Boom!
Boom!
The earth-shattering explosion rattled the entire area!
Even the thick mist that usually hung over Yunlei Gorge was torn apart by the violent force.
Vroom!!!
Vroom!!!
At the heart of the Rasengan's explosion, a radiant light, as bright as the sun, erupted, shattering in a brilliant flash.
In an instant.
Shisui and Kakashi's eyes locked in disbelief as they witnessed the explosive brilliance.
The image seemed to freeze in time.
Then, they saw Killer Bee, drenched in blood, plummeting from mid-air, his dark red chakra cloak torn apart halfway.
It was a massacre!
In a single blow, the so-called unbeatable defense of the Jinchuriki was shattered!
Boom!
The ground trembled!
Killer Bee crashed violently into the earth, sending the massive platform crumbling beneath him.
Rocks shattered and dust swirled into the air.
Shisui and Kakashi had to leap high into the air to avoid the falling debris.
Amid the dust cloud.
Cough… Cough, cough…
Killer Bee spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, his gaze fixed on the faint white figure in the distance, his heart filled with an overwhelming sense of dread.
Anbu Kazuya...
How did he become so strong!?
This was impossible!
Even his brother couldn't have so easily shattered his semi-tailed beast chakra cloak!
That was a defense far beyond the Lightning Release Armor!
Why?
Why was this happening!?
Killer Bee was completely bewildered. Was there a ninja in this world who could overpower him while in a normal form!?
The Jinchuriki!
The ultimate weapon that surpasses all other ninjas!
Unbeatable defense, unmatched power!
Only the highest-level ninjas, like Kage-level and above, had the strength to challenge a Jinchuriki directly!
And even then, only a few elite ninjas could suppress a Jinchuriki in physical combat!
And now, Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, was being nearly torn apart by an ordinary ninja, using nothing but basic taijutsu!!!
What the hell!?
Unbelievable!
Did this Konoha Anbu, Kazuya, have body strength comparable to the Third Raikage!?
This was insane!
Killer Bee's face twisted with disbelief.
"Useless Bee!"
At that moment, a deep, rumbling voice echoed in Killer Bee's mind: "You need to fight seriously, but if you do, that Konoha guy will kill you."
"I can feel it…"
"His aura is far beyond that of the Third Raikage, you need to be careful, or we really will die!"
Killer Bee, stunned, responded, "You're saying he's even more terrifying than the Third Raikage? This is unbelievable. But, Small Eight, you might be right... this is crazy!"
Even the carefree Killer Bee was starting to take things seriously. No more joking around!
Damn!
If he kept playing around, he might get killed!
This was a life-or-death moment, no time for jokes!
In the distance.
Kazuya, wearing his majestic white god robe, floated gently down from the sky.
Endless golden light shot toward him.
[You have collected 2000 Chakra points]
[You have collected 2000 Chakra points]
[You have collected 1500 Chakra points]
[You have collected 3000 Tailed Beast power]
[You have collected 4000 Tailed Beast power]
[You have collected 6000 Tailed Beast power]
...
The golden light exploded in waves.
Since the start of the battle, Kazuya had gathered over 30,000 Chakra points and almost 50,000 Tailed Beast power!
This was a true jackpot!
An explosive harvest!
The Eight-Tails!
One of the strongest Tailed Beasts!
If Kazuya couldn't collect high-quality golden light from such a top-tier experience package, it would truly be a surprise!
The only problem was that Killer Bee's unpredictable nature was a challenge.
Unless Kazuya kept pushing him to his limit, Killer Bee wouldn't take the fight seriously.
It was nothing like Jiraiya, who, without saying a word, would activate Sage Mode and bring the heat!
In the distance.
A dozen Cloud Village ninjas rushed in to provide support, their faces filled with shock and disbelief as they saw the battered, bloodied Killer Bee.
"Lord Bee… how could he lose so horribly?"
"This… this is impossible!"
"It looks like Konoha's Anbu... with 'Will of Fire' written on his back!"
"Are you serious? Is this the time to discuss the writing?"
"That Konoha Anbu managed to destroy Bee's semi-tailed beast form… is it Genjutsu?"
Slap!
"Why are you slapping me!?"
"I wanted to check if I was under Genjutsu!"
"Dammit, can't you slap yourself!?"
The Cloud ninjas were losing their minds. The invincible Bee of their village was being dominated by a Konoha Anbu.
How could this be!?
"Could it be...?"
"Is it that man?"
"Who?"
"Anbu Kazuya!!!"
"What?"
The leader of the Cloud ninjas froze for a moment, then quickly shouted, "This is bad! Konoha's Anbu Commander, Kazuya, is here! Quickly, go inform the Raikage! Hurry!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, two of the fastest ninjas darted off toward the distance.
"Everyone..."
"Follow me!"
"Support Lord Bee!"
"Kill them!!"
The dozen or so Cloud ninjas roared as they charged forward.
Outnumbered!
Who's afraid of who?!
However!
