But this was only the beginning. In the distance, Shukaku, who had not moved at all, opened his massive mouth and condensed a Tailed Beast Ball, firing it at Eight-Tails.
Before one wave had settled, another rose. Such was the tragic reality of being besieged.
"Damn it!!!"
Sensing the incoming Tailed Beast Ball, Eight-Tails ignored the large patch of flesh corroded from his body. He quickly opened his mouth, condensed a Tailed Beast Ball, and fired it out, colliding with One-Tail's Tailed Beast Ball. But because of the time and distance involved, One-Tail's Tailed Beast Ball had already reached a point not far from him.
As a result, the two Tailed Beast Balls collided and exploded, engulfing Eight-Tails himself.
"Roar!!!"
Eight-Tails' pained roar rang out from within the explosion's mushroom cloud.
"Why struggle?"
To everyone's surprise, Obito suddenly materialized beside Eight-Tails. He scattered several Black Rods from his hand, and they shot out at high speed, pinning Eight-Tails' tails firmly to the ground.
"Then I'll be taking Eight-Tails."
Watching Eight-Tails struggle in pain, Obito turned toward Ay, who had just climbed back to his feet, and sneered repeatedly.
"Bastard!! Idiot!! You think I'm that easy to deal with?"
Obito's laughter came to an abrupt stop as Killer B's curses suddenly rang out behind him. A massive fist came smashing toward him, but unfortunately, such an attack was almost completely ineffective against Obito.
Just like Ay, Killer B's attack missed. His fist passed straight through Obito's body.
Having failed to land his sneak attack, Killer B quickly leaped away. Standing at a distance, he grimaced and grunted through clenched teeth. When a jinchuriki entered Tailed Beast Transformation, the two were one body—meaning the injuries and pain suffered by Eight-Tails would also be transferred to Killer B. Neither man nor Tailed Beast
