"Why did you apologize to him, Sister Samui?!"
Karui looked at Samui, who had followed them, with a displeased expression on his face.
Even Omoi, who was standing nearby, couldn't stop them no matter how hard he tried.
Heavens above! Earth below!
Samui big sister, will kill him later!
Omoi's face fell into despair, and he was on the verge of tears.
Samui first glanced at Omoi, who was hiding to the side, then looked at Karui and said coldly:
"So what?"
"If you don't apologize, what do you think you can do?"
Although Killer B was only Samui's swordsmanship teacher, that doesn't mean Samui was unaware of Killer B's strength.
To put it bluntly, what if our Fourth Raikage wasn't prepared?
They would probably all be defeated by Killer B, after all, Killer B possesses the Eight-Tails, the Tailed Beast, and is known as the most perfect Jinchūriki.
What can Karui and Omoi, two rookies who aren't even Genin, possibly do?
"I--"
Karui was still unconvinced, after all, this was their own village, why should they be afraid of someone from Konoha.
Swish--
Samui immediately pulled out the Kunai he was carrying and pressed it against Karui's forehead.
His eyes were filled with indifference, and he said in a neutral tone:
"See, you can't even defend against me."
"What else do you think you can do? He's a Jonin, a Jonin that even I have no confidence in facing."
Karui felt the warmth sliding down his forehead and gritted his teeth involuntarily.
"Good···"
"I see."
Samui spun around gracefully and retrieved the Kunai, then turned and walked away.
"From now on, you two will go back to Valley of Clouds and Lightning and stay with Teacher Killer B. You are not allowed to leave."
"Yes, boss!"
Omoi, who had been playing the role of the invisible one, hurriedly responded loudly, his voice almost splitting.

As Hagoromo rested at her lodgings, she felt the gazes behind her and couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness on her face.
Turning around to Hiruzen Sarutobi behind him, he said with a hint of helplessness:
"Master, could you please go and rest for a while?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze was truly bizarre, and...
Kakashi, standing next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, wore the same expression.
Only Shisui seemed not to have reacted, looking at Hagoromo with a bewildered expression, then at the Third Hokage.
"Hehe, Hagoromo, I remember you're already eighteen, right?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a chuckle, though it was clear he was asking a question he already knew the answer to.
"Ah, yes, I'm eighteen now. By normal standards, I'm considered long-lived."
Hagoromo rubbed his temples helplessly and responded to Hiruzen Sarutobi with a hint of annoyance.
Snap--
The next instant, Hagoromo's forehead was slapped down by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Aww!
Yu Yi, who had been suddenly struck by the palm Hagoromo, covered his head. He recovered quickly, but that didn't mean he wasn't in pain.
"Stop saying that!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said irritably, but then flicked his hand behind his back.
Really hard--
"Yes, yes--"
Hagoromo could only respond helplessly, saying that at least it had diverted Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention.
Kakashi, standing to the side, couldn't help but smile; it was the first time he'd seen Hagoromo in such an embarrassed state.

"Baka yarou~"
In Valley of Clouds and Lightning, Killer B Bee was making strange hand gestures and muttering to himself.
Completely oblivious to the dozen or so people guarding him not far away, he was entertaining himself.
Since he escaped last time and returned to recover from his injuries and be able to get out of bed, the Fourth Raikage has strictly forbidden Killer B from stepping out of the Valley of Clouds and Lightning.
Furthermore, they specially dispatched an elite squad of about ten people to keep an eye on Killer B.
"Hey, Bi, can't you just get some rest?"
Inside Killer B, the Eight-Tails' voice spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"No, I just had a new idea, I need to remember it."
Killer B pulled out a notebook from his pocket, his brow furrowing slightly as he began to take notes.
Upon hearing this, the Eight-Tails inside Killer B sighed helplessly.
Having been inside Killer B all along, how could the Eight-Tails not know Killer B's thoughts?
Don't let Killer B's carefree attitude fool you; he's just as competitive as anyone else.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have walked straight past that Lightning Release Ninjutsu without any hesitation.
"Master!"
A voice rang out, and then two figures stepped into Valley of Clouds and Lightning.
The squad leader who was watching over Killer B glanced at it briefly and then ignored it.
Killer B had just finished taking notes, closed his notebook and then looked over.
"Yo, Karui, Omoi."
"Where did you all go so early in the morning?"
However, Killer B's brows furrowed the next moment.
Where are your knives?
As Killer B's swordsmanship disciples, Karui and Omoi both carried swords chosen for them by Killer B.
It's strange that I don't have it with me now.
Omoi then realized what was happening and looked annoyed.
His sword wasn't broken, but it was still with Hagoromo.
"Teacher, I ran into that person! He destroyed the knife!"
Karui, without any hesitation, spoke with obvious displeasure.
Omoi tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Killer B, on the other hand, kept his expression blank, making it impossible to discern his attitude.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "That person from Konoha, huh?"
"Yes, teacher! I was planning to avenge you, but I didn't expect that guy to block my attack in a single move."
Karui nodded, knowing that although she wasn't Genin yet, she Chunin still stronger than most chunin.
Her teacher was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, the brother of the Fourth Raikage.
Killer B didn't say anything upon hearing this, but instead looked at Omoi.
After all, compared to Karui's impulsiveness and lack of planning, Omoi is cautious and serious.
He simply couldn't believe that these two disciples could fight Hagoromo head-on.
"Killer B, we tried to ambush you, but we failed."
Omoi nodded, but in his heart he was thinking about what to do.
I had already warned Karui not to say such things in front of Killer B Bee before I came, but it still happened.
Will Killer B's master rush out of the Valley of Clouds and Lightning later?
If Sister Samui finds out, will I get beaten to death?
Thinking of this, Omoi felt that his whole life was bleak, and once again he wanted to cry but couldn't.
"Understood. Go back to training. I'll get you all a new knife later."
Killer B nodded and said expressionlessly.
Huh?!
Not only was Omoi, who had just been feeling pessimistic, but even Karui, who was initially quite annoyed, was taken aback.
Killer B Bee seems a little different.
Killer B, on the other hand, turned and walked towards his resting place not far away.
Only the Eight-Tails within him roared incessantly, "Bi! Don't be impulsive!"
Hearing the Eight-Tails' words, Killer B chuckled and said:
"Baka yarou~ I'm Killer B!"