Before they could even reach halfway, two figures appeared before them.
Uchiha Shisui!
Kakashi!
"Heh!"
Looking at the Cloud ninjas, Shisui sneered inwardly. "The mighty Uchiha, who couldn't handle Killer Bee, is now facing you guys. What a joke!"
"Black Snow!"
Shisui said seriously, "We cannot let these people interfere with Kazuya-sama's battlefield!"
"No problem!"
Kakashi's right hand glowed with dazzling lightning.
"Raikiri!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
"Lightning Style: Lightning Ball!"
"Water Style: Water Wall!"
In an instant.
Shisui and Kakashi were engaged in battle with the dozen or so Cloud ninjas who had come to support.
Among them were several Jonin-level ninjas, making the fight quite intense.
The chaos of ninjutsu clashes had ensnared the two!
Jonin!
These were elite-level fighters, and in a small ninja village, Jonin could easily be the leader!
Several Jonin working together, even against someone like Shisui—who was on the verge of shadow-level—required caution. It would take time to finish this battle!
Meanwhile, Kazuya was walking slowly toward Killer Bee.
A powerful surge of energy radiated from him, distorting the very light around him.
Level 5 Tailed Beast power is fully activated!
Fighting against a Jinchuriki like Killer Bee required immense power to maintain control of the battlefield!
Now, Kazuya was like a humanoid-tailed beast. The energy boost from the Tailed Beast chakra vastly surpassed Killer Bee's transformation!
At this moment, Killer Bee was still in a state of utter confusion. He couldn't understand how an ordinary human, without any special ninjutsu techniques, could overwhelm him in close combat!
This was simply unreal!
Meanwhile, his dark red chakra cloak was slowly healing, the terrifying Tailed Beast chakra continuing to flow.
"Little Eight..."
"It's time to go all out!"
"Oh yeah!!!"
Killer Bee raised his right hand to the sky, striking a classic rapper pose.
Here it comes!
Aaaahhhhhh!!!
Roar!
In the blink of an eye, Killer Bee shot toward Kazuya like a comet.
"First Eight Slash!"
"Aaaahhh!!!"
Boom!!!
The terrifying force exploded!
The wind howled as the shockwave swept the area.
In an instant, two figures were sent flying and landed several hundred meters away on a lake.
"Speed..."
"Not bad!"
Kazuya gave a positive evaluation.
In terms of raw power, Killer Bee in his semi-tailed beast form was already a high-level shadow ninja, even bordering on super-shadow status.
Even the older Sarutobi Hiruzen would have trouble taking him on.
But against Kazuya, everything was under control!
"Still useless!"
Killer Bee gritted his teeth.
This Anbu Kazuya's reaction time and speed were beyond anything he'd ever seen, even more exaggerated than Konoha's Fourth Hokage!
Add that to the terrifying strength and inhuman physique—defeating him with taijutsu was an impossible feat!
This is insane!
At this moment, even Killer Bee, who normally looked down on everyone, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of dread.
Kazuya…
This guy was like a super version of the Fourth Hokage!
Stronger, faster, harder to defeat!
If this monster trained for another ten years, he'd be the next First Hokage, and no one in the ninja world would be his match!!!
I have to kill him!
For the village!
Instantly, Killer Bee unleashed a terrifying killing intent.
Powerful chakra surged from his body, wreaking havoc in every direction.
Boom!
Boom!
Amidst the deafening roars, a 30-meter-tall horned monster appeared from the lake.
The Eight-Tails Ox Ghost!
Fully transformed into a Tailed Beast!
The true form of the Eight-Tails had arrived!
In the next moment, a surge of Tailed Beast chakra erupted from Yunlei Gorge, shaking the very heavens.
Boom!
In an instant, the clouds in the sky were shattered!
"Roar!"
"Roar!!!"
The Eight-Tails Ox Ghost let out terrifying roars.
The Tailed Beast!
The ultimate weapon of the ninja world had returned!
The Eight-Tails Ox Ghost wildly opened its massive mouth, and in the blink of an eye, a Tailed Beast Ball over ten meters in diameter formed.
Vroom!
Vroom!
The Tailed Beast Ball hummed with destruction, filling the air with a devastating aura!
"Finally!"
Behind his mask, Kazuya's expression finally turned excited.
After a thorough beating, Killer Bee finally unleashed his trump card.
At this moment.
In mid-air.
Endless golden light shot toward Kazuya.
[You have collected 500 Chakra points]
[You have collected 1000 Chakra points]
[You have collected 2000 Chakra points]
[You have collected 8000 Tailed Beast power]
[You have collected 10,000 Tailed Beast power]
[You have collected 10,000 Tailed Beast power]
...
The golden light exploded, continuing without end.
Since the beginning of the battle, Kazuya had gathered over 30,000 Chakra points and nearly 50,000 Tailed Beast power!
This was a true jackpot!
An explosive harvest!
The Eight-Tails!
One of the strongest Tailed Beasts!
