangekyou Sharingan, he had only managed to bring back a clone. It was truly laughable. His power and performance couldn't be considered as manipulation; he was merely being toyed with by the Akatsuki and the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki.
"Are you the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?" Sasuke asked the man before him, who carried seven weapons.
"Yeah, you got it right. I'm the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki, Killer B…!" After a brief self-introduction, the Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki, Killer B, began to hum in his peculiar and eccentric tone, causing Suigetsu to lose his patience and charge forward.
However, holding the Executioner's Blade, he was utterly powerless in front of Killer B. He blocked the sword with a clang, and simultaneously, his right fist struck out, his right foot grounded, and his left foot launched a spring-like kick. The rapidity of his attacks caught Suigetsu off guard, and he was sent flying before he could even liquefy.
"Suigetsu!" Jugo immediately entered a cursed seal state, his enormous fist aimed at Killer B. However, facing such an attack, Killer B didn't even bother looking and simply dodged, then wielding the Executioner's Blade that he had just taken from Suigetsu, he slashed at Jugo's head, as if attempting to decapitate him.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"
Sasuke immediately rushed forward, using his Kusanagi sword to stab the small circle on the Executioner's Blade, pinning it to the ground. He followed up with a stylish spinning kick directed at Killer B, but Killer B didn't even take a step back; he stood still, unaffected. His power was still insufficient against Killer B.
"Great, inspiration is flowing abundantly today. If this keeps up, I might consider not killing you useless members of the Akatsuki." As Jiraiya had long informed the Akatsuki's presence, coupled with the Two-Tails' Jinchuuriki managing to escape, the Raikage was extremely furious.
Concerned that his younger brother might do the same, the Raikage had made elaborate arrangements to protect the Jinchuriki. He knew that Killer B was a playful person, possibly taking this opportunity to sneak away. Hence, he secretly placed many surveillance points nearby without Killer B's knowledge. So, when Sasuke arrived, someone had already informed the Raikage.
This time, Killer B's plan to intentionally pretend to lose and escape with a clone, leaving the real body behind to endure the flames of Amaterasu, was probably no longer feasible. Facing a situation where he couldn't feign defeat and escape, Killer B, along with the 'Taka' team, truly faced a perilous situation.
Killer B, who was toying with them, had been beaten by Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan to the point where his internal organs were damaged and almost spilling out. If he were to transform and bring a Tailed Beast Bomb here, there would be no surviving—only death. Moreover, Sasuke's team was unaware of the Raikage's imminent arrival, and they couldn't sense the hidden scouts around them. They also couldn't utilize Karin's healing abilities. They was truly in danger.
"Heh heh, here we go." Killer B drew all seven swords at once, attacking Sasuke in an incredibly strange manner. It forced Sasuke to activate his Mangekyou Sharingan just to keep up. However, his body couldn't keep up with the speed of the attacks. He was being completely overwhelmed, with cuts and gashes appearing on Sasuke's face and body.
"Lightning Release: Eight Blades Style!" Killer B shouted, attacking simultaneously. This forced Sasuke to focus on his eyes, but his body couldn't keep up, resulting in him being sent flying and immediately spitting blood. However, he had no Karin to restore his injuries with her chakra.
"Piston Fist!" Jugo, in his cursed mark state, sent Killer B flying from behind, then followed up by launching a continuous series of punches and kicks at Killer B, shattering the earth within a ten-meter radius.
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you attacking, you idiot? I'm right here." Just as Jugo's successful attacks excited Suigetsu, Killer B's odd melody once again echoed. He hadn't been struck to the ground; instead, he had used the Body Flicker Jutsu to evade, appearing behind Jugo. Meanwhile, Jugo was still hammering the ground, and the scene appeared quite awkward.
