Land of Lightning, Valley of Clouds and Lightning.
Sasuke Uchiha's figure quietly appeared.
His objective was to seize the Cloud Village's Eight-Tails jinchuriki, Killer Bee. In contrast to the Akatsuki's method of starting from the One-Tail, Sasuke was directly snatching the strongest Tailed Beast. This way, he would save the Akatsuki the trouble of collecting the Tailed Beasts for him.
The fate of Nagato and Konan was truly somewhat bleak. The number of masterminds behind the scenes, staring at the entire Akatsuki's plan to revive the Ten-Tails, had just increased by one more Uchiha.
As for how to use the Nine-Tails' power, Sasuke already had a draft in his mind. He hoped that when he revived Orochimaru using the curse mark, that guy would be obedient…
"Yo! This bro, never seen you before!"
Someone suddenly extended a finger and tapped Sasuke's shoulder, speaking in a strange, rhythmic tone. "Not a ninja from the village, trespassing in the Land of Lightning!"
Killer Bee curiously watched as Sasuke turned around, stared at his uniform and the headband on his head, and struck a strange pose. "Yo! A ninja from Konoha, I remember this one!"
"…"
Sasuke Uchiha slammed a fist into his face, sending Killer Bee flying. He looked down at his figure and said in a cold voice, "Hey, speak human language to me!"
"Hohohoho! Using a fist for a massage, that feels really good!"
Killer Bee wasn't angry at all. With his physique, a single punch wouldn't seriously injure him. And this guy's personality was truly optimistic…
Until it was a matter of life and death, he would continue to tease his enemies with rap.
If he had encountered Naruto Uzumaki, the two of them would probably have gotten along very well. Unfortunately, Sasuke Uchiha was a serious ninja.
He noted that with that punch just now, he had placed a Flying Thunder God curse mark on Killer Bee. The corner of his mouth twitched. "As long as you like it!"
A purple flash of light suddenly appeared at Killer Bee's side!
Just as he was somewhat surprised, his face had already been hit by a punch, and his chest was struck by a knee from Sasuke, sending him flying backward in a sorry state!
Before he could even react, Sasuke's figure abruptly appeared behind him. A kick struck his back, stomping his entire person to the ground!
Sasuke stepped on Killer Bee's body, bent down to look at the bruised and swollen Eight-Tails jinchuriki, and said softly, "Do you need me to help you remember?"
"…Hah!"
Killer Bee touched his cheek, and two streams of hot tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes. "It's been so many years since I've seen it… that guy's Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Back during the Third Great Ninja War, the Konoha Jonin Minato Namikaze had fought against the Fourth Raikage, A, and the Eight-Tails jinchuriki, Killer Bee, by himself. Relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had beaten the Fourth Raikage, who was renowned for his speed, until he was looking for his teeth all over the ground!
After that great battle, Minato and A had agreed to face off in the future as 'Kage'. They just hadn't expected that there would be no chance to meet again…
Sasuke nodded reservedly. "That's right, it's the Flying Thunder God Technique! Hey, Killer Bee, I need to borrow the Eight-Tails inside you. If you're obedient, I can give you a chance to live…"
"Then let's have a man's battle!"
Killer Bee's body twisted. He suddenly flipped over and stood up. Then, the seven ninja swords he carried were clamped one by one in his hands, between his elbows, and even between his knees!
"This ninja sword thing… is really troublesome!"
Sasuke looked at Killer Bee's stance and couldn't help but mutter to himself. The problem was that he had focused most of his energy on training his taijutsu and really couldn't be compared to a sword master like Killer Bee.
Besides that guy Kisame, including the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, it was estimated that few could fight Killer Bee in terms of swordplay!
A towering purple Susanoo shot up from the ground!
Killer Bee's mouth fell open. He looked up at Sasuke Uchiha within the crystal on the Susanoo's forehead, then looked down at the seven short swords in his hands, then at the forty-meter-long ninja sword in the Susanoo's hand, and swallowed hard…
This guy isn't playing human!
The Eight-Tails, Gyuki, had sobered up even earlier. It urged from within Killer Bee's body, "Bee, retreat, quickly! You can't beat him!"
"What on earth is this thing?"
"The appearance of the Susanoo means he has at least the same eyes as the old man…"
The Eight-Tails, Gyuki, within the sealing space, extended an octopus leg and tapped Killer Bee's head. "This time, even I might be controlled by a genjutsu! Retreat, quickly!"
"The old method?"
"Do you have any other choice?"
Just as they were discussing, Sasuke suddenly spoke, "It's best not to choose to cut off your tail to survive. You cannot escape the pursuit of the Flying Thunder God Technique…"
"Think it through clearly… Killer Bee, as a Cloud ninja, you wouldn't want to see me appear inside the Hidden Cloud Village, would you?"
"If that happens, many, many people will die…"
Sasuke's words clearly provoked Killer Bee's emotions. His face flushed red as he charged forward, completely disregarding the huge difference in size between them. He held his seven swords and swung them wildly, hacking at the Susanoo…
CLANG!
CLANG CLANG!
Clearly, the hardness of the ninja swords was not enough to damage the armor of the Perfect Susanoo. They couldn't even cut through its boots…
This move not only left Sasuke dumbfounded but also scared the Eight-Tails inside Killer Bee. "Bee… what are you doing, you idiot?"
"Yo! Just testing!"
Killer Bee pushed up his small sunglasses and patted the Susanoo's boot. "According to my observation, this giant thing, my ninja sword cannot cut through…"
"Hey! Idiot! This is something that doesn't need to be tested at all!"
The Eight-Tails, Gyuki, in the sealing space, knocked Killer Bee to the ground with one of its tails and said in a low voice, "Let me take over your body!"
What was originally thought to be a contest between a Flying Thunder God user and a sword master had, in just a few short minutes, turned into a fantasy battle!
"Tsk, compared to that guy Kurama…" Sasuke looked at the fully transformed Eight-Tails with appreciation and praised it, "Your courage is much greater!"
"Even if you praise me for being stronger than Kurama, I won't let my guard down!"
Although it said so, the Eight-Tails knew in its heart that no Tailed Beast's power could surpass the Nine-Tails, even if it only had one less tail than the Nine-Tails…
If the guy before it had really fought the Nine-Tails, then its hopes of winning were truly slim…
"Have a taste of this!"
The Eight-Tails, Gyuki, opened its mouth to condense Yin-Yang Release chakra. A purplish-black spherical object was slowly forming!
The corner of Sasuke's eye twitched. "…With all due respect, the speed at which you're condensing this Tailed Beast Bomb is not up to standard!"
As his words fell, he manipulated the Susanoo's ninja sword and slashed down!
In this short amount of time, that crow could have released a hundred Tailed Beast Bombs! This Eight-Tails can't even condense a single one!
Two tails shot out abruptly, tightly wrapping around the Susanoo's arm! Another two tails extended, grabbing the Susanoo's ankle!
Although the Eight-Tails knew its strength could not contend with the Susanoo, this amount of time should have been enough to delay it until the Tailed Beast Bomb was condensed…
"Amenotejikara!"
What no one expected was that the Susanoo's figure suddenly vanished from its original spot!
The towering purple Susanoo and the Eight-Tails' body suddenly swapped places. Sasuke manipulated the Susanoo to raise the ninja sword in its hand and fiercely cut through the several tails the Eight-Tails had placed in front of it to block!
Sasuke shook his head. "If it were in the past, perhaps I would have wanted to try using taijutsu to see if I could suppress your power. Unfortunately, this place is too close to the Hidden Cloud Village…"