If Kazuya couldn't get high-quality golden light from such a top-tier experience package, it would be truly strange!
The only trouble was that Killer Bee's erratic nature was making things difficult.
Unless Kazuya pushed him to his limits, Killer Bee wouldn't take the fight seriously.
Unlike Jiraiya, who would just activate Sage Mode without a word and dive into battle!
[You have collected 6000 Tailed Beast power]
[You have collected 300 Sharingan power]
[You have collected 500 Sharingan power]
[You have collected 200 Tailed Beast Ball experience]
[You have collected 300 Tailed Beast Ball experience]
[Your Tailed Beast Ball has leveled up, current level: lv4 (0/1000)]
The golden light was overwhelming!
A terrifying burst of energy!
In just a moment!
Killer Bee's body released over 30,000 points of Tailed Beast power!
He had truly lost it!
He wanted to kill Kazuya!!!
A reckless, all-out strike!!!
Good!
Kazuya smiled contentedly.
As expected!
These workers are like mules—if you don't beat them, they won't put in the effort!
Look at Killer Bee! After getting a good thrashing, now he's working so hard!
But!
Don't get careless!
The enraged Eight-Tails Jinchuriki still held a terrifying combat ability!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
White smoke exploded in all directions.
Instantly, several shadow clones formed.
Vroom vroom vroom!
Vroom vroom vroom!
"Sage Mode!"
"Wind Style: Rasengan!!!"
The next moment.
Five Rasengans shot toward the Eight-Tails Ox Ghost with terrifying force!
Simultaneously.
The Eight-Tails Ox Ghost fired seven Tailed Beast Balls in rapid succession!
"Continuous Tailed Beast Balls!"
A frenzy of attacks!
"Run!"
"This is too terrifying!"
Far away, Shisui and Kakashi, still locked in battle with the Cloud ninjas, were horrified. They frantically threw their opponents aside and quickly fled the area.
What the hell!
Those violent Rasengans and Tailed Beast Balls were enough to send anyone into a panic!
Moreover, Shisui had witnessed the horrifying power of the Rasengan before.
When it exploded, there would be no life within hundreds of meters!
Now, five Rasengans were being unleashed, and if they didn't run, they'd surely die!!!
Boom!
Boom!
Sage Mode: Rasengan vs Continuous Tailed Beast Balls!
This was a battle far beyond the level of shadow ninjas!
Clash!
Explosion!
Energy rushing through the battlefield!
In just a split second, an indescribable wave of terrifying energy erupted over the lake.
Boom!!!
Water surged into the sky!
A massive wall of water, dozens of meters high, formed from the shockwaves!
In the center of the chaos, the air was filled with blinding white light as explosions rocked the ground.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The fearsome shockwave spread, enveloping the entire area within a thousand-meter radius!
The white light consumed everything!
The green hills!
The stream!
The massive rocks!
All were instantly vaporized like foam!
Boom boom boom!
When the last deafening explosion faded, the Eight-Tails Ox Ghost lay sprawled on the lake, battered and barely conscious.
"It should be done now, Little Eight?"
Killer Bee, a bit shaken, wondered aloud.
That explosion—if not for the Eight-Tails' protection—would have vaporized even him!
"No problem!"
The Eight-Tails Ox Ghost responded confidently. "There's no human who could withstand that explosion!"
"Good..."
Killer Bee sighed in relief.
With that, they had removed a serious threat to the Hidden Cloud Village!
Then!
Just when Killer Bee and the Eight-Tails thought the fight was over...
Crack!
Crack!
The sky darkened.
Suddenly, a brilliant bolt of Kirin lightning took shape.
"What!?"
Killer Bee, sensing the immense power of the thunder, stared wide-eyed.
This attack…
Damn!
That Anbu Kazuya was still alive!!!
Boom!!!
But before Killer Bee could react, the Kirin lightning from the sky roared down, completely engulfing the Eight-Tails Ox Ghost.
"This is bad!"
"We're in big trouble!"
Having felt the terrifying power of the Kirin before, Killer Bee immediately knew just how devastating the technique was.
Instinctively, he severed one of the Eight-Tails' massive tails.
The moment after.
The severed tail sank secretly into the lake.
Boom!
The Kirin's lightning struck!
In an instant, it engulfed the massive Eight-Tails, devastating its form!
"Roar!!!"
The agonized roar of the Eight-Tails echoed through the battlefield.
An indescribable force of energy ripped through its body, shattering it like paper.
In an instant.
The lightning formed a hellish grid, spreading across the hundreds of meters around it!
"Heh..."
"Sage Mode Kirin. Care to try it out?"
Kazuya's smile was warm and serene behind his mask.
A clash?
With chakra, Sage energy, and Tailed Beast power all at level 5, Kazuya wasn't afraid of anyone!
Bring it on!
Whoever backs down is the loser!
The battlefield was ablaze with the fury of lightning!
In an instant, a continuous stream of brilliant golden light completely enveloped Kazuya.
