A was shocked and shouted, feeling the terrifying energy emanating from above.
Despite being the Raikage, he felt powerless under the oppressive dark purple light, like an ant facing an overwhelming force.
Seeing Killer B fully transform into the Eight-Tails, A couldn't stay calm any longer.
"B! Don't be reckless!"
"This thing is not something you can handle alone!"
While a tailed beast can be reborn after a few decades, a jinchuriki's death is final.
Even though Killer B had taken the form of the Eight-Tails, any pain inflicted would be borne by both the beast and A's younger brother.
"I'm sorry, brother! I must protect the village!"
"If this thing goes off, the whole village will be destroyed!"
Killer B, now the Eight-Tails, roared and transformed one of its massive tentacles into a shield, covering everything around them—A, the ninjas of Cloud, and even the Second and Third Raikage.
This was all he could do.
"No! B!"
A's eyes were bloodshot as he roared in despair.
Above them, Orochimaru watched the scene with amusement.
"Protecting those people, huh?"
"But how will you withstand it?"
Killer B fired several Tailed Beast Bombs in an attempt to weaken the Cero's power.
However, the Cero's destructive force wasn't something that Tailed Beast Bombs could diminish. As the bombs collided with the Cero, even the air trembled.
Everyone under Killer B's protection could feel the intense vibrations from the ground.
Due to the spiritual pressure, both the Second and Third Raikage were temporarily immobilized.
The spiritual pressure seemed to affect their souls directly, which is why they hadn't attacked A.
Their hearts were filled with horror and fear, much like A's. They didn't understand what was happening to Cloud village.
"Boom—"
In the next moment, the terrifying Cero struck the massive body of the Eight-Tails.
The devastating power exploded, enveloping the entire Cloud village in a dazzling dark purple light.
The Eight-Tails let out a heart-wrenching howl. The ninjas protected inside felt as if a kunai had been stabbed into their hearts.
Some collapsed to their knees, their eyes brimming with tears.
"Lord B!"
"B!"
A staggered back a few steps, his body trembling as he heard the Eight-Tails' agonized screams, which echoed Killer B's own excruciating pain.
The Third Raikage felt the same.
Though Killer B wasn't his son, he had always regarded him as an adopted son. Seeing Killer B sacrifice himself to protect them deeply affected him.
The Cero's residual power continued to shock the surroundings.
The Eight-Tails' massive body was being torn apart, its pain reaching its peak.
Killer B, in his tailed beast form, trembled constantly, holding on with sheer willpower.
"Boom—"
The Cero erupted again, annihilating everything in its path.
The land, rocks, trees, buildings, and even the mountain overlooking Cloud village were reduced to dust.
Only a third of the village remained after the light dissipated.
Seeing the immense spiritual energy, Orochimaru couldn't help but swallow. He wanted to devour all this energy.
For a hollow, this was a feast.
However, Orochimaru held back his urges. Without orders from Ryujiro, he didn't dare make decisions about these souls.
Letting these souls return to the Pure Land would be a waste.
Killer B's consciousness was on the verge of collapse, and the Eight-Tails suffered the same damage.
The massive body of the Eight-Tails, burnt and scarred from the Cero, especially its arms, used to block the attack, were utterly ruined.
Though tailed beasts are made of chakra, they are also living beings. The pain they endured was akin to that of humans.
While tailed beasts possess vast amounts of chakra, it wasn't enough to withstand the Cero.
If Killer B hadn't been protecting the village and its ninjas, he might not have had to pay such a terrible price.
But now, Killer B's consciousness finally gave out, and he collapsed.
With a "boom," a huge cloud of smoke enveloped the area as the unconscious Killer B fell from the sky.
B's eyes rolled back as he was gravely injured. If he wasn't a Jinchuriki, he would have died long ago.
"B!"
A shouted in despair, rushing forward frantically.
At that moment!
Water Style: Water Shark Bullet!
A massive shark-shaped water bullet appeared, biting towards A without mercy.
"Get out of the way!"
A exploded with violent Lightning Style chakra, throwing a punch at the water shark coming at him.
"What?!"
A was stunned; he couldn't destroy the jutsu.
The shark absorbed his chakra, swelling in size and increasing in power.
"Damn, I don't have time to mess around with you freaks."
Kisame, sweating coldly, had been posing as a Cloud ninja, waiting for a chance to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki for Akatsuki.
The fearsome energy and blinding flash were more terrifying than what he and Itachi had experienced at Orochimaru's base, especially the light that seemed to annihilate everything.
Kisame released all his chakra, sending the Water Shark Bullet crashing down.
Simultaneously, Kisame grabbed Killer B and fled Cloud village without hesitation.
"Bastard! Put B down!"
A's face twisted in rage.
Ignoring the shouts behind him, Kisame thought.
'Put him down? No way. I risked my life to come here. If you stay here, you'll all die at the hands of that monster!'
The shinobi world would undergo a huge change because of this.
