****************
"Roar!"
Killer Bee, transformed into his Version 1 cloak, roared skyward, the sound released shaking the world.
The ninjas of both countries, who had been battling far away, stepped back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Positive and negative chakra fused in a certain ratio to form a high-concentration-tailed beast ball.
"Colt, be careful! That's a [Tailed Beast Ball]!"
Kakashi, his Sharingan now fully awakened, looked on in horror.
He recalled that night thirteen years ago. If the Fourth Hokage hadn't teleported the [Tailed Beast Ball] away, all of Konoha would have been destroyed.
The tomoe in his eyes spun frantically as if a burst of energy was about to erupt from his body.
But it still fell short.
Damn it!
Kakashi pounded the ground in frustration.
Almost, just a little bit more!
He had a hunch that if that power appeared, it would definitely make a difference!
The [Tailed Beast Ball] spewed from Killer Bee's mouth like a cannonball. Though not as massive as a fully transformed Tailed Beast's attack, its chakra density was still terrifying.
As one of the most devastating attacks in the ninja world, it carved a deep ravine just by flying over the ground.
Colt raised his right hand, and a [Rasengan] grew continuously in size.
He intended to meet this attack head-on!
"[Massive Rasengan]!"
A [Rasengan] that looked even larger than the [Tailed Beast Ball] appeared in Colt's hands and directly collided with the oncoming attack!
The dazzling blue sphere of light met the pitch-black [Tailed Beast Ball], and the entire battlefield felt their ears ringing as they briefly went deaf.
Then...
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted from the center.
The resulting shockwave spread in a circular shape, tossing many people about like ragdolls.
Colt was also thrown back a distance.
Just as he stabilized himself, the beast-like Killer Bee rushed at him again.
[Gate of Life], open!
Green chakra flames erupted all over his body, and Colt punched like lightning, slamming Killer Bee into the ground once more.
After a short delay, the earth suddenly cracked, and huge chunks of rubble flew into the air.
The battlefield was completely devastated.
The Cloud and Leaf ninjas stopped fighting by an unspoken agreement and continued to retreat.
What was the point of killing each other when they still had to wait for the outcome between their leaders?
Not to mention they could get caught in the way.
The Eight-Tails, worthy of being the Tailed Beast second only to the Nine-Tails, took a punch from the [Gate of Life] but wasn't affected much.
Bee was still alive and kicking.
If it had been the Two-Tails, it would have been holding its head in pain long ago.
Shaking off his dizziness, Killer Bee's aura soared as he spat out several small [Tailed Beast Balls] in rapid succession.
The [Susanoo] reappeared to block the attacks. Two rasengans were thrown out, causing another explosion.
"Gyūki, let's fully transform."
Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails were of one mind, instantly transforming into the full-tailed Beast form.
A giant ox with octopus tentacles for tails appeared before everyone. One of the tentacles was broken – chopped off by the Fourth Raikage when he was young.
Standing tall, it brought an unparalleled sense of oppression. Many Leaf shinobis found it difficult to breathe.
Meanwhile, the Cloud ninjas cheered. With the full Eight-Tails out, victory was assured.
"Kakashi, what should we do?"
Chōza looked tiny in front of Gyūki. He was a little worried about Colt.
"Don't worry. If this goes south, we're all dead, but Colt will be fine. Don't forget, he's a master of the [Flying Thunder God]."
Kakashi looked solemn as he ordered the Leaf shinobis to continue retreating.
"The Eight-Tails form? Tch."
A trace of annoyance flashed in Colt's eyes.
"You think you're the only ones with Tailed Beasts? We have them too!"
As he spoke, Colt began forming hand seals.
Inside Killer Bee's mindscape.
"Oh no, did he say the Leaf's Tailed Beast? They wouldn't bring that nasty fox here, would they?"
Gyūki's voice was a little panicked. He didn't want to meet the perverted Nine-Tails.
As was well known, when the Sage of Six Paths split the Ten-Tails' chakra, either his cutting skills weren't great, or his math was off.
One part for the Nine-Tails, one for One-Tail, another for the Nine-Tails, and one for the Two-Tails…
That was clearly biased.
Although the Eight-Tails was the strongest among the others, it could only resist for a short while against that stinky fox.
Seeing the Eight-Tails so panicked, Killer Bee also grew anxious.
"[Summoning Jutsu]!"
Clapping his hands together, the smoke dissipated to reveal a figure before Colt.
"It's Yugito-sama!"
"Yugito-sama!"
The Cloud shinobis exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, it was their village's Two-Tails Jinchūriki that Colt had summoned!
"Damn it! What's Yugito being summoned for, as a shield?"
Killer Bee's voice was a little frightened, and his concertation was affected.
However, in the next second, he nearly bit through his teeth in rage!
"Yugito, let them experience the power of the Two-Tails."
Black sealing runes covered Yugito's body as she completely lost consciousness.
As Colt's Mangekyō began to spin, the same pattern appeared in Yugito's eyes!
ROAR!
The ground shook as Yugito transformed into a blue demon cat, its bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Gyūki in the distance.
Colt stood atop the Two-Tails' head, looking very excited, like a child playing with a new toy.
"Come on, Killer Bee. Let me see the strength of the Eight-Tails!"
With that, the Two-Tails' mouth spewed a massive fireball as it charged towards the Eight-Tails.
In desperation, Killer Bee could only engage in close combat with the Two-Tails.
At the same time, he had Gyūki try to awaken the controlled Two-Tails through the telepathy shared between the Tailed Beasts.
It was futile.
Colt had blocked both the Two-Tails and Yugito's consciousness with layers of seals, rendering Gyūki's efforts useless.
Under Colt's control, the Two-Tails deliberately moved towards the Cloud shinobis with the Eight-Tails.
Although the Eight-Tails was stronger, Killer Bee didn't dare use too much force, so he could only try to restrain it.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Tailed Beasts could easily level vast forests just by moving around, let alone in fierce combat.
After some close-quarters fighting, dozens of Cloud shinobis were killed by the collateral damage.
This can't go on!
Killer Bee steeled his heart.
Two massive arms firmly restrained the Two-Tails' movements as several [Tailed Beast Balls] spewed from his mouth.
"AAARGH!!"
The Two-Tails' scream was horrifying!
