"Lariat!"
The stone beneath Killer B's feet cracked instantly, and his body slammed into Orochimaru at an incredible speed.
Orochimaru, who had just sheathed his katana, saw Killer B Orochimaru standing right in front of him, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The last ninja who could show off his skills against this move was Minato Namikaze, but Orochimaru doesn't need to dodge, nor does he intend to.
Orochimaru met Orochimaru's fist with a punch of his own. The moment their fists collided, a gust of wind swept through the air, and the force of the impact caused the ground beneath Orochimaru to explode.
He can even fight against Tailed Beasts head-on, let alone someone who is only Partial Tailed Beast Transformation.
After a brief stalemate, Orochimaru absorbed most of the opponent's kinetic energy and, with a slight effort, sent Killer B flying.
It crashed through two mountain peaks before finally stopping when it landed on the lake.
"Bie! That guy is a monster, he's incredibly strong, you'd better be careful!"
He was sent flying in the first exchange. If it weren't for the protection of the Tailed Beast Cloak, he would probably be dead by now. Killer B was just as shocked as the Eight-Tails.
"Are all the legendary Sannin, renowned throughout the Ninja World, that strong? Looks like we've met our match today!"
As he climbed out of the water, Killer B wiped away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Only then did he remember the other party's specific identity. It's no wonder he was so slow to realize that the most famous of the Third Great Ninja War he participated in was Minato Namikaze.
Orochimaru was a ninja who became famous during World War II and had disappeared for so many years, so it's understandable that he didn't think of the other party at first.
After regaining his composure, Killer B created two Tailed Beast Clones and attacked Orochimaru again.
But Orochimaru would tell him that if the quality is poor, quantity is useless, and the two clones were destroyed in no time.
"Headbutt Eight Swords!"
With a powerful impact, Killer B's head collided heavily with Orochimaru's Orochimaru, sending him flying once again!
In my memory, only his brother Ai could suppress him in this state, and now there's another one.
If Orochimaru knew what the other person was thinking, he would definitely tell him that this was nothing, there was another female tyrant, and even his older brother lost to her in an arm wrestling match.
"Don't hesitate any longer. Complete Tailed Beast Transformation can we possibly contend with that guy. Otherwise, you and I would probably be killed by him today!"
Having been tricked by Orochimaru, the Eight-Tails was already eager to come out and kill him. In addition, Killer B, in his Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, was being beaten so badly that he had no chance to fight back.
"Baka! You've been underestimated, huh? Well then, I'll stop pretending. I am Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki!"
As soon as he finished speaking, octopus tentacles emerged from behind him, and Killer B's body was covered by a ball of flesh. Soon, an Ox-Headed Octopus with prominent horns and claws resurfaced.
Seeing this, Orochimaru knew the real show was about to begin, and this time it was quite different from the Nine-Tails Attack.
Although the Nine-Tails was ferocious at that time, it was just a mad beast that had lost its intelligence. It had great destructive power but its attack power was scattered.
The Eight-Tails, however, retains its rationality. Killer B fought it as if he were piloting a Gundam, making it even more agile than the Nine-Tails under Uchiha Madara's control!
"It's about to start, let's go!"
"Um!"
The 60-meter-tall Gyūki's tentacles ripped through the lake water, causing it to explode like a raging sea. Its body leaped high into the air in an instant. Despite its enormous size, it moved with extraordinary agility.
"Hell Stab!"
All eight tentacles of the Gyūki gathered together, forming a sharp cone shape. It seemed to be covered with Chakra, making the cone look extremely powerful!
Orochimaru was quite surprised to see this. Did the Tailed Beasts all know how to use Ninjutsu? He remembered that only the Nine-Tails seemed to have this ability.
He was prejudiced. Just because the Eight-Tails didn't use it in the Original Work doesn't mean the other party can't. Those two hands of the other party aren't just for show.
Faced with the attack coming from the sky, Orochimaru rushed forward before the opponent even landed.
The two collided in mid-air, and an explosion occurred the instant of the collision. A few breaths later, a figure shot down from the smoke.
The rocky platform below was immediately smashed to pieces by the figure.
After a while, Orochimaru returned to the surface of the water, soaking wet. This was the first time he had been defeated, and he had witnessed the true strength of his opponent.
"His strength is even greater than Kokuō's. It seems he's been inactive for a long time and has become lax!"
He ripped off the tattered cloth from his right arm, tearing his clothes apart with a single blow. A tingling sensation spread through his arm, but a hint of excitement appeared on his face.
It's been a long time since I've encountered a worthy opponent; the last time I played freely was before.
Having landed a successful blow, the Eight-Tails did not stop its attack. Its eight tentacles kept slapping at him, and its two fists were also swift and powerful.
Faced with ten relentless attacks, Orochimaru dodged while simultaneously launching a full-scale counterattack, resulting in a close-quarters melee between the two despite their mismatched size.
"Looks like we need to hurry, we're not far from Kumogakure!"
Thinking of this, a bright light suddenly appeared around Orochimaru. The next moment, a giant of light rose up from the ground, blocked the attacking tentacles with one punch, and then punched the opponent directly in the face.
The sudden turn of events caught the opponent off guard, and the massive Eight-Tails fox staggered backward.
Once it regained its balance, it could see the scene before it clearly, and both it and the Killer B inside it frowned.
"This is... Susanoo? No, the opponent doesn't have Sharingan, and I've seen Susanoo before, this doesn't look like it!"
The well-informed Eight-Tails immediately recognized the giant before it, and then it fell into even greater confusion.
This giant of light is certainly not Susanoo, but rather an energy body condensed by Orochimaru using energy— the Six-Armed Heavenly King, a new technique he recently developed.
The Six-Armed Heavenly King has three heads and six arms, with a blue face and fangs, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Hashirama's Immovable Wisdom King.
Its entire body was over fifty meters tall, almost the same size as the current Eight-Tails.
"God Descends to Earth!"
While the Eight-Tails Fox was still in a daze, the enormous figure of the Six-Armed Heavenly King had already begun to move.
A Crow Sitting on a Plane landed on the Eight-Tails, its six arms pounding down on it like a storm.
Of course, the other party was not to be trifled with either. After being slapped hard, it realized what was happening and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the other party using its eight tentacles.
However, Orochimaru's Six-Armed Heavenly King was not an energy form created by using Dōjutsu like Susanoo. When the tentacles engulfed the giant, a scorching heat rose from the giant's body.
The Eight-Tails creature felt like it was about to turn into takoyaki, and the burning sensation made it immediately release its tentacles.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Six-Armed Heavenly King grabbed one of its tentacles, then condensed a giant energy sword in one of his hands and slashed down at the tentacle without hesitation.
At the cost of losing one of its tails, the Eight-Tails finally escaped the giant's attack range.
Seeing the tentacles still emitting blue smoke, and even smelling a faint fragrance in the air, the Eight-Tails plunged headfirst into the lake.
Having achieved his goal, Orochimaru withdrew his energy avatar. This technique was indeed effective against large Tailed Beasts, but it consumed too much energy and couldn't be maintained for long.
In summary, it has high burst damage, high mana consumption, and short duration, and still needs further improvement. I really wouldn't want to use it if I didn't want to get the opponent's Chakra as quickly as possible.
Orochimaru took out a Sealing Scroll and put away the still wriggling takoyaki in front of him.
After completing this task, the rest is up to you to do as you please...
